Hi everyone. Okay, so this is me finally getting back to my songfic story. This is Chapter 11. It is Ready, Set, Don't Go and it is going to be sung by Miley and Susie. Okay, so the premise is that Susie is now fifteen and she's just found out that her Momma was actually Hannah Montana. She goes to Lilly and asks to find out more about Miley's celebrity life. Lilly tells her that it was hard work balancing both school and concerts, but Susie says she may be able to do it. However, Miley doesn't want to put her little girl through the torment that she went through as Hannah. That is where the story starts, with Miley and Susie arguing about Hannah. So here we go. Take What You Can Productions and Keep to the Code Pictures presents Hannah Montana Songfics.
"Susie, I already told you, being Hannah isn't all fun and party's and limos and concerts. You are also hounded by the paparazzi, never get a moments rest from fans and have to go to every single CD signing and benefit and premiere in Hollywood. It's hard and tiring work. I don't want that for you. I want you to grow up with a normal life, something I never had. Don't ya get it, bud? I made the decision to be Hannah at an early age. It was the biggest mistake I had ever made because I couldn't take it back. You've got your whole life ahead of you, darlin'. Don't throw it away for a stupid celebrity lifestyle," Miley said.
Susie stood staring at her mother, speechless. Why would her mother be saying all this? Didn't she have fun as Hannah? So what if the paparazzi are always hounding you, so what if you get chased by fans every time you go outside. That would just cement your popularity in Hollywood.
"But, Momma, didn't you like going to all the parties and meeting the celebrities and getting free stuff? I sure as heck would," Susie said. Miley put her face in her palm and sighed.
"Sweet Niblets. Susie, you're missin' the point. Yes, while all of that was fun and I had a good time, I had an even better time just hanging with my friends on the beach. Spend the afternoon at Uncle Rico's Surf Shack and not have to worry about Hannah. It isn't all fun and games most of the time, Susie. There are a lot of things that tempt you. Drugs, drinking alcohol, having premarital sex. I don't want that to happen to you, baby girl. I think it's best if we just put that old wig away and forget this ever happened," Miley said. Susie groaned.
"Momma, I'm fifteen. I'm not eleven like you were when you became Hannah. I mean, think about it. There's no way I can make something of myself here in Crowley Corners. I wanna go out in the world and do something with my life," she said.
"Susie, I don't want to hear another word about it," Miley snapped. Susie glared daggers at her mother.
"Fine! How about three? I HATE YOU!" Susie yelled, bursting into tears. She ran upstairs and slammed her door. Miley sat down on the couch and groaned.
"So, what happened?" Lilly asked. Miley sighed.
"I just don't understand why she has to constantly battle me on every point," she said. Lilly scooted over and put her arm around Miley.
"Baby, she's young. She's amazed that her mother was a celebrity. You remember how I acted when you told me the Hannah secret. Susie just needs a little time to adjust, okay?" Miley smiled and kissed her wife on the cheek.
"You know, Lil. This reminds me of the time I wanted to go to Florida, but Daddy said no. He followed me to the plane but wrote me that brilliant song called Ready, Set, Don't Go, and I finally understood," Miley said. Lilly grinned.
"And do you remember what he told you after he sang the song?" she asked.
"No Daddy ever wants to see his little girl grow up, but every dad knows that someday she has to," Miley said. She realized then that she didn't want Susie to be Hannah not because of the problems in Hollywood, but that she didn't want to see her baby girl grow up. She hugged Lilly and said she knew what to do. She headed upstairs and knocked on Susie's door.
"Bud? You okay?" Miley asked. She opened the door and saw that Susie had buried her head in a pillow on her bed. Miley sat down on the bed and stroked her little girl's hair.
"Aw, sweetie. It'll be okay. Listen, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have snapped at you. I realize now that I don't want you to go not because of what happens in Hollywood, but because I don't want to see my little girl grow up. But I know that someday you'll have to. Here," Miley said. She handed Susie a piece of paper that had the song Ready, Set, Don't Go on it. Susie took it and asked,
"What is it?" Miley chuckled.
"Did you know that me and Grandpa Robbie had the same problem that's happening now when I was your age?" she asked. Susie smiled.
"Really?" she asked. Miley grinned.
"Heck yeah. I was so adamant of wanting to go to Florida for a benefit concert that I tried everything to convince Grandpa Robbie to let me go. But he'd gotten hurt and was just looking out for my well being. I didn't know it at the time but he was just trying to protect me. So, I snuck away and went on the plane with my bodyguard. Grandpa found me and at first he was mad, but then he sang that song and we instantly were alright," she said. Then Miley started to sing.
She's gotta do what she's gotta do
And I've gotta like it or not
She's got dreams to big for this town
And she needs to give'em a shot
Wherever they are
Miley stopped and looked at Susie.
"Your turn, baby girl," she said. Susie cleared her throat and continued the song.
Looks like I'm already to leave
Nothin' left to pack
Miley took her part.
Ain't no room for me in that car
Even if she asked me to tag along
God, I gotta be strong
Susie continued.
I'm at the starting line for the rest of my life
As ready as I've ever been
Got the hunger and the stars in my eyes
The prize is mine to win.
Miley continued.
She is waitin' on my blessin's before she hits that open road
Well, baby, Get Ready, Get Set, Don't Go
Susie smiled. Lilly crept upstairs and sat down with them both. Susie looked at the lyrics and continued.
It looks like things are falling in place
Lilly took the next verse.
Feels like they're falling apart
Miley grabbed the next one.
I painted this big ol' Smile on my face to hide my broken heart
If only she knew
Susie sang the next line.
This is where you don't say what you want so bad to say
Miley took the next verse.
This is where I want to but I won't get in the way of her and her dreams
And spreadin' her wings
Susie continued
I'm at the startin' line for the rest of my life
As ready as I've ever been
Got the hunger and the stars in my eyes
The prize is mine to win
Miley took the next line.
She is waitin' on my blessin's before she hits that open road
Well, baby, Get Ready, Get Set, Don't go
Susie took the next one.
I'm at the startin' line for the rest of my life as ready as I've ever been
Got the hunger and the stars in my eyes
The prize is mine to win
Miley took the final verse.
She is waitin' on my blessin's before she hits that open road
Well, baby, Get Ready, Get Set, Please Don't Go
The Stewarts stopped singing and then Miley looked at her only daughter and smiled.
"Darlin', no momma ever wants to see her little girl grow up, but every mom knows that someday she has to. Once we go down stairs, I'm calling Aunt Mikayla and sendin' you to Hollywood," she said. Susie gasped.
"Really?" she asked. Miley nodded.
"Hannah Montana doesn't need her momma to help her. She's got all the talent she needs. But if you ever want to come home, we'll be right here," she said. Then she and Lilly both hugged their daughter.
"I love you guys," Susie said.
"We love you too," Miley and Lilly said. And they all meant it.
And done. There. That was Ready, Set, Don't Go. The next one will be another Tim McGraw song, My Little Girl. It's going to be quite a tear jerker.
So I'll see you soon. Bye
