A/N: This story was just flowing when I started typing it. I had plenty of ideas and they were coming much quicker and easier than for Speeding Up The Process. I will be updating both of them so no worries. Let me know your thoughts, especially on a better title. I need help with that. Credit will be given to whomever suggests the best one. Cheers!
Disclaimer: I own nothing and am making nothing off of the following. All following characters are retained by Disney. Only thing I own is the 'awesome' rap by Mike Standley the III. Notice the quotes, I was kidding. Neither Mike Standley the III nor Oliver can rap as well as I can. LOL
Mingling With Celebrities
Chapter One
"Oh my God Miley this party will be so much fun!"
Miley Stewart rolled her eyes as she watched her best friend, Lilly Truscott, bounce up and down on her bed. They had been sorting through clothes in the 'Hannah Closet' for the past two hours, looking for something to wear later that evening.
"Once again Lilly, it's not exactly a party," Miley said with a slightly annoyed sigh. "It's just a charity event for Traci's father's business."
"Who cares? There's still going to be celebrities and all," Lilly said excitedly, continuing to bounce on Miley's bed.
Miley smiled but rolled her eyes, remembering how much 'Lola Luftnagle' enjoys meeting celebrities. She looked over at her desk for a clock and sighed again.
"When is Oliver getting here?"
Lilly shrugged, apparently unconcerned.
"You told him 5:30 and it is only 5:25 so chill."
Miley nodded in agreement but looked back up at her clock.
"I know, but bought some more clothes for 'Mike' and I kind of need him here so we can see how they look."
Lilly jumped off Miley's bed finally and sat down next to her on the floor.
"I still don't know why you ever agreed to start letting him come to these things with us."
A small smile formed on Miley's face as she responded, "Well he never did get to go anywhere in the 'Hannah World' and it's a way to spend more time with him." Her face quickly straightened and she hurriedly added, "Not to mention he is just as much a friend as you are, so he has every right to accompany me."
Rolling her eyes, Lilly stood up and went back into the 'Hannah Closet' to look around some more. Downstairs, a doorbell rang. Miley stood up immediately and jogged out her door and down the stairs.
As he father went to reach out for the door handle, Miley smacked his arm away and opened the door herself, revealing her other best friend, Oliver Oken.
"Great you're here!" she said excitedly, grabbing his hand and pulling him with her up the stairs. "I bought some more stuff for 'Mike' that I want you to try on."
"Why thank you Miley, I'm doing great. How are you doing?" he asked sarcastically, despite a smile forming on his face. "I get here and the first thing that happens is I'm dragged upstairs to try on clothes."
A large smile on her face, Miley rolled her eyes and responded, "Oh you know you have to be sure 'Mike' looks good right? Besides I think you'll like the stuff I bought." Upon the arrival to Miley's room, she added thoughtfully, "We do need to go shopping for more though..."
Oliver groaned as his hand came loose from hers and turned to sit on Miley's bed, but Miley snatched his hand back again as she turned to pull him into her closet.
"Oh no you don't, you're going to get dressed. 'Hannah' can't go anywhere without 'Mike Standley the III'."
Oliver rolled his eyes but smiled slightly at the excitement evident in Miley's voice.
"Okay, okay let's see what you got," he said only slightly reluctantly.
Miley excitedly started sorting through shirts, shorts, and jackets and handed one of each to Oliver before standing back. Looking at the outfit she had chosen for him, his eyebrows rose in surprise.
"Wow, this is actually pretty nice," he said impressively, looking at her choice.
"You like it? Check out these jackets I bought the other day too," she said handing him two.
Oliver laughed as he took them from her, asking, "Why are you so excited? Who are these for anyway? 'Mike' or 'Hannah'?"
"They're clothes, I'm a girl, do the math," she said sticking her tongue out.
Sticking his tongue out in response, he took the clothes she had first given him and said, "I guess I'll throw these on then."
"Great!" she said excitedly. "Then maybe this weekend we can go look for some more stuff for you."
Oliver groaned as he walked down the hall to change with his pair of shorts and shoes.
Placing her hands on her hips, Miley called sarcastically at his retreating form, "No need to sound so excited." Turning back to face her closet, she called, "Lilly where are you?"
From within the 'Hannah Closet', a muffled shout could be heard in reply. As Miley stepped forward, various articles of clothing could be seen strewn all over the floor and beside the piles stood Lilly sorting through racks of skirts.
"Sweet niblets!" she exclaimed looking at her floor. "Have you found something yet?"
"I don't know if I've found just the right thing..." Lilly said as she continued to look through the racks of clothes.
"Well hurry! I already have Oliver off changing, we need to finish soon," Miley said as she pulled out a few clothes herself and looked between them for a moment before deciding.
"I think I found it now," Lilly said happily, looking at her chosen outfit in the mirror and adjusting her chosen wig.
"Me too," Miley said excitedly, moving now to grab her wig. "Now we just need to go grab 'Mike'."
"No need to worry ladies, Mike Standley the III is in the hizz-house," called a familiar voice from Miley's door. Pausing before entering the 'Hannah Closet', Mike asked, "You two decent yet? Your dad wants us to get going."
As 'Lola' and 'Hannah' left the 'Hannah Closet', Hannah paused momentarily to hit Mike.
"Ow! What I do now?"
"Are we 'decent' yet? Sweet niblets boy..." she said rolling her eyes but grabbing his hand with a smile and pulling him with her down the stairs as she followed Lola.
An hour later, Hannah Montana, Lola Luftnagle, and Mike Standley the III arrived. Looking around, Lola let out a small, excited scream that was muffled by her hand.
"Oh my God Hannah, look at all the hot famous celebrities!" she said as she looked around eagerly.
As she moved to rush towards the party, Hannah grabbed her arm and looked at her sternly.
"Have fun, but be calm Lola," she said firmly. Using two fingers to indicate she was going to be watching her, she added, "I'll have my eyes on you."
Lola merely waved her off and walked hurriedly into the fray, leaving Hannah and Mike at the entrance. Looking at Hannah, he rolled his eyes.
"What is it with her and celebrities? Mike Standley the III doesn't overreact to celebrities. He's calm and cool," he said cockily. His eyes suddenly bulging, he pointed out into the crowd, indicating a small group of people that were currently talking to Mikayla and said excitedly, "Is that Mikayla? Wow, she's even hotter in person..."
Frowning, Hannah grabbed his hand and pulled him with her around the less crowded sides.
"Glad to hear Mr. Cool," she said bitterly.
"What?" he asked bewildered as he was dragged along with her.
Stopping dead, she looked around at him firmly and said, "You were checking out Mikayla. My rival remember? You're here to–"
"Hannah!" said a nasally voice from behind.
Turning around Hannah smiled and gave Traci their usual air-kiss to each cheek.
"Hannah darling, how are you?" she asked happily before looking next to her at Mike impressively. "And who is this?"
Grabbing a hold of him, she replied, "Traci, this is my very good friend, Mike Standley."
Flashing three fingers sideways, he added, "The third."
Hannah gave him a look as Traci stepped forward to shake his hand. Leaning closer to her, Traci whispered, "Where do you find these hotties? This one especially...?"
Smiling but rolling her eyes, she said, "I've known him for years."
"And you haven't snatched him up yet?" she asked in amazement.
Frowning slightly, she lowered her head, hurriedly responding, "We're just best friends, there's nothing going on between us."
Completely oblivious to her response, she whispered sneakily, "I might just have to snatch him up myself then." Looking him up and down again, she added, "He is too cute..."
Looking uncomfortable, Hannah quickly steered Mike towards the rest of the party.
Calling over her shoulder, she said, "Need to say hi to everyone else. Later Traci!"
"Where are we going?" Mike asked as Hannah continued to drag him along through the party.
"Oh I don't know, just looking around..." she said as she trailed off quietly.
"But she was hitting on me," Mike said pointing back to where they were coming from.
Her eye twitched slightly at this and she snapped around quickly. She froze for a second before rolling her eyes and waving it off. Smiling she said, "Oh Traci does that with everyone. She wasn't hitting on you."
Frowning slightly, Mike replied sadly, "Oh... okay..."
Shifting guiltily, Hannah looked around her quickly. Smiling she pointed over to a table and said, "Hey look at all the free food."
Mike's eyes instantly widened and he snapped around.
"Food? Free? Where?!"
Rolling her eyes, she indicated the table. Looking over to where she was pointing, Mike grabbed her hand and pulled her over with him to the table. She appeared shocked at first, but smiled and rolled her eyes yet again, allowing herself to be dragged over. As Mike started helping himself to a little of everything, Hannah stood off to the side a little bit, her arms folded, and shaking her head.
"What is it with you and food?"
Looking up from his now overfilled plate, he gave her a look.
"It's food and I'm a guy. Do the math," he said with a smirk.
She gave him a look and turned around, folding her arms in the process, but couldn't prevent the smile from forming on her face. It was wiped away almost immediately by the sight of Mikayla walking over to the snack table. Scowling, she watched as Mikayla walked up to the table and grabbed a plate. As she turned to move down towards the food, Mikayla scowled as well, noticing Hannah for the first time.
"What are you doing here?" she sneered.
"Traci invited me," she sneered back. With a frown she added sarcastically, "You see, Traci is my friend. You know someone that likes you for you, not for your celebrity status. I know this is still a foreign concept to you."
Mikayla scowled again and moved to start putting food onto her plate.
"I see you're not eating. Watching your figure then?"
"Hannah doesn't need to watch her figure," said Mike as he tuned into the conversation.
Mikayla and Hannah both turned to look at him. Mike's eyes instantly widened in recognition of his words and Hannah looked surprised but pleased. Mikayla, turning around to originally snap, paused and looked him up and down.
"Hello there," she said flirtatiously. "I don't believe I've met you before."
Mike, who froze upon noticing his proximity to Mikayla, regained his swagger and held out his hand, replying smoothly, "Mike Standley the III."
Accepting his hand, she smiled flirtatiously and said, "And I am Mikayla."
"I know who you are and I must say you are much prettier in person," Mike said with a cocky smile.
Hannah was glaring at the both of them as she watched their interaction. She stepped forward and wrapped an arm around Mike.
"I see you've met Mike then," she said icily to Mikayla. "My best friend."
"Huh?" said Mike as he continued to look at Mikayala.
Hannah continued to smile icily at Mikayla as she subtly stepped hard on Mike's foot, causing him to moan in pain but he managed to control it.
"Agh–I mean right..." he said looking back down at Hannah who was smiling at him now but one that didn't quite meet the glare she was giving him. Wrapping an arm around her, he said, "That's right, this is my friend Hannah Montana."
Continuing to glare, she stepped on his foot again.
"Agh–err... good friend–agh–my very good friend..." he said gritting his teeth to avoid shouting as Hannah stepped on his foot until she got her wanted response.
Smiling happily now, Hannah pulled him closer and turned to smile at Mikayla.
"Yeah Mike and I have been very close for years."
Mikayla glared at Hannah for a moment but stepped forward and grabbed Mike's other arm.
"I'm surprised he's hung around someone like you for so long. I mean someone like this," she said looking Mike up and down as he looked between the two with a confused expression on his face. "Someone like him should be hanging around the beautiful and talented."
Hannah frowned deeply, she grabbed a firmer hold of Mike as he looked even more confused.
"I agree completely Mikayla. Which is why he doesn't hang out with people like you."
As Mikayla and Hannah stared daggers at each other, Mike looked between the two with a completely confused face. Pointing vaguely behind his back in the general direction of the snack table, he said, "I'm gonna' go get some more food..."
"No you're not," Hannah snapped as she gripped him harder and stared even more fiercely at Mikayla. Mike instantly dropped his arm and looked down.
As Mikayla continued to grip Mike's other arm and glare at Hannah, Hannah said in an overly sweet voice, "Well it was great talking to you Mikayla but Mike and I are going to go mingle."
Slapping Mikayla's hand off of Mike's arm, Hannah steered him off to the rest of the party. Mike again vaguely pointed back towards the snack table.
"I'm still hungry..."
"You can eat later," Hannah said bitterly as she steered Mike and herself to an unoccupied table away from the centre of the festivities.
As Mike looked at her oddly, Hannah looked down with a guilty face and said quietly, "I'm sorry Mike. I just always get stressed out when I have to deal with that... rotten, jealous, little–"
"I get it Hannah," Mike said with a smile, causing Hannah to look up with a little smile but it vanished almost immediately.
"Not only is Lola fawning over celebrities as usual, you would've started hitting on Traci if I hadn't dragged you off and you just were flirting with my rival," she said with a slight frown. "I bring you guys with because I want to have some fun and spend time with you guys. Maybe it seems you're just coming now to mingle with the celebrities."
Looking at her as she sighed and rested her head on her folded arms, Mike wrapped his arm around her and said, "We enjoy getting to see the celebrities, but we also like hanging out with you too." Putting a hand to his heart in mock adoration, he added, "Remember though that you'll always be my favourite celebrity Miss Montana."
Looking up at him with pursed lips, she attempted to glare at him. She managed a second before a smile escaped her lips and she rolled her eyes.
"You know that even though you're Mike right now, you're still a donut right?"
Mike pulled down his shades and smirked.
"Don't be hatin' Hannah
I'm your number one fan-nah."
Hannah furrowed her brow but was had to bite her lip to hold in a giggle.
Smiling at her expression, Mike continued.
"When the ladies look at me they all catch a feva'
Why just right now I was being hit on by a pop-star diva.
Everyone around knows her as Mikayla
But she clearly didn't know that Mike's the number one playa'.
She needs to give up and understand that we just don't mesh
I roll with Hannah coz' we're freaky-freaky-fresh.
Word."
Folding his arms across his chest with his trademark finish, Hannah snorted and started giggling hysterically, rolling her head back onto his arms.
"Never again," she said as she managed to control her laughter.
Mike laughed a little as well, wrapping his arm around her again. Sighing slightly, Hannah looked back up at him with her head upside-down, her head resting against his chest.
"You need to stay with me the rest of the party if Lola is going to be off chasing Justin Timberlake and everyone."
"No problem Hannah," he said winking. "Although I do feel sorry for all the ladies out there that will have to see me on the arm of the famous Hannah Montana."
Shaking her head slightly, a smile still stretched across her face, she hit him in the arm as she continued to look at him upside-down.
"Come on Mikey," she said with a smirk as he frowned slightly at his hated nickname. "Let's go mingle some more."
He frowned but a smile was still evident behind it as he stood up with Hannah. Grabbing his hand, she pulled him with her towards the rest of the party.
A/N: I want around 5-7 reviews for this before updating. I have not forgotten about Speeding Up The Process so don't worry. I just updated that last night! This one came together much easier than the former so I wanted to get it down while it was formed in my head. I finished chapter one a while ago so I thought I'd bung it up on . Let me know your thoughts mates. What I really need is a name for this story. Help me everyone. Credit for the title will be given to you. Cheers!
