LOST AND FOUND | A Camp Rock Story |

Chapter Twenty Three.

"Uncle Brown!" A younger Nate groaned at the camera hovering at his face on the TV screen.

Caitlyn was curled up on the sofa in Brown's cabin, with all her friends piled in around her as Brown played the old videos he used to record over summers past.

Pulling down the blinds and delving into the old footage was like jumping right back in time, blocking the current summer out.

And Caitlyn was faced with looking at the young boy who had stole her heart, with his big eyes and big curls in his hair.

"What? My nephews are talented, I have to record this for when you make it big." Brown's voice came through the TV screen.

"I never noticed how nervous Shane got before his performances." Sander commented as he grabbed another handful of popcorn.

"Look at how pale he's gone." Ella said, pointing at the TV.

"That was the performance before your big Final Jam right?" Brown asked.

"Looks like the one alright." Nate nodded.

The group watched the footage go on, showing all the contestants back stage.

"Woah, woah, woah, rewind!" Tess declared until Brown wound the tape back to the spot the camera panned and found Nate and Caitlyn involved in an intense discussion. "Oh you guys were so cute!"

"Is that when you two were planning on stealing my good bench huh?" Brown asked, his eyebrows raised.

"Wait, you knew about that?" Nate asked.

"Deny all knowledge Nate." Caitlyn laughed at him, covering his mouth momentarily with her hand from where she was sitting on the sofa and he was sitting at her feet. "We won't say another word until we have our lawyers." She told Brown, trying her best to keep a serious expression in place.

"No we took that bench years before. That was our last summer here as campers." Nate pointed at the screen. "Caitlyn was just giving me a pep talk right?" He turned to look up at her with eyes that she had tell herself not to get lost in, in the dark room.

"Probably." Caitlyn agreed. If she had been struggling with her self-confidence this summer and Nate was her number one fan, it was only because they had been through it already. Nate had needed her support as kids.

Sander made sure to take a video of the old footage when Connect Three's performance came on and sent it to the remaining members, mostly just to tease them about their hair styles.

"Make sure to tell them I expect them back before the end of the summer." Brown said.

"I've already started nagging them about it, but the more people that annoy them the better." Nate agreed.

Caitlyn loved the idea, she hadn't been at Camp with all the Gray boys since the year of the Camp Wars.

As Brown had little to no organisation on the old video tapes, they ended up watching parts of different summers all in different orders.

Old memories were played across the screen. The first summer Tess, Peggy and Ella started. Footage from the preparations for the Camp Wars performance. Peggy's winning performance at the Final Jam. Footage of many first days at Camp and tearful last days.

Eventually running out of time, and remembering they had classes to teach, Brown turned off the videos and let the real world back in. Not before producing an old video camera from somewhere to 'interview' everyone at the door.

"We're back baby!" Barron declared as he ducked out the door behind the rest of the visitors as Nate and Caitlyn cleared up the cabin.

"Well you two? How is this summer going eh?" Brown asked them, pointing the camera their way.
