Lilly Truscott reminded her of the beach; the turquoise baby blue eyes that remind her of rich, cloudless breezy skies, as well as the foamy waves crashing to her thoughts, the long, silky blonde hair representing the warm sun and the golden sands.
It was also the way Lilly was so cheerful and boldly ambitious, yet soothing in her own way. She didn't even have to do anything, and Miley would find herself relaxed and amused in the girls' presence.
Lola Luftnagle reminded her of the parties--dark, alluring, strobe lights flashing in rhythm with her pulse. The confidence dripped down her skin, she was so drenched in it, with her quirky, bright wigs and tight, revealing clothing.

Miley opened and closed her mouth repeatedly, like some stupid fish, eyes wide, like a deer in headlights.
"Sorry," she heard Lilly say in front of her.

This is probably the shortest chapter I've ever written for anything. Also my first shot at any Liley, btw, although I've loved it for a while. It'll be a two-shot, but I think it could make a pretty good story if anyone wants that. Let me know what you thought.
