Start All Over? Chapter 38: The Final Jammers Take The Stage, a camp rock fanfic

And now, FINALLY, the ending to Start All Over? Ah, this was my favorite story to write. It was gonna be short like my other story, like 12 chapters but it was just so fun to write! I hope the next one will be, too. Remember, the sequel, Gonna Get Back (yeah, I changed the name) will be posted next Tuesday. Thanks for reading this and review!

Mitchie, Shane, and their friends were backstage waiting for their turn to go up. The Connect Three band backed out from being judges so they could help out with other acts. They wouldn't sign up themselves. In order to this, they needed to find replacements so they were able to get their Uncle Brown, TJ Tyler, and with permission from the school, Kenny Gray. All of them were "celebrity" judges so the school was okay with it. Everyone was okay with it but Mitchie and her friends were happier because almost all their friends from Camp Rock came to see them perform in the talent show.

First up were Tess and Peggy. Sharing the lead, they sang Two Stars while dancing, too. This time though, Tess didn't fall because she knew that her mom completely supported her, even if she had a phone call. Next were some jugglers, acrobats, and then a skater who did some pretty impressive tricks on a half-pipe. Following him, were Barron and Sander. Together they did their song, Hasta La Vista, and even brought in trampolines so they could do their flips and jumps. They completely wowed the judges, especially Kenny who wanted to jump on one of the trampolines after Barron and Sander got off. He was literally jumping in his seat.

Kelly strutted her way to the stage before saying to Mitchie, "You're going down Itch." She had an evil grin on her face that made Mitchie know something was up. Caitlyn sensed this, too, and their suspicions were proven right when they heard the music coming from the playing CD. All of their friends' eyes widened in realization.

"How to choose, who to be
Well let's see
There's so many choices now
Play guitar, be a movie star
In my head a voice says,
'Why not try everything?
Why not reach for any dream?'
I can rock, 'cause it's my life
And now's the time

Who will I be?
It's up to me
All the never ending possibilities
That I can see
There's nothing that I can't do
Who will I be?
Yes I believe
I get to make the future what I want to be
If I can become any one and know the choice is up to me
Who will I be?"

Mitchie, Tess, Peggy, and Caitlyn's jaws dropped. They could not believe what Kelly was doing. Caitlyn was the first to say something. "Mitchie! That's your song!"

"I know! I can't believe they stole it!" Mitchie exclaimed. The boys' eyes widened at what the girls were saying.

"Wait, that's your song?" Shane asked. Mitchie nodded. "Wow, it's pretty good."

"Thanks, but right now that's not the point. I can't change my song to This Is Me! It's a duet and just about everyone in the school knows it because of Music class. What am I going to do?"

"We Rock," Jason said. Everyone turned to him.

"What?" they all asked.

"Sing We Rock from Final Jam. No one knows it besides us Camp Rock campers. It would work. See, Nate and I could play guitar while Caitlyn uses her laptop for the other instruments," Jason explained.

Nate whistled. "Never thought you would be this smart."

Jason just shrugged. "I have my moments."

Tess' face lit up. "I've got an idea to go with Jason's! But it will include all of us, even Barron, Peggy, Sander, and I."

"How would you do that?" Mitchie wondered. "You can't do more than one act."

"You'll see. Now here's the plan..."

"Okay, and now our final performer will be—" The principal was cut off as the music teacher came up to him and handed him a note-card. He nodded and read it over. "It seems that Mitchie Torres, Caitlyn Gellar, Tess Tyler, Barron James, Sander Lawyer, and Margaret Dupree have all withdrawn from the talent show despite all ready performing."

Kelly smirked at this. Ella, Lola, Andy, and the rest of the campers that came were shocked. "Instead, our final act will be the, um, Final Jammers! So give it up for them!"

The crowd was unsure of the sudden change in plans and in the acts so the Final Jammers only received a scattered applause. But not from Kenny. Boy, he was so excited it looked like he would wet himself, and he hasn't done that since he was three. Kelly's jaw dropped as she saw the crew that took the stage.

Original name, right? But they just made the name in a few minutes so give them some credit. The Final Jammers came on stage and arranged themselves as they were during Camp Rock's Final Jam but with a few adjustments/changes. Nate and Jason were still standing on the side but also holding Caitlyn's laptop and Shane and Mitchie found some chorus stage bleachers. They decided to use that for when it was time for them to sing their part as they descended the stairs.

Ella, Lola, Andy, and the other campers from Camp Rock realized what they were doing and jumped on stage to help fill in the gaps from before. Caitlyn nodded as she counted off. Once she got to zero, Nate hit the spacebar on her laptop and it played a recorded version of their Camp Rock friend Andy's drumming. The crew started dancing, too, along with Nate and Jason playing.

"'Cause we rock!
We rock! We rock on!
We rock! We rock on!"

Tess and Peggy sang, followed by Sander and Ella,

"Come as you are
You're a superstar
World in your pocket and you know it."

Barron took over, followed by Nate and Jason,

"You can feel that beat
Running through your feet
Heart's racing faster
You're rock and rollin'."

Mitchie and Shane descended down their stairs as they sang to each other,

"All that you need is the music
To take you to some other place
Where you know you belong."

Everyone turned around and started dancing together.

"Raise your hands up in the air and scream
We're findin' our voice, followin' our dreams
'Cause we rock! We rock! We rock on!
Nobody in the world's gonna bring us down
The louder we go, well the better we sound
'Cause we rock! We rock! We rock on!

We got the music in our soul
It's the thing we love the most
Lifts us up when we fall down
It turns our world around."

Mitchie and Shane had their mini-duet while everyone else chanted "We rock! We rock! We rock on!"

"Everyday and everynight!
It's how we want to do it now!"

Everyone finished together,

Raise your hands up in the air and scream
We're findin' our voice, followin' our dreams
'Cause we rock! We rock! We rock on!
Nobody in the world's gonna bring us down
The louder we go, well the better we sound
'Cause we rock! We rock! We rock on!
We rock! We rock! We rock on!
We rock! We rock!
Camp Rock!"

The audience broke into applause and cheers once the music died. Everyone in the Final Jammers was smiling and laughing as they got up from their spots and bowed all together. Kelly was extremely pissed off and strutted her way backstage, quickly followed by her posse.

"Well, wasn't that a great performance?" the principal chuckled into the microphone. "We will take a short break so the judges can, well judge."

The whole crew ran backstage, all laughing and high-fiving each other. Mitchie and Caitlyn were hugging their boyfriends and everyone was enjoying the moment.

"Do you think we beat Kelly?" Mitchie asked.

Shane looked around. "Judging from the fact that she's no where around I'd say we stomped her into the ground," Shane responded, slightly laughing.

"Yeah!" the other guys' cheered.

"Oh, look! They're done!" Caitlyn pointed out, silencing everyone as they turned to the stage.

The principal opened the first envelope. "In third place, Kevin Lylson for his skateboarding! In second place," he opened the next envelope, "Kelly Tyler for her song, Who Will I Be?"

Kelly scowled as she went onstage and snatched her 2nd place trophy. She immediately strutted off, leaving the crowd confused and the judges happy. The principal received the last envelope and smiled as he opened it.

"And this year's talent show's winner is... The Final Jammers!"

The group cheered as they ran on stage. Barron, Sander, and Jaime held up the trophy while Shane, Nate, and Jason picked up Mitchie.

"Mitchie! Mitchie! Mitchie!" everyone cheered. She was blushing but still waved.

Well, first there was Final Jam, and then this. What could be next for them?

Yeah... I wrote this actually two months ago so that's why the last two lines were suckish. Oh well. Thanks for reading! The sequel will be posted next Tuesday!
