I hate this computer... Right, an update, but unfortunately, there is another chapter, otherwise this one would be too long. Some of you might be going 'Yay!' now.

Chapter 5

"When does it end?" Lilly asked, resting her head on her arms and looking up at the clock on the wall. It was Friday and they had science last period.

"You aren't doing anything, we're the ones cutting up this fish." Miley said, looking down at the fish in front of them.

"Because that's just gross. I said Oliver should do everything."

"Team work Lilly." Oliver said and picked up the scalpel. "I feel like a surgeon."

"Ok, I'll hold the fish and you can cut it." Miley said, picking up the fish and putting it on it's back. Lilly stuck out her tongue and then made a disgusted face as Oliver started cutting the fish open.

"Ew, fish guts!" Oliver said as he opened the fish up wider.

"Lilly, you have the job of pulling the guts out of the fish." Miley said.

"With my hands?" Lilly asked.

"Yes Lilly, the point of this exercise is to get fish blood all over your hands." Oliver joked. Lilly made a disgusted face again and he handed her tweezers. "Use this, it'll be less messy."

Have a creative sense of humour

"Alright, alright." Lilly said as Miley laughed at her. Lilly pulled a face and then pulled the fish closer to her. "I'll finish this off while you two make kissy faces at each other."

"Lilly." They both said in a warning tone.

"Wake up and smell the roses guys!" Lilly said and then started muttering things under her breath. Oliver managed to pick up the words 'clueless', 'stubborn', 'oblivious' and some other words that didn't fit in with the sentence.

"Well, at least she's doing something." Miley said as she sat back. She then closed her eyes as Lilly lifted up the intestines and commented on how they reminded her of spaghetti.

"I have officially gone off pasta." Oliver said.

"Yeah." Miley said and then the two burst out laughing. Lilly sent them a death glare as the then picked up a knife.

"Instead of cutting the fish's head off, how about I cut yours?"

"Now Lilly, let's be reasonable here." Miley said, taking the knife out her hands. The bell then rang and Lilly's face brightened.

"See ya later!" She said and ran out of class, leaving Miley and Oliver to clean up the mess.

"I will get her back. She's not coming to the concert tomorrow." Miley said, looking down at the fish.

"Well, Jackson isn't going either. I guess that'll give her time to try out her new tortures on him instead of me." He said and then rubbed the back of his head where Lilly had 'accidentally' hit him with a baseball.

"She'll have fun." Miley said. The two then wrapped the fish and guts up in the newspaper and took it to the garbage can and dumped it there.

"I smell of fish." Oliver said as he picked up his bag.

"So do I." Miley said and held her hands out in front of her. "I'm so scrubbing them when I get home."

They were outside Seaview High now, Lilly waiting at the bottom for them, but Miley saw her dad drive up.

"Miles, I have to take you somewhere before tomorrow." Robby Ray said as they walked towards him.

"Oh, ok Daddy. Bye Oliver, see you Sunday then." Miley said, turning to him. Oliver nodded and then leaned in and kissed her cheek.

Always give you a peck on the cheek when you depart from each other's company-even when friends are watching.

"Uh, bye Miley." He said and turned around to walk towards a shocked Lilly. Miley had a huge smile on her face as she got into the car while Robby Ray looked confused.

xXxXx

"You so like her! Admit it Oliver!" Lilly said as the two of them walked home.

"Ok, fine. I do like Miley, as in more then a friend." He muttered. "But Miley doesn't like me that way."

"Then why haven't you given up on the list then?"

"Because… I don't know. Maybe she'll change her mind?"

"Oliver, Miley has always liked you, as a friend or something more. She hasn't said anything because she doesn't understand what you're doing. You're acting as if you're her boyfriend, yet you claim you're just friends, nothing more."

"Because I thought that's what she wanted!" He said and then groaned. "I've messed up, haven't I?"

"No, not yet. Because I, Lilly Truscott, know a way on how to fix this."

Oliver looked at her sceptically. "How?"

"I have a brilliant plan. Now first we have to beg Jackson to help us out."

"Whoa, I don't like where this is going. Why is Jackson involved?" Oliver asked and stopped walking. Lilly turned around to face him.

"Because he can drive, duh. How does a five hour car trip sound to you?"

xXxXx

"She left an hour ago, why couldn't I just go before they left?" Oliver asked from the backseat of Jackson's car. It was Saturday now, early in the morning and he, along with Lilly and Jackson, were on their way to the Hannah concert in San Francisco.

"Because it's on the list. You have to drive five hours to see her for one. And I've got everything else that you need, so just chill. This was our idea anyway." Lilly said.

"Yes, and I get dragged into this because you guys want to complete this stupid list." Jackson muttered.

"I'm surprised you agreed to this." Oliver commented.

"Well, why else was I spending the rest of the week with Rico? I now know how to force Jackson to do my dirty work." Lilly said, grinning evilly.

"You guys will be the death of me." Jackson said.

"Keep driving while we talk." Lilly said and turned around in her seat. "Ok Oken, you've got two other things to worry about once we arrive. We've got one sorted, how are you going to do the last one."

"Tell her how I feel."

"And if she rejects you?" Jackson asked, but then Lilly hit him. "Ow."

"I'll take rejection like a man…" He said and then looked at Lilly's grinning face. "What?"

"1, she's not going to reject you. And 2, you're not a man yet Oken." Lilly said as she sat forward in her seat again. Oliver just sighed and lay back on the backseat, closing his eyes. He didn't sleep that much the night before, worrying about the drive up.

'What's done is done. Now it's time to show Miley that there is a sweet guy.' He thought.

xXxXx

"Dad, everything ready?" Hannah asked.

"Yeah bud. Why are you suddenly so worried?"

"I'm not… well, I am, but it's not about the concert."

"What is it then?" Robby Ray asked as he sat down on the couch in her dressing room.

"Oliver. I can't stop thinking about him."

"Because of the kiss on the cheek yesterday?"

"No… well, yes, that's one of the things that's on my mind. But daddy, for the past week, I've had the best time of my life and it's because I was with him. He made me forget all about Jake and Mikayla."

"Miley, do you think you might like Oliver more then just being your guy bud?" Robby Ray asked, walking towards his daughter.

"Not you too! Dad, Lilly has been pestering me all week about admitting this."

"Well Miles, don't you think it's time you did? Oliver's a great guy and I can see he cares a great deal for you. And it seems like he's trying to prove to you he likes you more then what you are. I think maybe it time you did something for him."

"What are you talking about?" Miley asked, frowning.

"I've heard you kids talking, he stood up for you, took you out and showed you a sunset. He made you laugh and smile when you saw Jake with Mikayla and you even got that boy to sing! I guess, and I think Lilly is too, that he's showing you how much he really cares."

Miley stayed silent, letting what her dad said sink in. And truth was, he was right. But now it looked like it was Miley's turn to determine where all of that would lead their friendship too.

"But I know her! Just let us through!" They heard shouting coming from backstage and Miley recognized that voice.

"Lilly?"

"See! See! I'm Lilly, she knows me!" Lilly said to the security guard.

"I still need identification." He said.

"Hold up." Everyone turned to see Roxie coming towards them. "They have to have clearance from Roxie first." Roxie looked at the three teens trying to get in. "Lilly, Oliver, Jackson, what are you three doing here?"

"That's what I was going to ask." Miley said, looking at them.

"So they have clearance?" The other guard asked and Roxie nodded. He left the three teens in and Lilly ran up to Miley.

"Oh, we have tickets to come!" She said.

"Really?"

"No, but you're going to give two to Jackson and I."

"We're sold out."

"Can't you pull some strings to get us seats? I'm not dressed up as Lola, so I can't be backstage." Lilly said, looking down at her clothes.

"You look like you're ready to hit the mall." Miley said. Lilly looked up at her, a confused look on her face.

"What? I was going to go to skate park. But if you really want to get rid of me…"

"Lilly." Miley said in a warning tone before turning to the boys. "Could someone explain why you came here?"

"I was forced to drive the two of them here." Jackson said and pushed Oliver forwards. He then turned to Lilly. "And my lawyers will be contacting you."

"For what? Jackson, it's not like I kidnapped you!" Lilly shouted at him as he began to walk away.

"You claimed you would if I didn't drive you! And you hit me, that's assault and you can be sued!" He shouted back at her and then turned around to see Lilly running at him. Jackson let out a scream before he started running away from her.

"Ok, that leaves you Oliver." Miley said, turning to him.

"I-I… I just wanted to see your concert." He said, smiling.

"Oliver, you've been to every Hannah concert, as Mike. Why are you here as Oliver?" Miley asked.

"Uh… I better go find Lilly!" He said and started to run away, but stopped and turned around. "You'll find out after your concert later."

"Oliver!" Miley shouted, but he was gone.

"Mile, you've got to do a sound check and then get changed." Robby Ray said as he joined her backstage. Miley sighed and followed him, trying to figure out why the three of them were there.

xXxXx

"Say you didn't mean it!"

"I didn't mean it!"

"Good." Lilly said releasing Jackson's head out of the headlock she had him in. The two were outside the stadium where the Hannah concert was taking place.

"Do you actually think Oliver is going to finish the list? He looked pretty depressed in the car." Jackson said as he rubbed his neck.

"He better, or I will hurt him badly." Lilly muttered, leaning on Jackson's car. She then saw a figure walking towards them, his head hung down.

"Here he comes now. I don't think he's spent an hour with Miley yet." Jackson said before moving away from Lilly who sent him a glare.

"I hate my life, I hate my life, I hate my life, I hate my life." She heard Oliver mutter as he came walking over to them before stopping in front of them. "I can't do it, I can't do this romantic dinner if you don't tell me what it is!"

"Oh, for crying out loud. Oliver, the dinner has been planned by yours truly, along with his help." Lilly said and then pointed to Jackson. "Now you go back inside there and spend time with her for an hour before we drive back home."

"Lilly… I'll do it after the concert!" Oliver complained. Lilly gave him a death glare. "Ok, I'll do it now."

"Good for you. Now could you please hurry up and use your hour so I can get home?" Jackson asked.

"Ok, an hour of just Miley and me. Not that hard." Oliver said to himself as he started walking back towards the stadium.

"Go get her Oliver!" Lilly shouted out to him before she got into the car. Jackson looked at her with a questioning look and she just shrugged. "Miley was right, I'm dressed for the mall."

xXxXx

"Ok, testing, one, two three." Miley said into her headset. She looked into the wings and saw her dad give her the thumbs up. "Working?"

"Yep." Robby Ray said as he walked onto the stage. "We've just got the lightning to fix and we should be ready. You have about two hours to kill before the concert starts."

"Ok, but first, I have to take this off." Miley said and took the headset off and the box it was connected to. She handed it over to her father and then started towards her changing room. She was still trying to figure out why Lilly, Oliver and Jackson where there, when she spotted Oliver standing near her changing room door.

"Are you going to tell me why you're here?" Miley asked as she walked towards him.

"I wanted to see you."

"You drove for five hours to see me, when you saw me the whole week?" Miley opened the door to her changing room and the two walked in.

Drive 5 hours just to see you for 1.

"Yeah, but I'm only around for one or else Jackson will kill me." Oliver said shrugging. Miley smiled and took her Hannah wig off, letting her own brown hair out.

"I've got two hours to kill, I'm sure we can hang out as just Miley and Oliver."

"Ok… where do we go?"

xXxXx

"There they are!" Lilly said from the coffee shop. "Aww, they came to the mall, isn't that sweet?"

"Yeah." Jackson said as he then continued drinking his milkshake. Lilly rolled her eyes at him and continued watching the two as Miley dragged Oliver into the first clothing shop. "I feel sorry for him."

"Why?"

"Miley and him in a clothing shop, he's going to carry all the clothes she wants to try on." Jackson said as he placed his glass down on the table.

"Hey, I'd do the same." Lilly said as she finished her soda.

"Yeah, but you'd make the guy carry the shoes, not the clothes."

"True." Lilly nodded in agreement. "But it's so sweet what Oliver is doing. I mean, who'd have thought that finding a stupid list on as an email could lead to all of this. I wish a guy would do that for me."

"What, you want all guys to be like Oliver?" Jackson asked, confused. Lilly laughed, but shook her head.

"No, I just wish a guy would do something sweet for me. Miley told me that when I was going out with Lucas, she accused Oliver of having boy brains and he read his mom's magazine's."

"Oken is a weird guy." Jackson said, shaking his head as the waitress put down the bill. Lilly started searching her pockets for money, but Jackson shook his head and showed her his wallet. "I'll pay."

"You sure?"

"Yep. See, there, done." He said as he put the money down and the waitress took it away.

"That was sweet of you." Lilly said, giving him a smile. She then looked back at the clothing shop and saw Miley and Oliver coming out, laughing. And Miley had just grabbed Oliver's hand.

"Looks like those two don't need me to interfere just yet. Thirty minutes left Oken, how will you use them?" Lilly said, putting her head on her hands as she watched the two walk off.

xXxXx

"You see Oliver? Shopping isn't that bad." Miley said, smiling at him.

"That's because I managed to persuade you into not buying anything." He said, grinning at her.

"Ah, but what about this store?" Miley tried to pull him towards a different store, but didn't get far as he pulled her back. She looked back at him and his gaze was on their entwined hands. "Oliver?"

"Yeah?" he asked looking up. Miley tugged him again and he saw the store she wanted to go in and bluntly refused.

"Miley, we don't have a lot of time left. Let's go somewhere else."

"Oh come on, I'm not going to buy anything there!"

"But you're going to try something on and I'll be left with carrying it around."

"Oliver…" Miley then gave him her sad face, but Oliver let go of her hand and turned his back to her, all the time smiling.

"You're messing around with me!" Miley said, walking around to face him. "Ok, fine, I won't go into anymore clothing shops. We'll just walk and talk."

"Ok." Oliver said. Miley then grabbed his hand again and the two started walking back in the direction of the coffee shop where Lilly and Jackson were.

"Ok, I want to ask you a question. What was the real reason behind you, Lilly and Jackson coming here? You wanting to spend time with me can't be the real reason all three of you came here."

"The real reason?" Oliver asked. He tried to come up with something, anything that could explain Lilly and Jackson being here with him. "I… uh…"

"You two, it's a fifteen minute drive back to the stadium." Lilly said, running up to them. "And we have to leave soon Oliver. We'll give you a life Miley."

"Oh, ok." Miley said, looking at Oliver.

"I'll tell you in the car." He said. Lilly gave him a confused look as the three of them left the mall and saw Jackson driving towards them from the parking lot.

"Tell her what?" Lilly asked him.

"About what you-know-what." He said and Lilly's eyes went wide. When Jackson's car pulled up in front of them, Lilly got in the front seat, leaving Miley and Oliver to sit in the back.

"Ok, now tell me everything." She said.

"Alright, you know that list Lilly got as an email last week, things a sweet guy would do?" Miley nodded. "I stole the list."

Miley frowned. "The printed out copy?" Oliver nodded and Miley's eyes went wide. "You used it on me, didn't you?"

"Uh, yeah, pretty much."

"But why? Oliver… do you like me?" Oliver was silent for a while, looking down at his hands. Lilly turned around in her seat to see why they were so quiet.

Finally, Oliver looked up and looked at Miley. "Yeah, I do and I thought that this was the only way I could show to you how I felt, since I was too chicken to actually admit it to anyone."

"That's right, it took till I figured out what he was doing for him to admit it out loud." Lilly added in.

"You two knew about this too?"

"Yeah, how else would Oliver be able to drive five hours and only see you for one." Lilly said. "And that's why I was hanging out with Rico, so I could find methods on how to get Jackson to do my dirty work."

"And I repeat, my lawyers will be in touch." Jackson piped up while Lilly rolled her eyes. "So Mile, what do you say? Do you like Ollie over here, or is it just a one-sided thing?"

"I-I…" Miley looked at Lilly and then at Oliver. "I… uh…"

"We're here." Jackson said as he pulled up in front of the stadium. He then turned around to look at the three of them. "Oh, did I interrupt something?"

"Uh, yeah." Lilly said and then turned to look at Miley.

"I don't know." She said before she got out of the car and ran back inside the stadium.

"Thank you Lilly, I've just gone and blew my friendship with the most gorgeous girl in the world."

"Wow dude, that's deep." Jackson said, but Lilly rolled her eyes.

"What will it take to shut you up?"

"Tell me we're going home and you've got yourself a deal."

"Fine, we're going home." Lilly then turned to Oliver. "Hey, you don't know that. She might forget about this and go back to being your friend… eventually."

"Thanks for all the help and support Lilly." Oliver said sarcastically, but by the look on her face, it seemed Lilly didn't know he was being sarcastic.

xXxXx

"Hannah, you're on in ten." The stage manager said as he opened her dressing room.

"Ok, thanks." Miley said and smiled as he closed the door. The smile then faded and she looked down at the photo in her hands. It was of her, Oliver and Lilly, back when they were younger. Back before the two even found out she was Hannah Montana.

"Times were less complicated then." Miley said softly and then sighed. She looked at younger Oliver and smiled slightly, he had changed over the years. He wasn't as goofy as he used to be and he was sweet…

"No, come on. I can't be falling for Oliver. It's… Oliver." Miley said and then put the photo down. She started pacing the room. "It's Oliver Oken, my best guy friend. I don't like him like that… I don't like him like that… Oh, who am I kidding? I fell for him that day he took me to the pier."

But she had ruined it when she ran out of the car. How could she tell him now that she changed her mind? 'Maybe Hannah can help me.' Miley thought as she left her dressing room.

Sorry for the randomness and the poor chapter, I'm still not in my right mind. I'm freaking out because I go back to school and I haven't done my projects... even though they are all for May. Sigh. So I've gotta go do that now.
