"I feel in my heart
The start of something new
Start of something new"
Hannah and Larry sang together. Then they bowed to the audience and walked offstage.
Lilly greeted them with "That was a great joint concert. The audience loved it."
"Credit where credit is due," Miley said. "You were the one who dug out that old High School Musical duet for us to sing."
"Just doing my job."
Later, they went to a restaurant. When Miley ordered a screwdriver, Lilly did not say anything but did give her a dirty look. Miley said "Don't look at me like that, Lilly. I'm doing better."
"All right," Lilly answered. "I wasn't going to say anything, and I do agree that you are doing better."
"So do I," put in Larry. "I was really concerned there, for a while."

As her private jet approached McCarren Airport for a landing, Larry said, "You know, maybe someday I'll be a big enough star for my own jet."
"Well, until then, you're welcome to this one," she replied.
"Do you like to do things for a big thrill, just for the adrenalin rush?"
"Well, I haven't, really, since I was a kid," she said.
"Well, let's be kids again. I do something every time I'm in Vegas, and it's fun."
"You do what?" she asked.
"Ride the Big Shot at the Stratosphere," he replied.
"What's that?"
"Oh, you'll find out!"
They took a limo to their own hotel, then a taxi to the Stratosphere. "Come on," Larry said, "the elevator is this way."
"Elevator?"
"Yeah, the one to the tower," he replied.
After they had walked around the observation deck looking over the city from over a thousand feet up, Larry said "Ok, it's Big Shot time!"
"AAAAHHHH" she screamed wordlessly as they rode up and down the tower that rose above the Stratosphere.
As she staggered off the ride, Larry asked "Ok, is it fun to be kid again, sometimes?"
"It's terrifying. But, yeah, fun too!"
A/N I have been on the Big Shot at the Stratosphere in Vegas, and it is quite the experience. If it was at ground level it probably would not be much of a ride, but bouncing up and down well over one thousand feet off the ground, with nothing apparently beneath you, is "terrifying" as Miley puts it. At least it was for me.
