Chapter 10: A Cornicopia Of Sadness, Madness, And Love (30 Sec.)
"I, I, um..." Oliver stuttered, sweating.
"Come on, Oliver! Only 25 seconds!" Lilly coaxed.
"You, see, well, Miley, I um..." Oliver continued.
" 15 seconds! Come on, let's MOVE!" Lilly shouted.
"You've got to move it, move it. We like to move it, move it!" Jackson sang.
"Jackson, not helping. 10 SECONDS!"
"I, I Oh God this is making me nervous." Oliver said, whispering the second sentence.
"I am going to leave if you don't get to the point." Miley groweled.
"3 SECONDS, FOR JUICE POP'S SAKE!" Lilly yelled.
"I..I," Oliver began. He didn't hear Lilly's watch go off.
"I love you."
There was complete silence for a moment. Miley looked as if her heart had just been broken. Again.
"Oliver?" she asked.
"Miley?" Oliver said, cringeing.
"It was midnight 30 seconds ago."
Lilly's head went down onto the table. Oliver groaned, and Miley sighed hevaly. Then the grandfather clock in their dining room chimed midnight.
"Jackson, did dad get that clock fixed yet?" Miley asked hopefully.
"Yeah, I think so." Jackson answered.
"That means..." Lilly cried.
"IT'S NOT MIDNIGHT!" Miley and Oliver yelled together. Miley ran into his arms,and they started kissing and so did Lilly and Jackson.
And then Cooper walked in.
"Hey, Jackson. I brought that movie for..." He began slowly.
"Oh, hey Cooper." Jackson said, embaressed.
"Hey, um, so...you are making out with Lilly, who is your sister's best friend, while your sister is in the room making out with her other best friend, AND," He said, pointing at the ceiling, "there is underwear drying on the fan."
"Yep!" Jackson repiled.
"Things don't get any weirder than this, do they?" Cooper asked.
"No, and they don't get any better, either." Miley said, looking at Oliver.Then everyone came together for a hug.
"How nice. A cornicopia of love!" Jackson sighed.
"Shut up." Lilly said.
"Ok."
