We don't own Hannah Montana.

Miley was mumbling to herself while changing the channels on the TV. "Good for nothing, why didn't he, I can't believe.."

Why hadn't Oliver come to meet her at her house? It was 45 minutes from when he was supposed to be here. Meanwhile, Roxy was looking over Miley's shoulders as she changed the channels. With every click of the remote, Roxy spoke up, determined to keep Miley from the "bad TV."

"No. No. Nada. Nope. NO WAY! Okay, this looks fine."

Miley looked up at Roxie in disbelief. "Roxie, this is for 3 year olds."

"Exactly, there's no way that your daddy can bust me for letting you watch this."

Dolly, coming into the room, said "Where is Robby Ray anyway? He said he would call if he wasn't coming home tonight."

"Maybe he's busy." Miley suggested as she began to flip through the channels again.

"Oh! Oh! Stop here! I've gotta see my soaps."

"You watch soap operas?"

"Yep."

"Roxy, of all the weird things I've known about you this is…."

But Miley's voice trailed off as she gasped at what was on the TV screen.

The announcer, who couldn't care less, said "And in other news, Jake Ryan was reported missing. He never showed up on the set to Romania for his new movie. It appears that he disappeared on the flight over to Romania."

Miley dropped the remote, her eyes open in shock and horror. "Jake…" she whispered.

Dolly instantly went over to Miley and wrapped her arms around the brunette, hugging her. Even Roxy looked concerned for Miley, who was close to tears.

"Maybe you should call that blonde friend that you hang out with. She could help you." She suggested.

Dolly nodded, the first time that night that she had agreed with Roxy. "Lily will be able to help you. She can sleep over."

Miley shook her head, sniffling. "She got a free vacation at a skate park."

"Well, what about that shrimp that keeps getting himself thrown over the ledge?"

"At school he told me he was going to just relax on the beach and watch the stars, but I called him and he said he would be here 45 minutes ago, but he's not here yet."

Roxy jumped up and barked to Dolly to watch Miley and ran outside. A few minutes later, Roxy ran back in, panting and looking panicked.

"We have to get you away from here!"

"Why? What's wrong?" Dolly stood up and began to pace around.

"I couldn't find the shrimp along the beach, I looked everywhere. Strange…. Miley don't you see? Oliver disappearing, Lily winning a contest, everybody's disappearing! Everyone that you care about has all of a sudden gone missing in the past 2 days! And I found this on the beach."

Roxie held between her fingers a tranquilizer dart.

"Jackson?" Dolly asked with a slight quiver to her voice. "He's safe, right? I mean, he's on a date."

"Oh, that wasn't no date. Jackson got setup. I told you girls don't like sissy boys. Roxy knows!"

Miley stood up so suddenly that everyone looked at her. She held up her hands. "All right, let's go. We need to find dad and tell him what is going on….."

Her voice trailed off realization, and then it hit her like a cement brick.

"Oh no. The conference. It was a trap, wasn't it?"

She was greeted with an awkward silence and when nobody answered her, she sat down and began to sob. Dolly began to get a suitcase and Roxy sat down with Miley, unsure of what she was going to say to her.

"Listen, we've got to get you away from here. We'll find a little place in another country and…"

"NO!" Miley screamed this loudly, so that even Dolly, who was attempting to fit 20 cases of make-up into a bag, looked up.

"No, no way!" Miley repeated. "I'm not leaving them. I don't know why they're all gone, but I can't just abandon them. I need to find them."

"Miley, there is nothing you can do anymore. Either they were taken because somebody wants something from you, or they want to take you too. I'm your body guard, and your dad left me in charge of you."

Dolly walked forward. "And is anyone remembering me? I was also left in charge of Miley. But this time, I agree with Roxy. C'mon Miley, we need to go pack your things." She grabbed Miley and lead her off to the Hannah closet.

"Okay, sweetie, now where's a window?"

"Huh?"

"Well, if we're going to go after your friends, then we need to get away from her."

"But I thought-"

"Listen, I know how it feels to be all alone sometimes, and I won't let you be separated from your family like this. After a while you begin to die on the inside. It's happened to lots of people." Aunt Dolly said while going back into Miley's regular room and opening a window.

"Thanks." Miley said, feeling tears come to her eyes again.

Aunt Dolly waved a hand to show that it was okay. "Don't get all touchy feely on me. Now I've got an address on where your dad was going, all we've got to do is go to that and see if we can find any clues."

The two of them slipped out of the window just as Roxie walked into Miley's room.

"I've been thinking that we should go to Antarctica. Those kidnappers would never find us there."

She stopped and looked around for a moment, then looked over at the open window. "Oh, no. You did not try to run from Roxie. Roxie sees all!" With that she cannel- balled out the window, just as Dolly and Miley pulled away in Dolly's car.
