Moments of Mistunderstandings

A/N- I do not own Hannah Montana. )

Miley Stewart is at school writing a note to Jake who is back from his film and has been going out with Miley for a month and things are going extremely well.

Dear Jake,

We really need to talk about something important can you meet me at the beach after school?

xoxoMiley

She passes it to him and he opens it, reads it, and nods his head.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Later at the beach…

"So what did you want to talk about??" Jake asked.

"Well I was wondering if you wanted to go to a party with me," answered Miley.

"I dunno Miles, what kinda party. It might not rise up to my famous party standards," Jake said slyly.

"Heh... well Hannah Montana will be there!" Miley replied excitedly, hoping that Jake would come.

Jake asked, "Okay...should that change my mind?"

In response, Miley asked worridly, "You DO like Hannah Montana right??"

"Yeah...what is this all about?"

"Alright, listen Jake. I'm Hannah Montana."

"Hahaha. That's funny Miley. It's alright that you're not famous! You can still hang out with me!" Jake said.

"No Jake, I am serious. I will prove it to you at the party tonight. Listen, I will tell Tracie Vanhorn to call you with the details okay? Please meet me there," Miley pleaded.

"I don't believe you. Why do you have a need to be the center of attention?"

Miley replied in an exasperated tone, "Excuse me? ME? The center of attention! I wouldn't be TALKING!"

"You know what, no, go to that party alone, if there even is a party!"

Jake walks off leaving Miley there in the sand.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hannah is at the party and pacing franticlly(sp?). Jake still hasn't showed up yet and she is getting nervous that their relationship was over. She started to bite on her thumb nail.

Hannah Montana was thinking. He will come, he has too, he said he loves me, he can't just throw love away! I mean really he will come. No he won't. No! Miley! He will you just wait he will show----

Hannah sees Jake standing at the door looking around. Their eyes meet. He walks towards her cautiously.

"Hannah," Jake said.

Hannah was relived to see him. "Jake."

Hannah grabs his hand and pulls him out of the back door and behind some trees. She pulls down the wig and Jakes jaw drops.

"See? I am Hannah Montana," Miley said.

Jake says nothing and runs back to the party. He goes by the juice bar and is silent. A girl comes up to him.

"You're Jake Ryan right?" The girl asked him.

"Yeah."

"You're a bad actor," Said the girl.

Jake was disappointed. "Thanks a lot."

Jake walked away in a slump.

First I find out my girlfriend is a huge pop star, bigger that me even, and some chick who I'm pretty positive was Jojo thinks I am a bad actor! This has not been my day, Jake thought.

"Jake...Can you just hear me out for a second? I usually know what people are thinking. But right now I don't have a clue. Can you please just tell me what you're thinking because I have to know?" Hannah Asked.

"Miley. Hannah. Whoever you are...I don't know what I'm thinking. This is all too much. My girlfriend is secretly a popstar? Why did you keep it a secret? You would be so popular at school! You could even have a better boyfriend than me because apparently I'm a bad actor," Jake told him.

"Listen. I'm sorry for how I am but I'm keeping it a secret for that exact reason. I don't want to be bombarded in shopping malls, and popular at school. Because the only reason they would like me is not for just being me, for being a popstar. That's not what I want. And why would I want a better boyfriend? I have an amazing one right infront of me, right?"

"Let me think about this more Miley. You just excpect me to be like "Cool, lets go out!" This is serious. Maybe a little too serious for me," Jake responded.

"Alright, take your time."

Jake walked away but stayed at the party. He sat down at a couch and sighed. A girl he worked with on a film once came and sat next to him.

"Hey. What's wrong?" The girl asked.

"Well I just found out my girlfriend was Hannah Montana," mumbled Jake.

The girl was shocked, but she didn't yell. "WHAT? OH MY GOODNESS! YOUR DATING HANNAH MONTANA?? WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU JUST FOUND OUT??"

Shoot! Shoot! I shouldn't have said that. How can I get myself out of this one. No. Brooke is a huge GOSSIP! No. Miley will hate me forever, Jake wondered.

A shocked look upon Jakes face arises. He looks over to Miley in her Hannah Montana get-up and notices Brooke talking to her. He was too late. He couldn't save himself anymore. Miley turns her head and looks at Jake. She studders while trying to think of an excuse.

Hannah was angry, "IDIOT! I SHOULD HAVE SAID NOT TO TELL ANYONE! IDIOT! Okay, breathe, what am I going to do? He is such a kidder that Jake Ryan. Hah! Like I would go out with h--OH GOSH! THATS AWEFUL! EVERYONE WANTS TO DATE JAKE RYAN. Who am I kidding!"

Hannah didn't know how to respond. "Uhh-u...Yes. It's true I'm dating Jake Ryan."

Brooke replied with stimulation. "WOW! What a shocker! What did he mean by "I just found out"?"

"Hmm I don't know let me go check."

Brooke stands eagerly awaiting when she remembers, she knows big news nobody else knows. She looks around when she spots a media anchor coming in.

"Make sure you say, you heard it from Brooke Rellings. Jake Ryan and Hannah Montana are dating," Brooke told her.

The media woman jots it down on her notebook.

"Are you sure?" The media woman asked her,

Brooke worms a sly smile across her face. "They both told me themselves. But the weird thing is, he said "I just found out my girlfriend is Hannah Montana." Like what could he mean by that?"

Brooke walked away. The media woman wrote all this down on her notepad. She was finally going to find out with secret behind Hannah Montana.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Miley is home from the party pacing in her bedroom. Lilly is sitting on her bed flipping through a magazine.

"I don't see why your so worried! Nothing will happen! I am sure this Brooke person didn't tell anyone. Besides, all she thinks is that Hannah and Jake are dating, which is true. What could happen?" Lilly asked impatiently.

"Anything! ANYTHING LILLY!" Miley replied.

Miley continues pacing and she starts biting her fingernail.

"Lets think here...1) Brooke could have told the Media about how Jake said "just found out"," Miley said in a worried tone.

"2) She might not have!" Lilly rebutted.

"3) Brooke could be digging around trying to find out information about us and then she will tell the media," Miley answered.

"4) She might not care!"

"5) She might be telling the whole world!!! I'M RUINED LILLY!"

"6) She could be sitting in her room wishing she was dating Jake Ryan. Miley drop this, I am POSITIVE nothing bad will happen," Lilly said.

Miley answered unsure, "Positive?"

"Yes. Positive."

SCENE CHANGE

Media Women is writing down some notes.

Friday May 2nd

Party- Jake confesses that he "Just found out he was dating Hannah Montana"

Possible Outcomes

Jake was dating someone and she told him she was Hannah Montana

and thats it!

"Now all I need is proof. Jill Macared will finally uncover Hannah Montana! HAHAHA!" Jill laughed evilly.

As she laughs evilly her camera man enters.

"Whats so funny?"

"Oh nothing Randell. Just get your camera ready. We are about to do some followi--I mean, interviews!" Jill replied.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Okay, so far nothing has happened. Everything is fine. Lilly, I think you're right!" Miley said ecstatically.

"I told you!"

They were sitting in health class way in the back whispering to each other not paying attention to the "Don't do Drugs" speech they were getting.

"Hey Lil, want to head to the mall after school?"

"Should we invite Oliver and Jake?" Lilly asked.

"Are you kidding? Jake still hasn't apologized for telling some random girl that he is dating Hannah Montana!"

"Uh Miles, its only first period. He hasn't even seen you yet. . ."

"Alright, alright," Miley said.

------------------------------

Lunch finally arrived and Jake walks in, takes a look around and lands his eye on the table Miley is sitting at.

Jake bent over and whispered in Miley's ear, "We really have to talk."

"Geez, took you long enough," Miley said loudly.

"Come over here."

He pulled her off to the side behind a trash can.

"Listen, I am so sorry I told Brooke about Hannah Montana. And I hate to worry you, but Brooke is a big gossip, so keep your eye out. She might not have said anything, but don't count on it. If you can accept my apology then I would love to still be your boyfriend. . ."

His face was so sad. His eyes pleaded forgiveness. Just looking at him made you want to say anything to make his pain go away.

"You better hope she hasn't told anyone! If she has I will really break-up with you."

Jake's mouth moved into a grin.

"So. . ." said Jake.

"So you can still be my boyfriend." Miley replied.

---------------------------------

Jill is in the Seaview area where her latest reported sighting was.

She knocks on the door of he ex-boyfriends house.

Jackson opens the door and sees a normal looking woman standing outside. She looked a little gruff with unbrushed, frizzy hair and barley any make-up.

"Can I help you?" Jackson asked.

Jill looked him straight in the eye. "I heard you used to date Hannah Montana."

"Yeah, about a year ago why?"

Jackson thought something was fishy, who is this woman? Then he spotted a camera man behind their bushes.

"Who are you?" asked Jackson.

Jill had to think quickly. "Jill! I am an old friend of your mothers!"

Jackson was hesitant. " . . .Prove it."

"You don't believe me? Is your mom home?? Let me speak with her!" Said Jill demandingly.

"Nice try, whoever you are, my mother passed away."

He slammed the door in Jill's face. Jill jumped and turned away. She wasn't going to be put down by this. This was only a beginning!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Miley, Lilly, Jake, and Oliver are in the enormous line at the pretzel stand.

"Do yall' really need a pretzel? We are practically out the door!" Miley yelped.

Lilly added, "Yeah guys this could take HOURS."

Oliver didn't know how they could be so eager to leave. "Do you SEE what the Special Pretzel is?"

Jake looked at them, then at Oliver. "Obviously not."

"Triple Cheesy Herb and Butter!" replied Oliver.

Jake nodded his head. "We can't pass this up!"

Miley rolled her eyes. "Whatever, order us one and we will be in Charlotte Russe."

-------------------------

Miley and Lilly are in the enormous line for a changing room in Wet Seal.

Oliver and Jake walk in with 4 large pretzels.

"Do yall' really need a shirt that you can't even afford?" Oliver asked.

"Yeah! This could take HOURS!" Jake said.

"Hey now, this isn't the same. Gimme my pretzel," demanded Lilly.

The gang was just out having fun when Hannah Montana's song starts playing loud on a speaker inside Wet Seal.

Everyone gets silent. They are all trying to hide their smiles.

"That is so cool!" Lilly exclaimed elatedly.

"I know!" Miley replied.

"Don't you just want to sing it?" Oliver asked.

"Yeah. Tons, but I can't."

"Do you ever want to know what its like to not hide your identity?" Oliver questioned.

Miley was sick of thinking about this question. "I know what it will be like. Chaotic."

Lilly looked around. "Where is Jake?"

Oliver looked around as well but couldn't find anything. "Hmm...I don't know."

Jake was heard yelling from somewhere. "HEEELLLPPP!!"

Jake was being bombarded by a pack of wild girls.

"Come on guys!" Miley exclaimed.

The three raced up to Jake trying to push through. Miley, on the ground, grabs his leg and pulls down. The two crawl out of an opening through the fan girls legs. They stand outside the mosh pit. The girls finally realize Jake is gone and they turn around.

A fan girl points to Jake and his crew. "OVER THERE!"

They all chase after Jake, Miley, Lilly, and Oliver in tow. They get outside and run to Jake's car, get in and speed away.

Miley sighed. "See, that's what will never happen to me."

-----------------------

"Hannah is going to a premiere tonight Randel," Jill told him.

"So?"

"So. . . we are going to a premiere tonight."

"Do I have to dress up?" Randell asked Jill.

"Yes."

-----------------------

Hannah Montana and Jake Ryan pull up in a limo outside of the movie premiere of Pirates of the Bahamas. She steps out, Jake in tow. Immediately there is flashing of cameras.

A media woman asked, "Why are you here with Jake Ryan, Ms. Montana?"

Hannah smiled, "Oh, haven't you heard? We are dating."

Jake wraps his hand around Hannah's waist. They enter the premiere.

Jill is outside shell shocked.

Jill thought, They are openly saying they are dating one another. Maybe there is nothing to look into.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hannah Montana and Jake step out of the movie premiere. Obviously word has spread about the two dating because there are cameras everywhere.

A media woman yelped, "HANNAH MONTANA!"

"JAKE RYAN!" A reporter screamed.

Jake and Hannah both replied, "What?"

"HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?" A man shouted over everyone.

Hannah looked over to Jake and shrugged.

"At a party." Hannah told him.

"Just two days ago!" Jake added.

Jill is in the background writing this on her notepad.

Jill questioned that statement. Just two days ago ae? (ae is the Canadian kind of ae after questions) I don't think so! She wondered.

"JAKE AND HANNAH! REGIZ AND KILLY WANT YOU ON THEIR SHOW FOR AN INTERVIEW!" A reporter said loudly.

Jake and Hannah look at eachother and nod.

Jake answered, "Why not!"

-------------------------

Regiz & Killy Studios

Hannah is being prepped with makeup and such in a chair backstage.

Jake is being dressed in his dressing room.

The show is 3 minutes away from starting.

MEANWHILE

Jill is buying a ticket for the show. She is ready to focus on eye communication and word slurs, she knows whether someone is lying.

Randell unfortunately isn't allowed in since he won't go anywhere without his camera.

BACK TO THE SHOW

The camera girl says, "In 5, 4, 3"

She holds up her fingers for 2 and 1 and she points to the four of them.

"Hannah! Great to see you again! So, we are here to talk about the new "It" couple, Hannah Montana and Jake Ryan," Regiz says.

"Yes we are, such a shame to see Jake go right girls!" Killey says sympathetically.

The audience awws.

Jake puts on a fake laugh.

Killey asks, "So Jake, how did this happen?"

Jake looks to Miley. "We met a while ago at the episode Hannah was in. But just recently at a party we clicked."

"How long ago was this Hannah?" Regiz asked.

"Well the party was just a week ago! But we really hit it off." Hannah exclaimed.

Regiz looked straight at the camera. "The Zombie Slayer and the Zombie Princess finally together at last..."

Hannah spoke, "Heh, yes. Finally."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Looking down- to the left- LIE

"Heh. Finally."

LIE

"Met at the episode Hannah was in"

LIE

Heck the whole thing was a lie!

They obviously met before that episode. He met someone who turned out to be Hannah Montana.

Dig for- Jake Ryans most recent girlfrind before Hannah Montana.

Jill yelled, "RANDELL!"

Randell came into the room. "Mmm?"

"We are going on a trip to Seaview again. Where Jake Ryan goes to school."

"Alllrighty!"

--------------------------

Miley was eating cereal before school when Jackson sat down next to her.

Jackson looked at her sister and said, "Hey Miles?"

Miley asked while chewing, "What?"

"There was this woman who was looking for information on us two a couple days ago. I think she might be on to you. Just keep an eye out okay?"

"Me and Jake did a show totally believable so I doubt she would still be on our case. But thanks for the warning."

Jackson shrugged. "Whatever. . ."

Jackson was worried that her secret might come out but he didn't say anything else.

--------------------------

Miley and Jake are talking by their locker before their next class.

Miley said, "That show was fun!"

"They believed every word." Jake responded.

"Yup! I was just saying that to Jackson this morning."

BELL RINGS

"Oh better get to class! See you at lunch!"

Jake and Miley walk in seprate directions.

A woman pops up infront of Jake from behind a locker. Jill.

Jill yelped, "Mr. Ryan!"

"What in the world! Get out of here!" Jake hissed.

"Just want to ask a few questions!"

"Well I just want to get to class. Goodbye!"

Jake walks away speedily.

Jake thought, Man, those media people would do anything for a story. . .

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Okay lets take a different approach Randell," Jill stated.

"How so?"

"I'm thinking..."

Randell looked excited. "You wanna know what I'm thinking?"

Jill turned him down, "Not really."

"No, for once my idea is quite good!"

"Alright fine. Shoot."

"Allllrighty! So we know that Hannah Montana and Jake Ryan are dating. But do we know that Jake is dating someone else?" Randell asked.

"No." Jill remarked.

"No we don't. Why don't we just ask some random person at his school who he is dating?"

"I was expecting some amazing hard hitting way to get this story and all you come up with is asking a girl we don't even know who he's dating? I could have come up with that!" Jill said annoyed.

"But you didn't!"

"Whatever. Tomorrow we will do that, it might get us somewhere."

------------------------

Miley, Jake, Oliver, and Lilly were all in science class bored to death.

Miley yawned.

The bell finally rang and the whole class lept out of their seats and left. Jill was out side the classroom waiting for anyone.

Jill surprised her. "Hello!"

A girl named Lauren was startled. "Uh...hi?"

"I am doing a report on she looks sideways Middle school dating!"

Lauren was irritated. "Congrats."

"I hear Jake Ryan goes to this school."

"Yeah he does why?"

"Do you know who he is dating?" Jill said bluntly.

"Well its confusing actually, alot of people are wondering what's going on with them. He was dating Miley Stewart, a girl who goes to this school as well. But I just saw on C! that he was dating Hannah Montana. I am not sure if he is still with Miley."

"Well thank you so much!"

"No problem. Can I go?" Lauren was keen on leaving.

"Oh yes. Yes you can."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Let's find out who this Miley girl is shall we Randell?" Jill remarked.

"Uh sure."

"Wait! Miley STEWART! Jackson STEWART!"

"Who is Jackson Stewart?"

"Miley's brother." Jill scoffed.

"How do you know she has a brother?" Randell asked dumbly.

"We interviewed him! THIS IS AMAZING!"

Jill opens her notebook and starts writing.

Stewart

"RANDELL!"

"What?"

"I figured it out. Get your car lets get to my computer, I have a lot of writing to do. . ."
