"Well, well, well...if it isn't Miss Lillian back from planet Jonai," she smirked, opening the door wider for the blonde girl. She knew that there was alot she had missed out on during her tour but, she couldn't blame the girl infront of her. It was a journey that she obviously had to take alone or else it would never have happened. She knew the boys were still in town until the end of next week and she knew that Lilly would introduce them. She'd do it in her own time – you couldn't push the girl into anything.

"Ha ha Miles...you know that's not the case," she blushed, brushing past her friend. She silently thanked whoever for her best-friend not to be mad at her. She needed a shoulder at the moment and she had hoped Miley would offer. Everything was moving fast and she needed it to slow down. She was afraid she'd be thrown off course soon.

"Right...so you left your best-friend hanging because of nothing? Mhmm...I think details are in order," she stated, raising a curious brow at her friend. It wasn't the first time secrets were kept among them. She knew how hard it was for Lilly to release her secret about Ryan but, she also knew that the girl was hiding a few other things aswell. It wasn't everyday Lilly opened up.

"Joe and I...well...we're giving it a go..." she mumbled, slumping onto the couch. She winced slightly as Miley let out a squeal and jumped next to her. She wondered slightly why she wasn't as excited but, she was in too much of a daze. She needed to get away from everything because it was all becoming too much. Things were getting out of control again.

"You're not excited...why?" she questioned, crossing her arms before her. She was worried about Lilly – she had only been so...dazed when she had told her of her past. It was obvious that Lilly was happy, but, she knew how the girl got. When she felt things were getting out of control, she delved deeper into herself. Looking for something – waiting for the world to stop spinning.

"I am...I am excited Miles...I...I really like him...I just...everything is moving so fast – should it be this fast?" she asked helpless, staring at her hands before gazing helpless at her friend. She didn't mean to dump it all on the girl – she was supposed to be excited. Joseph Jonas had asked her to give him a chance; he had chosen her. Out of everyone in the world, the boy of many girls' dreams had chosen her. She should be ecstatic.

"It only takes a second to realise you've fallen for someone Lils...you know aswell as I do that you can't control the heart," she whispered, casting a worried glance at her friend. She wasn't aware that the girl was feeling so out of control – she'd have to talk with Ryan. They didn't want Lilly falling back into her old life and she was sure that Lilly didn't want that to happen. She understood the girls' dilemma; nothing had ever gone 'good' for her since she had moved to Malibu. She couldn't believe that Joe would fall for her.



"I'm just scared Miles...I don't want to break again," she murmured, bringing her knees to her chin. She knew she was being self-conscious but, she didn't want to feel the pain again. Ryan had healed her broken past but left her in pieces when he walked out. Joe...if she let him completely in – she knew she'd fall helplessly for him. She could feel that she already had; she just needed to be sure.

"Aw sweetie...their good boys Lils...you just need to trust them," she smiled sadly, pulling the small girl into her arms. She had never seen Lilly so open with her feelings before now – the girl was always protecting her heart. She wondered if Joe was beginning to get through to the girl; she was actually willing to feel again. She knew that along with the love came the pain but, she knew Joe would stand by Lilly. The Jonas boys always stood by their friends.

"What if...what if I can't?" she whimpered, leaning on her friend. She could feel the shock course through Miley but, she knew that her friend could help her. It wasn't a usual occurrence for her to be so open with her emotions but, she felt as if she needed to let her friend completely in. She knew Miley wouldn't betray her – she wouldn't turn away as others had.

"That's up for you to decide..." she shrugged, aware of the glare that Lilly sent her way. She refused to offer the girl answers on her heart – only Lilly could do that. She'd interfere any other way but, when it came to matters of the heart, Lilly was the only one that could decide. She knew that Lilly would figure it out – the girl always did. She had saved herself from destruction before and she could safe herself from isolation.

"You're no help," she muttered angrily, crossing her arms indignantly. It wasn't that she was angry – she already knew Miley's answer before she had even asked the question. The two knew each other inside and out and she could hear the logic behind it all. It was up for her to decide – and she had to decide fast. She knew Joe wouldn't wait around but she also knew that his feelings for her ran quite deep. She could see it in his eyes everytime he looked at her.

"I think you need to get out of here," Miley grinned, pulling the girl up by her hands. They needed some bonding time and then Lilly could take her to meet her new 'friends.' She could see that Lilly was already missing them, it was in every move the girl made and she just wanted her to be happy. They'd spend the day at the beach or mall and then go back and relax at Ryans' suite.

"Where are you taking me...?" she whined playfully, giggling as her brunette friend lead her towards the limo waiting. She had missed Mileys' outrageous behaviour and was excited to see what was in store for the two of them today. She needed to get her mind off of everything that had been happening.



"Looks as if it's a boys day today..." Ryan observed, watching as Lilly snuck out the door. He knew she would've kept her outing hidden from Joe or else she would've said something. He took it upon himself to distract Joe from her missing presence and not let the boy feel too down about her whereabouts. He knew she needed to do this alone but he also knew what Joe would be feeling – he had been there before.

"What are you talking about?" Nick asked, waltzing into the suite. Kevin was close behind him and they were looking for Joe. They knew he could either only be in the suite or else downstairs getting breakfast. They had seen the Lilly sneaking down the hall and just took a guess as to where their brother was – he was quite attached to the blonde already. They feared what he'd be like when they began their tour again.

"Lillys' gone out for awhile," Joe answered, shutting the door to her room. She had said she needed to do what she was doing alone and he believed her. He needed her to understand that he wasn't there to judge – just to heal. He didn't want to be a burden to her and he accepted that there were some aspects of her life that he doesn't know about yet.

"Oh...so, what are we gonna do then?" Kevin questioned, sliding onto the kitchen tabletop. He enjoyed having his brothers around him but he could feel Joe's disappointment. They weren't spending long in Malibu and he knew his brother wanted to make the most of it.

"Um...I dunno...I guess we can't really go anywhere public 'cause...obviously...what about just laxin and playing some xbox or something?" Ryan offered, munching on a chip. He didn't really feel like getting mobbed by fans at the moment – he'd prefer to just bond with the boys. He knew that Lilly felt strongly for Joe and he had a feeling that they'd be around for a while. She wouldn't have let them in so far if they weren't going to be.

"I'm up for it...I can kick your ass at guitar hero," Nick smirked, stealing the chips from Ryan. He was already comfortable around the boy and knew they'd get along great. They both held something passionate about them and they were following their dreams. He'd be a perfect addition to their friends.

"Oh...I don't think so...I believe I'm the king at guitar hero," Joe mocked, pushing his little brother into the couch. His smile grew as Kevin let out a grunt of indignation – they all knew he was the better guitar player. He needed to get his mind off of Lilly and back onto normal things – he could sort out his feelings later on. Right now he wanted to enjoy the time with his brothers and Ryan. He wanted to get back to normal slowly.

"Bring it on..." Kevin grinned maniacally, jumping over the back of the arm chair and landing softly on the couch. His brothers could get fairly competitive and he was eager to see how Ryan reacted. He wasn't sure if the skate-boarder could pay the game or not but he was about to find out. No one met the Jonas Brothers and escaped without a fair beating at guitar hero.



"Miles...don't be too eager 'bout meeting them," Lilly grinned, watching as her friend bounced back and forth. She could feel the anticipation in the air and sighed slightly. She just hoped Ryan had told them all of her secrets.

"I've met them before," Miley stated, crossing her arms. Her excitement was bubbling beneath the surface and she was eager to meet them. They stood in the elevator as it took the long journey up to the hotel suite. She grinned in anticipation.

"Not as Miley," Lilly countered, winking towards her friend. She could see her happiness at meeting the boys in 'real' life but, she needed to calm down alittle. She wasn't sure what the boys' would be like but she knew what Ryan would be like. He'd probably still be asleep or just watching dvds – she wasn't sure what the brothers' would be like. She excited to see Joe again though.

"Oh shut up..." she mumbled, glaring at her friend. Her glare soon turned into a smile as the elevator doors opened and Lilly began the walk towards the suite door. She couldn't wait to see Nick in the flesh – she was eager to see if he was really as sweet as the magazines said. Her time as Hannah wasn't enough for her; she wanted to get the boys as herself. Lilly had the chance and now so did she.

"I will take you down fro-bro!" a voice shouted, followed by a loud thump. The girls looked at each other worriedly before bursting through the closed door. What they saw shocked both of them. Ryan Sheckler was sitting ontop of Nicks' chest, happily playing the xbox as Nick struggled helpless. Joe and Kevin were wrestling roughly on the ground beside them – filling the room with echoed grunts and whimpers of pain. The room had looked as if a tornado had hit – pillows were ruined and feathers were skewered across the room.

"What the hell happened here?!" Lilly screamed, stopping the boys fighting and turning the attention onto the two girls. The boys' eyes widened before looking wildly around the room – wincing at the mess they had caused.

"Lilly?!" Joe and Ryan squeaked, jumping abruptly to their feet. Blushing, they looked at their feet as Nick and Kevin smirked towards the two. It was obvious that the girl had the two boys' wrapped tightly around her finger and they were amused by it all. Usually their hotel rooms were left in such a state and neither of the boys' felt remorse for it.

"Care to explain..." she observed, crossing her arms and glaring at the four boys. She wouldn't let them get off of the hook so easily – she knew it would be up to her to clean it up. She remembered what Ryan was like and he was always such a mess. She hid the laughter beneath her furious stare but she knew Miley was just waiting to crack – just as she was.

"It's called a boys' day Lillian..." Ryan mocked, poking his tongue out at the girl. She could see the laughter behind her gaze and he knew he could push her enough to let it out. The girl behind her was already grinning widely but he wasn't sure if it was because of the boys or because it was funny.

"Oh come on Lilly...it appears they've...bonded," Miley smirked, looking between the four boys. She had felt the comfortable atmosphere within the room and she welcomed the feel of it. The four had become friends and she knew that Lilly was the common goal amongst it all. Despite what her friend believed – many though Lilly was a wonderful addition to their circle of friends.

"Apparently..." she said dryly, watching as a slice of pizza slipped off of the ceiling and landing on Kevins face. Her laughter erupted immediately as they all saw the indignation flash across the elder boys' face. Her shopping bags dropped to the ground as he disgustedly pulled the food off of his face.

"Now you laugh..." he commented, glaring at the five that were laughing at him. He liked that the tension was eased but also curious as to the girl standing behind Lilly. He recognised her from somewhere but he couldn't pin-point it at all. It was unnerving him to say the least.

"Whose that?" Nick questioned, nodding his head in the direction of the brunette behind Lilly. They weren't close as friends but he could see the affect she had on Joe and he welcomed the girl warmly. His brother lit up as the girl walked into the room and he only wished he could find that in a girl.

"This...this is Miley Stewart...my best-friend," she smiled, stepping aside so the room could catch full view of the girl. She noticed the younger Jonas' eyes widen in surprise and she smiled to herself. It would be interesting to see what Miley tells the boys' about her frequent 'holidays' – or if she'd even tell them the truth.

"Sweet nibblets it's the Jonai," she breathed, causing the boys to blush and Lilly to send a playful glare towards her. She couldn't help it – as Hannah Montana she hardly ever got star-struck but as Miley Stewart; the boys' before her were the most sort-after in the world. She could hardly stand as she gazed around the room. Ryan Sheckler just topped the cake with his presence as well.

"Um...I prefer Joe," Joe blushed lightly, extending his hand towards the brunette. He wanted to get along with the girl before him because he could see that she was important to Lilly. He wanted to make a good impression and he hoped he had – minus the little mess of the hotel room.

"I know who you are," she smirked, winking towards the boy. She could see his blush deepen and released a little giggle. She knew he wanted to make a good impression but he really didn't have too – Lilly was what was important. If she found him special enough to open her heart to him, then so could she.



"Right...famous," he mumbled, slumping onto the couch. His blush deepened as he realised his fault and mumbled underneath his breath. His brothers patted him slightly on the shoulder in laughter before turning back towards the two girls.

"Miley, stop teasing him," Lilly admonished, hitting her friends shoulder lightly. She knew what Joe was trying to do and she felt proud of the fact – he wanted to impress her friends for her. It showed he cared and that was all she could ever ask for.

"Little protective are we Lillian?" Ryan asked, slinging his arm around her shoulders and whispering in her air. He felt her face redden and he laughed loudly. Releasing his hold on her, he pushed her towards the pouting Joe – knowing that they'd be happier together than apart.

"You are a dick," she muttered angrily, glaring at the boy. She slumped onto the couch next to Joe and grabbed his hand in hers. She smiled as their tension seemed to ease and just gazed up at the others in the room. She knew that Miley would be accepted among the group because they were already accepting her.

"Ease up on the boy Lilly...it's only alittle fun," Nick grinned, ruffling the girls blonde hair. He was more at ease with her now and he had noticed the attachment Joe had. Just holding her hand and his brother was set at ease – it was hard not to like the girl. She pulled Joe out of his emotional turmoil and set him at ease.

"You know...we should all do something tonight," Kevin interrupted, looking around the group. He had seen the subtle looks shared between occupants in the room and he was willing to expand on those ideas. He just wanted everyone to get along and have a good time before they were set to go back on tour. He wanted his brothers to remember their time in Malibu gladly.

"Like what?" Ryan asked, jumping onto the arm-chair beside the couch. He looked expectantly at the eldest Jonas and watched as Nick led Miley to a seat beside him – he grinned at the younger boy. Nick wasn't usually such an 'open' guy infront of a new person but, he was learning quite quickly that good things can happen in an instant. Joe was showing him the way.
