Hey
guys! I'm so sorry it took so long for me to update.
I have an
excuse...
I just got home from Europe and it was fabulous! I kinda
got harassed by this creepy guy while I was in France, but otherwise,
I'm good.
To Mr. Creepy Guy... I am not top model, stay away from my boobs.
Anyways, guys, I hate to say it but, this is the final chapter!

The bags were all packed, the bunks were all cleared out, the dates had been x-ed out, and the departure date was circled several times in green. Mitchie stood in front of it, continuously circling the date. It was the day. She never thought that she would be excited to leave Camp Rock, but she was. Who wouldn't, under the circumstance? She was leaving to tour with Connect 3... as their opening act. She let out a squeal, and then continued circling the date. Suddenly, two strong arms wrapped around her from behind.
"You know you're just going to tear a hole in the calendar by doing that?" She heard Shane ask. Mitchie shrugged and leaned against him.
"I'll buy a new one." She said simply, making Shane laugh. "You know, I doubt you'll really have the time to do that while we're touring. Every spare moment is spent with the fans or rehearsing." He said.
"Can I just draw a calendar on your chest in washable marker?" Mitchie asked innocently. Shane chuckled and nuzzled his face into her hair.
"What would the fans think?" He asked. Mitchie turned around and smiled.
"That you're a sexy calendar." She joked. She looked around Shane's cabin, which only held his sheetless bed and the Connect 3 calendar. "What do you want to do while we wait for the others?" She asked. Shane grinned and brought his face down to her level.
"I can think of a few things."

Ah, tag. The simplest of games. You never really had to be a genius to understand how to play. You would just tag someone, yell 'You're it!' and then run for your life, screaming like a madman. The perfect game for the most simple minded of people. Lucky for Jason and Sadie.
"You're it!" Jason exclaimed. Sadie giggled and tagged him back.
"No, you're it, silly!" She exclaimed.
"You're it!"
"You're it!"
"You're it!"
"Nuh-uh! You're it!"
"YOU'RE IT!"
"You're it!"
"You're it!"
"You're it! No tag backs!" Sadie yelled triumphantly. Jason pouted and sat down on the bed. Then, after a minute or so, he smiled and slapped himself across the face,
"I'M IT! YOU'RE IT!" He yelled as he tagged Sadie, who stood in shock.
Okay, so maybe you DID have to be a genius… at least to play against Jason.

Rule number one. It is the one rule that must be followed no matter what. All other rules can be ignored, but this one… Whoa, if you let this one slip, you would get an ass whooping.
"Cait… I'm bored." Nate whined. Caitlyn shrugged and kept reading. "Hello, Cait? Earth to Caity? Helloooooooooo? Is anyone there?" But Caitlyn just shrugged him off and kept her nose buried in her book. "Caity…" Before he could finish his sentence, his forehead was greeted with the blunt surface of Caitlyn's book.
"Never EVER get in between me and my Harry Potter." Caitlyn growled. She grabbed her book and continued to read.
Rule number one: Ignored.

"Mitchie, you have to promise to call home every night." Connie ordered. Mitchie nodded.
"Yes, mom, but-"
"And you have to promise that there will be no funny business between you and Shane." Connie said, cutting her daughter off.
"Yes mom, but-"
"And you have to promise to get to bed at a respectable hour."
"Yes, mom-"
"And you also have to promise-" This time, it was Mitchie's turn to cut her off.
"I will brush my teeth, I will change my underwear every day, I will wear appropriate clothing, I will not talk to strangers, I will not accept candy from strangers, I will not leave the bus without somebody, I will not randomly marry some guy, I will not get drunk, I will not drive, I will not get plastic surgery, I will not run away to Mexico, I will not leave tampons around the bus, I will not attack Nate with a straightener, I will not attack Shane with a curling iron, I will not find Hugh Jackman and attack him, I will not fight with anyone, I will listen to Brown when he talks to me… Did I cover everything?" Mitchie asked. Connie smiled.
"You forgot to say that you would have fun." Connie said with a wink. Mitchie pouted and got off of the counter.
"I'm going to miss you mommy, so much." Mitchie whined. Connie frowned and held her arms out. Mitchie went up to her mother and hugged her.
"I'm going to miss you too, honey. Just think of this as preparation for when you and Shane get married and have several dozen children." Mitchie blushed and shoved away from Connie.
"Mooom!" She whined. Connie winked. "You know it's true. As I was saying, you'll be so busy with Shane, that you won't have time for me." She said. Mitchie frowned.
"Mommy, I'm always going to have time for you." She said, making Connie smile.
"I love you, Mitchie."
"Love you too, mommy."

All of the bags were on the bus, all of their names had been taken off of the attendance lists, and all of their parents had been notified.
Caitlyn, Nate, Jason and Sadie had already gotten on the bus after saying goodbye to their friends. Mitchie and Shane, however, were still outside, waiting for Connie to finish talking to Brown.
"You excited to go on tour?" Shane asked excitedly. Mitchie shrugged. "Hey, what's wrong? You don't want to come anymore? If you don't, it's no problem. You can stay here, if you want. I'll stay with you-"
"You don't have to do that." Mitchie said quietly. Shane frowned, and Mitchie wrapped her arms around his waist. "I'm going with you on tour, whether you like it or not." She said with a grin. Shane leaned down and pressed his forehead against her.
"I think that I may like that idea." And then he kissed her.
It was the end of a beginning, and the beginning of a new end. Mitchie would never forget the friends that she had met during her stay at Camp Rock, nor would she forget any of the memories, good or bad.
She would, however, forget what it was like sleeping on a bed.
"SHOTGUN TOP BUNK!"

IT'S
THE END, MY LOVELIES!
I know, I'm as sad as you are… perhaps
even more. This story was like a baby to me… No, I didn't neglect
my story; I just started taking my time with it.
For all of you who have stayed with me until the very end, I thank you. You guys are the few faithful ones.
Never, in my wildest dreams, did I think that I would keep this running as long as I did, nor did I think that I would get as many reviews as I did.
You guys are spectacular. Not even. There are no words to describe the gratitude I feel towards you guys. Thank you, thank you, and thank you.
For those of you who would like to know, I will be writing a sequel. I expect ALL of you to check it out once it is up.
If you don't, I will hunt you down and eat your brains and gain your knowledge,
I'm kidding!
Anyways, you guys, it has been an adventure. We have all had our ups and downs, but I cannot wait until the next one.
Until the next time
Zoom zoom!
