A/N: Had this flash of inspiration while trying to finish the first chapter of my 50th fic [an HM one…you guys are a bad influence ;) ] It may get posted tonight, if I can get a little more done.

April Fools

By Melissa

Jackson stood by the glass doors, peering out into the late afternoon. Lilly sat on the couch watching him.

"Anything yet?"

"Nope. She'll be here soon though. Is the DVD player cued up?"

The blonde girl held up the remote and wiggled in a little bit. "Ready and raring."

The sandy haired boy evilly smiled. Oh yes, this was going to be good.

A few more minutes passed before he spotted their quarry. "She's coming!"

Jackson ran from the door and vaulted over the couch. He landed right next to Lilly. She leaned into him as he swung his arm around her shoulder. She pressed play on the remote. A movie began playing, cueing up about half way through the feature.

Miley walked through the door and dropped her backpack. Stupid after school study sessions. She was resigned to them though because she wanted a good grade on the upcoming History exam.

"Hey Jackson!" she called as she made her way to the kitchen.

"Hi Miles."

"Hey Miley!" Lilly called out.

The singer slowly turned from what she was doing. She had only seen the back of Jackson's head when she came in, so was a bit startled by the other voice. Now she saw why. Lilly had had her head tucked low into her brother's shoulder.

Well that ain't right.

"Lilly?"

The skater lifted her hand in greeting before dropping it back to her lap.

Miley forgot the kitchen and walked into the living room. There she saw her brother and best friend looking rather…cozy. She turned to regard the television, to see what was playing.

"What are you guys watching?"

"Ghost," Lilly cooed happily.

"And after that, we're going to watch Titanic," Jackson added, giving his companion a light kiss on the head.

Miley was doing a great impression of a fish out of water. "B-But…those are like two of the most romantic movies of all time!!"

"We know!!" the couch dwellers said simultaneously. They both leaned in and rubbed their noses together.

"Eep!!"

"Hey, that's my 'eep!'" Lilly said, a little indignantly.

"You…you two cannot be…into each other!!"

"Why not? I can't believe all this time I haven't gone after this beautiful creature."

"You're my brother!!" She gestured to Jackson. "And you're my best friend!!!" This was directed to Lilly.

"What can I say? I finally saw the light." Jackson was looking dead at his sister as he said this.

"No! No no no no no no no!! Sweet amazing niblets…you two are not together!! No!"

Lilly watched her best friend rant and was trying her hardest not to laugh. To say she was buying it was an understatement.

"I forbid it!!"

"You can't tell us what to do! We're meant to be together!!" Lilly put her other arm around Jackson, holding him tightly, attempting to keep a straight face.

The boy stood up from the couch, Lilly still clinging to him.

"You're just going to have to deal with it, Miles."

The blonde let go and stood up, she gave a wink to Jackson before turning to face Miley.

The singer rolled her eyes. She had to something about this. Something drastic.

The skater decided they had pulled Miley's chain enough.

"April..."

Lilly didn't get to finish the statement as Miley grabbed her and kissed her soundly.

"…Fools." Jackson finished, a smug look on his face.

The two girls broke the kiss.

"I knew it," Lilly whispered, lips still tingling.

"You…you tricked me? This was all a joke??"

"Yup. Next time, sis, just man up and tell her how you feel. Lilly, I like ya, but I need to go and shower to get this moment off of me."

"Right back at ya, Jackson. Thanks again!!"

Miley stared at Lilly. "You guys set this all up?"

"Guilty."

"Was that really necessary?? Couldn't you have just confronted me?"

"I could have. But this was so much more fun."

"Shut up." The brunette pulled her best friend back to her for another scorching kiss.
