The Things I Do For Love

Ideas and Suspicions

Later that night, (Miley didn't have a concert til the next day) everybody, including Zack and Cody was sitting in the lounge. Miley was in Jake's lap. Lily was resting her head against Oliver's shoulder. Taylor was in Chad's lap (I forgot to mention they were goin out too) Everybody else were cuddled up some way or another (except for Troy and Gabi, who were next to each other). "Hey, guys, I'm gonna go get some dinner, wanna come?" Troy asked.

"I'd love to," Gabi said.

"Anyone else?"

"No."

"Ok." The two headed off to dinner.

"Finally!" Miley said.

"What?" everybody, except for Jake asked.

"I want to ask you guys about Troy and Gabi, are they going out?"

"No, but they should be," Taylor said.

"What do you mean?" Miley asked, even though she had a pretty good idea what she meant.

"Well, Troy and Gabi like...beat all odds at East High, she was a geek, he was a jock, they came together and got the leads of the musical together, they brought all us together, because frankly, we hated each other. They proved that people in different cliques can be friends…or more than that. They're like totally in love with each other, and neither of them will admit it to each other."

"Hmm," Miley said.

"You said, 'admit it to each other,' will they admit it to other people?" Lily asked.

"Yeah," Zeke answered. "They do nothing but talk to each other, about each other."

"Yeah, but, have they told you guys their feelings?"

"Uh huh."

"Interesting…" Miley said.

"What are you thinking Miley?" Lily asked.

"Well, me and Jake were…" Oliver interrupted her before she could finish.

"Lovebirds!" he coughed.

"It's not funny when they're actually together, you doughnut!" Lily exclaimed.

"If I might interrupt…" Zack started.

"Wait a second, who are you two?" Taylor asks. The others nodded, because they didn't know each other either.

"I'm Zack and he's Cody, our mom's the singer here, so we live here."

"Even more interesting…" Miley said, even though she knew this from Hannah's last visit, she just now remembered.

"Come on now Miley, what are you thinking?" Kelsi asked.

"Well, like I was saying before I was rudely interrupted, me and Jake were talking last night and were thinking of some ways to make them go out. I mean, come on, they're like meant to be together. Plus, with Zack and Cody's knowledge of the ins and outs of this hotel, we could definitely work something out."

"I like the way you think," Sharpay said.

"Anybody got a tape recorder?" Miley asked.

"No."

"Dang it."

"Hmm…" Miley said, getting a plan in her head.

"What?"

"What if…I don't know…the whole world was rooting for them to get together?"

"How could that happen?" Oliver asked.

"Well, it just so happens that I have a boyfriend who is friends with Hannah Montana," she said, winking at Oliver, Lily, and Jake.

"Hannah would seriously do that?"

"For true love, she would."

"Cool," Taylor said taking out her phone.

"What are you doing?"

"Calling her, she gave me her number."

"No!"

It was too late, she had dialed. Miley's Hannah phone started ringing. Everybody looked at her strangely. "I'll let the machine pick it up."

The phone kept ringing. After a few rings, Taylor hung up. The instant she did, Miley's phone stopped ringing.

Think Miley, think! A good excuse, come on, think!

"Uhh…um…you see… I must have accidentally grabbed Hannah's phone."

"Oh," everybody said. But they were all thinking the same thing. She's lying. There's something going on here.

Well, for those of you who guessed what I was talking about in the last chapter, here it is. I was basically talking about how if Lily and Oliver tell Miley's story, something Hannah Montana-ish might come up and get the HSM gang suspicious. So congrats to wolfwhisperer and xJiley4evx.

This was my favorite chapter to write, I just had fun with it. I was sort of…experimenting, if you will.
