Mikayla exited her room; she decided to check out the pool. She had seen all of the crazy fans that Hannah had. No one other than Mr. Moseby seemed to care that she was there. Maybe he was a fan or something. She didn't seem to have many left but she had literally disappeared for 2 years. She went over to the juice bar.
"Can I get some pomegranate juice?" She asked.
"Coming right up." Zack said as he turned around and smiled at her.
"Hey you're kind of cute, Zack" She said to him, reading his name tag.
"Thank you but I have a girlfriend." Zack responded.
"Where is she?" Mikayla asked.
"Right behind you." Max said, appearing behind the girl with red hair extensions.
"I'm sorry for flirting with your boyfriend." Mikayla said. "So what's your name?"
"It's Maxine but everyone calls me Max." The brunette said. "So we were wondering what you're doing here."
"Well I came here with my friend Justin." Mikayla answered.
"You know If Cupid Had A Heart is our song." Max mentioned.
"Well it's nice to know that someone stills remembers me." Mikayla said. "Everyone else seems to be more focused on Hannah."
Mr. Moseby walked over to Hannah Montana's room. Kirby was standing in front of the door trying to block the teens from entering.
"Hello Kirby" Moseby said as he knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" He heard Hannah say.
"Marion Moseby, the cruise director." Moseby said.
Hannah opened the door to let him inside.
"I'm sorry about all of the hubbub but you must be used to it." He said after walking in.
"Just because I'm used to it doesn't mean I like it." Hannah said as she started to eat an apple from the fruit basket.
"Well can deliver any meals to your room and if you need any time to yourself, just call the front desk." Moseby said. "We of the S.S. Tipton are so proud to have both you and Mikayla here.
Hannah spit the apple out of her mouth. "Ship director say what?" She asked. "You didn't tell me that Mikayla was going to be here."
"Well she came at the last minute. She didn't even call. She just showed up with the winner of our essay contest." Moseby said. "Luckily we had enough time to change her room."
"Well that certainly is a surprise." Hannah said through her teeth.
"You probably won't even see her." Lola commented. "with all of the fans constantly crowding your room and all."
"Indeed." Moseby said as he left the room.
Justin Russo walked onto the sky deck's paleontology exhibit. While he was looking around, he saw London Tipton walk onto the same part.
"Now who's going to help me with project on fossils, whatever those are." She thought out loud.
Justin hid at first but then realized that it might be a chance to talk to her.
"I know a lot about fossils." He said.
"Who are you? Do you work here?" London asked.
"No I'm Justin Russo. I'm a passenger." The boy said. "But I'll only help you if you go out with me."
Justin wondered why he had said something like that and expected to be slapped in the face. He was shocked when she said. "Okay but you better be a good kisser."
"So when should I pick you up." Justin asked.
"You don't have to pick me up but let's eat now." London said. Justin grabbed hand and took her to the restaurant.
Mikayla watched Justin, walk with London. "My God it actually worked." She said.
"Do you know him?" Max asked.
"Yeah that's the guy that I came here with." Mikayla answered. "He seemed really interested in meeting London."
"I see." Zack said from behind the bar. "So what happened to you? You haven't really done anything in two years."
"Well I was spending time to myself, after my label dropped me and all." Mikayla lied. "I haven't really been able to find a new one."
"Are you opening for Hannah or something?" Zack asked.
"No I'm here on vacation." Mikayla said trying to be calm. "Enough with the questions."
Before she could get an answer, she was interrupted by a flash. When she came out of her daze, she saw a paparazzo looking at her with a smile.
"Damn it." Mikayla yelled. "Can't you go bother someone else."
"Hannah's locked in her room." The man said as he took another picture of her.
"Leave her alone." Zack said. "Or I'll tell my boss that you're harassing the passengers."
The paparazzo walked away not looking happy.
"Do those people have souls?" Max asked.
"I don't know but why would he want a picture of me anyway?" Mikayla questioned.
"Maybe because you were out of the public eye so long." Max guessed.
"Well then it's a good thing that they didn't get a picture of me and Justin." Mikayla said. "Oh no."
"What?" Zack asked.
"I have a feeling he might see London and Justin." Mikayla said.
"Well if they're on a date, they can't say anything that isn't true." Zack said.
"We maybe we should go down there just in case." Max suggested.
"I can't" Zack said.
"Then we'll just go, bye Zack." Mikayla said as she and Max left.
"Damn it." Zack said.
Hannah took out the phone and called the desk
"Marion Moseby." Moseby answered.
"Hey Mr. Moseby. Do you think you can reserve the restaurant for me and Lola?" The popstar asked.
"I can make it so no one else can get in but I can't kick people out." Moseby said.
"Is it busy?" Hannah asked
"At this time of night it shouldn't be." Moseby said.
"Okay we'll be right down." Hannah said as she hung up the phone. "Come on Lilly, let's go."
Zack walked into the restaurant that was essentially empty except for London, Justin, Max and Mikayla.
"I'm sorry sir but the restaurant is closed." The host said.
"I'm with them." Zack said pointing to Max and Mikayla.
The host looked at the girls and they nodded. He let Zack through.
"Why is the restaurant closed?" Zack asked.
"We're not sure." Max said. "It was open when we got here."'
Then they saw Hannah Montana and her friend Lola Luftnagle walk in, the waiter was shocked and tripped causing the cake that London had ordered to go flying at Zack
"Why is it you're always covered in cake?" Hannah said before noticing Mikayla. "What the hell are you doing here?"
"I'm on vacation. Last I checked it was a free country." Mikayla scoffed.
"You know I was seriously happy this day was going. The part where I didn't see you." Hannah said.
"Well if you wanted your show to be worth going to you would ask me to be your opening act. Or better yet, you can be my opening act."
"ENOUGH!" Max yelled. "You two have no reason to hate each other!"
"That girl is crazy." Lola whispered to Zack.
"That girl happens to be my girlfriend." Zack whispered back.
"She started it." Hannah said.
"Do I have to lock you two in the same room until you settle your differences?" Max asked in frustration.
"Trust me, she'll do it." Zack said.
"So let's talk. Why do you two hate each other?" Max said.
"I don't know." Mikayla said.
"Well I wanted to be friends with her and she shot me down." Hannah said.
"That's a start, Mikayla, why did you do that?" Max asked.
"My label wanted me to be the anti-Hannah." Mikayla explained. "They said it was okay to be friends with her on-screen but told me not to off-screen."
"Isn't that the same label that dropped you?" Max asked. "The label that only gave you one hit song."
"Wow. The people at my label were pricks." Mikayla said. "I guess that gives me no reason to not be friends with you."
"Tell me something I don't know." Hannah said.
"That would make a good song title." Mikayla said.
"You know what I think I will let you open the show for me." Hannah said.
"Thanks for the offer but I'd rather stay out of show business." Mikayla said.
"Hannah can do me a favor?" Zack asked.
"How many tickets do you need?" Hannah asked.
"Just two. They're for my brother and his girlfriend. She's a big fan." The boy said.
"Aww that's sweet." Lola said.
Suddenly Hannah's phone rang. "Hello. No way! That sucks. I'll find someone. Bye" She chatted.
"What was that about?" Max asked.
"One of my backup dancers has the flu and can't make it to Hawaii. Now I need to find a new one." Hannah answered
"Max can do it. She's a really good dancer." Zack suggested.
"I guess I could." Max said.
"I need to use the little girl's room." Hannah said as she got up and walked into the restaurant's bathroom. She hadn't seen anyone else in the restaurant, so it should have been empty. She removed her wig and began to wash her face.
Suddenly one of the stall doors opened and London walked out.
Justin and London's date will be covered in the next chapter. I included the bickering between Hannah and Mikayla with some reconsiliation. After all Mikayla has to go back to being Alex.
