AN: Sorry for the late post, but I had absolutely no time to post until just now (thanks to my summer job :-( ).
Thanks to the following reviewers:
DemiLenaJonas, I thought Shane would say something like that. At least the old, jerky Shane would. And I tried to make everyone's quotes/actions true to their characters in the movie.
L Is For Left, since I can't post the URLs on here, I sent them to you in a separate message. And I'm happy you like it so far.
vickybarb, I could totally see that too. That's Jason for you…
SapphireJKL, aww, thank you so much :)! Here you go…

Chapter 3
Jason hummed happily to himself as he raced out of his guitar class. Usually he'd stay a little bit longer, but today was the day Nate was going to build a birdhouse for him. He couldn't wait!
He ran right over to the bird sanctuary, and sat down on one of the benches. He watched, fascinated, as the birds flew over and around him, chirping to themselves.
"Hi, birdies!" Jason said cheerfully, gazing in awe as the birds flew in circles around him. "Isn't it a beautiful day in the neighborhood?"
"Chirp, chirp," the birds replied.
"I know," Jason went on, thinking it was perfectly normal to talk to birds. "It's sunny, there's big, white, fluffy marshmallow clouds in the sky, and I can watch you guys all day! And Nate says he'll build a birdhouse for you to live in. Won't that be awesome?"
"Chirp, chirp," the birds said again.
"What colors do you want your birdhouse to be? Blue? Red? Yellow? Green? Purple?" Jason scrunched his face as he tried to think of other bright, happy colors. "Shane's favorite color is green, but mine's blue." (AN: I know that Kevin's favorite color is green, and Joe and Nick's favorite color is blue, but since it was mentioned in the movie that Shane's favorite color is green, I thought I'd make Jason's favorite color blue).
"I know, I'll make them blue AND green. Wait, what do you get when you put blue and green together? Nate told me green is made from blue and yellow, so blue and more blue and yellow makes…" Jason was confused now. "Maybe I'll just paint them in every color. That way, Shane won't be mad at me for making the birdhouse not green, and I'll have all the pretty colors you want, just in case you don't know which color you want. Is that OK?"
Before the birds could chirp again, Jason heard someone singing. The birds flew away, toward the voice, and Jason looked around.
"Wait, birdies, COME BACK!" Jason cried. "I promise, I'll make you a birdhouse. I just need to get paint, wood, some nails, a hammer…" Jason ran after the birds, trying to get them to stop and listen. "Where are you going?"
Just then, Jason saw someone in the sanctuary, on the edge of camp. It was a girl he'd never seen before, with long brown hair, and she was singing sweetly. The birds flew toward her, chirping in response as they finally perched on the bench where she was sitting.
AN: Any guesses as to who the girl is? Or if Jason will ever get his birdhouse? Review, and you might just find out.
I know it's really short, but the next part will be longer…maybe.
