Hey guys-

For all of you who have stuck with me thus far here is a really long one. ENJOY! But if you enjoy make sure you REVIEW!!!!!

A few minutes later Miley heard someone washing dishes in the Kitchen and she realized where she and Jake were. She pulled herself away from him kissing him for the briefest of moments.

Jake looked at her as if she had grown another head. "Where on earth do you think you're going? You're not done kissing your husband yet!" He said with mock indignation.

Miley laughed and kissed him again. How could she not when he called himself her husband. Before they got too caught up Miley pulled away again and smiled.

"Come on Jake lets go tell them the good news!" Miley said taking Jake by the hand and pulling him towards the door.

For an instant she saw Jake smiling back at her with as much excitement as she felt. Then all of a sudden it was like trying to pull a boulder along with her. Jake had completely stopped moving towards the door.

He had his hand in his hair again which meant he was nervous about something.

"So by them….who do you mean exactly?" Jake said looking at her out of the corner of his eyes and raising his eyebrows.

Miley looked back at Jake slightly confused. She laughed a little nervously. "Come on Jake. You know exactly who I mean….OUR friends…Jenna and Kevin? The people who's house this is?"

Jake was still messing with his hair. This wasn't a good sign.

"Yeah. About that. I think telling Jenna is a great idea and I'm behind you 100 on that one…but..uh…about Kevin. Why don't we you know…wait awhile before telling him." Jake said looking flushed.

Miley laughed a little more noticing Jake's discomfort. She walked up to him and felt the first pangs of fear entering her heart. Was he ashamed? "Come on Jake. What's the problem? Don't you want people to know about us? " Miley asked pointing in between them.

Jake's eyes widened in horror. "WHAT? Oh God Miley No! It's not like that at all. I'd go on live tv and shout it as loud as I could that you agreed to Marry me. I've never been more excited about anything in my entire life. It's just that….well…. when Kevin finds out that he… got me the girl of my dreams…I'm going to owe him BIG TIME." Jake said with his eyes wide looking at his shoes.

Miley laughed feeling relieved that he wasn't having second thoughts. "Come on Jake it won't be that bad."

"Miles…I love you desperately but you have NO idea what you're talking about. I mean just think about it…BEFORE he got me the girl I've been in love with forever he had no problems messing with my life…I mean he moved us both half way across the world, and had us sign BINDING legal contracts just so we'd be stuck with each other! What do you think it'll be like NOW when I owe him EVERYTHING!" Jake said sitting down on the child size Giraffe chair next to the crib.

Miley thought quietly that he might have a point. She had done her share of meddling in her friend's lives but she had never gone as far as Kevin had in getting them back together. Secretly she admired his work.

She looked over at Jake in the Giraffe chair who was now feeling around his stomach area looking concerned.

Miley shook her head with amused wonder. "What on earth are you doing?"

"I'm trying to commit to memory what it feels like to have all of my organs before Kevin decides he needs them!" He said half sarcastically half completely serious.

Miley laughed again. She loved his sense of humor. It was dorky but ridiculously cute.

She sighed heavily and took his hand helping him out of the giraffe chair. "Did you really learn nothing from me in high school?" Miley asked shaking her head in mock disappointment. "Meddling is an ART. And the only thing that keeps a meddler from meddling is fear. So all you have to do is convince Kevin that you're just as capable of messing around with his emotions and he'll have to at least back off a bit."

Jake looked at her a smile growing wider and wider across his face. He picked her up and kissed her. "I knew you were too beautiful not to be just a little bit evil!"

Jake walked over to the small desk and wrote something down on a piece of paper. He then went back to Miley and gave her a little kiss on the cheek.

He went tot the door and looked back at her. "Just stay out of sight for awhile. I think I'm going to enjoy this." He said with a wink leaving her to the nursery as he went to find Kevin. (A/N for the next part Miley and Jenna's conversation is in italics…Jake and Kevin in regular font)

Luckily for him Jake didn't have to go very far. Kevin was sprawled out on one of the oversized chairs they had in their living room.

Jake stopped and took a moment to compose himself before going in. He took a deep breath and entered the room prepared for the acting performance of a lifetime.

Kevin raised his head a little when he noticed Jake entering the room. He didn't quite open his eyes though. "You two were gone long enough." Kevin said his eyes still closed but with a big smirk on his face.

Miley had come out of the nursery and was hiding in the hallway just out of sight. She looked at Jake and wiped away a fake tear. Her Jake was growing up and going to mess with people's emotions…she was SO proud!

Jake's tone was totally different than Kevin had expected. "I DON"T want to talk about it!" Jake said plopping down on the couch with his head in his hands.

Kevin sat up and opened his eyes. Before him Jake seemed…..broken.

"What's wrong?" Kevin asked concern written clearly in his face.

Jake stood up not being able to look Kevin in the eyes. "I blew it ok? That's what's wrong!" He said standing up pacing back and forth and running his hands through his hair.

Miley thus far was impressed. He had clearly thrown himself into the character. She just hoped he had the stamina for such a complex prank.

"What do you mean you blew it?…You guys seemed fine…actually more than fine a few minutes ago….how did you screw it up so quickly?" Kevin asked incredulously.

Jake gave Kevin a death glare and then seemed to get angry. "You want to know how I blew it?….Well I'll tell you!" He said trying but not succeeding at keeping his voice down.

"I proposed." Jake whispered, all the anger gone completely replaced by fear and desperate sadness.

Kevin looked like someone had just punched him in the gut. He was holding his stomach and his mouth was hanging open with nothing coming out of it.

"Proposed what?" Kevin finally asked clearly hoping he had misunderstood his friend.

Jake looked almost livid, Miley didn't know he had this type of performance in him.

"Marriage of course! What do you think I proposed?" Jake shot back at Kevin clearly enraged.

Kevin blinked his eyes and shook his head as if trying to wake himself up from a bad dream.

Jenna had come up behind Miley noticing her intent gaze on the two men in the living room. Ducking down beside her she asked "So what are we watching here?" with a small glint in her eyes. Miley smiled back at the woman she had come to love as a dear friend.

"Jake's trying to get back at Kevin for meddling with his personal life…wanna watch…it's actually really good!" She said brining her eyes back to the scene in the livingroom.

"Is he gonna make Kevin squirm?" Jenna asked quietly.

Miley nodded with the slight evil glint in her eyes "Oh yeah." Jenna sat down beside her. "I'm in!"

Kevin stood up and started pacing with Jake. "So let me get this straight. After about a week of dating you have the nerve to propose to Miley….and she turned you down?" Kevin asked still not believing things had progressed so quickly between them.

Jake sat down in the chair and put his head in his hands. "That just about sums it up now doesn't it?" Jake said talking to his shoes looking completely desperate.

Kevin sat down speechless.

Jenna's eyes were wide. "Is that true? He proposed and you turned him down?"

Miley smiled a real smile now and bit her lip turning to her good friend. "Yes he proposed…but I definitely didn't say no." She said biting even harder on her lip to keep herself from smiling too broadly.

Jenna hugged Miley as hard as she possibly could. "Congratulations! I'm so happy for both of you!" She whispered excitedly to Miley.

Miley looked back at Jenna and saw tears in her eyes and suddenly her eyes had tears too. She shook her head. "We can't get all sappy yet….that's what the wedding is for!" She said as both women wiped their eyes.

Jenna looked back at her. "Yeah. You're right. We should just watch them." She said pointing back at Jake and Kevin. "This never happened right?"

"Right." Miley said still with tears in her eyes hugging Jenna once more and feeling wonderful at the prospect of being engaged all over again.

It was Jake that brought the two out of their personal reverie. He had apparently broken the silence that he and Kevin were sharing after he told him that Miley had turned him down. Miley and Jenna now watched them both with their undivided attention.

"I just don't know what happened! It was all going so well. I went to see her with the baby and I don't know…. it just hit me. I knew I had to ask her. So I did." Jake began explaining sadness pervading his entire body.

"And she seemed really excited. But….but then I decided I had to tell her everything and it was all down hill from there." Jake said putting his hands on his forehead and looking completely desperate.

Kevin looked confused. "What do you mean you had to tell her everything?"

Jake sighed sadly and looked at Kevin.

Miley couldn't tell but it looked like he had tears in his eyes. Man he really is good!

"I mean I told her EVERYTHING! How I was a coward for not coming to find her and how I had to wait until my best friend decided to try and get us together by putting us in a romantic movie together." Jake said flailing his arms about.

"That's basically when she lost it." He said pacing again and shaking his head around.

"She obviously hadn't figured out that the movie had been a clever setup and she said that she didn't know if she could trust me or anything anymore! She even was questioning her feelings for Mark again since she considered everything else I've told her to be a complete and utter lie!" Jake said again thrusting his hands in the air and moving about the room in random directions.

He suddenly stopped and just looked out the window.

Jenna's jaw dropped. She looked at Miley. "Did he just manage to make it sound like you dumping him was Kevin's fault for setting you guys up?"

Miley was in awe. "Yep."

Jenna smiled deviously and laughed softly. "That was seriously brilliant." Miley could only nod. She hadn't thought that anyone could pull something like this off without laughing once. Jake was more much more of an amazing actor than she had ever given him credit for.

Kevin was looking at Jake with pain and disappointment written all over his face. He stood up slowly and went to approach Jake who was busy looking out the window. He placed his hand as lightly as he could on Jake's shoulder. "I'm …..I'm so sorry Jake. I should have told her you would be in the movie in the first place. It's all my fault."

Jake just turned and looked at Kevin directly. In the saddest voice Miley had ever heard he answered. "It doesn't matter anymore…..none of it matters anymore."

Jake sighed and took a deep breath as if collecting himself. "I….I think I'm going to see if I can take her home yet. She wanted me to give this to you and Jenna…you know so she wouldn't have to say her goodbye's." Jake finished as he handed Kevin the piece of paper and started walking away.

Kevin took the paper and looked back at his friend. "Jake come on…we'll fix it!"

Jake cut him off and looked at him as if there was nothing else left to live for. "It doesn't matter anymore." He said softly and walked away towards the hallway. When he was beyond Kevin's view…..he smiled.

Jenna was waiting for Jake at her and Miley's hiding place. As soon as he reached them she kissed him on the cheek and hugged him frantically. "I'm soooo happy for the both of you!" "And THAT" She said pointing to where he and Kevin had just been…."was the best performance I have ever seen in my life!" She started laughing. "He totally deserved it though." Jake and Miley laughed quietly with her, Jake still hugging Jenna and taking Miley's hand with his free arm.

Kevin looked at the folded paper and sat on the couch feeling completely and utterly empty. He put his head in his hands and couldn't believe how much damage he had done to Jake's life. Sure before all this he wasn't living life to its full potential but the guy had still had hope. Now it didn't seem as if Jake had anything….and it was all his fault. He felt terrible.

He looked down at the paper and slowly unfolded it. There were only 4 words on it.

"GOTCHA. She said YES!"

He dropped the piece of paper as if it were on fire his mouth wide with shock. "What? Are you???? What??? JAKE!!!!!!"

Jake, Jenna and Miley laughed heartily at the sound of Kevin's yelling and came out from down the hallway. Jake and Miley came out holding hands and smiling widely. Jenna was also smiling but shaking her head at her husband.

"YOU! And you!" Kevin said pointing first at Jake and then at Jenna who was obviously laughing at him too. "You knew about this?"

Jenna just smiled and went up to her husband and wrapped her arms around his neck. "It's ok Honey. You've learned your lesson right? You're not going to use movies anymore as a way to set people up on dates anymore right?" She said as if talking to a small child.

Kevin seemed to be regaining his faculties. He looked at Jake and Miley and his wife in front of him, a smile creeping across his face. "Fine…I won't use movies anymore to set people up on dates!" he said as he hugged Jenna.

Looking at Jake over her shoulder he winked. "It sure did work though didn't it?"

Jake looked at Miley and pulled her too him. He winked back at Kevin. "It sure did." He said as he bent down and kissed his incredible fiancé. He looked up again and nodded at Kevin. "And just so you know…Thanks." He said smiling as he held Miley close to him.

Kevin looked at Jenna in his arms and Jake and Miley holding each other tightly and knew it had all been worth it. "It was my pleasure." Kevin said kissing the top of his beautiful wife's head knowing that Jake could now be almost as happy as he was. He couldn't help but feeling that things were good now….really really good!

READ AND REVIEW!!!!! PLEASE????

I know it was silly but the last two chapter were SO fluffy that I needed something different. And actually the bit about Miley saying now was a possibility for the last chapter but I decided against it and thought this would be a different way of putting it in there. Anyway let me know what you think!
