The night died and morning rose. Miley awoke to the back of Lilly's head and her arms wrapped protectively around the blonde's waist. Miley let a devious smile spread across her face. She slightly adjusted her hands to the side of Lilly's ribs and began to tickle the blonde. Lilly jumped and let out a shriek, escaping Miley's grasp and falling to the floor. Miley could not hold back her own laughter after the blonde hit the ground. "Miley!" Lilly gave Miley a stern look, but Miley did not cease in her laughter. "That is a horrible way to wake up a person."
Miley sat up in bed, placing a pillow on the headboard, and leaning back on it. Suppressing her laughter to talk. "Sorry Lils, but I just couldn't resist." Lilly's eyes narrowed and she folded her arms. Miley folded her arms across her own chest and raised her eyebrows. "What?" Lilly did not speak, only pouted, giving Miley puppy dog eyes. Miley let her arms fall and rolled her eyes. "Oh alright, c'mere, I'll kiss it better."
Lilly smiled and jumped back up on the bed landing in Miley's arms and Miley kissed the top of Lilly's head. "Thank you and apology accepted." Miley let Lilly go and the blonde walked over to the bathroom, to shower, and change clothes. A smile never left Miley's face. She loved the fact that Lilly always acted like an innocent child.
After Lilly was done Miley hopped in the shower as well and forty-five minutes later came out changed. Lilly was lying down on her bed reading a magazine, Miley came over and sat on her bed. "So Lils, what is the agenda today?"
Lilly did not look up from the magazine and shrugged. "I don't know Miles, what do you want to do?"
Miley let out a sigh and picked at her finger nails. "What is there to do?"
Lilly closed the magazine and tossed it away on Miley's desk. Sitting up and sitting Indian style, facing her best friend. "Well there is tons, go to the beach, mall, Rico's, skate park…"
Lilly's eyebrows knitted together and her eyes averted to the ceiling while she thought. "We do those things all the time Lil."
"Yeah so? It's a Miley Lilly thing. What's the problem? I don't bore you do I?" Lilly raised an eyebrow but maintained a smile. Showing she was joking with her friend.
Miley smiled and rolled her eyes. "Nooo. But what is wrong with doing something different, out of the ordinary, not us?"
"Miley we are not normal people. We are ordinary during the day and famous icons at night. What being Hannah Montana is not exciting enough for you?" Miley did not answer. "What is it Miles? You can tell me anything."
Lilly stretched out her hand to grasp Miley's; when she did she gave a firm squeeze showing her support. Miley stared down at their hands, joined as one, then looked up at Lilly with a blank stare. "Nothing."
Lilly let out sarcastic laugh and rolled her eyes. She knew her best friend better than anyone and knew that when she said 'nothing' it meant something. "C'mon Miles, I know you. I know something has been on your mind for awhile now, I was just waiting for you to tell me when you were ready. What is it?"
Lilly stared intensely in Miley's eye, searching for an answer. Miley's eyes did not change. She created a barrier only letting Lilly get so far so she could not see her real emotion. "Lilly nothing is bothering me and nothing is wrong, honest."
Lilly let go of Miley's hand, and the brunette noticed the cold sweeping over it. The blonde let out a sigh, as she let her hand go. She knew not to push the brunette and eventually would tell her. Lilly just hoped it was sooner than later. "Well then, we could hang out here for awhile. I was supposed to meet Oliver at the beach this afternoon; you could come if you want."
Miley quickly shifted her gaze anywhere else but Lilly and grew defensive. She did not like hanging out with Lilly and Oliver together. They would talk for a few minuets and then it would be like Miley was not even there. Lilly and Oliver went into there own world when they were together and countless times left Miley out.
Lilly also moved her gaze to her palms and bit her lower lip. She knew her best friend was uncomfortable around her and Oliver, but she did not see the reason why it had to be. They were all friends, why couldn't they hang out like they use too? After her and Oliver started dating Miley was with them less, and Lilly missed her. "I don't know Lils; I do have some stuff to do."
Lilly looked in Miley's eyes, trying to get her attention, but Miley refused. Lilly new this was just another excuse to not be with her and Oliver. Lilly placed a hand on Miley's knee the brunette felt the electric current travel from her knee to her whole body, warming her. Miley finally looked at Lilly and saw pleading eyes. "Please Miley."
Lilly was not one to beg, but she wanted her best friend there. She wanted them to be the three musketeers again, just like old times. Miley sighed; she could not resist Lilly, and her soft blue eyes, so she gave in. "Fine."
Lilly painted a smile on her lips, like a little kid who just entered a candy store, and leaned forward hugging Miley. "Thank you Miles."
Miley returned the hug, feeling hurt and sorrow, but showed happiness. Knowing she could not nor ever have Lilly hurt, but seeing her with her boyfriend and always lovey dovey killed. "Sure Lils," Miley pulled away and Lilly leaned back. "So what do you want to do now?" Lilly opened her mouth to respond when the sound of her stomach grumbling answered Miley's question. Miley giggled. "How about some breakfast?" Lilly let out a small giggle as well as the two made their way out of Miley's room and into the kitchen.

Miley and Lilly walked down the sidewalk and down their way to the beach. The girls ate their breakfast and watched television the rest of the morning until the afternoon. Lilly drew in a breath and let it out slowly, shoving her hands in her short pockets. "So?"
Miley folded her arms over her chest and let her eyebrows rise and fall. Both new that the closer they got to the beach the more the other felt more uncomfortable. "So?"
Lilly looked up at the bright blue sky with a few passing clouds. "Nice day huh?" Miley looked at Lilly with a bizarre look, Lilly looked away from Miley and towards the ground. Lilly hated the fact that things changed once Oliver was around them, or when Oliver would be around them. "Sorry." Lilly mumbled out. She wanted the old Miley back, not the sad distant one. Lilly took her left hand from her pocket and grabbed Miley's arm. "Miles wait." Miley turned around and waited for Lilly to continue. "Umm…C-could you just try?"
Miley knitted her eyebrows together. She knew what Lilly was talking about. She did not like the fact things became uncomfortable around them once Oliver was there, but she played dumb. "Try what Lils?"
"Try-don't be-just-let's have fun okay Miley?" Lilly was lost for words. There were times when Miley would be cold and harsh to Oliver, Lilly did not want, or like that. But she never figured out why Miley turned that way. Lilly wanted peace and Miley…well she wanted to get away. Miley nodded her head and made her way towards the beach, walking silently until they got there.

"Hey girls." Oliver smiled as her saw Lilly and Miley approaching. He walked over towards Lilly and gave her a short loving kiss. Lilly returned it happily and Miley's stomach felt sick. "Let's sit." The trio walked over to a table and sat. "Hey Miles, been awhile what's up?"
Miley fiddled with her hands and bounced her right leg up in down. She made a quick glance towards Lilly, who sat patiently waiting for Miley to answer Oliver question. "Not much Oliver, just stuff."
Miley said she would try and she was going to, she would try for Lilly, but it wasn't working. Lilly smiled and grabbed Oliver hands, his attention going straight towards her, and ignoring Miley's attitude towards him. "So Oliver what's new with you?"
Lilly was going to do the best she could at releasing the tension and making sure it never came back. "Nothing really, just stuff." Oliver emphasized the last word, to mock Miley.
Miley's eyes narrowed and shot Oliver a cold glare. While Lilly bit her lower lip, held her breath, and gripped Oliver's hand tighter. If things were going to be peaceful again they would have to not poke fun at each other for awhile.
Miley's jaw tightened and she gripped the side of her chair. She needed to cool down, get away, she promised Lilly. "Err-You guy's want something to drink, my treat." Before either had a chance to say anything Miley stormed off towards Rico's.
Lilly saw Miley go and gave her a forlorn look. Miley could not help it. She could not understand why she had to be nice when Oliver could joke about her all she wanted. Why was she such a sucker when it came to Lilly? "What is her problem?"
Lilly's attention was back on Oliver as he spoke with confusion and leaned back in his chair. "Oddly Oliver, I think it's you."
Oliver's jaw fell and he sprang back straight up in his chair. "Me? What did I do Lils, I didn't mean to hurt her before, she just been so far away lately, it's like she is a totally new person."
Lilly played with Oliver's hand and stroked the outside of one of them with her thumb. "I know Ollie, I don't know what is wrong, she won't tell me. Just try and be nice okay."
Oliver looked away from Lilly to Miley who was getting them drinks. "Maybe I should talk to her."
Lilly leaned forward and kissed the brunette's boy cheek, getting a smile from him. "Thanks Oliver." Oliver turned to look at her, flashing her a smile, and placed a light peck on her lips.
