Fiiiiiinally I have this up. Took me longer than expected. So, this is partly filler chapter, but it's definitely important to the story. Enjoy!


"Your uncle seems really cool Lilly." Miley says as I come down the stairs.

"I know he's so awesome. We should all do something tonight after he wakes up."

"Oh, I can't, I'm doing a radio interview tonight. Maybe tomorrow?"

"That's fine. I guess I'll just hang out with Uncle Rob alone."

"What about me?" Oliver butts in.

"Oh. Ok we could have dinner here or something. Hey, where's my mom? Did she ever come inside?"

"Yeah, she said she had to get to work real quick. She'll be home late tonight."

Of course. That's all she does anymore: work. I try not to let my disappointment show. Besides, how can I be down when Uncle Rob is here? "Well, more Rob to me then!"

We all sit on the couch and discuss things to do while Rob is here. Most things we think up don't seem cool enough for him. "Well, that new arcade opened at the mall. We could go there!" Oliver says enthusiastically.

"We could do that. Have a DDR war."

Miley rolls her eyes. "I swear, sometimes I think I'm the only normal one in our group. You, Oliver, Jackson…" she lands her eyes on me. I blush. She's the only one that knows I have a big crush on Jackson. And I hope she's the only one that will ever know. "And now I guess Uncle Rob. Great."

I give her a hug. "Aw, don't you know, being normal is over-rated. Besides, you're good at DDR. You dance. They even have some Hannah songs on the system."

Oliver looks extremely outraged. "You went to the arcade without me?!"

"Umm… yeah. I was at the mall with my mom, buying a birthday gift for my grandma. We passed the arcade and she saw Jackson and started waving all crazy. So he waved us to come in. We played some DDR." I put my hand on my heart. "I promise, that's it. And I haven't gone again. I won't go until we all go together."

"Ok then. Back to DDR. Miley, it will be fun."

Seeing that there was no way out, she caved. "Ok, Ok I'll go!" Oliver and I gave her a big squeeze. "Speaking of which, I need to get going anyway. Tune in at 6 ok?"

"Duh, like I'd miss my best friend AND favorite singer talking on the radio?"

"And my girlfriend?"

She smiles. "I knew I could count on you two. I'll see you tomorrow." She leans down and gives Oliver a quick kiss. He visibly melts slightly. If I wasn't so used to it, I would 'aw' at the adorable-ness of it. But I am used to it. So it's kind of annoying. Miley walks to the door and turns around, saying in her trademark low voice "and no funny business you two," to which we both shudder and say "ewww". She giggles and walks out the door.

"So Lilly. Tell me."

I can only imagine this will be a stupid question. "What."

"How old were you when you found out it's not good to like your family," he adds seductively, "that way."

"Ew Oliver! See, this is why I don't tell you things."

"Hmm. Was it about the same time you had a crush on me?" He runs his fingers through his hair like he's 'all that.'

I smack him with a pillow. "Yeah, that was me in my crazy days. I got help. I'm all better now. Can't say the same for Miley though."

He laughs. "She just has good taste. Come to think of it, she tastes good too," he says grinning.

"Oliver! Nasty! I don't want to know about that!"

"Right, like she doesn't tell you stuff about us."

"Yeah, some, but she doesn't go into that kind of… detail." I hit him again with the pillow. "You're so gross sometimes."

What I think dawns on him. "I don't mean like that! Dirty mind Lilly. Dir-ty. Serious question. Does he know?"

"Does he know what?"

"That you liked him?"

I blush. This is something I have never told anyone, not even Miley. So I'm not sure why I'm telling Oliver of all people now. "Yes, I think he does. Ok, don't tell anyone, but when I was about 5, I went up to him and kissed him right on the lips."

He laughs. "Wow. How old was he?"

"I guess about 16. He's 11 years older than me."

"So what did he do?"

He just kind of sat there all bewildered. And I did it in front of like all my family. So I guess he was pretty embarrassed. He just patted me on the head and said I should go have a talk with my mom. And that's when I found out it's not good to like family members," I say in the same tone Oliver had "that way."

Throughout this, Oliver is giggling. He then laughs harder and begins clutching his stomach. I give him an annoyed look. "Aw, I'm sorry Lilly. But come on, it's pretty funny." I smile. Ok, it's kind of funny. "I promise, I won't tell," he says with all sincerity.

"Good." I pick up the remote and turn on the TV. "Let's just watch TV till Uncle Rob wakes up."
