Sup everyone? I am currently listening to my "Meet Miley Cyrus" CD and I got inspired to write this. It's based off of "Right Here" which is an amazing song! LOL

Enough about Miley, onto the one-shot. Just to let you know, it's set in the future. Troy and Gabi are married with a 6 year old daughter so you don't get confused.


10:30pm

6 year-old Mackenzie Bolton was lying on her bed, fast asleep. Her mother, Gabriella, was watching the local news for the weather. It had been pretty windy that day and she was waiting to see the weather for tonight.

"Over to Jeff for the local weather."

"Thanks Kathy. Tonight, I'm expecting a line of thunderstorms to come through our area. Be ready for power outages and some flooding. Back to you guys."

Gabriella sighed. Her daughter was afraid of thunderstorms, and her dad was usually the one that comforted her while there was either lightning and/or a power outage. But currently, Troy was away for an away game for the Wildcats Varsity Team about an hour away. A rumble of thunder interrupted her thoughts.

"I better go check on Kenz." She said quietly to herself and walked out of her room. She made her way to her daughter's basketball themed room and opened the door. Inside, Mackenzie was sleeping soundly. Gabriella smiled to herself and went back to bed.

12:00am

Mackenzie was beginning to wake up due to the storm outside. A large flash of lightning and a very loud rumble of thunder suddenly woke her up. She got scared and ran to her parent's room. When she got there, Gabriella was sleeping on her side, her back facing Mackenzie. She went up to her mom and gently shook her.

"Momma. Momma."

Gabriella turned around sleepily. "What hun?"

"I woke up from the storm. Where's daddy?" She asked.

"He's away right now hunny bun, but he'll be back tomorrow," Gabriella replied. "Do you want to lie on his side of the bed?"

Mackenzie grinned. "Okay." She said while she climbed onto the bed. She snuggled into the covers, hoping she could smell her dad.


After a while, the storm was getting worse, and the lights flickered. Soon after they flickered, they completely went out. Gabriella heard her daughter whimper.

"It's okay. How about we lights some candles and do what mommy used to do at a sleepover with her friends?" Gabriella replied.

Mackenzie sat up and looked at her mom. "Let's do it!" She said while Gabriella sat up and got off of the bed. She lit a few candles and placed them around the bedroom. Then she got her battery operated CD player and her old "Hannah Montana 2: Meet Miley Cyrus" CD. She put the Hannah Montana CD in and turned to her daughter.

"You ready?"

Mackenzie nodded. "Yeah, but what do we do?"

Gabriella smiled. "We dance." She said and pressed play. The song "Rockstar" came on. Gabriella grabbed her daughter's small hands and they danced around. A lot of laughing was heard, and a lot of jumping could be seen. The thunderstorm outside was soon forgotten.

1:30am

The dancing had subsided and moved onto singing to the songs. Gabriella and Mackenzie were sitting on the floor cuddled in a blanket and pillows underneath them.

Mackenzie yawned. "You tired, sweetie?" Gabriella asked.

She nodded. "Yeah. Can I go to sleep?"

"Go ahead hun." She said and both girls closed their eyes and fell asleep.

8:00am the next morning

Troy unlocked the door to the house and walked in. He hung his coat up and took of his shoes and ran up the stairs.

"Gabs?" He called out. He walked into his daughter's room to check up on her. Troy walked in and saw the bed empty. He got a bit worried and went to his bedroom. He opened the door.

"Gabs?" He asked quietly. Then he saw his wife and daughter sleeping on the floor. He smiled and went over to them.

"Gabs? Kenzie? Wake up." He cooed and shook his wife gently. She woke up and looked at him.

"Troy?" She asked, yawning.

Troy smiled. "Yep. Was last night okay?"

She sat up. "Yeah. She woke up around 12 and came in. Then we had a little girls' night in when the lights went off." She replied and gently kissed his lips. "What are you doing home? Aren't you supposed to still be with the team?" She asked.

Troy shook his head. "Nope, I left right after the game. I was worried about her, so I came home. But then Chad persuaded me to stay the night because of the weather, so I did. I left today around 6:30 and I just got home."

Gabriella smiled at her husband's thoughtfulness. "How about you wake her up and I'll get breakfast ready?"

"Sounds like a plan." She got up and walked down to the kitchen.

Troy shook her sleeping body gently.

"Kenz? Wake up hun." He said. Her eyes fluttered open and looked at him with his same bright blue eyes.

"Dad?" She asked, obviously very tired. Then she realized her father was there. "Dad!" She said and threw her hands around his neck and hugged him tight.

"Hey Mack. Do you want some breakfast?" He asked, smiling.

She nodded her head. "Yep!"

And right there, right then, Mackenzie realized her father would always be right there.


Okay, I was bored, so I decided to work on another one-shot. That's what me and my sis do when it storms because we both hate them and we hate power outages. And I'm a teenager. I am like, the biggest dork on the universe. LOL

My schedule looks clear this week, so I'll update soon!
I'm going to be concentrating on the stories I write with Isr188 and fanficgirl142(my other account I share with anonymouswriter14), so I might take a brief break from this. I'll update often, but not as often as I do now.
