Title: Sela Stella

Rating: T. This story is another (eventual) Liley fanfiction, so if that's not something you want to read about, just hit the back button and it's all good.

Disclaimer: Disney is not mine (obviously) otherwise things would be a LOT different.

A/N: This has just been an idea that has been buzzing around my head for quite a while and I finally decided to take a break from my other stories and just get this one out.

Chapter 1: Reunion

"Sela Stella: Singing Sensation," Miley jealously read another headline out loud before tossing the magazine back in her bag.

"Superstar Stella Shines!" Oliver pointed out the cover story of yet another teen magazine to the disgruntled Miley.

She grabbed the magazine from Oliver and scanned the cover, in the bottom right hand corner there was a tiny picture of Hannah Montana with the caption "Also an interview with Hannah Montana."

"I thought you said Hannah was going to be the main article," Oliver commented.

Miley glared at the clueless boy and replied through gritted teeth, "I guess not for this issue."

"Yep this new singer, Sela Stella, boy is she popular. Last night on the news their main story was 'Sela Stella Steals Spotlight' and they made this weird chart where they compared her and Hannah," continued an oblivious Oliver.

"Not helping."

"Sorry," Oliver looked away from Miley's angry stare, choosing instead to grab another magazine that, surprisingly, featured neither Sela Stella, nor Hannah Montana.

"Booyah! Did you see that grind? I totally owned that rail!" An exuberant Lilly screamed.

The triumphant girl skated towards the fence where her best friends, Miley and Oliver, were waiting. The three friends had a day off from school, due to a teacher work day, so they had agreed to spend the morning at the skate park, the afternoon at the mall, and the evening at Hannah's big charity concert.

"Ever the skate chick, aren't you Lilly?" a pleasant voice rang out.

The trio turned around, they were met with the sight of a mysterious, gorgeous girl with flowing dark auburn hair.

"How did you know I'd be –."

"Lillian Rose Truscott, where else would you be on a school-free fall morning than the skate park? Where, might I add, you landed your first kickflip after - what was it - two hours?" The mystery girl crossed her arms and smiled knowingly at a surprised Lilly.

"Hey! It was only 1 hour and 37 minutes!" Lilly protested playfully.

"Yeah, you spent the other 23 minutes falling on your butt!"

Lilly's mouth dropped open and transformed into the biggest smile. She and the stranger embraced, giggling joyfully, and jumping up and down.

"Lilly you are adorable! Never change," the girl laughed and hugged Lilly fiercely.

Miley felt a pang echo in her heart, of all people, she had tried to change Lilly, for a stupid boy, why did she always seem to mess everything up?

Oliver tapped his finger against his chin, deep in thought, he recognized the girl from somewhere…it was a vague memory. Then it dawned on him, "Scarlett!"

"Took you long enough to remember me, Smokin' Oken," Scarlett released Lilly so she could give Oliver a quick hug and a peck on the cheek.

"Ah well – you know – I never forget a pretty girl," Oliver blushed and stammered while shuffling his feet.

"You mean till another one comes along," Lilly reminded him with a nudge in the stomach.

Oliver looked up to offer a retort, but just glanced back and forth between the girls and shrugged in defeat, he was helpless when it came to the opposite sex.

"Smokin' Oken and Silly Lilly, I've missed you two so much!" the giddy Scarlett squeezed her old friends in a bear hug.

Miley stood back and watched the scene unfold, feeling more invisible than the Invisible Woman. She let her friends and Scarlett hug for another moment before audibly clearing her throat.

"Oh Miley I totally forgot about you sorry! Scarlett, meet Miley Stewart, she moved here from Tennessee a couple months after you moved away. She goes to school with me and Oliver now," Lilly introduced the two strangers.

"And Miley, this is Scarlett Jones; she was my best friend since we first met in Pre-K until she had to move with her parents off to – where did you go again?"

"More like where did I not go? In the past year alone I've been to El Salvador, Darfur, and Israel. My dad is involved with the Peace Corps and my mom is on one of the United States' foreign policy committees, so I get around, and I do mean that in a good way," Scarlett explained with a playful wink at Lilly.

"I think you mean that in a good bad way," Lilly winked back at her long-lost friend.

"I'm so sorry Lilly and Oliver, I've barely talked to either of you in the past couple of months, I've just been running around the world so much, who knew it needed so much work," Scarlett shrugged with an embarrassed look on her face.

"It's all good, at least you came back to visit," Oliver joined in.

"Oh I'm here for more than a visit, I'm moving back!" Scarlett announced nervously to her childhood friends.

Lilly's mouth dropped open in astonishment; she squealed and enveloped Scarlett in another bear hug.

"Sweet!" Oliver proclaimed, giving Scarlett a high-five.

"That's great," Miley added, half-heartedly.

She was clueless as to why, but Miley had a really bad feeling about this new girl, Scarlett Jones.

A/N: Sela Stella, in its entirety, is an original idea of mine, which I also used in another one of my fanfics 'First Kiss' as the name of Miley's new car. But yes, all I ask is that if anyone wants to use the idea of Sela Stella, please please please ask me first, I'm very protective of my ideas. Anyways, hope I you enjoyed the first chapter of what is going to be a very long and unpredictable story, please review!
