Thanks for the reviews guys!…I'd love more of them, though! Here's chapter 2, although I'm not sure if I'll be able to put up all the chapters this quickly!
October 27, 2006
"Daddy, do I have to go?"
"Yes, Miley. You wanted this, remember? You wanted to be the big Disney star, and now you have to go and see people," said Billy Ray.
"Fine," Miley said to her dad. "I'll call you back later Les," she said into the phone and hung up.
"I thought you wanted to go," said Billy Ray.
"I do, but she was in the middle of a really good story, Daddy," pouted Miley.
"She can finish it later, you've gotta get your hair done," her father informed her.
"I know, I know, let's go," Miley said, walking out the door to the car with Billy Ray on her heels.

"Okay boys, just one more shot in this scene and then we can take a break," said Charlie, the video producer.
"Yeah, let's do this! 1, 2, 3, 4!" started one of them and the boys went into the second chorus of their new song. "He took me, to the future, in the flux thing, and I saw everything. Boy bands, and another one, and another one ... and another one! Girls there, with round hair, like Star Wars, float above the floor."
Miley and her dad walked in during the middle of filming onto a set that was mostly white, with girls in pink hair and some really cute boys playing guitar and singing. She assumed that these were the Jonas Brothers, the group that she came here to meet. They were a lot better looking than anyone at the studio had led on, and she was starting to regret not wanting to get here sooner!
"Alright boys, take a break. I do believe someone is here to see you," Charlie shouted, nodding over to Billy Ray and Miley. All three boys walked over to the father and daughter and introduced themselves.
"Hey, I'm Kevin," the eldest brother said first, shaking both Miley and Billy Ray's hands.
"And I'm Nick," said the younger one, after a pause of waiting for Joe to take his turn in the age line. Joe was just standing there, getting nervous as hell and trying to 'fix' his hair.
"Hey, I'm Miley!" she said finally, putting her hand out for him to grab.
"Oh, umm, I know who you are. You're Hannah Montana," he said, finally snapping out of the trance he was in.
"Yeah, I am," she said, a little awkwardly.
"Sorry, he's a little out of it right now," said Kevin, giving Joe a 'don't be an idiot look.'
"That's okay, I understand," Miley said, being very understanding.
"We're just on our break, we were going to head out to get something to eat, would you like to come?" Kevin asked.
"Daddy, do you want to?" Miley asked her dad, even though she really didn't want him to go with them.
"You know what, I'll just stay here. You guys go out and have fun. But be careful," Billy Ray told the teens.
"Thanks, Daddy!" she smiled and kissed him on the cheek. Miley started walking towards the door with Kevin and Nick close behind. Billy Ray, however, held Joe back a little.
"Just because I'm not there doesn't mean I can't find out what went on. Have fun!" her father said in a serious (but trying not too sound harsh) tone.
----------
Kevin, Joe, Nick, and Miley all walked into a small diner to try to avoid as much paparazzi as possible. They sat down at a booth in the back, Kevin and Miley on one side of the booth, and Joe and Nick on the other.
"The song you guys were singing sounded really great, what's it called?" Miley asked the brothers.
"Year 3000," said Joe, matter-of-factly.
"Cool name, I'm assuming it's about the year 3000?" Miley joked.
"Nope. It's about the year 2765," Nick said, without missing a beat.
"Oh, so you're cute and funny," Miley smiled at Nick.
"I do what I can," Nick shrugged, smiling back.
"Hey! I'm funny, too!" Joe whined.
"Sure you are," said Kevin.
They ordered their food and joked around and laughed the whole time. Joe was starting to get over his Hannah Montana thing as he realized that Miley really was nothing like someone he would be interested in; she wasn't even a real blonde! Nick, however, was really enjoying her company. He didn't get to meet a lot of people his age that were as mature as he was, but he'd found it in Miley.
"We should probably get going back to the set now, we've been gone over an hour," Joe said.
"Wow, we have been gone a long time. My dad's probably freaking out," Miley laughed as she grabbed her purse to take out her money.
"You are not paying, little lady," Kevin told her when he saw what she was doing.
"Of course I am! You guys are so cool. Let this be my treat to you," she said, still getting out her wallet.
"Not a chance. You are a treat enough," Nick said, grabbing for his wallet.
"Yeah, if we spent any more time with you, our teeth would probably fall out," said Joe.
"What?" Miley asked, chuckling at Joe's comment, forgetting to pick up on what Nick had said.
"Yeah, what?" Kevin asked his brother who wasn't making any sense.
"You know, 'cause she's a treat, like something sweet, that will rot out your teeth, and then you'd look like a hillbilly from Mozambique" Joe rapped.
"How do you come up with this stuff?" Nick asked his brother as they were all getting up. Nick paid the bill and Kevin left a tip; Joe really couldn't be relied on for things like that, and that's why Nick and Kevin got more of an allowance than Joe ever did, even though he never knew it.
----------
When they got back to the set, Billy Ray was the first to greet them.
"You guys were gone awhile; did you have fun?" he asked his daughter, and then looked behind her to see the 3 brothers, the middle one seeming to be quite nervous.
"Yeah, we did!" she told him.
"Boys! You've been gone longer than I allowed! Let's get back to this, please!" Charlie shouted at them.
"Sorry, Charlie!" Joe yelled back. "Hey, that rhymed!"
"Nice one, Joe. Well, Miley, it was great to meet you. Hopefully we're going to be around LA a lot more in the future. See ya around!" Kevin said as he hugged her.
"Hopefully!" Miley said back.
"Yeah, it was nice to meet you. Sorry about my idiot-ness. I don't really know how to control it yet," Joe said, as he hugged her as well.
"That's okay, Joe. I understand. I've had my moments as well," she replied. Joe and Kevin had walked back onto the set and were putting their white jackets back on. Nick was the only one she hadn't said goodbye to, and they were both standing there, not really sure what to say.
"I had a lot of fun today, Nick," she finally said.
"I had a lot of fun, too. It's not everyday I get to meet someone like you," he replied, gazing down at the ground and then at her. He hadn't been like this all day, but she was pretty sure he had just been putting on an act so his brothers wouldn't give him crap about it.
"I know what you mean. Let me know next time you're in town, we'll all go out and do something!" she said, stretching her arms out for a hug.
"That'd be great," Nick said, leaning into her and giving her a big hug. "Wait! How am I going to get a hold of you?" he asked, not wanting her to go.
"Here, I'll write down all my stuff for you," Miley said as she reached in her purse to get a piece of paper.
"Hurry up, Darlin'," Billy Ray shouted from the other side of the set. "I'll be in the car!"
"Okay, Daddy!" she yelled back. She finished writing down her AIM address, her cell phone number, and her house address in LA.
"destinysmiles15?" he asked, smiling at her.
"Shut up. I'm sure yours isn't much better!" she replied with a laugh.
"You'll just have to wait and see, won't you," he told her, putting the paper in his back pocket, and turning around to give his brothers a look when they started whistling and clapping. "Sorry about them."
"Don't be. I think they're cool," she said, looking over at them to see them waving to her.
"Wait until you spend more time with them," he said, getting her to focus back on him. "See ya around, Miley."
"I hope so," she replied with a smile, and with that, she turned around and walked to her dad's car. She didn't notice Nick watching her for most of the way, however, Billy Ray did.

"Brandi!" Miley yelled as soon as she stepped foot in the house. "BRANDI!"
"What!" Brandi yelled back at her little sister who was running around frantically.
"Oh my 'lanta!" You will never believe what happened. Me and Dad got there, and these white suits, so cute, and cute boys and darks hair, three of them, so cute, and guitars, and the diner, and we laughed, so cute, AIM, my number, so cute!" Miley said all in one breath.
"What?" Brandi asked, even more confused.
"She met some boys," Billy Ray said, walking in the door.
"Ohhhh," exhaled Brandi. She looked over to her sister who was upside down in the recliner, a huge smile on her face. "I told you you'd meet somebody."
"It's like I wrote 'See You Again' for him before I even met him, but that's exactly how I feel!" Miley squealed.
"Don't get too attached, Darlin'. They are musicians. They don't stay in one place for long, and they don't make good boyfriends," her father said.
"Oh really? I thought you made a great boyfriend, baby," said Tish, her mother, as she walked out of the kitchen.
"I was, uhh, I'm different. I was older," Billy Ray tried to cover himself.
"Come on, let her have a little fun. She just met them!" said Miley and Brandi's mom.
"Fine; but you let those boys know that I'm watchin' them!" Billy Ray said, leaving with Tish so the sisters could talk.
"So who did you meet?" Brandi finally asked her sister. Miley rolled off the chair and onto the floor next to Brandi.
"The Jonas Brothers!" she screamed.
"The who?" Brandi asked.
"The Jonas Brothers! They are this new band that are signed to Columbia. I met them today on the set of their new video. We went out for lunch and they are so cool, Brandi!" Miley said, getting excited again.
"So who's the lucky sibling?" asked Brandi, raising her eyebrows.
"His name is Nick, and he's so cute. He's my age, his brothers are older, but he's got this curly brown hair and he's a little taller than I am, and he's so nice! I gave him my number!"
"Really? Do you think he'll call?"
"I hope he does! I gave him my AIM, too. I'm just so excited!" Miley shrieked, getting up and jumping up and down.
"You certainly are!" Brandy laughed.
"What's wrong with you?" asked a 12 year old boy.
"Braison! I met the cutest boy today! He had brown curly hair and he--" she started.
"I don't wanna hear about it. You girls are so weird," he said, turning to walk back out of the room.
"You just wait until you fall in love, little brother," she said in a sing-song voice, walking up to him and pinching his cheek.
"I don't think so, I have more self control than you do, Miles," he chuckled as he left the room.
"And when it comes to Nick Jonas, I have no self control," Miley sighed.
Just then, Billy Ray poked his head around the corner.
"You better get some, then."
