SapphireJKH, thanks so much for your review. Just wait…it'll get cuter. But then again, any story would be really cute if Jason were in it. Anyway, this chapter's for you.

Chapter 10

"So…" Caitlyn bounced up and down, impatient. "What is it?"

"You'll just have to wait and see," Shane said firmly, even when Caitlyn threatened to replace his hairspray with purple hairdye.

"Fine," Caitlyn grumbled, crossing her arms. "Shane, you go charm the violin class then. Mitchie, you go get the birds of paradise, and Nate, stop doing homework and go find a table and help me set up."

"A rockstar's job is never done," Shane reminded her.

"You mean popstar!" Mitchie and Caitlyn said together, as Shane scowled and Nate laughed.

"Stop laughing and get to work!" Caitlyn commanded, as everyone started running around.

Meanwhile…

Jason's POV:

Oh my blue jay, I can't believe Liz wants to go out with me! I hope I don't scare her away. I mean, I do talk about birds a lot. And she might think I want to marry one. Or change my last name to Bird. Which would be cool, because then I'd be related to Big Bird, and get to play with Snuffy, and Ernie, and all those other super cute Muppets. Except maybe Oscar and Bert. They're pretty grumpy, even more than Shane in the morning. Who doesn't love getting up before dawn? That's the best time, because you can see the birds as they're waking up, and then you can hear them chirping to one another. And they're so beautiful…just like Liz. I can't believe she likes me. I thought all girls thought Shane and Nate were the cutest. They get all the attention. I'd better make sure I get a nice suit and tie for tonight. Wait, I didn't bring one. Oh no…I have to ask Brown if I can go get one. And some birds of paradise to give to Liz. I just hope she doesn't think I'm a birdbrain. Or completely obsessed with birds…

"Brown!" Jason said, racing to Brown's cabin.

"Jason, what's up?" Brown said, opening the door before Jason ran right into it.

"I have a favor to ask you," Jason said, more excited about his date than he'd ever been about any concert he'd performed.

"What is it?" Brown wondered. With Jason, it could be anything.

"I met a girl…" Jason said. "And I really like her. Birds like her too, and you know how I love birds…"

"Go on…" Brown prompted.

"And I was wondering if I could go and get her some birds of paradise. They're my favorite kind of flowers. And I need to get a suit and tie."

"A girl, eh?" Brown smiled. "I don't see why not. I'm a sucker for romance. I think I have a suit and tie you could borrow. Let me see…" He went over to his closet, rummaged in there and pulled out a suit and tie. "This is for when I have to meet the press. You know, to advertise Camp Rock. Not that it needs any press…it practically advertises itself."

"Thanks, Brown…" Jason said, taking the suit and tie.

"As for the flowers, go on, mate. Go get your flowers, and get your girl," Brown smiled at Jason.

"Thanks, Brown!" Jason said, already heading toward the door.

"Hey Shane!" Jason said, seeing his bandmate. "What are you doing here?"

"Hey Jase," Shane said. "I need to talk to Uncle Brown about something."

"Is it something important?" Jason asked, intrigued.

"You'll see," Shane said, walking toward Brown's cabin.

An hour later:

Liz's POV:

Oh no…what have I gotten myself into? I can't date Jason! My parents would kill me and Jason, and I'm not even good enough for him. He's a famous popstar, and I'm just a girl who loves being invisible. Maybe I should go talk to Jason and call this date off. But I don't want to hurt him either. He seems to be really happy that we're having dinner together tonight. What should I do? I should talk to Mitchie and Caitlyn. They'd know what to do…

Liz walked around until she found Mitchie.

"Mitchie, can I talk to you?" Liz said shyly.

"Of course you can," Mitchie smiled at her. "What's up?"

"Jason," Liz sighed.

"I think I know just what you mean," Mitchie smiled, remembering how she felt when she thought Shane liked her. It made her nervous and doubtful of herself

"You do?" Liz was shocked.

"Been there, done that," Mitchie replied. "I think I know just what to do," Mitchie smiled wider, as she grabbed Liz's hand and dragged her off. "Come on, it's time to make you irresistible. Jason won't know what hit him."

"I don't…" Liz mumbled, but Mitchie assured her.

"Trust me, this'll work," Mitchie said. "Just have faith in yourself. And be yourself. Jason will love you for it."

"How can I be, when I don't even know who I am?" Liz murmured to herself.

"Then it's time to find out," Mitchie encouraged her. "Here, try this." She gave Liz a light blue dress to put on. It was a little loose on Liz, but it was good enough. Then Mitchie put Liz's hair in curlers, then applied some blush and mascara to Liz's face.

Once Mitchie took the curlers out, Liz couldn't believe what she saw in the mirror. "Is that...me?"

"Yeah, that's really you," Mitchie smiled, as she saw Liz's amazement. "You look awesome!"

"Thank you, Mitchie," Liz said, tears coming to her eyes. "No one's ever done anything like this for me."

"Don't cry," Mitchie said. "You're going to ruin your mascara."

The girls laughed together, and Liz grew quiet. "You're a good friend, Mitchie. Thank you."

"You don't have to thank me," Mitchie blushed. "I'm happy I met you. And you can always ask me for advice, or hang out with me anytime, no matter what Shane says. That's what friends do."

"It's time," Liz said nervously, glancing at her watch.

"Time to go," Mitchie said. "You OK?"

"I will be…" Liz gulped. "Once it's over…"

"Don't worry so much," Mitchie said. "It'll be OK. If all else fails, talk about birds. Jason loves them."

"I know," Liz said, laughing nervously. "How do I look again?"

"You look great," Mitchie said. "Just stop worrying, and you'll be fine."

"I hope so," Liz worried even more.

The girls made their way toward the place Caitlyn said they were having dinner.

"Oh no…" Liz said, noticing Jason wasn't there. "Jason's not here…"

"Yet…" Nate ran in, his cell phone in hand. "He just called, says he's running late, and he told me to tell you not to start without him."

"So he's coming?" Liz asked, her nerves already frazzled.

"He says he's on his way, and don't fly away," Nate shook his head, then put his ear back to the receiver. "Yes, Jason, I just told her. No, I won't tell her that. Tell her yourself."

"Fine, I will," Jason said, stepping out in a black tux and bowtie. He held out a bouquet of flowers. "These are for you."

"Jason, they're beautiful," Liz blushed, putting them in the center of the table. "What kinds of flowers are these? I've never seen them before."

"They're birds of paradise. My favorite flower," Jason said. "What's yours?"

"Now that I think about it, I'd say…mine are birds of paradise too," Liz murmured absently, gazing at the flowers, and then back at Jason. Her heart did a little flip, then resumed beating fast.

"Aww," Caitlyn said, her eyes tearing up. "Aren't they the cutest…"

"Shh!" Nate commanded.

"What did you say?" Caitlyn hissed. "Are you trying to shh me? Don't even think about…"

"Relax, Gellar," Shane smirked. "I think we should leave them alone…"

"For now, anyway," Mitchie added. She motioned for Nate to serve their meal.

AN: Should I go on? Please review if you want me to continue.
