For the third time in a week Miley awoke in Lilly's arms and this time was by far the best. For once she didn't have to feel bad about enjoying being in them, there was no guilt about enjoying it more than any best friend should, she didn't feel bittersweet about how they fitted together perfectly and the reason why she didn't feel this was because of the small content smile that played on the blonde's lips as she slept. For Miley, the past two days had been amazing, truly better than anything she could have ever imagined. Her head was still spinning from how fast everything was moving and she felt like her feet weren't even on the floor and she just couldn't seem to come down. It was a strange feeling but she knew that she would have to come down sometime, and she bet when she did it was gonna hurt. The thought made her frown down at the comforter. She felt a hand run through her hair and looked up to see Lilly looking at her still smiling slightly but there was an undercurrent of concern in the other girl's eyes.
"What's wrong?" Lilly asked.
Miley sighed, wondering how to put what she was feeling into words. "I'm just…I'm so happy."
Lilly looked at her, eyes shining with the laughter that she stopped from escaping her lips. "When most people are happy they smile not frown."
"I know." Miley said, solemnly. She wished she could go back to when she first woke up before she depressed herself.
"Okay Miles, you have to help me out here because I'm confused. If you're happy what's with the brooding?" Lilly asked, moving back and propping her head up on her hand.
Miley started playing with the strings of her pyjama pants to distract her from looking at Lilly. "I guess it's because these last few days have just been so incredibly amazing."
"That's normally a good thing."
"It's a great thing." Miley stopped fiddling and looked up at the confused blonde. "Being around you, dating you…kissing you, it's better than anything I could have imagined." Miley smiled softly at Lilly and the other girl mimicked her, gazing down with eyes that shone with nothing but care. "I feel so happy and so, like, high. I feel like I'm so up high that nothing can touch me and what's bothering me is what's gonna happen when I fall? Because with me being up so high I know the falls going to really hurt." Miley cursed herself for the tears that began welling up in her eyes and she tried to blink them away.
Lilly clenched her jaw and forced down her own tears, she couldn't help it. Whenever Miley cried, she cried. "You're such a dope."
Miley frowned in confusion. "I'm a dope?"
"Yes, for thinking for even a second that I'd let you fall." Lilly said and although her tone was soft, it was filled with conviction. She reached over and covered Miley's hand with her own. "And even if you do fall, I promise to catch you." Miley didn't say anything, just smiled and shook her head. "What?" Lilly asked, feeling uncomfortable.
"You're pretty great Lilly Truscott."
"You're pretty great too Miley Stewart." They both leaned in to share a kiss, morning breath be damned. To Lilly, the kiss was more than just a kiss, it was a promise. And she tried her best to pour as much as the promise as she could into it, hoping that Miley would understand. When she pulled back Miley was grinning like an idiot and she had a dazed look in her eye. Lilly gave herself an internal pat on the back for being the one to make Miley look like that.
"I wanna raise that pretty great to pretty amazing."
Lilly grinned. "Do you think we could get it to pretty, amazingly awesome?"
Miley looked thoughtful for a moment. "It's worth a shot."
Lilly laughed and rolled over, placing her leg between Miley's and holding herself up with her arms that were placed either side of the brunette's head. "Is it still worth a shot?" She asked, playfully. Miley was having trouble breathing at the moment and the ability to talk was out of the question so she just nodded. Just as Lilly was leaning down to capture the southern girl's lips, someone knocked on the door. Lilly was off of Miley and into the Hannah closet like a shot, leaving Miley to stare after her in confusion.
The knock sounded at the door again, this time accompanied with a voice. "Miles? Miley can I come in?"
"Sure Dad." She called back.
Robbie Ray opened the door and stepped in. "I was jus' makin' sure you were up, we got that Hannah thing today."
"I'm up."
He frowned. "Where's Lilly? Didn't she stay here last night?"
"Lilly's in the closet." Miley answered, offhandedly.
Robbie looked amused. "Is she comin' out?"
"Not just yet."
"Well, breakfast is done for y'all when ya ready." With that he was gone, closing the door behind him.
Miley sighed, untangled herself from the bed sheets and opened the closet doors. "Lilly." She said in mock surprise. "What are you doing in the closet?"
"Haha." Lilly said dryly from her place sitting on the steps.
Miley dropped the surprised act. "No seriously, what are you doing in here?"
"I can't face your dad."
"What? Why?"
"Because I'm upstairs making out with his only daughter while he's downstairs cooking me breakfast, not having a clue and then I get to go down stairs and eat the waffles he's made, feeling guilty the whole time so I won't be able to enjoy them." She gave a wistful sigh. "And he makes really nice waffles."
Miley wrinkled her nose. "That's what you're upset about? Waffles?"
Lilly looked around avoiding Miley's gaze. "And the guilt stuff too."
Miley walked over and sat next to the blonde. "What's to feel guilty about? We're not doing anything wrong."
"We kinda are." Miley opened her mouth to say something but Lilly held her had up stopping her. "No listen. We're dating, sharing a bed and making out. We both know that if he knew, we wouldn't be doing that. In fact I doubt I would even be allowed alone in your room with you."
Miley scoffed. "He is not that overprotective." Lilly gave her a disbelieving look. "Okay he is." Miley sighed. "How about this, we leave it for a few more days 'cause I kinda like the stealing kisses and bed time snuggles, then we'll come clean, deal?" Miley said, holding out her hand.
"Deal." Lilly said shaking the offered hand.
"Okay then." Miley said and pulled Lilly into a hug. "Are we finished with all the deep talk now, it's early and we haven't even had breakfast yet. Speaking of breakfast, that's why Daddy came up here, he said it's done."
"Breakfast is done? Really?" Lilly pulled away from Miley and started walking towards the exit.
Miley looked at her now empty arms and pouted. "But I wanted to steal one last kiss."
"No time for that Stewart." Lilly said, yanking the door open. "I smell waffles."
"Oh, come on."
"Fine." Lilly said, walking back, smiling. "But just a quick one because, waffles."
"I'll take what I can get." Miley said, returning the smile before meeting Lilly in a lip lock.

"Wow, Lola. You look hot." Miley said, walking up to Lilly and wrapping her arms around her neck.
"Thank you Hannah, you do too. But uh…we're not dating."
Miley frowned, taken aback. "We're not?"
"Nooo, Hannah and Lola are not dating therefore this right here." She pointed to their close proximity. "Isn't allowed."
"Oh." Miley said, catching on. "What if we take off the wigs?"
"The wigs we just spent ten minutes putting on?"
"Okay, we won't take the wigs off. But we're still in the Hannah closet, no one will know."
"True." Lilly nodded, wrapping her arms around Miley waist.
"And I know you wanna kiss me."
"Also true." Lilly stepped closer, tilting her head.
"And that lip gloss just makes your lips look so tasty."
"So why don't you taste them?"
Miley was leaning closer to do just that when someone knocked on the door. "Oh, sweet niblets." Miley grumbled when Lilly stepped away. "What is it?"
"Hey Bud, limo's here."
"Thanks Dad, we'll be down in a minute." She waited until she was sure he was gone before she turned to face Lilly who was just pocketing the lip gloss. "I love that man to death but if he interrupts us one more time he's gonna be in a world of hurt…and what are you doing with my lip gloss?"
Lilly just shrugged. "Stealing it."
"Yea?" Miley asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Yea, apparently it makes my lips look tasty." The blonde practically skipped out of the room.
"Hey, where are you going?" She asked, walking out of the closet.
Lilly stopped in the entrance of her room and turned to face Miley with that little cute smile on her face. "Didn't you hear your dad? The limo's here." She continued, walking out of the room but not before she puckering up her lips and blowing Miley a kiss.
Miley stared after then threw her hands up in a 'why me' kind of way before shouting. "Tease."
Jackson stopped outside her door and looked at her funny. "Miles did you just call Lilly a tease?"
"Um, yea…I-I did." She said, looking around flustered. "You see, she stole my lip gloss a-and she was…teasing me about it."
Jackson just shook his head. Girls, he would never understand them. "Okay Miles, well you'd better be getting a move on or Dad will start honking and shouting worse than Mamaw with road rage."
"I'm going now. Bye, bye, bye." Miley said and rushed out of the room, down the stairs, out of the house and in the limo. She glared at the white wigged girl, who sat in the back of the limo putting on more lip gloss. As if she even needed it. Miley huffed and crossed her arms.
"Everything okay there, Bud?" Looking up from the paper he was reading when he heard her huff.
"Yep, everything's just fine." She answered darkly, still glaring at Lilly and he went back to reading his paper. The other girl just smiled sweetly back at her and the blonde wigged popstar felt the corners of her mouth twitching, wanting to smile back. Stupid lips, traitors. Knowing she wouldn't be able to keep up her angry act if she kept looking at Lilly, Miley turned her head and stared out of the window.
"I'm sorry Miles." Lilly said as she moved closer and took Miley's hand. She leaned over and kissed the other girl on the cheek. "Better?" She asked, batting her eyelashes.
Miley turned around and grinned at her. "Yep, all better." She hugged the girl before moving back and going back to staring out of the window, still holding Lilly's hand and occasionally brushing her thumb over Lilly's knuckles. They both kept shooting each other glances and smiling or blushing when the other one caught them.
Robbie kept glancing up from his paper watching them curiously. He knew they'd always been close but they were never that close. The wheels in his head started turning and some things started adding up, like Miley's depression since Lilly started dating Oliver, the avoidance and now with the silly looks they were giving each other, he thought he'd finally reached an answer. He wasn't quite sure what he felt about it but he did know that Miley looked happier than he had ever seen her, and Lilly did as well and that was good enough for him. He told Miley he loved her no matter what and he had meant it. The only question that was on his mind was when were they going to tell him? That and, if they thought they were still going to be having sleepovers they had another thing coming. The limo stopped and he folded his paper, putting it on the seat next to him. "Time to go Hannah."
Miley actually looked startled by him, like she had forgot he was even in the limo. Robbie thought she probably had. "Uh…okay. Come on Lola. We got a concert to get too." Miley pushed open the limo door and climb out, still clutching Lilly's hand. She kept a hold on it all the way through the paparazzi that were shouting questions at her and taking pictures. She didn't even let go once she was inside the building.
"Hannah." Came a nasally voice from behind her.
She resisted the urge to roll her eyes, plastering on a fake smile instead as she turned around. "Traci, hi."
The nasal voiced girl came rushing over and her an air kiss on each cheek. She glared when she saw Lola. "Ugh, I thought you stopped hanging out with trash?"
Lola glared right back and gave Traci a forced sweet smile. "Obviously not since she still talks to you."
"Whatever." Traci said, rolling her eyes at Lola and turning to face Hannah. "Anyway, Hannah, I have a friend over there and he really wants your autograph." She pointed to a tall, dark, handsome boy that was leaning against the water dispenser smiling over at them. Traci leaned closer and whispered, "You can thank me later."
"Well if he wants an autograph, I'll give him one but that's all he's getting' from me."
Traci looked shocked. "Hannah, he's totally hot and single. He's funny too."
"Then why don't you date him? Let me guess, does he have a problem with girls that have sinus problems?" Lola said, stepping forward. She really didn't like the way Traci was pushing this guy on Hannah, especially considering Hannah was actually Miley, who was actually her girlfriend.
Traci just ignored her. "If you change your mind, we're just going to be over there."
Hannah smiled at her politely. "I'm not going to change my mind. Thanks for trying though, he really is a cutey." When Traci was gone Hannah pulled Lola away from the crowd and into her dressing room. "Lilly chill." She said, pushing the blonde onto the couch and taking a seat next to her. "People hit on me all the time. I'm a celebrity for crying out loud. But I want you to know that just because they hit on me, doesn't mean I'm going to do anything. Do you get that?" Lilly nodded. "Good, you know you can trust me right?"
Again, Lilly nodded. "I know I can trust you Miley, I just didn't like the way she was pushing him on you."
Miley wrinkled her nose in distaste. "Me neither. I mean, why would I want a big, stupid guy when I have my Lilly bear right here?"
Lilly looked unsure. "Really?"
"Yea. Why do you ask?" Miley asked, frowning in concern.
Lilly sighed. "It's just…Miley you're Hannah Montana. You surrounded by hot guys and beautiful girls daily. And I'm not exactly the most beautiful girl in the world or the smartest, or funniest. I'm definitely not the bravest. And I just don't think I can compete."
"Now you're a dope." Miley said, with a soft smile on her face. "You might not be the most beautiful, smartest, funniest, bravest girl in the world. But you are the most beautiful, smartest, funniest, bravest girl in my world, and that's all that matters to me."
Lilly returned the soft smile. "You're pretty, amazingly awesome Miley Ray Stewart."
"Oh yea?" Miley said, moving closer.
"Yea." Lilly said, tilting her head slightly and wetting her lips in anticipation.
Miley watched her tongue flick out, transfixed by that simple gesture. "Did I mention how tasty your lips look?"
"I'm still waiting for you to taste them." Lilly said, gaze switching from Miley's eye to her lips which were slowly getting closer.
"Hannah Montana to the stage. Hannah Montana to the stage…" A voice called over the intercom, interrupting them.
"You have got to be kidding me." Miley shouted at the ceiling.
Lilly laughed. "You better get going superstar, your fans are calling."
"Can I get a quick kiss for luck?" Miley asked, with a hopeful look on her face.
Lilly leaned forward and gave her a quick peak on the lips. "Good luck."
Miley was grinning like an idiot as she got up from the couch and pulled Lilly up after her. "Come on, I'm going to need my good luck charm insight at all times."
The singer left her just to the side of stage as she rushed out and greeted her fans before the opening strands of 'Don't walk away' began playing and Miley stepped forward to sing.
I've been, running, in circles all day long
I'm out of breath, but I'm still going strong
Miley turned her head to look at Lilly as she sang the next part.
I'm gonna get you, yeah no matter what they say
You think I'm losing but I always get my way
Lilly grinned and rolled her eyes, but inside Miley singing to just her, was doing things to her that the other girl would never understand.
Don't walk away when I'm talking to you
This ain't no time for your bad attitude
Don't gimme, that face
When you know I'm really down for the chase
Coz my hearts already in it
And I'm never gonna quit it
When you finally gonna get it
Don't walk away
Miley smiled at her again then turned her head, singing to the audience and Lilly watched the rest of the concert with a smile so big it made her cheeks hurt.

Robbie Ray pulled the car into the driveway and shut off the engine. He turned around and saw both girls crashed out, sleeping, snuggled tightly in the backseat. They looked so cute that he almost felt bad for having to wake them up but he knew they'd thank him for it in the morning when they could still move. He reached across and shook Miley awake. "Hey Bud, we're home."
Miley scrunched up her face and looked around before groggily shaking Lilly awake. "Lils wake up, we're back."
The blonde moved away from Miley and stretched and yawned before letting the dark-haired girl pull her out of the car and into the house. Robbie sighed and climb out of the car, just behind them. He saw they were just about to go upstairs and he remembered what he was sure he'd figured out earlier. "Uh...Miles, Lilly…" He was going to tell them that Lilly had to sleep in the guest room but when both girls stopped and turned to look at him and the exact same expectant and tired expression, he couldn't do it. Robbie scratched the back of his neck awkwardly. "Goodnight." They both said goodnight back and carried on up the stairs, still holding hands. Robbie set about cleaning up after Jackson. He did not know how that boy managed to make such a mess when he hardly left the couch.
Miley threw her wig across the room and Lilly did the same. Lilly grabbed a pyjama set and got changed in the bathroom whilst Miley got change in her room. When Lilly came out of the bathroom Miley was already in bed, lying on her side with her head propped up on her hand. The blonde slid under the covers and looked at Miley quizzically. "What?"
Miley didn't answer. She just leaned forward and kissed the other girl for all she was worth, she pulled back to see Lilly looking wide eyed and breathless and she grinned. "I've been wanting to do that all damn day." And then she rolled over on her back, letting Lilly snuggle into her side.
