Hi, guys! Sorry for not writing for so long, but I had a pile of schoolwork to do. Anyways, this is a Camp Rock Digimon-style fic that I came up with after watching the movie for the thousandth time.I hope you enjoy it! Disclaimer: I only own my Ocs!
"Sapphire, up!" Tanya Hamato commanded as she stepped through the piles of books, papers, and CDs on her sixteen-year old daughter's bedroom floor.
"Last day of school!" she clapped her hands cheerfully before disappearing down the hall.
In the bed, Sapphire stirred and groaned. Her hand shot out from under the covers and grabbed a CD labeled 'Sapphire's Tunes' from the nightstand. Without looking, Sapphire popped the disc into the CD player and pushed Play. Instantly, the chords of a pop song filled the room. It featured vocals by none other than Sapphire Hamato herself.
As the beat intensified, Sapphire threw off her covers and jumped out of bed. She pulled her long, blue and orange-streaked black hair back, and singing the words she knew by heart, she opened her closet and peered in. What to wear? The jean mini skirt? She held it up to her hips. Nope. The skirt was looking a little too mini. Shorts? Nope. Same problem.
Pants, she thought. Grabbing a pair of capris from a hanger, she tried them on. Better, but not perfect. Then she spied leggings, and inspiration flared. A pair of leggings, and an oversized T-shirt belted at the waist-the perfect, not-too-dressy, last-day-of-school outfit. In the middle of tossing a short blue scarf around her neck,
Sapphire was hit with an idea.
She hurried from her closet to her desk, where she grabbed a journal. On the front, in bold letters, was written 'Sapphire's Songs'. She furiously scribbled some lyrics on a blank page. Satisfied with the new verses, Sapphire smiled, put the journal away, and continued dancing out of her room, down the hall, and into the kitchen, where her mother had set out breakfast. Sapphire plopped down between her older brother Yoshi and her little sister Karai at the kitchen table and began to scarf down am omelet. On the TV, an entertainment show discussed the most recent antics of Yamato 'Matt' Ishida-musician and hottie.
"The rock star phenomenon, Yamato, "Matt" Ishida," the reporter intoned, "may have gone too far this time when he stormed off the set of his new video after someone gave him a normal base electric guitar instead of his legendary ''Gabumon" 360 charged base guitar. This final stunt cost his label thousands of dollars, but may cost him his record deal."
Sapphire sighed. Matt Ishida had everything. Why would he want to ruin it?
"The message is clear," the reporter went on. "He needs to clean up his act. And to give him time to do it, the Teenage Wolves summer tour has been cancled."
The report was almost over when Sapphire's mother sat doen in the seat accross from her.
"Would you look at what I found in the crisper," Tanya said, tossing a colorful, glossy booklet onto the table. "A Camp Rock brochure. Or should I say, another Camp Rock brochure?" she added.
"Hmm, would you look at that!" Sapphire said, faking suprise as her siblings snickered before getting up and leaving for school. Sapphire shoveled another forkload of omelet into her mouth. So maybe the hints she'd been dropping about going to Camp Rock hadn't been as subtle as she thought. But if she got in, her dreams could come true.
"So, you have no knowledge of how this brochure got into the refrigerator?" her mother asked. "Or the one taped to the computer moniter?" Sapphire shrugged.
"Sweetie," Tanya continued, "I know you want to go to this camp, but we just can't swing it right now with Dad, Yoshi, and your uncles expanding the dojo and my catering business just taking off, and. . .I'm sorry," she said gently. Sapphire's mood deflated. Deep down she had figured Camp Rock was out of the question, but a girl could hope. . . .
"I know," she said, standing to take her empty plate to the sink. "Well, gotta go. Last day of school. Don't want to be late."
The halls were abuzz with last-day-of-school energy. Students were joking with each other as they joyfully dumped old notebooks, tests, and quizzes into the overflowing garbage bags. Sapphire opened her locker to find a year's worth of clutter-crumpled papers, worn-out pencils, leaky pens, and textbooks-jammed in at odd angles. She sighed and began throwing various items into the trash. A Camp Rock brocure caught her eye. She sighed and tossed it into the trash, too.
She was still cleaning a few minutes later when Renee, a lanky girl with purple-streaked hair and glasses, walked up and opened the locker next to Sapphire's. Renee was Sapphire's cousin and best friend-among her only friends, all of which were her cousins and siblings.
"Let me be the first to say xin xia ji!" Renee exclaimed, acknowledging summer's arrival. "Guess who got an A-plus in AP Mandarin? Me. Again!" Renee screamed excitedly, but Sapphire didn't feel like joining in the celebration of her friend's achievement just now. She was too distracted by a group of popular girls floating down the hall.
"Ugh," Renee groaned. "The Queen Bees are here. If we don't move, they won't sting." She rolled her eyes, but Sapphire watched the girls enviously.
"Don't you ever wonder what it would be like to be one of them?" Sapphire asked. Renee gave her friend a suspicious look.
"Are you feeling feverish?" She jokingly put her hand on Sapphire's forehead. "So," she said, changing the subject, "how'd it go this morning?"
"It didn't," Sapphire said dejectedly. "Camp Rock is a no-go."
"But you have to go! Camp Rock is, like, the music camp. Everybody who wants to be somebody in music-" Renee stopped when she saw the unhappy look on Sapphire's face.
"-All of which you already know. Sorry."
Sapphire swept the remaining junk from her locker into the trash and closed the door one last time.
"Me, too. I was so excited to go and have a summer that's all about music."
Renee closed her own locker and put a hand consolingly on Sapphire's shoulder. Then she asked the only thing she could.
"So, what are you going to do this summer?"
Alright, that's the 1st chapter. I know it's not the most exciting start, but at least it's a start. Read and review! No flames, please!
