CHAPTER 4!:D

Mitchie's friends were still talking when they noticed that Mitchie is crying. They immediately shut their mouths and comforted Mitchie---patting her back, giving assuring words like "It's okay", and things that friends do if they see one of their friends in a tight spot.

Mitchie wiped her tears and gave her friends a genuine smile. She can't believe that she found true friends that are always there for her. She smiled at the thought.

"What are we going to do, Mitchie?" Caitlyn said suddenly. "We don't want you to leave!" Shane added. "I don't want to leave either." Mitchie said. "But if mom decided to accept the job offer, it's fine with me....I'll respect her decision. Wait here, I'll just get some dessert."

Mitchie's friends watched her go to the dessert table with worried eyes. They were determined to do anything....as long as their Mitchie will not leave Camp Rock.

Mitchie, however, felt a little better after she told her problem to her friends. She was right; sharing her problem to her friends would be a great help. As she went to her friends' table, she saw them whispering to each other. Whatever are they talking about? she wondered.

She immediately sat down beside Shane after she reached the table. She put down her plate(which has a piece of chocolate cake) and glanced at her friends curiously. "What were you talking about a while ago?" she asked her friends. "Nothing." they answered back in perfect unison.

Later that night, the sky was full of stars.

The evening wind is breezy.

Camprockers were now asleep in their cabins....

and in one of the cabins, which was believed to be "abandoned" already, are Caitlyn, Shane, Peggy, and Lola.

They were planning something to stop the "Mitchie-leaving-Camp Rock" plan. But, unfortunately, they can't think of a plan. Why? Because if you look at their meeting place for conversation, you will really think that it is abandoned.

Cobwebs in every corner.

Old instruments littered all over the place.

The wooden floor creaks everytime they step on it.

Suddenly, Caitlyn broke the silence. "I've been in abandoned rooms before, but they look nice. Doesn't look abandoned at all, in fact. But this is the worst abandoned room that I've ever been in my ENTIRE LIFE!!!" she said, frustrated.

"Yeah, I know...." Peggy said. "But we have to sacrifice. Just remember it's for Mitchie. And just think, this is the only place that campers do not go in anymore. If we have chosen Shane's cabin, for example, someone might eavesdrop.....especially to someone that we know." she finished.

They nodded agreeably. They knew who that "someone" that Peggy mentioned....it's none other than Tess Tyler.

"Yeah, you're right," Lola said. "and it's for Mitchie....for our Mitchie." she finished.

"HEY, GUYS! I FOUND A PERFECT SPOT!" Shane suddenly exclaimed.

Peggy, Caitlyn, and Lola went to Shane's destination. Sure enough, there was a small table and four chairs sitting in the center of the cabin. Immediately, they sat down.

"So," Shane began, "does anyone have a suggestion?"

"I have no idea....it's hard to think." Lola said. "Yeah." agreed Caitlyn. "Come on, guys....remember, for Mitchie?" Shane said. "Yeah, guys, Shane's right." Peggy piped up. "It's for Mitchie...we have to think of something."

The four friends looked at each other. They don't have any ideas....but all they have to do is think...think...think.....

"I got it!" Caitlyn exclaimed, a big smile on her face.

"What? What is it?" Shane asked, geniunely interested. "Mitchie said that that executive manager is Brown's friend, right?"

Lola, Peggy, and Shane nodded.

"So, surely, that manager will come here to Camp Rock, probably for a visit or something---or maybe, to check if Connie will accept the job offer....so, surely, he will eat here...correct?" Caitlyn said.

Again, the three nodded.

"So...we must have to sneak something terrible on the food that Connie will prepare for the manager. Of course, he'll be a little surprised at first, because he was used to the good food that Connie prepared for him when he first tasted it. But, if we keep putting something horrible there, he'll be turned off at Connie's cooking and backed out the offer." Caitlyn smiled.

"That's a brilliant idea, Caitlyn!" Shane clapped his hands.

Lola and Peggy, however, are having doubts. "Isn't that a bit too....well....um....sneaky?" Lola asked.

"Well, it is sneaky, I admit, and it may even leave a bad impression on Connie.....but it's for Mitchie, remember? And, we all know that Connie's cooking is the best...and besides, it's only the manager's food that we are going to sneak in something...not the entire Camprockers' food....so only that manager will leave a bad impression on Connie. Unless, if he will make a scene or---even worse---an article on a paper that Connie's cooking is really bad, then we have to step in and clear things up." Caitlyn explained.

"That's exaggerating! An article about Connie's cooking on a paper? Man, that's just harsh." Peggy commented.

"But it may happen." Shane confirmed. "I've seen all these news on newspapers about trash-talking...and it all started on little things. We have to do this for Mitchie, but we also have to be very careful....this manager may be powerful....and he can do something that can ruin Connie's reputation forever." he finished. "Yeah." Caitlyn agreed. "Okay....this plan's fine with me." Lola said with a smile.

"Wait." Peggy suddenly put in.

"What?" Caitlyn asked.

"How can we make sure that the manager will come here to Camp Rock?" she questioned. "Remember, Connie has a communication with the manager---through phone." Peggy said. "Yeah...man, I thought the plan was already made!" Caitlyn said, frustrated. "We can talk to Mitchie tomorrow and ask her to ask Connie to let the manager come over here. We'll make her act that she's really fine with the job offer. We'll not make it obvious that we have a plan, of course....we have to tell Mitchie about all of these if it will be a success...she might also get angry about this. Yes, she will not leave Camp Rock anymore, but we left a bad impression on Connie---her mother. But, as Caitlyn said a while ago, we have to step in and clear things up if that's going to happen....but still, she may get mad. If Connie will not be okay about letting the manager come over here, we'll make her beg to her mother. We still need to act that we're okay about it, though. It's hard, but it's for Mitchie---we have to do everything." Shane said. "Man, that's a real tongue-twister.....I still have doubts, but...okay. I'll give it a try. We'll give it a try. " Peggy smiled.

"So...the plan was made?" Shane said.

"Tomorrow....we'll make Mitchie ask her mom." Caitlyn said.

"For Mitchie?" Shane said.

"For Mitchie." the three girls replied.

They all smiled. They just hoped that their plan will be a success.
