Summary:

Years ago, siblings Mitchie and Jason Greene were sent to an orphanage following the tragic death of their parents. Their lives weren't perfect but they still had each other. At least until Mitchie is moved to a new foster home due to an accident while Jason was away at Camp. Could a certain jerky pop-star be the key to reuniting the long lost duo? Smitchie/Naitlyn.

So I guess without further ado, I present Finding Home.

"Will Jason and Mitchie Greene please report to Miss Schuler's office." The intercom buzzed and all of the children oohed at the two, assuming they were in trouble.

Thirteen year old Jason Green grabbed his nine year old sister's hand as they rose from the table they had been occupying and began walking toward the office. "Jason, are we in trouble?" Mitchie asked. Jason put his arm around her in reassurance.

"No, we haven't done anything wrong, I don't see how we could be in trouble. C'mon don't worry about it, it will be okay because I'll always be here to protect you, remember?"

He tickled the girl's sides and she laughed, "J-jase! Stop!"

"What's the magic word?" He said in a sing-songy voice and continued to tickle her. In between laughs she managed to gasp "P-puh-please!"

He grinned, "Well, since you asked nicely." He stopped at last, still grinning at his sister. She was gasping trying to get her breathing back to normal. She finally calmed down as the approached the office door and Jason knocked firmly.

"Come in!" Called a cheery voice from behind the large wooden door. Jason opened the door, letting Mitchie enter first. Jason shut the door behind them and they approached the large desk.

Miss Schuler is the woman in charge of Happy Hearts Orphanage where Mitchie and Jason have lived for the past few years. She had greying medium length hair that she kept pulled back into a tight bun, with small half-moon shaped glassed perched on the end of her nose. She looked the part of a strict librarian, but she had been nothing but nice to the pair since their arrival years ago.

Three years prior, the Greene family spent a wonderful day at Lake Kegonsa State Park in Wisconsin. They swam, played ball and had a picnic and just enjoyed time together as a family. Soon, however a thunderstorm began rolling in so they decided it would be best to head home.

They hopped in the car and were laughing, discussing the fort they planned to build when they got home and debating over which movie they should watch. Mitchie and Jason were adamant that whichever movie was selected, it had to have good music.

Suddenly, another car came around a curve too fast and veered into the Greene's lane, before anyone even had the chance to react the cars collided with a sickening CRUNCH! They didn't find out until later, but Mr. and Mrs. Greene were both killed on impact. Jason had suffered a pretty hard knock to the head, and both he and Mitchie suffered from lots of scrapes and bruises. After the initial sound of the collision died down all that could be heard was the sound of the rolling thunder, the falling rain, and little Mitchie Greene crying for her parents and brother, but no one answered her.

It wasn't long before police and paramedics came and removed Mitchie and Jason from the car, rushing them to the ambulance and from there to the hospital. Mitchie could barely remember what happened. She just remembered that they kept asking who she was and all she wanted was for her family to wake up. She curled up to Jason's side on the bed and cried the whole way.

~CR~~CR~~CR~~CR~~CR~~CR~

About a week and a half later, Mitchie and Jason were released from the hospital into the care of Happy Hearts Orphanage as the had no living family remaining. They were able to claim their most treasured possessions from their old home, but were told to pack lightly. They each grabbed some clothing and their guitars, along with a few family photos.

Upon their arrival to the orphanage Miss Schuler introduced herself and showed them to their rooms, separated by gender. Jason was rooming with three other boys his own age, but because the orphanage was so small, Mitchie had to room with three girls much older than her. They were all over ten while she was only five.

Mitchie set to unpacking on the empty lower bunk in the room, fighting back the tears that threatened to spill over.

One of the girls, a thirteen year old named April sneered at her. "Hey look girls, the little baby is crying already!" She laughed and addressed Mitchie, "Kid if you're gonna make it around here you'd better toughen up fast!" She threatened. Mitchie's eyes went wide and she nodded, terrified of the other girls.

Soon enough bedtime came for Mitchie. She was sent to sleep before the other girls because of her age. "Ugh. I can't believe we have to keep quiet just because we got stuck with a whiny little brat!" April's hushed voice echoed across the room.

"I know, it's so unfair! We didn't ask for her to be in here!" One of the other girls, a fourteen year old named Kayla, said. The other girl, another thirteen year old named Hallie just huffed in annoyance.

~CR~~CR~~CR~~CR~~CR~~CR~

Later that night Mitchie started to have her now usual nightmare from the accident. Her whimpering woke the other girls in the room up. "Oh come on!" April groaned. She tried to put her pillow over her head to block the noise but it barely dampened the sound. With a grunt the girl sat up, as did Kayla and Hallie. April hopped down from the bunk above Mitchie and roughly shook the younger girl, "Hey brat! Shut up!"

What she didn't expect was for Mitchie to sit up and start screaming her head off. The others all clamped their hands over their ears as April tried to cover Mitchie mouth and shut her up. "I said shut up! Do you want to wake up the whole place?!"

She shook her more. But Mitchie just kept screaming one name, "JASON!"

Not even a minute later Jason burst into the bedroom and saw April shaking his baby sister and he saw red. He shoved the older girl off of her and held her close to him, rubbing soothing circles on her back as she began sobbing.

Before long Miss Schuler came into the room and beckoned for Jason and Mitchie to follow her. Mitchie clung to her brother the entire way, once they were in her office they all sat down and she gave Mitchie some warm milk to calm her down. Once the two were calm, she asked them to expalin what had happened.

Mitchie told her everything the older girls had said and done and at the end Jason explained what he had seen when he walked in.

Miss Schuler just nodded and started going through some files in her desk. About 5 minutes later while the two children felt as if they were waiting on pins and needles, she turned back to them. "I don't normally allow this, but sometimes there are special circumstances... There is a smaller bedroom with only one set of bunks that we can move the both of you into for the duration of your stay here. Would that be acceptable to you both?"

Mitchie broke out into a huge grin and nodded her head fervently. Jason grinned and nodded as well, and added as an after thought, "Yes ma'am, thank you very much!"

She sent the two of them to gather their things once more and report back to her and she would show them to their new bedroom.

Three years have passed and they still share a room and are as close as could be. Many couple had been interested in adopting one or the other over that time but they refused to go without each other. To this day Mitchie still had problems with bullying from the other girls in the orphanage. At first it was because she was the newbie and so emotional. But as time went on the other girls also grew jealous of her closeness to her brother and that she hogged his time. He had become quite popular with everyone in the orphanage due to his looks and laid back nature.

They would spend most of their time together playing games, talking, laughing, and playing their music. Jason had taught his sister everything he knew and it was just one more thing for them to bond over. Jason continued to learn all that he could about music though, which is why the reasoning for their being called to the office came as no huge surprise.

~CR~~CR~~CR~~CR~~CR~~CR~

"Have a seat." Miss Schuler said, smiling. They did and she gave them each a piece of chocolate, letting them relax knowing they weren't in any sort of trouble. "The reason I asked you to see me is because it seems that Jason here," she glanced his way, "has been offered a full scholarship to Camp Rock this summer!" She grinned, she knew how much music meant to the pair.

Mitchie butted in, "That's amazing Jase!" She jumped up and hugged her brother.

Miss Schuler cleared her throat and Mitchie smiled sheepishly as she returned to her seat and let Miss Schuler continue. "I'm sorry to say though that Mitchie will not be able to go with you."

Jason frowned. "They wouldn't give her a scholarship too? But she is just as good as I am! If not better!"

"Jason, calm down please. The camp director said he would love to have Mitchie join you, but she is just too young to go. You have to be at least ten, and if he made an exception for Mitchie, he would have to make an exception for everyone, I'm sorry. If you two want to talk about it you have until the end of the week to let me know so I can accept or decline."

Jason nodded but said, "Thank you Miss Schuler but could you tell them no for me?" He then stood up to leave the office, but Mitchie spoke up.

"Jase! What do you mean tell them no, you have to go!" she objected,

Jason turned to his sister sadly, "But Mitch, I can't leave you here all alone. I'll just have to wait another two years until you are old enough to go too." He smiled weakly.

But Mitchie wasn't about to let the conversation end there. "But Jase! You may never get this chance again! You have to go! I'll be okay for one summer Jasey. Please go, for me? I would never forgive myself if you didn't go because of me! Besides, what's the worst that could happen?"

Jason sighed, he knew she was right. He turned back to Miss Schuler who had been watching with interest. "Okay, I guess my mind has been changed. Could you please tell them that I will be there?"

Miss Schuler smiled softly at him, "Of course Jason. You will leave in two weeks."

He nodded and thanked her before he and Mitchie returned to their room.

~CR~~CR~~CR~~CR~~CR~~CR~

Those two weeks flew by, and before they knew it, it was time for Jason to leave. Mitchie ran into her brother's arms. "Promise you'll write me and that you won't forget me?" She cried.

He hugged her tightly and kissed her head. "I'll never forget you my Mitchie and I'll write to you every day! I'll miss you so much."

"I'll miss you too! I love you Jasey!"

The two separated, "I love you too Mitch, I'll be back before you know it, I promise!"

And with that he stepped on to the waiting bus and took his seat. Mitchie watched as the bus grew smaller and smaller until suddenly, it was gone.
