Mitchie's P.O.V.:

I was so excited that Brown didn't fall for Tess' games. I can't believe- well actually I can believe she did that. I turned to Caitlyn and saw her smiling just as big as me. We hugged and jumped up and down in celebration. We were really scared we wouldn't be able to participate in the one thing we've been getting ready for all of camp.

"I'm going to go thank them," I told her as I removed my apron.

I made my way towards Shane's cabin and knocked. Nate answered.

"Hey Mitchie," he greeted.

"Hey Nate," he moved aside and I entered going for a chair by the door.

"Did Uncle Brown come and talk to you guys? He told us about what happened. Why'd Tess think you took her bracelet?" he asked.

"Yeah he came to talk to us and we're back in Final Jam. Tess knew we didn't take her bracelet she was just trying to get us into trouble. I'd tell on her too, if I had proof. She doesn't like me or Caitlyn; us stealing her bracelet would be just the thing to get us kicked out, which she'd love." I explained.

"Hm, that's really petty," he said.

"I know, but it's Tess. Anyways, I just came to say thanks. You guys really saved us," I said getting up.

"No problem," he said, giving me a hug that I returned.

Just as we separated, Jason and Shane came in.

"Hey Mitchie," they both greeted.

"Hey guys." I said.

"So is everything alright? Uncle Brown told us what happened." Said Shane.

"Yeah it's fine. Thanks for sticking up for us. We get to stay in Final Jam now."

"Great, I can't wait to hear what you sing. Is it about birds?" asked Jason, looking hopeful.

Shane slapped him upside the head. "No one is singing about birds! That's the ninth time you've asked that question!"

"Okay, there's no need for the abuse," I said to Shane. "Thanks and I don't know what we're going to sing yet, but I don't think it'll be about birds." I told Jason laughing.

"I gotta go and finish helping set up for dinner, but I'll see you guys later." I told them, leaving.

"See you later Mitch." Called Nate and I turned and waved.

Shane's P.O.V.:

"What was the about?" I asked turning on Nate as soon as Mitchie was out of sight.

"What was what about?" he asked going over to his guitar, on it stand.

"We saw that hug," Jason put in.

"And that look. You like Mitchie." I said with a smirk my little brother has a crush! I'm so going to milk this! I thought laughing.

"Of course I like her, she cool. You like her too," he said.

"No," said Jason, stretching out the word and shaking his head. "You like-like her."

"'Like-like'? How old are you?" asked Nate.
