Disclaimer: I do not own Hannah Montana OR Zoey 101. If I did, trust me, Miley and Jamie Lynn would not be in the spotlight. Oh, and Mitchel Musso and Sean Flynn would be so mine, but anyway…

"We're what?!"

"Lilly, please don't fight me on this!"

"I'm in high school! Have you not seen all those stereotypical teen movies? We can't move!!"

"Lillian Rose Truscott, I am your mother and you will do what I say! Adam's job is transferring him to Helsinki and we're going with him!"

Lilly Truscott sat on her bed hugging Mr. Wugglebear and trying to keep from crying. Her mother on the other hand was standing in the doorway, livid about Lilly's reaction to the news. Her stepfather, Adam Guthrie, was waiting downstairs while watching Lilly's half-sister, 16-month-old Meghan.

"Why mom?" she asked quietly, her voice breaking. Her mom calmed down and sat next to her on the bed.

"Oh sweetie, you didn't do anything wrong. Adam has been waiting for this promotion for years. This is an opportunity we just can't pass up."

"But mom, I don't want my senior year to be in Hell."

"It's Helsinki sweetie, in Finland."

"It's not Malibu mom, and that's what matter's most. What about Miley, and Oliver, and Jackson, and Matt, and Sarah…"

"Sweetie, I'm sure you'll make friends in Finland…"

"But mom, my friends are in Malibu. Especially Oliver! We've been planning to graduate together since kindergarten."

Her mom thought for a second, then made a decision.

"I will give you one other option Lilly. Your father hasn't had custody of you since the divorce, but you only have one year of high school left. You can stay in Malibu if you go live with your father."

This offer was not as pleasing as it sounded. Her dad was a struggling artist that lived in a one-bedroom apartment. Usually she only saw him every couple of months. It was awkward between them. They had very little in common besides DNA. The thought of going to live with the man was almost insane, but she had to consider it. Otherwise she would be spending her senior year in Hell, sorry, Helsinki.

"Can I think about it?"

"Sure honey, we're leaving in about a week though, so you may want to start packing either way."

"A week?"

"Adam's company wants him to oversee a project that starts in two weeks and we need to be able to settle in before he starts working."

"Okay. Can I call Miley over?"

"Sure honey, maybe she can help you pack."

"Thanks mom…" her mother walked out of the room and Lilly picked up her cell phone.

Her best friend picked up on the second ring, "Um, Lilly?"

"Yeah, can you come over like now, I need you."

"Why Lilly, what's wrong?"

She took a deep breath and wiped a tear from her face.

"Please Miley, just come over."

"I'll be there."

Ten minutes later Lilly heard a knock at her bedroom door.

"Come in!"

It was Miley. She had a worried air about her; she knew something was wrong.

"Lilly, tell me what's wrong. Why are you acting like this?"

Another tear rolled down Lilly's face. She wiped it away.

"I'm moving."

"Oh Lilly, I'm sorry. But moving really isn't that bad…" she said, considering her move from Tennessee.

"Miles, I'm moving to Finland." Her mouth dropped open.

"Like the Finland in Europe? Like the one next to Sweden."

"Yeah, that one."

"So you're moving…" Miley said awkwardly.

"Well yeah, unless…"

"There's an unless! You didn't tell me there was an unless!"

"My mom said that I could move in with my dad…"

"Wow. This is one of those damned if you do, damned if you don't situations, isn't it?"

"Pretty much…"

"Do you know what you're going to do yet?"

Lilly shook her head, "I wanted to ask around you know, see what everybody thinks…"

"I guess that's a good idea. Lilly…" Miley didn't know if she should ask.

Lilly looked up, her eyes shining with tears.

"Hmm…"

"Does Oliver know?"

This is where Miley knew something that Lilly wasn't aware of. Miley knew that Oliver liked Lilly more than she knew, maybe even loved her, and that her leaving would hurt him badly. It would break his heart.

"No. I need to figure out how to tell him. I mean, we've been planning to graduate together for as long as I can remember. Now, a year before we're there, I leave. Oh Miley, I don't know what to do!"

"I don't know what to tell you. But I'll miss you if you leave."

"I'll miss you too."

"How long do you have? A couple months?"

"Mom says we're leaving really early Sunday morning…"

"But Lilly, today is Sunday! You're leaving in a week?!"

"Yeah, isn't that great?" she said dripping in sarcasm.

"Are you going to be at school tomorrow?"

"Yeah, I have to talk to people don't I?"

"Like Oliver?" Miley said, looking up from the loose string on the comforter that she had been playing with.

"I'll work on it. I don't know Miley, his opinion counts most of all."

"Well Lilly, I still have homework to do. Will you be okay?"

She nodded, "Yeah, I just need to think."

Miley walked toward the door but Lilly stopped her.

"But Miley…" she turned around "…don't say anything to Oliver, please?"

"Fine, but Lilly, he needs to know."

"And he will before Sunday, I promise, okay?"

"See you tomorrow"

Once Miley left, Lilly started packing. Packing away all her memories as she tried to pack away her thoughts. It was too early to face them.


"So Sarah, what do you think?"

Lilly, Miley, and Sarah were sitting at a table at Rico's discussing Lilly's present situation. It was Wednesday and Lilly had yet to make a decision, or tell Oliver.

"Oh man, I just wish it was me who was moving to Finland!"

The other girls looked at each other and Miley said what they were both thinking.

"Uh, why?"

Sarah finished taking a sip out of her water bottle and was very persistent with her answer.

"Finland is one of the least polluted countries on Earth. It's very eco-friendly there."

Lilly pretended she completely agreed. Come to think of it, it may be nice to live in a place with actual fresh air.

"Thank you for the advice Sarah, I appreciate it. I'm going to go ask Jackson for a refill. You guys want anything?"

"No thanks Lilly" Lilly got up and went over to the counter.

"Sarah!"

"What?"

"You are supposed to be encouraging her to stay, not hit the road."

"Sorry, if it was anywhere but Finland…"

"Sarah!"

"Okay, fine. I mean I will miss her, but Finland…"

"Sarah…"

"Got it. Bad Finland, BAD!!!"

Lilly started to walk, smoothie in hand, toward the table.

"Guys, I've got to go pack. I'll see you later."

"Okay Lilly, bye."

She walked home by herself, trying to figure out how to tell Oliver.

She was almost to her front porch when she heard someone calling her name. She turned around to see Oliver running down the sidewalk. He ran up to her and panted to catch his breath. Once he had, he spoke.

"I went to Rico's and Miley said that you need to talk to me. She said it was important."

"It is…but I want to tell you tomorrow. Do you think we could have a movie night, just you and me?"

"Sure, my parents are taking Scott to look at colleges. They'll be gone until Saturday night. You can come over to my house. We'll have it all to ourselves." He smiled at the thought.

"Alright Oliver, mom and Adam want me to watch Meghan so…I'll see you tomorrow, okay?"

"'kay Lilly Lou, counting the minutes…" he smirked and she had a strong urge to hug him.

She put her arms around him and whispered into his chest, "I'm going to miss you…"

"Lilly, you'll see me tomorrow. Wow, someone is being very clingy…"

She smiled and let out a forced giggle, "Yeah, right. I'm going to need to go into Donut rehab."

"That's not very nice", he said with mock anger.

"You know I was kidding Oliver. I love you."

His heart jumped, but then his brain kicked in as he realized what she meant. He was her best friend, she loved being his best friend. Not, well…

"Alright Oliver, I've gotta go watch the drool monkey", she said as she backed toward the door.

"Just be glad that Meghan is still cute, I have Scott."

"Good point. Well Oliver, I guess I'll see you tomorrow."

"Arrivederci", he said as he turned and headed for his house, smiling as he went.


Lilly lay on her bed, thinking about the decision she had to make. She was nowhere near decided on the matter.

On one side, she could stay in Malibu with her dad. Evan Truscott was not the most dependable person in her life by any means. She looked up at the painting on her wall. It was one of her dad's. It was beautiful. It was a little girl, obviously her, in a field of lilies. It was a present from him on her 13th birthday.

She knew her dad loved her, but he was immature. He lived in a one-bedroom loft that was almost never clean. Once in a while she would go over there and clean up a little, but that was different than actually living in her dad's bachelor pad. Sleeping on her dad's couch did not seem appealing at this moment in time.

But then, she could still graduate with her friends. It was hard imagining what it would be like not to watch Oliver cross the stage and to follow him moments later. She had had this picture in her head since 3rd grade. Miley was right before her when she pictured it now, but Miley was only added on in 7th grade.

Then there was the option of moving. She could move to Helsinki with her mom, but she would have to make new friends and learn Finnish. Well, according to her mom, the school she was going to would be English-speaking, but anywhere else she would just be a foreigner who didn't know the language. She would be an outsider.

She was taken by surprise by her sister, whose head popped above the edge of her bed suddenly without warning. The little girl, who she had been occupying with a Barney DVD, seemed to want to join her on the bed. She lifted the little girl and sat her on the bed. She watched as Meghan rubbed her eyes. It looked like baby girl needed a nap. Lilly turned off the TV and lay down on the bed. Her little sister took it as it was intended and laid down next to her. She rubbed Meghan's back until her little eyes fluttered shut. She smiled as her little sister slept.

She would miss this if she stayed she realized suddenly. Though she had been an only child for fifteen years, she was starting to grow accustomed to have Meghan to watch out for.

She would miss her mom and Adam too. It had been her and her mom for nine years between her parent's divorce and her mom's marriage to Adam. She and her mom shared a bond that had yet to be broken, and she wasn't sure she was ready to sever that bond. And Adam was starting to think of her as his other daughter. He was more of a father figure than her dad was, not like that was a stretch, and she respected him. It was hard to think of a life without this, without them.

This was the hardest decision she had ever had to make. She was being split between her family and her friends in a battle that would not end great either way. There was no way she could make this decision on her own.

She couldn't ask her mom, who she knew would tell her to finish packing so they could leave for Europe. She couldn't ask Miley, who, being the drama queen that she was, would make things worse than they already were. There was only one other person, the one she trusted the most.

If Oliver told her to stay, she would stay. No matter how empty-headed he could be at times, he had the best judgment of anyone she knew. She needed him.


"So, Oliver, Lilly is moving to Finland. What's with that?"

Oliver was sitting in fourth hour. There was a very senile sub, so the entire class was talking. Oliver was trying to finish a Spanish review which was due next hour. He was being interrupted by Devin, the guy who sat in front of him.

He laughed at his friend's cluelessness.

"Lilly is not moving. Who did you even get that from?"

"Well, Mitchel heard it from Emily, who heard it from Destiny, who heard it from Jason, who heard it from Cody, who heard it from Selena, who…"

"Got it. Rumor mill. Wasn't that so much easier?"

"Just trying to get the facts straight"

"Well, they're not. Lilly isn't moving."

"I'll take your word for it. You are her boyfriend after all?"

"Wow, you really don't have your facts straight. Lilly are not and have never dated."

"Sorry, I only assumed…"

"Dejeme solo!"(Translation: "Leave Me Alone!")

"Got it! Geez, someone is testy today."

Oliver went back to translating the rest of his Spanish homework, finishing barely before the bell. He picked up his books and headed toward the Spanish classroom down the hall. He was almost there when he was stopped by two of his friends from the soccer team, Andy and Eric.

"So, Lilly is moving. When did that happen?" Andy said.

"Yeah, and Finland. Why Finland?" Eric added.

Oliver shook his head, "Where are you guys hearing this crap? Lilly is not moving."

The other two looked at each other and nodded.

"Sorry, just a little bit of misinformation", Eric said.

"Yeah. So, are you going to be at practice today?"

"You know it!" he said as he high-fived both of them. They bell rang and they all ran to their classrooms. He made it into the classroom right before Mr. Irvin closed the door.

He slid into his desk, passed his homework up, and proceeded to draw hearts in his notebook. He knew this was a girly thing to do, but he didn't care. He drew the shapes perfectly without effort; an achievement that only came with practice.

As soon as Mr. Irvin left the classroom to go make copies, he felt a tap on his shoulder. It was Rob, Sarah's boyfriend. He was the regular Greenpeace, "Save the Whales" type of guy that was perfect for Sarah.

"So, how are you taking it?" he asked.

"Taking what? There's nothing wrong."

"Either you're in denial or you're taking this better than I thought."

"Taking what? What's wrong?" he asked, confused.

"That Lilly is moving. How are you taking this so well?"

"Where is this rumor coming from?! Lilly is not moving! She would have told me!" Oliver said as he tried to keep his voice down.

"Lilly didn't tell you she was moving? She told Sarah. I'm sorry man. This isn't a rumor." He said, honestly sympathetic.

It finally hit Oliver that this was true. Lilly was moving to Finland without consulting him. They were supposed to be BFF's, best friends FOREVER. How could she hide something like this from him?

OOH, Now they all know she's moving. So yeah, these next few chapters are going to be so 'Goodbye Zoey?', but then I will take off, honestly. So what do you think? I honestly think that this is the longest chapter I have ever written, and I can almost promise you that every chapter will not be this long, especially since this monster one took me like four days. Well anyway, please review and tell me if there's a point in continuing my little Loliver story.

Always, xxaccebxx
