A/N: Hello! Back with another Lilly/Jackson story kind of with a Valentine's theme. Read, review, tell me if it sucks I hope though that it doesn't. Anyway enjoy!

Lilly walked through the corridor of Seaview Middle School, the place was a buzz with people getting ready for the big Valentine's Day dance that was to be taking place on Friday evening. Usually Lilly didn't mind the hubbub of the day but this year was different; it seemed everyone in school had somebody except for her 'Was I sick the day they handed out boyfriends?' as she approached her locker she saw her friends Miley Stewart and Oliver Oken making out like there was no tomorrow. Lilly was happy for them in fact she credited herself for getting them together but did they really have to do that in front of her? It was gross.

"Come on guys, give it a rest huh?" Lilly said opening her locker.

"Sorry Lilly" Miley smiled "Hey want to come over later? We can make decorations for the dance" Ah yes the dance, Miley had signed them up to be on the decorating committee much to her dismay 'Great paper love hearts and cupids'

"Sure it could be fun" she put her books into her bag.

"Have you found a date for the dance yet Lilly?" Oliver asked while he played with Miley's hair.

"Uh no, not yet" she shut her locker and saw the look on her friends faces, pity.

"It is only Monday though and the dance is on Friday, that's plenty of time to find a date"

"Sure it is" Miley smiled "I'll even help you find someone"

"Miley please I'm perfectly capable of finding myself a date" she smiled and headed off to class.

Lilly sat at her desk and instead of listening to the teacher talk about the Civil War she wrote up a list of people who she could ask to the dance. One by one she went through the names 'Taken, taken, taken, broken ankle…I'll put him in the maybe list' she sighed this was going to be harder than she originally thought.

After school Lilly and Miley went over to the Stewart's house to work on decorations they sat at the table cutting hearts and flowers out of brightly coloured paper "Miley wouldn't it be better just to buy the decorations?"

"Lilly no this is a Valentine's dance everything has to be done by hand with love"

Lilly stared at her "Are you listening to yourself?"

Miley smiled goofily and went back to cutting out flowers.

Lilly rolled her eyes if that was love she was glad not to be with anyone.

Miley's cell phone rang and she picked it up after a short conversation she hung up "There's a problem with the balloons for the dance I'll be back soon" she grabbed her bag and headed out the door passing Jackson on the way out.

"Hey Jackson" Lilly said absently distracted by her cutting.

"Where's Miley off to?" He asked sitting down at the table.

"Problem with the balloons for the dance…total lie. She's gone for a prolonged make out session with Smokin' Oken"

Jackson smiled and looked at the cut outs on the table "Lilly why are your love hearts broken?"

"Huh?" she looked down at what she had been cutting out; Little red broken love hearts "I didn't even realise" she held one up trying to force them back together.

"Wanna talk about it?"

"Valentine's Day is coming up and I'm desperate and dateless" she pouted "I mean I'd usually go with Miley and Oliver but since they're dating…"

"That's driving me bonkers I'll tell you" Jackson stood getting the orange juice from the fridge "All the kissing and the pet names ugh" he shivered.

"Pet names?" Lilly asked she hadn't heard them call each other pet names "Like what?"

"Oken calls her snuggle bunny"

Lilly laughed "He does not! That can't be true…what does she call him?"

"Do you really wanna hear? Cause you'll fall off the chair laughing"

"Jackson! Come on tell me! What does she call him?"

Jackson leaned on the counter and smirked "Ollykins"

Lilly put her hand over her mouth, this was hilarious. After a few moments she calmed down and stood taking the orange juice bottle from him, taking a sip "They're at it all the time it's sickening and today when I said I didn't have a date they gave me the look you know the 'oh poor dateless Lilly' look"

"I wouldn't put too much stock into it Lilly Valentine's Day, it's just a day"

"Yeah but it's the day where you're supposed to get flowers and chocolates and little teddy bears that kiss…"

Jackson nudged her "You act all tough but inside you're a big softy aren't you Truscott?"

She shrugged and smiled "Come on I'll help you scotch tape your hearts back together"
