Disclaimer: I don't anything to do with Camp Rock.

AN: Sorry again for the delay! I was originally going to do all the characters in the film but I think I might leave it after the next chapter which will be Shane because I just can't keep up with updates. Sorry! This one is Tess - I hope you enjoy it! And thanks to Robert47 who added this to favourites and kind of reminded me that I had an unfinished story.

1. Caitlyn was her first real friend. She uses the word real because Caitlyn spoke to her as though she was just another camper and not TJ Tyler's daughter and she wasn't afraid to tell her to shut up. It really hurt her when they fell out because the reason for the argument was something trivial and was mostly Tess's fault.

She still doesn't know why she couldn't just apologise to Caitlyn, because she knows she would have forgiven her in an instant.

2. At one point, she really did think she liked Shane but it was partly because her Mom thought it was a good idea for them to duet together. But it really hurt when she saw Shane and Mitchie in the canoe together, not because Mitchie was with Shane and she wasn't but because Shane was opening up to Mitchie and no-one had ever done that to her.

3. At the end of Mitchie's first year at Camp Rock she made a promise to herself to change so she wouldn't end up like her Mom because she knew she had already lost some good friends.

She was really surprised when Peggy came to talk to her before Camp finished telling her to keep in touch. After that day she looked at Peggy in a new light.

4. She managed to get her first recording contract without her Mom's help and for some reason, it didn't really faze her that her Mom basically told her she didn't care. She had looked through her Mom's hone and called pretty much all the contacts and then sent off demo CD's to all of them.

To be fair, her Mom had been impressed until she heard the CD and then told Tess that she would never listen to her kind of music.

5. By the time she was 20, she found that she was one of those people that was perfectly happy being single, and as a result she tended to avoid dates.

When Jason asked her out to dinner, she didn't realise he meant it as a date until they had ordered starters. She felt really guilty when Jason stumbled over his words and told her that it was fine if she wanted to go home so she smiled at him and told him she wanted to stay. She didn't really expect it to be the best date she had ever been on.

6. For some time after her last year at Camp Rock, she took off. She didn't really consider it as running away, she considered it more a holiday of sorts. She ended up backpacking across the States and a few years later, when she told the original Camp Rock gang and Connect 3 what she had been up to, nearly all of them laughed.

Shane didn't. He told her that he knew what it felt like, to need a break and to find out who you really are and from then on, she found they had a lot more in common then she had thought.

7. Her father had never had a huge role in her upbringing and he had never stopped her from doing whatever she wanted. If there was something she wanted to buy, she would go to her Dad first. When she was younger, she sometimes felt that he didn't really care about her much, but when he bought her album she reconsidered. When he told her he was proud of her for standing up to her Mom, she felt the slightest bit guilty.

8. Around the time Jason proposed to her, she spent a long time in conversation with his various friends. Some of the conversations were pleasantly surprising if not a little awkward but her favourite was when she spoke to Nate when he dropped in to congratulate her because they'd become friend over the time that she and Jason had been dating.

Nate spent over an hour with her, telling her everything there was to know about Jason's habits so she knew what she was getting herself into. It was only when she promised to do the same for Caitlyn when he finally worked up the courage to ask her did he shut up.

9. No one ever expected her to be a stay-at-home Mom, especially after her success in the music industry but she wanted so much to be the Mom that she had always wanted to her kids, she didn't even stop to think about it.

Caitlyn and Mitchie warned her that she might resent her kids a little for it one day and she even doubted herself for it one day, but Nate convinced her she was doing the right thing. She hasn't given it a thought since.

10. When her oldest daughter asked her why she didn't have a gran on her Mom's side, Tess decided it was time to patch things up with her Mom. She invited both her parents over to dinner and even though her Mom spent most of the evening answering any questions coldly, when she left, she surprisingly gave her granddaughter a hug and Tess has never been more grateful.

Jason joked afterwards that the Wicked Witch of the West was melting but Tess had never loved her mother more.
