The Things I Do for Love

Getting Ready For…

KNOCK! KNOCK!

Lily and Miley opened their door. "Hi Mr. Moseby," they said. It was the morning after the little fight, and other than the problems that needed fixing, things were ok.

"Who are you two?"

"Uhh…," they forgot that Mr. Moseby only knew them as Lola and Hannah, and right now they were Lily and Miley. "We're…friends."

"Friends or fans?"

"Friends, trust us."

"Well, where's Miss Montana and Miss Luftnangle?"

"They're… busy."

"Oh, alright, well, tell them the limo is waiting for them."

"Uhh…ok."

With that, he left.

"Limo?" Lily asked.

"Are we going somewhere?"

"I don't know, I'll go ask my dad." She knocked on her dad's door.

"Daddy, why is there a limo waiting for us?"

"Oh, you and Jake have to go do the Jackie Hendricks Show (made her up)" She rolled her eyes. She went back and told Lily. They changed.

"Hmm," Miley said once they were Hannah and Lola. "The Jackie Hendricks Show is live, right?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Maybe we can put our plan into action a little early then."

"You mean, like bring them?"

"That's exactly what I mean."

"Great idea, let's go get the boys." They pounded on Jake and Oliver's door.

"You ready?"

"Yeah," he says as the four of them walk out.

"Hey, you know, I'm supposed to sing two songs," Miley said.

"Yeah, so?" Oliver asked.

"Well… what if I only sang one?"

"Why?"

"What if someone else sings the other one?"

"Like who?"

"Like a certain two people named Troy and Gabriella, Taylor said they could sing."

"You're right, but someone also said she has stage fright."

"That's why we won't tell them, we'll just bring them."

"You're right, they can't just refuse if it's live."

"True."

"Let's tell the girls first so we can get over the screaming about going to the Jackie Show."

They go down to the fourth floor and knock on the east high girl's room. "Oh, hi, Jake, Hannah, people I don't know," Sharpay says, people I don't know, referring to Oscar (Oliver, I got a question on that) and Lola (Lily)

"Hey…Sharpay is it?" Hannah says pretending that she has hardly met her.

"Yeah."

"Well, Jake and I are doing the Jackie Hendricks Show and were wondering if you guys would like to come."

They didn't quite get an answer from her because…well…

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!"

"Shar, what's wrong?" Kelsi asked, coming to the door. "Oh, hey, jake, Hannah," she added, with some excitement.

"We were wondering if you guys wanna come to the Jackie Show and she screamed."

"Are you serious? You want us to come."

"Of course, you guys are, like, new friends."

"Oh, cool! I'll definitely go, but I'll ask Gabi and Tay if they want to go."

"Ok." Kelsi walked back to the couch. They saw her say something to Taylor and Gabriella. Then, they heard:

"Oh my god!"

"Seriously!" Kelsi nodded.

"You guys wouldn't mind telling the guys, would, ya?" 'Hannah' said, poking her head in.

"Sure."

"Be downstairs in 20 minutes, k?"

"Ok."

Hannah, Jake, Lily, and, Oscar (Oliver) left the room. "Wait!" Sharpay called. "I'm ready, can I go with you guys?"

"Sure!" Hannah called as Sharpay hurried to catch up with them.

Sharpay noticed Hannah had a sneaky look on her face. "The famous Hannah Montana is up to something!"

"No, I'm not," she said, obviously lying through her teeth.

"Yes, you are, where's your girlfriend Jake?" she asked, obviously implying something.

"Miley…doesn't really like the whole spot light thing, that's why you haven't see her before you met her."

"Oh, again, I ask, what are you hiding Hannah?"

"Can you keep a secret?"

"Absolutely."

"Well, Miley keeps telling me about how in love this Troy and Gabi are…so I thought that I could do a little something to help."

"Really, Miley said you might, but I didn't think she was serious."

"Yeah, well, she told me about the situation, and I was more than happy to help, so I figured we can force them to sing, if we do it on the Jackie Show rather then at the concert, it would reach more people."

"I like the way you think, I think the same way, you see one time these two people were trying… never mind,"

"No, go on."

"Ok, this one time, these two people were trying to steal away the leads in the school musical from me and I didn't like that, so I tried to stop them."

"Why didn't you want to tell us that?"

"Well…I was kind of a bitch."

"We've all been that before."

"No, to two people who didn't do anything wrong and I now call two of my best friends."

"Explain."

"Ok, these two people really could sing and they accidentally auditioned. Well, I didn't like that because me and Ryan were the leads in all the musicals and I didn't want them to take that away from me…I mean us. So, one of them had an important basketball game and one of them had a scholastic decathlon on the same day. So, I had the drama teacher change the call backs to the day of the basketball game and decathlon, but it didn't work out because they were able to do all three. Not only did they get the parts in the musical, but the basketball team won the basketball game, and the academic team won the decathlon." (sort of HSM in a nutshell, although I left out some major parts)

"Wow, Sharpay, that was kind of mean of you."

"I know."

"So, who were these two?"

"That's the part I don't like about the story, it was Troy and Gabi."

"Oh," Jake said, somewhat shocked, Sharpay had seemed nicer than that.

"Aww, but, that's kind of a cute story about how they came together."

"It's cuter if you hear everything."

"Oh, I have to call my da- I mean, manager, and tell him that you guys are gonna be coming," Hannah said.

She dialed his number. "What's up Miles?"

"Um, I'm gonna bring the kids from New Mexico along to the show."

"You sure you wanna do that?"

"Yes, very sure."

"Ok."

"Bye."

"Bye."

"He says okay. Now, Sharpay, can Troy and Gabi sing?"

"Yes, absolutely, probably the best amateur singers I've ever heard, better then some of the professional music out there, some of it is really crappy, but Troy and Gabi are great."

"What can they sing?"

"Well, the musical's song was called, 'What I've Been Looking For', their call back song was called 'Breaking Free' and I've been told that the first song they sang together was 'The Start of Something New', so probably one of those."

"Alright."

"Don't worry, all of those songs are somewhat romantic…er…that's not the right word, they're kind of love songs, kinda, but 'Breaking Free' isn't really, it's good enough though."

"Yeah, I really hope Gabi can do this."
