The Things I Do for Love

The Jackie Show!

In the Limo:

Everybody was piled in the stretch limo on their way to the Jackie Hendricks Show. The only noise coming was Troy whispering to Gabi and her giggling. "So," Mr. Stewart said. "What are you kids' names and who's dating who?"

"Da- Mr. Stewart!" Hannah exclaimed in embarrassment.

"What? I don't want to make things uncomfortable."

"Whatever," she mumbled, still embarrassed.

"Um, I'm Taylor, and I'm dating Chad," Taylor said, pointing to Chad.

"I'm Sharpay, and I'm dating Zeke," Sharpay said pointing to Zeke.

"I'm Jason, dating Kelsi," Jason said pointing to Kelsi.

"And the people over there flirting," Sharpay said, pointing to Troy and Gabi. "Troy and Gabriella, you can call her Gabi."

They hadn't heard because they were too busy flirting and whispering and giggling.

"Oh," Sharpay added. "Not dating."

"I'm sorry, did you say not dating."

Sharpay just nodded. He was shocked. These two had been whispering and giggling and flirting every time he saw them. It was weird… they weren't dating?

"We know what you mean," Miley said, reading his expression.

All of the sudden, Troy and Gabi started randomly singing along to the radio. Miley/Hannah heard them. They were good.

Don't let nobody tell you your life is over

Be every color that you are

Into the Rush now,

you don't have to know how

At the Show:

BTW: The Jackie Show is like… as big as Oprah, but it has different kinds of guests.

The Show Starts in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 (remember it's live)

"Hi, and welcome to the Jackie Hendricks Show!" Jackie Hendricks shouted to the audience. "Now, we're gonna get right down to the fun today, please welcome… Jake Ryan and Hannah Montana!"

'If We Were a Movie' started playing through the stereo system as the two came to the stage and sat down on the couch for guests. "Well, first off, how are you two today?" Jackie asked, once the 15 seconds of music had faded out.

"Good," they both answered.

"Ok, so down to business, Jake, how is Zombie High going?"

"Actually, really great, you know, there is a wonderful cast and we have so much fun with the whole zombie thing."

"Yeah, I would too. So, I saw an episode with Hannah Montana on it a few days ago (I'm talking about the one on TV, it's one of my favs, not He's Back!), it was pretty good, but everybody expected you and Zeronda to kiss in it, but instead, she kissed the dog. Why was that?"

Jake and Hannah laughed at the memory of why. "Well, the producers would kill me if I told you this, but, what are they gonna do, fire the star of the show?"

"True, so why?"

"Well, truth be told, it was originally written in the script."

"Really, so why wasn't it on TV?"

"You can ask Hannah that," Jake said, looking at her.

The audience laughed and Hannah blushed. "I asked them to take it out."

The audience laughed harder. "Why is that Hannah?" Jackie said, trying to hold in her laughter.

"Well, he had a girlfriend at the time and I didn't feel comfortable kissing him." (I'm not sure if he was dating Rachel at that time or not, let's just say he was)

Jackie raised her eye brows at her. "Are you sure you weren't a little nervous?"

"Nervous, me, please, no."

"Uh huh," Jake said sarcastically. "Actually, our lips were millimeters away when the director called cut and rewrote that part."

"Oh, well, that sucks."

"Yeah," Jake says. "But, hey, me and Hannah filmed an episode a few weeks ago (He's Back!), maybe, there'll be a kiss in that."

"Don't you know, you filmed the episode?"

"Well, of course I do, but the producers would actually fire me if I said if they did or didn't."

"Ah, of course."

"Yep."

"So, onto Hannah, how's the music industry treatin' ya?"

"Oh, great, the fans are wonderful and I love to perform."

"So, I know you don't like to play favorites, but, what's your favorite song?"

"Um, I love all of them, but I would have to admit 'If We Were a Movie' is my favorite."

"Really, I like it too, what would you say it's about, I read that you wrote it."

"Yes I did, it's mainly about a girl who really loves a guy who is dating somebody else, and you know, she dreams of telling him and what it would be like if she did, or if it were a movie."

"Did you write this about someone in particular, in one of your concerts, you said that it goes out to a special someone (He's Back!)."

"I may have, but that remains my business."

"I figured that, but that brings up another question that everyone is begging to know, you have denied it, your reps have chosen not to comment, now, are you two dating?"

They nervously laughed. Hannah decided to answer the question. "You know, we were obviously expecting that question, but the answer stays the same. Absolutely not, we are good friends and he has a girlfriend, that is not me."

"Whatever you say," Jackie said, not buying it at all. "We'll be right back on the Jackie Hendricks show," she said, looking into the camera.

"And, cut!" the director called.

Jackie turned to Miley and Jake, eye brows raised. "Now, you realize that this imaginary girlfriend thing isn't working."

"But he does have a girlfriend, and there's a backstage full of people back there who have met her," Hannah said.

"Who?"

"Some friends we met here in Boston that we brought along."

"Bring em out."

"Really?"

"Yes, we need proof."

"Uh, ok, guys, come out here for a sec!" Hannah called backstage.

Troy, Gabi, Sharpay, Ryan, Zeke, Jason, Kelsi, Lola, and Oscar came out, looking nervous to meet Jackie Hendricks.

"Wow, that's a lotta people," Jackie said.

"Yeah, well…."

"Ok, so anyway, you people, have you met Jake's girlfriend?"

"Yeah," they answered.

"Is it Hannah?"

"No."

"Really?"

"Yeah, we've met his girlfriend, she's really sweet."

"Would you mind saying that on the air?"

"Seriously?"

"Yes, if he has a girlfriend that is not Hannah, the world wants to know, so, we have about a minute and thirty seconds before we go back on the air, so, go, quickly fix your hair and make up, quickly, you have a minute, go."

They all scattered. Hannah took this time to quickly explain the Troy and Gabi situation. "You're asking me if these two can sing one song instead of you?"

"Yes."

"Um, can they sing, I mean…"

"Yes, they can sing," Hannah said.

"Are you sure?"

"Positive."

"Alright." (I know that probably usually wouldn't happen, but, go with me on this one)

The gang came back out and sat on an extra couch that was out. (It was a big couch)

"In 5, 4, 3, 2, 1!" the director called.

"Alright, we're back with the Jackie Hendricks Show, now, we have some guests here that prove that Jake Ryan's mysterious girlfriend actually exists, how are you guys today?"

"Good," they all answered.

"Well, that's good, now tell me what you know."

Sharpay being the bravest, started, "Well, yes, we have met his girlfriend, she is super sweet…kinda spunky, but hey."

"Uh huh, so, how do he and his girlfriend act around each other?"

"So cute, not a ton of PDA(public display of affection), but it's obvious they're together, cuddled up sometimes, like I said, so cute." Jake blushed.

"Alright, can you tell us her name?"

"Well…maybe her first name, she obviously doesn't want press, can I, Jake?"

Jake asks Hannah with his eyes. She says yes with her eyes. "Sure."

"Her name is Miley, that's all I'm telling you."

"Miley, interesting name," Jackie said.

"That's what I said," Hannah added.

"Yes, well, I love her, so…"

"Well, this has been quite an interview, when, we come back, Hannah will sing a song, and so will two other unheard of, wonderful singers will sing a duet, but the fun part is, they don't know it yet! Be right back!"

"And…cut!" the director yelled.

Jackie went off to touch up her make up, leaving everybody else, there. "You guys know who she was talking about when she said 'two other unheard of, wonderful singers will sing a duet, but the fun part is, they don't know it yet," Taylor asked.

"No," Hannah and Jake said quickly. Taylor then caught the look in Hannah's eyes.

"You didn't!" she exclaimed, realizing who Jackie was talking about.

"I didn't what, Taylor?" Hannah asked, kind of her way of saying yes.

"Dang girl, you're good."

"I know I am."

Everybody besides Miley, Jake, Oliver, Lily, Sharpay, and now, Taylor, looked utterly puzzled. "What's going on, Tay?" Chad asked.

"You'll see."

"Whatever." Jackie came back.

"Hannah, go to Stage B, your band's waiting for you." She rushed up to meet her band, and quickly got ready.

"You guys can go back now," she told the rest of them. They went.

"And, we're back in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1!" the director called.

"Hi, and we're back with Jake Ryan and Hannah Montana, and some of their friends. Now, Hannah will sing in a couple minutes, but first, teo different people will sing a duet. Now, remember, they know nothing about this, so, they're not on the stage yet, but please welcome, Hannah's request to sing, Gabriella Montez and Troy Bolton!"

Gabi and Troy's jaws dropped as they heard their names. They felt themselves being pushed to the stage by their friends. Gabriella gave Hannah a 'What the heck?' look and in return, Hannah just winked to her and whispered something into her band leader's ear. The music to 'Breaking Free' started. They didn't know what else to do, so they just started singing. The audience's jaws dropped when they heard their voices. Eventually, they started getting into it, this happened so fast, they almost didn't have time for stage fright.

Troy:
We're soarin', flyin'
There's not a star in heaven
That we can't reach

Gabriella:
If we're trying
So we're breaking free

Troy:
You know the world can see us
In a way that's different than who we are

Gabriella:
Creating space between us
'Til we're separate hearts

Both:
But your faith it gives me strength
Strength to believe

Both:

In a way that's different than who we are

'Man, I really wish he would kiss me' Gabi was thinking. 'But, he doesn't like me like that.

"I really want to kiss her,' Troy thought. 'But, I don't think she likes me like that.'

They walked off the stage, with a huge amount of applause, seeing as they did just as good as in the call backs.

"Well, you two did a phenomenal job!" Jackie said, also, seeming to be shocked. "Now, here's Hannah, singing, "Best of Both Worlds!" (there's a reason I picked that song)

The drum beat to the song started playing.

Oh yeah
Come on

You get the limo out front (ohohoh)
Hottest styles, every shoe, every color
Yeah when you're famous it can be kinda fun
It's really you but no one ever discovers

In some ways you're just like all your friends
But on stage you're a star

You get the best of both worlds
Chill it out, take it slow
Then you rock out the show
You get the best of both worlds
Mix it all together
And you know that it's the best of both worlds

The best of both worlds

You go to movie premiers (is that Orlando Bloom?)
Hear your songs on the radio
Livin' two lives is a little weird (yeah)
But school's cool 'cause nobody knows nobody knows

Yeah you get to be a small town girl
But big time when you play your guitar

You get the best of both worlds
Chill it out, take it slow
Then you rock out the show

You get the best of both worlds
Mix it all together
And you know that it's the best of both
You know the best of both worlds

Pictures and autographs
You get your face in all the magazines
The best part is that
You get to be whoever you wanna be

Best...best...yeah the best of both
Best...best...you got the best of both
Best...best...c'mon the best of both

Who would have thought that a girl like me
Would double as a super staaaaaaaaaaaaaaar
Woo!
You get the best of both worlds
Chill it out, take it slow
Then you rock out the show
You get the best of both worlds
Mix it all together
And you know that it's the best
You get the best of both worlds
Without the shades and the hair
You can go anywhere
You get the best of both worlds
Mix it all together...oh yeah
It's so much better
'Cause you know you've got
The best of both worlds

Troy and Gabi were the only ones backstage who were actually listening to the song. Everybody else had heard it a hundred times, so they were goofing off. Troy and Gabi had heard it a lot too, but ever since dinner that night, they had been very suspicious and paying close attention to everything Jake, Hannah, and Miley did. Plus, they were tired from their song.

"Troy," she said to him in the middle of the song. "You know that thing you said about listening to the words of the songs?"

"Yeah," he said, not sure where she was getting at.

"Well, I'm listening to the words of this song, and I think I realize what's going on."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Ok, so, the purpose of the song, was to bring them a little closer. But anyway, has Gabi figured out Miley's secret? Maybe, maybe not.

Disclaimer: Well, if I owned, HM, Jake wouldn't have left. If I owned HSM, Troy and Gabriella would have kissed. If I owned Suite Life, well, it wouldn't change much, but, the boys' hair would be shorter. Well, anyways, me no ownie!
