Wow, 17 reviews for the first chapter? That's like the amount I get for a one-shot! Well, hope this pleases you and that everyone is in character. And sorry for random Lilly moments, but they are important in the future... you'll see why.
Warning: Long chapter, longer then the last one. Be prepared, I'll wait while you go get some snakage. (Yes, Ron Stoppable is my all time favourite cartoon character.)
Ooh, and for those who didn't know, today was (still is) the Unofficial Lackson Day! Because it's April Fools. 'Nuff said.
Chapter 2
"Oliver!"
"What Lilly?"
"Are you still sleeping?"
"I was until you phoned me."
"Whatever. I want to know what happened to you yesterday? You missed the best football game ever!"
"Lilly, I don't really care."
"Ok, fine. By the way, why were you so nice to Miley yesterday? You never do those things for me… is it because you finally realized you like her?"
"What? H-How could you think that?"
"You do! You do! And I noticed the list I printed out was missing… you don't know where it is, do you?"
"Uh… nope."
"You sure?"
"Yes."
"Ok, I'm meeting Miley down by Rico's today. Like right now and you must be there too."
"Why?"
"You always come with us."
"Can't I meet you at Miley's house later?"
"I'm paying for your food."
"I'll be there!" Oliver said and then hung up. He got out of his bed and walked towards his desk where the list was. He had crossed off the first 5 things and today; he was planning on doing the next 5.
"Hope Miley likes what I'm doing for her." He said as he went off to go find something to wear.

"Is Oliver coming?" Miley asked as she drank her strawberry smoothie.
"Doesn't he always when it's free food? And why are you so eager to see him?" Lilly asked.
"Why were you so eager to get down here?"
"The surf, duh." Lilly said, putting down her banana smoothie. "Which reminds me, I've got to go down and check it out."
"Fine, see you later then." Miley said and then turned to face Rico grinning at her. "What do you want?"
"Nothing." He said innocently and walked away. Miley kept watching him till he was out of sight and then she turned to Jackson.
"What?" He asked. Miley just shook her head and turned around, looking for Oliver.
"Hey Miley." Oliver shouted as he ran towards her. Miley waved to him and soon he was sitting next to her, on the seat that Lilly occupied not that long ago.
"Hey Oliver, you want something to eat?" Miley asked.
"Yeah, but I don't have money. Lilly promised she'd pay for me."
"But she's run off."
Be cute when he really wants something.
"Jackson…" Oliver turned to face the other boy there. "Can't you give me something to eat? I promise I'll pay you back as soon as Lilly gets here."
"Uh… how about no?" Jackson said.
"Aw, come on. Please, I'm starving!" Oliver begged. Miley giggled and he turned to face her. "Miley! Please, could you pay for my chips? Just one bowl of chips, that's all I ask of you." He got on his hands and knees. "Please?"
'He looks so cute when he begs.' Miley thought and couldn't help but smile. "Ok, sure. Jackson, one plate of chips."
"Coming up." Jackson said as Miley put the money down on the counter.
"Thank you Miley." Oliver said as he held onto her hand.
His hands will always find yours.
"Hey, you wanted free food." Miley said as she moved in the chair, but Oliver's hand held onto hers. She smiled slightly and Oliver noticed this. He then had a dreamy look on his face until Jackson put his plate of chips in front of him.
"There you go Oliver." He said and then moved onto his other customers. Oliver looked down at the plate and then at Miley who was still drinking her smoothie. He let go of her hand so he could eat his chips.
"Hey Oliver, seems like you didn't get free food after all." Lilly said as she came running up to them.
"No, actually, I paid for them." Miley said.
"Aw, first date. How cute."
"This isn't a date!" Both said and then looked at each other.
"And you're speaking in unison."
"Lilly…" Miley said in a warning tone.
"Ok, I'm only messing with you. But I'm leaving you two again, there are killer waves down there and I have to go fetch my board!" She said, looking really excited.
"Go." Miley said. Lilly grinned and ran off.
"Guess it's just you and me… again." Miley said to Oliver.
"Nothing wrong with that. Just as long as you talk to me and if any guys come to flirt with you, don't make me answer for you." Oliver joked.
"Don't worry, I'll use you to chase the guys away." Miley said. Oliver finished off his plate of chips and then held his hand out to Miley.
"Then lets go find something to do." He said. Miley looked down at his hand and then up at his face. She put down her smoothie and took his hand.
"Let's go."

"The pier? Is this a date or something?" Miley asked as she looked at the stalls and games on the pier, along with the Ferris wheel.
"No. Just thought we could come here, since there is nothing else we can do." Oliver said and shrugged.
"Ok then, first we have to get cotton candy." Miley said. Oliver grinned and grabbed her hand again, pulling her through the crowd and towards the candyfloss stall.
"Two please." Oliver said and then took out his wallet.
"You lied, you had money to buy your own chips!" Miley said.
"Lilly promised me free food, we'll take it up with her later." Oliver said and grinned. Miley rolled her eyes, but smiled. The man behind the stall gave Oliver the cotton candy as he paid and gave one to Miley.
"So what do you want to do first?" Miley asked. Oliver took a big bite out of the candyfloss as he looked around. He spotted a the stall where you had pop a certain amount of balloons you win a prize, which was a stuffed animal.
"Come on." Oliver said, dragging Miley towards there. "Hold this, but don't eat it."
"Like I would." Miley said as she took Oliver's cotton candy.
"How many turns?" The man asked.
"Five." Oliver said and paid for five darts. Miley watched as Oliver missed the balloons 3 times, but managed to hit 2.
"You win a stuffed bear." The guy said in a bored voice, handing Oliver a small blue teddy bear.
"Better then nothing." He said and then handed the bear to Miley as she gave him back this candyfloss.
"For me?" She asked.
"Could become a friend of Beary." Oliver said, grinning. Miley smiled at him as she walked off to another stall. Oliver followed her, thinking how he was going to do the other things on the list.

"Hey Jackson."
"I don't know where Miley is."
"I wasn't going to ask you that."
"Oh sure you were." Jackson said, looking up at Lilly.
"No, I came to ask you if Miley and Oliver seem weird to you."
"Aren't they always weird?"
"No, you're the weird one. And so am I sometimes. But that's beside the point. I think Oliver likes Miley and he's trying to win her over."
"I doubt it, I think Miles has had a crush on Oken for a while… she just doesn't know it yet."
"So are you going to help me keep a look out on them?" Lilly asked hopefully.
"No. I don't want to get involved in my sister's love life, thank you very much." Jackson said and moved towards a customer. Lilly sighed and left the counter, trying to think of anything that Oliver could be doing. She was pretty sure he stole the paper she printed out.

"Ok, now can we go on the Ferris wheel?" Oliver asked.
"You really want to go on it? It just goes around in a circle."
"You've dragged me all over the place, I need to rest."
"I let you stop and eat a couple of minutes ago."
"Miley…"
"Ok, we can go on it. I was just teasing you." She said as they walked towards the wheel. Oliver followed her and paid for their ticket. They managed to get onto the next carriage.
"Why did you so badly want to come on? It's getting dark anyway." Miley said.
"You'll see." Oliver said and sat back. Miley looked at him, but sat back too. Oliver then looked at Miley's hair again and smiled. As the carriage went up, the setting sun's rays hit it, making it seem to glow.
Play with your hair.
Oliver's hand then went up as a strand of hair fell in Miley's face and he moved it away. She looked at him as he started to twirl her hair in his fingers.
"What are you doing?" She asked.
"Uh… do you want a massage?"
"A what?"
"A massage. You seem a bit tense."
Offer you plenty of massages.
"No, I'm fine."
"Oh ok. Maybe after a Hannah concert or something? To help you relax."
"That's so sweet Oliver. I'll consider it." Miley said and smiled.
"Now look." He said and pointed ahead as they stopped. They could see the ocean now, with half the sun already gone on the horizon.
"It's beautiful." Miley said, looking at him. "But romantic."
"Oh, I just wanted to show this to you… because it's so beautiful."
"Thank you." Miley said and then took hold of his hand and squeezed it.
"I just thought you deserved to have this kind of experience, especially with Jake back and going out with Mikayla." Oliver said. The smile on Miley's face fell.
"Yeah, it's weird with both of them here, but I can handle it. I'm glad though that you showed this to me." Miley said and looked at Oliver.
"So am I." He said as the wheel stopped. They were back at the bottom and the guy in charge let them off. Miley let go of his hand and the two walked around, seeing most of the stalls closing.
"Let's go somewhere else now. There's nothing more to do here." Miley said.
"You don't want to go home?"
"Not yet. Let's go walk down on the beach, see if Lilly could be there."
"Oh yeah, Lilly. I forgot about her today." Oliver said.
"She won't be pleased when she hears that." Miley said and then pushed Oliver slightly. "You're on."
"On? On for what?" He asked and then saw her running ahead of him. "Oh! Miley!"
"Come and get me Oken!" She shouted back to him, running along the shoreline. Oliver was catching up to her, but she was fairly fast. He managed to catch her by grabbing her from behind and swinging her around. Miley shrieked as the two fell to the ground.
"Oliver." Miley said but started laughing.
"Miley." He said and touched her shoulder. "You're on."
Miley didn't move to get up. Instead, she lay on the ground as she heard soft slow music make it's way down from one of the houses. She sat up and looked at her best guy bud. "Dance with me."
Dance with you even if he feels like a dork.
"D-dance with you? I can't dance." Oliver said. Miley got up and grabbed his hands, pulling him up with her.
"I don't care, I want to dance with my friend. Now, put your hands on my waist like this." She said and put his hands where they were supposed to be. She put her hands around his neck. "And now just sway to the music."
"Ok." He said and tried, but failed. Miley laughed and rested her head on his shoulder.
"It's ok Oliver, I'll teach you how to dance properly in time for prom." She said.
"I hope so, because we have 3 years till then. We should start tomorrow." He joked.
"Oliver Oken, always the joker and the donut." Miley said.
"But I'm your donut."
Miley stopped moving and pulled away to look at him. "My donut?" She asked and frowned.
"Uh… as in the donut of friendship." He said and grinned. It looked like Miley bought it and he sighed, letting go of her.
"I think maybe I should take you home now, your dad or Lilly will be worried."
xXxXx
"Bye Miles."
"Bye Oliver." Miley said as she shut the door and turned around to see Lilly sitting on the couch.
"We have a problem." Miley said.
"What sort of problem."
"A problem of which I don't know how to solve."
"Oliver? What did he do?"
"What didn't he do? He took me to the pier, won me a teddy bear, showed me the most beautiful sunset and we couldn't stop holding hands."
"So? Nothing out of the ordinary."
"Lilly! I don't like Oliver like that."
"Oh come on Miles, tell me you don't think he's not cute. I had a crush on him back in preschool for like a day, what's stopping you from having a crush on him?"
"The fact that it's Oliver?"
"Will you stop saying that? And being in denial is not good for you. Now I have to go home, any more questions can be answered by Jackson or your dad." Lilly said, getting off the couch.
"I'm sorry I didn't spend time with you today." Miley said to her.
"Hey, no problem, I spent some time with the guys. Just admit you like Oliver soon and then you won't have to worry about me." Lilly said and closed the front door before the pillow Miley threw at her could reach her.
"Lilly's right Miles." Jackson said from the kitchen.
"Good night Jackson. And I don't like Oliver!" Miley said as she stormed up the stairs, but the smile slowly came back on her face as she thought about what happened that day with Oliver.
My internet switched off on me today, so I had time to write chapter 4... yep, only 1 chapter left to write. So maybe you'll get daily updates. Whoo hoo!
Next Chapter: Back to school for Miley and Oliver... and a Lilly on a sugar high. Though there's still Jake to worry about and Oliver will always be there for Miley. And Lilly asks Miley to define her new relationship with Oliver.
That sounds like an advert for a soap opera. No worries, I hate soap operas. And reviews make my day.
