PLOT

After Hannah Montana performs at a concert, Jesse McCartney comes to visit Miley in her dressing room. Jesse asks her out but Miley can't go because she has to do her science project with Lilly, and then is unsuccessful at making an arrangement with Jesse due to her other school work. Jesse then rejects her. Miley is then annoyed because she doesn't have enough time to do all her school work and Hannah stuff. At Miley's house Lilly and Miley are doing the project, Lilly spots a shooting star and they make wishes. Lilly wishes for an A on the project and Miley wishes that she was Hannah Montana all the time.

Miley wakes up to find that she is only Hannah Montana and she can't take her wig off. An angel who looks like Roxy tells her that her wish has come true. At first Miley likes her Hannah life as she gets to live like a rockstar in luxury all the time. She also gets to date Jesse which she is very happy about. Robby Ray has married a woman named Candice who used to be Hannah's tutor, and seems very happy.

The angel takes Miley to see how all of her friends and family are affected by the fact that Miley never existed. Jackson has left their family and dropped out of school because he didn't like people using him to get to Hannah, and lives like a hermit. Oliver and Rico have teamed up and they let people take a peek at Hannah's house (which is nearby), for money. Lilly has become popular because she is friends with Amber and Ashley, as she was never Miley's friend. Seeing all of this, Miley decides that she doesn't want to be only Hannah Montana any more. Instead she wants to be Miley as well. But the angel tells her that everyone only gets one wish and can't find any loopholes.

To try and solve her problem Miley puts on a brunette wig to make her look like Miley, and tries to become friends with Lilly again. But the new popular Lilly doesn't like Miley and is freaked out when she knows things about her she has never told anyone. Lilly realizes that Miley is Hannah Montana and takes off Miley's wig, leaving her being chased by fans. Then at home, she discovers her dad's wife is just using her dad for expensive gifts. The wife even bans the traditional Crazy Loco Hot Cocoa that they drink, because she says that she is "allergic" to it, and then asks Robby Ray for a shopping spree to make her head feel better.

Miley is upset with herself and walks out onto her balcony to find Jackson on the roof watching TV. She tells Jackson about her life before she made the wish. Jackson wishes to see that someday-- a world where everyone didn't know she was Hannah Montana just as a shooting star came by. Miley calls to the angel, saying that Jackson made the wish, and shouldn't it count for something? The angel appears in Jackson's place and tells her that she had found a loophole and everything then goes back to how it was just before Miley made her first wish. The episode finishes with Oliver, Rico and Jesse rapping on the beach.
