Hehe. Thanks guys. We're almost there. So you guys have all had really great ideas, and one of you has even guessed what my idea was for the story. Great job! Anyways, I'm going on vacation and I won't be back until next week Thursday. I'm supposed to be packing right now, but I wanted to put this up for you.

"Wow, Oliver, when did you get so smart?" Lilly asked playfully. She went over to the phone he had pointed out and picked up the reciever, waiting for the dial tone. "Yep, it works."

"Okay, so whose parents are we gonna call?" Renae asked. Everyone looked at each other and shrugged.

"Wait, maybe we don't have to call our parents." Oliver said. No one said anything.

"Oken, did that punch in the head I gave you cause permanent damage?" Jake asked with a grin.

"Probably," Oliver said with a nod, "But that's not the point. I found this." He pulled something out of his pocket. "It's a phone directory, I got it in the lodge. I found some numbers for all around Snowflake and also a few for outside places. There might be a number for a snowplow; I didn't check." Oliver started to flip through the laminated pages and stopped on one near the end. "Here we go, Blizzard Plows."

Cheers and laughs erupted around the room. Lilly and Miley both hugged Oliver. "My hero," Miley said with a grin.

Mrs. Davenport took the number from Oliver and called the snow plow service, while everyone else started talking again. Miley, Lilly, and Oliver all sat down on the couch in front of the fire. Jake and Nathan followed. As Jake sat down on the floor in front of the couch, he tried to catch Miley's eye. She looked away.

"So, uh, what happened to Renae? She looks completely different. I like it," Nathan had been staring at her since they arrived.

"Oh, that would be the work of Amber and Ashley. We were bored, so A&A Makeover Service decided to do some work on Renae." Miley grinned.

"Wait a second, Stewart." Ashley walked over and sat on the arm of the couch. "A&A Makeover Service. I like it... Of course the first A stands for Ashley."

"Yeah, I like it," Amber added coming up behind Ashley. "Could come in handy since the Bank Of Dad is officially closed," she muttered under her breath.

"No more Bank Of Dad?" Lilly said in mock-sympathy. She and Miley giggled. "What happened?"

Amber and Ashley exchanged glances. "Umm, well..." Ashley started, her face flushing. "I sort of spent $1200 on a handbag..."

"And then I bought a $900 pair of shoes..." Amber said with a sigh.

"Hmm. If only this would have happened earlier this year, then we could have actually won the contest thingy..." Miley said, glaring at Oliver.

Nathan and Jake laughed. "Oken, you ruin everything don't you?"

"What can I say, it's a gift," Oliver grinned. Lilly smiled and rested her head on his shoulder.

Across the room, Mrs. Davenport hung up the phone. "Hey, guys!" She shouted, to get attention over all of their talking. "I just called Blizzard Plows, and they said one was already deployed to come to Snowflake Lodge. So, I guess someone back in Malibu realized we weren't on our way back and called one for us."

After more cheering, giggling, and laughing was done, Miley looked over her group of friends. "Guys, I think this is the first time we have all been together with out arguing..." The rest of them looked at each other, realizing that she was right.

"It's kind of nice," Amber said. "But when we get back home, you guys are the losers again, k?"

"Sure. Good for us," Lilly rolled her eyes.

Jake took a deep breath. "Miley, can I talk to you for a minute?"

Miley and Lilly looked at each other for a second, but Miley nodded and followed him over by the window. "What's up?"

"Miley, I just want you to know that I apologize for everything I did to hurt you. I didn't mean for it to hurt you, but I guess it did, huh? I know it was way outta line for me to ask you if you were ready to, you know... I just, well, with me being in Romania for so long, I wanted to make sure you didn't wanna leave me or anything. I figured if we did...it... you would think I'm a man or something. I guess I was just scared of losing you..."

Miley sighed. "Jake, I wasn't going to leave you or anything like that. You asking me to do that is what made me leave you. And then, if you didn't mean to hurt me, why did you say things like that about Lilly? She's my best friend, Jake. What you do to hurt her, hurts me just as much. I just can't believe you said those things about her. I don't know if I can forgive you for that." Miley wiped a tear that dripped down her cheek.

Jake looked away. "Can I just say one thing?" Miley nodded. "I'm sorry. I hope that you can forgive me. I know I was a jerk, and I sincerely apologize. But, I'll give you all the time you need. Just let me know, okay?" Jake walked away from Miley, leaving her there alone, crying silently.

"Uhh, Miley, are you okay?" Renae tapped Miley on the shoulder.

"Yeah, thanks, Renae. I'm fine." Miley forced a smile and looked back over at all of her friends. Lilly and Oliver were holding hands, Amber and Ashley were laughing at something Oliver said, Nathan and jake were talking. "Renae? Do you wanna meet someone? I mean, he's no Greg, but..."

"Ugh. Greg. Don't remind me." Renae said with a grin.

Miley took her hand and pulled her over to her friends. "Nathan, this is Renae, Renae, Nathan. I uh, figured you two might wanna meet." Miley said, smiling at Nathan. She sat back down next to Lilly.

"Miles, are you okay? What did Jake wanna talk about?" She let go of Oliver's hand and turned to face Miley.

"He apologized. For everything. And I think he meant it." Miley said, watching Jake stare into the fire.

"Well, are you gonna forgive him? Go back out with him, maybe?"

"I'm not gonna go back out with him. But maybe we can be friends. I will forgive him, but for now, I think I should just let him think. Let me think, too, I guess. We need some time." Miley finished quietly.

Lilly leaned over and gave her a hug. "I'm here for you, Miles. Always."

"I know. Thanks, Lilly."

"I'm here for you too, Miley. Even though I have no idea what we're talking about." Oliver grinned. He had just leaned in towards Lilly to hear what they were saying.

"Gee, thanks." Miley laughed and reached across Lilly to hit him on the arm with a pillow.

Jake looked over at the sound of Miley's laugh, and for a second, everything seemed perfect. Miley, Lilly, and Oliver laughing together, and Amber, Ashley, Renae and Nathan all talking about something that was apparently hilarious. Maybe, just maybe, everything will be okay.
