I haven't written any fanfiction in ages. Especially Hannah Montana fanfiction. But the most recent episode forced my hand... because Jackson and Lilly are SO cute as a couple.

So here we have it. The missing scene from: "He Ain't a Hottie, He's My Brother."

Note: This is my longest chapter yet, and dedicated to "Jade", cause she's been keeping the Lackson spirit alive!

It felt weird for Miley to be doing the Mack and Micky In The Morning show again. Mighty weird. And so weird that it wasn't going exactly the way she imagined her dream.

"Well we're here with Hannah Montana and..." Micky began.

"Aren't you going to make some joke about Hannah Savannah?" Miley cut in, getting confused with her dream.

The host (Micky) looked confused. "Excuse me?"

"It's just that in my... never mind."

"ALLLRIGGGHHTT. So did you want to introduce the people responsible for keeping you so grounded when you're living every teenagers dream?"

"Um sure, we have Mike Standley, Lola Luftnangle and Jackson Stewart."

Each one of them came out and sat beside each other in the same manner they did in the dream, causing Miley to snort with uncontrollable laughter.

"Uhh, Hannah? Are you OK?"

"Bwhahahahahahhahaahhaaha.. yeah, yeah" she tried to wipe away some tears. "I'm fine go on..."

The hosts looked completely perplexed but continued. "So Jackson Stewart, what do you think of Hannah Montana and what sort of friend is she?"

"Oh Hannah and I are really close, and you know... even though we've had our fights like all (ahem) friends do, I always know that Hannah would do anything for me and would never let me down."

"Bwhahahahahahaha..." Miley broke in.

"Oh sweet niblets, someone's got to get Miley out of there" Robbie Ray muttered from the side.

"OK Hannah, how about you let us all in on the joke here?" One of the hosts tried to interfere with her private joke.

"Alright" Miley said composing herself. "I had this dream where we were already here, except Jackson here said almost the same thing he said in my dream and then those two liked each other but..." she was getting a weird look from both hosts. "Uh, you had to be there." She finished with an apologetic smile.

Jackson caught on and turned to Lilly. "You like me?"

"In the dream" Lilly replied firmly. She wrinkled her nose, catching his tone. "You don't..." she hesitated on the word, almost gagging on it, "like me do you?"

"I dunno. Never thought about it. I mean, you're like a sister to me, except without the ego and girlstache."

Miley's eyes widened. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry this time. "OK, you both hate each other" she snapped, "let's move on."

"Now wait a minute" Jackson started, "obviously Hannah had this dream for a reason" he grinned broadly, glad he was getting at his sister and that was the precise reason he wasn't leaving things alone. "So perhaps she wants two of her 'peeps' to get together...." He suggested with eyebrows raised.

"Ew no" Hannah and Lilly said at the same time and Jackson focused his attentions on Lilly, expecting the reaction from Miley but not as much from her.

"Hey, what's wrong with dating me?" He said offended, as Oliver pretended to choke on something. Jackson wondered if he should bring up that 'Hannah' dated him once (but not really). As she gave him a look to say 'what do you think?' he turned back away from her. "I never said I wanted to date you either."

"Fine then." Lilly crossed her arms over her chest indignantly.

"Fine." Jackson replied with a harsh edge, doing the same thing.

"He-heh..." Miley tried to chuckle. "Alright, I'm sure you've had enough of my peeps by now..." She cast an apprehensive glance to the hosts. She slapped her hand on her knees with finality "Now how about another Hannah Montana song?"

"We always love to hear your music..."

Miley saw Jackson and Lilly uncomfortably nudge each other, still not facing each other and seeming on the bridge of a fight as she started singing. Only one thing went through her mind. 'Oh no. What have I done?'

When they got back to the Stewart residence Jackson and Lilly still weren't even looking at each other.

"It was just a dream you guys..." Miley plead as Jackson stalked across to the kitchen to get food and Lilly flopped on the couch.

"I know" Lilly said with a frown.

"Hey, I'm not the one that said I was vitually undateable" Jackson pointed out.

Lilly finally turned to him. "You're the one that said I was undateable!"

"Neither of you said you were undateable" Miley cried, exasperated at the two of them. "Oliver help me out here."

"Me?" Oliver said, "I've got to go home... Mom's going to be getting back from the station any moment soon."

He slipped out the door, unnoticed by both Lilly and Jackson.

"Lilly simply said she didn't want to date you, and Jackson said he didn't want to date you" Miley told each party respectively taking a seat beside Lilly on the edge of the couch. "And you don't want to date each other, so that's fine" she put on brightly, smiling big and hoping they would confirm it. REALLY hoping they would confirm it.

"Yeah" Jackson heaved conceeding and coming over to the couch with a bowl of cereal.

"Yeah" Lilly heaved a sigh likewwise and sunk into the couch as Jackson sat beside her.

"And you're both perfectly dateable... well, Lilly is of course."

"Gee thanks Miles." Jackson swirled his cereal around with his spoon. Lilly bit her lip and looked over at him, wondering if she should say it.

"And you're dateable too, Jackson..." she told him, "just not with me" adding so he didn't get the wrong idea.

"Of course, cause you're like my sister..." he made a face.

Miley didn't know why but she felt the same kind of pang of guilt she did in her dream when she tried to stop her brother and best friend from being together, even though she should have been feeling very relieved right now. It was probably due to the look that briefly came upon Lilly's face of disappointment before she acted perky again and got up from the couch to raid the cupboard herself. Or maybe it was because Jackson swirled his cereal around for MUCH to long contemplatively after this whole fiasco, but something was still telling her that she'd forced the situation a little in her favor.

But they didn't WANT to date each other, so it was all over with. Wasn't it?

Lilly gave one last glance to Jackson as she plunked beside him again a waffle in hand, and they reached for the remote at the same time. Miley gulped as she saw them both pull away and try and push it over to the other person.

"You take it."

"No, you take it."

"No, you take it."

"Fine I'll take it" Jackson picked it up with his free hand.

That might have been the last they mentioned the whole dating thing, but Miley felt like the damage had already been done and the normal pseudo brother/sister relationship between the two would be strained from that point on. She knew one thing though:

'I never should have mentioned that dream.'

Pressing that review button might inspire me to write another missing scene for the next episode.

So press it and say 'hey'.
