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.]]

"Like hot cocoa?" she asked. "'Cause I think it's more fun to play!"

Dave just stared.

"I don't understand you."

"It's 'cause I'm from the South," she told him knowingly. "Where are you from?"

[iwishiwasbig.livejournal.com]

"Wisconsin," Dave said suspiciously quickly.

[its-theclimb.livejournal.com]

"That's in Europe, right?"

[iwishiwasbig.livejournal.com]

"...No. America," Dave said.

Yeah, her geography skills wouldn't improve all that much with time, either.

"Up or down?"

[iwishiwasbig.livejournal.com]

"Upper Midwest," Dave said. "Close to Chicago?"

Miley looked blank.

"That's not a real place," she informed him after a moment of scrutiny.

[iwishiwasbig.livejournal.com]

"Chicago? Yes it is, I've been there," Dave said.

[its-theclimb.livejournal.com]

"Have not."

"You don't even know the difference between hot and cold," Dave said.

[its-theclimb.livejournal.com]

Burn, Dave. Burn.

"I do so," Miley retorted, sticking her tongue out at him. "But I can 'magine it to be different. So there."

[iwishiwasbig.livejournal.com]

Only freezerburn since the milk was cold.

"I don't believe you," Dave said.

[its-theclimb.livejournal.com]

"Well, you should," she retorted. "'Cause it's true."

It certainly was not true.

"Well I don't, eh," Dave said, hopping off the bed. "I'm gonna go get real hot cocoa."

[its-theclimb.livejournal.com]

And leave without a kiss? GASP.

"Okay," Miley said, shrugging. "Guess you can't see the rest of the concert."

[iwishiwasbig.livejournal.com]

Girls were icky anyway.

"Okay. I want hot cocoa more than music anyway."

[its-theclimb.livejournal.com]

And boys were stupid.

"Bye!" she called after him, then got up to prepare for her next number. Maybe she'd tap-dance this time!
