Chapter 1: Preparations
⌠I made it! I made it!■ Lily screeched on her phone call with Miley. ⌠I can▓t believe I made it!■
⌠Made what?■ Miley asked.
⌠Remember? I auditioned for Singing with the Stars. They chose me! Out of millions of people, they chose me!■
⌠Wow, Lily! I cannot believe it! So your singing lessons finally paid off. Oh! And guess who▓s going to be the mystery star?■ Lily paused for a bit but then said, ⌠Oh my gosh! Vanessa Hudgens! I love her! I can▓t believe it! I▓m going to meet Vanessa! EEEEP!■
⌠No, not Vanessa Hudgens,■ Miley told Lily, ⌠Me! I▓m going to be the mystery star!■
⌠No way! But wait, I thought they didn▓t repeat people. How did they let you do it again?■
⌠My dad asked them and was begging for a while. I just got a call from the company five days ago. When I asked why, they said they thought I deserved another chance.
⌠Yeah, remember last time? I mean, you were green for two weeks!■
⌠Thanks to you!■ Miley replied.
⌠Don▓t blame me, blame science. Well I have to go. I▓m still taking extra lessons. See you later?■
⌠Yeah, see you later.■ Miley said and they both hung up. Miley was so proud of her friend. She knew Lily wasn▓t good in front of big crowds. Last time, when their school held a singing competition, she wasn▓t very good. Miley hadn▓t herd Lily sing yet, either. Maybe the lessons really did pay off.
Miley had called Lily the next day and told her to meet her outside of Rico▓s Surf Shop. Miley had agreed with Lily to help her get ready for the day when both of them went on Singing with the Stars. It was in two days so they didn▓t have much time. ⌠Hey Lily!■ Miley greeted her best friend a Lily walked towards Miley and sat down in one of the tall chairs at the counter at Rico▓s Surf Shop.
⌠Hey■ Lily replied once she was settled.
⌠Enough chit chat though. Let▓s hear Lily Truscott▓s new voice!■ Miley told her enthusiastically.
⌠Ok,■ Lily said shyly, ⌠I▓ll sing┘. Bigger Than Us!■ Lily cleared her throat and began to sing the chorus of the song. ⌠We all wanna believe in love; we all wanna believe in something bigger that just us. We all wanna be a part, of the greater picture that▓s hanging in our hearts. Yeah it▓s bigger than us!■ Everyone near by who could hear her started cheering and going wild for Lily▓s new voice.
⌠Lily that was awesome! Those lessons really paid off. You are so going to win Singing with the Stars!■ Miley replied to Lily with shock.
⌠Thanks! I really appreciate that, Miley.■
⌠Come on!■ Miley said as she tried to pull Lily out of her seat.
⌠Where?■ Lily asked her, struggling to not fall on to the ground.
⌠To get our nails done, duh! You have to look perfect for the show! Then tomorrow we▓ll go shopping for the outfit you▓ll wear for the show the next day.■ As soon as Lily herd that, she jumped out of her seat and raced with Miley to the closest nail place. After the nail women were finish, the girl▓s nails looked fabulous. Ring, ring.
⌠Hello?■ Lily said into her phone. ⌠Yeah, ok. I▓ll be right there. Yeah, ok. Bye.■ Lily hung up her phone. ⌠My mom needs me to get back home. She said I have lessons again. Sorry.■
⌠No, it▓s totally cool. See you tomorrow?■ Miley replied.
⌠See you.■ Both girls ran to their houses. Miley was so excited for Singing with the Stars that she could barely sleep.
The next day, Lily went to Miley▓s house and they went to Malibu▓s biggest mall, Malibu Mall. Lily picked out a glittery halter-top and some sparkly jeans to match. Miley decided to wear one of her newer Hannah outfits she got last week. Tomorrow was the big day. Miley and Lily were so excited.
