Darla sighed as she sat in her bedroom after finishing her homework. "Atticus has gone to the DragonBall Z world... What do I do until he's back?"
"Why don't you listen to some music with your friends?" Maisy suggested as she curled up on the girl's bed. "That always cheers you up, who's that singer you all like?"
"Hannah Montana." Darla smiled.
"Yeah, her, and besides, he's probably going to tell them that he's a god now." Maisy said.
Darla sighed. "I miss him when he goes on adventures like this..."
"Oh, he'll be back home soon," Maisy soothed. "Now, put on your music and have your friends over."
They soon heard a knocking at the door. Patrick decided to get the door to see who it was as Darla was about to come down and invite her friends over, and where it was a friend of his that was a mortal who was known as Robbie Ray.
"Robbie, hey!" he smiled. "I haven't seen you in forever! How long has it been?"
"Too long, Patrick." Robbie Ray chuckled.
"What are you doing here?" Patrick smiled.
"Well, I was on my way to the concert and I thought that one of your kids and friends of any of them can go to Hanna Montana's concert and meet her before she performs." Robbie Ray smiled back.
"Well, my little girl is upstairs rather bored to tears and she's a big fan..." Patrick smiled knowingly as he looked up the stairs to Darla's bedroom. "Let me go see her." he then went upstairs.
"I just hope she's good at keeping secrets." Robbie Ray chuckled.
"Oh, you can count on her." Patrick replied as he came upstairs.
Before Patrick could open the door, Darla had opened her door to see who was at the front door.
"Oh, hi there, honey." Patrick smiled.
"I heard another voice." Darla looked up.
"Well, you might as well go down and say hello," Patrick told his younger daughter. "He's a friend of Cherry's dad's too, they grew up together, but I met him later in life."
Darla soon went downstairs with Patrick.
"Robbie, this is Darla," Patrick introduced. "She's the sweetest little girl you'll ever meet."
"Good day to you, sir." Darla greeted politely.
"Well, good day to you too, Darla; how would you and some friends of yours like to meet Hannah Montana before she performs?" Robbie Ray asked.
"Oh, we would love that very much, Mr. Robbie Ray, sir," Darla beamed before looking curious. "Erm... How do you know Hannah Montana though?"
"Oh, you'll see." Robbie Ray chuckled.
Patrick laughed with Robbie Ray. Darla looked confused, but shrugged and went to call Amber and Annabelle and invited them over to her house. And where the three of them were going to learn a secret that was big.
"How's Atticus doing?" Annabelle asked.
"I hope he's okay..." Darla sighed. "It feels like he's been gone for years."
"How's Cherry dealing with him being gone?" Amber asked since she knew Cherry and Atticus were close friends, almost like a brother and sister.
"I think Cherry said something about visiting her cousin Romeo," Darla shrugged. "Which is weird, because the only Romeos I know are in Shakespeare and the boy rapper."
"Well, I'm sure she's having a hard time with him away." Amber said.
"Yeah, but he was allowed to take Mo and Patch with this time," Darla said. "Another reason for Cherry to be blackened..." She then sighed, then came to her father as he sat on the couch with Robbie Ray and they caught up, but there was a rather sad part included.
"I'm really sorry about Susan, she was such a great woman." Patrick said.
"I miss her everyday." Robbie Ray frowned.
"I don't blame you..." Patrick said. "If anything happened to Emily, I don't know what I'd do."
The two men then looked over as Darla came with her two best friends.
"Are we interrupting something?" Annabelle asked.
"Mr. Robbie Ray, these are my best friends," Darla introduced. "Amber Smith and Annabelle Greening. Mr. Robbie Ray's gonna take us to see Hannah Montana." She then told her friends with a smile.
This caused for Amber and Annabelle to squeal out of excitement. Darla squealed and then ran to them and jumped with them. Patrick chuckled with a smile to the three girls as he felt happy for them.
They soon made their way to the concert. Maisy soon rushed into Darla's bag and hid inside of it as they were going, and where this would be one concert they wouldn't forget. The three girls sat in the back as Robbie Ray gave them a ride to the concert. Patrick then went to spend some time with Emily as their kids were all busy now and occupied.
"Hannah! Hannah! Hannah!" The three girls chanted on the way to the concert.
"I nearly forgot of how energetic little girls are." Robbie Ray said.
It took a bit of a while, but soon they parked and the girls ran out to join the other people to see the concert as they chanted the pop star's name.
Robbie Ray helped the girls inside and once they were getting into place, he was going somewhere else. "I'll see you girls after the show." he then said before he went off.
"Where do you think he's going?" Annabelle wondered.
Darla and Amber simply shrugged.
"Well, I hope he'll be okay..." Annabelle shrugged herself.
There was a slight rumbling and the three girls panicked as they were about to be trampled by the fan stampede.
"We'll never get into the concert at this rate!" Amber panicked.
"Maybe we can follow those two." Darla said while pointing to two teenage girls.
"Deep breaths, everybody." Amber said.
The three girls took deep breaths as they jumped into the crowd and followed the two teenage girls that Darla had pointed out. Luckily, they got to the ticket booth with the two teenage girls.
"It's Miley Stewart," the brunette girl told the woman as she stood with her friend. "We've got to get in there!"
"Yeah, our names are on the list!" the blonde girl added.
"Well, why didn't you just say so?" the woman scoffed as she didn't believe them. "In your dreams, Sweet Cheeks, NEXT!"
"That's us." Darla called out to the woman.
The three girls gave their tickets to the woman as the blonde and brunette girls were in distress as they weren't allowed into the concert until they saw a security scooter. Darla and the girls soon saw what the blonde and brunette girls were doing and decided to go with them and let someone else have the tickets as they had a feeling this would be another way for them to see the concert.
"Excuse us, do you mind if we go with you?" Amber asked.
The blonde and brunette girls looked to the three others and shrugged and decided to let it be. The girls all laughed as they rode the security vehicle, even though they were being chased by a guard.
"This is the greatest ride of my life!" Maisy cheered as she popped out of Darla's bag while they were riding on the security vehicle.
"Maisy!" Darla noticed her cat.
"Somebody stop those girls!" the security guard yelled out.
"Go faster!" the blonde girl told her friend who was driving.
"I can't, this is a golf cart!" the brunette girl replied.
"I can help with that." Annabelle said before she used her magic to make the security vehicle go a bit faster.
"Whoa!" the brunette and blonde girls yelped as they weren't expecting that, but Darla and Amber knew very well how that had happened.
"STOP!" the security guard kept chasing them. "Those girls shouldn't be here! They don't have a backstage pass! Stop in the name of security!"
"Um, any reason you guys don't have tickets to the concert?" Darla asked.
"Uh..." The blonde and brunette girls said, not sure how to answer.
Darla narrowed her eyes slightly in suspicion, Atticus's detective skills seemed to had rubbed off on her.
"Oh, look out!" Annabelle cried out as people were moving a poster.
"Oh, come on!" Amber complained. "A poster?!"
"At least it's not iron." Annabelle smiled sheepishly.
They crashed into the poster, but soon moved it off as the face had landed on the brunette girl's face. Robbie Ray looked all around and the three girls in the back then noticed him.
"It's Mr. Robbie Ray!" Darla said which surprised the blonde and brunette girls that she knew who he was.
"I guess that's where he went." Amber smiled.
"It's okay, it's okay, they're with me, they're with me." Robbie Ray told the security guard who chased the girls.
The blonde and brunette girls rushed over with Robbie Ray. He was about to close the door until he then saw Darla, Amber, and Annabelle were there.
"Hi, Mr. Robbie Ray." Darla, Amber, and Annabelle greeted.
Maisy soon greeted with a meow.
"You brought your pet to a concert?" Robbie Ray asked.
"Oh, I just can't go anywhere without her..." Darla said before hiding a look to her cat.
Maisy soon gave Robbie Ray, the brunette girl, and the blonde girl the cute kitty face.
"Okay, y'all might as well come in." Robbie Ray urged them inside.
They then ran inside the room and Robbie Ray closed the door behind them, and where the name on the door read 'Hannah Montana'. Darla, Amber, and Annabelle were wondering why they were there and they soon saw blonde wigs. Was Hannah Montana actually bald?
The brunette girl was sitting in a chair and she was being made-up by make-up artists and getting her hair tied up so it could hide underneath the blonde wig which made the three girls gasp. Their new friend was actually Hannah Montana herself! This caused for Darla, Amber, Annabelle, and Maisy to go jaw-dropped.
"Surprise!" Robbie Ray smiled to the girls and cat.
"Daddy, can we trust 'em?" the brunette girl asked.
"Yes, Bud, they're okay by me." Robbie Ray promised his daughter.
"We can keep a secret." Darla said.
"We've been keeping pretty big ones for a while now." Amber added in.
Annabelle smiled and nodded herself as well.
"Well, I guess we should get to know each other for now," the brunette girl said. "Now, like this, my name is Miley Stewart, but when on stage, I'm Hannah Montana."
"This is so awesome." Darla smiled.
"Yeah, I've got the best of both worlds." Miley smiled back.
"I always knew that song had a special meaning!" Annabelle chimed in then.
"And what are your names?" Miley asked the others.
"I'm Amber Smith and these are my best friends, Darla Fudo and Annabelle Greening." Amber introduced.
"So nice to meet y'all," Miley smiled. "Even though there's a girl at my school who's mean and her name is Amber."
"You go to school?" Darla asked in surprise.
"I told her she could be home-schooled, but she wanted to go to school like a normal kid." Robbie Ray shrugged.
"Cool." Darla smiled.
"Yeah, I guess." Miley shrugged with a smile back to her new friends.
"So, who was that girl with you?" Darla asked.
"My best friend, Lily Truscott, I trust her with my secret, along with our other friend, Oliver, though that was more difficult than her." Miley said before she puckered her lips to get lip gloss on.
"How difficult?" Amber asked.
"Well, for one, he had a massive crush on Hannah," Miley said before popping her lips and then turning her head as she got her make-up on by the artists. "I was worried when he came to one concert that he'd recognize me, but luckily, he didn't... I then had to draw him away, so I chewed gum."
"So?" Amber asked.
"Oliver doesn't like gum chewing." Miley replied.
"Yikes!" Annabelle said.
"Why not?" Amber asked.
Miley tried to think back. "I think it was something about his grandmother..."
"That would do it." Darla said.
"Sorry, I gotta get ready." Miley then said as she couldn't talk anymore right now.
"We get that." Annabelle said as she gently pet Maisy.
Maisy soon purred as Annabelle pet her. Annabelle smiled down to Maisy.
Miley was soon getting made up so she could be Hannah Montana, and where she soon made her way to the stage.
"This is cool!" Darla beamed. "I've never seen a concert like this before!"
"Showtime, baby doll." Robbie Ray told his daughter once she was dressed and had her blonde wig on.
"Good luck, don't mess up!" Lilly called out to her best friend.
"I doubt she'll mess up." Darla said.
Robbie Ray followed his daughter out to wish her luck and support as her father, but also to remind her to do the dishes at home.
Lilly decided to get to know the girls better from their spot in backstage.
"This is so cool, I never thought I'd ever be backstage in a Hannah Montana concert." Darla was so excited.
"I know, it can be pretty cool." Lily smiled.
"Was Miley Hannah Montana when you knew her?" Amber asked.
"Yeah, but we kept it secret," Lilly explained. "I won't forget when I found out, I tried to break into the dressing room because I had to meet Hannah Montana, but I then saw that she had the same friendship bracelet that I gave to Miley and she then told me everything. She doesn't want everyone back home to know she's Hannah Montana because she thinks they'll treat her differently."
"Well, Hannah Montana is a pop star." Annabelle said.
"We have so many questions..." Amber said.
"Believe me, I did too." Lilly chuckled as she remembered when she found out about her best friend's secret life.
Maisy soon nuzzled up to Darla. Darla smiled down to her cat and hugged her.
"Aw!" Lilly smiled. "Such a cute kitty."
"Yes, she is," Darla smiled back. "Her name is Maisy."
Lilly soon started to pet Maisy. Maisy purred and mewed to Lilly as she really liked the girl so far.
"Aw! Maisy likes you, Lilly." Darla smiled.
Maisy mewed up to Lilly.
"Hi there!" Lilly giggled to the cat as she gently fluffed up her fur.
Maisy soon purred and nuzzled up to her.
Lilly giggled as she really liked Maisy and the feeling seemed to be mutual. "Ooh, nice collar."
Maisy smiled to that as she rubbed up against Lilly. They were all now watching the concert and it began with The Best of Both Worlds.
"I love this song!" Darla smiled.
"Oh, me too!" Annabelle cheered.
They all then began to sing along with the song as it was being performed. Maisy soon began to dance around to the song.
Lilly laughed to that. "I think Maisy likes Hannah Montana too!"
"She sure does." Darla smiled.
Maisy smiled to the others as she danced along with them to the concert. Little did they know, a certain someone was set out to find out Hannah Montana's secret.
