So I did fix it a little bit. I didn't like it with just the letters. I needed a bit more pizzaz, if you know what I mean? Anyway, please read, enjoy and review!! :-)

"Lilly, you should really write that letter. Who knows? It could lead to an amazing adventure!" My unnaturally enthusiastic mother encouraged me from outside my bedroom door. She'd been wanting me to write that letter for a few days. I sighed. It's better than doing nothing.

Dear Person,

Hi! How are you? What's your life like? Hey, I'm just gonna tell you why I ended up writing to you.

It's summer. And my mom has noticed that I haven't really been doing much of anything. Miley and Oliver (my two best friends) are away for basically the whole summer, occupied with things bigger and better than Malibu. So, anyway, my dear mommy decided that I need a project. She recently decided what that project would be.

She came across an article on the internetthe other day. It had something to do with pen pals. I guess my mom thought of me, because when I was about eight years old, I desperately wanted a pen pal. Now I'm fifteen, and I think I've moved on. I mean, I think it would be cool, but I'm not on my knees begging some stranger who lives far away to write to me… (If that makes any sense to you). Anyway, moving along. Mom told me that she thinks it would be a wonderful experience for me to write to a perfect stranger this summer. I guess a bunch of kids- grades 5 through 12 (Mom specified that part to me. I really have no idea why…) just randomly contact this organization and give out their "information" and get hooked up with a pen pal their age. I don't know all the gory details…

That's pretty neat, huh? And definitely not what I thought I was going to be doing this summer.

So, now that you know that , and Mom's come to my door asking if I'm writing yet about five times, I'm going to tell you about myself.

My name's Lilly Truscott and I'm a Malibu, Californian, born and raised. Well, being raised, anyway. I live with my mom, right next to the beach, which is pretty amazing. I'll be a sophomore at my high school (where every day is an adventure, no kidding) when school starts up again. I love Hannah Montana, the Jonas Brothers, skateboarding, surfing, and dressing up in odd costumes in the evenings (Yeah, I used to do that a lot, even though I might be considered too old for it, but now I have no one to do it with since my friends have left me to rot by myself).

My best friends, as I mentioned earlier, are Miley Stewart and Oliver Oken (Hopefully they won't mind me using their last names, but they're not here, so it doesn't matter anyway). They're really great, but as I also mentioned before, left me to fend for myself in Malibu for most of the summer. So I've been surfing, skateboarding, and hanging out all alone for the past few weeks. This is probably why my mom is concerned…

Yeah, that's really all I can think of for now. Sorry it's not very exciting.

Please write back- I mean, I don't know why you wouldn't- this is a pen pal thing... But also please write back because it'll keep me from being a total zombie for the rest of the summer.

Sincerely yours,

Lilly

"Nicholas! Letter for you!" Mom says as she comes back into the bus.

"What?" This is kind of surprising. Sometimes Mom will bring home fan mail, but we usually don't get real letters from real people we really know unless it's a holiday or birthday. Then I remember the pen pal thing.

Mom just hands me the envelope. It's our post office mail address but is addresses to "Whomever it may concern" and there's the pen pal organization's official stamp on it. I guess that's how Mom knew it was for me.

I rip it open excitedly. I mean, I love being a Jonas Brother, but sometimes, you just need to talk to someone who doesn't know you as The Nick Jonas, you need someone who knows you as just you. I was glad I had the chance.

I'm sure I had on a goofy grin when I got done reading the letter, and "goofy grins" don't usually happen for me, but whatever. This was great. I sat down and immediately began my response. This was gonna be fun.

Dear Lilly,

Hello! I'm pretty good, thank you for asking. So is my life. Actually, my life is really good, and I'm enjoying it. What about you?

You know, my mom was kind of the same way, but different. She didn't want me to have so much of a project, but more of a "for fun" activity. I don't know why she wanted me to do this, though, since my whole family is kind of on vacation for a really long time. We're traveling all over the country this summer, but we're all hooked up with the post offices, so we can still get mail. It's pretty awesome. Yeah, anyway, my mom, my dad, and all three brothers thought this was a good idea, and I thought "Why not?" so I signed up and now I'm writing back to you. It's great.

So, maybe you want to know a little bit about me? Well, my name's Nicholas ( I like Nick, though) and I guess I'm a New Jersean, not born, but was raised- and now I'm kind of being raised there, and all over, because we travel a lot. And because we travel a lot, my mom homeschools me and my brothers, and that can be an adventure, too.  And I'm jealous that you live right by the ocean! That's really cool!

I also like Hannah Montana (yeah, I'm a guy who likes her, believe it or not) and I think the Jonas Brothers are okay. I love singing, playing the guitar and piano, and I really do like all the traveling we do. It's amazing, and I feel very lucky because not very many people get to do it. Lilly, if I was in Malibu, I would definitely come dress up with you, because I do that, too! No kidding! Do you dress up in real costumes, or in different styles of clothes, or what? I usually just do clothes with a twist between dressy and casual. Alright, now that you probably think I'm a freak for liking Hannah Montana and dressing up…

I guess my best friends are my two older brothers. They're great, too, and we're always together, so it works. Plus, we're in a band together which is really fun.

So, that's just the basics of me. Mine's not terribly exciting. Yours certainly was exciting, though! All letters are. Except the ones I write….

Now it's your turn to write back!! I'm going to keep you from being a zombie.

Yours truly,

Nick
