Chapter 9: Last Day of Camp (Part 1)
At lunch…
"Hey guys," Caitlyn greeted Mitchie and Shane as she came in holding hands with Nate. They sat down at Connect 3's table, where Jason and Ella were too busy looking at each other and flirting to notice anyone else.
"So, it's true then?" Nate wondered. "About Tess? She's coming on tour with us?"
"Yeah, man," Shane said. "But I'd rather have Mitchie than her."
"Yeah, I'd rather have Caitlyn on tour with us than Tess too," Nate said, blushing.
"Speak of the devil," Caitlyn said, just loud enough for everyone to hear.
"Hey losers," Tess smirked as she passed by their table. Shane winked as he stuck out his foot and tripped her.
"AHHHH!!" Tess screamed as she fell down, and her lunch splattered all over her. And someone else too. The room fell silent in a second, as everyone stared at them.
"Ms. Tyler, I need to see you in my office. NOW!" Brown roared. He was covered in mashed potatoes and gravy.
"But…" Tess was cut off.
"No buts, remember?" Brown said angrily. He paused, then borrowed Mitchie's napkin. "Excuse me, do you mind?"
"Not at all," Mitchie grinned, as Tess gave Mitchie and her friends the death stare.
Brown wiped himself off, then winked at Shane and Mitchie. "Keep him in line, love."
"I'll do that," Mitchie said, and squealed as Shane grabbed her and tried to kiss her.
As soon as Brown and Tess left, everyone burst into laughter.
"Did you see Tess' face?" Caitlyn giggled. "I thought I was going to die!"
"I wouldn't let that happen," Nate said, putting his arm around her. Caitlyn turned a bright shade of pink.
"She did get what she deserved," Mitchie said. "Remember when we had that spaghetti fight?"
"That wasn't funny!" Caitlyn said, still remembering her embarrassment.
"AHAHAHAHA!!" Jason laughed aloud. Everyone stared at him, and he looked embarrassed. "Wait, what?"
"AWKWARD!" Shane said, breaking the ice.
Nate ignored them, and quickly got down to business. "Anyway, so guys, I was thinking we could have our own little Final Jam. You know, just between us."
"But we did that already," Jason said, cutting into their conversation.
"Yeah," Ella echoed.
"So what? It'll be like Connect 6 or something," Caitlyn said, blushing as she said that.
"That gives me an idea," Shane said, getting up and pulling out his cell phone. He walked away from the group, while Mitchie stared after him. The others started talking excitedly, all pitching their ideas in.
Back at Brown's cabin, after lunch…
"Guys, what do you think about this?" Nate said, taking his guitar and starting to play a song. After he finished, everyone cheered.
"That sounds awesome!" Caitlyn said, then she thought for a moment. "Wait a sec…" She pulled out her laptop, and within moments, she pressed a key. Soon, the room was filled with beats.
"YEAH!" Jason got up and started playing his guitar, while Ella started dancing along.
"Nate, this is awesome!" Mitchie said, as Shane came in. "Hey guys, what's going on?"
"We're just jammin," Mitchie smiled. Then she tried to talk to Shane privately. "Hey, what was that phone call about earlier?"
"It's a surprise," Shane smiled as Mitchie pouted.
"Shane, you know I hate surprises," Mitchie whined.
"You'll love this one, I promise," Shane said. Going over to the rest of the group, he said, "Girls, would you excuse us please? I'm calling a band meeting right now."
"OK," Ella said, kissing Jason before she left. Mitchie and Caitlyn stared at each other, then shrugged, kissed their boyfriends, and left.
At the concert…
"OMG (Oh my Gray)!" Mitchie said, shocked. She never expected the whole camp to come out to see them, since it was a private concert.
Nate looked out, as people started noticing them and pointing. Some started screaming and cheering, and pretty soon, they started chanting "Connect 3, Connect 3, Connect 3!"
"Hey, everyone," Shane called out to the crowd. "How're you all doin' tonight?" Everyone cheered in response.
"That's awesome," Shane said, getting up on stage. Nate and Jason followed him up. Then Shane turned to Nate. "So, Nate, why don't we call up some of our lucky fans?" All the girls started screaming happily.
"OK," Nate said, making sure to pause long enough to give the girls hope. "Why don't we have…Mitchie and Caitlyn come up? They've done a great job on kitchen duty this summer." Some of the girls let out sounds of disappointment, but there were some cheers too.
"We need one more girl," Jason reminded them. "How about…Ella?"
Ella shrieked happily as Peggy hugged her, then she went up, clearly enjoying all the envious glances she was getting.
"And now, for our Final Jam winner, Peggy! Come on up, Peggy!" Shane called out, surprising her. Peggy smiled as she ran up on stage.
Once the girls had gotten seats on stage, the boys circled around them.
"This song's for you," Nate said, as they launched into their song.
Oh yeah, oh yeah
If the heart is always searching
Can you ever find a home
I've been looking for that someone
I'll never make it on my own
Dreams can't take the place of lovin' you
There's gotta be a million reasons why it's true
When you look me in the eyes
And tell me that you love me
Everything's alright,
When you're right here by my side
When you look me in the eyes
I catch a glimpse of heaven
I find my paradise
When you look me in the eyes
How long will I be waiting
To be with you again
I'm gonna tell you that I love you
In the best way that I can
I can't take a day without you here
You're the light that makes my darkness disappear
When you look me in the eyes
And tell me the you love me
Everything's alright,
When you're right here by my side
When you look me in the eyes
I catch a glimpse of heaven
I find my paradise
When you look me in the eyes
More and more, I start to realize
I can reach my tomorrow
I can hold my head up high
and it's all because you're by my side
When you look me in the eyes
And tell me that you love me
Everything's alright,
When you're right here by my side
When I hold you in my arms
I know that it's forever
I just gotta let you know
I never wanna let you go
'Cuz when you look me in the eyes
And tell me that you love me
Everything's alright (it's alright)
When you're right here by my side (by my side)
And when you look me in the eyes
I catch a glimpse of heaven
Oh, I find my paradise
When you look me in the eyes
Oh, yeah
Woah, yeah
As the last notes died away, the silence was replaced with deafening screams, cheers, and clapping.
Backstage…
"Aww, that was soooo sweet!" Caitlyn said. She hugged Nate.
"I meant every word of it," Nate said, looking her in the eyes. Caitlyn blushed as Nate kissed her.
"Same here," Shane said, looking at Mitchie.
"Aww!" Mitchie said, kissing Shane. They started making out.
But Jason and Ella didn't say anything. They started making out as soon as they got backstage.
"Um, guys?" Peggy said uncomfortably, staring at all the couples making out.
"Sorry, Peggy," Shane said, detaching himself from Mitchie.
"Guys, you were awesome!" a man said, coming backstage. He completely ignored the girls.
"Girls, this is Rob, our manager. Rob, this is Mitchie, my girlfriend, Caitlyn, Nate's girlfriend, and Ella, Jason's girlfriend," Shane introduced everyone.
Rob looked disinterested. "That's great, Shane. However, everyone loves a single rockstar, and since we can't have the media thinking you have girlfriends, your girlfriends have got to go. Besides, with your upcoming tour…"
"Rob, either they come, or I'm off the tour," Shane stood his ground. Mitchie couldn't believe what Shane was doing for her.
"Same here," Nate said, gazing lovingly at Caitlyn.
"Me 3! Get it? As in, Connect 3!" Jason laughed.
Rob stared long and hard at them. "I don't think so. You guys, your girlfriends, PLUS 2 other girls? This is gonna be one big mess. Shane, you were a mess before you got yourself a girlfriend."
"Come on, Rob, it'll be fine. We can handle it, right, guys?" Nate said, trying to keep Shane calm.
AN: So, what will Rob say? Will Mitchie, Caitlyn, and Ella get to go on tour with them? And who's Shane calling on the phone? What happens next? I need some ideas and/or suggestions, so please let me know. And I'm still taking song suggestions, so please review, I'd really appreciate it! The more reviews I get, the faster I'll post the next chapter.
