Okay, I dunno. I feel like I should say something, but I don't know what. Oh I know! Anyone who reviews gets a piece of chocolate! And if you don't have one then tough. Thanx to aprilrainer15, Xx.maddy-sparx.xX, nysunsetangel, hawaibabe, Princess Kazula, and Sam for reviewing chapter 10! You guys don't just rock, you roll! And the song in this chapter is EXTREMELY long! But please read it! It's important, and there's dialog in it!
Disclaimer: So I was babysitting my cousins last night, and when their mom paid me this morning I was like, "Can I have the rights to Hannah Montana as payment?" She laughed. :( But I did get $35!
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" Miley screamed at the top of her lungs, something Jake could hear from next door. Lilly's face scrunched up in pain.
"Miley, what's wrong?!" Jackson came running down the stairs holding a broom up in the air and waving it around wildly, a 'fearless' expression written on his face.
"I-ha-oo-iss- AKE!" She cried.
"Drama-queen lil sister say what?!" Jackson asked, mimicking her usual saying.
"She said she has to kiss Jake." Lilly explained while awkwardly patting Miley, who's head was on her shoulder in despair, on the back.
"That's it?!" Jackson stomped loudly, and immaturely, back up the stairs, upset that he couldn't use his broom.
Jake walked in and said, in a smug voice, "Something a matter?"
Miley turned to him, an icy glare in her eyes. Pointing at him threateningly, she said in a dangerous tone, "You!"
He held up his hands in self defense. "Hey, don't shoot the messenger." This just caused her to cross her arms and glare more intensely at the neighbor she so desperately despised.
"Students, students, settle down!" Mr. Correlli instructed, waving his hands downward in an attempt to settle his drama class.
It had been three weeks since the beginning of the school year, and he had been randomly selecting students to do different parts from the movie.
The students sat down in their rightful spots, trying their best to stop their noise. "Ok, now today I think for Bromley we'll try… Oken. And for King William we'll do Mark. Queen Uberta let's try…" Amber stuck her hand up to ask a probably stupid question. "Amber." As she opened her mouth to ask her question, he went on. "For Derrick, the only person left is Jake Ryan!
"And that leaves Odette. Well, hmm, we haven't done" Miley crossed her fingers, silently praying not to get picked. Mr. Correlli scanned his list and landed on one name. "Miley Stewart."
"This otta be good." Amber said snidely, crossing her arms. Mr. Correlli turned the CD player on, making it so the voices were off. The five chosen for the parts stood.
Jake: I can't believe I'm stuck with her all summer. I'll bet she doesn't wrestle, hunt, or box!
Miley: He looks conceited.
Jake: When it's on, oh bummer.
Both: If I get lucky I'll get chicken pox!
Jake turned to Miley, acting, with a fake smile on his face. "So happy you could come." He sang.
Miley (matching his smile): So happy to be here.
Both (Smiles slowly fading as they sang through gritted teeth): How I'd like to run!
Miley: This is not my idea-
Jake: This isn't my idea, (both:) of fun!
Amber and Mark sang their next parts, quite well actually. Then it moved to the next verse.
Mark: Good heavens, child! Don't dawdle. We can't keep Derrick waiting.
Says who? Miley inwardly thought, though she sang: I haven't packed or washed my hair, and father, I get sea-sick!
Amber: They soon will be arriving. Is that, the respect you're showing?!
Jake: If you make me kiss her hand again, I swear I'm gonna be sick!
Mark: One day Prince Derrick will be her intended.
Amber: Oh, splendid!
Jake: We've tried all summer, but we just can't lose her! (They'll say a few lines in the play) When picking teams,
Oliver: Or friends!
Jake: I'd never choose her.
Oliver: You think she'd take a hint and learn to read!
Miley: This really isn't fair!
Jake and Oliver: We really couldn't care!
Miley: Boys it's all or none! This is not my idea-
Jake and Oliver: This isn't my idea, (All three:) of fun!
Chorus: Long before they met, Derrick and Odette, were destined to be wedded.
Girls' half: However anyone can see,
Boys' half: The only point on which they didn't disagree,
Girls' half: Was that the very thought of summertime
Chorus: Was dreaded.
Jake: She tries to talk me into playing dress-up. She's always flirting with the castle guards.
Oliver: I think you really sorta like her, fess up!
Jake: I'd like her better if she'd lose at cards! Four sevens and a ten!
Miley (With a happy smile): I think I've won again.
Jake and Oliver: Every time she's won!
Miley: This is my idea-
Jake and Oliver: This isn't my idea (all three:) of fun!
Chorus: We need a royal wedding. I'd love to be invited!
Boys' half: At least we'll get a holiday to rest our plows and axes.
Girls' half: Someday these two will marry!
Boys' half: Two lands will be united! And with some luck their marriage may result in lower taxes!
Mark: What if Odette doesn't go for the merger?
Amber: Urge her!
Jake and Miley (it's about time!): For as long as I remember, we've been told we'd someday wed. Every June until September!
Jake: All their pushing and annoying hints!
Miley: I've got bruises with their finger prints!
Jake: I can do much better, I am sure!
Miley (Crossing her arms for effect): He's so immature! (Face softens) I see him smiling and my knees start buckling. I see inside him and my doubts are gone.
Jake: She started out as such an ugly duckling. (For fun effect, Miley holds a hand over her heart in an offended manor and drops her jaw, receiving small chuckles.) And some how suddenly became a swan.
Miley: So happy to be here. (she and Jake curtsy/bow)
Jake: Til now I never knew,
Both: It is you I've been dreaming of.
Jake: This is my idea.
Miley: This is my idea.
Amber and Mark w/ chorus in the background: What a good idea. Such a charming and romantic notion.
Girls' half, then boy's half: This is my idea. Such a good idea. What a good idea. (Together:) Such a powerful and magic notion. This is exactly my idea, of… love.
"And we'll stop there. Good work everyone. Cast list will be posted tomorrow." The bell rang after Mr. Correlli said this, causing everyone to leave in a mad rush.
After school, Jake went to his tree house and laid down on his sleeping bag, staring lovingly at the picture of Hannah Montana he had recently hung there. The reason he chose her over Miley was that way, he could blame Oliver of being a love-struck fan if anyone asked.
He'd noticed, not that he was really paying attention, that Miley had been staring… lovingly at him during the end of that song. And she'd smiled! Not sarcastic or scripted either!
He sighed contentedly and read over his lines for Zombie High: The Movie, being careful to memorize page 41. He had a feeling that he would have trouble when it came to filming that page.
Meanwhile, Lilly and Miley were in her bedroom, avoiding homework. "Come on Miley, I saw the looks you were giving him!" Lilly said knowingly.
Face turning red, Miley reiterated, "What looks? It was in the script."
"Uh, I was following along and those smiles and lovey-eyes weren't in it!" Miley rolled her eyes, dropping the subject.
Something had come over her during that song, something weird. It was like that was her past, present, and, though not wanting to admit it, future.
She shrugged it off and started packing her backpack. The next day, the four of them were going to the studio to start filming, and she and Lilly needed their disguises.
Ok, I know most of this chapter was the song, but that took a lot of work! I typed it all out! Now you see why I made those changes! If you wanna see a cool video with that song, go to YouTube and type in 'This Is My Idea Lolliver'. There are some really cool parts, like the third verse, which they do at the dance. And in the end with Hannah dancing, it's cool!
