Hello there-

Here is my second attempt at fan fiction. It was so depressed after my first story not to get anymore review notices in my email that I had to write more! I hope you will enjoy it. I love getting reviews and constructive criticism so please hit the button at the end of the page and if you have a story you'd like me to read and review just let me know…it's the least I can do for those reading my stories. Anyway enjoy!

Disclaimer: I don't own the characters from Hannah Montana…this goes for all chapters in this story so that I don't have to depress myself each time I write a new one.

Chapter 1- The new beginning

Miley placed her key in the lock and opened the door slowly, peeking her head in just a bit to get the first glimpse of her new apartment. Her eyes widened in surprise. Inside was an enormous and beautifully furnished entryway and living room.

It was perfect, a blend of old world style with modern accents. There were large oversized couches of white fabric and various cool colored throw pillows scattered about. The couches were paired with exquisite antique looking chairs. Vases of fresh flowers were displayed on most surfaces in beautiful shades of green, blue, purple and white. She stopped to admire the blue hydrangeas that adorned the vase in marble entryway. She smiled to herself and laughed. She knew she would love this apartment.

The kitchen was immaculate with large marble countertops. She could picture herself sitting there enjoying her coffee or reading her new script.

She ventured into the bedroom and was again amazed by what she saw. It was astonishing. The intricate wallpaper was soft and sophisticated. The large 4 poster bed sat in the center of the room with gauzy hangings and soft white linens that looked like she could get lost in them. There was even a comfy light blue chaise in the corner for watching tv. She couldn't believe that she was here and that this would be her home for the next 6 months.

She walked back out to the sitting room to find that she already had a letter waiting for her on the coffee table. She smiled at the handwriting. It was from Lilly.

To: My movie star best friend

Miley-

I can't believe you're going to be living in Paris for the next few months! I'm sure that I'm going to be missing you already by the time you get this. I don't know what I'm going to do with just Oliver around. Hopefully I don't kill him for leaving his socks around the bedroom. Anyway I will try and keep you updated on things that are going on here in California as often as I can. I will call and we can email as often as you like but I thought it might be nice to have an actual letter from someone who loves you when you arrive at your new apartment. I hope it makes it feel more like home.

Now onto my surprise. I have cleared my schedule for the month of June and am hoping to come and stay with you so that we can experience Paris together just like old times. What do you think? Oliver won't be able to get off work the entire time but is hoping to join us for the last week or two that I'll be there. Won't that be fun? A summer in Paris! I'm getting goosebumps just thinking about it. Call me when you have a chance. I can't wait to hear everything about your new movie!. Don't work too hard though.

Much Love

Lilly Oken

P.S. Say hi to Mark for me….and if he needs any help with your ring size while you're in Paris tell him to give me a call!

Miley smiled. Lilly could make her feel happy wherever she was. It was definitely a quality she admired in her best friend. She shook her head slightly as she saw the signature. She still wasn't used to seeing Lilly sign her new name but she was really happy for the both of them. They had survived their first year of marriage relatively unscathed and the three of them were still the best of friends.

Miley re-read the post script and bit her bottom lip. Lilly had started to suggest that she and Mark start thinking of marriage a few months ago and she had to admit that the thought of coming home with an engagement ring on her finger didn't seem like such an awful thing. She was still smiling to herself already playing the scene out in her head. A romantic evening and candlelit dinner, a walk by the Eiffel tower, Mark on one knee. She was smiling broadly now swaying back and forth as she imagined them dancing together with the letter clutched against her chest.

She had met Mark over a year ago on her first movie set. She had had a small supporting role but had earned lots of praise and even a few award nominations for her portrayal. Mark was the star of the film and had helped her along in every step of the process and by the end of the film they had ended up as hollywood's newest 'it' couple. Since then they had been going strong despite often being separated from each other due to their hectic work schedules, Mark with his movies and Miley with both her new music and film career. But that was all about to change. They had both been given roles in this film and for the first time in months they would be in the same place at the same time.

Miley sighed a bit. Even though they would be in the same place they wouldn't be working together much. Mark was playing the lead again and would be portraying a young writer living and working in Paris during the elegant 1920's. Miley would be a part of the side story depicting his inspiration for his most popular novel. She would be playing a girl who comes to Paris and discovers art, music and love. And despite the fact that her character inspires Mark's he merely watches her from a distance without ever really interacting.

Even though she was disappointed that they wouldn't have any scenes together the script was amazing and Miley was more than excited to pretend to live the life of a beautiful young woman who wore nothing but stunning evening gowns, was adored by handsome young men and visited the most beautiful mansions Paris had to offer. It really was the chance of a lifetime.

She smiled to herself and started the water in the elegant bathtub with golden fixtures. The thought of living and working in Paris with the man she loved made her heart soar. She had adored the city since her Hannah Montana days when they would stop off for a day or two during her world tours. She had never gotten to really experience the city but the second she had arrived she had felt a sense of homecoming. She knew in her heart that she would love it here.

She sank into the steaming water and mountains of bubbles. Placing her head of curls against the edge of the tub she began dreaming of her knew life in the city known for love, light, and especially…. romance.

DON'T worry Jake is coming...SOON!
