I got a surprise for you... a long chapter for this kiss!!! Yay for my awesome reviewers! I had to do one with a dance.
The School Dance
"I don't have a date!" Lilly said as she sat down on the couch in the Stewart's house.
"And the dance is tonight. Sorry Lills, I can't help you." Miley said as she sat down next to her.
"Can't Hannah pull some strings so I can show up at the dance with a famous celebrity?" Lilly asked, eyes going wide.
"No, if I did that, we'd have to explain how you two know each other and met. So, no can do." Miley said.
"I don't have a date!" Jackson shouted as he came through the front door.
"Welcome to the club." Lilly said. "I don't have on either."
"Well here's a crazy idea, how about the two of you go together?" Miley said.
"What?!"
"Just as friends or something. Now I have to get ready." Miley said and ran up the stairs.
"I should be with her, getting ready for the dance." Lilly said, lying down on the couch. Jackson sighed and moved to the kitchen.
"Looks like both of us aren't going tonight." Jackson said as he opened the fridge. Lilly sat up and looked over at him, she reallywanted to go…
"Well, Miley's right, we could go as friends…" Lilly said.
Jackson turned to look at her. He was about to tell her no but she gave him the puppy dog pout and he couldn't say no to that.
"Ok, I'll take you." He said.
"Thank you Jackson!" Lilly shouted and ran up and hugged him. He patted her on the back and then watched as she ran up the stairs to Miley's room to get ready fro the dance. Weird thing was his heart wouldn't slow down after that hug…

"Taa-daa." Miley said as Lilly came down the stairs. Jackson looked over at her and his jaw dropped. That was so not Lilly Truscott; she looked too girly to be Lilly…
But it was. Miley had curled her hair and given her a black dress that stopped right above her knees. She had strap black shoes to match her dress and a black headband in her hair.
"Like it?" Miley asked Jackson, who just nodded. "Great, now you're both of our lifts to the dance, I'm meeting my date there. Let's go."
Jackson picked up his car keys and led the girls out to his car.
Before long, they were at the dance and Miley had ditched them to find her date. Lilly and Jackson made their way towards an empty table in the gym. They sat down and looked at the people dancing in the center of the gym.
"Uh, you look stunning." Jackson said, looking over at her. Lilly smiled.
"Thanks. I wasn't sure if I liked it." She said, looking down at her dress.
"Nah, it's nice." Jackson said and then an awkward silence fell over them. Jackson looked around at the dancers. "Do you… do you want to dance?"
"Uh, sure." Lilly said. They both got up and went onto the dance floor as a slow song started. Lilly looked at Jackson and then put her arms around his neck while he put his hands on her waist. They swayed slowly to the music.
"Wow, you're actually not steeping on my feet." Lilly said jokingly.
"Is that a shot at my dancing skills?" He asked.
"Maybe."
"Well, I'm not that great, but I can dance." Jackson said and to prove his point, he span Lilly out and then back to him.
"Ooh, smooth." She said.
"I know." Jackson said, trying to act manly. Lilly then playfully hit him on the chest.
"Don't think so highly of yourself." She said.
"Why not? I mean, I am smooth, why do you think I have to many dates?"
"Yet if I remember correctly, you didn't have a date for this dance until Miley suggested that we go together." Lilly pointed out.
"True." Jackson said and then looked down at Lilly. His heart started beating faster and he felt his face grow hot.
"Jackson, you ok?" Lilly asked frowning.
"Yeah, why wouldn't I be?" He asked.
"Nothing." Lilly said as the song ended. A fast song started playing and the two of them got kicked off the dance floor. They made their way over to another table where Oliver, Miley and their dates sat.
"You two went dancing?" Miley asked.
"Yeah, just one song." Lilly said as she sat down.
"Wait, did I miss something? Lilly, are you and Jackson going out?" Oliver asked, puzzled.
"Yes, we're getting married and moving to Vegas. No, we're just here as friends." Lilly said.
"You could've just said no." Oliver said. Lilly sighed and looked at Oliver's date, who grabbed him and dragged him away from the table.
"Could all the couples please get onto the dance floor for a special song?" The DJ announced. Miley took her date's hand and led him to the dance floor as the fast song ended and a slow song started again.
"Want to dance again?" Jackson offered, holding out his hand.
"Love to." Lilly said, taking it. He led her to the dance floor and they started swaying to the music again.
"This is really nice." Lilly said, resting her head on Jackson's shoulder.
"Yeah." He said as he took in her scent. What was wrong with him tonight? This was just one date with Lilly, it wasn't like it was going to lead to anything, was it?
The two then slowly made their way through the crowd until they were in the centre of the dance floor. Lilly then took her head off of Jackson's shoulder and looked up at him. She opened the mouth to say something but then closed it. The two then stopped dancing as they stood there, looking at one another. Slowly they leaned in, but just before their lips met, the song ended and everyone started walking away, separating the two of them.
Lilly and Jackson went back to their previous seats and stayed there for the rest of the dance, only getting up to dance to a few slow songs.

"I can't believe we left without Miley." Lilly said as she turned around to look back at the school.
"She said that she had a lift home, not my problem. You want me to drive you home or do you want to go back to my house?" Jackson asked.
"My house." Lilly said as she looked out the window into the late night sky. "I had a fun time at the dance."
"So did I." Jackson said, not looking at her. He didn't know if the almost kiss was on her mind or not, but it most defiantly was on his.
"I'm glad I went with you. You're better then the other guys I've been with." Lilly said and turned to look at him. "And considering my past experience with the guys, that's a really big compliment."
"I know." Jackson said grinning. He soon pulled up in front of Lilly's house and got out of the car and rushed to her side to open the door for her.
"You didn't have to do that." She said as he helped her out.
"I want this to be the best night of your life." He said. "And by doing that, I shall now escort you to your door."
"Wow Jackson, who knew you could be such a gentleman." Lilly said and then giggled. Jackson then took her hand and walked with her to her front door.
"And this draws our night to a close." He said, looking at the door. He then looked at Lilly out of the corner of eye and saw she was upset. "What's wrong."
"It's just that… that… Thanks Jackson, this was the best night of my life." Lilly said and then hugged him again.
"Same for me. I had fun and was hoping you would like to do it again… some other time…" Jackson said. Lilly pulled away from the hug and frowned.
"You mean, like a date?"
"Yeah… if you want to call it that…" Jackson said.
"Uh, well… maybe…" Lilly said, looking down. Jackson put a hand on her chin and tilted her head upwards so she was looking at him.
"Goodnight Lilly." He said. And then he moved closer and kissed her softly on the lips. He then pulled away and Lilly's eyes were still closed. She slowly opened them and looked at him. Jackson turned around to leave, but Lilly ran up to him.
"That wasn't a proper goodnight kiss if I still want to remember this night." She said. Jackson grinned and pulled her closer for a real kiss this time, one that she would never forget, ever.
I have moved into my swimming pool, but came out long enough to write this and discover I got sunburnt. And to top it all of, I now have to go 'shopping' with my friends. Basically, walking into every shop in the mall, but never buying anything. Oh the joy! Well, the mall has aircon...
