Chapter 1- Just the Beginning

Miley was sitting on her bed with her guitar in her lap. She wasn't writing a song, she was just playing chords that came to mind. She had been feeling bad for the past few days. She had missed filming an episode of Hannah Montana which she never did, even when she was sick. She had also missed a week of rehearsals for her Best of Both Worlds Tour.

She didn't know what was wrong with her, but she just hadn't been feeling well. She had a fever, was constantly dizzy, and she felt like no matter how much she drank, she just couldn't get enough water. She had decided that if her fever went away, she would go to rehearsal tomorrow. So far, her fever hadn't been back, but she still felt completely drained.

The Next Day

Miley woke up feeling better. Her temperature (that her mom made her take before she allowed her to go to rehearsal) was a normal 93.7. She was happy that she could finally go back, and see everyone that she hadn't seen in a week. She was going to see the dancers, her band and the Jonas Brothers. Sure, everyone was important to her, but the Jonas Brothers were extremely important, because they weren't only amazing musicians, singers, and performers, but they were also really close friends.

When her mom pulled up to the building, Miley got out. She had already kissed her mom bye, but she called her back before she could get a few feet from the car.

"Miley, please be careful. If you start to feel bad again, sit down and call me. Ok?"

"Don't worry mom. I'll be ok. And even if I wasn't, there is a ton of people who would call you in a heartbeat if I even looked like I was starting to feel bad. Oh, and Mrs. Jonas is going be there, and she always watches out for me," Miley said.

Her mom nodded, and smiled at her.

"I love you mom," Miley said before she turned around to walk in the backstage door.

"I love you to Smiley," her mom answered.

Miley walked in the backstage entrance, and she went through the stage doors so she could put her stuff down on one of the stadium seats. She was almost knocked over by the people that surrounded her. Her dancers and her band had her in a big, tight group hug.

"Guys, I can't breathe," she managed to get out before they all let her go.

"Miley, we missed you so much," her lead dancer and best friend said as she gave her another hug.

"We really haven't been able to get anything done since you've been sick. We've been really worried," the band leader, Stacey said.

"Well, guys, I'm really glad I'm back. I've missed everybody," Miley said.

"Does that include us?" Joe asked as all three brothers walked up to Miley and gave her a hug.

"Of course it does," Miley answered as she hugged Nick.

"So, what have I missed?" she asked the group.

"Well, a few dance rehearsals, and a run-through. We're going to have another run-through today, and then a full dress rehearsal tomorrow," Kevin said.

"Well, I guess I'd better get ready," Miley said as she grabbed her stuff to take to her dressing room. She saw that everyone was dressed in t-shirts and sweats, and was glad that she remembered hers. She could already tell that it was going to be a long day.
