Miley always liked butterflies.

Or at least she used to, up until this moment. Because right now all she wanted was to kill those petulant little butterflies fluttering around inside her stomach. In reality she knew there weren't really a bunch of insects of the order Lepidoptera having a party inside her body, but it sure felt like it to teenage girl as she stared at a beautiful blonde figure standing amidst other momentarily irrelevant ones.

She was lost in her eyes again. Her older brother seemed to notice and tried to get her mind back to planet Earth. An elbow hit to her side seemed to do the trick.

"Uh, what?" She said confused and still coming back from her daze.

"The fans." Jackson smiled awkwardly, stressing the word fans.

"Oh, right!" She shook her head as an attempt to get her brain to work again. "Hi! I'm Hannah Montana. Nice to meet y'all." She smiled sweetly at the group.

Two girls shrieked at that and Hannah raised an eyebrow. She'd never get used to obsessed fans.

"I'll be right outside if any of you need me." Robby Ray said and left the dressing room, closing the door behind him.

Hannah tore her eyes away from the blonde and studied the others for a second. The dark skinned girl and a latina looking girl were the ones that shrieked. They were accompanied by a very handsome boy with piercing blue eyes and one with bushy hair that was giving her an almost predatory look. It gave her the creeps, really. There was also a third boy. He looked a lot like her dream girl, but with blue eyes instead of her gorgeous chocolaty brown ones.

"So, what are your names?" Hannah decided to start the conversation.

"I'm Chad Danforth." The boy with bushy hair said seductively as he jumped forward and took her hand, kissing it.

Before she could retreat her hand or give any sign of how uncomfortable she was feeling right now, the dark skinned girl slapped the back of his head and turned to her.

"I'm sorry about my boyfriend. I swear he can act like a socially apt human being sometimes." She glared at the boy. "I'm Taylor McKessie and I'm a huge fan!"

"Thanks… Taylor."

"Hi. I'm Gabriella Montez and this is Troy Bolton." The latina said referring to the brunette boy.

"I'm Ryan Evans and it's a pleasure to meet you." The blond boy offered her a hand which she shook politely.

Hannah then turned to the blond girl only to notice she was looking away from her. Realizing she wasn't paying attention at the prior conversation she stepped in.

"And you are?" She tried to be as sweet as she could.

The blonde turned to look at her and answered in the snottiest way possible.

"Sharpay Evans."

'So that's her name. Sharpay.' Hannah thought with a smile. It shouldn't come as a surprise that the girl would have such a unique name. The word that used to conjure the image of a drooling dog to her mind would now be replaced. The sound of it would now be associated with the image of the most beautiful angel she had ever seen. 'So beautiful.'

"It's a pleasure to meet you Sharpay." The younger girl shrieked to herself as she spoke the name for the first time. 'I could get used to saying this.' She thought and smiled that million-watt smile that was so uniquely Miley.

Sharpay just shrugged it off and looked away.

The other girl felt crushed. The evident hurt in her face didn't go unnoticed by her older brother.

"So, you guys really like Hannah's music, huh?" The Stewart boy tried to get the conversation going again.

"Gabriella and I are like her number one fans!" Taylor said excitedly.

"We know every one of your songs by heart!" Gabriella joined in just as excited as her friend.

"Is that right?" Hannah tried to hide her feelings as she turned to the girls and attempted a smile.

Both girls nodded frantically, which brought a genuine smile to her lips. Despite Sharpay being a tad less than nice to her she still had a duty with her fans.

"Alright. Which one is your favorite?"

"Bigger Than Us!" Gabriella almost shouted.

"Oh, that's a good one." Hannah really liked that one too.

"You know, Gabs here can rock that song." Troy said as he put his arm around Gabriella's shoulder.

"Troy, stop!" The brunette said blushing.

"No, it's true. She's great!" Taylor encouraged her friend.

"Alright, let's hear it!"

"What? Hannah, no! I'm really not that great." The latina said embarrassed.

"Your friends seem to disagree." Hannah smiled as they nodded. "C'mon, I wanna hear it."

Gabriella didn't really think she was a great singer but it was her chance to sing to her idol and honestly, how many girls could say they sang to Hannah Montana?

Her friends started cheering her on and even Hannah joined in on the pleading. She was having fun, which almost made her forget about the angry looking blonde standing on the corner.

"Okay, fine!" Gabriella finally gave in and they all stopped talking as she was getting ready to sing.

I see your face, I look in your eyes
What you feel is no surprise
Everyone needs something to believe in

The girl started to sing sheepishly, but her voice was still beautiful. As she was going to start the second verse a voice interrupted her.

Tell me your dreams and I'll tell you mine
In our hearts we'll look inside
And see all the colors of a rainbow
I know

Hannah had started to sing and Gabriella couldn't believe it. It was her dream coming true. She just opened up the biggest smile and joined her again for the chorus.

We all wanna believe in love
We all wanna believe in something
Bigger than just us

Gabriella was now completely relaxed and sang happily with the popstar.

We all want to be a part
Of the greater picture
That's hanging in our hearts
Yeah it's bigger than us

They both finished and everybody clapped and whistled their approval. All except Sharpay, who couldn't look any angrier.

"Gabriella, you have a great voice." Hannah said smiling.

"Go Gabs!" Troy kissed his girlfriend on the cheek.

"Girl, you totally rocked!" Taylor complimented her friend.

They were having the best time, laughing and joking and just chatting. But as Hannah looked over at Sharpay she couldn't help but to approach the girl. She still wanted to get close to her.

"Hey." She said mustering the brightest smile she could.

Sharpay barely acknowledged her and looked back at her friends.

"You don't seem as excited as your friends over there to be here." The younger girl tried again. "Am I that boring?" She asked as a joke, but deep down there was some truth to it. She was terrified Sharpay wouldn't like her.

"I just don't get starstruck that easily." Sharpay nonchalantly.

"Oh that's good. It's nice when people treat us just like norm-" She started but got her sentence cut short by the other girl.

"Only when they are worthy of getting starstruck for." She said with a snotty smirk.

"Wrinkly dog say what?" Hannah said loudly. She couldn't believe her ears. She had been nothing but nice to this girl and she was still being this spiteful person to her.

Everybody stopped what they were doing and turned to pay attention at both of them. Sharpay seemed shocked.

"What did you just call me?" She said dangerously low.

Before Hannah could answer her Ryan popped up in front of her.

"It's actually Sharpay with and A and a Y, not with and E and I like the dog breed and-" He started.

"Shut up Ryan!" Sharpay meanly told her twin. He stop talking immediately and sheepishly step aside.

"Don't tell him to shut up. He was trying to defend you, which by the way I don't know why anyone would want to. You're just a horrible person! I have been nothing but nice to you and you're still treating me like crap!" Hannah wasn't even thinking about what was coming out of her mouth anymore, it was just frustration speaking now.

"Oh boo-hoo. Cry me a river, Popstar." Sharpay spat back.

Everybody was in complete silence. They were too shocked to say anything at all. But as the tension between the two grew Jackson decided to try and break the ice.

"So! Who wants an autographed picture of Hannah Montana?" He attempted.

"I'm out of here. Ryan, come on!" Sharpay said and turned her back to leave. Her poise was still intact as she left the room with her head held high.

Ryan just looked at Hannah and muttered an apology, following his sister.

"I think we should get going too." Troy said.

"Yeah, thanks for everything Hannah. It was the best night ever." Taylor agreed as she took her boyfriend by the hand.

"I love you Hannah!" Chad yelled as Taylor dragged him out of there.

"Gabs?" Troy asked confused when he pulled her by the hand but found her reluctant to move.

"I'll be right there." She smiled at him. He nodded and left too.

Hannah was just looking astonished. She was trying to wrap her head around what had just happened. Gabriella spoke cautiously, not quite finding the right words.

"Hannah, I… She just… Sharpay isn't like that."

"It's okay. I get it."

"No, listen. I know it's hard to believe but she really is a nice girl. I don't know what happened tonight, but I'm really sorry. I haven't been friends with her for long but I know that's not the person she is. She used to be, but she's changed now. I know so. She' a really sweet girl once you get to know her."

Hannah smiled sadly at the brunette. "You're a really good friend."

"I just don't like when people think the worst of her. She's not like that. I swear she isn't." Gabriella pleaded. "I'm really sorry about what happened."

"Thanks. I hope to see y'all again next time I'm here."

Gabriella just nodded with a smile. She then said goodbye and left to join her friends. Jackson closed the door and turned to look at his sister.

"Miles…"

"I just wanna be alone for a bit Jackson. Please." She said in a teary voice as she curled up in the couch.

Her brother nodded in understanding and walked outside, leaving a sobbing girl alone.

We all wanna believe in love
We all wanna believe in something
Bigger than just us
