Hi to you all! ;p This is another joined fic between MelleG and Stessa, (I'm writing ´another´, because this is the second one), and yeah, we actually thought a lot about this story. We worked a long time on our story-line at the characters, but all we can say right now, (because we don't want to ruin the story) is that it's a Troypay story. It's with all our favourite High School Musical characters, but there will be guests from "Hannah Montana", "The Suite Life of Zack & Cody" and "That's So Raven". We know it might seem a little out there, but give this story a chance. We both wanted to write something different for a chance, and this story is kinda crazy. But please, please; do READ!
Disclaimer; We don't own High School Musical, Hannah Montana and The Suite Life of Zack & Cody. We don't own Jesse McCartney either. Plus, we don't own Hannah Montana's songs… Plus Ashley Tisdale's – as you can see; there's a lot we don't own! ;p
The Crazy Life of Libby Lee
Chapter 1.
Why Don't You Kiss the Best of Both Worlds?
"Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God!" Lola said, bouncing up and down, "Gosh, Hannah, there's so many people out there. How come you never get nervous!? It's like… Uh! I'm glad it's not me!"
"Calm down, Lola," Hannah said, "It's totally cool. Look at me; I'm not nervous at all! Libby and I are pros, we don't get nervous!"
"But really!?" Lola shrieked, taking Hannah's hand, "I'll pray for you."
Libby let out a short laugh, and watched as two of her best girlfriends were having a huge discussion about stage fright, music, and Jesse's socks. Well, the last part was really more interesting, since they kept asking her which colours he wore the most. Like she knew!?
"Libby!" Hannah said, looking at her two years older friend, "Can you please calm Lola down? I don't know what's wrong with her, and it's driving me crazy!"
Libby laughed again, and flipped her long, black hair over shoulders, letting it hit her back in soft cascades. She quickly stood up to follow Lola, who was now skipping down the hall outside, trying to catch glimpses of all the fans outside. Her lilac hair was clearly standing out in the crowd among all the other backstage workers'.
"Lola!?" Libby yelled, taking her hand, "You need to come inside and sit down. You're driving Hannah crazy. Please do, calm down?"
"All right…" Lola said, smiling brightly at her friend nonetheless, "Is Jesse coming today? Please say he is, he's so much fun!"
"He's coming later, don't worry." Libby smiled, "He'll also be going with us to the after party!"
"Is London coming too?" Lola asked.
Libby nodded.
"Oh no…" Lola sighed, "Oh well, we'll have fun anyway!" she grabbed Libby's hand, and they hurried in to Hannah again, and Lola (finally) calmed down enough to shut up.
Rachel Evans shot her head through the door and looked around for her little star, "Libby!? You're going to the hairdresser again. Please hurry."
"Okay," Libby smiled. She stood up and followed Rachel out of the room. Once they were outside, hidden from curious stares, they stood still and looked at each other.
"Sharpay," Rachel smiled, placing a strand of the black wig's hair behind her daughter's ear, "Don't get nervous. You'll do great tonight."
"I know I will mom," Libby said, giving her a little smile, "Hannah and I have done this together a thousand times, we're going to be fine. Lola is just driving Hannah mad."
"Okay then… Libby," Rachel said, pulling her youngest daughter in for a hug, "I love you."
"I love you too, mom." Libby said.
"Now," Rachel smiled, "Go get your hair done!"
Libby smiled, and skipped down the hall, her steps light and bumpy. Nothing made her happier than the atmosphere backstage right before a big concert.
Tonight was gonna be so much fun!
--
"Oh, this is so exciting!" Troy said, happily holding on to Gabriella's hand, "Thank you so much for these tickets, Gabby! It's the best birthday present ever!"
"I'm glad you like them!" Gabriella smiled, "I know how much you love Libby Lee, and when I read about this concert, I thought I'd make you really happy. And it's great since this is one of the concerts where she's with Hannah Montana too! I just love her voice!"
"Libby is way better," Troy said, squeezing her hand, as the tickets booth came closer, and they would be able to get inside, "She has an amazing voice. But I like those songs they sing together! Like… ´Best of Both Worlds´ and ´The Other Side of Me´."
"Yeah, those are good songs," Gabriella said, handing in their tickets. She smiled and continued inside to find a good place, where they'd be able to see Hannah and Libby. "C'mon Troy, we have to find a place!"
Troy smiled and before Gabriella knew it, he had squeezed his way through other people, and they were now almost up front. They had a pretty good view of the stage, just awesome. "How long until the show starts?" he asked his girlfriend.
"About a half an hour!" Gabriella said, checking her watch, "But really, time will pass fast!"
"Okay!" Troy smiled, turning around to look at the big stage. He had butterflies in his stomach, because of excitement. He would finally see Libby Lee in real life, and not just from a poster or a magazine. Not that he minded seeing here there, he had around 20 posters of her in his room at home, but this would really give him some great memories.
Gabriella shot her boyfriend a look as he turned away from her, his excited eyes on the stage. She hated the fact that he idolized that girl so much. She knew it was crazy though, because they didn't even know her, but he acted like he was madly in love with her.
He's supposed to be madly in love with me!, Gabriella thought and checked her watch again. Oh, she couldn't wait until the concert was over, so she could get home to study.
--
"Okay girls," Robbie said, looking into both their eyes – first Hannah's, then Libby's, "I know you'll do good. Get out there and rock!"
Libby and Hannah squealed. They gave Lola a hug, and ran onto the stage, energy pumping through their bodies the instant they saw how many people, there were there. It was awesome!
"Hey everybody!" Hannah yelled into her microphone, "I'm Hannah, how are you doing!?"
The crowd cheered, and Libby spoke up; "And I'm Libby! I hope you're up for some fun, because Hannah and I are ready to par-tay!"
"I think we should start with one of the songs we sing together!" Hannah suggested, "We wrote this awhile ago, and we just love it so much! It really tells us that there's more to life! Here it is; ´Best of Both Worlds´!"
The music started pumping, and Hannah, who was singing first, brought the mic to her mouth;
"Oh yeah You get the limo out front
Come on
Hottest styles, every shoe, every colour
Yeah, when you're famous it can be kinda fun
It's really you but no one ever discovers."
Libby smiled at her best friend. Hannah had an amazing voice. And even though their voices were very different, they sounded awesome together. She joined in and they sung together;
"In some ways you're just like all your friends You get the best of both worlds
But on stage you're a star
Chill it out, take it slow
Then you rock out the show
You get the best of both worlds
Mix it all together and you know that it's the best of both worlds
The best of both worlds."
Libby was singing solo next, and she approached the front of the stage, running her hands through a lot of her fans'. They were all screaming for her and Hannah, and it was kinda intimidating at times. She froze, when she came face to face, with a smile she recognized.
She quickly pulled back, and placed the mic in front of her mouth, running to the other end of the stage;
"You go to movie premiers."
"Is that Orlando Bloom?" Hannah chipped in, a smile on her face.
"Hear your songs on the radio
Livin' two lives is a little weird
But school's cool cause nobody knows
Yeah you get to be a small town girl
But big time when you play your guitar."
They approached each other, and sang together;
"You get the best of both worlds
Chill it out, take it slow
Then you rock out the show
You get the best of both worlds
Mix it all together and you know that it's the best of both
You know the best of both worlds."
Hannah continued;
"Pictures and autographs
You get your face in all the magazines
The best parts that you get to be who ever you wanna be."
"Best! Best!" Libby sang.
"Yeah, the best of both!" Hannah smiled.
"Best! Best!"
"You got the best of both!"
"Best! Best!"
"Come on, the best of both!"
Libby giggled into the microphone, happy that the crowd was already that much into their show;
"Who would of thought that a girl like me
Would double as a superstar."
Then they ended their song together, their voices mixing beautifully;
"You get the best of both worlds You get the best of both worlds
Chill it out, take it slow
Then you rock out the show
You get the best of both worlds
Mix it all together and you know that it's the best of both worlds
Without the shades and the hair
You can go anywhere
You get the best of both girls
Mix it all together
Oh, yeah
It's so much better 'cause you know you've got the best of both worlds."
"Thank you all!" Libby said, "I'll leave it up to Hannah for now, but I'm back soon!" she waved at them and left the stage, just as the first tunes of ´Who Said´ begun, and Hannah started singing.
Libby shot into her seat and Lola gave her a big hug, "I have a surprise for you!" she squealed, and then she left. Two seconds later, Jesse came through the door, and Libby stood up and ran for a hug.
"Hi, I missed you!" he said, giving her a sweet kiss.
"I missed you too, McCartney!" Libby smiled, "We really should go out on a date soon!"
"Yeah, I'll find a day." Jesse smiled, "How was the first song?"
"Good," she replied, playing with his hair, "Do you want to go out there and sing for them, if Hannah and I need a break or something?"
"Always," Jesse smiled.
"Oh, goodie!" Libby squealed, clapping her hands together, like a certain dark-haired, dumb friends of hers. She gave him another kiss. The kiss soon grew to two, and on and on and on.
"Okay, you can stop now! It's not fun to watch!" Lola exclaimed.
Libby and Jesse broke apart. Libby started to giggle, and they sat down by the table. Rachel came into the room, and she had cokes in her hands. She put them on the table, free for them to take.
"Hey Jesse." Rachel said, she then looked at Libby and said: "Libby, are you ready to go on stage in a minute?"
"Always. Can Jesse come with me?" Libby said and took his hand. She squeezed it tight, and looked into his eyes. He leaned in and planted his lips on hers.
"If he wants to." Rachel looked at Jesse and Libby. She send Lola a look which told her that they were crazy. Lola giggled.
Libby still stared into his eyes. "Do you want to?" She asked with her puppy eyes.
Jesse chuckled at her. "Anything for you darling."
Libby smiled and kissed him.
"Okay, lovebirds. It's about time. Jesse would you sing one song?" Rachel asked.
"Yeah, I just need my guitar, then I'll be fine." Jesse said. He looked back in to Libby's eyes. "Ready?"
"Yep. I'll go in first and tell them I have something extra for them. Okay?" Libby asked.
Hannah came back from stage. She looked at Jesse and Libby; "Hey Jesse!" she paused, "Libby, get your cute little butt out there! I've warmed them up!" Hannah said.
Jesse nodded and said; "Hey."
"I'm taking him with me." Libby said and rose from her chair. She didn't let go of his hand.
"Are you going to sing? Gosh they are gonna go wild! Well, good luck then." Hannah took a coke and opened it. She took the seat next to Lola.
Rachel came in, and yelled; "Now! Go!"
Libby and Jesse followed Rachel to the side of the stage. Then Libby went in by herself, and the crowd cheered when they saw her. She looked shortly at Troy and Gabriella, but then she looked back at the rest of the crowd.
"Well, I have a surprise for you all. Wanna know what it is?" Libby shouted into the microphone.
They cheered even more.
"What did you say?" Libby asked. She looked at Jesse, who stood behind the curtain. She shot him a smile.
The crowd screamed even higher.
"Oh, well. We have a guest singer! Honey, why don't you come out here?" Libby suggested.
Jesse moved towards her, and the crowd went crazy. "Hey." Jesse said into the microphone. He took it from Libby's hand, and they pulled into a hug.
"I've promised Libby here to perform a song. So that's what I'm gonna do!" Jesse said, "Do you have a guitar, Libby?"
Libby got one from behind the curtain; "Here you go." She said and gave it to him.
He put the strap over his head, as two technicians came in with a chair for him, and a microphone for the guitar. Jesse sat down, and they sat up the microphone for his guitar and one so he could sing too.
"Well, before I start, I want to dedicate this song to Libby." Libby looked shocked at him. "Yeah, you Libby. I just wanna say I love you."
Libby approached the microphone. "I love you too." she said, and looked into his blue eyes. They were full of love.
"It is called ´Why Don't You Kiss Her?´" Jesse said and smiled. He looked at the crowd. He played the first few notes and then started to sing.
"We're the best of friends
And we share our secrets
She knows everything that is on my mind
Lately something's changed
As I lie awake in my bed
A voice here inside my head
Softly says."
Jesse looked at Libby and smiled. He loved her so damn much, and he'd written that song after they'd met and started working together. They'd shot a commercial for Disney Channel, and they'd had so much fun. Then they did a single together, and they became like, best friends. After that, he couldn't help but fall for her. She had the best personality.
In the crowd Troy was staring at Libby. She shouldn't love Jesse McCartney. No, she should love him. It wasn't up for discussion. She was such an amazing singer, and really beautiful. No one he knew was that hot, not even Sharpay Evans.
"Why don't you kiss her
Why don't you tell her
Why don't you let her see
The feelings that you hide
'Cause she'll never know
If you never show
The way you feel inside."
Gabriella couldn't get her eyes off of Libby Lee. There was something about her that she despised. She couldn't tell what though, there was just something there, she didn't like… And it was odd, because she sorta looked familiar. Some of the expressions she made, reminded Gabriella of someone, but she couldn't figure out who. And her eyes… her eyes were really familiar.
Jesse just kept looking at Libby, really intense. She was smiling and blushing at him, but he knew she enjoyed this. She always enjoyed hearing him sing, and it didn't matter to her that they were in front of people. She got lost in his music, like always.
"Oh I'm so afraid to make that first move What would you say Why don't you kiss her (tell her you love her) Why don't you kiss her?"
Just a touch and we
Could cross the line
Every time she's near
I wanna never let her go
Confess to her what my heart knows
Hold her close
Why don't you kiss her
Why don't you tell her
Why don't you let her see
The feelings that you hide
'Cause she'll never know
If you never show
The way you feel inside
I wonder would she just turn away
Or would she promise me
That she's here to stay
It hurts me to wait
I keep asking myself
Why don't u tell her (tell her you need her)
Why don't you let her see
The feelings that you hide
'Cause she'll never know
If you never show
The way you feel inside...
Libby walked to Jesse. She gave him a kiss on his lips. "Thanks, that was so sweet." she whispered into his ear. Her voice was like sweet music to his ears. The crowd went wild again. Libby took the microphone. "So I kissed him. Well, ready for another song?" Libby asked. She looked one last time at Jesse before he went backstage.
Hannah and Lola had been watching the whole scenery. Jesse approached them, just as the beats of ´Not Like That´ started pumping, and Libby started singing.
"That was so sweet. Did you write that to her?" Lola and Hannah asked at the same time.
"Yeah, I did. Isn't it kind of cheesy?" Jesse said.
"No, not at all. If it was me, I would throw myself at you." Lola said.
Jesse laughed at her, because it didn't surprise him. Lola would throw herself at any celebrity and she often did; "Okay, actually; I've written more than one song for her. Don't tell her though, it's a surprise for my next concert!" Jesse smiled. You could totally tell he was hooked.
"Well, can I come to your next concert too? Oh, my gosh! When London reads about this concert in a magazine, she is gonna freak!" Hannah exclaimed, thinking about the fact that Jesse had dedicated that song to Libby. That wasn't good for London, because she was convinced that she was gonna be Mrs. McCartney sometime soon herself.
"I don't know about that, but I guess so." Jesse said, shooting them a boyish smile.
Both Hannah and Lola giggled, and imitated London; "Yay me!" they said and clapped their hands together in delight.
--
Lola, Hannah, Libby and Jesse walked into the after party. The music was pumping. Many were dancing and others were talking together. London immediately saw them and rushed to Jesse.
"Hey, Jesse. How are my future husband doing!?" London put her arm around his arm.
Jesse tried to get out of her grip; "London, I am not going to marry you, ever!" Jesse exclaimed.
"Aww, that is so sweet. Well, don't be shy to tell me that you love me. I know you do. We're each other's soul mates. You can't change that." London said, shooting them her smile.
Hannah, Lola and Libby looked at her.
"London, stop hitting on my boyfriend!" Libby yelled. "Come let's dance" She then said to Jesse and pulled him out on the dance floor.
Lola saw the lead singer from the All American Rejects and went to talk to him. She was like all over him. But that was Lola Luftnagle. She was always all over all the celebrities she could get near.
Hannah sighed and tried to find somebody to dance with. There was no one good-looking. Well, maybe that guy in the corner, but he had a huge nose! Oh! She kept looking around, but it was a really lame party. Libby was of course all over Jesse, while London was trying to get his attention. Lola had now shot her attention to another guy, and Hannah couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
"No, London!" Libby yelled, pushing her away, "Get it through you fat, little heiress brain! Jesse is my boyfriend, so stay away from him!"
"But he gave me all the signs when he was staying at the Tipton the last time!" London said.
Libby turned to Jesse, a mad look in her eyes. She narrowed them in, and gave him her killer-look.
"No, no!" Jesse yelled, defensive, "I didn't give you the signs, London! I threw you and the candy counter girl out of my room! What is it that you don't get!?"
"My father wont stand for this!" London said, crossing her arms.
"Well too bad." Libby said, "Because your father has nothing to do with us! Maybe you can pull that line with Mr. Moseby, but it ain't gonna work now, missy!"
"P!" London turned around, mad, and went to the other end of the room, shooting the happy couple dirty looks.
"I can't believe her!" Jesse laughed.
"No!" Libby giggled, "And to think she's one of my best friends! I can't believe she wont give up!"
"Okay then," Jesse smiled, "But let's forget about her," he said, "And dance!"
Libby froze, "Two seconds honey, I have to talk to my… manager." She paused, "Rachel."
Jesse nodded and Libby hurried away to find her mom. She did, in the corner of the room, and she pulled her into a hug, "Hi mom!" she said, barely able to talk over the loud music, "How's Ryan doing?"
"He called me two minutes ago," Rachel said, "Jason and him are watching a movie right now with Kelsi and Martha. He doesn't know we're not home. We just have to be in the house by 10 o'clock tomorrow."
"Okay then," Libby smiled, "That gives me some time to par-tay!"
"Yup," Rachel smiled at her daughter, "Have fun… Sharpay…"
"Don't worry," she smiled, "I always do."
Yeah, well we hope you liked it. It is maybe not the best start, but don't worry it gets better. Please review us, and tell us if you like the story. And just if anyone didn't get it; Sharpay Evans IS Libby Lee.
Toodles, MelleG and Stessa.
Peace Out!
