Disclaimer: As you all know, Sunday was Easter. I had a huge Easter-Egg hunt with my sister, and the result was about a pound or so of candy sitting on my bed. I would gladly trade every single piece of candy—right down to the Midnight Milky Ways (my absolute favorite)—for Mitchel Musso. However, the day that I have Mitchel Musso sitting on my bed will be the day that I own Hannah Montana.

"In the same movie?" Jake asked.

"In the same movie."

"Together?"

"Together."

Jake wiped the slime off of his face, and kissed her.

Chapter Eight

"Miley, we're leaving," Lily said, shaking Miley awake.

"Leaving? For where?" Miley asked groggily.

"Well, you're not going anywhere, movie star. Me and Oliver are going back to Malibu today."

"Oh my goodness, Lily. You can't leave me! I'll have nobody to gossip with!"

"What about me?" Jake asked, walking into Miley's room with Oliver.

"You don't count."

"Oh, okay," Jake frowned.

"Here, Miley. Here's my cell phone number, just in case you forget," Lily said, passing Miley a slip of paper. "And here's my lucky bracelet." Lily finished, handing Miley the old friendship bracelet that Miley had taken from her almost a year ago.

"Thanks, Lily," Miley said, hugging her. "What about you, boy? Don't I get something from you?"

"Umm," Oliver paused. "You can have my shoes, if you want. I brought two pairs."

"I'll pass."

"How about my sunglasses?" Oliver asked, handing Miley his glasses. She put them on. "You look stupid, but they'll remind you of me."

"Sounds good, best friend."

"We need to go, now, Miley," Oliver said. "We'll see you in five months."

"Bye, Oliver and Lily. I'll miss you. Come visit me," Miley said, getting out of bed and hugging them each in tern.

"Bye, Oken," Jake said as he pulled Oliver into a 'man-hug'. "Miss Truscott," Jake said politely, kissing her hand.

"Bye, Jake," Lily smiled. "Miley, make sure you don't come back with a new best friend."

"I wouldn't dream of it."

------------------------------------------------

"Alright, Miss Montana, are you ready to begin the read through?" The director, Henry, said.

"Yes, I am," Miley said, picking up her heavy script.

"Mr. Ryan?"

"Yessir."

"Wonderful. Well, let's begin. Hannah, Violet begins the movie with a monologue that sets the scene for the movie. If you'll begin?"

"Alright," Miley said. She took a deep breath and began. "When James Wagner first moved into Seaview, I couldn't stand him. I mean, no new kid had ever been so confident. He was always polite, and he would flirt with all the girls. Nobody could get enough of him—myself included. But when my boyfriend broke up with me because I talked to James so much, I was determined that this was my chance to get him to be mine. I knew that if I tried hard enough, James Wagner would like me—Violet Sawyer."

"Lovely, Hannah. Now, Jake, let's skip to the end where you and Hannah have just kissed at the end of Junior Prom. Ready?"

"Sure, sir," Jake said, winking at Miley. "When I moved next door to Violet Sawyer, I thought that she was just another girl. By the end of the week, I knew that I was horribly wrong. Violet was the most headstrong, independent girl that I've ever met. I was determined by the end of the month, that Violet would be mine. I worked too hard to be the best on the football team, or the best kid in class… but when all else fails, be yourself. In the end, look where I ended up."

"Good job, Jake. Now, after that, there's a short epilogue, a montage, if you will, narrated by Sofia, Violet's best friend. Basically, it goes on to say that true love prevails, and Violet and James lived happily ever after when they finished high school. Lovely, right? Well, we'll begin filming the first scene tomorrow, since we have to push this movie along. We're trying to get you both back to school in time, you see."

"Oh, thanks, sir," Miley grinned.

"Besides, I'm sure that you two will have had enough of each other by the end of this movie," Henry said.

"I don't quite think that that matters, sir. Me and Hannah will be seeing quite a bit of each other, even once the movie finishes," Jake announced.

"Well, lucky you, Jake. Hannah is quite a lovely lady. Make sure you don't forget that."

"If I did, I'd have to kill myself, sir."

"Lovely. Well, I'll give you all the afternoon to go home and learn your lines for the first scene. We'll do the narration for the introduction this evening, Hannah, if you don't mind."

"Do you have time now?" Miley asked.

"Well, yes, but are you ready?"

"Always."

"Okay, come with me," Henry said, leading her into a room. "Aiden will be here in a minute to help you out."

When Miley had imagined Aiden helping her with the beginning, she thought that a slim, brunette girl with a long, pointy nose would be there, teaching her how to say the lines properly. Boy, was she wrong.

Aiden was a short, wide man with a plethora of facial hair. He had a large, bushy mustache and a short nose that looked like a tomato. "Hannah Montana," Aiden said. "It most certainly is a pleasure to meet you at last. I trust that I'll see you around the set?"

"Yes, sir," Miley said, looking down.

"I hope that I'll be seeing a lot more of you."

"I'm afraid that I don't…"

"Miss Montana, I see that you're a typical southern belle. Completely stupid, but worthless other than for sexual pleasure."

"I beg your pardon!" Miley shouted. Outside the room, Jake looked into the window, worried about his girlfriend's shout.

"You're not worth anything to Henry—I'm surprised Jake hasn't gotten into your pants yet," Aiden said.

"What?!" Jake shouted, barging into the room. "Are you insinuating that Hannah is a slut?"

"I believe that I am," Aiden said.

"Come on, Hannah, we're out of here," Jake said, grabbing Miley's hand. The two walked out of the room, and were just on their way out the door when Henry stopped them.

"That was short, Hannah. Are you coming back later to finish?"

"She won't be coming back at all unless Aiden leaves," Jake said defiantly.

"What happened?" Henry asked, sighing.

"Aiden just called Hannah a slut, and then attempted to take advantage of her!" Jake yelled.

"Is this true, Hannah?" Henry asked.

"Yes," Miley said quietly.

"Thank you for telling me, Jake. I'll make sure that Aiden leaves," Henry said. As Jake left the building with Miley and stepped into his limo, Miley laid her head on his chest.

"Thank you, Jake."

"For what? That's my job. I'm your boyfriend."

"I know. But you helped me out, and you didn't even slip up and call me 'Miley'."

"I wouldn't tell anybody who you are," Jake said, rubbing her hair.

"Where to?" Jake's chauffer asked.

"How about the shopping center? I think my lady here could use some fun."

"Sounds good."

"Thanks, Jake," Miley smiled.

"Hey…hey," Jake said, tilting Miley's head up to his. "That's what I'm here for."

A/N: I cut this chapter shorter than I was going to make it. I know that it seems ridiculous for someone to hit on Hannah—but it's part of my plan for 'making Miley and Jake gain a stronger BF/GF bond'. If I cut up the rest of the chapters right, it should be three more chapters. But the end's pretty lousy, so I may rewrite it. Either way, I suck at endings, so it won't be great anyway.

Next update tomorrow—I was out pretty much all day today, or you would've gotten it earlier. But I'm leaving state on Wednesday evening, so you won't get anything after tomorrow. Tomorrow's update will be wicked late, too. (Probably 10:00 or 11:00 in the evening. If you're lucky, I may post one for Wednesday, too. But with all the homework I have to make up… sigh.)

P.S. Thanks to my reviewers. I deleted my chapter to write you all down. :P If I accidentally deleted you, please let me know so that I can ammend my list.
