Miley was awaken in the morning by a knock on her door. She groaned and turned over looking at the clock beside her bed. 6:07 a.m. She sighed and got up. She couldn't think of anyone who got up this early, much less knock on her apartment door.
"Just a minute!" She screamed. She threw a robe over her Pj's and walked to the door. She was surprised when she opened it.
"Good morning Miley." Emily said. Her eyes were red and puffy like she had been crying. Miley nodded and said stiffly,
"Would you like to come in?" Emily nodded and stepped in. Miley sat down in a chair while Emily sat down on the couch. She got straight to the point.
"Miley, I'm sorry for what I said the other day. Its just that, The reason I liked Kelly so much is because I know there's no way she could take my Oliver away. He didn't love her. Then you come along. And my heart went in overdrive. If anyone could take Oliver away it was you. You two hadn't seen each other in years and were still comfortable around each other. I thought if I could scare you off then Oliver would never leave me. You were the biggest threat imaginable. But then I realized by scaring you off, I was not only losing someone who was like a daughter, but my son and husband." Miley nodded not really sure what to say. Emily continued to talk.
"So please don't me stand in the way of you and Oliver. I love you both and would love you to be in the family." Miley hugged Emily and said,
"Thank you Mrs. Oken. But I honestly don't think things are going to work out between me and Oliver, Were so different now and not as comfortable around each other as it seems. Deep down I know I still love him. But I don't know if I could find it. I don't really know him anymore. I fell in love with a boy. But now he's a man. A man I don't really know." Miley said sadly. "I really want to know him. More than anything. But everyone is pressuring us to marry. Its starting to feel like an arranged marriage."
"Miley, why don't you to take time to get to know each other and take it from there?" Emily asked.
"Because I'm afraid I won't love him. Mrs. Oken, I've got a lot to think about. I'll call you tomorrow okay? Then we can all get together for real. Ummmm are you and Mr. Oken-
"We're fine. We talked it out with a little help from Lilly."
"Lilly! And I'm glad you to worked it out I really thought it was over."
"So did I Miley. But never forget something." Emily said.
"What?" Miley asked.
"True Love never dies." With that Olivia left leaving Miley to her thoughts.

Oliver was awoken by his door bell ringing from downstairs. He groaned and got out of bed. He got dressed and walked down the massive stairway.
"MOM? Why are you waking me up at seven thirty in the morning!"
"No time Oliver. I suggest you listen to me. It's about Miley." Emily said. Oliver studied her face.
"What? Gonna cal her some more mean names?" Oliver asked coldly.
"No. Me and her had a little talk this morning. Were okay." Emily said sitting down.
"Good! So why are you here than...?" Oliver asked. Emily turned to Oliver.
"Do you love Miley? I mean LOVE as in you would marry her tomorrow if you could. I know I'm not the person you would normally talk to but if you want to stay with Miley, I suggest you talk to me."
" Yes I love Miley. Always have. She had me wrapped around her finger from the first time she spoke to me! But there's always a few doubts. We're not the same people as we used to be. I know I love her." Oliver said then added quietly to himself. "I do. I know I do."
"Well, if you don't want to loose her, I suggest you go talk to her right now. You two have reservations at Chestino's Italian restaurant tonight at seven sharp. Bye Oliver I love you." Emily said standing up to leave.
"Bye. Love you Mom." Oliver said. After she left he stood up and grabbed his keys. He ran out the door and ran to his car. The only thing he was thinking as he drove to her apartment was that he wasn't letting her go again. But first he had to stop to make. He needed to talk to Robbie Ray.

Miley was awaken (She went back to bed again) by someone knocking on the door again. She screamed and walked to the door.
"Hey Miles. Nice Pj's." Oliver said smirking. Miley looked down and saw she was wearing a Hello Kitty tank top and shorts. She blushed and said,
"There's nothing wrong with Hello Kitty Oliver!" His smirk was wider now,
"Oh yeah. Except the fact its for four years old, and is a fuzzy white TALKING cat! She bit her tongue to keep from laughing.
"Oh go ahead and laugh you know you want to." Oliver said.
"No." Miley said.
"It's okay I won't make fun of your Hello Kitty OR your fuzzy widdle teddy bear!" Oliver said motioning to Beary the stuffed bear she had under her arm. She hit him in the arm.
"Why are you here any way!" Miley asked.
"What? Can't a guy come see his woman without getting ambushed with questions?" Oliver asked.
"OLIVER!"
"Ok we need to talk." Oliver said. Miley felt her heart sink. The four most hated words on the planet. She sighed.
"Ok. Come on in." He plopped down on the couch.
"Nice place." He said.
"Oh Oliver just go ahead and say it." Miley snapped. Oliver raised a eyebrow.
"Say what?"
"Say 'Miley you're a wonderful person but I think it would be better if we just friends'!"
"Wow sounds like you've heard that a lot."
"You don't know the half of it." Miley muttered.
"I really would like to know the half I don't."
"What?" Miley asked confused. Oliver held out a ring. Miley gasped. He smiled.
"Be Mine. Forever?" He asked. She smiled and looked down and recognized the ring. She felt tears spring to her eyes. It was her Mother's engagement ring. He continued.
"This isn't a proposal. It's a promise. A promise we won't let true love die. And will get married when we're ready." Oliver said with a smile. She wiped her tears and said,
"Yes. It's a promise." He leaned over and kissed her. After a minute they broke apart. He held her and she smiled. She loved the feeling she had in his arms. A feeling that someone loved her and she was protected. She stayed in his arms until someone rang the doorbell at noon. She stood up to find Jackson at the door. He took one look at her at started to sing the Hello Kitty theme song,
"HELLO, HELLO KITTY, PLAY WITH US TODAY. WE'LL LAUGH AND SING ON THIS LOVELY SUNNY DAY. ALL YOUR FRIENDS ARE WAITING FOR YOU, READY TO RUN AND PLAY-
"SHUT UP!" Miley screamed hitting him in the arm. He had tears in his eyes but not from the pain in the hit, but from laughing so hard at her pajama's. She glared and let him in. Oliver was trying hard not to laugh. Miley glared and Oliver said to Jackson,
"You know Jackson, I don't know why your picking on her. I remember you having a pair of Blue's Clues pajama's back when I was in Middle school! How did that song go again Miley?" Miley smiled and they both burst into song,
"Come on in What did you say? "A clue, a clue!" You see a clue? Another Blue's Clues day, hooray!
Do you wanna play . . .Blue's Clues! 1-2-3! (1-2-3) And clap your hands (clap your hands)-
"SHUT IT OKEN!" Jackson screamed. Oliver shut his mouth.
"Learn something new! (Something new) Join our Blue's Clues band, Today! It's-
"YOU TOO MILEY!" Jackson screamed. She closed her mouth but continued to hum it. Jackson glared at her so she stopped.
"The reason I'm here is to tell you that Dad wants to see you. Says no one was answering the phones and he wanted me to go over here first. But don't worry he made sure I knew to knock at least twenty times before walking in. And that if I heard anything noises to leave. Unless it was a robber than I was told to burst in a beat in his head." Jackson said casually picking at his nails.
"Jackson! GO!" Miley said. Jackson cast a glance between the couple and said,
"No I think I better stay and help Oken watch where he puts his hands."
"Jackson! Leave! NOW!" Miley yelled.
"Nah. I'm comfortable." Miley just sighed and sat back down. Oliver put his arm around her waist and she put her arm around his shoulders while Jackson put in a movie. He turned around and took one look at them before saying in a disgusted voice,
"See that's why I have to be here. Except it seems Miles is the one I gotta watch."(He didn't notice Oliver arm around her waist.) She smiled at her brother and took her arm off his shoulder. Halfway through the movie (After about a million glances at them from Jackson) He glanced at them again.
"OKEN!" Oliver turned away from Pirates of the Carribean to see Jackson standing in front of him.
"Yes." he asked innocently. Jackson grabbed his arm and said through gritted teeth,
"Keep. Your. Hands. Off. My. Baby. Sister." With that he glared so intensely with anger at Oliver that he immediately moved to the opposite end of the couch. Miley stood up.
"You know what Oliver? Lets go."
"What? Where?" Oliver asked.
"Lets go see my Daddy we kinda forgot all about him." Oliver nodded and they left the apartment. Miley ran up to the door and opened it. She ran to her father and threw her arms around him almost knocking him down.
"Love ya to bud." He said laughing. She looked up with tears in her eyes and said,
"Daddy I missed you." He laughed and said,
"Honey, I just saw you a six days ago."
"I know but it's been like forever!" Miley said. Oliver shook hands with Robbie Ray. Robbie Ray pointed to Miley and mouthed, "crazy!" Oliver stifled back a laugh and nodded.
"So bud, I here your engaged." Robbie Ray said. She looked up and said,
"I'm promised Daddy!" he laughed,
"Sounds like the same thing to me. Engagement is basically a promise. A promise to get married and spend the rest of your life's together." Robbie Ray said.
"Well promise sounds better. Daddy, thanks for giving him the ring to give to me." Miley said. He kissed the top of her head,
"Wouldn't have it any other way bud." She smiled and hugged her Father. Oliver smiled and left them to talk. He was sitting out on the front porch when he heard a familiar sound. Skateboard wheels. He turned to see Lilly. She may be older, but when Oliver saw that sight it reminded him of their middle school days. He highly regretted the choices he had made in high school. When he watched Lilly skateboarding he could picture the thirteen year old girl he knew so well. She ran up the porch. And sat down.
"Oliver, your week is up." He nodded. She sat there,
"Sooooo...are you engaged?" She asked.
"No." He said. She glared at him.
"But we are 'promised'." He said.
"What is that suppose to mean?" She asked.
"It means we promise to always be together and to get married." Oliver said.
"So your engaged." Lilly said a slow smile spreading on her face.
"If you wanna call it that then yes." Oliver said.
"YES!" Lilly screamed. Oliver looked at her and said,
"So now are you going to tell me why you were so impatient for us to get married?"
"Yes. The reason is because...ME AND JACKSON ARE GETTING MARRIED!" Lilly squealed.
"WHAT! I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW YOU WERE DATING!" Oliver screamed.
"Well we didn't want to tell until It became serious. And it's serious."
"But what's this have to do with Me proposing to Miley?" Oliver asked confused.
"We want a double wedding with you guys." Lilly said.
"Oh Miley will like that idea." Oliver said. "But do you think Jackson could handle watching his sister get married?"
"Aw he will be okay." Lilly said smiling. At that moment Miley screamed at Lilly and the two ran upstairs to do Miley's hair. Oliver smiled and shook his head laughing.

Oliver sat at Chestino's Italian restaurant waiting for Miley. He frowned and watched the candle flame. He could feel the heat of it from his seat. He got lost watching it until,
"Oliver? Oliver? OLIVER OKEN!" He slowly looked up to see Miley. He gasped.
"Y-you look great!" He said trying not to stare. Her dress was bright green and flowed unevenly at her knees. Half her hair was pinned elegantly on the top of her head and the rest fell in curls. She smiled.
"Thank you." He pulled her seat out for her and sat down.
"So! Did your Mom come talk to you today?" Oliver answered. She smiled the smile she always saved for him.For a brief second he saw thirteen year old Miley laughing.And from that point on, they new that everything was going to work out fine. And to believe this all happened because of a simple Slumber Party...
