Chapter 1

They Came From Boston

"What time is it, Daddy?" Miley asked for the fifth time in the last five minutes.

"One minute later than the last time you asked me bud. Now settle down and relax." Miley sat down for a few seconds and then stood back up and started pacing again.

"What time is it, Daddy?"

"Alright, that does it. Jackson."

"What, Dad?"

"Take your sister and get something."

"Like what?"

"Like anything that will get her out of here for thirty minutes."

"But Dad, their plane is suppose to be here in fifteen minutes."

"Jackson…."

"Alright, Dad. Come on Miles."

"Oooh…do I have to, Daddy?" Miley was listening to the conversation and hoped being quiet would help.

"Yes, you do. You have asked me when their plane is going to get here one too many times. I know you are excited about seeing Cody again, but I can't take much more of this. So go. You can come back in fifteen minutes unless they announce their flight."

With that, Miley followed Jackson to 'get something'. She was a little put out by having to leave. Didn't he know how important it was for her that Cody was coming. Cody, who made breakfast for her. Cody, who was in tune with her. Cody, who chose Miley over Hannah. Cody, her first love. This would be the first time they saw each other since she was in Boston. Miley had planned a tour of Malibu for Cody. She even got permission to use the limo to do it too. She even had a Hannah concert she was going to take him too. What was really making her nervous was she was not sure if he still felt the same way. It wasn't like they'd lost contact with each other. Cody was an excellent letter writer. She had at least one e-mail from him a week. Miley told him everything that was going on in her life and he did the same. But would it still be the same?

Miley looked over at her brother. He was excited too. But you couldn't tell it. He and Maddie had gotten close in their time together. But she didn't know exactly how close they had gotten. What Miley did know was that Jackson and Cooper were in training for their try-outs for the summer Olympic team. They had received an invitation to try-out to be one of the two beach volleyball teams. Yeah, they were just that good at this young of an age. Miley really thought they could make it. She just wondered how Maddie's visit would affect their training.

"Miles, where are you going?"

Jackson had turned into a snack store. She totally didn't see him turn in, so wrapped up in her thoughts she was. Miley followed him into the store and went to the teen magazine section. Jackson went for the junk food. He picked up two handfuls of candy and paid for it. Then he came back to get Miley.

"Don't tell me you're going to read about Hannah Montana again."

They exchanged looks and she picked up two magazines that had features about Hannah, raised her chin and went to pay for them. Then she followed Jackson back to their dad.

"I just don't understand why you pay for magazines with articles about yourself when you already know about yourself."

"When you figure out what you just said, let me know so I can ignore it."

Before Jackson could respond, they had reached their father. Through the window, they saw an airplane pulling up to the gangway.

"They're here, Daddy. They're here, Daddy."

"I can see that, Bud. Can you wait for the plane to park and them to let the passengers off?"

"NO!"

"Well do it anyways."

Miley walked up to the window and stood there absorbed with the process of bringing the airplane in.

"Miley……Miley……" Robbie got up and walked over to his daughter and tapped her on the shoulder. Miley jumped.

"What?"

"Here. Try a sucker and stop chewing on your nails."

Miley looked down at her now stubby nails and took the sucker, unwrapped it and stuck it in her mouth.

"Relax Bud, things will be fine."

"Flight 343 from Boston to Los Angeles well be deplaning in fifteen minutes," the clerk at the counter announced. Miley moved over by the gangway and waited with nervous excitement.

The doors opened and the passengers started to come off the plane. Miley strained to find Cody in the line of travelers that were coming off of the plane. As she looked the more she got worried. She knew that he was on this plane but the more people that came off without her seeing Cody the more she worried. Miley looked back at her dad to get reassured. Seeing how worried she was on her face, he simply nodded to her. Miley turned back around and was surprised. Standing right in front of her was Cody with a huge smile on his face.

"Hi Miley."

"Hi Cody."

They stood there just looking at each other. Maddie walked up behind Cody and looked at both of them. She leaned in close and said, "This is where you hug each other." And then she made her way to Jackson. They both blushed and then took a step towards each other and hugged. Jackson and Maddie were doing the same thing. Miley took Cody's hand and they went to join the others by her dad. From there they went to the luggage return. After getting the luggage, they headed out to the limo.

"WOW! We get a limo!" Zack said in awe.

"Yeah, the company is letting me borrow it." Robbie Ray told him.

"Who do you work for?"

"It's a family business."

Cody was looking at Miley in the limo. He was wondering if she still felt the same way about him. After all, she was Hannah Montana. He saw her on Zombie Slayer. Was that just acting or was it one of those co-star romances you always read about in the tabloids. It seemed like she still cared for him. Miley was right there at the door to the gangway. She held hands with him. She even took quick glances at him even now. He squeezed her hand and she squeezed back reassuringly. They just needed some time by themselves so they could talk. Cody was looking at Miley when she looked at him. Cody smiled. Miley smiled and squeezed his hand again.

They pulled up to the doors of the hotel they where staying at and everyone got out. Once the checking in process was done, everyone went up to the rooms to get settled in.

"I'll have the limo come back and pick everyone up at five o'clock. Dinner is on me." Robbie told everyone.

"Will Lilly be there?" Zack asked.

"And Oliver too. Oh Zack, you may want to wear skating clothes too." Miley smiled as she answered Zack's question.

"That sounds great Robbie. What type of dress do I need to wear?" Carey asked.

"Casual. I'm grill at the house."

"That sounds great." Maddie added.

Everyone exchanged goodbyes. The Stewarts headed home. The Martins and Maddie started to unpack and relax.
