The second chapter is a go! I just watched the Try Banks show with the Hannah Montana movie cast and now I'm totally devoted to this story! There were quite a bit of friendly gestures between Miley and Emily. ;) Emily even kisses Miley on the shoulder!! :D Miley couldn't keep her hands off Emily and they cuddle up immediately. XD

Okay, so after my little Miley/Emily rant...LET IT BEGIN!!

-

Lilly stared at her mom, her mouth agape. She definitely wasn't expecting that. "W-What?" Mentally pleading she heard wrong.

Lilly's mom, Heather, took a deep breath. "Your father's coming home." She said strongly, but her eyes portrayed her uneasiness and stress.

Lilly stumbled backwards. "No! He can't come back...I thought you said he was never coming back!" Lilly shrieked, still digesting the news.

"I know I did, Lilly. Back then that's what I thought too...but I can't keep him from seeing his daughter one last time before he leaves for Europe."

"E-Europe? He's moving to Europe?"

"Yes, Lilly. You just have to see him one more time and then he's gone for good." Heather smiled at the last part. She hated her husband for abandoning them all those years ago and now she was making sure he would never return.

Lilly swallowed. "When is he coming?" So many questions were rushing through her head, but this one seemed most appropriate.

Summoning up all her strength, Heather said those dreaded words she knew Lilly would get upset about: "Tomorrow."

But Lilly only nodded. "O-Okay...How long is he staying?"

Recovering from her shock, Heather answered, "Two nights. But don't worry, sweetie, he's staying at a motel a little bit out of town."

Lilly couldn't help but smile at her mom's efforts. She knew her mom hated her dad, but she wasn't sure if she was going to back her up or not. Her worries were quickly removed now. "Two nights, huh? Well that's no bad at all!" Lilly broke out with a full-blown smile sketched across her face. Little did she know, two days were all that was need to break her.

Miley stepped out of her dad's car. Having already removed her wig and covering 'Hannah's' clothes with a big overcoat, she climbed up the driveway and into the house. One couldn't wait to see Lilly again.

She couldn't concentrate on anything the first half of the meeting. She had a weird feeling of panic settling in her stomach that she'd never experienced before. But after an hour into the meeting, a sudden bubbliness burst through the worry. Something told her it had to do with Lilly. She actively participated in the discussion seconds later and quickly darted to the car after the meeting was over.

"Dang, darlin'! I've never seen you run that fast before! It was like seeing your Uncle Earl runnin' to the water fountain after havin' too many of Maw's homemade spicy chilly dogs!" Robbie Ray laughed as he came in after her and shut the door.

"Sorry, daddy! I just wanted to get home as fast I could so that I can call Lilly." Miley grinned apologetically.

"It's okay, Miles. I know how worried you are about Lilly." Miley opened her mouth to retort but she was cut off. "Yes, I know, darlin'. 'Lilly always comes first.'" Robbie Ray shook his head, a smile adoring his barely wrinkled face.

Miley blushed an closed her mouth. She glanced at the clock. "Oh, no! It's almost 8 o'clock already! Lilly will be here any second!" Miley yelled as she ran up the stairs.

"Take your time, bud! I'll send Lilly up when she gets here." She heard her father yell back to her before she closed the door to her room.

Throwing off the overcoat and shedding Hannah's clothes, Miley sorted through her drawers to find the perfect outfit that would send Lilly spooning. Miley settled with tight, light blue jeans and an orange low-cut v-neck shirt. She sat down at her vanity mirror and stared at herself for a few seconds. After a few moments, Miley decided to stick with the make up she was already wearing; the one she put on for her Hannah meeting. The doorbell sounded downstairs and Miley heard soft voices through her bedroom door. Nearly flying out of her room, Miley rushed down the stairs to meet her girlfriend in a stumbling embrace.

Lilly laughed while trying to keep herself balanced. "Miss me, Miles?"

"Only a lot." Miley grinned, happy to be back in her Lilly's warm embrace.

Letting go of the blonde, Miley had time to look at Lilly's outfit, and her mouth dropped open. Lilly was wearing a black polo shirt that gripped at her curves perfectly. A white khaki miniskirt with dark red stripes fell at mid-thigh. Miley caught herself staring at Lilly's perfectly tan legs.

"My god, Lilly...you look absolutely amazing!" Miley fanned herself to keep the blush that was fighting to rise onto her cheeks at bey. "Very hot."

Lilly giggled and ran her eyes up and down her equally attractive girlfriend. "Well I'm nothing compared to your gorgeous hips, babe. I'm sure that, even in the dark, everyone's eyes will be on you."

Miley blushed at the compliment, giving up on fanning away the embarrassment. "Not before they drool over those legs, Lils!" Lilly responded with a blush of her own.

Feeling a little bit uncomfortable with the compliments, Lilly pulled Miley towards the door, but she paused and turned around. "Bye, Mr. Stewart! We'll be back by 11!"

Robbie Ray spun around to look at his daughter and her best friend/girlfriend. "Okay, girls. You have fun now, ya hear?" He smirked at the two love birds.

Miley glared at her dad playfully. "Daddy! Stop embarrassing us!"

"No can do, Miles. It's my job!" Robbie Ray ran a hand through his highlighted hair. "Comes with the hair." Miley rolled her eyes at her father's antics and led Lilly out the door after a quick farewell.

"So, Miles, what movie do you think Oliver and Joannie picked?" Lilly asked, breaking the comfortable silence.

"Hmm...knowing Oliver he probably chose a horror movie...but maybe Joannie persuaded him out of it?" Miley said with hope in her voice. She's always hated scary flicks; anything with blood creeped her out.

"Don't count of it, Miles." Lilly said, destroying Miley's hope. "Even tough Joannie is powerless to Oliver's obsession of horror movies." Lilly giggled at Miley's terrified expression. "C'mon, Miles! It won't be that bad! Just think...you can hold my hand through the whole movie, I'll protect you."

"I know you will, Lilly. You always do." Miley gazed at her lovingly before pulling her into a soft kiss, straining to keep it short and sweet.

A loud horn next to them broke them apart. Miley screeched from fright while Lilly sucked in a sharp breath. She grabbed at her heart and looked around, setting her sights on the slick Porsche a couple feet away. "Mom!" Lilly barked. A faint giggling from inside the car told her that her mom was not at all sorry. Now slightly grouchy, Lilly tugged Miley to the and opened the door for her. Miley slid in and scooted the other side of the car, and Lilly soon joined her. Lilly pulled the door closed then proceeded to cross her arms and glare at her mother, who was still giggling at them in the rear-view mirror.

'She's so cute when she pouts.' Miley internally sighed as she watched Lilly's bottom lip stick out in a child-like style.

"Mo-om!" Lilly whined, puffing her cheeks out more. If someone held a five-year-old next to Lilly's face, no one would be able to tell which one was older.

Wiping tears from her eyes, Heather tried regaining her composure and said, "Okay, okay! Sorry, honey, but that was too funny!" Feeling another bubbly feeling in her stomach, Heather quickly covered her mouth with her hand. An odd silence followed, until an obnoxious "ppffft" noise sounded from the older blonde at the driver's seat.

"Mom!" Lilly cried, clearly embarrassed by her mother's behavior. "It wasn't that funny!"

Now wiping off her palm on her jeans, Heather responded with a playful grin, "I know it wasn't, sweetie. But, gosh, I haven't laughed that hard in a while." She suddenly turned sober.

Miley looked back and forth between the two blondes and raised an eyebrow. Lilly, too, had gone from pouting to blank.

"Anyways, what movie are you two girls going to see?" Heather finally said, lightening the mood a little.

"Well we're guessing Oliver chose a creepy, gory, and all around nasty horror movie." Miley said, scrunching her nose adorably to profess her dislike for scary movies. Lilly took her hand and ran her thumb over the brunette's knuckles. She winked. "But I guess I'll be able to live with it." Miley smiled shyly as she tightened her grip.

Heather smiled at the displays of affection. The car pulled up to the curb by the medium-sized movie theater. "Now you two have fun. I'll pick you around 10, okay?"

"That's perfect, mom. Thanks a lot!" Lilly said appreciatively. She opened the car door and hopped out and offered a hand to Miley, who took it without hesitation.

Squeezing her hand, Lilly answered Miley's clouded, questioning thoughts, "I'll tell you later, Miles, don't worry." Miley squeezed back before letting go and running ahead, grinning all the way to the ticket booth and to the couple waiting for them.

After all, everything's fine...right?

Ugh, that took longer than expected and shorter than expected. I've got so many ideas...I couldn't choose just one!

I have an idea of what I want to write about for the next chapter. I promise I'll write at least one more chapter by the 12th of May...then I'll be free! Summer is so close! I'm sure I'll be writing a lot...but I may also be hanging out with friends and my boyfriend. But I will make time. :P

The next chapter will jump back to the present time to explain things that will soon take place...
