Chapter Four: Miley, Miley, Miley…
Jake walked Miley back to her house that night silently, holding the CD player in one hand with a beach bag over his shoulder while the other was wrapped around Miley.
So far, he liked it. No one came on to him. No one interrupted their romantic rendezvous. There was a small run in with Amber and Ashley at the beach, with Miley kissing him in front of them.
"Just because I can…" She had told him when he asked why.
He wasn't complaining. If he was a normal person and dating someone famous in disguise, he would be a heck lot happy and smug about it, too! There was just a thrill about doing these things under people's noses.
They were on Miley's front porch when Jake broke the comfortable silence they had, just walking her home. "So this is how being normal is like."
Miley nodded with a smile. "Yes – this is it. Pretty boring, huh?"
"It could be at times, but it's much more real. I don't have to worry about a mob following me to the bathroom, or splitting us up when I DO decide to talk to you. I love how no one watches me the entire time I'm at the beach or when I kiss you." He threw her a devilish grin as he said the last part.
"That is a plus. Just don't think you can do that all the time."
Jake pouted, saddened by the thought. "Oh, I see. You'll kiss me when we're hidden, or when we're in front of Amber and Ashley but I can't kiss you." He removed his arm from around her and turned away.
"I didn't mean it like that. I just meant – well, maybe Jake Ryan, the Zombie Slayer, doesn't have to kiss his girlfriend all the time, in front of people. Okay, okay – we can kiss; but we have to be really careful about the time and place."
He turned back around with that annoying, knowing smile of his. "I know, I was just joking." He put the stuff down and took her face in his hands then kissed her. She immediately put her arms around his back and kissed him back. Not even ten seconds passed when they heard an intimidating voice ring in the air.
"You have five seconds to take your hands off my little girl and step away, skippy!"
It was Robbie Ray Stewart with his hands on his hips. Apparently, he had been watching from the doorway.
Oh well. The magic had to end, some time.
The two reluctantly let each other go.
"Sweet nibblets, dad!" Miley grumbled out as Jake really did step away as Robbie told him to.
The thing was, he didn't even look remotely intimidating. He was wearing a fluffy sky blue robe, probably a present from Aunt Dolly.
But Jake didn't know why he was so scared of Miley's father. It was new to him – but he liked it.
"Get your butt in here, bud."
Jake heard the no-nonsense tone in his voice and didn't blame her for just obeying. He was surprised that she blew him a kiss which he instinctively caught before she disappeared behind her father.
Robbie motioned to him with a finger saying, "I'll be watching you!"
Gulping, Jake said, "I know sir."
Robbie made a small circle with his finger, "Okay – I am late for by avocado and peach mask facial . After you pick up your impressive courting tools, turn around then skedaddle!"
Wordlessly nodding, he obeyed and then risked a last glance at the Stewart house. He considered himself lucky enough to catch a glimpse of Miley who was watching through a window. He noticed Robbie shut the door already, and proceeded to show Miley his left hand which he brought to his lips. That was the hand he caught her flying kiss with.
"Sorry about my dad, he can be really weird sometimes." Miley said into the phone as she talked to Jake later that night. "On second thought – my family can be really weird."
She remembered Jackson. She remembered the day they all had to act like they weren't who they really were (except for Jackson) when she told that reporter, Bree Samuels Takahashi something, something. And she remembered Jackson, again. Then she remembered Aunt Dolly… which prompted her to remember Jackson eating her face mask again.
"Don't worry about it – I've met the occasional protective father." He paused before continuing, "Although – they're usually related to me; 'cause every other dad I meet usually gets start struck. But then again you can't blame them, 'cause look at me."
"Your ego astounds me."
"But it still got you, didn't it?"
Miley almost paused at that cocky but true statement. Almost. "I think my mind has finally come to grips with my body – why am I wasting my time with you again?"
"Do I have to quote you? Because even if I can be obnoxious I can be really sweet, too."
"Actually, it was more like 'you get really obnoxious but then you get really sweet AND then you get really obnoxious again.'"
Jake laughed. "Well, I still get really sweet too – and that's why you love me."
"Can we forget I said that? Because I'm not so sure anymore."
"Ouch… that actually hurt. Okay, okay – I'll be good!"
Miley triumphantly smiled. FINALLY! The guy had humbled a little. "So, you said you had something to tell me before I switched the subject to my eccentric family."
"I just got a phone call from my manager – he said that I have to tour some 'haunted' places for this week – you know for Halloween promotions… so this upcoming school week, I won't be going to school, but I do come back on Halloween. I just thought I'd give you a head's up and let you know before everybody else found out."
"Oh that's cool. Which places are y'all hittin'?"
"The Callson Manor and Haunted Maze in Buena Park, Ghoulsville in Vallejo, The Reign of Terror in Thousand Oaks and Seaside Haunt in Ventura."
"Wow. That's a lot. They expect you to scare little kids with your pretty face?"
"No – you just keep hitting, don't you? It's a meet-and-greet thing. Actually, my manager said that the producers tried to get Hannah Montana to come with the Zombie High crew; but her manager said that she had prior engagements that week. I would have called her and try to convince her to reconsider – but I am having trouble tracking her down."
Miley winced a little. She forgot about hiding her other secret from Jake. Prior engagements that week just meant the last recording session for If We Were a Movie and I've Got Nerve on Monday, after school. Other than that, there's only school and Traci's party – which is on Halloween. "Well, that's too bad! But I am curious… why would you want to persuade Hannah Montana to go on a meet-and-greet with your fans?"
"Well, for one – I think we'll be really good friends. Call it a hunch; but there's something…" He trailed off, giving Miley some concern.
She should just tell him and get it over with. Like ripping off a band-aid! Like when she told Oliver – just ripping the wig off and the glasses after chewing some licorice gum. Or maybe… Jake even knows. The whole reason why Oliver didn't really like her was because he couldn't see that the two were the same person! Maybe Jake found out, and she wouldn't have to tell him about it. Then again – he might get mad at her for not telling him.
What if he only liked her because she was a normal girl?
His voice shook her out of her mini-reverie. "Hey Miley – you're not jealous; are you?"
"Me? Jealous?" He thought she was jealous? Pfft, yeah right! Like she would get jealous over her other self. "What for? I was just waiting for you to finish what you were saying."
Jake smiled wryly into the phone as he heard Miley rush her words together. He decided to test her, "Well, as you know – we shot an episode of Zombie High where she and I were supposed to kiss. So I thought you were thinking about that. The thing is, we actually were about to, our lips just brushed together before the director said 'cut'."
He heard Miley sigh. "Well," she began, almost breathlessly, "did you want to kiss her?"
"A little."
"A little?" She sounded outraged.
Okay, so she was jealous. "Well – not so much her as… well; like I told you the Friday before the shoot: 'even though I'll be kissing her; I'll be thinking of you.'"
"Oh. So you wanted to kiss – me."
"Yeah. Always."
And yes – he had no shame in admitting that. But he still had a hunch about something…
Miley was full blown smiling. Biting her lip as she blushed, she asked him, "Really?"
"Yes. Like that time on the beach – remember when you were watching me change shirts? You had this really cute look on your face."
She gasped. "That wasn't me! That was Lilly! I was… I was an innocent bystander that day! I had that – magazine I had to show Lilly!" He started laughing at her frantic tone.
Okay… so you really can't blame her for sounding soooo guilty especially since her feelings had changed about that particular memory. Yeah, she wanted to see him change now; but not then! And the worst part was he was still laughing.
"No – I wasn't even remotely interested in what you were doing then; I wanted to show Lilly a magazine article where… where… Jesse McCartney was rumored to be spotted getting Hannah Montana tickets for next month!" Of course, Jesse actually called her – Hannah - to get him and someone who won a date with him tickets for her show; but that's completely irrelevant.
"Okay, I believe you. But you're my girlfriend, and just say the word and I'll be happy to give you a private showing of me changing shirts."
Miley went red at the thought. Oh, she couldn't believe she was actually considering telling him that she wanted to see him switch clothes. She wanted to watch! Ugh! Stop it Miley! This is not the time to have… more-than-Disney-rated-thoughts of your-boyfriend!
"By the way – did I hear her say that she 'missed my zombie-slaying muscles'?"
"Yes. You did." Then her mouth involuntarily continued, "But you know? I actually think that I missed them now, too." Oh boy. She really had to get a hold of that inner voice from coming out! It was like Lilly was rubbing off on her!
"Really?" He sounded like he was pleasantly surprised, yet at the same time smug.
Thankfully, she was saved by her dad from making any more comments. Robbie was motioning to his watch and making poofy hair gestures.
"Hey Jake? I need to go… we're dropping Aunt Dolly off at the bus station. Bye!"
She hung up and told her dad, "You have no idea how you just saved me, Daddy!"
"Oh I know, bud. I was listenin' in with the other phone."
"DADDY!" She glared at her father.
"Hey it wasn't just me. Aunt Dolly, and Jackson were there too!"
Miley's jaw dropped. Oh, she was gonna get them.
Two voices proceeded to ring throughout the house.
"ROBBIE RAY YOU NOSY, EAVESDROPPIN', TATTLIN' HILLBILLY!"
"DANG FLABIT, ROBBIE RAY STEWART!!!"
Oh yes. She was.
The rest of the night was uneventful. She slept, had sweet dreams about being Zerronda and actually being kissed by the Zombie Slayer with her lips falling off but with him reattaching them with his love.
She woke with a smile on her face. She had that smile all throughout the morning as she got ready for the day and searched her Hannah Closet for some things to use on Jackson, Aunt Dolly and her father for their stunt the night before.
She snuck into her dad's room first, knowing he was up and making breakfast already.
Then, seeing that Aunt Dolly wasn't awake yet, she quickly went to the guest bathroom.
After she finished, Miley put some latex gloves on and went to work on Jackson. She made it extra special for making her throw away her favorite towel, her shirt, and everything else he touched in the last month.
When she was done, she exited his room and threw her tools away then went downstairs.
"Hey, bud!" Her dad was making French toast, bacon and eggs. "I forgot to tell you last night. I came up with a new song for you. After we drop off Dolly – we'll pick up Oliver and Lilly and see if they like it."
All of a sudden, Jackson screamed like a girl. He came running in his penguin pajamas his hands in his hair.
"Dad!" Then he spotted Miley, who looked really pleased. He stopped. "Okay, I deserved this."
He had Afro-curly, pink hair. Miley had dyed and curled it to perfection that morning as he was sleeping.
"Boy, she sure got you there, son."
"How long is this going to last?"
Miley shrugged, "The box said three days."
Jackson glared at his dad for telling on him.
Then a scream sounded in the air.
Robbie and Jackson looked at each other and then Miley and then back. Miley was happily eating breakfast. With another silent conversation. They decided to go up and find out what happened.
They saw Dolly with straight hair.
"Aunt Dolly – looks like Miley got you better than she got me!"
Dolly DETESTED having flat and straight hair!!!
Robbie started chuckling, and wanted to make a comment about how when they were young - but decided not to.
At this, Jackson and Dolly both turned to him, growled and glared. He looked relatively unharmed.
At the looks, Robbie ran into his room and locked the door… only to find out that the knob came off.
Meanwhile, Miley enjoyed the tortured screams her father started making.
She finished her breakfast off with a loud smack and then decided to watch some On Demand TV. Just her luck, she watched a live broadcast of Good Morning Malibu while Jake was on TV.
For the next, commercial-less fifteen minutes, she watched him talk about his Halloween week and about the episode with Hannah Montana.
"She was great!" Jake said to Arielle Hatter and Chloe Sullivan. "She was fun and amazing to work with. She was really down-to-earth and sweet, too!"
"So, I heard that you guys were supposed to kiss." Arielle asked, "What happened with that? Why did she kiss Demon Dog instead?"
"That's actually a funny story. In the outtake, we did brush lips briefly; so the fans will get to watch that on the upcoming DVD. Basically, it was actually Hannah who came up with the idea – at first, I thought she was nervous about the kiss. I mean, I know I was – kinda."
Arielle and Chloe both said, "Aww."
Chloe continued, "Then what?"
"I talked to her – I asked her about the script, how did she like it and how all of us on the set were excited to have her there. She said she loved everything except the part where we kiss."
The two newscasters exchanged glances. "No way."
"Yes way. But then I realized that she wasn't nervous about the kiss; she didn't even have a problem with kissing me. I think she thought that Demon Dog should get some credit of saving the world instead of the Zombie Slayer. The producers, the director and the writers though it was a great idea – turns out we were right and fans actually want her back on the show."
Miley's jaw dropped. He actually made Hannah the good guy here instead of saying that she didn't want to kiss him. The guilt was rising.
"So she kissed your canine sidekick?" Chloe said in disbelief. "Wow – Hannah Montana surprises me yet again! First, she jumped on a paparazzi at Traci Tilmitt's party and now, she kissed the sidekick underdog! Pardon the pun."
Jake laughed. "Yeah, she surprised me too – that was actually not my week. I recently transferred to this school where everybody liked me; except for one girl. I was intrigued by her. She was… really down-to-earth as well and didn't fall all over me."
Chloe said, "Oooh, then what happened?"
Arielle smacked her co-worker, "Why do you keep on interrupting him and then ask him that? Just let him tell the story!"
Meanwhile, Miley's eyes were glued to the screen and Dolly, Jackson and Robbie – who looked like Hell had swallowed him and spat then him back out all had mini-bags of popcorn. They were all dressed and ready to go out – except Robbie, but he was just going to deal with it.
Jake chuckled. He threw his hands up and shrugged, "Well, to be honest… I eventually formed a crush on her. She is really smart, and funny – and she wasn't afraid to tell me that she didn't like me; especially when the school janitor renovated her locker and mine – but she's never rude. She's always civil and courteous; and she's a really beautiful girl."
Everybody said, "Awwww."
"That week, we were told that we were going to have a school dance. I asked her and she turned me down; twice."
Arielle and Chloe both said, "Ouch!"
Dolly turned to her goddaughter. "You turned him down twice? Boy you're lucky he found that tape and still liked ya!"
Jackson and Robbie hushed her.
"When I told Hannah about her… yes, we actually had a small heart-to heart; I told you Hannah's a sweet girl. Anyway, Hannah's a good listener too, because she helped me sort out some thoughts about the girl I was crushing on."
"Was?" Chloe asked as Arielle hit her again.
"Well, it's more than just a crush now. I really like her – she's… really unique."
Miley remembered how she used those words as Hannah Montana. Oh God. She really had to tell him before he hated her for keeping that part of her life a secret.
"Anyway, I asked her best friend to the dance instead."
Arielle interrupted him this time, "No way! Then what happened?"
"Let's just say that I got what I deserved. I used her friend to forget about her and make her jealous. It didn't work and they both chose each other instead."
"So, they left you by yourself?" Chloe asked in disbelief.
"Well – it's something I've learned; you can't win someone's feelings by acting like a jerk. You win her over by being really nice… and sincerely sweet. In the end, well; I actually don't know how… but she gave me the idea that she liked me for being a normal and humble person. Nothing I ever did in extravagance made her like me. Just simple stuff."
Arielle said, "Wow. Looks like a girl already won over Jake's heart… your girl fans will not be thrilled about this – I imagine."
Chloe added, "I think that's why is careful to not say her name.
"So, Jake – back to you… you're doing a Haunted House tour for Zombie High, right?"
"Yes – the cast and crew of Zombie High will be visiting Buena Park, Vallejo Thousand Oaks and Ventura. Twenty-five percent of the proceeds will go to the Bethesda Orphanage in Georgia and another twenty-five percent will go to the Salvation Army."
"That's really nice – now as I understood it from an article on Wikipedia, Hannah Montana was supposed to be on this tour with you, since there are negotiations of her return as a regular cast member of Zombie High?"
Jake hissed a little. "Actually, there only has been some talk about her return – Wikipedia, unfortunately, has got wrong information. Don't get me wrong, I know that a lot of fans and the writers really loved her presence on the show. But right now – she is recording her upcoming album for the holidays and this week she is releasing two singles. So she is pretty busy and our schedules conflict for my Halloween Benefit Tour."
All of a sudden, a phone rang in the studio. Chloe said, "It seems we have a caller who can't wait to speak with you."
"This is Robbie Ray, Hannah's manager and father."
Chloe and Arielle started babbling.
"Oh my gosh."
"THE Robbie Ray?"
"Hannah Montana's father?"
"The singer?!"
Jake, the only one calm but a little contemplative said, "Hello Mr. Montana."
"Just call me Ray.
Now, I just got off the phone with the Zombie High crew – I was
originally going to decline Hannah's return on the show but then I
saw you on TV, speaking for the fans. So – I'm going go on ahead
and give them the go signal. I realized that this'll be a good
experience for her. BUT! This week is still a no-go. She has
school, and she needs to work on her Christmas album."
Dolly, Miley and Jackson all gaped at Robbie who was in the kitchen as he made the phone call. He looked evilly at Miley and said, "By the way – here's Hannah."
Oh boy.
Miley went to the kitchen and made a face at her dad who in turn said, "I had to pay ya back for that door knob. And don't worry – I'll fax the producers my official and written consent that you will be going back on Zombie High! Don't pout too much, your lips might fall off."
"Hey Jake, what's up?"
Chloe said, "Excuse me for a second, if I may butt in for a little bit. Wow – ladies and gents. This is a real treat. If you're just tuning in, we're live here in Malibu as we interview Jake Ryan for his upcoming Halloween Tour and we've received a surprise. On the phone line we have Hannah Montana who we will be interviewing, who will be returning to Zombie High, releasing a single within a couple of weeks and releasing a Christmas album next month."
Arielle picked up from where she left off, "So Hannah – tell us about Jake; how was it working with him?"
"Well, frankly – he's not a bad guy to work with. If he could sing, I'd definitely extend an invite to him to work on a song."
"Well thanks for the confidence, Hannah – I should have never told you I couldn't sing."
"No problem. By the way, I hate thundermint. I'm a spearmint fan."
"Ouch, thanks for the info. I'll bear that in mind. Oh it's an inside joke – by the way Hinnah; I can't wait till we finish that kiss."
"I feel so used. You're going to be thinking about that girl while you kiss me!" She was having fun but at the same time feeling guilty because of this deception. But she'll milk it for what it's worth. It might be the last time that they will have such crazy banter.
"Well, won't you be thinking about your own boyfriend?"
"Nothing personal, buddy but – uh that's kind of hard if you're kissing someone with thundermint breath."
"Ouch. Alright, next time I kiss you I'll have spearmint breath, okay Princess?"
Arielle butted in, "Okay guys… time out! Geez, are you guys sure you're not going out?"
Chloe said, "Hey – be nice. Jake likes someone already. So Hannah – care to dish who is Jake's love interest?"
"I would, but it's really not my story to tell. Besides, all I know is that she goes to his school and I'd really rather not repeat the same things he said earlier on the show."
Arielle asked, "Why didn't you want to kiss Jake on the show? Wasn't it awkward for you to kiss the dog?"
And so the impromptu interview with the occasional banter went on for another twenty minutes. In that time Robbie and Jackson dropped off Dolly at the bus station – who watched the program on a portable TV Robbie used to own (Dolly owns it now!) and then picked up Oliver and Lilly.
The latter was screaming, saying all sorts of wacky things.
"I was in the shower listening to the radio when there was a breaking news saying that Jake Ryan and Hannah Montana were both on TV. I got out of the shower, my hair still wet and shampoo-ey then I called Oliver to turn his on as I turned mine on. And then my mom said that I had to go and finish showering cause the soap's been drying up in the middle of the program. I have to know what happened!!! Why didn't Miley tell me that she was going back on Zombie High."
It took the entire ride and a couple more minutes to explain to Lilly why she wasn't informed of the situation and how Hannah Montana "guest voiced" on Good Morning Malibu.
When they got to the house, they found Miley on the phone.
"Yeah, Jake – be serious. Stop being over-dramatic. It's not like you're going to Timbuktu. I'll call you, and you can call me. So yeah… oh alright. I'll miss you, of course. But I'm not gonna sit and cry over so don't expect me to."
Jackson decided to speak up at this point, "Well – the boy is clearly delusional. Too bad he's not quite in touch with reality or else he won't be head over heels with my sister."
Miley shot him a dirty look. "Okay – I'll talk to you later. Bye." She hung up then said, "Well at least I'm not the one with a bright pink hair do while wearing a yellow shirt."
Then Oliver and Lilly proceeded to crack up about Jackson's new do and clashing outfit.
He returned Miley's look. "Funny – I have to wear this outrageous shirt at work."
Oliver said, "Look on the bright side – at least you wouldn't have Rico calling everybody's attention on you! You're like a neon sign blinding everybody!"
Lilly just continued laughing. Jackson decided to go to work.
Robbie Ray decided to interrupt further torment on his son. "Okay – guys. Here is something I've been working on the past couple of days." He whipped out his guitar as Lilly, Oliver and Miley all sat around in the living room. He gave Miley a yellow pad and then started to sing.
Stand for what you believe in.
Stand for all that is right.
Miley joined him for the next couple of lines, alternating between glancing at the sheet and her dad and everyone else.
Stand when it's dark all around you.
You can be that shining light.
Stand when troubles come callin'.
For what you believe in.
You're gonna be all right.
Stand, just reach deep inside you.
And be that shining light.
Stand.
Everybody clapped.
Miley was excited. "Dad that was awesome! I think that's the best wrong you've ever written – what's the bad news?"
Lilly spoke up then. "Bad news? What are you talking about? It's a great song!"
Robbie said, "Thank you, Lilly." He turned to Miley, "You know, I've always liked her!"
"Don't change the subject!" Miley turned to Lilly to explain. "Every time he has bad news, he tries to soften it up with a great song." She started ticking off some stuff. "Best of Both Worlds – had to get braces. This Is The Life – Jackson decided not to go to Sleep Away Camp. Pumpin' Up The Party – my goldfish died."
Oliver put his two cents in. "When my goldfish died, my mom flushed it down the toilet. I'll never forget her comforting words: Get over it, Oliver – it's a stinkin' fish."
Lilly gave him a side glance. "That explains so much!"
Miley said, "Come on, Dad – just tell me. Trust me, I can handle it."
Robbie braced himself. "Your cousin Lou Anne is coming to visit – now who wants pie?!"
Miley slowly turned away from her dad and stared into space.
"Miley?" Lilly said.
Robbie waved a hand while the other held onto his guitar. "Miley?"
Oliver's face lit up. "What kind of pie?" He stood up and made himself home in the kitchen.
Robbie decided to cheer his daughter up. "Come on Mile. Don't forget that wonderful, wonderful song that I just wrote you that you love so much!" He started strumming through the first two verses when Miley stopped the sound with a hand. Literally.
"When does her broomstick land?"
Robbie straightened up, setting his guitar at the end of the table in an upright position. "Come on, now Mile! Now let's don't start this again! She's a good kid!" He stood up and started walking away. "Let's not forget who pulled you out of that well when you were just six!"
Miley stood up too with Lilly on her heels. "Let's not forget who pushed me in!"
"Heyyyy... that was an accident! Sometimes kids do stuff without thinkin'."
A fly buzzed around and their gazes followed the noise in the kitchen.
Oliver was already sitting down about to munch on the pie but was distracted by the buzzing and followed it around before smacking a hand on it and into the pie. He caused the plate to tumble halfway into his lap. He wiped his hand on his shirtm searing filling all over his shirt. Then he righted it back on the table while muttering, "Stupid fly!" and dug in anyway.
Robbie pointed it out. "I didn't plan that but there you go!"
"I can't believe this! Halloween is in a week – and you're making me share my bathroom with the Princess of Darkness? If Lou Anne's coming? I'm sleeping over at Lilly's!" She turned around and started towards the stairs to pack.
She was stopped by her dad's next words. "Listen – you guys have grown up. She's grown, you've grown! You're a lot alike!"
The door bell rang.
She looked in horror at her dad but then turned around to get the door. "How can you say that? I am nothing like that horrible, ugly witch!" She opened the door and nearly dropped dead.
Dressed in a red cowgirl shirt. With a full blown Southern accent and smile she said, "Howdy, Cuz!"
Miley just started, wordlessly.
Lou Anne continued. "Well yee doggie! This is one digger of a shack!"
Miley looked back at Lilly then back at Lou Anne.
She looked devilishly smug.
Forget horror. Terror was about to begin its reign.
