A/N I DO NOT OWN ANOTHER CINDERELLA STORY OR CAMP ROCK! I ONLY OWN THIS PLOT!

Later that afternoon everyone sat in Brown's class as some of the beginners went up to sing. None of them could really sing well.

"Ok uh…Mitchie, Mary why don't you two come up here and show these kids how it's done." Brown said.

Mitchie and Mary stood up and went to the front of the room. They looked at each other and smiled.

Mary

"You come from here

I come from there

Mitchie

You rock out in your room

I rock a world premiere

We're more alike than

Anybody could ever tell

(Ever tell)

Friday, we're cool

Monday, we're freaks

Mary

Sometimes we rule

Sometimes we can't even speak

But we can get up and

Let loose and LOL

It may seem cliche

For me to wanna say

That you're not alone

(That you're not alone)

Mitchie

And you can call i'm cool

But it's a simple fact

I got your back

(Yeah, Yeah, Yeah)

Both

'Cause we're one and the same

We're anything but ordinary

One and the same

I think we're almost legendary

You and me the perfect team

Chasing down the dream

We're one and the same

Mitchie

I'm kind of like you

You kind of like me

Mary

We in the same song

And a different key

It's got a rhythm

Than you and me

Can get along

(Get along)

It may seem cliche

For me to wanna say

That you're not alone

Mitchie

And you can call i'm cool

But it's a simple fact

I still got your back

Both

'Cause we're one and the same

We're anything but ordinary

One and the same

I think we're almost legendary

You and me the perfect team

Shaking up the scene

We're one and the same

'Cause we're one and the same

We're anything but ordinary

One and the same

We're so good moment momentary

Cause we're one yeah, Yeah, Yeah

'Cause we're one

Anything but ordinary

You and me the perfect team

Chasing down the dream

Oh, You and me the perfect team

Shaking up the scene

We're one and the same"

Everyone cheered for them.

"When you all leave here you will all be able to hit those same notes and even more." Brown said as the girls went back to their seats. "Before long I will turn all newer students out there into a rock star."

All the kids cheered. Brown laughed. "All right, that's enough for today, everyone out."

Everyone was going to leave when Brown stopped them.

"Mitchie, hold on. Can I talk to you for a second?"

"Sure Brown, what's up?"

"Look, I know you must hate me for hiring your father for a job here."

Mitchie sighed. She was mad at Brown but she didn't want to say anything.

"Why did you do it Brown? You know how much he's hurt me. You know how much he's hurt my mom. Why would you bring him to the one place I go to escape him?"

"Honestly Mitchie I was desperate. After our recent feud with Camp Star we lost a lot staff members. Dominique came looking for a job and I knew having her working here would be good for business so I hired her, she told me she had a friend who knew lots of music and had a real love for it and that he needed a job. I was so desperate for another teacher I said yes. I swear I had no idea who it was until it was too late. If it really makes you that upset I'll fire him, this is your home Mitchie not his. You are allowed to say who stays and goes."

Mitchie smiled as tears filled her eyes. She always thought of Camp Rock as her second home but hearing Brown say it made her feel so much better.

"He's all right for now Brown. I can handle it. I've got my friends and Shane by my side. I can handle him."

"If you change your mind just let me know."

"I will thank you."

Brown smiled at her and she smiled back.

She headed back out the door to catch up with her friends. She honestly deep down really wanted Brown to fire her father but the Camp couldn't survive without staff members so he had to stay otherwise she'd lose Camp Rock and that would be like losing her home.

"You all right?" Shane asked.

Mitchie nodded. "I'm fine. Brown and I were just talking about my dad. It's fine."

"Are you feeling a little more…" Joey struggled to find the right word. "…relaxed…comfortable…I don't know…better about your father being here?"

"Comfortable, no, I'll never be comfortable with him working here. Relaxed…a little, better…I don't know. I'm still in shock I guess. I still feel a bit breathless but I'm getting better."

Shane pulled her into his arms.

"We're all right here if you need us."

"I know Shane thank you."

"Well I hate to be the barrier of bad news but we've got our next class with Steve and right after him is Dominique….can you two handle it?" Caitlyn asked.

Mitchie and Mary shared a look.

"I've got even worse news. Joey and I are needed to teach a class at the same time so we won't be able to be in class with you…" Shane sighed.

The girls looked back at their friends. "We will be fine, Dominique and Steve have no real power over us. They can't hurt us. Plus the class is only an hour long We can handle it." Mary said.

"Ok, call us if you two need anything." Shane said.

They gave their girls a kiss and left. Mary and Mitchie headed into the classroom with their friends.

The all found their seats and sat down. Just then Steve walked in.

"Hello future Rock Stars is everyone ready to rock?" he asked.

All the younger kids cheered. A small smile appeared on Mitchie's lips. Her father had always started with that line when he was teaching her how to sing.

"All right, well the first rule in learning to sing is never care about how others see you. You have to have self confidence in yourself and your music. If you don't…well you don't have whar it takes to be a true rock star. You wouldn't want to make the same mistake my ex-daughter Mitchie did."

Steve smirked at his daughter.

"Oh no, he wouldn't." Mitchie whispered to herself.

"My daughter Mitchie was so low on self confidence that she came home from school crying every day."

"He would, why did I agree to this?"

"Everyday Mitchie would come home crying and everyone day she'd doubt herself and her music. I tried to be a good father and help it overcome it but she didn't care about me. All she cared about was coming here."

"Mitchie gained her confidence here so shut it!" Caitlyn said.

"Do not talk to me that way young lady. I'm talking about before she even heard about Camp Rock I'm talking about back with she was a child."

"Dad stop it please." Mitchie begged as tears filled her eyes.

"My daughter Mitchie had no confidence in herself at all in fact she didn't even have any friends until she was in high school. Even that friendship didn't last…."

Mitchie got up and ran from the room. Her friends got up and went after her.

"Mitchie it's ok." Caitlyn said.

"You guys were never supposed to know that." She said not looking any of them in the eyes.

"Like we care? Mitchie we are all friends now. You've come a long way since you were a kid." Caitlyn.

"Plus not all his facts were true. You and I have been friends since diapers." Mary said.

That made Mitchie smile. "Yeah I guess you're right. Thanks."

"Come on let's skip this class."

"Can we skip the next one too." Mary muttered.

"At least just try. I at least tried." Mitchie said.

Mary nodded.

They all headed to the next classroom. It wasn't long before that class started. Only this time Dominique came in with a small portable tv with an attached VHS player.

"All right all you wannabes. You are all about the same age as another little girl I knew who wanted to be a dancer just like her mother."

Mary just shook her head refusing to let Dominique get to her.

"Now sure right now you may stink and be horrible but everyone is there first time. Here watch this tape and see what I mean. This video has a small girl trying to get a dance move right but keeps failing and her mother offers her some words of advice."

Dominique turned on the tv and the video started. Mary's eyes went wide. Her mother was on the screen dancing in a small studio. Just then she saw a younger version of herself go running into view.

(On video/real life)

"Mommy!" little Mary cried running over to her mother and hugging her.

"Hi Mar, what are you doing here?"

Just then another women walked in.

Mary remembered her as an old babysitter.

"I'm so sorry. I just got a call I have a family member in the hospital and I couldn't watch her."

"No, of course go, family first. I'll keep Mary with me."

The lady left the room.

"Mommy I want to dance." Little Mitchie said.

"You always want to dance. Wouldn't you rather sleep, it's way past your bedtime."

"No I want to dance."

Her mother laughed.

The sound of her mother's laughter brought tears to her eyes.

"All right one move. Watch me."

Her mother spun in a circle a few times none stop. "You try."

Little Mitchie tried to spin but tripped and fell on her butt. Her mother laughed at her again.

"Don't worry sweetie you'll get it. I promise one day you will be a famous rock star but you have to promise me that you'll never give up and you'll always keep trying."

"I promise mommy."

"Good girl."

Just then Dominique walked into the screen. She was wobbling and looked drunk.

"Are you ready to go?" she asked.

"Yes, but Mary is with me now so let me drive. You're drunk." Her mother said going over to her.

That's when Mary realized what they were watching. Her eyes filled with tears. They were watching her mother's final moments.

"Oh no not this anything but this!" Mary cried.

"What is this?" Caitlyn asked.

"This is my worst nightmare!"

The video continued to play until finally Dominique won the fight and her and her mother walked off screen. Mary knew what happen next.

"No!" she cried.

She got up and ran out of the room. The other ran after her. She grabbed one of the boats and pushed it into the water. Someone grabbed her arm.

"Let me come too." Mitchie said.

Mary nodded and the both got into the boat and paddled away. They went to the other side Camp Star had been abandoned. It was still set up and everything but no one was there and the only way to get there was to cut across Camp Rock. As they were paddling when they heard splashing behind them. They turned and saw Joey and Shane on a boat behind them. The girls didn't stop paddling until they reached the other side. One they pulled up they got out of the boat the guys were right behind them. The girls didn't wait a second before going right into their boyfriend's waiting arms and hugging them close hiding their faces in the guy's chest. The guys held the girls tight rubbing the back to help soothe them.

"It's ok, it's over now. Just try and calm down. You're safe." Joey said.

"I want my mom." Mary said.

"Oh baby I wish more than anything I could give her to you. She's watching over you though and she loves you."

"I miss her Joey. I miss her so much."

"I know you do baby. I know you do. It's ok to miss her. Just try to remember she wouldn't want you to be upset."

Mary nodded.

"What did he do baby girl? Tell me, did he hurt you?" Shane asked Mitchie.

"He told them, he told everyone all about my past at school, he told the whole class. He called me his ex-daughter, he brought up Sierra and I just…I lost it Shane. I couldn't stay in there anymore."

"It's ok. It's over and you're safe. I've got you."

Mitchie just nodded against his chest clinging to him tightly. For the first time in her life Mitchie felt unsafe at Camp Rock.
