Chapter One: That Was Then, This is Dumb

Miley and Michael were out at the mall shopping, well, Miley was shopping, Michael was busy holding her purse, and waiting as she tried on what seemed to be almost EVERYTHING in the store. Miley looked over at her blonde haired boyfriend, and saw that he was really bored, that or he was fighting to stay awake. Miley just sighed, shaking her head with a laugh as well, and walked over to him.

"Is everything alright over here?" Miley asked him.

"Sure." Michael said, struggling to not to sound like he was really bored.

"Michael, I appreciate you coming here with me." Miley said kissing him. Michael just smiled at her, but he really did feel out of place here in a clothing store for girls.

"Miley, I am so uncomfortable here, so please, can I go someplace where I don't feel like a deviant for being there?" Michael asked in an almost pleading tone of voice. Miley looked around as various girls looking at him and flirting with Michael. Of course, he didn't flirt back.

"Michael. I can finish up here. Go on and do whatever you want." Miley said. Michael smiled, and gave her a hug.

"Call me when you are finished." Michael said, giving her a kiss on the cheek. He gave Miley back her purse, and disappeared into the other parts of the mall. Miley just smiled at him, and went back to what she was doing on her own.

Miley went to look at another group of clothes that she liked. When she found something that she liked, he headed right towards the fitting room. She was so preoccupied, that she didn't notice when she bumped right into someone on her way there.

"Sorry. My bad." Miley said.

"No problem, Miley." A familiar voice said to her.

"Wait. How did you know who I am?" Miley asked the stranger. She looked up, and saw a familiar set of blue eyes, a overfamiliar head of short sandy brown, medium length hair, and some very familiar set of pure blue eyes.

"Oh, my god. Travis?" Miley said in a bona fide surprised voice.

"Yeah, it's me. Surprise to see you here, though." Travis said helping her off the ground.

"Well, it's good to see you too. But what are you doing here in Malibu?" Miley asked him.

"I just moved out here, I had no idea that I was going to run into you." Travis said, smiling at his old acquaintance.

"So, what has been going on with you lately?" Miley asked him. "Dating anyone?"

"No. Not at the current time." Travis said. "What about you? What's been going on with you lately?"

"Nothing much. Nothing important, really. Man, I just can't get over seeing you here again." Miley said, hugging him.

"Yeah, do you remember the last time that we were together?" Travis asked her. Then Miley's happy expression turned into a sad one.

"Yeah..." Miley said, flashing back to that faithful night in Tennessee...

TENNESSEE, 2 YEARS EARLIER...

Miley walked the short way to Travis's house, knowing what she was going to tell him was really going to hurt him. She had to end their relationship, because not only was she moving to Malibu, in California, she knew that a long distance relationship was either going to fail or not going to work right or at all. Once she reached his front porch, she knocked on his door, and Travis stepped out, greeting her with a hug and a kiss. Miley broke away, and sat on the porch. Travis knew then that something was wrong.

"Miley, what is wrong?" He asked, wrapping an arm around her.

"I am going to be moving away." Miley said, still not looking at him.

"What?" Travis said in totaland complete disbelief. "When?"

"About a month from now." Miley said. Travis just sat there with a unexpressive look on his face, then it dawned on him why she was here.

"You are here to break up with me, aren't you?" Travis asked her. He knew that is the reason that she was here. He only asked that to brace himself for the answer, and to soften the blow when it came.

"It wouldn't work out, a long distance relationship." Miley said in a tormented toneof voice. Travis just smiled sweetly, and gave her one last kiss.

"Well, I wish you luck in Malibu, and if we meet again, promise me that we can pick up right where we left off.

"Sure." Miley said. She gave him one last kiss, and walked away. She knew that in her mind, she was going to see him again.

And she was right.

Miley just sat there, looking at her former boyfriend. He smiled back at her, signaling that he still remembered the promise that they made to each other a few years earlier. Miley knew that there was still some unfinished business that they had with each other, but Miley had a problem, though.

Michael.

"Hey, let's exchange numbers so we could stay in contact with each other." Travis said, taking out his cell phone.

"Alright, I don't see why not." Miley said, still thinking about what her current boyfriend might say about this.X

Michael finished looking in the nearby Game House, paid for what he wanted to buy, and walked out of the store. He walked the small walk towards the place. He walked to where he last saw Miley, and saw her talking with someone about his age. They were talking and going on as if they were good friends. They shared a hug, and the guy walked away. Michael sighed, and walked over to her.

"Who was that?" Michael asked her.

"That guy? One of my old friends from Tennessee, Travis." Miley asked. "Why? Are you jealous?"

"No. I just wanted to know who that guy was, that's all." Michael said, calming down a little bit. "Are you ready to go?"

"Yeah, let's go." Miley said, knowing that this was a problem that was going to get really big as time went on.
