Shooting Stars
Prologue
A/N: So, this is my first story centered around Miley. After watching the Hannah Montana movie, I fell in love with the relationship between Miley and Travis, which inspired me to write a story. This story will have some Hannah Montana Movie events in it, but a bunch of it is my original ideas. Also, Travis is connected to Miley's past in a much bigger way than he is in the movie. And Travis and Miley are going to be fighting, a lot, but that's all I'm going to tell you. So, I hope you like it. Read and review, please!

Dear Diary,
Daddy gave me this journal for my birthday, but I haven't written in it yet. But today I decided I needed to. Today is the first anniversery of my mother's death. Travis came by today, but I didn't come downstairs. Daddy said that it would do me good to get out today and have some fun to try to take my mind off Mom, but I can't stop thinking about her. I miss her so much. Lately, I've started seeing her everywhere I go. Travis says that that's normal, that he felt the same way when his dog died. I got mad at him for saying that and wouldn't talk to him for two whole days. Speaking of Travis, things are getting weird between us. The other day, we were down at the creek and he wouldn't stop staring at me. I get butterflies everytime I'm around him, almost like I'm getting sick, but a good kind of sick. Do you know what I mean, diary? I wish Mom was still here. I wish I had somebody to talk to. There's just some things you can't tell your daddy. Jackson cried today. When I caught him, he brushed it off and tried to make it out like he had allergies, but I knew better. Anyway, today Daddy held a family meeting. Ever since I started talking about how I wanted to be a famous singer, he's been looking into it for me. He says it will be a nice change if something happens and we get to move to Hollywood. I'm scared, though. I love singing so much, but I don't know what I'll do without the farm and my animals and family and Travis. Besides, all of my memories are here. Mom's memories. I can't just pack up and move to California. Daddy says it's practically a done deal, though. He has to talk to a few more people and then supposedly I'm going to become famous. That's another thing I'm scared about, diary. Being famous. I want to live a normal life. I don't want to be followed around by papparazzi all day. I want to just be Miley. Is that too much to ask? To live my dreams and still be a normal girl? Uh-oh. Travis is at my window, wanting in. I'd better go.
Love,
Miley

Miley Stewart had everything a normal sixteen-year-old girl could ever want. A loving family (excluding her older brother Jackson), a house to live in, two best friends, good grades, and a super-secret alter ego, Hannah Montana. Okay, so maybe that last part wasn't so normal. But still, the point is, she had a good life. For the most part. Because Miley couldn't help but feel that something was missing. But to tell about that, we'll have to start at the beginning. Way back three years ago, when Miley Stewart became Hannah Montana.
It all started about a year after Miley's mom died. Ever since she was two years old, Miley had always loved singing. Every night she would lie awake as long as she could, envisioning performing for a huge crowd of people, all screaming her name. Right before her mom died, Miley's dad, Robby Ray, took her to an audition for a record company who was looking for a new, young popstar. Miley thought she had nailed the audition and sure enough, two days later, she got a call asking for another audition. The appointment was scheduled for the following week and Miley had never been more excited. Her dream was finally coming true! And that's when the car wreck happened.
The next few days passed in a blur. All thoughts of being famous flew out of Miley's head. Every second for the next six months, she wished and wished that there was some way that her mom could come back. But she didn't.
The next year was the toughest the Stewart family had ever been through. Robby Ray was now a single parent, with a teenager and a tween to raise. When he caught Miley trying to hang herself about seven months after her mother's death, Robby Ray decided it was time to take some action. He knew that the number one thing that made Miley happen was singing. So he made a few phone calls and managed to get her another audition. Miley was relunctant to go, but she was also the tiniest bit excited. Singing was her dream and she still wanted to be famous.
The audition was a success and Miley was signed to the record company. But there was one problem. How was Miley supposed to be famous and still live a normal life? The answer: Hannah Montana. Hannah Montana would be the famous one, a blonde-wig wearing superstar. Miley could still go to school and be normal. Now, all they had to do was move to California. So Miley and Robby Ray went home and started packing. At first, Jackson didn't want to move. He threw a huge fit and told Robby Ray that if he made him move to California, he would hate him forver. Robby Ray was torn.
What was he supposed to do, force his daughter to give up on her dreams just to make his other child happy? No. He couldn't do it. They were moving to California.
