Hey all. So this is another chapter to the songfic. I can't believe that I'm almost done with this story. Wow, it seems like only yesterday I started this. Oh well. So this next one is another tear jerker. The premise is that Susie has spent two years in Hollywood so she is now seventeen. She's gotten some pretty nasty rumors spread about her and is starting to make people question Hannah. Miley and Lilly are watching TV and see a story about Susie. They both know that it's just lies that the paparazzi are telling so they can make Hannah look bad, but even so, they don't want to hear these things being said about their little girl. Be prepared for some crying, because I probably will be too. So, here we go. Take What You Can Productions and Keep to the Code Pictures presents Hannah Montana Songfics.
"Tonight on TMZ! Is the sunshine leaving Ms. Hannah Montana? Johnny Depp talks about Pirates 3 and is Brad Pitt a Brony? All this and more coming up on TMZ," the TV blared. Miley gasped. What did they mean the sunshine was leaving Hannah. She turned up the TV and watched. The man with the highlighter, she didn't know his name, wrote on his red board Hannah Montana controversy.
"Alright, what do we got?" he asked. A guy with long hair and a clip board said,
"I've got some controversial pics from Hannah's photoshoot." The TMZ logo came on the screen and then a voice said,
"The teen pop princess, Hannah Montana, may have just lost her crown. A few weeks earlier, Ms. Montana was seen leaving a bar in the company of a pretty young woman. We aren't going to speculate until we have further proof but I think the evidence speaks for itself. HANNAH MONTANA IS BI! Also, some controversial photos from her photo shoot have surfaced on the internet. Pics of Hannah being covered with just a towel have caused outrage. It looks like Hannah's career is coming to a tragic end."
Miley started to tear up. Why would they be saying these things about her baby girl? What did she ever do to them? Lilly walked in the door and Miley ran over and hugged her wife, sobbing into her shoulder.
"Miley, sweetie, what's wrong?" Lilly asked. Miley pointed to the TV and said,
"They're tellin' lies, Lil. They're tellin' lies about our little girl. I should have never let her go. Oh, Lilly, I was afraid that this would happen." Lilly sat Miley on the couch and then watched the segment. Lilly couldn't believe the horrible things they were saying about their only daughter. She got angry and threw the remote to the ground.
"W-We've gotta get her back, Lil. We've gotta have her come back home. It's not good for her to be there anymore," Miley said. Lilly nodded.
"Miley, I don't know what we can do to convince her to come back," she said. Miley looked at the lone laptop on the table and then at her guitar that was leaning against the wall.
"I have an idea," Miley said, then she grabbed her guitar.

Susie walked into her hotel room after a hard day of being Hannah Montana. She'd seen the TMZ piece on her, but she knew that those weren't pictures of her. It was a decoy that she sent out to fool the paparazzi while Susie herself walked around Hollywood. She couldn't help it if the decoy liked girls. She looked out the window and saw a crowd of people outside. They all had signs saying
Hannah Montana should quit. Down with Hannah. Hannah should retire etc. Susie sighed. Couldn't these people give her a break. She's only seventeen. She went over to the phone and dialed the service desk.
"Service desk, how may I help you?" a girl's voice asked.
"Hi, this is Hannah Montana in room 301b. I just looked out my window and there's a crowd of angry people with signs about me. Could you please get rid of them?" Susie asked.
"Of course, Ms. Montana. We'll take care of it. Good night," the girl said, and then hung up. Susie could count on the hotel security, so she opened her laptop and went to her email. Mostly hate comments, so she deleted them. But then she saw a video message from her parents. She clicked on it and the video screen came up. Susie saw Miley's face for the first time in the two years she'd been in Hollywood. Her mother looked the same, only more tired with age. And it looked like she'd been crying.
"Hey, baby girl," Miley said. Susie smiled.
"If you're watchin' this then that means you're havin' some Hannah trouble. I saw the TMZ segment. I know those pictures weren't of you, baby girl. I'm just surprised you decided to use the decoy. I thought that would never work. But, anyway, your mother and I miss you. We wish you'd come home, baby girl. I know that you're livin' your dreams and I'm proud of you for that. But maybe you should just take a break from Hannah for a little while. I wrote a new song for you, baby girl. It ain't much, but I hope it'll let ya know that we really want you back home and that no matter what, you'll always be our baby girl," Miley said. Then she picked up her guitar and began to sing.
Gotta hold on easy as I let you go
Gonna tell you how much I love you though you think you already know
I remember I thought you looked like an angel wrapped in pink so soft and warm
You've had me wrapped around your finger since the day you were born
Your beautiful baby from the outside in
Chase your dreams but always know the road that'll lead you home again
Go on, take on this old world but to me you know you'll always be
My little girl
Susie started tearing up. She really missed her parents, and Miley's song proved that they would love her no matter what.
When you were in trouble that crooked little smile would melt my heart of stone
Now look at you, I've turned around and you've almost grown
Sometimes you're asleep, I whisper I love you in the moonlight at your door
As I walk away I hear you say, "Momma, love you more"
Your beautiful baby from the outside in
Chase your dreams but always know the road that will lead you home again
Go on, take on this old world but to me you know you'll always be
My little girl
What am I doing? Susie thought to herself. She had a great life, parents that loved her and she gave all of that up for smoggy Hollywood? What was she thinking? Right then and there, she packed up her stuff and then paused the video. She was going to finish it, she just had to make a phone call.
"Auntie Kayla?" she asked. Mikayla answered,
"Yes, Susie?"
"Can you get me on the first flight to Tennessee?"
"You miss your parents?" Mikayla asked.
"Yeah," Susie said, then started tearing up.
"Don't worry, sweetheart. I'll get you on the first flight back to Tennessee. I'll call you when it's ready," Mikayla said. Susie thanked her aunt and then hung up. She went back over to the laptop and continued the video.
Someday some boy'll come and ask me for your hand
But I won't say yes to him unless I know
He's the half that makes you whole
He has a poet's soul
And the heart of a man's man
I know he'll say that he's in love
But between you and me
He won't be good enough
Your beautiful baby from the outside in
Chase your dreams but always know the road that will lead you home again
Go on, take on this whole world but to me you know you'll always be
My little girl
The song ended and then Miley, with tears in her eyes, said,
"We love you, Susie. Please, please come back home, baby girl." Then the screen went black. Susie had been holding back the tears until the end of the video, but once it ended, she let the tears flow. How could she have been so stupidly naïve? She left her loving parents, the greatest people ever, for an itchy wig and sequin vests? No. She was going home and staying with her parents until she was ready. Her cell phone rang and she picked it up. Mikayla was calling her back.
"H-Hey Auntie," she said into the phone.
"Susie, have you been crying?" Mikayla asked.
"Yeah," Susie said, starting to cry again.
"No, no, no, no, no. Don't cry, sweetheart. The Hannah jet is ready to take you back to Tennessee. I'll be waiting in the parking lot with the limo," Mikayla said. Susie thanked her and then hung up. She grabbed her suitcase, put on the Hannah wig and then locked the door. She went down to the lobby, said goodbye to the hotel employees, and then climbed into the limo. The limo sped away and went to the tarmac where Hannah Montana's jet was waiting. Susie was heading home.

Miley awoke the next morning to the smell of bacon and eggs. She wondered if Lilly had gotten up and made breakfast, but seeing as how Lilly was right next to her, she quickly disregarded that thought.
"Is Daddy here?" she asked herself. She nudged Lilly and got out of the bed.
"Miley, sweetie, what is it?" Lilly asked, waking up with a yawn.
"Lilly, someone's cooking something in the kitchen. Maybe it's Daddy," Miley said.
"Let's go find out," Lilly said. They both put on their robes and headed downstairs. They both couldn't believe who they saw in the kitchen. Standing at the stove, wearing a plaid shirt, old blue jeans and dark brown cowboy boots, was Susie. She looked at her parents and smiled.
"Mornin' ya'll. Sleep well?" she asked. Miley and Lilly just nodded, their mouths hanging open.
"Well, don't just stand there waitin' for the flies to fly in, sit down. I made eggs, bacon and some of Grandpa Robbie's famous picture pancakes. Well, sit down," Susie said. Miley and Lilly were speechless. How did their daughter get there? What was she doing there in the first place. Obviously, she'd seen the video and heard the song, but never, never in a million years would Miley expect to see her daughter, in her farm clothes, standing by the stove, making breakfast. It was too good to be true. Susie put down two plates of food in front of her parents and then grabbed a plate for herself.
"So, anythin' excitin' happen while I was gone?" Susie asked. Miley and Lilly didn't say anything, they just stared at Susie.
"Mom, Momma, I'm trying to make this as un-awkward as possible, but you're kinda makin' it difficult," Susie said. Without a word, Miley and Lilly launched out of their chairs and showered their daughter with kisses.
"Well, I'm glad to see you guys too," Susie said.
"H-How are you here right now?" Miley asked, her eyes brimming with tears of joy.
"We-We thought you w-were gonna stay in Hollywood with Aunt Mikayla," Lilly said. Susie laughed.
"And leave my parents behind? No way. If I decide to go back to Hollywood, I'm takin' ya'll with me," she said. Miley and Lilly smiled and hugged their daughter.
"I love you guys," Susie said. Miley and Lilly silently wept.
"We love you too," the two proud parents said. They stopped hugging and then sat down to eat the delicious breakfast that was made by their loving daughter, not realizing that snow had started falling outside.
And done. I swear, I was so close to crying writing those last few lines. If I keep going with this, my tear ducts might run out. But anyway, that song was My Little Girl by Tim McGraw. If you're wondering about the age of the Characters, Miley and Lilly are 28 and Susie is 17. The next song will be another tear jerker. Sheesh, what is with me and tear jerkers? The next song will be Butterfly Fly Away and will be sung by Susie and Miley. So that's it for now. See ya.
