"Are you two sure theres nothing going on between you?" Joe asked suspiciously.

Hannah and Nick hurriedly moved away from each other, "Yes," they said together. Hannah could feel her cheeks turning red. She handed Kevin the red plastic guitar and sat down on the couch next to Lily, who shot her a look.

Hannah just shrugged.

"Can you imagine if they were?" Kevin added, "the press would have a field day."

Hannah looked at her feet, "would they?" she mumbled. "They would be all over it"

"You don't say." Nick said with an air that told his brothers the conversation was over.

Miley sat back and watched as Kevin and Nick continued their game. She watched Joe send Lily flirtacious looks while Lily pretended not to notice and she watched the scenery pass by as the gang headed through to Nevada. Her phone rang. Hannah glanced at the caller i.d., it was her father.

"Hi Daddy," she chirped into the phone.

"Miley Stewart, why am I looking at a picture of you kissing some boy?" Her dads gruff voice boomed through the line.

"Daddy, I don't know what you're talking about." Miley protested.

"Then whats this I see, Hannah Montanna smooching Nick Jonas?" Miley groaned when she remembered the photographer on the beach. She turned around and walked towards the rear of the bus.

"Not only are you kissing a boy, but you're spending the night on the same bus as him?"

She winced, "Daddy, I don't know what you're seeing but nothing's happening on the bus, we're about to go to bed," she fabricated.

"I especially can't believe that your father, your manager, is having to find out from a tabloid"

"Daddy, I'm sorry. We didn't know anyone was there"

"I have half a mind to board that bus myself and drive with you this summer." Robbie Ray said.

"You don't trust me?" "You, I trust, as much as I can trust a teenage girl, it's that darned Jonas boy I don't trust"

"Well, Daddy, thats not fair," Hannah retorted, "he didn't know anyone was there either"

"I don't care. I want you off that bus. Nevada is Hannahs last stop"

"Daddy, thats not fair! I am old enough to decide who and when I want to date."

"I'm sorry bud, but you're clearly not old enough to do this, it was a mistake. I'll see you tomorrow"

"Daddy--you don't control me! Thats not fair. How were we supposed to know there was a reporter there." Hannah could hear herself whinning, but she didn't care. She saw Nick poke his head around the corner, looking concerned. She covered the phone with her hand and whispered for him to check talk about it tomorrow. Put me on the phone with the driver"

"Yes sir," Hannah surrendered. She walked to the front of the bus, tears streaming down her face and handed the phone to the driver, before walking back to the couch and collapsing next to Lily. Nick was on a laptop, and Kevin and Joe were looking over his shoulder. The two older boys whoope in delight at the image on the screen.

"We knew it! Nick you badass. Trying to keep that from us. Nick Jonas and Hannah Montanna! What a couple."

"Shut up," Nick retorted.

Hannah could feel him trying to catch her eye, but she looked away. She couldn't believe her father, she was furious at him, but she was just as mad at herself for not predicting the situation. She could still hear Kevin and Joe whooping and cracking jokes. It was going to be a long night.
