I dunno, nothing seems to be going along right. I decided to re-think the story. I'm thinking about starting up a Liley story along these lines. Maybe, maybe not. Possibly steal a few quotes from here. Anyway, I hope this new thought that I'm goin' for could make up for this stuff, yo.

Chapter 5

Mitchie's POV

Why do I torture myself?

That's the only question that goes through my head. I contemplate and search my brain for answers and only one stands out from the rest of the haze in my mind. Through the complete foolishness that convinced me to ever say yes to her.

Because I love her.

And because having her in just a pretend way is better than not having her at all. Lately I've been wondering if Mikayla was even worth this.

Oh please, freaking Helen Keller could tell that I was in love with this girl.

Her laugh rings in my ears. It's fake, obviously implying that she wanted to get the brunette's attention, who was currently hugging her blonde best friend by the bathroom near Rico's shack.

In an instant, I attempt to get the girl on my lap to shut up by placing my hand over her mouth. Lilly was finally going to tell Miley today about her feelings and from the look on the skater's annoyed (yet relieved) facial expression, Mikayla interrupted it.

Just like how I'm interrupting her now. Moisture and a slick, rough tongue swipes on my palm lazily. I inwardly groan at the sheer pleasure but disgust coming from the motion.

"Sorry, 'kayla. You're gonna have to try harder than that. Remember, I have Dallas and Madison as sisters."

Instantly a sharp pain erupts from my palm and it flies from the popstar's mouth, revealing her smirk.

I grimace at the indent of her teeth being surrounded by red.

"Really, Mikayla?! Really? You bite me?" Shock is still obvious in my voice. Looking into her eyes I notice they show fake cheeriness and are ordering for me to get into character before I hear two husky chuckles behind me.

Startled, I turn around to face the two best friends.

"Nice one," the skater speaks up. "I always considered Mitchie the biter from how she always growls on stage but hey, I guess she must have rubbed off on you, huh, Mikayla?"

I blush from the comment and how much more awkward Lilly made this conversation. Mikayla seemed to have skipped the glaring and started straight to ogling the southerner right in front of us.

There's that feeling again. The one of complete and total jealousy rushing and ripping at every atom in my body along with guilt for being so immature. Hurt is laced in for agreeing with Mikayla's situation even though I knew what was in store. But it's not my fault if I can't help it.

It's the puppy dog pout. I just can't resist her.

Even if it means I get hurt in the process.

Without even knowing it the over-riding pain in my body for my unrequited love takes over and before I can get too deep two tan hands are clapping straight in front of my face.

"Whoa there, Miles. No need to make me deaf right now," I joke. The southerner just rolls her eyes.

"Oh please, you can do that to yourself with how loud you blast your headphones, Ms. Torres. So don't blame your future problems on me."

"Rawr, feisty." We all give a laugh as I make clawing motions. I always did love this playful banter of ours.

"So the gang is meeting us here for a water gun fight/war type of thing. You guys up for it? The Gray brothers are bring all the equipment." I look to Mikayla for her answer. She shrugs.

"Sure, why not?" she answers. Lilly and I pump our fists.

"Score!" We shout simultaneously. The skater soon adds on, "I call Mitchie!"

"What?! But Mitchie is totally awesome at this kind of stuff. No fair!" Miley intervenes on our happy dances. Mikayla just stares at Miley.

Lilly blows a raspberry.

"Oh no you did'nt," the brunette acts offended.

"Oh yes I di-id," the skater retorts with a little index finger wave. I giggle because they are just so cute.

"Ladies, ladies, please," I make my way in between them. "There's enough Mitchie for all of you but as of now Lilly did call me first so you're goin' down losers!" Lilly and I run off leaving behind the shocked popstars.

God, I love my friends.

**************************************

Nobody's POV

Nate, Shane, Jason, Tess and Caitlyn joined everybody about five minutes later. The group of nine teenagers formed a circle around a table with all the supplies.

"So how's this going to work out?" Nate asked curiously. "We doing shirts versus skins again?"

"Sure, you guys be shirts and Lilly and I can be skins," Mitchie suggests.

"What?" Caitlyn gives a look. "But that's totally outnumbering you guys."

"Oh please, we can handle it. I mean, have you seen us at this stuff before? Not to brag but we're a pretty amazing team here, Music Producer," Lilly speaks up. "Pound it!" The skater and Mitchie both make fists and hit them knuckle to knuckle.

"Yeah, it just shows how childish you guys are!" Miley exclaims jokingly. Lilly just sticks out her tongue. "You poke that thing out at me again and I'll have to take care of that."

"I bet you would," Tess not so whispers. Caitlyn just elbows her in the stomach which causes her to erupts in coughs.

"What was that, Tess?" Miley asks in a deep southern drawl, which everyone knew meant that she was nervous. "Dude, you okay?" Worry is etched across her face.

"Nothing, nothing. Let's just get this game started that way I can get back at Little Miss Subtle over here," the blonde girl says with a mischievous gleam in her eyes.

"Down girl," Jason jokes.

"Two nicknames in less than two minutes. Man, I must be popular or something," Caitlyn sarcastically remarks which causes everyone to chuckle. "So we going to start this thing or not? Start strippin' girls because you're goin' down!"

"Funny, you said that last time and who won again there, Lilly?" Mitchie asks with such innocence and fakeness you'd think she was up to something.

"Oh, I'd that'd be us, Mitchie," Lilly's face is beaming with a smile that reaches her eyes. A rarity.

With that, the brunette and blonde tomboys start to take off their shirts from the bottom up, unaware of the lustful glances from the two brunette popstars across from them. Both of which, were very unaware of their actions.

"Wow, Mitchie looks so sexy with her shirt off. The tan is perfect and her black bikini just works on her. Her body is banging and SNAP OUT OF IT,MIKAYLA! Mitchie is your best friend and your fake girlfriend. Nothing more, nothing less."

"Whoa, since when did Lilly have curves? Better yet, when did she start wearing bikinis? Wow, I've never noticed the way her eyes shine like that in the sunlight. I could just…drown in them and I don't know what I'm saying! Snap out of it, Stewart. Lilly would never look at you like that and besides, you're just admiring her. Psh, honestly, I mean, it's not like you'll fall in love with her."

"Miley!" Shane shouts into the brunette's ear. The southerner was so caught up in her thoughts she didn't notice everyone was trying to get a hold of her.

"Whoa, wha-what? Hmm?"

"We're going over the rules. It's Lilly and Mitchie versus the rest of us. We're going to give them a one minute head start before we go after them in groups. You and Mikayla are a group. Tess and Caitlyn are another and then the guys are going to go separate. Here's a walkie talkie," Nate explains seriously, his eyes are wild like on a mission. Jason hands Mikayla the walkie talkie.

"And then all of you will be crawling home, complaining about how bad you guys lost. Losers buy lunch!" Mitchie shouts before grabbing Lilly's hand and sprinting into the mass of trees behind Rico's.

"Look at her run in those cute board shorts. That's so…..stopping now! No more dirty thoughts, Mikayla."

Miley was thinking along the very same lines.

"BUT THAT WASN'T…apart of the deal," Tess starts shouting before she stops knowing it's too late. "Now listen here, guys, we have got to win this. There is no way that I am buying them lunch. You know how both of them get when they're starving."

Everyone laughs. The blonde is right.

"There is no way I'm going to let Mitchie win this one again. Bring it on!" Mikayla shouts in a sort of battle cry that hyped up everyone's spirits. Soon they're all doing a cheer with their hands in the middle.

*****************************************

"Danger to Smokin' Legs, Danger to Smokin' Legs. Come in Smokin' Legs," Shane's voice practically rings out through the walkie talkie on Mikayla's hip causing the two brunette popstars to jump.

It was only the three of them to Mitchie and Lilly who were obviously dominating the rest of the group.

"Smokin' Legs to Danger. We are go. Double T have yet to be spotted. Any luck where you're standing?" Mikayla asks, grabbing the small device. Miley was right behind her, crouching in the bushes near Miley's house.

"Negative, they are some sneak gi-" the line went suddenly silent, giving off an eerie ambience. It was actually quite frightening the two brunettes.

"Danger? Danger are you there?" Miley practically shrieks into the device.

"I think I heard something, guys," he whispers in a shrilly voice. "I don't like this anymore." He gives a girly shriek followed by shouts of "No please!" "Ohmygod!" and the classical high pitched "MOMMY!"

Soon static takes over the communication device.

"Oh no, we lost him!" Miley shouts, grabbing the walkie out of Mikayla's hands. "DANGER DO YOU READ ME? DANGER?!"

There's a clicking noise signaling that someone on the other line. The two popstars give a sigh but it soon dissipates when they hear the voice that definitely did not belong to Shane.

It's Mitchie's.

She's fake panting like criminals in a movie before they deliver a terrifying message. Her message causes the two girls hiding by Miley's house to earn the biggest goose bumps they've ever experienced.

"You're next."

A twig breaks behind them and Mikayla jumps into Miley's arms as they turn around, screaming their heads off.

No one's there.

"I don't wanna die. I don't wanna die. I don't wanna die," Miey repeats into Mikayla's shoulder.

"Then I suggest running," Lilly's deep husky voice speaks slowly behind them. The two turn around. A dry Lilly with a few leaves sticking out of her hair was standing there.

"Who-who's going to chase us? Just you?" Mikayla attempts to sound brave, jumping out of Miley's arms, much to the southerner's relief.

"No," another voice behind them, causing them once again to turn around. Mitchie was there, her water gun ready with a few water balloons on her belt of board shorts. "I believe I can be of some assistance."

No doubt, Miley and Mikayla were pretty terrified. They turn around to Lilly again but instead of being right across the yard like she was before, she was then face to face with Miley. Both were panting heavily.

Only one word left Lilly's mouth.

"Boo."

Miley and Mikayla both screamed and started running to the beach again. It was just so cinematic and classical but all original.

The two skin players were chasing after their prey. They kept running down the hill and down to Rico's. The rest of the gang was there, all of who were soaking wet. Caitlyn and Tess were making out on one of tables. The Gray brothers were laughing at the situation playing out before them. It was going to have quite the ending.

Miley and Mikayla soon split up after the chase. Miley ran into the trees, whereas Lilly followed her screaming how she was going to get her. Mikayla went all the way down to the beach with Mitchie hot on her heels because she was more in shape.

Once the rockstar was in reach, she tackled the slightly taller brunette to the ground causing her to lose her gun. They were near the docks and very close to the waves of the beach.

Mitchie turned the girl over so she was facing her. Mikayla's struggling lessened as she looked up into her best friend's eyes. The sun was just hitting the girl above her just right, causing her to look like a complete angel. The popstar felt like she couldn't breathe.

Before she knew it the girl was in reach, whispering in her ear.

"Come on, Mikayla, you're not going to give up that easily now, are you?" Mitchie's voice is cheerful. "Is that all you got?"

"Believe me, Mitch, that's not all I got," Mikayla responds with a smirk.

"Oh really now? I think I'd like to see you get out of this one," Humor was without a doubt evident in the rockstar's voice.

Nate, Jason, Tess, Shane and Caitlyn were all cheering for Mikayla to get up. There was no way they were buying lunch.

"You asked for it," the Latina popstar says before kissing the girl above her on the side of the mouth. Ignoring the sparks from the brief contact, Mikayla then flips the two over and starts to army crawl rather quickly to her water gun which was about five feet away.

Mitchie, slightly delayed and shocked from Mikayla's previous actions, quickly gets up. Mikayla spins around and pulls the trigger at the same time. It was perfect aim and it felt like it was going in slow motion.

The rest of the gang was cheering along the sidelines. Mikayla had a smirk on and Mitchie, a look of shock. But out of nowhere a blonde caused quite the disturbance to the movie moment.

Lilly was running full speed between the two girls. She was going to be too late so she dove in front of Mitchie who was about to duck from the water. Instead, Lilly intercepted the liquid on her chest as she overdramatically flew through the air. The skater lets out an overexaggerated grunt as she hits the sand.

Mitchie, then being knocked out of her stupor, quickly squirts water at Mikayla who was still examining Lilly. The rest of the gang groans, an overly soaked Miley among them.

"Mitch," the blonde skater rasps, still lying down. Everyone grows quiet at the scene about to play in front of them. Whenever the two tomboys won, they always did a scene.

"Lils," Mitchie fake sobs before making her way over to the 'injured' blonde, kneeling down by her.

"I tried, Mitch," Lilly lets out a fake coughing fit. "I really did. I'm sorry I couldn't make it."

Mitchie draws fake tears to her eyes.

"Don't say that, babe. We can make it through this. You just gotta be strong." Miley, Tess and Caitlyn start to snicker.

"Where's the popcorn when you need it?" Jason asks out of nowhere.

"Shh!" Everyone shouts but Mitchie and Lilly.

"I love you, Mitchie Torres," Lilly rasps before letting out a large exhale. "Always. Know that I will always love you."

"I know you do, Lilly. I know you do," Now 'tears' are really running down Mitchie's face.

"Just grant my one last request, Mitchie."

"Anything," the reply comes in a heartbeat.

"One last kiss before I go so that way I can die happy."

The Gray brothers, Caitlyn and Tess all give a loud and simultaneous, "Aww!" at the request as Mitchie nods her head. Miley and Mikayla just stand up from where they are and get close to the girls.

Slowly they start to lean in. They stop about a centimeter away. Everyone knew they wouldn't really kiss. Well, almost everyone.

Soon two lines of aqua are being sprayed on them by Miley and Mikayla's water guns.

"Hey!" Jason shouts. "You ruined the big moment!"

"Psh, not with my girlfriend," Mikayla states with such possessiveness that Mitchie and Lilly practically get whiplash.

"Whoa, did she actually sound jealous to you, Mitchie?" Lilly whispers into the girl's ear. Before she can even pull away her back is being sprayed once again by the brunette.

"No secrets!" Mikayla shouts.

"I'd take that as a 'yes'" Mitchie whispers into Lilly's ear. She too is sprayed quickly.

"Yeah, because secrets don't make friends, guys!" Miley says, also witch a large amount of jealousy, glaring at Mitchie. The two girls just leave it alone.

"Good show, good show," The group claps.

"So who's ready to buy us lunch?" Lilly and Mitchie ask at the same time. Turning their heads, they share and look and burst into giggles as they slowly help themselves up out of the sand.

Linking hands, they walk with the rest to their vehicles.

Miley and Mikayla stand behind the rest, walking slowly. One thought only runs through their head. One thought that brings what feels like the whole weight of the world on their shoulders.

"What just happened back there? Better yet, what was that entire thing that happened today?"

**********************************

Alright, so tell me all that you think. Was it terrible? Was it weird? Was it too teenager-y?

I actually kind of giggled a few times right this chapter because of the water fight. I dunno, there's just something about childhood fun that makes me laugh.

Anyway, reviews are love.
