Authors Note: Thank you all so much for reviewing! One in particular really made me laugh- it was very... enthusiastic! haha. And I have allowed non-members to review so I can hear your opinions too.
So this chapter is based on how Ellen on KISS FM said she spotted JB and Miley at Pinkberry along with other Disney stars. This one isn't very eventful, I'm just trying to lead things up to the tour because let me warn you, it's going to be super interesting. And one last thing I wanted to make clear, most of this story is mostly on the frame of Miley's life, I guess it's just easier for me to relate and I know so much about her personal life. But don't worry, Jonas Brothers will always be making an appearance :

I own nothing.

October 6, 2007

The sun rose and looked down upon Los Angeles. People were walking along the side walks with their small dogs held against their chests, cell phones clinging to ears, and shopping bags swaying at their sides. It was a typical Saturday and fortunately it was a much needed day off for Miley. She woke up at 10 am with a messy head of hair and hunger that twanged her insides. As she began walking down the hallway Braison stepped out of his room, still dreary from sleep, and she crept up behind him in attempt to scare him. When she raised her hands and was about to attack him he whipped his head around and said, "Morning Miles." He knew what she was up to as if he had eyes in the back of his head; no, he just had Miley as a crazy sister.

Her forehead and nose wrinkled in displeasure as she crossed her arms and replied, "Morning," in a defeated tone. When she got into the kitchen she found her mom reading People Magazine and sipping coffee out of a homemade pottery mug.

"Hey Mom," Miley walked over to her mother and rested her chin in her shoulder, "What's new?"

"Just another article about the tour and ticket sale madness," she answered.

"Cool. I'm going to eat breakfast out by the pool. Where's the dogs?" she asked as she walked over to the refrigerator and grabbed a container of low-fat yogurt.

"Dad took Tex out in his car, he has a meeting with his manager and everybody else should be outside," Tish said as she got up to put her cup in the sink.

A distant high-pitched voiced yelled, "I've got Loco!" from the family room.

"Thanks Noah," Tish laughed, "I'll be upstairs on the phone if you need anything, okay?" Miley murmured a reply but was already out the sliding glass door that led to the paradise in the back yard. The pool's blue water sparkled as if it were dancing in the morning sunlight. A roar of tiny barks erupted from Miley's feet and she looked down and saw Juicy and Rodeo snapping at her legs, looking for the loveable attention that Miley always offered.

"Roadie!" Miley squealed as she picked up her Yorkshire Terrier and then realized that Juicy was still yapping and picked her up and held her in her other arm. She gracefully walked down the stone steps, while holding her yogurt cup in her teeth and a handful of dogs, and sat down on the lounge chair. As she finished her breakfast, with the help of her puppies licking her fingers, she closed her eyes and rested for a few minutes, enjoying the fresh start to a relaxing day. All of a sudden, a giant splash of water burst from a few yards away and woke Miley from her tranquil thoughts. One eye squinted open to see what the noise was and sure enough it was coming from over the fence where a group of four very energetic boys lived. She sighed and pulled herself off the chair and over to the fence that separated the two properties. Miley folded her arms, placed them on top of the fence and rested her chin on top and watched. Joe was continuously doing cannonballs while Nick was practicing aerials and flips off the edge of the pool, no doubt that those tricks would be apart of their concert performances. Frankie was contently placed on Kevin's shoulders and was slapping his back in means of making him go faster. She stood there for a while, staring out, and slowly drifting off into another state of mind. She heard dripping water in front of her and opened up her eyes to see Nicks soaking wet body in front of her. She couldn't help but turn a very light shade of pink and return her gaze to his face.

"You know, good fences make good neighbors," He said, quoting Robert Frost's poem.

"What a smarty pants," she wisecracked, "You're off too?" He answered, "Totally. And nothing like a morning swim with your brothers to prove it."

"That's for sure, ya'll are loud," she complained.

He ignored her complaint, "Let's go to Pinkberry, I'm up for some Fruity Pebble ice cream," he said as he jumped back into the pool, landing a perfect 360. When his face resurfaced she yelled, "Sure, let me know when," gave him the peace sign and pranced back into the house.

It was the late afternoon when the doorbell rang. Miley bounded down the door and was greeted by the Jonas Brothers, "Yo la, you can come in, just give me a minute." They stepped inside the Italian-styled home and waited until they saw Miley and Brandi appear.

"Thought I'd just come along, if ya'll don't mind," Brandi offered.

"Of course," Kevin said as the five of them walked down the front sidewalk and into his Jeep Commander. As they cruised down the freeway, Nick and Miley chatted in the back seat.

"So… Miley," Nick asked. He was trying to bring up this topic in the easiest way possible. She raised an eyebrow and looked him directly in the eyes, pushing him to go forward in the conversation. "Have you been getting a lot of questions, you know, about us?"

"Yeah I have," she said in a quiet tone, "I mean, Nick we're great friends and maybe something more can come out of that. I don't know." That was a stretch from the truth, in Miley's point of view. She liked Nick but wasn't sure if he felt the same way. She couldn't help but feel the slightest bit of tension between them at that moment and wasn't sure what more to say but thankfully Nick chimed in, "I hope so," he said as he patted her knee. Nick second guessed what he had just said; had he given away too much? Miley smiled and bit her lip as she looked out the window watching the shops pass by; they both were completely aware that they we're in the love zone of 'like like'.

Before anybody could say another word Kevin announced that they had arrived and everyone filed out of the car. They all walked down the side walk catching some stares and quick glances but luckily, no crazy fans. Nick and Miley walked behind with their arms linked together, leaving the awkward feelings behind. When they walked into Pinkberry they were surprised to find Zac and Vanessa at a table in the back talking and eating their frozen yogurt. Miley caught Vanessa's eye and waved. Vanessa noticed the two particularly close couple and winked at Miley. Miley just laughed it off and focused her attention on what flavor she should get. The group eventually migrated over to Zac and Vanessa and when Ashley walked in, it was a total Disney family.

Joe put his arms around the group and yelled out, "The Disney crew rolls in!" They all laughed causing even more of a riot. Nick and Miley sat down by the front window; a more peaceful area. That nearly turned into a chaotic mess when a little girl pointed at Miley through the glass window. Miley ducked and avoided eye contact while Nick also put his head underneath the table, pretending to look for something. When the coast was clear, Miley looked up and giggled, "That could've been interesting."

"Yeah," Nick replied with his head still under the table. When he came back up, he banged his head on the table causing Miley to laugh even harder. "Ouch," he said as he held his head. Miley brushed her fingers through his curls, "That's okay, Fro Bro. You've got enough padding on that head."

"Well are you two liars ready to go?" Joe walked over and asked.

"Who said we were liars," Miley asked as she gathered everything. She stood up to throw out her trash but Nick swiftly grabbed them before she could. She quickly thanked him and turned back to Joe with a questioned look on her face, still waiting for an explanation.

"How much longer can you possibly deny the fact that you're 'just friends'," he retorted with air quotations.

"Obviously they aren't," Brandi muttered under her breath but Miley shot her an evil glare.

"When you're off with Jessica Alba," Miley began but Nick added, "Like that'll ever happen." Joe narrowed his eyes at him. "As I was saying, you'll understand. PDA is like, zero when you're under the camera constantly. Why say we are when only gossip will come out of it," she shrugged.

And that was how she left it.
