Hello all! Here is the interview! Hope you guys will enjoy it.

Chapter 27:

"Welcome everyone to The Celebrity Gossip Show!" A loud round of applauses and cheers filled the air as Irma yelled that sentence.

"Alright everyone, settle down! Make yourselves comfy!" Irma gestured with her hands to the audience as the studio turned silent.

The 6 teens were on the couch, watching as Irma did the usual introductions at the opening of the show.

"Our 1st guests... Are a very popular band. They sold zillions of cds world wide and they are currently on tour... The 3 of them have been on the show before and we are happy to announce that Connect 3 is with us today!" Irma shouted as a picture of Connect 3 appeared on the screen. The audience cheered loudly, as squealing fans lifted up posters and banners.

"Get ready Connect 3." A guy holding a clipboard approached them and informed them.

Shane, Nate and Jason stood up, preparing to go, giving their significant other kisses. "See you in a moment, alright love?" Shane whispered, hugging her. Mitchie nodded, returning the hug, beaming. "Good luck." She murmured.

Shane just flashed his famous grin at her.

"Please welcome, THE CONNECT 3!"

The guys walked onto the stage, as the girls in the audience cheered like crazy, definitely louder than the 1st time. Shane, Nate and Jason stepped onto the stage, waving to the viewers and shaking hands with fans. "Hi!" They said, hugging Irma in turn, just for the camera. They exchanged greetings before sitting down on a long red couch that could fit 6 people.

Irma: It is nice to see you on our show again!

Nate: It is great to be back here Irma. (Grins)

Irma: So guys, how is your tour coming along?

Shane: Oh, it is going amazing. Thanks for asking. We will be performing one last time this Saturday at the concert hall in the nearby town, before moving on.

Irma: Oh, I see. So you guys wrote a new song right? Burnin Up if I am not mistaken. We have seen your performing it before. What inspired you guys to write it?

Jason: Yup, the song is Burnin Up alright. We actually wrote it for our girlfriends, Ella, Caitlyn and Mitchie. They heard it 1st hand though; we performed it for them during Christmas break.

Irma: Aww, that is nice to hear. Will you publish it? From what I have heard, the fans like it.

Connect 3: (Shared a look.)

Shane: We don't know really. But we will consider it though.

Irma: Speaking of your girlfriends...How are they? All 3 of them are at their last year at Alfea College right?

(A/N: Irma had their permission to say some of the personal info.)

Connect 3: Yup.

Jason: They are just... amazing. We love them don't we guys?

Nate and Shane: Love them very much.

Shane: In fact, they are here with us today.

Irma: Oh, really? Well, let's welcome Mitchie, Caitlyn and Ella up to the stage shall we? (Claps and cheers along.)

The Connect 3 turned around as a spotlight shone on their significant other as they walked out from backstage, smiling shyly and waving. The audience cheered for them as some fan girls clapped, while others sulked upon seeing Connect 3's significant other.

They sat on the couch in this order from left to right: Jason, Ella, Caitlyn, Nate, Mitchie, Shane.

Irma: First of all girls, welcome to the show.

Caitlyn: Thank You Irma! It is a pleasure to be here!

Irma: (Laughs) You girls do look lovely today.

Ella, Mitchie, Caitlyn: Thanks!

Irma: Right, let's get to the point shall we?

Irma push a button on a remote control beside her, and the screen changed, playing the scene that occurred after the concert a few days ago. Shane gave Mitchie's hand a soft squeeze and smiled at her, letting her know he was with her through this. Mitchie simply nodded at him, a grateful look planted on her face.

"All of us are wondering Shane and Mitchie, are you engaged?" The audience leaned forward, eager to hear the couple's answer.

"Before we confirm anything with you guys, I just want to let all of you know; I am not, repeat, NOT with Emily Osment, I love Mitchie with all my heart and don't regret knowing her." Shane announced, looking at his fiancée lovingly. Some people awed at his statement.

Irma: Then why did you kiss Emily than?

"She was just following a person's orders and I didn't kiss her back." Shane defended. The other 2 members of Connect 3 nodded their heads, verifying Shane's previous statement.

Irma: Whose orders was she following?

At this point, all 5 pairs of eyes turned to Mitchie, wondering if she wanted to announce who did it. Mitchie sighed, thinking for a moment. True, Lindsay did cause all this mess, and this was the perfect time to get back at her…But then again, she knew she would be just following in her footsteps and embarrassed Lindsay if she told Irma who did it. And Mitchie understood how humiliated Lindsay would feel; as she thought about the incident at Camp Rock a few years back.

"I'm sorry, but that is confidential information. We will not reveal the person's identity just yet." Mitchie replied, not regretting her words one bit.

"Alright then. So, Mitchie, Shane. Let's not beat about the bush any longer; are you two engaged?"

Instead of replying, Mitchie lifted up her hand. On her finger, the ring shone brightly against the light. Mitchie smiled and nodded at Irma, leaning against her fiancé's shoulder, as happy as a lark.

"Yes Irma, we are engaged." Shane confirmed, wrapping his arms around Mitchie's waist. At this point, everyone in the studio applauded loudly, as a way of saying congrats.

"Congratulations you two!" Irma grinned at the happy couple. Their friends cheered as well. Irma turned towards the audience. "Well folks, you heard it first on The Cebrity Gossip Show, Shane is officially off the market, engaged to Mitchie Torres!" She cried out.

More roaring rang out, although some fan looked a tad disappointed. Once the excitement died down, Irma than focused her attention on the other two couples sitting before her.

"So Nate, Jason, are you engaged to Caitlyn and Ella too?" She inquired a twinkle in her green eyes. "Sorry to dishearten you Irma, but we are not engaged, all 4 of us. But we still love one another, a lot." Nate answered, grinning at Caitlyn. Ella and Jason agreed to that statement.

"Well then. What do you guys think about Shane and Mitchie's engagement?"

Ella: They totally belong together.

Caitlyn: Shane and Mitchie got chemistry and they certainly love and respect each other. Their arguments don't last for more than one or 2 days!

Jason: Ditto.

Nate: I have to agree with them both. They are made for each other. You can tell by the looks they give one another sometimes. It is scary; especially when they have a silent conversation with their eyes. (Shudders visibly.)

Mitchie swatted Nate on the arm playfully. "Watch your words Black." She scolded, her eyes sparkling. Nate rubbed his arm, mocking hurt. "I'm wounded Torres." He teased back, grinning at her. Mitchie simply shook her head in disbelief.

Mitchie looked over him and her eyes met Caitlyn's. "I can see why you love him Cait. He is keeper." She told her best friend. "But….. I'll take Shane anyway." She hugged Shane and buried her head in the crook of his neck. Caitlyn blushed slightly, while Nate just interlocked fingers with her.

Ella and Jason laughed silently, watching the 4.

Irma observed them in amusement, as they made fun of one another.

Irma: Mitchie, don't you think you are too young to be married. No offence, but you are only 18 right?

Mitchie: That was what I asked Shane when he proposed. But we are going to wait until I turn 20 before we get married.

Irma: Oh, I see. Well, it is nice to see you all. And congrats again Shane, Mitchie.

The 6 teens stood up and shook hands with Irma once more, and thanked her before making their way off the stage.

Once they were backstage, Shane kissed Mitchie. "It is over now….." He murmured. The other 4 hugged as well, glad that it was over. "I know Shane, no more hiding…"

Mitchie was just glad, though she dreaded to return to Alfea, where she was sure to be confronted by many school mates and friends. When she expressed her concern to her 2 friends, they sighed, obviously not looking forward to it as well. "Don't forget Lindsay." Caitlyn added bitterly.

Review please people? I would like to know what you think. Maybe around 2 more chapters than a short epilogue more; so bare with me okay?
