A/N: And now for something different…
I've been saying I'd upload this story for a few days and now that I've finished one of the others I can upload it.
Now if this chapter doesn't go down very well then I probably won't continue with it. So read and review and tell me if I've got anything good

Fifteen for a Moment
Chapter One
Maggie Mae Valentine
"I can't believe that they actually let you graduate university after all that buggering about and worrying…"
Miley snorted, "I can't believe that someone actually agreed to have a meeting about your movie script…"
Maggie hit her absent-mindedly on the arm and shook her head. They were lying on Maggie's bed at her mother's home trying to get to sleep after their busy day. The only problem for them being that today had been one of the most important days of their lives and they couldn't believe that they had actually finally made it and done everything that they wanted to do… If only they had somewhere to live and didn't have to keep sharing Maggie's bed for the unseen future they would have been on cloud nine. Right now, they were simply on a lumpy mattress. It was a good thing that they were too excited to sleep. The weeks and days coming were going to be some of the most exciting ones of their lives and there was a lot to think about.
"How does it feel being an actual university graduate?" Maggie asked with a yawn.
Miley laughed, "I don't know… kind of like being a university student only with a few more initials and a lot less work."
Maggie nodded, "That's actually pretty much what it is… apart from you have to find a job and you have to earn loads of money…" she paused and looked around at her with a grin, "Oh wait… you already have loads of money…"
"Har Har…" Miley rolled her eyes, "Four years and its only now that you start pulling jokes about my former life…"
Maggie smiled and nodded, "Pretty much…" she shrugged, "The money part is the only part of your former life that I actually know about… What else am I going to joke about?"
It was true that since they had met four years ago give or take a few months; Maggie Mae Valentine had never actually known the extent to her roommate's former life as a celebrity. Her mother was a British Private school teacher and all they watched was the discovery channel. Her father was a movie buff, just like she was, and they spent their lives watching movies instead of the news. They didn't read any magazine only the more intellectual newspapers that didn't have anything about celebrities in them. The internet was only used for things that they had wanted to know about. The only people, according to Maggie, that knew who she was had been her two older brothers and her nieces who had been obsessed with her television show. They however, knew nothing about her except her show and that was it. Thank goodness.
Miley had arrived in London a few suitcases in her hands and wearing all her designer clothes. She had entered her dorm with her two thousand pounds a month allowance and a hope of a fresh start away from the spotlight. Instead she had been faced with the laughing and joking of her fellow dorm mates who had made fun of her and sung "Best of Both" worlds at the top of their lungs. That night had been the worst of her life as people repeatedly walked past her room making fun of her.
She lasted a week in that hell hole until she saw one of the older students place a notice on the entry way of her dorm. It was for a room in her Notting Hill flat and she had called the number on the piece of paper in seconds.
She had won Maggie over with lunch and her movie knowledge. Miley had been won over by Maggie as soon as she asked her if she knew who she was. Maggie of course, didn't have a clue, and there and then Miley knew that it was the start of a beautiful friendship and a fresh new start that she had wanted. She moved in that day and they were instantly friends.
Maggie was two years older than Miley and she was a film student. Maggie never saw the people who teased her and Miley was glad of it. After a few months they got bored and left her to her business. Miley got on with her work and handed in her assignments. She wasn't used to normal school and it was strange. She worried a lot and Maggie was her life saver after a whole lifetime of a school teacher mother and expensive private schooling that she had never actually wanted.
Miley had decided a few months ago, when she was sure that it would soon be time to part ways and go on their separate courses that she would tell Maggie about her past life and who she had really been. Maggie had been wonderful and hadn't wanted to know who she had been. She just wanted to know she was. But it was time to stop pretending now, and now that Maggie was going to get her green light for her film and move to America, she knew that she had to tell her the truth.
"I was in a movie you know…?" she mumbled playing with her hair, "It made over fifty million dollars at the box office…"
Maggie nodded, "I know… two movies… both some of the biggest selling movies of their time…" she sighed and Miley looked around at her in shock, "And then there was the three number one albums each two to four times platinum in multiple different countries around the world… and a Grammy nomination…"
"What…?"
Miley looked at her shocked and shook her head sitting up. She was positively murderous. All this time and Maggie had known about her? She had been living with her for four years and she'd been telling her that all she knew was her name and her family's names and that was it. She was such a liar.
"You seriously didn't believe that after all this time I still knew nothing about you Miles, did you?" Maggie shook her head, "Still the ever naïve little monkey aren't we?"
Miley laughed and shook her head not being able to believe what the heck was going on, "Who the heck told you?"
"Robert and Henry…" she sighed fluffing up her pillows, "They sat me down and told me about six months after I met you…"
Of course… Robert and Henry… They were those nasty brothers of hers… the ones that constantly teased her and asked her about her fortune. The ones who always asked her to sing them a song when Maggie wasn't in the room and whose daughters had slowly come to be embarrassed that their once hero was now nothing but a dirty university student in London. They were the two most annoying men she had ever met that she wondered daily how the heck they had both found women who would marry them. It was bizarre.
"And you didn't think to mention it?"
Maggie sat up and shrugged her shoulders, "I thought we'd always end up talking about it for four years and it would bore me solid…" Miley gawped at her still ever golden honesty, "and of course the fact that you didn't want me to know played a large part in it…" she smiled, "But now it's okay because I have a favour to ask of you my little American wonder…"
Miley shook her head with a smile and looked over at her rather sneaky strange friend who she was still always grateful to have, "And what is that my little English Weirdo?"
Maggie clasped her hands in her lap, "That if I get this green light for my film, you play the lead role and prove to those critics who doubted you five years ago that you actually can still achieve your dreams… no matter what happened last time…"
Miley looked at her confused. She had no idea what happened last time. She had no clue at all… no one did…
