Hannah's Birthday Bash

"It's one of the biggest events of the year!" the television reporter said loudly into a microphone standing on a wide red carpet. "I'm here with Zombie High star, Jake Ryan. Jake, please, tell us. What did you get the birthday girl?"

Jake laughed quickly before replying, "What if Hannah is watching? Wouldn't want to ruin the surprise, would we?"

For blocks, people were lined up, trying to gain access into Hannah Montana's birthday party. Lilly couldn't help but hold back her snickers seeing Amber and Ashley behind the velvet rope, reaching out for autographs from all the stars. She and Jackson escorted a fairly hidden Oliver into the party. Good thing he was in a high collared trench coat, sunglasses, and fedora, because several of their classmates were in the crowd.

The world believed it was Hannah's birthday (Miley and her dad purposely chose a date different from her birthday so there wouldn't be any interference) and it was one of the biggest parties of the year. Every teenage star was attending. London Tipton, gladly bringing along Maddie Fitzpatrick, arrived just after Ally and AJ. Vanessa Hudgens and Zac Efron arrived not long after.

Traci Vanhorn simply wished Hannah a "Happy birthday" to every reporter than approached her and continued on in. Lindsey Lohan, taking a break from rehab, did much the same, while the Olsen twins went into long-winded birthday wishes to the cameras. Even the stars of the Harry Potter movies appeared at the party.

By this time, only three people were missing. Robby Ray, wearing his mustache, Roxy, and Miley, dressed as Hannah Montana.

Finally, at exactly 8:00 pm, Hannah's limousine pulled up to the red carpet and Hannah stepped out. Screams poured from all her fans and Roxy got in the face of any fan she thought was trying to get past the velvet rope. Hannah was wearing white Prada boots, a pink one of a kind Versace dress and matching long scarf, Gucci sunglasses, and custom made pearl and diamond earrings.

As she stepped into the huge hall, a loud "Happy birthday, Hannah," was yelled.

Miley smiled, and loudly thanked everyone. Within moments, she began socializing with all the stars that had appeared.

On the opposite end of the hall, Oliver, Lilly (dressed as Lola), and Jackson were chatting and eating fruit cups. That was, until someone called out, "Jackson Stewart, you must have grown a foot since I last saw you."

All three turned around to see teenage rock star, Avi Beach and good friend of Miley Stewart/Hannah Montana. Lilly and Oliver had never met her, or hear Miley even mention her, and therefore dropped their jaws, as she currently had the number two song on the charts, just below Hannah Montana. Jackson knew Avi from back when he lived in Nashville, and well remembered dating her for a few weeks just before her band was discovered. She had platinum blonde hair and a body of a model. She was currently sporting Juicy Couture skinny jeans and a blue crop top with silver designs from her own line, along with Mui Mui stilleto sandals and a diamond necklace.

"I didn't know you were coming, Avi," Jackson smiled and hugged her. She hugged him back.

She then turned to Oliver and Lilly. She pointed at Lilly and asked, "Lola Lufnagle?" Lilly just nodded. "Well, Hannah's told me all about you, and if Traci Vanhorn doesn't like you, then we really ought to hang out more often."

"Really?" Lilly asked.

"Totally, girl," Avi said. "Every time that girl talks, I just want to take the nearest coon-hunting rifle to my head and fire." Lilly and Jackson both laughed, while Oliver was still just stunned. Avi tilted her head looking at him, then asked, "Oliver Oken?"

"How'd you know?" Oliver asked.

"Come on, you don't think I only know the Hannah side of the birthday girl?" Avi asked. "I used to go to school with her and Jackson."

"No!" Lilly and Oliver mused together.

"I swear on my Auntie Louise it's true," Avi said. "I'd go say hi to Hannah myself, but with Traci clinging to her arm, I don't want to go near her."

"Hey, where's the rest of the band?" Jackson asked.

"Oh, they're enjoying the cake," Avi said throwing her head in the direction of the several cakes available to the guests. "Just don't tell them that they're fat free."

Jackson nodded and headed off to reunite with his old friends. Lilly and Oliver, however, were basking in the glory that was Avi Beach. Until Oliver saw Jake Ryan approaching and ran to follow Jackson so Jake wouldn't become suspicious. Jake came up to the girls and smiled his celebrity smile.

"Just don't talk about slaying anyone or I might have to slay you," Avi said.

"Wasn't gonna," Jake said. "I just wanted to know why you're hiding in the corner."

"Well," Lilly began speaking without thinking, as she often does. She grabbed another fruit cup and said, "I was just enjoying these delicious fruit cups. Would you like one, Jake Ryan?"

Jake tilted his head looking at her. "Do I know you?"

"No," Lilly said. "We've never met before. I definitely never went to your school and we definitely don't know too many of the same people outside this party." She paused for a moment and caught Avi's 'You did not just say that' look. "My name is Lola Lufnagle."

Jake nodded and turned to Avi. "What's your excuse?"

"I need an reason to hide from Traci Vanhorn?" Avi asked. Lilly giggled a little, almost spitting a strawberry in her mouth out, but luckily avoided tragedy. "Plus, I'm spending all tomorrow with Hannah. I'm going to her school with her."

Lilly's eyes grew wide. "You are?" She wondered how that would go over at school when Miley appeared with Avi at her side.

"Totally, Lola dear," Avi said. "Now, Jake, what is your reason for coming to this lonely corner?"

"I was wondering if you two girls wanted to dance," Jake said smoothly.

"Have you danced with the host yet?" Avi asked.

"Not sure if I will," Jake said. "I mean, I just got home from Romania, and I might leave early to see this girl I left behind. I doubt Hannah will have time to dance with anyone before midnight."

Lilly however, had a new concern. She knew Jake meant to visit Miley, only now remembering that Jake had been gone for the past four months. But, if Jake went to Miley's house, he'd find it empty, and would probably try to call Miley. He might even get upset if Miley didn't answer her cell, but would know something was suspicious if Miley did pick up because he'd be able to hear the party.

"About that dance," Lilly said and smiled. "I'm up for it."

"Me too," Avi said and followed Jake onto the dance floor.

Hours later, Robby Ray was gathering everyone who was riding home in the limo with Hannah, including Lilly, Oliver, Jackson, Avi, and Miley. Miley hadn't been able to spend more than three minutes talking to any of them, but could tell from their exhausted smiles that they all had fun. She was, however, disappointed that she hadn't seen Jake Ryan, even if others claimed that he had been there.

"Here's your purse, Miley," Roxy said, handing Miley her bag as she climbed back into her limo. Miley immediately reached in and pulled out a compact to see how she looked after hours in the hot hall. Then, she pulled out her phone, noticing she had two missed calls.

"Jake called!" Miley yelped.

"Jake who?" Avi asked from her seat next to Lilly. The two found that they really enjoyed one another's company.

"Ryan, probably," Lilly said. "Did you see him, Miley?"

"No!" Miley yelled.

"Keep it down," Jackson complained. "Some of us would like to have our hearing tomorrow at school."

"I am going to be exhausted," Oliver sighed. "But that party was well worth it. I danced with both Olsen twins at once."

"And I got a kiss from Lindsey Lohan," Jackson smirked.

"Hush hush," Avi said. "I don't know about the rest of ya'll, but Lilly and I are going to catch some shut eye now so we won't fall asleep at school tomorrow."

Lilly, who had been closing her eyes, suddenly shot into the sitting straight position and her eyes flew open again. "I don't know if that's a good idea anymore after telling Jake that you were shadowing Hannah tomorrow."

"You what?" Miley asked, pulling her wig off.

"I told Jake Ryan that I was going to school with you tomorrow, Miley," Avi said.

There was a moment of silence. "Jake will be at school with them tomorrow if he's back from Romania," Jackson said.

"You too, Jackson," Miley reminded her brother that they were now in the same school.

"Miley, dear, are you ever going to reveal your secret?" Avi asked.

Miley shrugged. "I almost did once, but then realized that I didn't want the world to know yet."

"Well lucky you," Avi said. "Put a wig on me and suddenly the whole country wants to know about Avi Beach's new hair. Who's the stylist? Is it a wig? Is it permanent? How many girls are going to copy it? Is it for a movie or music video? With you, wig on and you're Hannah, wig off you're Miley. That's called luck."

"I don't know if it's such a good idea for you to go to school with Miles tomorrow," Robby Ray said to Avi.

Avi widened her green eyes. "I'll just tell him I changed my mind and decided to spend the day with my bestest friend from Nashville instead. Please Mr. Stewart."

"Please, Daddy," Miley begged as well.

"I'll come up with some fake vacation Hannah and I will go on or something instead," Avi said. "Or real vacation…"

"Not anytime soon, Avi," Robby Ray said. "Miley's still got school to attend."

"Please," Avi and Miley begged together.

Robby Ray sighed and gave in.

"Now, about that shut eye," Lilly said.
