Talk Show

"Hey honey! How was school?" Ms. Dalton asked her daughter. "It was good, I met some new friends."

"Wonderful! I've invited the neighbors over for dinner tonight. We're eating at five thirty. Then we have to be at the studio at 9!" Aly ran upstairs and took her shoes off.

Karina's cell phone rang. It was Hannah. "Hello?"

"Karina! How are you? It's Hannah."

"Hey Hannah, I'm good, what about you?"

"I'm great, just my dad's in negotiations over doing a concert in Charlotte, NC next month and just wanted to know if you wanted to do it too?" Hannah asked. 'OMG? Is Hannah Montana asking me, Karina to do a concert with her?!' Aly thought to herself.

"Sounds great! I uh, just have to ask my mom. Can I call you back in a few minutes?"

"Uh, well, we're about to go out dinner. But how about you let me know tonight at Colin's?"

"Sure! See you then."

"Bye"

"Bye."

"MOM!" Aly yelled and ran down the stairs. "What? Are you okay?" Ms. Dalton asked. "Yeah I'm fine, Hannah wants to do a concert with Karina in NC next month!"

"Honey that's great! You can do it if you want to."

"Thanks!! I'll tell her tonight!" Aly clapped and gave her mom a hug. The doorbell rang. "That must be the neighbors! Please get the door. Be nice!" Ms. Dalton yelled after Aly as she went to the door.

She opened the door to see a man, Miley and Jackson at her door. "Miley! Jackson! You're our neighbors?" Aly blurted out.

"Aly!" Miley burst past the man and tackled Aly in a hug. Ms. Dalton came to the door. "Robbie! Sorry! I was finishing dinner. " she said.

"This is my daughter Miley, attached to your daughter, and this is Jackson." Said Robbie. "Well, This is my daughter Alyssa, attached to your daughter Miley" They laughed.

"Aly, this is Mr. Stewart." Her mom said. "You can call me Robbie Ray. Jackson, Miles, this is Ms. Dalton."

"You can call me Ms. Renee." she smiled.

At the dinner table Robbie Ray and Renee were talking, and talking, and talking. "Do they EVER stop?" Miley leaned over to Aly and they giggled.

Everyone had finished eating and the parents were still talking. Miley looked at the clock, and it was eight o'clock. "Excuse me, Daddy, Its 8 o'clock." Aly heard her and thought, 'Oh, good, we have to leave anyway.' "Oh, well, dinner was lovely Renee, but Miley has a tennis lesson tonight. Maybe tomorrow you could join us for dinner?" Robbie asked.

"Sounds wonderful!"

They left and Aly ran upstairs to get ready to be Karina.

Miley walked in her front door and ran upstairs to get ready to be Hannah. Lola walked in her room. "Hey Lilly!" she said pulling on her pants. "Hey Miles. So, what do you think of Aly?"

"She's cool, I had dinner at her house." Miley said putting her wig on. "Really? She didn't invite me?!" Lilly looked sad. "Relax Lils, she lives next door and her mom invited the family when she met my dad."

"Oh, okay, I knew she couldn't like you better!" Lilly smiled and stuck her tongue out. Miley returned the gesture.

Miley, Lilly and Oliver arrived as Hannah, Lola and Mike to the TV studio. "Hey Hannah!" Karina saw her and waved. Hannah went over and gave her a hug. "Oh! Karina, these are my friends Mike and Lola."

"Hey!" said Lola

"Yo." Said Mike.

"Hello! You look kind of familiar. Have I ever met you before?" Karina said.

"I was there at Hannah's concert last night." Lola said. "Oh, must be it."

"Hannah!"

"Colin!" Colin Lasseter came over and shook Hannah's hand. "You must be Karina!" he came over and shook her hand. "Yes Sir, It's nice to meet you."

"Me, It's you that's the hot new topic! We go on in 3 minutes!" he walked off, and Karina and Hannah went into make up.

"Tonight on the show we have Hannah Montana and Karina!" Colin announced, and they walked on and sat down. "Hannah Montana! You've sold millions of CDS and every concert you book sells out! How does it feel?"

"Well, I guess I just have to thank all of my fans and work hard!"

"Wonderful, and Karina. Your first CD debuted at number one on the charts and your concerts are selling out almost as fast as Hannah's! How so YOU feel?"

"Well, like Hannah I have to thank my fans and work hard. It feels great, and I just love making music." Karina replied. "Wow. Two wonderful young ladies. You both did a concert together last night and it was a hit! Do you plan on working together in the future?"

"Well, we're working on it and hope to do it again soon." Hannah answered.

"Great! Well, it was great having you ladies on the show tonight. Hannah Montana and Karina everyone!" The girls got up, shook his hand, and walked off set.

"Hannah! I asked my mom, and she said I can do the concert in North Carolina." She said. "Awesome!" Hannah said as her dad walked up. "Hey! Karina can do the concert!" she said. "Great! It should be fun."

"Hey, do I know you from somewhere?" Karina asked.

"No, I don't think so." He said. "Hannah, we've got to go." He said.

"Okay. Bye Karina!"

"Bye Hannah!"
