True Friends
Song: True Friend by Hannah Montana
Disclaimer: I do not own any of these characters besides Mackenzie and Natalia, my own characters.
When they arrived at the Santa Barbara Middle School, Shawn and Gus were already there.
When they walked in, they noticed Henry and headed over to him.
"Hey dad." Natalia said. Despite moving in with Shawn, she liked her dad, she still talked to him at least. Well, at least you could say, she had a rather better relationship with him than Shawn did.
"Hi Natalia."
"Hey dad."
"Hey Henry." Mackenzie exclaimed. She had gotten used to calling him Henry instead of Mr. Spencer, and Henry liked it better.
Mr. and Mrs. O'Hara continued to talk to Henry.
Juliet, Mackenzie, and Natalia headed over to Shawn and Gus.
Mackenzie and Natalia got to them first. Juliet was just a few steps behind.
"Mr. Little's still here?" Shawn asked looking at the program.
"Really?" Gus asked. "He's got to be about 80 now."
"Dude, he was like 80 when we went here."
"Shawn!" Gus said. Just then Mackenzie and Natalia came up to them.
"Hey Shawn, hey Gus." The two girls said.
"Hey." Shawn and Gus replied.
"You two look great." Gus said.
"Yeah, you look…" Shawn paused. Juliet walked up next to Mackenzie and Natalia. "Wow…Jules…you look…amazing…beautiful." Shawn exclaimed.
"Thanks Shawn." Juliet said somewhat sarcastically but actually with a little bit of seriousness in her voice. She smiled.
Juliet was wearing a light purple dress. She had her hair down in curls. She also had white strappy heels on.
Mackenzie and Natalia were watching this unfold, and then they looked at each other, smiled, and secretly did their handshake. They slowly pulled their hand down in a fist while slowly saying "yes." Then they lightly pounded fists after, like Shawn and Gus do. It was a handshake they had come up with two years ago when they became best friends.
After a minute, they noticed Lassiter and they talked to him. Then Mackenzie and Natalia had to get their robes on and line up with their class. And everyone else had to take their seats.
About five minutes later, after the class got in order and the friends and family had taken their seats, the pianist played the graduation song and the 8th Grade Class of 2008 proceeded down the aisle of the Santa Barbara Middle School auditorium and took their seats in the front rows.
The 8th grade graduation was always held in the auditorium instead of at a hall, because the auditorium had enough room for the eighth grade and their families and friends.
After a short speech by the principal, Mr. Hinckley, the students were called up to receive their diplomas. He went through the A's, B's, C's, D's, and so on until finally he came to the N's and O's. Each student got up and received their diploma as practiced.
"Lisa Marie Nathans….Patrick John Nickelsamburg…"
"Nickelsamburg?" Shawn asked Gus. "What kind of name is that?"
"Would you shut up Shawn, they're almost at Mackenzie."
"….Mackenzie Lynn O'Hara…."
"Woo, woohoo!!" Shawn stood up and cheered.
Everyone applauded.
Juliet, Gus, Henry, Mr. and Mrs. O'Hara, and Lassiter all briefly stood up and applauded.
"Shawn would you keep it down, it's a graduation not a football game." Meanwhile the others had sat back down already. "Besides, they're calling the next student now, sit down." Gus said.
"Ooh, someone forgot to drink their happy juice today." Shawn mocked.
"No, I'm just being respectful."
"….Drake Peters….Abigail Pinklebottom…."
Shawn chuckled. "Pinklebottom?" He chuckled again. "That's actually a name?"
"Shawn." Gus said.
Juliet then lightly hit him.
"Sorry." Shawn said.
"….Natalia Ann Spencer…."
"Woo!" Once again they all stood up and applauded and Shawn cheered.
Gus had given up, he didn't say anything this time.
After the ceremony, they all had a small piece of the cake the school had provided in the cafeteria.
"That was quite a show you put on for us Shawn." Natalia said.
"Yeah, very entertaining." Mackenzie added.
"Are you guys ready to head over to the real party?" Juliet asked excitedly.
"Oh yeah." Natalia and Mackenzie said at the same time. "I almost forgot." Mackenzie said.
Natalia and Mackenzie took a few pictures with teachers and then left. They got into Juliet's car and headed to the SBPD.
When they all walked in there was a huge crowd of officers from the day shift and night shift standing waiting for their arrival.
"Congratulations!!" they all shouted and cheered.
They had a huge banner hanging up that said Congratulations Mackenzie and Natalia! There were balloons and streamers everywhere. There was a long table at the side with food, drinks, and a cake.
At one end of the hallway, a small platform was set up. And there was a small band performing on it.
They all hung out and talked and laughed for a while. Juliet, Mackenzie, and Natalia changed into casual clothes. Natalia wore one of her favorite outfits – jeans and her black shirt with white hearts on it with a little black sweater over it. Mackenzie wore one of her favorite outfits as well – jeans and a fuchsia/pinkish-purple baby doll-like top with cherries and butterflies on it.
They were all talking, laughing, and some people tried karaoke.
Then Mackenzie got up on the stage. She stepped up to the microphone.
"Can I have everyone's attention for a moment?" she said. When everyone quieted down, she continued. "I first just wanted to say thank you to everyone. This has been and awesome graduation party. I also wanted to sing a song."
She told the band what song and they knew. Actually it was because she knew one of the members and he had a little sister who liked the song and made him play it. Anyway, Mackenzie went back to the microphone.
"Some of you may know how I like Hannah Montana. I think she's awesome!" she said. "Well I decided to sing one of her song tonight. It's called 'True Friend,' and I'd like to dedicate it to an AWESOME best friend, Natalia Spencer. You're the best Natalia! Congratulations!" Natalia was smiling, somewhat shyly. She was also kind of shocked, she had no idea that Mackenzie was doing this.
"You're the best Mackenzie! Congratulations!"
Then, the band started playing the song and Mackenzie began to sing.
We sign our cards and letters BFF
You got a million ways to make me laugh
You're looking out for me
You got my back
It's so good to have you around.
You know the secrets I could never tell
And when I'm quiet you break through my shell
Don't feel the need to do a rep for you
Cause you keep my feet on the ground.
You're a true friend
Everyone started rocking back and forth like Mackenzie was.
You're here till the end
You pull me aside when something ain't right
Talk with me now and into the night
Till it's alright again
You're a true friend
You don't angry when I change the plans
Somehow you're never out of second chances
Won't say "I told you" when I'm wrong again
I'm so lucky that I found
A true friend
You're here till the end
You pull me aside when something ain't right
Talk with me now and into the night
Till it's alright again
True friends will go to the ends of the earth
Till they find the things they need
Friends hang on through the ups and the downs
Cause they got someone to believe in
A true friend
You're here till the end
You pull me aside when something ain't right
Talk with me now and into the night
No need to pretend
Ooh, you're a true friend
You're here till the end
You pull me aside when something ain't right
Talk with me now and into the night
Till it's alright again
You're a true friend
You're a true friend
You're a true friend
Everyone cheered. Mackenzie took a quick bow, said "thank you," and ran over to Shawn, Gus, Juliet, and Natalia. Natalia and Mackenzie hugged. Everyone told her how great she was. Natalia said how awesome she was. Mackenzie and Natalia hugged again.
