There on the dock stood a small group of people. It consisted of Caitlyn, Nate, Jason, and Brown. They were all grinning omnisouly at the couple. With diffulculty and embarrasment, Shane and Mitchie made their way onto the dock and took off their life jackets.

"So," Caitlyn said, wrapping her arms around her chest in an expectant way. Mitchie blushed red, knowing where the conversation was going. "How long? Brown, Nate, Jason, and I were actually planning to find a way to get you two together if you guys didn't do it yourselves!" Caitlyn's face broke into a large smile.

"So, poppet, would you mind telling me exactly what you see in my nephew?" Brown put his arm around Shane's shoulders, completely ignoring Shane's blatant glares. Mitchie blushed.

"What do you mean?" she gave a nervous smile. Brown grinned again.

"I mean you are sweet, shy, kind, and have a wonderful voice. Shane on the other hand, has a terrible attitude, probably spends more time on his hair then you and Caitlyn do combined, is the bad boy of the press, not to mention –"

"She gets it Uncle Brown, thanks," Shane gave him a sarcastic smile. Brown shrugged.

"All I'm saying poppet, is that the only good thing Shane has is his musical talent. I am sure you of all people could do so much better." Brown shook his head. "Kids these days, maybe we should tell your mother. She how she feels about it you know, I mean you are her only daughter, so of course she and your father should know." Brown smirked.

"No!" Mitchie looked at him wide eyed.

"You mean, your parents wouldn't approve of you dating?" Nate exeraggeted his hand movements.

"No, it's just that I don't think everyone should know so soon." Mitchie replied nerverously. Shane nodded in agreement. He didn't much like the idea of the press getting a hold on Mitchie.

"You don't want everyone to know? You don't want people to know that there actually is a caring side to Shane Grey? 'Cause if you do we totally have a problem with that!" Nate replied.

"Actually, I don't have a problem with that." Jason shrugged his shoulders. Caitlyn, Nate, and Brown all gave him a look. "We have a problem with that!" he said shaking his head as if he were mad at them.

"And you say that I am imitidated easily," Mitchie muttered. Everyone laughed, except Jason.

"That's mean!" he said.

"No, that's the truth," Nate replied, turning to talk to Jason.

"No, I am not always intimidated!" Jason responded angrily.

"Yes, you are!"

"No, I'm not!"

"Yes!"

"No!"

"Guys!" Shane yelled.

"Sorry," Jason and Nate mumbled, looking down. The girls laughed and pretty soon the boys joined in.

"Any way, you guys won't tell, right?" Mitchie looked at them, her innocent, doe eyes silently pleading with them. The four seemed to take mercy.

"No we won't tell, but you really should tell your mother and father," Brown caved. Mitchie smiled brightly.

"Thank you, thank you! Of course I will tell my mom. Me and Caitlyn will tell her at dinner tonight. Right Caitlyn?" Mitchie turned her brown eyes to Caitlyn.

"Yeah, I help you come up with a way to tell your mom, don't worry." She replied. "Now come on, we are going to be late if we don't go now!" she grabbed Mitchie's arm.

"Bye! See you guys later!" they called over their shoulders. The boys watched them disappear before turning towards Shane.

"Wow, she's something huh?" Nate said, his eyes still lingering on where Caitlyn had just been.

"You got it bad, huh?" Shane laughed, putting his arms around his best friend. Nate turned to him.

"Maybe, but I am not the only one. Jason over there is crushing on the girl who sang Hasta La Vista," Shane turned towards Jason, who shrugged.

"I like her, she's nice. I got to talk to her at the end of Final Jam." He responded. Shane grinned.

"You and Ella are a lot alike too, you know." Shane responded. Nate gave him a fake horrified look.

"You mean she's –" Nate pretended that he couldn't bear to continue. Shane decided to play along.

"Yeah, god help us all." Shane responded. He and Nate walked off of the dock, leaving Jason behind. Right when they turned the corner, Jason caught on.

"Hey! You guys! That's mean!" he exclaimed, running to catch up with his two best friends. All he got in response was laughter.


Hey guys! I was looking back at my other three chapters and I realized every single chapter, I left in a cliffy. The first I stopped right when Shane was going to respond to her, the second I stopped right before they kissed, and the third I stopped before saying who was on the dock. I am sorry! That is so mean, but it kept you guys reading! Well, I, as usual, am not sure about this chapter so please tell me what you think. I tried really hard not to leave it in a total cliffy, so please don't be mad at me! Also I put Brown calling Mitchie Poppet, because that's what he called her at Final Jam. What he said exactly or some what similiar was, "Rock it, poppet!" so I just added it as his nick name for her.
