Mitchie bit her bottom lip, nerves starting to take over while getting in the canoe with Shane. Shane held out his hand and helped her, trying his best to keep the boat steady for her. Shane noticed her chewing her bottom lip, and after helping her to sit down, he kneeled down carefully, his arms out awkwardly to balance himself. Once he was mostly steady, he picked up her hands from her lap and looked up at her. "Hey… Hey, look at me, Mitchie," He coaxed her, gently caressing her hands. Mitchie tried her best to look neutral but knew that she couldn't hide her feelings from Shane. He ran his right hand through her hair gently. "Everything's going to be alright, baby," He said comfortingly. He smiled gently at her and continued, "You know we've got the heart and soul that the other stars are missing. There's no way we'll lose."

Mitchie pulled her lip out from between her teeth and gave Shane a small and mediocre smile. "You're right… I know you're right…" She looked down at the water for a moment before returning her eyes to Shane again. "I'm just worried about what's going to happen if we don't win, you know?" She said, squeezing his left hand gently.

Shane gave a small chuckle before getting up slowly, leaning over to kiss the top of Mitchie's head before sitting down on the other end, grabbing the oars and making their way across the lake. "You can't worry about 'maybes' and 'what-ifs' right now, Mitchie. We just need to do our best and let the world see what we've got in us." He paused, taking a quick break from rowing. "We can't let our worries get to us right now, otherwise we've already lost," He added, knocking his foot against Mitchie's. "Aren't you the one who's always been so optimistic? When did our roles reverse?" He teased, going back to rowing.

Mitchie smirked and crinkled her nose at him. "I guess since you've taken over as hamburger maker in my place," She joked back at him. Shane shuddered and shook his head.

"Never want to make that many burgers ever again," He commented dryly. "Especially not with your mom being as grumpy as she was," He continued.

Mitchie couldn't help but to laugh. "Well try doing that and working at a burger joint. You'll never want a burger again, trust me."

Shane smiled at her, an amusing glint in his eyes. "I'm already almost at that point, but I think I'd like to try a burger from you work." He leaned in towards her and lowered his voice. "I bet it'd be made with extra love?" He questioned, laughter coming out quietly in his voice.

Mitchie rolled her eyes and lightly kick his shin. "You wish. I don't even make the burger; I'd just bring it out to you. And since I know what food allergies you have, you'd have the best experience, I guarantee."

Shane went back to his normal stance, smirking. "Well that just means I need to take a trip to Barney's after this summer, won't I?" He moved his eyes to the side, waiting for Mitchie to register what he said. Thankfully he didn't have to wait long.

Mitchie's eyes widened and her jaw dropped some before she could speak. "Are you… Are you saying what I think you're saying?" She asked slowly, trying not to get her hopes up.

Shane's smirk got bigger. "I do remember having a stop in your hometown and taking off some time," He said, looking back into Mitchie's eyes. "It's going to be later in the year, but at least it won't be another year before we see each other," He added, his smile softening some at seeing Mitchie's happily surprised face.

Mitchie wanted nothing more than to fling herself at Shane and hug him tightly, but she settled for wrapping her arms around herself while having the biggest grin on her face. "That sounds perfect," She breathed out.

Here's another chapter! This time it's right before they arrive to Camp Star for the Camp Warz (what a dumb title). I felt like Mitchie would be putting on a brave face for the others while deeply insecure inside. Of course, she can't hide anything from Shane.

I had another chapter written out but sadly, it's gone 9-9. I wrote it on my parents' spare laptop and uploaded it to here, but when I logged in and checked, it's not anywhere here. I really don't know where it could have ended up. And now I'm on a brand new laptop that my parents just bought so I could do my schoolwork (seriously we're not rich or anything, just my parents know how to shop bargains). THANKFULLY THOUGH my netbook that I broke is covered under warranty and is being fixed as we speak :D. And my parents said that when it comes back, they're officially giving it to me ^-^. Yaaaay~.

Anyways about that lost chapter.. I might try to see if I can re-write it tonight, but I know I'm going to be sad and unhappy with the finished product because I can never re-write a chapter the same as the first time ._.

Also, thank you Snowgirl01 for requesting more. I'm doing my best!
