Disclaimer: I don't own Hannah Montana or Miley Cyrus. I mean seriously, just logic here, but owning people went out with the 19th century. But just in case, I don't own them in the intellectual property sense either. Oh yeah, When Harry Met Sally, not mine either.
A/N: Sorry It took me so long to update, didn't anticipate the chapter being this long, but it didn't feel right cutting it in two, and there really wasn't a stopping point. I've also decided that I'll actually answer the questions in the reviews on here. Farah A, you will shortly see why Lilly would be mad. RAVargy, you are correct about both Miley and Lilly's screen names, and yes that was a really intense game, even though I'm not a big Vol or Gamecock fan. To everyone else, glad I was able to entertain you and hope I can continue to do so.
Miley got up, feeling that she had to do something. She couldn't allow herself to just watch her best friend run out of her life. There's even a chance she could be more than her best friend, she just had to find out. She walked over to the bathroom door. Taking a deep breath and trying to compose herself, she lightly knocked on the door.
"Lilly?"
"Go away" Lilly called through the door, sounding like she'd been crying.
"I'm Sorr"
"How could you do this to me Miley, I can't believe you'd trick me like that" Lilly cut Miley off, pain clear in her words.
"Trick you?" Miley was now confused. "I wasn't trying to trick you Lilly"
"Than what were you doing? Why would you lead me on like that?" Lilly now crying even more behind the door.
"I wasn't leading you on Lilly. I never knew it was you until just now in the living room. I swear." Miley replied, starting to realize that Lilly wasn't going to just abandon her.
"If you weren't leading me on, than you really randomly met Lacy in the Curious chat room?" Lilly's voice starting to clear and hope returning to her.
Miley hesitated for a second, realizing what she'd be admitting, "Yeah Lilly….I'd been in the room a couple times before, but hadn't really talked to anybody, than I found this amazing girl who seemed full of life and adventurous" Miley's face turned red, glad that Lilly wasn't on her side of the door as she admitted that she was bisexual.
"So that means you're," the door slowly opened, Lilly wiping tears off of her face, a small smile there now, "bisexual. When were you going to tell me Miley? I'm your best friend."
"Hey!! You never told me you were either, so don't get all righteous on me." Miley said, reacting sternly.
"I know, I know, I was just messing with ya Miles." Lilly said with a clear grin on her face. Miley smiled back, than thought for a second.
"So what does this mean for us Lilly? I mean, I've never actually thought about you in that way. I'm still kind of shocked." Miley let out, deciding she had to be honest with Lilly.
"Well, we had a good thing going on the computer, didn't we? And to be honest Miley…the only reason I was ever in that chat room was because of you. A few months ago, I just started feeling differently around you, and than all of the sudden it was like I wanted to spend every waking minute with you. I couldn't tell you this, and I didn't want to torture myself, so I tried looking for someone else. It's fate that I found you on there, I'm sure of it." Lilly replied hopefully, a pleading look on her face as she looked into Miley's eyes, taking in their depth and beauty as she saw the wheels turning in Miley's head.
Miley looked around the room, biting her lower lip and thinking. What if it doesn't work out? I'd hate to ruin everything by doing this. Than again, what if it does? I mean, Lilly is pretty amazing, so amazing that she caught my attention with her personality alone. Can two 16 year olds really make it last? Ughhhh Screw it.Miley looked back into Lilly's eyes and smiled, taking her into a hug without saying anything, holding her tightly, taking in her scent. Finally after a few seconds, Miley let go, pulling back but leaving her hands on Lilly's shoulders.
"Lilly Truscott, will you be my girlfriend?"
Lilly started jumping up and down, like a kid in a candy store. "Of course I will Miley" still bouncing up and down and Miley tried to hold her still. After a few more seconds, Lilly finally stopped bouncing, and looked back into Miley's eyes, just in time to notice that she was closing the gap between them, her arms sliding from her shoulders to down around her waist. Lilly closed her eyes as Miley tilted her head, and they shared their first kiss. No tongue action, no slobbering all over each other. Just a good ole fashioned, loving kiss on the lips. After a few seconds, they broke the kiss but their faces stayed inches from each other, wide smiles on each.
"I can't believe we're doing this. I mean, I never thought Lilly Truscott would fall into my arms tonight" Nervousness creeping into Miley's words as she spoke.
"If you're having second thoughts, you can take time to think it over" Lilly tried to say confidently, but the disappointment was clear on her face.
"Are you kidding me Lilly? Lacy was this amazing girl who could hold my attention with just her words for hours at a time and a contagious personality that I should have recognized. Lilly is this amazing girl who is always there for me through thick and thin and just so happens to be my best friend. Combine them and you have someone that I couldn't say no to, even in the worst of circumstances." Miley smiled as she saw the frown disappear from Lilly's face. "Come on, lets go make some cookies and finish watching the movie" Miley said as she took Lilly's hand, interweaving their fingers as she led Lilly to the kitchen. When she tried to pull her hand away, Lilly wouldn't let go, sticking her tongue out at Miley. "I guess if you don't let go of my hand we won't be able to make those chocolate chip cookies you like so much"
"Hey, that's not fair! You can't put food in between me and you" Lilly said, a slight frown on her face.
"You know you want the cookies, let go, and you can have as many as you want" Miley deviously replied.
"Hmm, only if you promise to cuddle with me on the couch later" The smile quickly returning to Lilly's face.
"You drive a hard bargain Lils, but I guess I'll have to agree" Giving Lilly a hug and a kiss on the cheek before tugging he hand away, Lilly letting go grudgingly. "Could you get the butter, eggs, and milk out of the refrigerator" Miley asked as she reached up and got a large Pyrex mixing bowl, than headed over to the cabinet, getting out the flour, sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, baking soda, chocolate chips, and nutmeg. Lilly watched for a few seconds as Miley began mixing the ingredients in the bowl, before she got out a couple of baking sheets, spraying them lightly with Crisco. The next few minutes went by quickly as they placed the cookie dough on the sheets, each eating some while they thought the other wasn't looking. After putting them in the oven, they went back in the living room and noticed the mess from Lilly tossing popcorn everywhere.
"Sorry about that" Lilly said, her face a little red from embarrassment as she realized how much she had overreacted.
"Don't worry about it, I'll clean it up, you just get us back to where we were in the movie" Tossing Lilly the remote to the DVD player as she went over to the closet, getting out the vacuum cleaner.
"You don't have to do that, it's my mess, I'll clean it up" Lilly started walking over to her to take the vacuum.
"Lilly say what?!?" Miley said, turning to face her. "Stop right where you are, turn around, and find where we were in the movie Lilly, or you won't be having any cookies, in fact, I'll burn them all" Miley finished sternly but with a slight smirk on her face.
"But…..but…." Lilly looked at her, hoping to see her break "Fine. You really are too sweet to me though" Sticking out her tongue before turning to find what scene they were at before her meltdown. As she was searching through on rewind, the vacuum clicked on, and after a few seconds it was back off, Miley dragging it back over to the closet.
"Hey slowpoke, haven't you found it yet?" Miley said playfully, walking up behind Lilly and wrapping her arms around her waist. Lilly leaned her head back resting it on Miley's shoulder.
"I see why you told me to do this, you knew it would take longer" Lilly giggled.
"Maybe, but it wouldn't be taking you so long if you'd just pay attention" Miley countered as she pushed Lilly's head up off her shoulder, showing her that she had passed the spot.
"It's not my fault, I got distracted by this really cute girl" Lilly sighed as she pressed the fast-forward button.
"Aww, good to know there's easy way to distract you, never know when that might come in handy" Miley said playfully, contemplating pulling Lilly in close again to distract her again, but deciding not to. Lilly finally paused the movie.
"Alright, movies ready, how much longer on the cookies?" Lilly spoke as she unknowingly licked her lips in anticipation. Miley walked over to the timer in the kitchen and looked at it.
"Still three more minutes Lilly" Lilly frowned at hearing this, but started to get out a plate, a couple of glasses, and the milk, making sure they wouldn't have to wait long. Lilly grabs the carton of milk and pours the milk into the glasses, looking up hopefully at Miley after she returned the milk to the fridge. "One minute, ya know patience is a virtue".
"Uh huh, and gluttony is one of the seven deadly sins, I don't care. Your cookies are like crack." Lilly said with a smile.
"Aww" Miley stepped over to Lilly and gave her a peck on the lips as the timer went off, getting her pushed away after just moments.
Lilly was making for the oven fast but caught a glimpse of the half disappointed look on Miley's face and stopped. She sighed and walked back over to Miley, taking her hands into hers, and tilting her head up to kiss Miley, letting her lips linger for a few seconds.
"Better babe?" Lilly said, looking right into Miley's eyes.
"Much better, now lets get some cookies" giving Lilly an Eskimo kiss before walking over to the oven. Miley opened the oven, putting on two oven mits and pulling out both baking sheets, setting them on the stove. Lilly quickly reached for one of the cookies then let out a cry.
"OWWWW, hot hot hot, damnit" Lilly cried as she moved her hand back and forth, blowing on it. Miley meanwhile was trying to stop laughing, taking Lilly's hand and leading her over to the sink.
"Hahaha, put your hand under the facet" Miley ordered, trying to catch her breath as she turned on the cold water. "What possessed you to try and grab a cookie? You watched me take them out of the oven." Lilly blushed at this.
"I guess I wasn't really paying attention to the oven." Lilly giggled and so did Miley.
"Another distraction before you saw the cookies?" Lilly nodded her head.
"I couldn't help it, Eskimo kisses are like one of my most favorite things ever" Lilly said, smiling back over her shoulder at Miley. Miley reached over and turned off the facet.
"I guess I'll have to give you more of them" winking at Lilly "but first, this is a spatula" Miley held up the utensil. "It is commonly used to take things off pans when the pan is hot" Lilly just stuck her tongue out at Miley, not laughing. Miley slid the spatula under one of the cookies, breaking it loose and holding it up for Lilly. Lilly gratefully took the cookie, taking a bite out of it as she tilted her head back, closing her eyes and letting out a moan of pure ecstasy.
"Mmmmm, they are almost as amazing as you" Lilly grinned, taking another bite. "Lets get the rest of these on the plate so we can finish the movie." Miley quickly obliged, tilting each sheet and scraping the cookies onto the plate, than took it into the living room where Lilly was waiting for her on the couch with the milk. Miley set the plate down on the coffee table, and slid in close to Lilly, taking the glass of milk she was holding for her and taking a sip. Lilly leans over and puts the plate of cookies on her lap, just as Miley put her arm around Lilly's shoulders, pulling her in close. Lilly picked up the remote and pressed the play button.
"So how many times have you seen this movie Lilly?" Miley asked with a quizzical look on her face. Lilly sat there for a few seconds trying to figure it out.
"More times than I can count" Lilly grinned "It really is a great movie."
"Uh huh, I sure hope so" Miley picked up a cookie, lightly dipping it in her milk, but instead of eating it herself, she held it just out of sight from Lilly. "Hey, Lilly" Lilly turned to face her.
"Huadfasdf" Miley shoved the cookie into Lilly's mouth before she could finish speaking. Lilly quickly chewed and swallowed, as Miley laughed at her.
"If that cookie weren't so good I'd be really mad at you." Lilly have glared but couldn't hide her smile.
"Ahh, come on, you know you wouldn't be" as Miley picked up another cookie, this time teasing Lilly's lips with it before Lilly opened her mouth and took a bite, looking content, she settled back into Miley's grasp to watch the movie. They watched most of the rest of the movie without incident, a few laughs and giggles spread in, with a lot of cooking eating, clearing nearly half the plate before setting it and their glasses back on the coffee table. They watched as Harry and Sally found each other at the New Years eve party in the movie, than all of the sudden Lilly got up, pulling the visual AV cable from the TV, killing the picture and leaving only the audio. She winked at Miley as she sat back down next to her, taking her hand and looking her directly in the eye, just in time to give Harry's speech.
"I love that you get cold when it's 71 degrees out. I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich. I love that you get a little crinkle above your nose when you're looking at me like I'm nuts. I love that after I spend the day with you, I can still smell your perfume on my clothes. And I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night. And it's not because I'm lonely, and it's not because it's New Year's Eve. I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible." Lilly finished out of breath, as tears came to Miley's eyes. "
"Lilly, that was beautiful." Miley leaned in, wrapping her arms around Lilly as tears rolled down her face and she put her head on Lilly's shoulder. With a grin on her face Lilly sighed.
"If it weren't for that New Year's Eve part, everything would of fit perfectly with tonight, oh and the part about me being here to because I want to spend the rest of my life with you" Lilly said, deciding she'd have a little fun with Miley, but didn't expect her to take it so harshly.
"Oh" Was all Miley said, hurt clear on her face. Lilly decided she'd end her little game immediately.
"Well of course I didn't come here to tell you I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I only came over here for a sleepover as a friend, but under the circumstances, I think I'll tell you that I do want to spend the rest of my life with you."
"Awwww, Lilly, you have to stop being so sweet. I don't deserve this from you." Miley said, blushing as she looked into Lilly beautiful blue eyes. Lilly just smiled back.
"You deserve everything Miles" Lilly pushed Miley onto her side, and they laid there holding each other on the couch. "I love you Miley". Miley sighed, playing with Lilly's blonde locks of hair.
"I love you too Lilly" With that they laid there, their eyes closed as they listened to the end of the movie and fell asleep in each others arms.

Robbie Ray woke up, feeling a bit restless after a dream about his departed wife. He looked at his alarm clock besides his bed. 3 AM, sounds like time for a late night snack. Robbie grinned and got up, walking out into the hall and noticed that Miley's door was still open, he walked over, making sure the girls weren't in there. Those girls must still be up downstairs. Miley must not want to have friends over, I told her not to stay up to late. Robbie let out a sigh, trying to plan what he was gonna tell Miley without losing his temper. As he walked down the stairs, all he could hear was music from the stereo. He stepped into the living room and noticed the TV was off, but still couldn't see the girls. They better not of snuck out, I'll have her hide. Robbie thought as he walked further into the living room.
Is that a guy wrapped up with Miley!?! What in the devil is goi…..OH.It hit Robbie Ray like a ton of bricks. That wasn't a guy lying on the couch with his daughter, it was Lilly….and that wasn't just some friendly little cuddling going on there. He grinned to himself as he thought about how cute and perfect the two looked for each other. He walked over to entertainment center, turning off the dvd player. Apart from Miley and Lilly's breathing, silence invaded the room. Robbie Ray smiled to himself again, than went over to the chair, taking the blanket off the back and spreading it over the two. Than he noticed Miley's special chocolate chip cookies on the table. Well alright, don't have to search through the fridge now. Robbie Ray took a few of the cookies, taking a bite out of one as he resolved to talk to the girls in the morning about what had happened.
