Aww thanks you guys!! The next part is the last one! Aaahh I already know what's gonna happen, but I'm still excited! Hee Hee.


"Oliver, are you really eating that?" Lilly asked, looking at Oliver's plate with a scrunched up nose.

Oliver looked down at his plate innocently. "Why not?" He used his fork to shove aside the many layers of food, all unidentifiable because he had chosen every single food item available, but he mixed it together, resulting in a lumpy greenish-brown goo.

"That's disgusting," Miley shuddered. She took a bite of her mashed potatoes. "Mmm, carbs..."

"Well, the way I see it, it all ends up in the same place anyway. So why not mix it all together?" He shoved a forkfull of goo into his mouth. He chewed, swallowed, and grimaced. "I see your point." He got up to get a clean plate.

"So, who were you talking to outside?" Lilly asked.

"Oh. Amber and Ashley. It turns out they were the ones who told everybody what Jake asked me." Miley answered between bites.

Lilly blushed a little. "Uhh, Miley, I kinda knew they were the ones." She said quietly.

"What do you mean?"

"I heard them talking about it one night it the cabin..." Lilly said. She avoided Miley's eyes.

"And you didn't tell me?" Miley said in shock.

"No... I just, well, actually I don't know why I didn't tell you," Lilly said as she picked through her plate with her fork.

Miley sighed. "Well, I guess I deserved it. I knew that Oliver and Jake were fighting about you and I didn't say anything. So, I sorta understand why you didn't tell me..." She and Lilly went back to eating, and a few seconds later, Sarah, Renae, and Nathan showed up with their plates.

"Do you guys mind if we sit here?" Nathan asked.

"Nope, pull up some chairs." Lilly answered. The two made room for them, and Oliver came back to sit on the other side of Lilly.

"So, this was a crazy trip, huh?" Sarah grinned. The others nodded in agreement, because their mouths were full.

After she swallowed, Lilly said, "Well, let's see: Miley's boyfriend comes back from Romania, asks her to have sex with him; they break up; we meet hot ski instructors; Oliver punches Jake; they go to the hospital; they come back; the school board decides to let us stay longer; Oliver and I makeout under the mistletoe; Renae gets a total make over; Jake, Oliver, and Nathan climb through air vents to save us; and snow plows come to dig us out of the ski lodge." Lilly took a huge breath. "Did I miss anything?"

"You forgot 'Lilly embarasses Oliver by telling everyone they made out'." Oliver blushed, grinning sheepishly.

"Sorry, Oliver," Lilly said, and she leaned over to kiss him.

"You guys made out? It's about freaking time," Nathan laughed.

"Thanks, Nathan," Lilly shot at him, a sarcastic grin on her face.

"You know, amazingly enough, after all that's happened, I don't really want to go back to Malibu." Renae said as she swallowed a forkful of salad.

Everyone grunted their agreement through mouthfuls of food. Mr. Corelli stood up on a chair. "Seaview students, ten minutes till we board the buses. So, stuff your faces now while you still have the chance."


"Home sweet home..." Miley muttered as Seaview Middle School came into view. The palm trees, sand, and ocean were all so different from the snowy view of Snowflake Lodge. The bus pulled in, and there was a scramble as everyone pushed past each other to get off the bus first.

"There's my girl," Mr. Stewart said as he embraced Miley in his arms. "So how was the trip?"

"Long story. Maybe later, dad." Miley told him to wait for her in the car and she went off to find Lilly and Oliver. She wasn't suprised to find them kissing near the front steps of the school. Oliver was leaning against the side of the building so he didn't have to use his crutches to support himself. After Miley cleared her throat very loudly a few times, the two finally broke apart.

"Oh hey Miles, didn't see you there." Oliver grinned.

"No. Of course not," Miley smirked. "Lil, can I talk to you for a second?" She pulled Lilly by the arm over to the side.

"What's up?"

Miley handed her cellphone over to Lilly. "Read the text message."

"Uhh, kay... 'miles quit leaving your bras on the shower rod. - jackson' ?" Lilly said in a confused tone. "Why did I need to read that?"

"Not that one," Miley said, snatching her pnone back. She opened the correct one, the one from Jake. Lilly's eyes widened as she read it.

"Miley, are you going to go?"

Miley sighed and leaned up against the wall. "I don't know. He could just end up being a jerk again..."

"Okay, Miley, can you honestly tell me that you don't have feelings for him anymore?" Lilly crossed her arms. Miley bit her lip and shrugged. "Miles, what are you still doing here? You obviously still like him, so if I were you I would go find him and at least listen to what he has to say. And see what the suprise is."

Miley nodded. "Thanks, Lil. Hey, can you tell my dad where I'm going? He's waiting for me in the car." Lilly said she would, and Miley started off towards the beach.

"Please still be here..." Miley whispered as she scanned the beach for Jake. She couldn't find him. "Oh well. I guess, maybe it wasn't meant to be..." She sat down in the sand, and suprising herself, a tear slid down her cheek. She wiped it away, and stared at the sunset in front of her.

"Is, uh, this seat taken?"

Miley turned, to find Jake standing behind her, with a grin on his face. He was holding something behind his back. "Pull up some sand," Miley said, immediately regretting it as soon as it came out of her mouth. "God, i'm a dork..."

Jake laughed and sat down beside her. "So, how was the rest of the field trip from hell?"

"It really wasn't that bad. We hung out at an all you can eat buffet for a while. Actually it was for about 3 hours... Mr. Corelli could not stop himself. It all just made me realize how much I missed home." Miley answered. She had this weird feeling in the pit of her stomach. It was like, everytime she was around Jake, she felt completely safe and care free. What am i thinking? This is the guy who tried to get me to do it with him.. But he did say sorry... BUT that doesn't mean he really is...

"Miley? What's wrong? You seem a little pre-occupied..." And that's when Miley realized that Jake had been holding out a boquet of flowers to her.

"Sorry," Miley apologized. She took the flowers and smelled them. "Pink roses, my favorite. How did you know?'

Jake smiled. "Well, I had some help." Miley grinned. Lilly. "Anyways, I am just here to tell you that I am soo sorry. I know I already told you all of this before, but I was thinking in the helicopter ride back home, that you deserve to hear it until you believe me. It's one hundred percent true, and I don't even know how I could have been so stupid. I know that I hurt you, and it hurts me to think that I may lose you forever because of one stupid mistake."

Miley sighed. "Jake, I still like you. A lot. But I just don't know if I can trust you again. I mean, how do I know that you just won't try to do it again?"

Jake watched as the sun dipped completely below the horizon. "Well, I guess you'll just have to believe me, won't you?"

Miley watched Jake. His face looked even more perfect in the starlight. His eyes were so sparkly, and amazing, and... Miley leaned over and hugged him. "You are officially forgiven. But, you are on probation until further notice."

"I can live with that."
