Sorry for the long wait. I wasn't sure of how to write this chapter so it may seem rushed. Sorry, again. I'll have the next chapter up tomorrow. Enjoy and sorry! Again!
"I had this annoying thought in my head that kept on telling me that he looked familiar." Jason gulped before continuing as he looked at his brothers. For some odd reason, they felt like they knew where this was going. "I think Kenny's kidnapper was Zack Kendall."
"Okay. This is very bad then?" Shane asked cluelessly.
"Shane! I nearly killed my best friend! How do you think this makes me feel?" Jason shot back.
"Sorry! Sorry! Look, you can get your mind of it today. We're going to the zoo. You know what that means Jas?"
"No..."
"Birds!"
"Huh?" Then Jason's face lit up in realization. "Birds! Penguins! Toucans! Flamingos! Os--"
Nate stuffed one of Jason's bird toys in his mouth. "Seriously dude? Can't this wait til' later?" Jason nodded and got up to get ready. Nate muttered under his breath, "Man, I hope that we do not see Zack in the next 24 hours. Things were just getting better."
"Boys, you're late," the teacher scolded. "And just because you three are famous does not make up for the fact that you're late. You will get no special treatment. All three of you will have lunch detention tomorrow."
The Connect Three brothers nodded as they sat in their seats. Shane muttered a few curses under his breath and thankfully, the teacher didn't hear him. But Mitchie did. She leaned forward and tapped his shoulder, asking, "What happened?"
When the teacher wasn't looking, Shane turned around and whispered back, "I'll tell you in the bus." Reluctantly, Mitchie nodded and shrugged as she sat back down in her seat.
Soon enough, all the students were waiting outside for the buses. The group's bus came first and they boarded it quickly getting the back seats: Shane and Mitchie in a two-seater, Nate, Caitlyn, and Jason in the three-seater. The others were in the other bus. Nate groaned as he put his head back.
"What's up Nate?" Caitlyn asked as the bus started moving.
"I hate bus rides," he complained.
"Dude, we tour all the time. How can you possibly hate bus rides?" Shane wondered.
"That's different. We were in a tour bus where we had things we could do. This is a field trip in a school bus. Not much to do."
"We could sing," Jason suggested out of nowhere. All eyes turned to him. "What?"
"We have no instruments."
"Actually..." Caitlyn went into her backpack and took out her laptop. "I have the instrumentals of some of your songs. Maybe you could sing one of them?"
Nate's face lit up. "Whoa, which of our songs do you have?"
"Well, I have S.O.S, When You Look Me In The Eyes, Year 3000, A Little Bit Longer, Tonight, Still In Love With You, That's How You Know--"
"That's How You what?" Mitchie finally joined in the conversation. "How do you have that?"
Caitlyn looked away in space. "Well... I may have looked in your song book..."
"Caitlyn!"
"I'm sorry! It's just that your songs are so good and..."
"Fine. It's okay," Mitchie sighed. "Wait a minute, how many of my songs have you read?"
Caitlyn shrugged. "I don't know. Some of them. Like La La Land, Daydream, Two Worlds, and other songs you've already sang to us. Oh, but aren't some of them about Shane?" Caitlyn raised her eyebrows as she said this making Mitchie blush.
"Maybe..."
"Aw, you wrote songs about me?" Shane grinned as he put his arm around her shoulders. "Am I that awesome?"
Mitchie playfully punched him. "Not a chance, popstar."
"I prefer rockstar."
"In your dreams, Shaney."
Shane opened his mouth like he did when he was in the canoe. He fake gasped. "Yeah, I'm just so hot that you love to dream about me." Shane popped his collar, making Mitchie laugh.
"Jerk."
"You know you love it." Shane reached down and kissed Mitchie sweetly.
"Guys! That's getting annoying! You don't see me making out with Caitlyn all the time!" The two broke apart to see a very annoyed Nate. "Come on! No lovey dovey stuff, please?"
Shane rolled his eyes. "Fine. Hey Caitlyn, why don't you put your laptop on shuffle and we'll sing whatever song comes up. Everyone okay with that?" The others nodded. Caitlyn did what he said and all of them were surprised. It wasn't an instrumental, but that's not what surprised them. The laptop played,
"Okay, here's your kid Sander,
And I'm here to let you know.
If you want to have fun,
There's only one place to go."
The five of them were surprised as they figured out it was Sander's song. Apparently after Camp Rock, Sander loved it so much that he made a song dedicated to it. He asked Caitlyn for some help on it and now they had a complete song. Jason surprised the other four as he sang along with the words. None of them even knew that he knew about the song. He didn't even notice the others' expressions and sang along,
"And that's,

As the music ended, Jason turned to the others and noticed that they were all staring at him. "What?"
They just shook their heads and said, "Never mind."
Jason shrugged and continued to sing the next song that came on.
"We're gonna check out the lions. Wanna come?" Tess offered.
Mitchie looked at Shane who just shrugged. Caitlyn and Nate looked at each other. "Um, I actually want to check out the monkeys..." Nate trailed off.
"Oh, we are so there!" Sander yelled while Barron just nodded in agreement.
"So we'll go with Tess and Peggy. Wait, what about Jason?" Mitchie asked.
Everyone turned to Jason but be wasn't where he originally was. They started looking for him until they finally found him sitting on a bench, cross-legged, staring strongly at a map. The group looked at each other, then at Jason, then back at each other wondering who should talk to him.
"Um, Jas?" Peggy decided to speak up.
"Penguins," Jason simply replied, still glaring at the map.
"What?" Nate and Shane asked annoyed by their older brother's antics.
"Where. Penguins."
All four guys looked at each other in confusion. The girls rolled their eyes except for Mitchie who understood what Jason meant. She walked over to him and his map and pointed to where the penguins were and where they currently were. "Right here Jason. And we're over here so you should go this way," Mitchie answered, trailing her finger along a path on the map.
"Why this way?"
"Because you get to see other birds that way, too," Mitchie answered with a wink. Jason grinned widely before engulfing Mitchie in a tight hug.
"Thanks Mitchie! You're the best!" He immediately released her and started running in the direction Mitchie pointed out.
"Wait Jason! Watch out for..." But Jason was already gone and out of hearing distance, making Mitchie sigh at his childness. Nate walked up to Mitchie.
"What's wrong Mitch?" Nate asked, obviously concerned.
Nate was answered with an ear-splitting, "AAH! IT'S JASON GRAY!" The group immediately covered their ears for the screams that would follow. Shane and Nate groaned in annoyance while the others laughed because if people knew Jason was here, no doubt they would figure out that Shane and Nate were here, too.
"I say we run for it now," Caitlyn suggested as she took her boyfriend's hand. Everyone else nodded and they took off immediately in the opposite direction.
"Aah! Help me!" Jason ran from the eighty girls that were trying to chase him. Even on a field trip he had no privacy. He continued running, while briefly stopping to look at birds, until he spotted the Arctic Zone. Jason immediately ran in and hid behind a huge penguin statue. Thankfully, no one saw him go there and the girls frantically disappeared, searching for the other Connect Three members.
"Excuse me?"
"Aah!" The voice startled Jason so much that as he attempted to run away, he ran into the penguin statue. The voice giggled.
"Don't worry. I'm not a crazy fan girl." Jason turned around and there stood a girl who seemed to work there that looked slightly older than him. "Hi, I'm Jackie."
"You probably know me. I'm Jason." He shook her hand.
"Yeah, so. I don't want to seem all fan-girly but can I have your autograph?"
"Sure." Jason signed the paper on the clipboard she handed her.
"So, do you need any help finding a certain animal?"
"Yeah! The penguins!"
Jackie laughed at Jason's enthusiasm. "Okay then. I'll bring you there since it's nearby." After passing the polar bears and the seals, they were in from of the penguins. Jason was literally jumping up and down and looked like he could almost fall over into the penguin den. Jackie laughed, again. "You know you can feed them right? Would you like to?" Jason nodded quickly. "Okay, come this way."
Jackie brought him to a room where there was an entrance for the penguins and a bucket of small fish. Jackie explained how to feed them and Jason nodded as she explained. She left him there when she thought he could do it himself.
Jason was enjoying himself fully. He was enjoying himself so much, he didn't notice the new person that came in and locked the door. Jason froze though when the person said,
"It's been a while, hasn't it Jay?"
Ha ha. It's pretty obvious who it is, isn't it? Hey, who got the Jonas Brothers new album? I'm so mad. My parents won't let me get it...yet. Oh, but who got Demi's new single? Get Back? It's awesome right? And the Jonas Brothers are the backup singers! Save this date: September 23 for Demi's first (signed-on) album, Don't Forget! I can't wait! Wow...this is so unlike me. You know what to do.
