Chapter 3

The Search

Oliver and Miley left the morning after the wedding for the cruise. There flight to Florida left at 8:00 AM. It was six-hour flight, plus time zone change, so they arrived in Florida at 4:00 PM. They got their luggage, and caught the shuttle ride to their hotel, the cruise left in the morning. When they got checked in, they went up to their room. After they got settled in Miley turned on the TV, to the news channel. "In other news, Hannah Montana, will be giving a concert in two weeks in Los Angeles. The concert is already sold out. Hannah still remains atop of the charts, and there seems to be no end of it anytime soon. Now we go over to sports.." Miley turned off the TV.

"I'm going to bed, Oliver. I've had a long day. She went into the bathroom and got dressed in her nightgown and then got underneath the covers and fell asleep. Oliver sat there, looking at his wife for a few minutes before crawling in bed himself.

Back at Lily's…

Lily is flipping channels. She seems rather bored. Her mom walks in, "Lily, what's wrong?"

"It is boring around here without Miley and Oliver. I cannot believe I have to live without them for one whole week."

"It's only a week. You'll get used to it. Why don't you call Chris?"

"That's a good idea mom. Thanks." She gets out her cell phone and turns it on. She calls the Stewart house.

"Stewarts residence, Robbie speaking."

"Hey Robbie, it's Lily. Is Chris home?"

"Sorry Lily, he had a TV show to go shoot."

"Okay. Thanks. Bye." She hung up her phone. "I've got it. Mom, I'm going to the mall. Don't worry about me for lunch."

"Okay." Lily went outside and hopped in her car and drove to the mall. She decided just to walk around. As she turned one of the corners in the mall, she ran into someone. Both of them fell to the ground. They both rub their heads and look at each other.

"Are you okay," asked the other girl?

"I'm fine. You?"

"Okay." They both are able to stand and decide to sit down for a moment.

"I'm Lily, Lily Treskot."

"Jamie, Jamie Albert." Lily sat there slightly shocked when she said her name. "Are you okay?"

"Are you the Jamie Albert? The actress and singer."

"Yeah. I'm surprised you recognized me."

"Wow!"

"Usually people faint."

"I'm used to these things. Are you doing anything right now? Do you want to come over to my house?"

"How about we go to my house? I have my own house. Do you want to ride in my limo?"

"No thank you. I drove here. I'll just follow you."

"Okay." They both walked out of the mall. Lily got in her car and Jamie got into her limo. Lily followed the limo for about twenty minutes. They then entered a familiar neighborhood. Lily said to herself, "This is the neighborhood that Miley and Oliver are moving into." When the limo stopped, Lily and Jamie got out of their vehicles.

"This is my house," said Jamie pointing to a huge mansion. Lily's jaw dropped. Jamie's house was right next door to Miley and Oliver's.

"This is a nice house. Did you know you are getting new neighbors?"

"No I didn't. I hope they are nice. The previous owner was very mean."

"I know they are nice because the couple are my best friends. They are on their honeymoon and will return next Sunday. There names are Miley and Oliver Oken."

"Well it will be nice to meet them. Do come in." She proceeded to put a key into the lock and open the door.

"Not to be rude or anything, but do you always lock your door?"

"I just got back this afternoon, from Miami, Florida." Seeing Lily's curious face she continued. "I was looking up information on my family's history. So it made since to lock-up."

"Yeah I guess so." They entered the house. It was built somewhat like Miley and Oliver's.

After a quick tour, it took about two hours; they ate some lunch in one of the three dining rooms. Lily asked, "So what are your parents like, Jamie?"

"I never knew my birth parents. I was taken from my parents at a young age."

"That is really sad. I'm curious Jamie, how old are you?"

"Eighteen. Why?"

"Just curious." After they finished eating Lily said, "Well, I need to get home.Nice to meet you Jamie."

"Same her Lily. I guess I'll be seeing a lot around here if my new neighbors are your friends." They exchanged phone numbers and then Lily left the dining room. About ten minutes later, Lily returned.

"Uh, Jamie, can you show me out? I kind of got lost. This place is so big. How do you remember where everything is?"

"I've lived her most of my life. I will gladly show you out." They both left the dining room. After Lily had driven away, Jamie said, "She seems real nice. Maybe I will tell her the truth."

Earlier that day…

"Ladies and gentleman flight 234 will be arriving in Malibu in approximately 10 minutes. Flight attendants, please prepare for landing." Elisabeth Walters sat patiently in her seat. When the fasten seatbelt sign finally turned off. She undid her seatbelt. When she got into the airport she could hear voices over the intercom.

"Ladies and Gentleman, flight 234 from Miami has just arrived at Gate 15."

R/N. I know it is short, but I am having some writer's block. Next chapter should be up shortly. If you have read my first story, which you should have, you know not to second guess my stories. Everything is in here for a purpose. It is your job to sort out the information and solve it.

Preview: Miley and Oliver return from their cruise, and move into their new house. They meet their new neighbors.
