A/N: Well I just remembered this story and then found it and decided to post it up here and give it shot. You know, just to see what you all think. Which also explains why it's so short, it's just the beginning bit, but I'm not sure which one, a oneshot or a story? Review and let me know...

The Tennessee Trips

Miley's POV-

I never knew how to explain what I loved about my travel life. Every time I left Malibu, California and took a small vacation to Tennessee, I never wanted to leave. But I was still just a senior in high school and I couldn't move away from home yet.

But the thing was that I made a friend the very first day I went there. After talking for hardly five minutes, something clicked. I saw it in her eyes and she saw it in mine. We wanted to be more then two girls that just met, we wanted to be friends. So before we knew it, we were exchanging phone numbers and emails with each other.

"I gotta go, sorry." I said to her, as I felt my phone vibrate, then saw a text from my dad, saying to meet him at the hotel lobby. "But I'll see you around Lilly." I smiled.

"Really? You honestly like..." She looked around her sarcastically, "...this little town in Tennessee that much?"

We were sitting on a park bench. I didn't glance around, but only looked right in her eyes. "I really do now." My smile didn't break, it only grew.

She noticed I wasn't looking around, but only at her. She smiled, "Well I never thought that Tennessee would top a famous place like Malibu, Miss Miley Stewart!" Lilly giggled, so did I.

"Well what can I say, I had a great tour guide." I winked at Lilly. "And Malibu is actually quite empty when you have no one to talk to, especially at school. Except just take shit from the 'queen bee' of the school and her three wanna be's following her everywhere." I chuckled. "But now that I have a best friend to talk to and do stuff with, I really don't wanna..." I paused, as I got another text from dad. 'Now!' It was the one word that broke me. I sighed, "...leave. Sorry, another text from my dad saying, "Now!"" I air quoted. "But I'll come visit as soon as I can, I promise."

"Cool, thanks Miley. Gosh, it's too bad we didn't meet several days ago, when you first got here." Lilly sighed and stood up.

"Yeah, I sure wish we did too." I said, standing up from the bench as well.

"Well I guess I'll see you later then." Lilly said, putting a hand out for me to shake, goodbye.

I grabbed it for a few seconds and then, without thinking, pulled her into a small hug. My mind stopped, as our shoulders and our arms briefly touched. I only made it small, quick and not too close. I didn't want to scare her for being the one to pull her right up to me. But to me, those few seconds were amazing. I decided it was time to snap back into reality.

"S-sorry, just kind of hard sayin bye with a simple hand shake. I'm just...I guess I'm just that kinda person when it comes to friends." I said, really nervous.

"No, no it's ok really." Lilly was smiling. "Wait though, did you mean what you said before? When you were talking about your school? That I'm your best friend?"

"Oh, w-well I was just talking fast and I-"

Lilly silenced me, with a finger on my lips. "I'd love to be your best friend." She said, with a huge smile now.

"Cool, thanks Lilly. And I'd bet anything that my dad's pissed off at me by now, for taking even longer. But I don't care, you're worth it. I'll see you as soon as I can though."

"Oh and I'll email you and call you. You can count on it." She winked.

I chuckled. "Alright, thanks Lilly, see ya." I said, slowly letting go of her hand and walking the opposite direction.

"Bye Miley." She said softly and completely let go of my hand as we parted.

That's how it all started for me. And now when someone asks, why Tennessee of all places for a vacation? I simply tell them what I finally figured out, "It's the simple stuff I do that makes me happy there. And it doesn't matter where I am, it matters who I'm with and that's what makes life more fun."

As I thought of this as I was walking through the airport, I smiled at what I had just realized. Then suddenly got a text from Lilly,


Good luck with the flight and check your email when u get home girl. ;)

I smiled so big and nothing could take it off my face. I followed my dad and brother through the line, gave my plane ticket to someone and walked to the airplane. But it was all a blur and I felt like a robot just doing the same routine. I heard my dad's voice faintly next to me, as we sat down on the plane. But I didn't answer, cause I was still smiling and looking at the text once again. Then quickly replied before we had to shut our cell phones off. I finally had a best friend. The best one I could ask for.
