AN: Well, this is a new side project that I have in mind. I hope that you will enjoy it as much as I did writing it.

Chapter One: Many Friendly Conversations

Michael Harris sat in his cousin's Christian room, watching Christian play his XBOX 360. Michael told him that he had something on his mind that is worth his ear. He had to tell Christian because he is the only one, and that being in the same family of his that would give him a neutral answer, and opinion. Christian said that he wanted to hear what he had on his mind, but before Michael could tell him anything, Christian started up the video game console, and started playing, which frustrated the hell out of Michael, because what he had to say was really important. Christian sensed this. He paused the game that he was playing, and decided to see what was going on, or what was bothering his cousin.

"Dude, what is it?" Christian asked his cousin.

"Can you please turn off the game and listen to me?" Michael asked Christian once more. Christian slid off the bed that he was sitting on while playing the game, crossed the room, and shut off the system. Then he returned to the bed, and looked at his cousin.

"Okay, my friend, what is on your mind?" Christian asked him. Michael took a really deep breath before speaking.

"Man, Christian. Where do I begin?" Michael stated. He got up from the chair that he was sitting in, and began to walk around the room, almost as if he was a caged lion.

"Just let it come from the heart." Christian stated. Michael nodded his head, and began to find the words as he spoke once more.

"I have been with Miley for about a couple of years now, and I think that we are ready to take the next step." Michael said quickly.

"Okay, I assume that you are talking to me because this is going to be really important." Christian answered.

"Yeah, it is." Michael answered. "Look, I don't know how much time I have left, so I really need to know how she feels about me. The thing is, I am so scared that she is going to turn me down."

"You know that she really loves you, so what is the problem?" Christian asked him.

"What if she does not feel the same way after all of this time?" Michael asked sadly. "What if she is just with me for alterior motives for being with me?"

"If she does, then it will be like me and Sonny." Christian said. "You will find out what she really is, and you will kick her to the curb like a bad habit. If it is for real, then that is the woman that you should spend the rest of your life with."

"Are you sure?" Michael said.

"No, but that is something that you should bring up with Miley, not me." Christian smiled.

A subtle vibration interrupted the conversation between Michael and Christian. Michael reached into his pocket, and pulled out his cell phone. He pressed the screen, and pulled up a message that was sent to him.

"Miley wants to talk to me." Michael answered. Christian noticed a concerned look on his face as Michael stared into his phone.

"What does she want to talk to you about?" Christian asked him.

"Beats me. It is important, as she says in the text." Michael told him.

"Okay, go and talk to her." Christian said.

"What am I going to tell to her?" Michael asked him.

"What the hell we have been talking about for the past few minutes." Christian all but screamed at him. "Go talk to her."

"Fine, I'll go and talk to her." Michael said, heading for the door. "Wish me luck."

"Good luck, you will need it, my dear cousin." Christian said as Michael left the home.

As Michael was traveling back to his apartment, he wondered what Miley wanted to talk to him about. He was really nervous as to what he was going to say to her, and what she really wanted to talk about with him. So, before he even entered, he sat in his truck for a few minutes before he even decided on what he was going to do and say before he even entered the home. Well, after a few minutes of sitting in the truck, Michael exited the truck, and went inside, to face his girlfriend, who had some very important news of her own to tell him, and it was going to change everything.

Michael slowly entered the home, and quietly locked the front door. He sat his keys down, and walked towards the bedroom. He was taking his time, knowing that he really had to think about what he was going to tell her once they got face to face, and he wanted to brace himself for whatever she had to tell him.

"Michael? I am back here." Miley called. Michael took a deep breath, and opened the bedroom door, and was brought over to the bed by Miley. She sat him on the bed, and looked right into his eyes.

"Michael, I have something very important to tell you." Miley said silent to him.

"What is it?" Michael asked her as he was trying to disguise his voice to be a plain as possible. She stood up and began to walk around the room. She did so for a few minutes before she turned to face them.

"I got a call from Paramount Studios, and they want me to go and do a movie for them." Miley said.

"Wow, that is good news. Congratulations!" Michael smiled, giving her a hug and kiss. Those feelings were genuine, but she knew that she had something else to say.

"Thanks, but I will not go if you don't want me to, and if you have something for me, I will stay." Miley said. Michael contemplated speaking up now, but this was big, and not worth taking away from her moment.

"No, you should go and do this. This is something that may never happen again for you." Michael said.

"Thanks." Miley said, giving him a kiss. She got up, and went into the other room. Michael just sat there, thinking that he had just dodged a fatal bullet. Of course, was this decision, or lack thereof in this instance, was that going to cause him some sort of trouble in the future?

AN: Okay, I hope that this is good enough for you faithful readers out there. The next chapter is going to be up soon, and Miley is going to have a big surprise for Michael. What is it? Stay tuned to see what else is going to happen!
