Ok chapter 4. I decided to continue it. It's right before senior prom (a year later). Lilly, Miley, and Oliver made up and are the best of friends again. Lilly and Miley are shopping for dresses…

Lilly's POV:

Miley grabbed my arm and dragged me into yet another dress shop. "Come on Lilly! I saw a pretty one!" she said over her shoulder. "All right, all right." I said taking my arm back. She had already tried on countless dresses. She wanted to look good for Jake. I rolled my eyes as she grabbed about 4 different dresses and went into the dressing room. A few minutes later she came out with one of the dresses on.

It was silver with a cinched top and a poofy skirt. She looked terrible. I shook my head. "You're right. It makes my thighs look huge!" she exclaimed, looking in the mirror then closing the door again. I laughed a little. She came out again in a black dress with glitter along the hems; it's the same cut and length as her red one from the 70's dance. I grinned at her. "This one!" she shrieked, with a gigantic smile on her face. I giggled and she went in and changed. Once she came back out she smiled at me with the dress over one arm. "Okay, let me pay for this and then we have to find you a dress!"

I giggled and ran into another store once Miley was done. I had had my eye on this dress for ages. I grabbed Miley's wrist and took her to this dress. It was a dark green halter dress. It was a little past knee-length so it wasn't to short either. I found my size and put it up to my body for Miley. "Lil, you look gorgeous!" I grinned at her and put the dress back on the rack. "What are you doing? Go try it on!!" she said excitedly. I laughed and took the dress into the dressing room. I put it on and looked in the mirror.

It had some cleavage but not too much and it fit perfectly. I walked out and did a little twirl. I heard Miley "eep" and knew I was getting it. I changed back into my normal clothes and draped the dress over my arm. I checked the price tag as I walked out and stopped with my mouth wide open. "What is it Lil?" Miley asked coming up next to me. "This dress is $75! I only have $50." I whined. This was the perfect dress too!

Miley had a grin on her face anyway so I gave her a look. "I think I can dip in to my Hannah cash for this special occasion." she said. I grinned so big my cheeks hurt and gave her a huge hug. She laughed and we went to pay for the dress. I texted Oliver because I knew he was out with Jake. I typed on my phone's key pad. Hey Ollie, hows the shopping going? I flipped my phone closed and sat back.

A few seconds later my phone was vibrating. I grabbed it and opened it to the screen. Hey Lillay, shopping is torture. Idk how u girls do it so much! Although I'd be happier if u were there with me. Hey, when u guys get back, meet me at Rico's. I have a surprise. I laughed at his response and blushed in even though he wasn't even here. I was about to text back when I saw Miley looking over. "What?" I asked innocently. "What Oliver said was cute." she said simply with a smirk on her face. I blushed even deeper as we pulled into her driveway.

I quickly texted Oliver that I'd be there in 10 minutes and got out of the car. I ran upstairs and changed into the swimsuit I always kept at Miley's, a dark purple bikini with silver stars on it. I pulled my jeans back on and ran out of her back door. "Y'all have fun now!" I heard Robbie Ray shout from the couch. I raced to Rico's and spotted Oliver. The beach was surprisingly empty for a Friday evening. I shrugged it off and snuck up behind Oliver, tickling his sides.

He jumped and turned around, trying to push my hands away, still laughing hysterically. He started tickling me back but he tripped over the stool he was sitting on and brought us both down. I rolled over in the sand to look at him giggling.

We met eyes and he reached over to brush some sand out of my hair. He pulled his hand back and shook his hair, getting most of the sand out…and all over me. "Oliver!" I said with mock annoyance. He grinned and stood up then held out his hand. I took it and when he pulled me up, he pulled me into a kiss as well.

I relaxed into the kiss and he pushed me against the counter of Rico's. I pushed him back a little. I t was getting a little intense for the middle of the beach. He looked around and nodded. "So, still have that surprise for me?" I asked, shaking some sand out of my hair still. He grinned at me and reached into his back pocket. I looked at him with an eyebrow raised. He pulled a small, wrapped box out and held it out to me. I smiled and took it, carefully unwrapping it.

Once I got to the box, I took off the top and gasped. It was a little jeweled choker with an oddly thick clasp. The jewels matched my eyes. "Flip the clasp over." Oliver said from behind me, wrapping his arms around my waist. I raised an eyebrow and turned it over. I bit my lip when I read it. "Lilly and Ollie forever" I read aloud. I turned around with tears pricking my eyes. "What's wrong, Lil? Don't you like it?" he asked, worriedly taking my hands. I shook my head. I really loved him. His eyes showed he was worried and confused. I could always tell.

I held out the necklace. He looked hurt. "Put it on for me?" I asked, smiling at him. He looked up at me with a look of hope. I nodded my head towards the necklace and he took it. I turned around and held my hair up. He clasped it and I let my hair back down, turning back to him. "I love you, Lil." he whispered. "I love you too." I said, leaning in for another kiss. "Hey y'all!" I heard a voice say from a few feet away. "Oh, hey Miles." I said, letting go of Oliver. Oliver stayed silent and I elbowed him in the ribs. He cringed slightly. "Hi Miley." Oliver said, hoping not to get hit again.

"It's almost 6:30. You guys wanna stay for dinner?" she asked. I glanced at Oliver. "Sure." I said. Oliver just nodded. It seemed like Miley didn't notice Oliver was acting weird. Well, weird for him. Anyways, she was probably off in Jake-land like she usually is. Ever since he quit being an actor, they've been going out. Supposedly because that means he's truly "normal" now. Sure, and I'm a girly girl. Right.

Ok. Sorry, this is kind of all fluff. But I'm building up to the next chapter which is actually prom. I promise there'll be drama next chapter. That one should be up by…tomorrow? Maybe in a few days. I know what I'm doing for that chapter, I just have to get it all down on paper…well, type it up…
