Davis has decided to date Ashely now that she's back, but Ashely wants a relationship without secrets. So Davis has decided to tell her that he's really Jason Burner. Now he's waiting to see what she thinks of it, but she appears to be frozen.
"Ashely?" Jason said as he tried to get to her. "Ashely? Hello?" Ashely snapped out of it, but still couldn't believe it.
"Sorry. I'm processing this." Ashely said. "Actually, when I stop to think about it, it makes sense. Miley is your guardian. Wait. Wasn't there an article about this, but it was proven wrong?"
"Yeah. Had to throw them off the track. I'm not ready for the world to know yet." Jason said. "The only reason I'm telling you now is because you said you want no secrets and you've proven before that you're someone I can trust."
"Really?" Ashely said as she loved it. "It's a good thing I love Jason's work. Come to think of it, I was suppose to have a love scene with Jason, but it never happened." She said as she grabbed his hand and the two of them kissed now knowing there's no secrets between them. However, their moment was ruined when they heard a helicopter with a spotlight. "The paparazzi."
"They always follow me." They both said as they took cover.
"What? I'm sure they're here for me." Ashely said.
"Hello. I'm the big rock star here." Jason said.
"Is that so? Let's ask." Ashely said as she was about to step out, but Jason pulled her back.
"No. They can't see you with Jason when you're with Davis." Jason said. "Other than a few people, the rest of the world believes Jason and Davis are two separate people. If they see us now, they'll think you're cheating on Davis and Jason will be accused of being a girlfriend stealer."
"Got it. So what do we do?" Ashely asked.
"Simple. Run." Davis said as he grabbed her and got out of there before the paparazzi could see anything.
…
The Next Day
Davis had Ken and Yolei come over. He told them that Ashely was aware and now there is no secrets between them.
"So you really told her? Wow." Yolei said. "I'm really proud of you, Davis. You really have moved on from Kari and it seems like things are going well with Ashely."
"I can't believe you told her. Don't you think you're moving a little fast?" Ken said.
"I don't think so." Davis said. "Ashely didn't want any secrets between us, I don't want to lose her yet, so I decided to just go for it."
"I do have to ask. She might know you're Jason Burner, but isn't it a little hard dating a celebrity like Ashely?" Yolei said.
"Nah. How hard can it be?" Davis said. "I've got to go. Ashely and I are hitting the movies." He didn't really think there would be any problems, but he was about to see how wrong he was.
…..
The Movies
Ashely and Davis were at the movies. Ashely was enjoying her time, but Davis got annoyed. The people that sat around them prefer to watch her and him.
"Shouldn't you people watch the movie instead of us?" Davis said.
"Come on, Davis. It's not so bad." Ashely said. She didn't mind, but it was a little creepy to Davis. "You want something to drink."
"Sure." Davis said as he tried to make the most of it.
"I'm a little thirsty." Ashely said and everyone was handing them their drinks. "What're you in the mood for? Soda or water?" Davis didn't notice before, but now he was seeing the problems of dating a celebrity.
…
The Penthouse
"I guess you didn't like the movie." Ashely said as she and he had a seat on the couch. They left the movie early because Davis couldn't see stand those eyes.
"I wouldn't know. Everyone was watching us. I couldn't stand it." Davis said.
"Come on. It wasn't that bad." Ashely said. Davis thought it was a little weird for her to say that.
"You didn't think it was creepy?" Davis said.
"Well, no one is watching us now." Ashely said as she pulled him a little closer. They were about to kiss again, but they heard a noise outside and saw people trying to get photos through the windows.
"Hey!" Miley shouted as she came in and close the curtains. "Ever heard of giving people some privacy? They're called private moments for a reason." Miley left the room to give them some privacy, but Davis knew better as he grabbed a book.
"Think fast, Miley. Take your own advice." Davis said as he tossed the book and it hit her.
"Ow! Okay. I'm going." Miley said and really left them alone. Davis sat back down and groaned.
"What's wrong? Isn't Jason Burner use to this?" Ashely said.
"Yeah, but no one knows the truth." Davis said. "That's why I started the whole Jason thing thanks to Miley. It's so people wouldn't come at me like today."
"And that's hard when you're dating me." Ashely said as she was starting to see the problem. "I think I have an idea to fix this."
"What do you mean?" Davis said.
"You'll see." Ashely said as she gave him a peck. "I'll see you later." She got up and left. Davis didn't know what she was thinking, but he's just going to roll with it.
…
The Next Day
When school was over, Davis and his friends decide to stop at a burger stand for some food. While they were waiting, they were talking about how to solve Davis' little problem.
"Other than moving or plastic surgery, I'm not really sure how to solve this problem." Yolei said.
"You said she had some sort of idea. Any clue as to what it is?" Ken said.
"Nope, but I'm sure things will be fine." Davis said. "At least I hope. All those gazers and photographers are worse than a stampede." As they were waiting, a brunette in shades came walking in.
"Excuse me, but aren't you the boy who is dating the famous Ashely?" The girl asked.
"Yes, but don't expect an autograph from me or my girlfriend." Davis said.
"That's okay. I'm dating a boy named Davis that's a star himself." The girl said. All three of them looked at her like she was weird.
"Come again?" Davis said.
"Davis, it's me." The girl said as she lowered her shades.
"Ashely?!" Davis said.
"Not now. It's Mila." Ashely said. "I decided to try the same thing as you. Now I'm a nobody like Yolei."
"Great. Hey!" Yolei said as she felt insulted.
"So this is what you were talking about?" Davis said as he was actually impressed by it.
"Yeah. Now you have nothing to worry about." Ashely said as she put her glasses back on. "Now allow me to get some food. I'm starving." She went to get the food, but she cut in front of everyone and everyone was getting mad.
"Back of the line, missy. Who do you think you are?"
"Actually…" Ashely was about to explain, but Davis grabbed her and pulled her out of there.
"Normal people wait their turn. These people got here before us. So we need to wait." Davis said. "It should only take a few minutes."
"Oh! Got it." Ashely said. So she waited, but it was only about a few seconds before she got irritated. "This is torture! How much longer do we have to wait?! Snails move faster than this!" She was starting to cause a scene and it wasn't looking good.
"Come on. Let's just go somewhere else." Ken said. Yolei and Davis agreed as Davis grabbed Ashely and took her with him.
…
Ice Cream Parlor
They decided to go for ice cream instead. Ashely tried to keep better control of herself while Davis went to get the ice cream, but she was getting all jittery.
"I can't believe people have to do this all the time. How long has it been since we got here?" Ashely said.
"About twenty seconds." Ken said as he and Yolei were getting annoyed.
"They don't have it ready to go. They need time to fix it up." Yolei said.
"Don't worry. Here it is." Davis said as he came over with some ice cream.
"Finally." Ashely said as she grabbed hers and helped herself to it. This was a side of Ashely that none of them have seen before and they don't really like it. "This ice cream is good, but I can't believe they make you wait for it. Speaking of which, I could go for some water." She was actually expecting someone to give her some. "I said water."
"If you want some, get up and get it yourself like a normal person. Just like Ken did." Davis said as he pointed to the bottle water that Ken had.
"Oh. Thanks, Ken." Ashely said as she just took it.
"Hey!" Ken said as he took it back. "You also don't take other people's drinks."
"I can't believe you people really live like this." Ashely said. All of them were getting annoyed with her attitude. She might look different, but a normal look does not make her normal.
….
The Penthouse
All four of them went back to the penthouse. All of them were annoyed with how Ashely acted, but Ashely didn't even noticed anything.
"All of that was brutal." Ashely said as she took her wig off. "I'm going to freshen up in the bathroom."
"Sure." Davis said as he let her go. They waited till she was gone so they could talk.
"Davis, don't take this the wrong way, but…." Yolei said, but wasn't sure how to say this
"Ashely's terrible." Davis said with Yolei and Ken agreeing. "I don't get it. She's never acted that way before. Why is she now?"
"Well, unlike you, she welcomed the celebrity life. She's grown accustomed to it. She probably doesn't know how to act normal anymore." Yolei said.
"Yolei's right. This whole thing might be psychological." Ken said.
"Great. When she's Ashely, we're going to have creepy stalkers following us. When she's Mila, she's impatient and acts like a child." Davis said. "How the heck am I going to deal with this?"
"Davis, I'm sorry, but if you're not happy with her "normal" self and you're not happy with the celebrity lifestyle, I think there's only one thing you can do." Ken said and Davis knew what that was.
"I have to break up with her, don't I?" Davis said with Ken sadly agreeing.
"But what if she gets mad? She could tell your secret." Yolei said. "That can affect a person. After my sister got dumped by this one guy, she wasn't the same for a long time."
"So what am I suppose to do?" Davis said as he doesn't want that to happen.
"Wait!" Ken said as he got an idea. "You can't break up with her, but what if Ashely breaks up with you?"
"Yeah." Davis said as he liked that. "If she dumps me, she won't be tempted to tell my secret. I think I also know how to do it. I think Ashely needs to get a better look at how normal people work."
…
The Next Day
Ashely put her Mila disguise back together and the four of them were heading out to town again.
"So what's the plan today?" Ashely asked.
"We thought we hit a great restaurant." Ken said.
"There's just one problem." Davis said. "In order for us to get there, we have to take a ride normal people take. It's called the bus."
"Okay." Ashely said as they arrived at a bus stop. "Where is it? Didn't you guys call for one or something?"
"We have to wait for it here." Yolei said.
"More waiting?" Ashely complained. They waited a few good minutes until they saw the bus show up. Ashely climbed on in, but the driver stopped her.
"Change." The driver said, but Ashely didn't really understand. "You need to pay to ride this bus." Ashely couldn't believe she actually had to pay to ride a bus.
"We got her." Davis said as he paid for her and all of them were able to get on. Davis and Ashely took a seat. Ashely didn't seem to like it since there were so many people around.
"It's kind of crowded in here." Ashely said.
"Yeah, but they can't help it. They don't have cars of their own, can't walk around all day, or don't have drivers to give them rides." Davis said.
"No limo? No chauffeur?" Ashely said. She usually had one and there's usually room to spare. She also didn't have someone cough grossly near her. It looked like the plan was working because Ashely did not seem to like how normal people go at their days.
…..
The Restaurant
It was a long ride for Ashely, but they managed to make it to the restaurant. Ashely looked miserable through her disguise and they were enjoying it.
"Looks like its working." Yolei said.
"Sure does. Once she sees what normal life is like, she's not going to want to put up with it and might come to the conclusion of breaking up with you." Ken said. Davis hoped so.
"You holding up okay?" Davis asked.
"I actually felt someone's gum on the bottom of my seat." Ashely said. "Let's just get a table and eat." All of them went inside, but the restaurant looked packed. "Table for four."
"Sorry. It's going to be about a ten minute wait."
"More waiting?!" Ashely said as she was trying her best to keep her cool.
"Are you doing okay?" Davis said. "It doesn't seem like the normal life is easy for you. Is there really anything you like to say?" Davis was hoping she would say what he hoped.
"No." Ashely said. That wasn't it. "I….can…do….this. I….can….wait." Ashely was doing her best, but she was actually twitching. Seeing her made the rest of them go from mischievous to concern.
"We better do something. She looks like she's ready to snap." Yolei said. "We don't want to take it that far." Davis might want her to break up with him, but not lose her mind.
"Sorry, Ashely." Davis said as he knew what needed to be done. He grabbed her wig and took it off for everyone to see her real face.
"Davis, what are you doing?!" Ashely said.
"It's Ashely Allson!" The whole restaurant became aware of her presence. When they did, Davis and the others got out of there as fast as they could.
…..
The Penthouse
Miley was doing some cleaning around the house. She stopped when she heard Davis come in the room and he did not look happy.
"Hey, Davis. Something wrong?" Miley said.
"You might want to clear out. An angry girlfriend is on her way." Davis said.
"Yikes. That's never fun." Miley said as she got out of there. Right when she did, Ashely came in and she didn't look happy either.
"Davis, what was that? Why did you take my wig off like that?" Ashely said.
"I'm sorry, but I had to do something since you were about to go crazy from NOT being special." Davis said.
"What's that suppose to mean?" Ashely said.
"Ashely, you might be a big star, but you don't know anything about being normal." Davis said. "You're so use to living like a celebrity. It makes me think about when we first met and that I was right. You're just an obnoxious spoiled princess."
"Excuse me?!" Ashely said as she didn't like that.
"You heard me." Davis said. "Your idea seemed good, but you clearly don't know anything about being normal."
"Hey, the only reason I did this stupid normal thing was for you." Ashely said.
"Being normal is not stupid." Davis said. "Let me tell you something else. You're not as special as you think you are. It's actually normal that everyone is special and it's special that everyone is normal."
"Huh?" Ashely said as she didn't understand.
"I mean that what people think is normal might be special to some. Also, what some might think is special might be considered normal to some." Davis said. "That helps you find real friends, people who like you for who you are, not what you have, and other important life lessons. Obviously, you don't know about that because you're obnoxious."
"Then why did you want to go out with me in the first place?" Ashely asked.
"I was trying to move on with myself. You said you loved me and I tried with you." Davis said. "I thought I picked a great fruit, but it turns out I got it right when it spoiled."
"If that's how you feel, why didn't you just break up with me?" Ashely said.
"Because I was afraid that you…" Davis said, but couldn't finish it.
"What? Tell your secret?" Ashely said. She could see she was right and felt offended. "Well if that's the type of person you think I am, maybe I will tell." Ashely was so mad at him and just stormed right out there. Now Davis could be in real trouble.
….
Later
Later that night, Davis was on a balcony and felt awful about the whole day. Miley saw he was upset and went to talk to him.
"You want to talk about it?" Miley said.
"I have such bad luck with girls." Davis said. "My first crush has another guy. My first girlfriend turned out to be awful. Even lady luck appears to hate me."
"Na. Every guy feels that way sometimes." Miley said. "Lady luck, doesn't hate you. Luck can always turn in your favor. I'm sure you'll meet the right girl someday." Davis hoped so. They heard a knock and saw Ashely came back.
"Hey, Davis. Can we talk?" Ashely said. Davis agreed and Miley left them alone.
"Watch your back." Miley threatened Ashely. Ashely went over and stood next to Davis.
"What's up?" Davis said.
"After I cooled down, I thought about what you said." Ashely said. "You were right. I don't know how to be normal, but I'm going to learn. My agent called. I have to leave for a while for some filming and such."
"Oh. You're leaving?" Davis said.
"Yeah. I'll use the time to learn how to act normal. You also don't have to worry. I promise I won't tell your secret." Ashely said.
"So where does that leave us?" Davis asked.
"I'm not sure, but I don't want to end things like this." Ashely said. "We could try long distance. We could make it work unless something happens until I get back."
"So I guess this is it?" Davis said.
"Yeah….at least for now." Ashely said. "I'll miss you." Technically, they aren't breaking up, but they technically aren't together either. It's like something between breaking up and staying together. Ashely was about to leave, but she had a thought. "You know, I don't have to be anywhere for about another fifteen/twenty minutes."
"So what do you want to do until then?" Davis said. Ashely answered that by kissing him again. "Okay." Davis went along with it and the two kissed again spending every moment they could just making out. She really meant it when she said she couldn't find anything sweeter than that.
