Two weeks later Miley's performances over the weekend had gone flawlessly and the girls were standing out of the sun roof in a limo in London being taken on a private sight seeing tour of the U.K's capital. They went past the Tower of London and Buckingham Palace and Marble Arch back to the hotel they were staying at, it having been decided that now Miley was 18 and Lilly was now celebrating her 18th they could share a room on a separate floor to their respective parents. This birthday had been better than Lilly could have dreamed of having had an incredible dinner at Gordon Ramsay's restaurant (having got a last minute reservation after Miley as Hannah had met his kids and sang them a few songs) and seeing Mamma Mia! on the West End and she enjoyed every second of it. For her birthday Miley had got her a beautiful necklace and had made her a silly friendship bracelet and bought her a giant birthday card which came with a huge badge saying 18 Today! Which had been pinned to her top all day.

Arriving back at the hotel they spied their parents sitting in the bar and went over, Lilly's mother wishing her a happy birthday again before her and Miley's father decided to call it a night and retire to their rooms. After they had left Lilly and Miley ordered a coke each and sat down at the bar, debating whether or not to go back to their room and watch a movie. The barmaid brought them their drinks.

"Happy Birthday" She said to Lilly smiling, pointing to the badge.

"Thank you" She said back, taking a sip of her coke.

"You sure I can't get you something stronger? Seeing as it's your special day?" She smiled.

"What?" asked Lilly slightly innocently. Miley and Lilly just looked at each other

"Hold on a second" said the barmaid, walking to the end of the bar and dialling the front desk, "What room are you in?" She asked politely, holding the phone to her ear while it was ringing.

"12" they replied and the barmaid had a hushed conversation on the phone.

"Well the front desk confirmed you're both over 18 so can I get you a real drink?"

"Yeah we'd love one but were still underage?" Miley said looking confused.

The barmaid smiled at them both. They weren't the first young American tourists she'd dealt with."Yeah you're under-age in the States. Here you have to be 18." Both girls faces lit up and they turned to each other grinning. "We'll have a bottle of Champagne then please" Lilly asked pleasantly, Miley looked shocked as the barmaid went to get the bottle, leaning into Lilly she whispered "Bottle?! What's wrong with a glass!"

Lilly just laughed. "Jeez live a little Miles!" The glasses were brought and the barmaid poured the champagne. "I'm Jasmine by the way, anything you need you just let me know okay." She said sweetly before leaving to serve another customer that had just come in.

Miley and Lilly looked at the bubbling galsses in front of them slightly nervously, neither of them having had much more than a glass of sparkling cider before, before Lilly picked hers up and holding it up to Miley said, "Cheers" , Miley picking up her glass as well, "Cheers" she repeated before they clinked their glasses together and took a sip.

An hour later the bottle was gone and the girls had moved on to trying different drinks, Lilly was drinking malibu and coke and Miley had a beer. Both were feeling pretty merry now.

"hey le'me try some o' that" slurred miley picking up Lilly's glass and taking a gulp. "Not bad" she decreed as she put the drink back down in front of her friend.

"alright then, gimme some of your beer" said Lilly, at which Miley handed the bottle over and she took a sip. Making a slight face.

"Not so good is it" joked Miley, now finding her friends face hysterical. "I'm sure it gets better." Said Lilly, bravely taking another swig from the bottle. The face she made this time was worse and Miley burst out laughing loud enough for someone nearby to turn around and look at them. Miley covered her mouth with her hand, trying to calm herself down.

"I really have to pee" said Lilly before she stood up, wobbled slightly before regaining her balance, and headed to the ladies room. Miley managed to finish her beer and ordered some wine from Jasmine, one glass of red and one white. Lilley came back a few moments later, seeming to struggle to walk a little more than she had on the way there. "You ok lils?" Miley asked, fighting the urge to laugh at her friend. "Yeah i'm good. oooh wine" she said as she saw the glasses and picked up the white, drinking half the glass in one go and then switching it round with Miley's red laughing."Man this is absolutely the best birthday ever." said Lilly now drinking the red as Miley downed the rest of the white." "Yeah we should totally come to London more often" Said Miley, her accent becoming thicker the more she drank., her hand shaking a little as she put the glass down. "Oh I know what we have to try!" Miley exclaimed as if some great revelation had struck her. "Vodka" she said smiling and nodding her head, they both laughed. "Jasmine!" Lilly called. "Vodka please"

"Sure guys what do you want it with?" She asked. "Uh whatever you think is best" Miley answered for them. "Ok well since you seem to be in the mood for trying different things tonight, how bout one with orange juice and one with Red Bull?" "Oh that sounds good" slurred lilly a little before leaning on the bar for support. "Well okay but then I'm afraid the bar's closing for the night" "Oh" the girls moaned together childishly. "I know but you said you're in room 12 right. There should be a mini bar in there." The girls then beamed at each other before finishing their drinks and giving Jasmine a generous tip and half ran half stumbled to their room, laughing all the way there.
