As promised, the next chapter! Thanks for reviewing guys! Enjoy!

"Aw, look at that little cub!" Tess pointed out. Peggy smiled, too.

"It's so cute!" Peggy gushed.

"You know what else is cute?" Shane whispered to Mitchie as he kissed her forehead. She giggled as she looked up.

"No, what?" Mitchie asked back.

"You."

Mitchie stuck her tongue at him. "That's so cliché."

"You know you love it." Shane smiled as Mitchie placed her head on his shoulder. "Seriously, you know what else is cute?"

"Something besides me?" Mitchie fake gasped.

"You're the cutest thing to me, but personally, my favorite animals are penguins. Wanna see them?" Mitchie nodded as she got off of Shane's chest. "Hey Tess! Peggy! We're gonna split now. That okay?"

Peggy nodded as Tess answered, "Sure! See you at lunch! Bye!" They waved to each other as they parted ways.

"It really has been a long time, hasn't it Jay?"

"D-Don't c-call me Jay," Jason stuttered out as he watched Zach step closer to him. "Wh-What do y-you want?"

Zach simply ignored his question. "You've come a long way, haven't you Jay. Big famous band with your brothers. Talented girlfriend. Awesome friends. You're even noted as a 'hottie' to most of your millions of fan girls." Jason simply nodded as he slowly stepped back. "Have you forgotten all about me Jason? Me? Your best friend?" Jason could tell Zach's voice was rising, making Jason feel smaller and smaller.

"What do you want?" Jason asked again.

And again, Zach ignored him. "You've really changed. Now you can actually stand up on your two feet and actually defend yourself and your friends. But apparently not your family." Those words struck Jason hard. "You actually let Kenny out of your sight. But don't worry, I was watching him. I could have done life-scarring things to him, but I decided not to. I could have done so many things to him."

Jason was shaking as Zach spoke. "Wh-What do y-you want?" Jason asked again, feeling less confident than before.

"You know, I could have hurt him real bad. I could have tortured him real bad." Jason cringed at the word torture. "I could have beaten him." Jason cringed once again. "And slapped him." Jason closed his eyes painfully. "I could have even touched him." Now Jason was shaking again. "In fact, I could have even..." Zach smirked evilly as he looked at Jason's shaking figure. He walked up to Jason and finished saying, "Raped him."

Something snapped inside Jason. All of a sudden, he went from fun-loving and carefree to protective and angry. Jason lunged at Zach with all he had and started choking him as Jason was on top. The two started struggling, knocking down things around them as they rolled around.

"You will never touch Kenny ever again," Jason growled as he tightened his grip on Zach's throat.

"I thought penguins were Jason's thing," Mitchie joked as they walked together.

"I guess he was rubbing off on me. I've known him my whole life. You know how it is, living with someone for seventeen years, ergo, my whole life," Shane responded shrugging.

"Wow. Pop star Shane Gray can say words like ergo," Mitchie teased.

Shane huffed. "I prefer rock star, thank you very much."

Mitchie rolled her eyes. "Whatever you say, jerk."

Shane opened his mouth in fake shock. "I am offended."

"Aw, did I hurt Shaney's feelings," Mitchie asked in a baby voice. Mitchie started to laugh as she ran from Shane's grasp.

"Oh, it's on." Shane started chasing Mitchie around the zoo, both of them laughing until they finally got to the Penguin Den. Both were breathing quickly when they stopped. They finally calmed down once Shane had Mitchie back in his arms. He kissed the back of her head. "That was fun."

"Yeah."

CRASH!!

Both of them looked at each other, both shocked, and immediately ran towards the source of the crash. They heard some more crashes and thumps and immediately found themselves in front of the Penguin Feeding door. Shane immediate swung the door open, revealing Jason on top of Zach, choking him tightly with a death-glare on his face.

"You will never touch Kenny again," Jason growled darkly.

"Oh my God! Jason get off him!" Mitchie freaked out.

"No!" Jason hissed darkly. He snarled, "Zach was gonna RAPE KENNY!"

"What?!" Shane screamed. "Let me at him!" Shane would have clawed Zach's face off if Mitchie wasn't holding him back. She knew how close Shane was with Kenny. Of course he would react like this. But still, Mitchie had to say something.

"At least don't kill him! You guys could go to jail and you'll lose your record deal!" Mitchie yelled at the two brothers.

Both Shane and Jason stopped long enough for Zach to escape from Jason's death grip. He stared the brothers down while they just glared back. "So, your precious record deal is more important than me, your best friend, huh?" he snarled.

"We love playing music. You're just a jerk," Jason spat coldly.

"Aw, Jason's brave now. You've seriously grown up haven't you?" Zach smirked as he picked up a pipe near his feet.

"Shut up!" Jason and Shane were about to run at him until,

"Freeze! Don't move!" The three boys turned to see a police squad at the door, each man holding a gun. Zach dropped the pipe he was put his hands up. Jason and Shane put their hands up, too.

"Get out of our way!" Nate barged in holding hands with Caitlyn and Mitchie followed quickly going straight to Shane and Jason.

"Are you guys okay?" Mitchie asked inspecting both boys' heads.

"I'm fine, I got a couple bruises, but I'm fine. How bout you Shane?" Jason asked.

"Ditto," he simply replied.

Mitchie hugged them both. "That's good to hear. Now..." Mitchie grabbed both boys' heads and banged them together, causing both boys to yelp.

"Hey!" Jason cried.

"What was that for?" Shane whined.

"You idiots!" Mitchie screamed making both boys jump. "You two could have been killed! You know how dangerous Zach is! He kidnapped Kenny for crying out loud! You're lucky I only banged your heads together or else I would have killed you two instead!"

Both boys went silent, including their friends and the police. They just stared while Jason gulped. Shane just looked at Nate after a moment and said, "Oh my God. That was so hot."

Nate glared at him and thumped him. Caitlyn shook her head and walked out of the room with Nate. The police, and even Zach, stayed quiet as they left the room. Once they were the only three left, Mitchie burst into tears. "I could have lost you two!" she cried as she put her head in her hands.

Shane and Jason both gave her sympathetic looks before immediately going to her sides and hugging her. "We're sorry Mitch. We didn't mean to get your worried," Jason assured.

"We were just being protective older brothers for Kenny because he's our youngest brother. Nate is also our younger brother but we know he can stand on his own two feet. We just love Kenny and want to protect him," Shane continued, wiping away some of Mitchie's tears. "Hey, no more tears now, okay?" Mitchie nodded and slowly wiped away the rest of her tears.

"How did Nate find us anyway? Weren't you at the door the whole time?" Jason asked Mitchie.

Mitchie nodded again. "Yeah, you see..."

"Wow, so monkeys are really your favorite animals?" Nate asked as he laughed.

"Well yeah. It looks like they're dancing when they move so it's pretty funny," Caitlyn responded, smiling.

"So I guess it's time to see my favorite animals isn't it?"

"Yup." Nate took Caitlyn's hand and they started walking faster towards their destination. "At least let me guess. Please?" Caitlyn pouted cutely so Nate gave in easily.

"Okay, fire away."

"Yay! So, lions?"

"Nope."

"Elephants?"

"Uh-uh."

"Monkeys?"

"We would be going in circles if they were my favorite. No offence though about them being yours."

"None taken. So, eagles?"

"Not a bird."

"Penguins?"

"Those are Jason and Shane's. And aren't they birds?"

"Yeah but I just had to try it. And I thought birds were Jason's thing."

"Yeah but, you know. Living with him you're whole life, he's bound to rub off on you sooner or later. So for Shane, it was sooner."

"Ha ha. Very funny. But seriously. Are we there yet?"

"You sound like we're on a road trip and yes, here we are."

Caitlyn turned around and saw that Nate had brought her to the Polar bears. "Aw! They're so cute!"

Nate leaned back on a bench and smiled. "Yeah they are. Oh! Look at that one. He's doing somersaults!"

"Aw! You're right! They look adora--"

CRASH!! THUMP! THUMP!

"Oh my God! What was that?"

"I think it came from over there," Nate said, pointing towards the Penguin Den. "It sounds like it's coming from the back." Nate took Caitlyn's hand and they ran to the feeding area. They quickly found Mitchie standing at the door, her hand covering her mouth. "Mitchie!" Mitchie ran to them, breathing heavily. "Mitchie. Mitchie, what's going on?"

Mitchie pointed to the door and Caitlyn and Nate quickly ran to it. They saw Jason and Shane fighting Zach, all three of them literally rolling around the floor. "Oh my God," Caitlyn whispered. "Nate! Call the police!" Caitlyn was now shaking him.

"Okay! Okay! I'm on it!" Nate put his hands up in surrender as he walked away, dialing on his cell phone.

"Wow, they actually saw us fighting him?" Shane asked Mitchie. She nodded.

"Why don't we get lunch now so the others don't worry," Mitchie suggested. They nodded. As they walked up to the tables, Tess and Barron waved them over. "Hey guys."

"Hi," they greeted back.

"So, what happened at the Penguin Den? We heard there were police there," Sander wondered.

Nate, Caitlyn, Shane, Jason, and Mitchie casually leaned back in their chairs. "Oh nothing. Just stuff," Mitchie responded coolly.

Uh, I wish this chapter could've been better. Oh well. Review and stuff...
