It's been too long, I'm so sorry. Have a cookie. :)

Caitlyn's POV:

I got home at past 10 p.m and saw Nate crashed out on the couch. Bending down, I gently kissed his lips, waking him. He placed a hand on my cheek and another over his mouth to stop himself from yawning. "Hey sweetie. I'm sorry I blew up at you before. I just needed some space." He brought my head down for a sweet kiss.

"It's ok. I kinda knew you needed space so I gave you time. After all that had happened recently." Nate smiled, sitting up.

"Thank you." I kissed him. "Let's go to bed." I stood up, pulling him with me as we went to our bedroom.

...

The next day, I hung out with Mitchie. I hadn't in ages. Plus, she was introducing me to Jason's new girlfriend, Mara. I pushed open the door to Starbucks and grinned when I spotted the familiar dyed pink hair. "Cait-Cat!" Mitchie squealed getting up and hugging me. I hugged her back.

"Mitchie-Moo!" I grinned. Mitchie stood aside and a woman our age with Chinese features and golden ginger hair smiled lightly at me.

"This is Mara Paves. Mara, this is Caitlyn Gellar." Mitchie introduced. I was surprised when Mara gave me a big bone crushing hug. She is dating Jason!

"Great to meet the genius behind the music!" Mara smiled.

"That's me! Great to meet the girl of our Jasey's dreams." I cooed. She blushed and rolled her eyes playfully. We sat down and Mitchie handed me a cup. I smelt it and grinned. "You know me well." I stated, taking a sip of my Cinnamon Caramel Latte.

"One sugar." Mitchie winked, taking a sip of her own beverage. We saw flashes outside and rolled our eyes. "God, we're associated with Connect 3 and the next minute, they're taking fucking pictures of us." Mitchie moaned, all of us covering our faces discretely.

"Correction," Mara started. "We're all dating members of Connect 3 and Mitchie, you're a superstar singer. Caitlyn, you're Connect 3's new music producer and I am theirs and Mitchie's back up bass guitar player. We're all pretty famous for our own reasons." She ended, drinking her Pumpkin Crush Smoothie.

"True that." I raised my cup a little and drank from it. There was a flash inside and we all turned to it. A little girl, about 7 years old, had a camera in her hand and she was alone. She looked scared and blackmailed.

I got up and went to her, bending to reach her eye level. "Hey sweetie. Who owns that camera?" I asked as Mara joined me.

"It's the guy outside's. He said he'll buy me a new bike if I took 'exclusive' pictures of you." She admitted. I had lost the plot. I gently took the girl's hand and Mitchie grabbed our drinks, following Mara and I out. I asked the little girl where her parents were and she pointed at a couple who looked scared and in distress. I took the girl up to them and they wore matching relieved faces as they hugged and thanked me for finding their daughter. I went and stood in front of the coffee shop, waiting for Mitchie to pull up.

Getting in, I closed the door behind me and Mitchie continued to drive. "Did you find her parents?" She asked, not looking back.

"Yeah. They looked so worried. Those paps did something illegal. That was downright kidnapping and abuse. They shouldn't have bribed a little kid. They stooped so low." I shook my head and Mara agreed with me as well as Mitch.

"At least that won't put a damper on our day." Mitchie smiled knowingly.

"Torres, what's up your sleeve?" I asked warily.

"You'll see." She said. I looked at Mara who wore matching horror and we both gulped. Whatever Michelle Torres had up her sleeve, at the end, someone will be embarrassed.

Nate's POV:

"I feel bad we're putting the girls through this." Shane said, turning off Celebrity Gossip. I nodded and continued to text Caitlyn. Smiling every time I got something funny or sweet. "Love sick." Shane gagged, going into the kitchen.

"Whatevs, dude." I shouted back. I got up and stretched. Jason came running into the living room.

"Mara's just texted me saying Mitchie is up to something!" He shouted. I showed him the matching text from Caitlyn. Shane came in and we both looked at him.

"What douches?" He asked. We went up to him and he backed away. He ran into the kitchen.

"Jason! Other door, quick!" Jason blocked the other entry/exit to the kitchen and I blocked the first one. Shane just stopped running and sat at the counter island slouching. "Dude, what's going on?" I asked.

"Mitchie's booked us all for a vacation to Australia but first, we're going clubbing today." Shane spilled. I tilted my head and shook it.

"Dude!" Jason said. "The media are already on all our asses!" He said.

"Wasn't my idea! It was my girlfriend's!" Shane defended himself. I nodded.

"I think it's what we all need. As long as we don't get too wasted." I said as they looked at me surprised.

"Then tell Mitchie it's a go." Jason said.

"Can't. Supposed to be a surprise remember." Shane said. We both nodded and acted like we weren't just told exciting news. "Well, the girls should be here in two hours so we have enough time." Shane said, getting up.

"For what?" I asked suspiciously.

"You'll see." Shane smirked. Jason and I just looked even more afraid.

What do you think Shane and Mitchie's idea is? Review! x
