Having Fun?
"Exactly Lilly, so we couldn't have this much fun. But now that he's asleep we can do whatever, as long as we're quiet." I smiled and she gave me a curious look. She was deep in thought. "What are you up to?"
"Oh I don't know…" she said slowly as she looked over at the still sleeping Jackson and gave him an evil grin. "….maybe a little joke might give this night a good ending."
I looked at her and over at Jackson, then back over to her again. After I saw the sly look on her face I knew what she was talking about.
"Wait, a joke? So you mean like a prank?" I asked a little worried.
"Yeah sure, why not?" she said and shrugged her shoulders casually.
"Well I don't know Lilly; I mean we don't really have anything around here to do it with. And besides, my Dad might get mad because he'll know it was us." Boy that was a lame excuse. It's rather late, so I guess I'm just tired.
"Come on Miley, they always pull pranks on each other, so I really don't think he'll care. And this is the perfect way to get back at Jackson. And you know there is always something we can find." Darn, she got me there. Ok so it was a good point.
"Ok so you've got good point. What should we do then?" I mumbled
"You know if I didn't know any better, it sounds like you're defending him."
"Lilly it's Jackson, why would I do that? It's nothing like that; I think I'm just getting tired ok?"
"Ok so here's what we do…."
We discussed for a few minutes, about what to do with the stuff around us. We finally came up with something. Well Lilly thought of most of it.
We had some chips so we decided to cover them all over with chili powder. That way Jackson would think they were cheese Doritos. He might be waking up soon anyway, for a midnight snack.
"But then just fill the bowl half full so it looks like we were eating it. And of course he'll want a drink after that so let's put out a soda." I suggested.
"Then shake the can of soda before you set it out." Lilly said, looking at Jake.
"Hey, nice touch." he smiled and gave her a wink, she blushed. What was that for? Maybe I was just seeing things. It was getting late.
"Uh thanks, so everyone remember what they're supposed to do? Oliver wakes up Jackson after we've set everything out, Jake shakes up the soda, and Miley you're going to put the chili powder on the chips." Lilly whispered, pointing to each one of us after giving us our jobs.
"Ok great, but what are you gonna do?"
"Oh yeah I guess I'll...help Jake?"
"Lilly he's just shaking up some soda. If anyone needs help, it's me. I've got a lot of chips to cover and make it look real."
"Oh right, ok let's get to work."
Lilly and I quickly put some chips in a bowl, then covered them with chili powder. They looked perfect, just like Doritos. Then we set it next to Jackson as Jake shook up a soda. Jackson had his hand under his chin, so Oliver pulled it out from under him and ran out into the other room where we were standing.
"Hey, what...!" Jackson said as he almost fell off the couch from being startled. "Whoa I must have fallen asleep" he whispered, now sitting up straight and talking to himself. Then he looked around the room. "Miles? Oh well, they must have gone to sleep too. Ooh look, chips!" he said with a delightful and hungry look. Then just as we predicted he grabbed a handful and shoved several in his mouth. After about five seconds he finally realized what they really tasted like. So he coughed them back out and onto the table with a bright red face and watery eyes, and then reached for the soda. We were peeking around the corner from the other room. We tried to suppress our laughs. Then as he opened the soda, it worked perfectly. It squirt all over his shirt, his hair and up his nose. And he also fell back against the couch from being so surprised. I couldn't help myself anymore, so I walked into the room laughing and everyone else did the same.
"Jackson that was so funny. You should have seen the look on your face." I said, still giggling. The others were too.
"Yeah well I didn't. All I'm seeing is a soaked shirt and soda dripping from my hair!" Jackson said and stood up.
"Come on Jackson don't be like that. It was just a joke." I said as he walked over to the little kitchen for some water and then a paper towel. We walked over to the couch. I sat on Jakes lap and Lilly on Oliver's.
"Yeah, well I have to admit it was pretty good." Then after he finished patting his face dry, he looked over at us. "Um, is there something goin on?" and he pointed back and forth in between us. Lilly and I quickly got of the guys and sat on the couch.
"Oh not much, just watching movies tonight and pulling a prank on you." I gave him a wide grin and then giggled. Well that blew it. I could tell he wasn't convinced.
"Uh huh, sure Miles. You know you're lucky Dad's a heavy sleeper. Or else I'd tell him what you just did...and maybe things you've been doing while I've been asleep." he said slowly and grinned slyly.
"Jackson no, I mean come on you wouldn't." I said.
"You're right I wouldn't have if it wasn't for this. This was my favorite shirt Miley." he said as he pointed to his soaked t-shirt. But then I gave him a more pleading look. "Alright Miles, I won't say anything. But only because this soda reminded me of a game we could play. How about we put a bunch of soda on the table and see who can drink the most in a minute." he smiled, pretty proud of himself for thinking of it.
"Ooh sounds like a challenge, but I'm out. It won't agree with me this late."
"Yeah me two, I'm getting a little tired." Lilly yawned.
"Oh uh...me three." Jake said and glanced quickly at me and Lilly. "I just don't feel like it." Ok, what was up with that?
"Well then, looks like it's down to you and Mr. Smoken Oken." Oliver said in a tough voice.
"Oh you think you can take me? Well bring it on man, bring it on."
Jackson and Oliver set several sodas on the table. We all sat on the seats next to them and they sat across from each other. They both had a can ready in there hands. Lilly and I knocked on the table softly and said go, then started timing for one minute.
"Go Oliver. Come on you can do this." Lilly softly cheered.
"Yeah Oliver...oh and you too Jackson." I looked over at Jackson who was gulping down soda as fast as he could.
"Who's side are you on…anyway?" he said in between breaths as he drank some more. After half a minute both guys eyes wouldn't stop watering.
"Gosh I don't know. I can't really choose between you two."
"It's ok Miles…I understand." Oliver said, gasping for a breath as he was finishing his third can. The time was almost up.
"And times up! Ok lets see who won." I looked at what Jackson had drank, he had only started on his third and Oliver was finishing his fourth. "Oliver is the winner!"
"Way to go Oliver!" Lilly smiled and hugged him.
"Yeah I have to admit, that was pretty sweet." Jackson said to Oliver
"Oh yeah, Oken is still Smoken." Oliver said very confidently as he stood up. Then a few seconds later, he made a face like he was going to be sick and his stomache growled. "Uh oh….not anymore." He ran to the small bathroom beside one of the bunks, too throw up.
"Jackson why aren't you sick?" I asked quietly, and began walking back to the couch
"Well I don't know, maybe cause I have it all the time at Ricos. But he did drink two more cans than me and really fast too. That's a lot to drink in one minute." We all sat on the couch and Oliver came out a minute later.
"Oh boy, I think that was enough soda for one night." Oliver came out patting sweat off his face with a small towel. "Listen I'm sorry Miley, but I don't think I can make it to the concert tomorrow evening. I think I better lay down tomorrow."
"Oh that's fine Oliver. So Lilly are you going to stay in here with Oliver? Otherwise you won't have anything to do backstage." I told her.
"No I think I'll still go with you and Jackson can stay with him. Is that ok Oliver?"
"Oh yeah, no problem. I'll probably be sleeping anyway." Oliver groaned as he slumped down on the couch.
"Hey I'll go with Lilly." Jake suddenly announced and looked over at Lilly. He startled me as he smiled at Lilly the way he did. "Because I want to watch one of concerts Miley. You know I haven't seen one from backstage. And I'm not usually busy in the evenings."
"Perfect, it's settled then." Lilly said to finalize things and then smiled back at Jake.
Well I guess I didn't get much say in the matter. I didn't need to though because everything sounded just fine didn't it? Then why do I feel like I don't want Lilly to be alone with Jake? Oh no, there is no way that thought will ever go through my head again. The next day Oliver couldn't even make it to Jake's movie, so Jackson stayed in the bus with him. The filming was really cool. Jake did a great job and showed us around pretty much everywhere. In the evening, just before the concert, Oliver was still too wiped out to go. So Jackson stayed with him just like we had decided the night before. Now it was just me, Dad, Jake and Lilly walking backstage.
"Good luck Miley, I'll be watching you from back here." he said and smiled at me.
"Thanks Jake." I gave him a hug and walked up to the side of the stage. I was almost ready to go on.
"Yeah good luck Miles, see you in a minute." Lilly waved to me.
I smiled at them and looked over at the stage again. Then I heard them call my name to go on in ten seconds. I quickly glanced back one more time and saw something that was probably going to keep me from concentrating on singing. Something that I told myself I never wanted to think about again. Jake was leaning against a wall and smiling at Lilly. She was also looking right back at him and blushing. Then for a few seconds, just before I went on, I could have sworn he began flirting with her. What was going on? Not them, they better not...
