Actually managed to get this chapter out on time! This is set a few months on from the last chapter we're moving on a bit more! Thank you to the reviewers and people who are STILL! (THANK YOU!) favouriting the story and especially to everyone of those who read it. It still means a lot to me. I apologise now for the amount of dialogue, then next few chapters after this get a lot more detailed. Let's get cracking!

Foreigner – Hot Blooded

Hot blooded, every night
Hot blooded, you're looking so tight
Hot blooded, now you're driving me wild
Hot blooded, I'm so hot for you, child
Hot blooded, I'm a little bit high
Hot blooded, you're a little bit shy
Hot blooded, you're making me sing
Hot blooded, for your sweet, sweet thing.

A few months had gone by and the media had finally calm back to a tolerable level and Miley and Lilly found themselves sitting with their friends on their last day of school.

"Can you believe it? We're official graduates!" Joannie said, waving her lunch about.

"Oh God I know, since when are we old enough to go to college?" Miley said.

"Since when are you old enough to be one of the most famous people on the planet?" Lilly joked.

"You're slowly becoming one Lilly." Joannie said with a raised eyebrow, chewing on her sandwich.

"What are you talking about Joannie?"

"Actually it's true." Piped up Sarah, who until now, had been quiet. "I mean check out the magazines you're in." Sarah produced several from her bag and dumped them on the table.

"Wow." Lilly said picking one up. "Look Miles, I'm famous." She pointed at a picture of herself skateboarding along a road.

"Yes Lilly, you're famous, funny that."

"If they're following you around this much then I think we better watch ourselves a bit more."

"Does that mean..."

"Do not finish that sentence Lilly." Joannie warned with a cheeky grin. "I have seen what you two get up to; I certainly don't need to hear the gory details."

"Well, if it isn't messy then you're not doing something right." Lilly said deftly before taking a large bit from her hotdog.

That night senior prom had arrived, celebrating the end of the girl's high school years. Miley and Lilly had agreed that they would get ready separately, Miley would stay at the barn and Lilly would go to a hotel with Heather.

Lilly was standing in the bathroom, try to do up the last part of her underwear, she was stuck and knew she was going to need her Mother's help. Lilly sighed to herself; this was the one thing she wanted to avoid. "Mum?" She called, holding her top half in place.

"Yes?" Heather said putting her magazine down and walking towards the bathroom.

"Can you help me?"

"Yeah." Heather opened the door to find a very embarrassed Lilly, stuck in what she could only describe as very erotic underwear. "Right." She said, her eyes scanning her daughter's body before reaching her Lilly's very red face. "What did you need me for?"

"Mum, I need to adjust the back and I can't do the ribbon up."

"Jesus Christ Lilly." Heather looked at her daughter who refused to give her eye contact. Lilly was wearing a black lace up corset that accentuated her full figure even more.

"I know, I didn't want you to see this."

"Turn around." Heather began fiddling with various parts of the corset, winching her daughter in. "Where on earth did you get this?"

"A shop." She said as the breath was nearly forced out of her. "Mum!" She wheezed. "I need to be able to breathe!"

"Shut up moaning, you'll be fine." Heather pulled the ribbon straight and began to lace it up. "Miley certainly is a very lucky girl. You're gonna have one hell of a night."

"Mum!" Lilly squealed and turn around, still holding herself in place.

"What? Lilly listen to me, you're 18, old enough to have sex in the eyes of the law and let's be honest, you and Miley are sexually active."

"This is mortifying. Please kill me."

"Oh darling, you share a room, I know you share a bed and I also know how Robbie found out about you two."

"Oh." Lilly pulled a face.

"Oh indeed, he also asked your Father and I if we were happy letting you share a room. Good thing I said yes wasn't it?" Heather peered round Lilly's shoulder with a large grin.

"Mum, I don't think you could make this anymore awkward if you tried."

"Lilly, you know I'm no good at this sort of thing, I never really gave you the chat when you were with Oliver, I suppose that's what I'm trying to do now. You know how to put a condom on right?"

"Because that's so useful when I'm going down..." Lilly drew out the last word, realising what she had just said. "Ignore that; ignore me, could you finish doing that up please." Lilly turned around once more, desperate to hide her bright red face.

Heather continued altering the back of Lilly's underwear. "Lilly..."

"God Mum, no."

"Lilly, all I want is for you to be safe."

"Trust me Mum, we're fine."

"Promise me one thing."

"Anything to end this conversation."

"Don't get pregnant."

Lilly looked at her Mother with a bemused expression before they simultaneously burst in to laughter.

A silent tear fell down Miley's cheek as she put the finishing touches to her make-up; it was times like this when she missed her Mother the most. She should have been here to see this moment; Miley picked up the frame and kissed it.

"She's with you Mile." Robbie said from the doorway.

Miley jumped, almost dropping the picture in the process. "Dad! You scared me."

"Sorry bud." He walked over and placed his hand on Miley's back. "I know how much you miss her. We all do."

"I just want Mum to be proud of me." Miley bowed her head.

"You know she is. We all are."

"I just wondered if she would have accepted me."

"Miley, don't be silly, your Mama and I always said we'd love you for who you are and we do."

"I know, it's just one of those days where everyone moans about how their Mum fusses over them, I wish they'd appreciate it, God knows I would give anything for it." Miley's voice rose an octave as tears threatened once more.

"Just think of the happy times Miles, she's still with you, I promise that. Just think of those weird dreams that you have."

Miley spluttered as she tried to laugh. "Yeah, tell me about it."

"Do you need any help getting your dress on?"

"As kind as that is Dad I'd rather you didn't. Would you mind if Lori helped me put it on?"

"No." He smiled. "Of course not. To be honest that wouldn't have been the most comfortable of thing for me either."

"Thanks Dad."

"Fuck me!" Miley said in surprise as she opened to door to see her girlfriend standing front of her. Lilly had a one shoulder, sleek metallic grey dress, with a slit up one side.

"Miley!" Robbie yelled from across the room.

Lilly kissed Miley before giving her a hug. "Gladly, but later."

Miley pulled away, slightly red from Lilly's comment. "You look so hot!" He eyes immediately focusing on Lilly's chest.

"I think you might need to look at the rest of dress first." Lilly laughed, her soft curls bouncing off her shoulders.

"Na, that's fine, I just need to inspect this part a bit closer."

"Down Miley." Heather laughed as she pushed past the girls in to Miley's house.

"Hey Mrs. T." Heather just shook her head and went over to Robbie to see what food he had.

Lilly looked at the front of Miley's dress approvingly. It was so different, cut low at the front with a laced part really showed off Miley's best assets. "I love the print." She reached out and touched the material. "Turn around Miles, how low does that dress go?"

Miley swizzled round and looked over her shoulder. "Not that low."

"That's low." Lilly raised her eyebrow.

"Do you like it?" Miley said turning back around to face Lilly.

"Yes, it's gorgeous; where did you get it, and more to the point how did you hide that from me?"

"Roberto made it for me and Sienna hid it."

"Roberto as in Cavalli?" Lilly knew Miley wore expensive dresses to the awards and everything else in between but to a school prom?

"Yeah."

"Jesus, for God sakes don't spill anything on it!" Lilly watched Miley's eyebrow begin to rise. "No." She pointed a finger with a smirk.

"Where did you get this one from anyway?" Miley traced the curve of Lilly's breast with her finger. "It's beautiful. Suit's you."

"Mum and I went shopping in the sales ages ago, I thought it would do."

"It does that and more. It's so simple." Miley admired.

"I can barely breathe thanks to..."

Before she could finish the sentence or Miley even ask Robbie called out. "Ladies!" He held up a camera and pointed to it. "Photo time."

"Ah, great!" Lilly moaned as Miley pulled her by the hand over to the couch. "Not so fast women! I've got heels on!"

"Get used to it, the amount of awards and Grammys you'll be coming to, you'll have to learn to walk in them."

"Great."

"This feels a bit different to our junior prom." Lilly said linking her hand with Miley's as they approached the doors.

"I know, you had Oliver." Miley smiled and gave Lilly a nudge.

"I know, scary how things change, shame he hasn't made it. I suppose he's still on tour." Although Lilly harboured no romantic feelings for him, he was still her best guy friend; she wanted to finish the year with him completing the trio.

"Ready?" Miley said as they were a couple of steps away from the doors.

"I think after the past few months we can handle this." Lilly saw Miley looking and lent in for a peck. "Okay. Let's do this."

They walked in to find a Karen Kunkle looking highly attractive in a simple cut black dress with her blonde curls being allowed out of their usual prison. "Wow, looking good Miss Kunkle." Miley said without thinking as she and Lilly approached the table.

"Why thank you." She beamed a smile at them. Miley and Lilly must have looked shocked at she let out a never heard before laugh. "Hey, I'm quite nice out of the classroom. You two look stunning I must say, you make quite the couple."

Lilly gave a large smile, her pearly whites almost illuminating the hallway. "Thank you."

"In you go then." She opened the door for them and watched as Lilly disappeared through with Miley following.

"Miss Stewart, that dress is rather low cut."

"Ah, Old Kunkle will never die." She said to her now ex teacher with a large grin.

Lilly laughed as she heard her girlfriend give Miss Kunkle some cheek just once more. "I told you. Still, you look good. Oh joy." Lilly stopped. "More photographs."

"This one goes in the yearbook so suck it up."

"All right." Lilly allowed herself to be led once more for photographs. It occurred to her how Miley had become much more comfortable in herself since she came out as Hannah.

"Lilly?" Miley's voice broke Lilly out her thoughts.

"Sorry."

"Hey." The photographer looked up from behind his camera before ducking back down. He slowly came back up. "You're not who I think you are, are you?"

"Yes." Miley rolled her eyes.

"Don't worry." The loud voice of Mr. Corelli boomed across to them. "He won't say a thing, or sell a thing." He turned to look at the photographer, who on closer inspection, looked like a college graduate. "Will you?" The poor boy looked terrified. He shook his head quickly.

"Mr. Corelli!" Both girls squealed as he made his way over.

"Good to see you! You both look so grown up." He placed an arm around either girl's waist. "How about a photo for your favourite teacher?"

"Of course." Miley smiled. All three turned towards the college boy who took a quick snap.

"I'll let you girls carry on, I'll see you later." He waved goodbye and disappeared.

"You ready?" The young boy asked.

"Yeah. Smile Lil, this one's a keeper." They wrapped an arm around each other and revealed their pearly whites.

"Okay."

"Come on then." Miley took Lilly's hand as they walked in to the vast crowd that was their year group. "I let Joannie set our table up, so I guess we've got the hockey team with us."

"You assume wrong." Joannie popped up from behind them, making both of them jump. "Hey guys. You both look good." Her eyes flicked over them. "If I was gay I'd sure wanna fuck you."

"Charmed." Lilly laughed. "If that came from anyone else but you I'd thump them."

"You're looking rather good Joannie." Miley admired, she knew that Joannie stayed in shape, but never knew how shapely she really was. "You've got a figure to die for."

"Thanks. Come on, you're the last pair."

"Who are we sitting with?"

"Well, you've got me, Sarah, Rachel, Chad, Todd and Johnny."

"Thank God, I thought you were gonna say Amber and Ashley."

"Fuck no, what are you, crazy?" She laughed and guided them over.

"Thanks. Hi everyone." Miley gave a small, awkward wave.

"Don't you guys look great?" Johnny said with a smile before getting up to pull their chairs out.

"Thank you." Lilly said leaning to place her bag down. Todd was so glad to be sitting down or everyone would see his predicament. He couldn't help but stare at Lilly, she was so beautiful, he wanted her so badly but he knew there was no chance. At least he knew now why Miley was so funny towards him when he asked Lilly out.

"Hey Dude." Chad whispered, noticing the trouble his friend was having. "It does help if you look away."

"Shut it."

The night began to close and the last slow song was being played and the respected couples took to the floor once more. Miley and Lilly were in the middle of everyone, smiling softly at one another. Lilly had her hands resting on the crest of Miley's hips, just so she could occasionally slip them onto her cool skin. "Don't do that." Miley shivered under Lilly's touch. "That turns me on no end."

Lilly gave a knowing smile. "I like it, your skin is so soft and smooth."

"You like every part of me."

"Even the modest parts." Lilly placed a kiss on Miley's lips.

Miley moaned as she pulled away, her hands stroking the nape of Lilly's neck as they swayed to the music.

"I guess this is the end of this part of our lives."

"Oh God Lilly, don't be so morbid, look at it as the start of the beginning of a new chapter."

"Sounds very poetic."

"Songwriter." Miley and Lilly laughed simultaneously before sharing a long, loving kiss.

"Woooo!" Lilly screamed as she jumped off the table and into the sand.

"Seriously, what is your girlfriend doing?"

"I dunno." Miley took another sip of some insipid drink she had been given.

"Do you think she's okay?" Sarah looked at Miley.

"She's drunk." Miley said flatly. "And I think I'm on my way there."

"Dudes!" Joannie yelled as she placed her arms around Sarah and Miley. "You so have to see what the guys are doing!"

"I think I'm okay here thanks." Sarah said.

"What?" Miley watched as Joannie snatched her cup out of her hands and chugged the rest.

"What?" Joannie looked blank.

"What?"

"What?"

"You two really need to stop drinking, you're making no sense."

"Liven up you sissy. Have a drink, you'll regret it if you don't." Joannie held the cup and shook it at Sarah. She looked less than amused; Joannie didn't even notice that it didn't have anything it.

"No thanks, you'll be the ones regretting it tomorrow."

"Oh my God!" Lilly said walking over before standing in front of Miley. "You'll never guess who I've just seen with Amber!" Lilly didn't wait for a response. "Jake Ryan! They're almost naked over there!" She pointed a drunken finger.

"I didn't think he was back." Miley looked around, trying to catch a glimpse of her ex and nemesis.

"We could go over there and..." Lilly said bending down, attempting to kiss Miley. She missed. "Whoops." She lent in again but knocked Miley flat on the floor, bringing herself down with her.

"Lilly! Maybe we should go to the hotel."

"No! It's only... Actually I have no idea. But can I have that kiss now?" Lilly placed a sloppy kiss on Miley's lips, but being on the verge of drunk, Miley couldn't care less.

"Get a room!" Joannie yelled at them as Sarah shifted uncomfortably.

Miley gave a moan as Lilly pulled her bottom lip.

"Dudes! Check out Miley and Lilly!" Gabe Lamotti yelled, a beer in hand and a pointing finger sticking out. "That is so hot."

"Shit man." A couple of Gabe's friends had gathered to watch the two girls make out. "Do you reckon they're gonna do it?"

"I hope so." Another replied.

"Yo Lilly!" Joannie tapped her friend's shoulder. "You might wanna get up; half the guys have boners thanks to you two."

Lilly pushed herself away from Miley, her hair tousled and lipstick smudged. "Hey get up Miles, let's dance." Lilly knew on the inside that she was acting ridiculously but thanks to the beauty of alcohol, she couldn't care less. A moan came from her girlfriend. "It's one of your favourite songs!"

"No, Lilly time."

"No let's go!"

"Okay." Miley reluctantly hauled herself up from the ground and over to the area where the band had played earlier, thankfully (and gratefully) Miley hadn't been asked to play. Lilly merrily started grinding her body against Miley's, enjoying the beat of the song. "Come on Miles, move those hips! I know you can!" Lilly yelled over the music as she grasped her lover's hips.

"Hey Mileyyy..." Jake drawled out as he came staggering over, a beer sloshing over him in the process. "Lilly's right, you can move your hips."

"Fuck off Jerky." Miley yelled back at him before turning her body away, she was drunk, but she knew that she wanted nothing to do with her ex boyfriend. He was a cheat who wanted nothing more to get in to her pants.

"That's not very nice." Jake moved closer. "I'm your friend." He tried to grab Miley's hips.

"Back off." Lilly pushed him drunkly, even with a half arsed effort she managed to knock him on the floor.

Jake pulled himself upright and once more tried his luck with Miley, this time successfully managing to grab a breast. "Jake get off!" She tried to move away.

"Miley, you know you want me."

"She said get off!" Jake felt two hands pulled him back before a fist connected with his jaw. "You are the most obnoxious, pig headed, arse hole I've ever met." The figure turned around to a wobbly Miley and Lilly. "You have no idea how long I've wanted to do that."

"Oliver!" The both shouted and launched themselves at him, knocking him flat down.

"Hey!" He wrapped his arms around them both. "I've missed you!" He tightened his grip.

"Ollie, if you squeeze any tighter I'm gonna throw up." Lilly said as she fought to keep her stomach down.

"Sorry." He let both of his friends go before standing up. "I've missed you guys."

"We've missed you too! Where have you been and why haven't you called us?" Lilly hit him with all the drunken force he could muster.

"Oww!" Oliver rubbed his arm. "I've been on tour, but I had to come back for this. I'm glad I did too." He glared at Jake who was rolling around on the floor clutching his face.

"You're our knight in shining armour." Lilly hugged him gleefully.

"Thank you Ollie." Miley smiled and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Come on, let's get a drink and go for a walk."

"Wow, some night." Miley said as she turned over to face Lilly.

"Yeah, fabulous." She said hanging her head over the side of the bed. "My God my head hurts."

"That'll be the alcohol." Miley said rubbing her hand over Lilly's back. "Do you remember anything?" She sniggered as Lilly rolled back over, closing her eyes to stop the room spinning.

"Yes. I'll never forget Oliver hitting Jake, if only I had that on video." She sniggered to herself. "Highlight of my year."

"I hope it left a mark." Miley said with a frown on her face.

"So do I, should dent his uber ego. We got any water Miles? My throats so dry." Lilly slowly pulled herself up to look around. "Holy fuck, what happened to my underwear?" She stared at the expensive corset that now lay on the carpet in three parts.

"Now that I liked." Miley said walking back from the fridge. "No wonder why your rack looked so big."

"You bet have not of wrecked that." She said before taking a sip of water.

"Actually that was you." Miley climbed back in to bed. "Apparently it laces up in many places." She raised an eyebrow at Lilly who was staring. "You stood there and undid it for me." She gave a smirk.

"I did, didn't I? Did I sing to you at some point?" Miley smiled again. "Oh God, I did."

"I wouldn't worry Lilly; that was some of the best sex we've ever had, despite you not remembering most of it."

"I remember how you screamed and howled when you came. I also remember how your back arched so much you pushed yourself further and further on me. Trust me, I remember." Lilly took another sip before putting her water down.

Miley pulled Lilly back down. "Come here."

"What are you doing?" Lilly watched as Miley put a leg either side of her.

"I seem to think that last night was rather one sided. Maybe this will cure your hangover."
