The Sweet Life of Emily and Mitchel
Chapter 1:
"I never thought I'd fall for such a goof ball," said Emily with a slight giggle as she looked lovingly into Joe's eyes.
Joe stared back into the brilliant blue eyes with a grin on his face. "I knew you would," he replied as he leaned in to kiss her.
"Cut!" called the director.
Nick let out the breath that he had been holding. Obviously, repeating 'It's just a stage kiss, it means nothing' in his mind hadn't calmed him down like Kevin said it would.
"Joe, you don't sound confident enough. Well, let's break for lunch."
Emily turned back to Joe. "Good, I can't kiss my boyfriend's brother on an empty stomach," she said jokingly. Then ran over to get into Nick's arms. He hugged her tight. And after half a minute she pushed away from him and ran over to her trailer.
Nick stood there watching her until her trailer door swung closed.
"You really like her don't you?" Kevin asked his little brother while trying to memorizes his lines for the next scene.
But, Kevin's question was left unanswered because Miley walked over to them just then.
"Hey Nick!" said Miley with a big smile on her face (Kevin was thinking 'Wow! I feel loved'). "Aww, Emily and Joe looked so cute in that scene. It looked like they were really in love," still smiling her enormous smile. But, then she added, "They are such talented actors," when she saw the look on Nick's face.

Meanwhile, in the trailer
Emily walked into her trailer with the intention to make herself a sandwich, but when she saw Mitchel taking a nap on the sofa she got sidetracked. She silently crept into the bathroom and grabbed her shaving cream. She quietly went over to Mitchel's side and put shaving cream in his outstretched hand. Then she very gently ran her finger down his nose. Mitchel reached up in his sleep and smeared the pink shaving cream all over his face.
"What the-" screamed Mitchel waking up because of the coldness of the cream. Emily burst out into a giggle fit. "Oh, now I'm gonna have to get you back!"
The sandwich forgotten, Mitchel turned on the T.V. and ha and Emily ate a bag of chips.

Miley and Joe were hanging out by the edge of the nearby lake.
"So what's new Miss Smiley Miley?" asked Joe as he watched two fish swim between his feet.
Miley hesitated before answering in a soft voice "Nothing . . . " She was looking at the horizon with a blank expression, but Joe knew her too well.
"Destiny Hope Cyrus, look me in the eyes and tell me what's on your mind."
Miley slowly turned to face Joe, "Well there is this boy . . ."
Joe's eyebrow shot up, "Oh?"
"But, I can't have him. He's a taken man," she said quickly before Joe could suggest anything. She let out a fairly loud scream which echoed back at her. "I'm pathetic."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kevin and Nick were walking in town together window shopping.
"So, how long have you and Emily been going out?" asked Kevin, already bored with the poor selection of stores.
Nick was only half listening to his brother because he was looking at a diamond necklace. "One month tomorrow," he answered without even having to think, "Do you think Emily would like this?"
Kevin looked at the necklace. "Those are real diamonds! Nick, don't you think it's too soon for something so expensive?"
But, Nick had already walked into the store.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"So, do you really like Nick?" asked Mitchel.
Emily was surprised by the question. Her and Mitchel were close but she didn't think he knew her that well, she thought he would naturally assume she liked her boyfriend. "Of course I-I-I can't lie to you," she started holding back tears. "He's moving too fast, I don't love him the way he loves me." Her tears were now stinging her eyes. "I don't know what to do."
Mitchel threw his arms around her and held her close as she cried onto his shirt. Mitchel felt bad for Emily, but he couldn't help but feel a slight happiness that she wasn't in love with Nick.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Everybody on set!"
Nick and Kevin were already waiting on set, as Joe and Miley came from the lake both eating a power bar and carrying their shoes. And, Emily and Mitchel came from their trailer. no one could tell that Emily had been crying.
"Alright," called the director after hair and make-up, "this is the scene where Joe shows Nick the song he wrote about Emily."
While Joe, Nick and Kevin filmed their scene, Emily and Mitchel talked by the food table and Miley watched the Jonas Brothers happily.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next morning, Emily was shaken awake by Mitchel.
"Gosh, you sleep through anything," said Mitchel as he passed her her robe.
Emily was still half asleep as she was dragged out of bed. "What's going on?"
"Fire drill," answered Mitchel as he passed Emily her shoes then put on his own.
They both exited their trail and Mitchel held Emily's hand as he led her to the flag pole that they were supposed to go to.
Everyone else was already at the flag pole when Emily and Mitchel, still holding hands, got there.
Nick was glad to see Emily, but was slightly jealous of Mitchel. But, his jealousy soon faded when Emily let go of Mitchel's hand and ran over to Nick.
"Happy one month anniversary!" said Nick smiling down at Emily.
She threw her arms around him and answered, "one month, babe".
He kissed the top of her head and held her close. After a minute, he let go of her and put his hand in his pocket, "I have something for you." He pulled out a wrapped box and gave it to her.
"Oh, but I didn't get you anything," she said sadly looking down at the box.
Nick's smile didn't alter in the least, "that's alright. I found this in town when I went out with Kevin yesterday."
"Thanks," she said as she went on her tippy toes and gave him a kiss. They looked into each others eyes until Emily broke the stare and then opened her present.
"Ummm..." Emily looked sad as she held the diamond necklace in her hand, but only for a brief second. "It's beautiful, but too much for me to take."
She put the necklace back int the box and put it into his hands.
"But-" Nick started, but Emily had already ran off.
He just stood there watching her as she went over to Mitchel, and watched as Emily. They were too far away for him to heat what they were talking about. After two full, agonizing minutes, Nick felt a hand on his shoulder.
Nick didn't turn to see who it was, he already knew.
"You moved to fast again," Kevin wasn't trying to rub it in, but it had to be said. "You scared him off, she's not going to be coming back to you." He tried to catch his brother's expression, but Nick wouldn't look at him.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Mitchel, it was beautiful. It was all diamonds and pure gold. It must have cost a fortune, engagement ring expensive. I'm too young to be engaged, especially not after only one month. He's too much for me! I need to break up with him!"
Emily and Mitchel were back in their trailer. Emily was lying on the couch and Mitchel was sitting on a chair beside the couch.
"You don't love him, it's only fair for you to end it." Mitchel glanced at Emily longingly.
Emily caught Mitchel looking at her, and she knew at that moment that he felt the same way about her as she did him. So, she sat up, leaned over and kissed him.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Emily and Nick are over," said Joe to Miley as they sat by the lake eating lunch.
Joe couldn't help but see the happiness in Miley's eyes when she managed to not smile.
"That's a -"
"You like Nick!" Joe interrupted.
Miley's eyes grew big and her mouth hung open.
"Oh My Gosh! You like Nick!" Joe practically screamed.
Miley quickly reached over to cover his mouth so he couldn't shout anymore, but the damage was already done. Nick had heard.
