So I'm going to try writing two stories at once. This one and another Loe story called, "Through Their Eyes." But here's the first chapter of this story.

I don't own the Jonas Brothers or Hannah Montana. But if I did, it would be pretty sweet…

I hope you enjoy!

She was in an open field. The sun was shining brightly overhead and she was basking in the warmth. It wasn't too warm, and it wasn't too cold…just the right temperature. She looked down and noticed that her clothes were very bohemian. A long white flowy skirt and a simple, pale yellow tank top. She had no jewelry and her hair was loosely bound on a ponytail and draped over one shoulder. She was barefoot. With a giggle, she wiggled her toes in the grass. Looking around her she noticed that the field was full of tall, bright sunflowers.

"Oh, these are my favorite!" she cried in happiness. Her name may have been Lilly, but sunflowers just made her so happy. With a joyful whoop, she ran into the heart of the field and spun around and around in circles. She laughed and spun until she fell down. She knew this was a dream, but she was loving it anyway. There was something about dreams that made her feel so uninhibited and joyful.

This was kind of a strange dream for her. Her dreams were usually filled with cute boys or skateboarding or Hannah Montana events. They were loud and colorful and complicated. It was never this quiet, simple contentment in a field of sunflowers. She sighed and lay back, feeling a light breeze blowing across her skin. She liked this dream...

Suddenly, Lilly felt a presence that made her feel the urge to stand up. Oh no, this wasn't going to be one of those scary dreams where she'd be in a field of flowers when some axe-murdering weirdo would chase after her and kill her, was it? She tensed, stood and looked around cautiously. She didn't see anyone, as she turned around but then she spotted him. He had dark hair and he was dressed all in black. He was far enough away that she couldn't see his face, but she could tell that he wasn't holding anything. So maybe he wasn't an axe-murderer. But it was a dream and anything could happen…the figure started walking toward her. She debated whether she should stay where she was or run. Oh, who was she kidding? She picked up her skirt, and started running. Ugh! This is why she hated long skirts…she chanced a look behind her and she noticed that he was running, too. And he was getting even closer. Oh gosh!

She ran for what seemed like forever when she felt someone grab her arm. She screamed.

"Wait!" a voice said. "I won't hurt you." The voice sounded familiar…she turned and noticed the boy looked like Joe Jonas.

"What?" she asked, gasping for breath.

"I heard laughter, and I just wanted to come see who it was. I won't hurt you," he said gently.

"You look just like Joe Jonas," she whispered. Oh great, Lilly thought to herself. You were just running from this guy and the first thing you can think of to say is that he looks like Joe Jonas?

The boy smiled. "That's because I am Joe Jonas."

"Oh." She didn't say anything after that. Inwardly, she was freaking out. Joe Jonas was in her dream. EEEEEEEP!

"What's your name?" he asked.

"I'm Lilly," she responded.

"A lily in a field of sunflowers…that's not something you see everyday," he laughed. She laughed with him.

"Sunflowers are my favorite," she said with a sigh. He didn't look like he was going to hurt her so she sat down. He did the same.

"But your name is Lilly."

"Just because my name is Lilly doesn't mean that they have to be my favorite flowers," she retorted, rolling her eyes.

"Yeah…and I guess it would have been silly to name you sunflower…" Joe mused. Lilly laughed again.

"Tell me about yourself, Joe Jonas," she said after a moment.

"There's really not much to know about me. Nothing that you can't find on the internet," he commented.

"Yes, but it's my dream and I was thinking that maybe you'd reveal something like…you have seven toes or that you secretly sing opera in the shower."

"It's your dream? I thought it was my dream."

"Doesn't matter."

"How about this…I tell you something about me and you tell me something about you."

Lilly smiled. "I like that plan."

"Okay, I'll go first. My name is Joe Jonas. Your turn."

"Joe!" she cried. "That's not fair." He stuck his tongue out at her. "Fine…my name is Lilly –" She tried to say her last name but nothing came out. She attempted it again. "My name is Lilly – My dream isn't letting me say my last name…" she said aloud.

"I guess it's enough to know that your name is Lilly…for now," Joe said playfully. "Okay, I have three brothers and a mom and dad."

"I have one brother, two best friends who are practically my siblings, and my parents are divorced," She almost choked on the word "divorced." It had happened over two years ago, but sometimes it still hurt. "My brother lives with my dad in Florida. I don't see them much."

Joe reached for her hand sympathetically and squeezed gently. She smiled at him. "My turn, huh? Alright…I'm from New Jersey, but we've moved to California recently."

"Oh!" she exclaimed excitedly. "I live in California!"

"Sweet! Where?"

"I don't know if I'll be able to say…after all, my dream wouldn't let me say my last name…"

"Fair enough," he shrugged. "What else…I love to read."

"Really? What's your favorite book?"

Joe thought for a moment. "I'd have to say A Tale of Two Cities. It's got everything you need in a book…drama, romance, angst, angry mobs…"

"Mine's The Alchemist. By Paulo Coehlo. He's amazing," Lilly said, lying back with a sigh.

Joe followed suit. "I love that book, too! It's just fantastic! What do you do you like to do?"

"I like to surf and skateboard. When I'm doing either of those, it's just the most amazing feeling in the world…"

They talked for a while about themselves and about life. They talked and joked and it felt like they'd known each other forever. Lilly knew that this was a dream, but she never wanted it to end.

"Why do you suppose we're here?" he asked.

"I don't know. We're studying dreams in psychology, and sunflowers symbolize warmth and prosperity. It's also used to point people in the right direction," Lilly said. "Maybe it's telling me that I need to buy more Jonas Brothers concert tickets…"

"And maybe it's telling me that I need to…decorate my room with Lilies?" Lilly laughed. She was still positive that he was a figment of her imagination.

"This is a very weird dream, but I kind of like it," she said with a smile.

"Me too!" Joe reached for her hand. "I'm glad I met you. Even if it is just in a dream."

"Likewise," Lilly suddenly felt a tug, pulling her away. "I think I'm waking up! It was nice meeting you Joe!"

"I hope I see you again!" she heard him yell before she jerked awake. She sat up and realized that she was in a sleeping bag on Miley's floor.

"I'm never drinking Mr. Stewart's loco hot coco ever again," she whispered. She thought about her dream and sighed. "Or maybe I will…"

Joe was eager to go to sleep. He wanted to know if he'd dream of her again. Lilly…he knew that she was probably a figment of his imagination, that she was just a dream…but he felt really good when he was with her last night. And he was also exhausted. It had been a terribly long day and he was just getting into bed at 3 am.

He lay in bed and waited to drift off…suddenly, he found himself in the sunflower field again. Yes, he thought. Now all he had to do was find her.

"Lilly!" he called. "Lilly?"

He saw a girl stand up in the middle of the field. "Joe! Joe, over here!" He grinned and ran over to her. "I thought you weren't coming. I've been waiting forever!" She lay back on the ground and Joe lay next to her. Tonight she was wearing a light blue sun dress and her hair was down in golden waves. She still had no shoes on. He, on the other hand, was still in all black.

"You look tired," she commented.

"It's been a long day," he said with a long sigh.

"Do you want to talk about it?" she asked, turning to look at him.

"Why not? First, I had to get up at 7:00am after only getting a few hours of sleep the night before. We had filming in the morning, recording in the afternoon, a radio interview at night…" and he went on to outline his day. As he talked to her, the stress he had been feeling lessened. "This is nice," Joe said after he finished my story. "I hope we meet like this every night."

Lilly rolled on her side to face him and smiled. "Me, too."

"What about you? How was your day?"

"Hmm…I told my mom about my dream last night. I tried to convince her that it was telling me to buy Jonas Brothers concert tickets for when you guys stop here on tour, but she wasn't buying it." He laughed. "Let's see…school was frustrating. I forgot about a test and I'm pretty sure I did really badly on it. I got detention for being late to school, and Amber and Ashley were making fun of me and Miley again."

Joe knew about Miley from last night but he didn't know about the other two. "Who are Amber and Ashley?"

"They're these two girls who pick on us all the time. They think they're soooo cool, but really they aren't. I think they're just jealous because Miley's prettier than they are. If you saw her, you'd understand…" Lilly trailed off with a smirk.

"I find it hard to believe that anyone could be prettier than you," Joe blurted out. As soon as he said it, he turned bright red.

Lilly sat up and looked stricken.

Joe felt panic starting to bubble up in him. Did he say something wrong? He sat up too. "I'm sorry," he apologized. "But did I say something wrong?" He was taken aback when she threw her arms around him and buried her face in his neck. And started crying. Oh gosh. He didn't know what to do, so he just put his arms around her and held her. "I'm sorry," he whispered. "I'm sorry."

When Lilly finally calmed down, she pulled away and wiped at her eyes.

"I'm sorry," he said again. Lilly let out a teary laugh.

"No, no…just…thank you. No one's ever said that to me before…well, Rico said I was pretty once, but he was insulting me at the same time so it doesn't count. But thank you. Even if you're just a part of my dream, it means a lot to me." Lilly hugged him again.

"If it'll help, I'll say it every night. You're pretty. You're gorgeous. You're beautiful."

"Thank you," she whispered. Her arms were still around him, and he had to admit that he enjoyed it. "Oh! I'm waking up! Bye, Joe!"

"Bye, Lilly," he whispered as she faded away. She was just a dream. A beautiful, wonderful dream. He lay back on the ground and thought of her. If she was just a dream, she was the best one he'd ever had.

So I hope you liked this one. The chapters will probably get longer as the story goes on. I'm not quite sure where exactly this one is going yet, so if you have any ideas, I'd be happy to listen and see if maybe I can incorporate it into the story.

Please review and let me know if you love it or hate it. Reviews make me ridiculously happy. Constructive criticism is always welcome, but flames aren't really appreciated…

Thanks for reading!
