Yo people. Awesome! 100+ reviews! That's more than when I finished my first story, "Behind the Mask"! Thanks guys! Anyway, this might be my last post for this week. Sorry, but I will definitely update on Monday. So, read and review!

"Hey guys!" Jason greeted the group. He had at least five bird houses stacked up in his arms so no one could see his face. The others gave him confused looks but Jason couldn't see them. Once he put down his bird houses he saw their confused looks, he gave one back. "What?" Everyone pointed to his bird houses. "What can I say? I love birds. You know--"

Before Jason could give his documentary speech on birds and their habits, Shane stuffed an apple in Jason's mouth. Jason's mumbles were ignored as Mitchie, Nate, and Caitlyn silently thanked Shane for shutting him up.

"So," Jason finally removed the apple from his mouth and took a bite from the apple. "How's music?"

"Horrible. Why couldn't you have joined so we could have the full band?" Nate asked.

"Tess."

"What? Kelly's in the class, not Tess."

"No. Tess!" Jason pointed to Tess who was walking towards them, along with Peggy, Barron, and Sander. "Hey guys! What are you doing here?"

Barron and Sander did that man-hug thing with the Connect Three boys. Peggy, Tess, Mitchie, and Caitlyn did a regular hug. All of them, even Tess, were on good terms now. They sat down at the table and Jason finally got to hug and kiss his girlfriend after a long summer.

"Tess brought us here on two of her tour buses and all her parents said that we could go to school here for the year," Peggy answered before placing her head on Jason's shoulder. "We would have brought Ella but she had to go visit relatives or something."

"So, what's been going on guys?" Tess asked.

"We," Caitlyn pointed to her and the Connect Three boys, "moved next door and in front of Mitchie's."

"No way! That is so cool! We totally have to stop by later!"

"Yeah, my parents would love to see you guys again," Mitchie said and then asked, "Tess, do you have a cousin, Kelly Tyler?"

Tess nodded after thinking about and asked back, "Why?"

"Well, we had a pool party the other day and remember that disk we burned for all of us that had one or two songs from each of us? Yeah, we were playing your song Too Cool and Kelly heard it and came over. She said it sucked and that your voice is stupid."

"What?" Tess barked loud enough for the whole cafeteria to hear. She quickly flared up and screamed, "Kelly Tyler! Get your ass over here!"

Kelly turned her head around and flashed one of her fake bright smiles. "Tessie! It's been too long." Kelly stood up to hug her but Tess slapped her hands away.

"What gave you the right to criticize my voice? You sound worse than me and that's an understatement!"

Barron and Sander yelled, "Oh! You just got burned!" before rapping,

Tess is the girl
She rocks the world
Can't tell her what to say
Cause it's always her way
We had a rough start
Piercing eyes like a dart
But now it's all cool
She's part of our crew, oh!

Mitchie, Peggy, and the others clapped along with everyone in the cafeteria. Most of them were impressed with Barron and Sander's quickly thought up rap. For the Camp Rock kids, it was nothing new but still pretty cool.

"Nice rap guys," Shane high-fived Barron and then Sander.

"You know, we got an extra room in our house. You guys can stay over," Nate offered to Barron and Sander.

"You two, Tess and Peggy," Mitchie said. "My parents wouldn't mind."

"And I could come over on weekends so we can have sleepovers," Caitlyn said. Mitchie was shocked but was joking at the same time.

"Wow, I didn't know you had a girl side," Mitchie joked.

"Hey!" Caitlyn playfully punched Mitchie's arm. The other four shrugged.

"I think it would be okay with my parents," Peggy said.

"Mine, too," Barron and Sander said together. "Awkward."

"Mine too, but I would just need to check on the tour buses every day. I promised my mom to make sure nothing is stolen or missing. You know, just being safe," Tess shrugged. The others nodded and totally forgot about the frustrated Kelly who was standing on the sidelines.

"Hello?" Kelly annoyingly asked. "Who the hell are you guys and what are you doing here?"

"They're more of my friends," Mitchie answered. "And they're just touring the school today and tomorrow. Happy now? Good." Mitchie sat down and continued to ignore the frustrated Kelly who just strutted her way back to her seat.

"So, what kind if classes are you guys taking?" Peggy asked out of the blue.

"Shane is stuck in the same classes as me, Caitlyn, and Mitchie," Nate laughed and stuck his tongue out at Shane who just glared and then pouted. Mitchie kissed his nose.

"Ha ha, laugh all you want. Mitchie, Nate, Caitlyn, and I are in music for our first elective. Jason chose bird-watching. Guess what he chose for his second elective. Woodshop, to make more bird houses for his birds, or any that come in our backyard."

Tess and Peggy laughed at the blushing Jason. "Wait, what do you mean 'in your backyard'?" Sander asked.

"I have a collection," Jason answered.

"Of forty-three birdhouses," Shane answered, putting his head down in his arms.

"Actually forty-nine birdhouses. I'm working on my fiftieth in woodshop."

"You've got to be kidding me," Shane mumbled from in his arms.

"We should really stop coming here," Nate stated as he watched Jason finish his fourth coffee. They were at Starbuck's, Jason's favorite place to be besides at home or the pet store. He was literally jumping in his seat and the others just stared at him weirdly.

"I love coffee! Isn't great! It tastes so good! I just love it so--" Shane stuffed a cookie in Jason's mouth before he could finish or continue his very quick and long rant about his love of coffee. It was one of the only things Jason loved besides birds, birdhouses, and his family.

"Wow Peggy, I don't get how you fell in love with this bird-loving twit," Shane said as he put his arm around Mitchie. Jason stuck his tongue out at Shane before putting his own arm around his girlfriend.

"So, where's the mall?" Tess asked out of the blue.

"Oh, you wanna go? It's nearby," Mitchie said.

"Why don't we have like a girl's night out but like in the afternoon?" Peggy suggested.

"Yeah, great idea!" Tess agreed.

"Wanna come Caitlyn?" Mitchie asked.

"That depends," Caitlyn answered. "What are you guys going to do?" Caitlyn asked the guys.

Jason immediately said, "Pet store." Everyone, especially his brothers rolled his eyes. Peggy giggled at his childness.

"I'm gonna check out the music stores. You feelin' me B?" Sander asked. He and Barron bumped shoulders and laughed. Barron nodded, showing agreement.

"We'll come with you," Nate said gesturing to himself and Shane. "We'll have to show you around anyway." Shane's eyes widened.

"Why do I have to come? I want to be with Mitchie!" Shane protested.

Nate leaned over and whispered things to Shane that made the tips of his ears turn red. The others tried to listen in but all they were able to hear was, "Clothes shopping... dresses... shoes... talking (or gossip)... boys... fans... embarrassing." Shane blushed at the last word Nate said and immediately agreed to go, apologizing to Mitchie for not being with her. Secretly, and Nate was thinking the same thing but for Caitlyn, he would get something for Mitchie.

"Okay then, I'll go with the boys. I'm trying to listen to more music to help me make more music," Caitlyn decided as she got up. The others got up from their seats, too.

"Then it's settled," Mitchie said. "See you guys later!"

"So Tess? Got a guy?" Mitchie asked, looking through some hanging shirts.

"Actually I do," Tess answered, holding up a pair of tight black jeans. "His name is Jaime. He's cute, funny, and one hell of a basketball player. He plays guitar, piano, and drums, too. Also really nice and listens to me."

"Hey," Peggy said. "You know what's funny? Your first initial being T and Jaime's being J, it's like your mom's name if you put them together. T-J Tyler."

"Yeah, he's so sweet. He bought me this necklace with both of our initials, like you just said." Tess held up the necklace from around her neck. The T was sparkly blue while the J was sparkly pink.

"Wow!" Mitchie and Peggy said together. "It's so pretty!"

Meanwhile with the guys, Barron and Sander were rapping on the way to the music store. They rapped,

Us two are best friends
It's never gonna end
When we're with our crew
There's nothin' we can't do
When we're put to the test
We're always the best
We didn't we win Final Jam
But still friends in the end, dang!

Shane, Nate, and Caitlyn laughed as the other two started broke into hip-hop and break dancing. The three other cheered them on but we're quickly catching attention and soon had a small crowd watching. Shane and Nate's eyes widened in realization.

"Uh, guys. This is bad. You need to stop now," Caitlyn whispered to Sander and Barron who were both still dancing but could here her clearly. She also knew what Shane and Nate realized.

"Why?" Sander and Barron asked and looked at her skeptically. Caitlyn was about to answer but was immediately cut off.

"OH MY GOD! IT'S SHANE AND NATE GREY!" a fan girl screamed.

The dancers immediately stopped and realized what Caitlyn was saying. Barron and Sander muttered, "Oh dang." and quickly took after the already running Shane, Nate, and Caitlyn. They quickly caught up and started running around the mall, being chased around by fan girls. They were able to lose them when they hid in the nearby pet store.

Meanwhile with Jason, he was staring at a green parrot. "Chirp, chirp," Jason chirped.

The parrot eyed him back. "Chirp, chirp. Chirp, chirp. Squawk!" The parrot flapped his wings in his cage.

Jason smiled. "Cool."

"Cool. Cool. Squawk! Cool."

"I want to get you!"

"Get you! Get you! Squawk!"

"What should I name you? Oh, my name is Jason."

"Jason! Jason! Squawk!"

Jason's grin became even wider. "I know! I'll name you--"

"Jason!" a voice called as he was knocked down by five people.

"Hey! Get off me! I think I'm gonna get claustrophobic!" Jason yelled as they got off him.

"Sorry man," Barron said as he helped Jason get to his feet. "So, what were you doing? We saw you, um, talking to the parrot."

"Oh, I'm gonna buy him. I'll call him, Jake."

"Jake! Name's Jake! Squawk!" Jake squawked and flapped his wings. Nate and Shane crossed their arms.

"Jason..." Shane and Nate warned. "Remember your other pets?" They eyed him while he just shrugged.

"No, why?"

Shane and Nate just rolled their eyes while Jason looked at them completely confused. "Fine," Shane said. "You can get the dang bird. Besides, I don't think Nate and I would like to get into detail about your other pets."

"Yay!" Jason skipped to the entrance of the store and bought his new bird, Jake. While this happened, the other boys and Caitlyn followed and were immediately caught up with the other girls.

"Hey guys, what's up?" Mitchie asked, greeting them. Shane sighed and pointed to his older brother. Jason took out his parrot from it's cage and placed him on his shoulder like a parrot.

"That," Shane said, "is what's up."

Peggy, Caitlyn, and Tess laughed as Jason said, "Squawk!" in response to his parrot's "Squawk!"

"Hi guys! Meet Jake!" Jason said, gesturing to Jake. Jake flapped a wing as a wave. The girls, Barron, and Sander waved back while Shane and Nate just rolled their eyes.

"This will only lead to disaster," Shane muttered to Nate who just nodded in agreement.

Just so you know, not a cliffhanger. This was basically a filler and I just felt like giving Tess a guy. Whatever, you know what do and stuff.

Ja ne.
