Third Floor Hallway, Sunday Morning

[its_theclimb]

There were auditions today. Auditions to sing and dance and do fun things in front of everyone!

So naturally, Miley had to practice. It was important to practice! Daddy did it all the time for his concerts, and Aunt Dolly did it for hers, and Mom and Jackson... well, they didn't like singing. But Jackson practiced for his volleyball team!

But Miley didn't want to be a volleyball player; she wanted to be a rock star. So she ran around the hallways with a glittery pink microphone that said HM on it and sang and danced to a song she was making up on the spot. That way she'd be ready for her audition and she could meet the other kids who might be wandering around! Yay!

[[SO OPEN.]]

"Ummm... whatever you said before!"

[iwishiwasbig.livejournal.com]

"I don't know the words," Dave shrugged. "But I do know this other song...."

[its-theclimb.livejournal.com]

Too bad Miley was a CRAZY PERSON, Dave.

She raced forward and leapt onto the bed, then proposed brightly in between bounces, "We should do a duet!"

[iwishiwasbig.livejournal.com]

She potentially just saved herself from A Horse With No Name. Crazy like a fox.

"We should?" Dave asked.

[its-theclimb.livejournal.com]

"We should!"

Bouncing! Bouncing!

"Do you know meta for Aladdin?"

[iwishiwasbig.livejournal.com]

"What's a meta for Aladdin?" Dave asked. That would be a no.

"It's a movie!" Miley said helpfully. "They sing!"

Good thing Dave had her here to share this kind of helpful information, right?

[iwishiwasbig.livejournal.com]

"Nope. Never heard of it," Dave said.

[its-theclimb.livejournal.com]

"That's sad," Miley said. "It's good." Bounce! "Really good!" Bounce! "THIS good!" Then she leapt off her bed and onto Surreal's, where she burst into song.

As he didn't know the lyrics, Dave just watched. He also took a seat on the bed and clapped. It seemed like a pretty good song.

But his focus shifted to his mug, which still didn't have cocoa in it.

[its-theclimb.livejournal.com]

But she did have a glass of chocolate milk filled with cinnamon! Did that help at all?

"Thanks!" Miley gushed, hopping off the bed and giving a little curtsey. "It's the best movie ever!"

[iwishiwasbig.livejournal.com]

Not until it was warm. He was promised HOT cocoa with cinnamon.

"It probably works a little better when there are two people, though," Dave mentioned. "So, about the hot cocoa..."

[its-theclimb.livejournal.com]

"Here!" she said, thrusting out the glass of milk to him. And, yep, that'd be chocolate milk aaall over her pretty rug. Oops. "Just blow on it to make it cool off!"

In addition to being weird, that was also just flat-out wrong, Miley.

[iwishiwasbig.livejournal.com]

"But... it's not even warm," Dave said, feeling the glass.

[its-theclimb.livejournal.com]

"No, it is!" she insisted.

It certainly wasn't.

[iwishiwasbig.livejournal.com]

Dave sipped the drink without blowing on it. "You're a liar!"

[its-theclimb.livejournal.com]

"Am not! Not if you use your 'maginiation!"

[iwishiwasbig.livejournal.com]

"That's not making hot cocoa!" Dave yelled. "That's madness!"

He still drank more. It still wasn't hot.

[its-theclimb.livejournal.com]

"It's creativity!" she sang at him. "Silly!"

[iwishiwasbig.livejournal.com]

"You didn't give me hot cocoa so I don't have to sing," Dave said, standing his ground on this point.

[its-theclimb.livejournal.com]

Miley's face fell. Out came the puppy dog eyes. Look at those puppy dog eyes, Dave. Look at them.

"But all my friends sing," she said. "How can I be friends with someone who can't sing?"

[iwishiwasbig.livejournal.com]

"How can I be friends with someone who promises hot cocoa and gives me cold chocolate milk, eh?" Dave asked.

[its-theclimb.livejournal.com]

"'Cause," she said simply, flopping down on her bed. "I'm adorable."

[iwishiwasbig.livejournal.com]

"Now when you lie about hot cocoa," Dave said.

He finished the glass of chocolate milk.

[its-theclimb.livejournal.com]

Miley squinted at him.

"Did you like that?"
