LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. Welcome to the newest installment in the Blue Lantern saga. Here's the long anticipated sequel to Miley Stewart; The Lantern of Hope. This is The Lantern of Hope 2: A Galaxy in Peril. Just the title alone makes it sound great, huh? So, I hope you enjoy the first chapter.
CHAPTER 1
Three's A Crowd
Rico flew into space, singing a merry little tune in a tone deaf voice.
I got sunshine, on a cloudy day
When it's cold outside, I got the month of May
Well, I guess you say, what can make me feel this way?
My girl, my girl, my girl
Talking about my girl
My girl
Smiling, Rico's ring began to beep, indicating that fellow lantern's were near. In the distance, he could see the blue and violet cage that Luanne and Mikayla were trapped in. Rico grinned and flew forward. Inside, Mikayla and Luanne weren't happy.
"Bravo, Luanne. With your 'brilliant' idea of letting Miley heal herself and go at her when she's at her most powerful, now we're trapped in a cage of hope and love. If we had gone with my plan, and destroyed her when she was at her weakest, we wouldn't be in this mess," Mikayla snapped. Luanne growled and got right in Mikayla's face.
"Listen, you moose-calling pop star, I didn't destroy her because my mentor ordered me not to. Sinestro never gives orders without thinking. He's got a plan for her and if this is part of it, then I'm going to do exactly as he says and I suggest you do the same. Capiche?" Mikayla glared at the Sinestro Corps member, thinking of a snappy comeback and ending up with none. Flying at the bars of the cage, Mikayla tried with all her might to break them. Luanne sighed.
"Save your breath, those bars won't budge. Trust me, I've tried," she said. Suddenly, a chuckle came from the outside of the cage.
"Well, this has been an enlightening conversation, Luanne, but I think it's time to get you girls out of there," Rico said. Luanne and Mikayla turned to see Rico floating in front of the cage, in an Orange Lantern uniform and wielding an Orange Lantern ring. Luanne and Mikayla gasped, not knowing what to say. Rico grinned, a smug, know-it-all look on his face. Pointing his ring at the cage, a beam came out and destroyed it. Luanne and Mikayla were stunned, as Rico smiled. Shaking the confusion away, Mikayla hovered up to Rico.
"I must say Rico, this is really a surprise," she said. The pint sized ego maniac grinned.
"It was meant to be, Mikayla. You both were taken out of action too early, and my new mentor has a proposition for both of yours. He knows that both of you want Miley destroyed so that she can't fight Parallax, but what if instead, you didn't destroy her, you just beat her to a bloody pulp so that when Parallax comes back, he can absorb her essence easily," he said. Mikayla remained silent, but Luanne hovered up to him and clapped him on the shoulder, grinning.
"Well, I don't know about Laira, but Sinestro accepts your mentor's proposition," she said. Rico grinned, as Mikayla hovered up. Glaring from behind her mask, she pointed at Rico.
"If I find out this is a trick, they're going to have a hard time identifying your corpse is a corpse," she said. Rico nodded and, without a word, flew back to Earth, as Luanne and Mikayla followed.

Back on Earth, Miley was planning a big surprise for her girlfriend. Lilly had gone to a skateboard expo in San Francisco, and wouldn't be back until later on that evening, which gave Miley plenty of time to prepare. She wasn't going to do anything special, just a nice dinner for two and watch a few movies, cuddling on the couch. Miley put a bowl of snacks on the coffee table and a few glasses of iced tea, then made a spaghetti dinner for her and Lilly. She then put on some romantic music and waited for Lilly to come home. A few hours passed and the headlights of a car pulled up in the driveway of the Stewart's home. Someone could be heard coming up the front porch stair. The door opened and Lilly stepped inside. Looking around at the setup of the house, she smiled.
"Miley?!" she called. Miley came out, wearing a pair of light blue flannel pajamas and holding Lilly's favorite flowers, a pair of white lily's. Lilly couldn't take her eyes off of Miley, who looked even more beautiful than Lilly had ever seen. Giving a seductive little smile, Miley beckoned Lilly over to her. Quick as a wink, Lilly launched at her girlfriend, kissing her with as much force as she could muster. When they'd finished, Miley smiled. Lilly could see the food on the table and smiled. Miley nodded. They silently ate at the table, never taking their eyes off of the other. Soon, they were on the couch, cuddling and watching their favorite movie. Lilly had been making small circles around Miley's back, and she groaned, her eyes closed in pleasure. Without a word, she motioned to the only button that kept her pajama shirt fastened to her. Lilly gasped. Miley leaned up and started nibbling on Lilly's ear, causing her girlfriend to let out a throaty moan. Before any words could be said between the two, Lilly pulled Miley upstairs, wanting to take advantage of her girlfriend's teasing.

Meanwhile, the villains headed back to the hideout that Luanne and Mikayla had used. Glancing around at the rundown little apartment, Rico smiled.
"It's not much, but we've got running water, cable TV, the plumbing works and there are three bedrooms," Mikayla said. Rico sat down on the worn couch and got a feel for it. However, there was one point of the story that Luanne couldn't wrap her head around.
"I still don't get it. Larfleeze duplicated his ring and sent it to you? Why would he do that? Larfleeze doesn't share his ring with anyone," she said. Rico grinned.
"Well, he found out that my greed equally matched his," he said. Luanne sighed, but decided to drop the subject. Giving his usual smirk, Rico asked,
"So what's the plan, boss?" Luanne sat down on the couch, pondering to herself. She knew that with Rico in the group, it would hinder Miley and Lilly, but it wouldn't stop them. She had to think of something else, something that would hammer the nail in the coffin, something that would drain both Miley and Lilly to the point of them being easily devoured by Parallax. She kept pondering, then smiled. An idea had finally crossed her mind.
"I know what we need to do," Luanne said. Mikayla and Rico leaned in, eager to hear.
"They say that 'Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned,' and Miley still thinks we're trapped in the cage in space. I'll wait until Miley leaves for a while, then pull off one of my oldest tricks. Make Lilly believe I'm Miley, then turn them against each other," she said. Mikayla sighed.
"Do you honestly think that Lilly will think you're Miley?" she asked. Luanne frowned, then cleared her throat and said, in her Miley voice,
"Oh, Lilly-Bear, I love you so much. Don't ever leave me. Please?" Rico grinned.
"That's perfect. That dumb blonde won't be able to tell the difference," he said. But Mikayla wasn't so sure.

Meanwhile, back at the Stewart house, Miley and Lilly were tangled in a mess of sheets. After hours of passionate love-making, they finally collapsed in a sweaty mass of sheets and entwined body parts. Miley's legs were wrapped around Lilly's, and their hands were clasped together. Lilly's head rested in Miley's neck, and Miley would occasionally kiss the top of Lilly's head. Neither of them said a word, they just stayed their in blissful silence. After what seemed like an eternity of silence, Lilly opened her mouth.
"Wow. That was amazing," she said. Miley giggled. Stretching and yawning, Lilly got up out of the bed and went to find her clothes. Miley leaned back in the bed, giving her a look.
"Ahem. Who said you could leave this bed, young lady?" Miley asked. Lilly smiled and shook her head, putting on her bra and underwear. Without warning, Miley got up out of the bed, the sheets going with her. Lilly grinned.
"Miley, stay away from me," she said, as Miley went running after her all around the room. Soon though, Lilly collapsed on the bed, and Miley followed. Holding Lilly's arms up in place and kissing her hard on the mouth, Miley used her other hand to try and unclasp Lilly's bra.
"Mmm. Baby, we, ungh , we really need to get up. We spent hours doing this, we need to get up at sometime,"she said. Miley took her hand off of the clasp on Lilly's bra and pulled away, smiling.
"How about we go to the beach, Lilly-Bear. Then I can ogle you in your bikini," she said. Lilly gulped as Miley ran into the bathroom, quickly snatching up her bathing suit. Lilly followed and did the same, putting on her bathing suit and then putting clothes on over that. Once Miley came out, Lilly ran out the door, giggling. Miley grinned. As she was about to leave, she saw her ring on the desk. She thought she should take it at first, but then she shook her head. What could possibly go wrong?
Oh, Miley, you're really going to regret that decision. Hope you enjoyed. Any suggestions on what the next chapter should be about, don't be afraid to review. Thanks everyone. Hope you enjoyed.
