Chapter 1

Graduation

Two girls and three boys, in their caps and gowns, were waiting patiently to go inside the gym. Their names were Miley, George, and Chris Stewart, Oliver Onken, and Lily Treskot. Lily said, "I can't believe that we are finally graduating from high school."

"Yeah its hard to believe," replied Miley. "I just wish my mom were here to see this today."

"She probably is Miles," said George. "She's probably looking down from heaven and smiling."

"Your probably right. I just wish she could have been here in person."

"Hey look, there lining up," said Oliver. They got in line. Miley was standing beside George; Chris was in front of them. Oliver was about 5 rows in front of Chris, while Lily was a few rows back. Once everyone was set, they walked in. There was a lot of applause, some whistling, and some cheering. When all the graduates were seated, the superintendent went up to the podium.

"Today is a great day. A day that are young people finally get to go into the world by themselves. All those in attendance should be proud. These are your sons your daughters, your brothers your sisters, aunts and uncles, cousins and friends. Now I am going to pass the microphone over to principal Johnson." The superintendent walks back to his seat, while the principal walks up to the podium.

"Thank you superintendent Halls, it is time that hand the diplomas to the graduates. We ask that each graduate pause while shaking superintendent Halls' hand so that we may take a photo. I will ask that the board of education please come forward and assist me with giving out the diplomas to the graduates. With that, will the first row of graduates please line up?" He waits as the first row comes and waits by the ramp leading up to the stage. "Whitney A. Abbot." There is some applause. The ceremony continues until, "Oliver O. Onken." There is tremendous applause from both the graduates and the audience. A little while later, "Chris J. Stewart." There is applause from the Stewart family. "George R. Stewart." Once again there is more applause. "Miley H. Stewart." The most applause so far is heard. By the time that Chris, George and Miley got to their seats they heard, "Lily G. Treskot." There was a lot of applause for Lily as she gladly accepted her diploma. She went back to her seat. Finally, "Wesley S. Young." When Wesley got back to his seat, Principal Johnson spoke again. "Now will the graduates please take their thing on their hat (I can't remember what it is called) and move it from the right side to the left side." Everyone does so. "I am now pleased to give you the Malibu Class of 2010." There is tremendous applause, and all the seniors throw up their caps. "Junior class officers will you please escort the graduates out. I will please ask that the audience remain in the gym until all senior have left. Thank you."

With that, the graduates left the gym. Miley, George, Chris, Oliver and Lily all waited for their family. When their family came out, congratulated. Miley picked up Christine and said, "Thank you."

"Congratulations, sissy." Sissy is what Christine calls Miley and Wendy, since she cannot say sister yet. Robbie, Haley, the Treskot's and the Onken's took various pictures. They include, the five graduates; each graduate by themselves; the triplets; Miley, Lily, and Oliver; Oliver, Chris, and George; Miley and Lily; Miley and Oliver; Lily and Chris; each family; Miley with her sisters; Miley and Jackson; Miley with her dad and step-mom; and various other pictures.

Robbie said, "We need to get back to our place. The triplets' graduation party starts in half an hour." They all got into vehicles, and drove off. They arrived at the Stewart's house about ten minutes later. Luckily, they had set up before they left. The only thing they needed to put out was the snacks and all three cakes, one for each of the graduates.

Twenty minutes later, people started showing up. The first to arrive was Grandma Stewart, or Ma Maw. Then Roxy came in. She wanted to serve as a guard but Miley said, "Not today, Roxy, not today." Other people who showed up included, Johnny Collins, Tim, some of the triplet's classmates and various other people. One of the most notable, and to the disliking of Jackson, was Rico. The party lasted about three hours. After the guests had left, Miley asked, "Can we open our gifts and cards now, dad?"

"Sure why not. Somebody should write down who gave you guys what so we can send thank you cards." Miley, George and Chris took turns opening their presents. Their presents included, money, photo albums, picture frames, and various other things. After Miley had opened the last gift, she realized something.

"Oliver, where is your present for me?"

"I have it with me. Close your eyes Miley." She does, and Oliver gets on one knee in front of her. Everyone tries to stay quite, because they can tell what is about to happen. Oliver pulls a little box out of his pocket. "You can open your eyes now, Miley." She does and looks down at Oliver. "Miley Stewart, will you marry me?" He shows the ring, and then Miley faints. "That went well."

"I think her fainting means yes," said Lily.

"I think that she is just a little shocked, Lily," replied Robbie.

"That too." Miley came around about two minutes later.

"Well Miley, what is your answer?"

"Yes, I will marry you Oliver." They hug each other and kiss. Then they turn to their family. Miley hugs Lily first. Then she goes over to her family. She hugs everyone and then picks up Christine. "This is the best day of my life, so far."

"It is also mine."

"When is the wedding going to be," asked Lily?

"I have an idea. How about in August."

"Any day in particular, Miles," asked Robbie?

"The 29th."

"Why that day," asked Oliver.

"Don't you remember? That is the first day we met."

"I like it."

Elsewhere…

A young girl is looking through various photo albums and scrap books. "This is it, the thing I have been looking for my whole life. The final clue to my mysterious past. Now all I have to do is put all the clues together. Then, it is time to find out the truth. No more will I not know what my past was like. NO MORE!"

R/N. I know this isn't starting out like the last one, but this story is going to be a lot longer. I know I shouldn't use elsewhere, but that leaves the illusion that it could be anywhere, and I don't want to give certain things away, before I have to.
