Author's Note: It's been far too long. Monday, October 22, 2007 to be exact. That was the last time I posted a chapter of Liley. Well I have returned with a new story in tow, Back to the Future. No, you will not see Marty McFly or Doc Brown. You will see Miley and Lilly along with their family and friends and several new people that will come into their lives.

In the spirit of the newest element that I have added for your reading pleasure, here are the new characters you will be introduced to in our story.

(Miley's voice) "Previously in The Best of Both Worlds…"

"London, it's Miley. I tried Maddie's place and she wasn't home. I don't know if she's with you, but anyway… I'm ready to make my move with Lilly. I just don't know what move that is yet. I know you said that y'all would come to Malibu to help me and I don't know if you were serious, but if you were serious, then I would really love to see your faces…"

"Looks like she needs us, baby." Maddie said softly.

"So I guess we need to pack some bags, huh?" Maddie said.

"I guess we do." London said.


"Well… were you guys serious about coming out here to help me?" Miley asked.

"Of course we were! If you need us there, we are there tomorrow." Raven said.

"I need you here." Miley said matter-of-factly.

"Chels! Call Eddie and Gina and ask them if they can emergency baby-sit! We've got to go to Cali!" Raven yelled.

"Miley Rae Stewart, I am 53 years old and I have seen a lot in this world. There's a lot that I don't understand, but there's a lot that I do. Try me." Robby Ray said.

"The person that has me so 'melancholy' as you put it… is Lilly." Miley said, pausing for a second to let it sink in. "I'm falling in love with her."


"Hey Miles! How'd things with Jennkayla go?" London smushed Jennifer's real and professional names together.

"I… kinda… sorta… kissed… her." Miley trailed off at the end.

"YOU DID WHAT?" London exclaimed.


"Now that we know each other's names… what is going on, Jenn?" Miley asked.

"I have no idea, baby." Jennifer purred.

"Baby?" Lilly said under her breath.


"It wasn't enough that you tried to ruin her career as Hannah Montana, but now you've got to fuck up her personal life too?" Lilly spat.

"LEAVE SOME FOR THE REST OF US! GO BREAK SOMEBODY ELSE'S HEART!" Lilly screamed.


"…you started crying and…" Miley took a moment to catch herself as her emotions threatened to overtake her. "… you looked so beautiful, inside and out. It was… It was… the moment… I fell in love with you."

"I was so angry at Jennifer this evening… because she had what I wanted."

"What was that?" Miley asked, knowing what the answer would be but wanting to hear it nonetheless.

Lilly smiled. "You." She said softly. "I wanted you. I am in love with you, Miley Ray Stewart."


"Oh my God! You two are moving to Nashville?" Maddie exclaimed as the rest of the ladies chimed in and began congratulating Lilly and Miley.

"Miley, you missed one congratulatory hug." An icy yet sexy voice said from just out of everyone's view. When the woman came into view, everyone except Miley and Lilly gasped in shock. The woman was the same height, weight and complexion as Miley. In fact, it was like they were looking at Miley only with the darkest brown hair imaginable. She stepped forward and embraced Lilly, who recoiled slightly at her touch. She then looked at Miley and grinned before embracing her and pulling back. "Aren't you glad to see your identical cousin?"

Miley looked at her, then looked at her six friends, then at Lilly before settling her eyes back on her carbon copy. "Luanne."

And now…


Back to the Future

Chapter 1

Party Crasher

Thursday, September 21, 2017 – 12:35 pm Eastern – Headquarters of Arista Nashville, Nashville, Tennessee

There was nothing that Miley wanted to do more than to slap that look off of Luanne's face; that smug, arrogant… incredibly sexy look off of Luanne's face. It had been ten years since she had seen Luanne. To say that Luanne had done a complete 180 in the appearance department was the understatement of the young millennium.

Gone were the horn-rimmed glasses. Gone were the country bumpkin clothes. Gone was the chestnut brown color of Luanne's hair, replaced by a dark brown that could pass for black in a certain light. The hair was also about four inches shorter than Miley's mane and blown straight, however, there was no mistaking this woman that stood before Miley and her friends for anything but a Stewart.

"Miley, you didn't… tell us you had… a sister." Chelsea said incredulously.

"She doesn't." Lilly said coldly. "This is her cousin Luanne."

"I see you haven't forgotten me." Luanne said in a refined sexy, Tennessee drawl that replaced the high-pitched nasal twang of her youth.

"Well, let's see. You came to Malibu ten years ago, you made us feel sorry for you so we'd take you to a party, you tied Miley up in her closet, then you tried to ruin her career by acting like a complete ass at that party! Then, oh y'all are gonna love this, after Miley forgave you, you told everyone back in Misty Hollow how Miley was a stuck-up obnoxious rich bitch that put you down for being poor. Yeah. I'd say I remember you." Lilly spat.

"Lil. It's okay." Miley said softly.

"Okay?" Lilly scoffed. "Why are you not knockin' this bitch out right now?"

"Lilly." Luanne said. "Is that any way for a shaper of young minds to talk?" Luanne said in a condescending fashion. Lilly's response to Luanne's question was a thunderous open-handed smack to the left side of Luanne's face that was so hard it made the other women flinch upon impact.

Luanne held her head in place as she brought her hand up to her cheek and then to the corner of her mouth where a trickle of blood had been drawn. Miley stepped in between Lilly and Luanne to block any attempted reprisal from her cousin. Luanne simply rubbed the blood between her thumb and forefinger.

"Luanne…" Miley started.

"That slap was ten years coming." Luanne said. "That was your free shot, Lilly. Nice one."

"Don't you EVER talk about my students again!" Lilly spat as she pointed her finger at Luanne.

Luanne fixed a "what-did-I-do" smirk on her face when Miley stepped forward. "What do you want, Luanne." Miley asked in irritated fashion.

The eyes of the beautiful, yet troubled woman softened, as did her voice. "I just wanted to say how sorry I was for everything that happened between us. You're family and I've never treated you that way. I just wanted to say that I've been a real bitch to you every time you've tried to befriend me… and I'm sorry." Luanne said.

"Ask her how much of your signing bonus she wants to borrow from you." Lilly fumed.

"Lillian, I don't want any of Miley's money. I just want her friendship." Luanne said.

"My mother is the only one allowed to call me Lillian!" Lilly growled. "Let me kick her ass!" Lilly spat again as she tried to muscle past Miley who was holding her back along with the other women.

"Whoa, cousin!" Luanne said. "It's a good thing you keep your pit bull on a short leash!"

"You know what? Fuck you." Lilly vented as she pointed at Luanne. "I'll show you a pit bull!" The other women kept a tight hold on the struggling Lilly.

"Luanne, why don't you shut the fuck up and go home. You're like the rock in everybody's shoe." Miley said.

"Well I'd say minus the cursin', you're cousin has a good idea, Luanne."

Miley turned around to see one of the friendlier faces in her life. "Mamaw." Miley said as she turned around to hug her grandmother. "I'm sorry you heard that."

"That's okay, pumpkin." Mamaw said. "This girl would make the Pope curse like a sailor on shore leave."

"You are always taking her side." Luanne said.

"Shut… up, little girl!" Mamaw said. "I'm always takin' her side because you're always stickin' your foot in your mouth! Now apologize to Miley and Lilly."

"All due respect Mamaw, I don't want an apology from her." Lilly said.

Mamaw stepped forward and embraced Lilly. "Fair enough. But she still needs to do it. It's good for her soul."

"I am almost twenty-nine years old and you're still talking to me like I was five!" Luanne said to her grandmother. "No wonder Gran'pa Jack and Aunt Brooke died. They probably got tired of you mothering them." She mumbled.

Miley suddenly snatched Luanne by the collar.

"Miley!" Mamaw exclaimed.

Miley got nose-to-nose with Luanne. "If you EVER mention my mother again, I will kill you where you stand. Are we clear?" Miley growled. Her eyes were as cold and sinister as they had ever been in her life. Luanne was paralyzed with unexpected fear as she remained silent. "I SAID are we clear?" Miley asked again as she tightened her grip in Luanne's collar.

"Crystal." Luanne responded before Miley released her grip.

"Go… home. Now." Mamaw said sternly. Luanne's eyes darted back and forth between Miley, Lilly and her grandmother for a moment before she looked Miley in the eye once more.

With contrition in her voice she said to Miley, "I really am sorry." After that she smoothed out her blouse and turned on her heels, heading for the exit.

The building anger that Miley had inside was dampened somewhat by Luanne's last statement. If Miley didn't know better, she would have thought that Luanne's last apology was sincere. She watched the young woman walk out of the auditorium feeling as confused as she did when Luanne first greeted her.

"Sweetheart, are you all right?" Mamaw asked of Miley.

"I'm fine Mamaw." Miley said.

"Well I'm not." Lilly said. "I would love to lay a country butt-whuppin' on her."

Mamaw couldn't help but laugh. "You haven't even moved here and you're startin' to sound like us!" Mamaw said. "Miley, introduce me to your beautiful friends."

"Mamaw, this is Raven Baxter and her wife Chelsea, London Tipton and her girlfriend Maddie Fitzpatrick, Lilly's best friend, Renee Morton and my best friend, Jennifer McGowan." Miley said.

"Nice to meet all of you." No offense to your two friends, but I thought Lilly was your best friend." Mamaw said.

"She still is. They're our best platonic friends." Miley clarified herself.

"Oh! Okay. Now I get it." Mamaw said. "You'll have to excuse me. I'm still tryin' to wrap my head around the whole same-sex thing."

"It's okay Mamaw. Nothing's changed. Miley and I still sleep over and share the same bed." Lilly said. "It's just what we do in the bed that's different."

"Sweet niblets." Miley smacked her own forehead with the palm of her hand. "I don't believe you just said that to my grandmother."

"It's okay. Robby Ray warned me about Lilly's stream of consciousness." Mamaw said.

"Mrs. Stewart…" Raven started.

"Mamaw or Ruthie is fine, sweetie." Mamaw corrected.

"Okay… Mamaw." Raven said with an embarrassed chuckle. "We're going to lunch, just us girls. Would you like to join us?"

"I appreciate the offer but I've got a two-hour drive back to Misty Hollow ahead of me." Ruthie said. "Miley's Aunt Vickie and her cousins are comin' over for dinner tonight. She sends her love, by the way. You know she's lost about eighty pounds? You'd barely recognize her!"

"I can't wait to see her." Miley said. "Give her and everybody my love and tell them that we'll be there sometime this week." Miley said as she hugged her grandmother.

Just then Robby Ray and Jackson walked up on the scene.

"Hey there Momma!" Robby Ray said as he hugged and kissed his mother.

"Hey Mamaw." Jackson said as he embraced his grandmother. "Where's Aunt Dolly?"

"Blondie had to work today. She couldn't get the day off." Ruthie said.

"So, did we miss anything good?" Robby Ray asked.

"Oh, nothing." Jennifer said. "Just your daughter-in-law-to-be slapping the bejeezus out of your daughter's identical cousin and said daughter jacking said cousin up by her blouse and threatening to end her life violently."

Robby Ray looked at Jennifer with a blank stare for a moment taking in Jennifer's accurate account of the events before turning to his mother. "So how IS Luanne doing?"

"Still nuttier than a squirrel turd!" Ruthie said.

"That's Miley's grandma all right." Jennifer whispered to the other women causing them to snicker.

"You'd think after all those therapy sessions your brother paid for that she'd act better." Ruthie said. "I swear, that girl has crap for brains."

"She's got a lot of hurt and jealousy inside her, Mamaw." Miley said.

"Wait a minute. I slap the taste out of her mouth, you jack her up like a perp on Law and Order and now you're defending her?" Lilly asked incredulously.

"It's the same reason you gave your father a second chance after you laid into him at their house." Miley said. "She's family. You give them a little more rope that other people."

"Well she can't have anymore of my rope." Lilly said. "Miserable…"

"She's got her good days and bad days, baby." Ruthie said. "Days when she's normal and days when she's got crap for brains. And Miley's right. We stick by family around here, no matter how crazy…"

"Or squirrel turdy." Chelsea said.

Mamaw laughed. "Or squirrel turdy they may act. Which reminds me, if I don't get back home in time, Vickie and the kids will be acting squirrel turdy when there's no dinner on the table. Love you, Miley. Love you Lilly. Love you Jackson and love you Robby Ray." She said as she hugged each person.

"Love you Mamaw." Miley, Lilly and Jackson said in unison.

"Love you Momma." Robby Ray added.

"Nice to meet you girls. Come on out to Misty Hollow and I'll cook y'all up a mess of greens and fried chicken, mashed potatoes and biscuits…" Ruthie said.

"I'm going home with her! I'll catch y'all later!" Raven exclaimed causing everyone to laugh.

"Bye Mamaw." Miley said one last time as she hugged her grandmother.

"Pray for her." Ruthie implored Miley to pray for her cousin.

"I will." Miley said softly before releasing the hug and watching her grandmother walk away.

"Well come on, let's go eat! I'm starving!" Lilly said. "I saw a great rib joint down the street!"

"Lil, Chelsea's a vegetarian." Renee said.

"It's okay Renee." Chelsea said. "When in Rome, do as the Romans do."

"You are NOT eating ribs." Raven said with an incredulous chuckle.

"Watch me." Chelsea said.

Raven leaned over to Chelsea and purred. "If you do, it will be one of the sexiest things you've ever done."

"Really? Eating meat?" Chelsea said.

"Especially with barbecue sauce around your mouth. We could do something with that barbecue sauce." Raven whispered.

"Okay, ewww! I heard that!" Jennifer said. "That is way too much information to share! I'm sitting on the other side of the table from them."

"I don't know what that was about and I don't want to know." Robby Ray said. "I… am going to check into the hotel and Jackson's got a plane to catch."

"Yeah. I'm doing advance work for your D.C tour stop." Jackson said.

"Daddy, you're staying?" Miley asked.

"All this talk about you and Lilly moving here got me to thinkin' that maybe it's time for me to come back home." Robby Ray said.

"You're movin' back to Tennessee?" Miley exclaimed. "Daddy! I'm so happy!" Miley said as she jumped up into his arms. As he put her down, she spoke again. "Just don't move too close to Lilly and me. We need our privacy."

"Seein' the way you two snuggle up together, you do not have to worry about me." Robby Ray said.

"Great. So everybody's moving back to Tennessee and leaving me stuck out in Malibu by myself!" Jackson said.

"I was gonna give you the house." Robby Ray said.

"Like I said, enjoy your move back to Tennessee." Jackson said, earning laughs from everybody.

"Boy, go get the car so I can drive you to the airport!" Robby Ray said playfully to his son. Jackson smirked and then kissed his sister on the cheek before going to retrieve the rental car. "I'm gonna go say goodbye to Mister Williams. Take care, Bud." Robby Ray hugged his daughter and kissed her forehead. "You too Lilly Bear." He said, doing the same to Miley's fiancée. "Bye ladies."

"Bye Robby Ray!... Billy Ray!" The ladies said in unison with Chelsea's Billy Ray wafting in at the end. This time, Robby Ray heard Chelsea and turned around as he was walking away. He then surprised everybody by playing the air guitar and breaking out into song.

"But don't tell my heart, my achy breaky heart, I just don't think it'd understand, And if you tell my heart, my achy breaky heart, He might blow up and kill this man."

Everybody laughed. Chelsea cocked her head to the side and came to a conclusion. "On second thought, he's not as good as Billy Ray." She said causing everyone to laugh again. Robby Ray shook his head and smiled as he headed for the exit.

"Come on y'all. My stomach's starting to grumble too." Raven said. The other ladies agreed and started toward the exit. Lilly and Miley brought up the rear. As they walked, Lilly noticed that Miley had that far-off look like she was in thought.

"You're gonna give her another chance, aren't you?" Lilly said referring to Luanne. Miley nodded. "Well please don't expect me to be so charitable."

"You said the same thing about Jenn and look how that turned out." Miley said. "And if I recall correctly, you knocked her on her ass. All you did was slap Luanne."

"I slapped the shit out of Luanne." Lilly corrected.

Miley chuckled. "You did slap the shit out of her."

"I'll try, for you. But you owe me." Lilly said.

Miley dropped her voice into a seductive purr. "How about while we're at lunch, you think about the aqua blue bra and thong set I have on right now?"

Lilly let the image sink in for a moment. "That's a good way to pay down your debt." She said as she nodded.

"I thought you'd like that." Miley said with a devilish smirk.

"You thought right." Lilly responded with a smile as she locked arms with Miley and headed out the door on the way to the rib joint.
