A/N This is my first HM FF, so I hope you enjoy it! Please review!
"Lilly, did you hear?" Miley screamed as she ran to Lilly's locker. She was holding a piece of hot pink paper with bold lettering printed across the front. She waved it in front of Lilly's face as she bounced up and down.
"Hear what?" Lilly asked, placing a hand on Miley's head to make her stop jumping.
"There's gonna be a beauty pageant right here in Malibu! It's for girls ages 12-15! That's us! We're ages 12-15!" Miley yelled in Lilly's face, bouncing up and down again. She held the paper out so Lilly could see.
"A beauty pageant?" Lilly repeated. "I don't know if you've noticed, Miley, but I'm not exactly beauty pageant material." She indicated her baggy dark green cargo pants and orange shirt, which was layered underneath a tight green sweatshirt.
Miley looked at Lilly's clothes.
"Hmmm." She said. "We can work around that." She put her arm around Lilly's shoulders and began walking. "Walk with me." She said.
They started to walk down the hallway of their school, which was crowded with people standing at their lockers and roaming around, socializing with their friends. Tons of excited-looking girls held a hot pink piece of paper identical to the one in Miley's hand.
"Come on Lilly, you'll have fun." Miley said pleadingly, waving the paper in front of Lilly's face again.
"Give me that." Lilly said, and tore the paper out of Miley's hand. She looked it over. It read:

"Well that's probably the stupidest thing I've ever heard of." Lilly said flatly when she finished reading the letter aloud. "And what's with all the exclamation points? I mean, do ya really need one at the end of every sentence? Who wrote this letter? Cuz whoever it was needs to go through Mr. Harbie's English Class."
"Oh come on Lilly, it can't be that bad." Miley said, bringing out her infamous puppy-dog pout. No one can say no to the puppy-dog pout. They stopped walking. "Will you please do it? For me?" She pleaded, shoving her face up towards Lilly's, her pout never disappearing.
"Oh, no, not the puppy-dog pout! No one can say no to that!" Lilly whined, trying to shove Miley's face away.
"Then say yes!" Miley said enthusiastically, pulling her face back from Lilly's.
"Miley, why do you want me to be in this pageant? Is this one of those, "It's to spend more time together" things? Cuz we all know how those work out." Lilly said, remembering the time Miley tried to get her to join cheerleading.
"Well, we would get to spend tons more time together. And you know you would have fun, Lills. Please? Please? Please? Please? Don't make me get down on my knees. Cuz you know I will." Miley said, crouching down.
Lilly rolled her eyes and sighed. "Fine! I'll do this whole pageant deal. Just put away the puppy-dog pout and stand up!" Lilly said, pulling on Miley's arm.
"Yay!" Miley said, clapping her hands together. "It's gonna be so much fun, Lilly! We get to dress up in long, flowing gowns." She said, spreading her arms apart. "We get to be real live models!"
"Well it would be kind of hard to be dead models." Oliver said, walking up behind the two of them. "What are you guys talking about?"
"Lilly and I are going to be in a beauty pageant!" Miley said excitedly, turning to face him.
"A beauty pageant?" Oliver said disbelievingly. He looked at Lilly, who nodded her head slowly. "Uhh, guys, I don't think that's such a good idea. I've heard about those. Girls go into pageants as best friends but come out as worst enemies."
"Come on, Oliver, that's never gonna happen to us. Me and Lilly are like this." Miley said as she tried to cross her fingers. She couldn't quite get her middle finger over her index finger, so she said, "Well, we're really tight. BFFs!"
"Hey, I warned you." He said as he walked away.
"Miley, you don't think that'll happen to us, do you?" Lilly asked timidly.
"No way! Lilly, we're like, best friends! Forever! Nothing, not even a silly little pageant, can change that. And you know it!" Miley said.
"Yeah, I know." Lilly said with a smile. And the two best friends linked arms and wet to Math Class, talking about the pageant.
