AN: Thank you guys for the reviews on "Soulmate"!! I loved that everyone seemed to like the line where Kevin threatened to kill Joe. Ah….brothers. Hehe! Anyway, I hope you enjoy this fluffy one-shot. Don't forget to review!

And I'm still working on You and Me, but I'm kind of stuck with a song to use for the next chapter. But have no worries….me and Lissa are putting our heads together (like we did for chapter 5) and I should have the story posted by Sunday at the latest. I have how I want the chapter to go, I just need a song!

Disclaimer: I still own nothing except the plot. The song is "Ready To Fall" by Meredith Edwards.

Happy reading!

"Ready To Fall"

I get a feeling
I can't explain
Whenever your eyes meet mine
My heart spins in circles
And I lose all space and time
And now that
We're standing face to face
Something tells me
It's gonna be ok

Lilly couldn't help it. Here she was, front row at her best friends' concert, and all she could do was wish that they would hurry up and finish. She had already heard the same songs five million times. And every concert had the same screaming girls cheering on the girl and declaring their love for the boys, mostly a certain brown haired lead singer.

The same brown haired lead singer she was madly in love with.

Of course, he didn't know that. At least, she was fairly certain he didn't know that. Sure, they flirted, and they were pretty much always together. And heck, they had even gone out on a couple of dates.

And I'm ready to fall
In love tonight
Ready to hold my heart
Open wide
I can't promise forever
But baby I'll try
Cause I'm ready to fall
In love tonight

But Lilly wanted more. And she had decided that tonight was the night he would find out just how deep her feelings for him ran. Tonight, she was going to muster up all of her courage and tell him exactly how she felt.

Would this concert ever end?

I know you've been watching
Choosin' your moment
I've been dreaming of that day
No one before you
Has gotten to me this way
And now that
We're standing face to face
There's something that I need to say

Kevin and Nick had both told her that he liked her. Even Miley told her that. They all three said that he wouldn't shut up about her, that he constantly wanted to be with her.

But, he was shy when it came to this kind of thing. He didn't want to screw up anything. But, he wanted her to know, so he was waiting for the right moment to tell her.

Well, Lilly was tired of waiting. As much as she had dreamed about him telling her how he felt, she didn't want to wait any longer. Which is why she was telling him tonight.

And I'm ready to fall
In love tonight
Ready to hold my heart
Open wide
I can't promise forever
But baby I'll try
Cause I'm ready to fall

In love tonight

For the first time, she was willing and ready to give a guy her whole heart. She was willing to trust a guy not to break it. She had never done that before. The guys she had dated in the past never got to know the real Lilly Truscott. She always guarded a part of herself from them.

But he was different.

Nothing is certain
This I know
Where ever we're headed
I'm ready to go

The concert finally ended, and she got up and immediately made her way outside. She knew that there was no way she would be able to talk to him backstage. Too much commotion going on, and too many fan girls throwing themselves at him. So, she went out to the bus and stood outside waiting.

About thirty minutes later, Kevin, Nick, Miley, and Joe made their way outside. They were all laughing about something that had happened. Lilly loved how he looked when he smiled. She loved the sound of his laugh.

And she wanted to love the way he said "I love you".

The four performers approached the bus said hey to Lilly. Miley knew what she was going to do, so she motioned for Nick and Kevin to follow her into the bus. Joe was about to get on when Lilly stopped him.

"Can I talk to you for a minute?"

"Uh, sure Lil," Joe said, looking at her. "Couldn't we get on the bus and talk?"

"Uh, no," Lilly said, looking down, "This is kind of a private thing."

"Oh. Ok. What's up?"

Lilly looked up into his eyes. Those beautiful chocolate brown eyes. It's a wonder she didn't just lose all control right there.

"Um, I have to tell you something. Uh…" she was starting to get nervous. What if Kevin and Nick and Miley didn't know what they were talking about? What if he just saw her as a friend, or, worse, a little sister? She would never be able to live with the rejection.

Joe saw how nervous she was, and he realized that he was just as nervous as she was. It was now or never. And he chose now.

While she was trying to get her words out, he leaned over, and placed the sweetest kiss on her lips.

It took a few seconds, but she responded back, throwing her arms around his neck and deepening the kiss.

They pulled apart about a minute later, and Joe leaned his forehead on hers and just stared into her eyes. They both realized that they had just fallen head over heels in love.

They didn't know what would happen in the future, but they did know that they had each other, and that was all that mattered.

I can't promise forever
But baby I'll try
Yes I'm ready to fall
In love tonight
