I finally got this done! It feels so good! :) Sorry it took so long (what else is new, lol) Right away I got stuck on this chapter. It was so irritating. But not that long ago, it all came to mind, and I got it done. It may not be much, but it's still important to the rest of the story of course. Beginning chapters can be tough to write sometimes. Like I've said before, all my big ideas for this are a little later on. Not too much longer will things start to pick up. Now that I have this updated, I am going to work on the next and final chapter to 'This Is The Life.' Enjoy!! :-D
Chapter 3- Crazier
"Have you heard anything from Oliver or Joannie yet?" Miley asked Lilly as they walked over to their lockers. It was Monday morning and the girls were still in a blissful state after the lovely weekend they had shared together.
"Nope, not yet," Lilly replied; shaking her head slightly. "I swear if he hasn't asked her out yet, I'll do it for him."
"You don't want to push them, Lil. They're both stubborn. I'm sure we'll find out how their weekend went when we see them today."
"Hey, you want them together just as much as I do," she smiled.
Suddenly, a bright smile appeared on Miley's beautiful face. "Looks like we'll find out soon; here they come."
"Hey guys," Oliver dreamily greeted with his left arm slung around Joannie's waist while she herself was smiling as well.
"No way!" Lilly beamed. "You mean you guys finally…?"
"Yes, Truscott, we're together." Joannie confirmed.
"Finally! Oh this is great." She leaned in to hug Oliver.
"Congratulations guys," Miley told them happily. "Tell us how it happened."
"Well," Oliver started. "We went to the beach after the dance on Friday and just walked along the shore line…"
"And then he took my hand, looked into my eyes, and just kissed me. It was very romantic," Joannie finished, smiling up at Oliver.
"I try," Oliver proudly stated.
"We all have to go on a double date to celebrate," Miley gushed. "It will be perfect! We could go to Olive Garden, then to the beach…"
"We can talk about it after class, sweetie." Lilly chuckled at how adorable Miley was acting. "Let's get to class before the bell rings this time, for once."
"Where's the fun in that?" Oliver joked.
"I'll tell you where it is," Joannie smiled as she gently pushed her boyfriend in the direction of their classroom. "See you two next hour," she called out to the girls.
Miley and Lilly waved, laughing slightly to themselves and continued on their way to class.

During the second to last class of the day, Miley suddenly felt her cell phone vibrate in her pocket. Carefully, she pulled it out, opened it, and read a text message her father sent to her.
'Miley. The office will call you down soon. Minor Hannah emergency. Love Dad.'
Right as she flipped her phone shut, the intercom clicked on in the room. "Miley Stewart to the office please," Mr. Colbot, the school's principal, announced.
"Thank you, Mr. Colbot!" Mrs. Jacobs, the History teacher, looked up at Miley. "You may go," she smiled.
Lilly turned around, tilting her head up with a confused look on her face. "Where are you going?" She whispered.
"I'll text you in a bit," Miley whispered back. "I'll see you later on." They each shared a sweet smile before Miley headed out of the classroom.
Lilly sighed while turning back to her homework. She always hated it when Miley left during school. The up side was that the next class was the last one- Study Hall. A few seconds later her phone started vibrating inside her back pocket. Lilly reached for it and read the text from Miley.
'Hannah emergency. Fill U in later. Love you!- Miley.'
She sent a quick reply and then went straight back to her homework.

Miley looked at her reflection in her portable mirror while she and her father waited for Mr. Halvison, president of the record company, to show up. Miley put her mirror away and smoothed out her blonde wig. "Do you have any idea what this is about?" She asked.
"Not really." Robbie started itching around his fake mustache. "Dang, I hate wearin' this thing."
Miley smiled at her father. Then, Mr. Halvison walked into the room. "Hannah! Mr. Montana. Good to see you again," he said with a smile.
"Our pleasure, Mr. Halvison," Robbie replied.
"I'm sure you're curious of why I called the two of you down here in such short notice." Mr. Halvison took a seat at the head of the table.
"Just a smidge," Hannah smiled.
"Well," he began. "Your newest single Supergirl has been doing amazingly well and we were thinking of filming a music video for it soon. We wanted your opinion, Hannah."
"That'd be awesome!" She beamed. "It would be nice to have a new music video, right Dad?" Hannah asked while looking at Robbie.
"Absolutely. I'm all for it."
"Great!" Mr. Halvison started pulling out papers from his briefcase. "We have the usual contract here, but you can take your time, read them over, and let me know if there are any changes you would like to have happen."
Robbie took the contract. "I'll take a look at it now since we're here. It shouldn't take too long if it's the same as all the other ones."
"When does filming start?" Hannah asked.
"We are hoping within the next month," Halivson smiled at the teenage pop star.
Robbie smiled as well, signing his signature in various spots on the contact, then hading it over to his daughter so she could sign as well. "Everything looks good to me, Mr. Halvison."
Hannah finished signing the papers and handed them back to the man.
"Great!" Mr. Halvison placed the contract into a file folder, neatly placed it back in his briefcase and turned his attention back to Hannah. "There are still a few other things to go over if you don't mind."
Hannah gave him a warm smile. "I don't mind at all." To say that Hannah was excited was an understatement; she was ecstatic.

Back in Malibu, down at Rico's Surf Shop, Lilly sat with her two friends; Oliver and Joannie. It had been a few hours since Miley left for L.A. so she was hoping to hear from her brunette beauty soon. With a sigh, Lilly pulled out her cell phone.
Oliver smirked. "Are you really that bored without Miley?"
"What?" She looked up. "Oh, um sorry… I'm just curious of how the whole, you know… Hannah thing is going." She whispered the last part.
"Don't worry so much," he said while taking a bite of his nachos.
Joannie took a few herself too. "Things will go well. Miley will come back all smiles and tell you some good news or something."
"Probably," Lilly smiled. She was just about to put her phone back into her pocket when it started ringing out Miley's special ring tone—One in a Million. "Yes!" She shouted excitingly and quickly flipped it open. "Hey Miles!"
"Hey," Miley giggled. "Miss me?"
"Very much," Lilly responded.
"Miss ya too. You down at Rico's?"
"Yea, with Joannie and Oliver. Are you home yet?" She eagerly asked.
"Yup, I'm actually finishing getting ready to head to the beach. I'll see you soon," Miley said lovingly.
"Okay, can't wait." They both said their goodbyes and hung up. "She's on her way," Lilly informed. "Now I can focus on something other than you two being all couple-like."
"Oh please!" Joannie laughed in amusement. "You and Miley get so cutesy most of the time it makes me sick." She smirked, showing Lilly she was messing with her, like usual.
Rolling her eyes, Lilly took one of Oliver's nachos and continued to keep an eye out for Miley to show up.
A couple of minutes later, Miley came bounding down towards Rico's and smiled at the sight of her girlfriend. Miley's hair hung down in loose curls. She wore jean shorts and a light blue fitted v-neck t-shirt. "Hey Lilly," she smiled, leaning down to kiss the blonde on the cheek.
"Hey, I missed you," Lilly said after pulling Miley down onto her lap. "How'd the meeting go?"
"It went well," Miley started explaining. They all leaned in closer so Miley could talk softer about the Hannah issue. "They want to start making a music video for Supergirl soon," she smiled.
"That's awesome, Miles!" Lilly said with pride.
"I know I've known about this for a while now, but it's still weird to know about… Hannah," Joannie whisper-laughed.
"At least you didn't faint when I told you like Oliver did," Miley teased.
"Hey!" Oliver's face turned beat red while sinking lower in his seat.
Joannie started laughing hysterically. "That is so hilarious!"
"It's not that funny dear," Oliver pouted. "Anyways," Oliver cleared his throat. "That's fantastic news, Miley. When's the video shoot?"
"Within the next month. They still have to get everything set up and whatnot." Miley's head rested against Lilly's while she idly played with the ends of her soft blonde locks. "I'm so excited for this video."
"Me too…" Lilly's hands caressed Miley's thighs.
Oliver glanced down at his watch. "Well, as much as I would love to stay, I do have homework to get done."
"I'll go with you," Joannie stated as the two stood up from their seats.
Miley smirked knowingly at Oliver. "Have fun!"
The two walked off, Oliver blushing slightly, leaving Lilly and Miley chuckling to themselves. "Do you think they're…?"
"Nah," Miley cut in. "Most likely not. I mean, they just got back together."
"Yea," sighed Lilly happily. "We waited six months before we did that," she smiled.
"Six months and three days to be exact," Miley informed with a pleasant smile spreading across her face.
"I know, Ms. Technicality." Lilly leaned up to place a kiss on Miley's full lips. "Want to go back to your house to relax or stay here at the beach?"
"I say my house. Snuggling up with you on the couch with a blanket sounds pretty amazing right now."
Lilly grinned. "Sounds perfect."
Both girls stood up after sharing a long tender kiss. Miley watched with great interest while Lilly stretched. Without having to think about it, Miley softly said, "I love you…"
Pausing mid-stretch, smiling, Lilly replied, "I love you too." She reached out her hand to lace it with Miley's. Then, they were off to start a relaxing evening together.
A few minutes later, the girls entered the Stewart household where Robbie Ray was happily preparing himself a sandwich. "Hello ladies," he greeted. "Woulda thought you'd be gone longer than this, bud."
"I did too," Miley replied. "Oliver and Joannie headed out early to get some homework done. So, we came here instead."
"Do you have any homework?" He asked once he finished making his snack.
"I managed to finish in school. We both did." Miley and Lilly smiled proudly.
"That's my girl." Robbie, holding his sandwich, then headed towards the stairs.
"So, what do you want to watch?" Miley asked after her father disappeared up the stairs.
"Mind if we watch the sports channel? I want to catch up on what's going on." Lilly smiled sweetly, knowing Miley wasn't too into sports like she was.
"Absolutely." Grabbing the remote, Miley sat down on the couch next to her girlfriend, turned the TV onto the sports channel, and grabbed a blanket from the back of the couch. "Is the cuddling still an option?" She smiled.
Lilly gave a sideways glance at Miley; smirking. "Of course it is, sweetie." Miley's body molded against her own, spreading warmth through both of them. "So," Lilly started. "How's that song for your Dad comin' along?"
"Really well actually." Miley laced her hand with Lilly's. "I just have to finish recording it, mix it a little bit, and then it'll be done."
"He's going to absolutely love it, babe," she said sweetly, placing a gentle kiss upon the brunette's cheek.
"I sure hope so…" Their attention turned to the television as the topic of skateboarding came up. Miley snuggled up as close as she could to Lilly's body.
In the meantime Lilly's mind drifted to thoughts of the brunette angel lying in her arms. Her heart sped up slightly when she thought of sharing her life with Miley. It was everything she wanted. Senior year was their year to shine, but she couldn't help but feel excited for planned events following their final year of high school. Lilly was the only one who knew of her major plan, and with that she relaxed into Miley's embrace. There was no doubt that Miley made her completely happy, and knowing Miley felt the same way warmed her heart and soul. This year was just the beginning to what she hoped to be plenty more wonderful years to come.

"You lift my feet off the ground
You spin me around
You make me crazier, crazier
Feels like I'm falling and I
I'm lost in your eyes
You make me Crazier, crazier, crazier…"
