Happily Ever After
-Chapter 1: Last Day in Utah-
(September 2008)
Today was suppose to be a blessing for actors or actresses wanting to go home or go on vacation and for actors and actresses thanking God for them finally not having to put up with their cast mates, but for a group of six young adults from the hit of the century, High School Musical, and the two other installments of High School Musical, who had just finished filming the third (and possibly the final) installment to HSM, High School Musical 3: Senior Year. These six members if you didn't already know were, 20-year-old Zac Efron, 19-year-old Vanessa Hudgens, 23-year-old Ashley Tisdale, 24-year-old Lucas Grabeel, 19-year-old Corbin Bleu and 28-year-old Monique Coleman. It was the worst day of their lives, they had to say goodbye to the family they had made over the installments of all three movies for the Disney's HSM, they had to say goodbye to their friends, their family and the place were they "grew up" at, where they found themselves and where 19 year old Vanessa Hudgens and 20 year old Zac Efron (Zanessa) became a couple for almost three years as of now. To say they were all depressed and the girls were going to bawl all day was THE understatement of the century.
20 year old Zac Efron woke up at nine o'clock and smiled down at the beautiful chocolate brown eyed, chocolate brown natural wavy haired, petite bodied young women, his girlfriend of three years, 19 year old, Vanessa Anne Hudgens, who he only had eyes for and loved more than anything in the world. This girl could ask him to give up his career (which she would NEVER EVER make him do) for her and he would in a heartbeat. If he had one day left to live and you ask him where or what he would want to do he would reply, "Right next to my beautiful girlfriend of three years, Vanessa Hudgens, my soul mate. Who I love with everything I am." Zac held her tighter to him after remembering what today was, today was the last day that the whole HSM cast from all three movies would be together one final time, so that Vanessa was laying practically on top of him sleeping soundly. The thought of them ending after HSM3: Senior Year came out and all the HSM stuff was done and people saying it was just in the heat of the moment for the last three years, made him want to kill everyone who thought or talked that way because he knew that this was no heat of the moment, its been three years of heaven's sakes and he loved and cherished every moment, ever second, every hour, every day and every millisecond of the three years they would be together. Zac was determined to keep Vanessa his girlfriend for as long as he could because the thought of her moving on and dating and the possibly marrying someone else made him want to stab the person she was with and them kill himself. If anyone asked him if he was over overprotective of Vanessa he would always reply, "Hell yes!" even though she could handle herself (sometimes). Zac would smile every time he heard 'Zanessa' knowing that they had their own special couple name that they got from fans and the media.
Zac was tossed out of his thoughts, by Vanessa kissing his up and down his chest making chills run up and down his back.
"Mm, morning Zaccy," Vanessa softly greeted before placing a kiss on his chest again above his right nipple.
"Mm, morning Nessa Anne. That feels so good," He softly greeted back with a smile and a slight moan as Vanessa kept on kissing all over his bare chest.
"Good, its suppose to," Vanessa said as she continued to kiss all over his bare and muscular chest.
"God, I love you," Zac told her wrapping his arms tighter around her petite, but healthy waist.
"And I love you," Vanessa replied before she finally kissed him on the lips passionately. Zac smiled into the kiss and ran his tongue over her lips begging for more and she happily agreed and letting him trust in tongue in her mouth, deepening the kiss and their tongues starting the very familiar and master tongue tango.
Zac then flipped them over fast, but safely so he was holding his upper body from crushing her as they continued with their tongue tango that kept on growing more passionate by every passing millisecond.
Vanessa let out a soft moan as Zac cupped her right breast in his hand. Soon later his fingers trailed down from Vanessa's breasts to her hot entrance, slipping inside causing Vanessa to cry out as loud as her body was filled with the touch she would always desire. As Zac worked his fingers quickly in and out of his girlfriend, he kissed her neck and shoulders, leaving numerous marks as he went. As Vanessa's body clenched around his fingers Zac bit down on her neck, causing her to hiss out of pure pleasure as she shuddered against her boyfriend.
"Oh God," Vanessa breathed after her moment of pure pleasure.
"I'm so glad you didn't throw a shirt on last night because then I wouldn't be able to do this right now," Zac said as he quickly put a condom over his throbbing manhood and with a quick thrust he was fully inside of her, their bodies rocking together in the familiar and mastered rhythm, a mixture of pure joy, happiness, desire and lust running through their bodies.
"Morning, Nesquick," 23 year old, blonde haired, brown eyed, Ashley Michelle Tisdale greeted her best friends as they walked into the lobby hand in hand with wide smiles on their faces, looking like they just got done visiting cloud nine.
"Morning, Ashley, Monique, Corbin, Lucas," Zac and Vanessa greeted to their friends that they considered adoptive brothers and sisters.
"So how was the walk over here this morning?" Vanessa asked Corbin and Monique who were staying at Little America Hotel while Ashley, Zac and herself were staying at Grand America Hotel.
"It was warm and sad. We took our time walking across the street, just enjoying the scenery," Monique told her.
"So are we ready to go get breakfast at the Garden Café here?" Vanessa asked them standing up and taking a hold of Zac's hand, entwining their fingers together.
The other four nodded and followed Zac and Vanessa into the Garden Café that the hotel closed off and reserved for them so they could eat in private.
"Hello, I'm Stephan and I'll be your waiter this lovely and glorious Utah morning. What can I get you?" A new guy that none of the recognized said.
"We'll have three hot chocolates." Vanessa said for the girls with a smile, not noticing the waiter checking her out.
"And we'll have three "Antioxidant" blueberry blast smoothies." Zac said glaring at the waiter who was checking out his Vanessa, the waiter just sent the glare back, without Vanessa knowing the both of them shooting glares at each other before the waiter walked away to get them their morning beverages.
Three minutes later, the waiter returned with the drinks and each person took their drink happily taking a sip of them before ordering.
"I'll have the banana-chocolate chip pancakes with coconut and whipped cream, a side of apple wood smoked bacon and a onion, cheese and mushroom omelet." Corbin said, starting off the food ordering.
"I'll have croissant breakfast sandwich with extra egg, cheese and bacon, please." Monique told Stephan.
"Would you like the breakfast potatoes with that?" He asked her and then wrote down breakfast potatoes after she nodded her head yes.
"I'll have the Grand American Breakfast Burrito, bacon and your baked Florentine omelet without the spinach," Lucas said, ordering next.
"I'll have an order of two fried eggs, cottage potatoes and ham please," Ashley ordered next.
"I'll have an order of two fried eggs, cottage potatoes and bacon please," Vanessa ordered next with a kind smile that Stephan returned.
"I'll have banana chocolate chip pancakes with coconut and whipped cream, Grand American breakfast burrito and bacon please," Zac ordered still glaring at the waiter who had lust in his eyes as he ran his eyes over Vanessa's body and while he tried to look down her cami.
"I'll be right back with that," Stephan said before he went to take the slip to the chefs.
"Zac, man, you alright?" Corbin asked Zac seeing the anger in Zac's usually normal brilliant, loving and caring electric blue eyes that were now grey.
"Yeah, I just need to go to the bathroom I'll be right back," Zac said as he got up and walked inside.
"I'll be right back," Corbin said and then gave Lucas a look telling him to come which he did, leaving all three girls sitting their confused.
When the food returned, so did the young men, Zac all calm and relaxed now after blowing off steam by talking to Corbin and Lucas and after the three of them had a quick chat with Stephan who said he didn't know him and Vanessa dating which was pure bull because the whole world knew Zac and Vanessa were together.
"So I was thinking since its our last day here we could each pick a thing we want to do as a group before we spend from 3 to six with the whole HSM cast and crew. What do you all think?" Monique asked.
"I think that is a brilliant idea Monique!" Ashley and Vanessa replied with the boys nodding their head in agreement.
Soon later, Vanessa, Zac, and Ashley were the last two to choose what they wanted to do seeing as Corbin's choice was biking, Monique's choice was watching an opera performed by the Utah Symphony Opera, and Lucas' choice was golfing.
"So Vanessa what do you want to do?" Lucas asked Vanessa with a smile as they all were eating a quick lunch of berries and bananas.
"Well, you guys remember when I went to my photo shoot and interview for teen vogue?" Vanessa asked them.
"Yeah." They all replied.
"Well, where we shot the photos and did the interview their were these dune buggies ripping around in the sand and I did promise that I would return with you guys and I still haven't and I was wondering and its totally okay if you don't, but I was wondering if you guys would like to go ride dune buggies?" Vanessa asked them hoping and praying they would say yes.
"Hell yes!" They all replied, Vanessa smiled at how she got not just an yes, but a hell yes.
"Awesome, lets go!" Vanessa said.
After riding dune buggies in Little Sahara in Utah's Sevier Desert, just outside of Salt Lake City, they went Utah's Hogle Zoo which was Zac's choice.
Walking into through the entrance, after getting free admission (only because Disney was paying), Corbin asked Zac, "So why did you chose this place?"
"Because I've been promising Vanessa, but we we're so busy we never got the chance. So what better time than now," Zac replied with a smile as he saw the bright smile on his girlfriend's face as she admired the first animal they came to in the North America Region of the zoo, which was the American Bison.
The boys all watched as each girl took pictures and comment the bison, before they too took pictures before they stopped at the next exbit which was the American Kestrel Bird which was a native Utah animal. The girls repeated their actions as did the boys before they stopped and looked at the next exbit which was the American White Pelican, the girls and boys each took pictures before they continued their tour in the North America region of the zoo. Other animals they saw in the North America region was the Bald Eagle, Barn Owl, Black Bear, Black-Crowned Night Heron, Bobcat with its babies, Bullock's Oriole, Burrowing Owl, Channel Island Fox, Chuckwalla, Cougar, Desert Bighorn Sheep, Desert Cottontail, Desert Night Lizard, Desert Tortoise, Giant Canada Goose, Gila Monster, Gila Woodpecker, Great Horned Owl, Grey Wolf, House Finch, Long-eared Owl, Mallard Duck, Mourning Dove, Navajo Sheep, North American Opossum, Pintail Duck, Raven, Ring-necked Pheasant, Roseate Spoonbill, Rough-legged Hawk, Screech Owl, Snow Goose, Southern Flying Squirrel, Trumpeter Swan, Turkey Vulture, Utah Prairie Dog, White-winged Dove, Wild Turkey and Yellow-Bellied Marmot.
"Oh, lets go in the North America Fish Aquarium!" Vanessa squealed before skipping off and into the entrance of the Aquarium her friends and boyfriend, smiling and or laughing and or shaking their heads, before they followed her into the Aquarium.
The first fish they saw was the June Sucker fish which had large, robust bodies, wide rounded heads with a distinct hump on the snout and where either black or brown with white on the belly. They all look pictures and even signed a few autographs for a set of 6 year old twins who were all decked out in HSM cloths.
The next and last fish in the Aquarium they saw were the Utah Cutthroat Trout which had silver-gray and or charcoal backs and sides, orange slash marks on throat, pale orange fins, and scattered large round spots all over the upper body.
"Did YOU know that predation by non-native fish and loss of water resources threaten the populations of these cutthroat trout." Monique said reading the did you know board posted up by the information about the fish on next to the massive aquarium that housed the trout while the other side of the aquarium housed the other fish they just saw.
"I didn't know that," Some of them replied while others just nodded their heads in amazement.
Exiting the Aquarium, Corbin noticed they missed a place and then exclaimed to them excitingly, "We need to go into the Reptile House of North America! Let's go!"
"Um….how about I just stay out here?" Vanessa said with fear laced in her voice and in her eyes and body language.
"Now come on scardy cat you got to go in!" Corbin said.
"Um…I think I'll just stay out here. I…um….get….asthma in dark places." Vanessa said lying through her teeth because darkness does not cause asthma.
"Liar! Come on you got to go in! Remember, we're doing this as a group?!" Corbin told her pushing her inside the building and making her stop in front of the first exbit where the massive California King Snake was striking the glass wowing and scaring little kids. Vanessa quickly turned her head and buried her head in Zac's chest as he quickly came up behind her seeing that she was scared. Monique and Ashley both burying their heads in Lucas' and Corbin's chest as they boys continued to look at snakes while holding the girls who kept their heads buried in their chest as Lucas and Corbin took pictures, Zac not wanting to because first Vanessa was his main concern (and always would be) and second he was not fond of snakes either.
Finally they exited the Reptile house after Corbin and Lucas took pictures of the other snakes which where the Arizona Mountain King Snake, Black Pine Snake, Dusky Pygmy Rattlesnake, Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake, Eastern Indigo Snake, Great Basin Gopher Snake, Great Basin Rattlesnake, Hopi Rattlesnake, Mexican Burrowing Python, Mojava Desert Sidewinder, Pygmy Faded Rattlesnake, Rubber Boa, and Timber Rattlesnake.
"Nessa Anne are you okay?" Zac asked her as they sat down on a wooden bench with her on his lap, her head still buried in his chest, while the others went to the bathroom.
"Yeah, I am now," Vanessa said as she pecked him on the lips before adding, "Thanks Zachary. I always feel safe, protected and loved with you. I hope we're together forever. I want us together forever. I love you with everything I am and more. You're my soulmate, baby and I love you."
"Nessa Anne, I will always be here for you no matter what. And don't worry I ain't letting you get away that easily because I want you to be with me forever and always. I want us together forever to babe. You're my soulmate, Nessa Anne and I love you too. So fucking much." Zac said before they kissed each other passionately, but were soon pulled out of it by hears awes and camera flashes going off, they turned their heads to see Lucas and Corbin rolling their eyes and Monique and Ashley taking pictures.
"We couldn't resist," Ashley said as an excuse for her and Monique taking a picture of them.
"Uh huh…"Vanessa said not believing them, but letting it slide
They then visited the other zoo regions which were Africa, South America, Europe and Asia, Australia, and Artic before they went and did Ashley's choice which Monique and Vanessa were trilled about and the boys were down about, it was shopping at The Gateway Mall.
While the girls were in Abercrombie & Fitch, Zac dragged the other two guys somewhere else in the mall to talk with them before they returned just in time to carry the girls' bags before the girls went and shopped in Aeropostale, Banana Republic, Ann Taylor, GAP, Hollister Co., Forever 21, rue21, Charlotte Russe, Hot Topic, Urban Outfitters, Foot Locker, Claire's, Famous Footwear, bebe, Aldo Shoes, Apple, Barnes and Noble, Build-A-Bear Workshop where they were bombarded with kids wanting autographs and pictures and where the girls wanted to make their own animals, Victoria's Secret, Victoria's Secret Beauty, and Bath and Body Works before they left to head back to their hotels to get ready to go where they had had dance rehearsals for all the High School Musicals for what may be the last time.
"Hello and welcome to what may be the last time of having us all here together," Their good friend, father figure and director/chorographer, Kenny Ortega said to everyone as they all sat around the massive building, smiling he continued, "Now I know this is a sad day, but I want it to be fun. So me, Bonnie and Chuckie came up with a series of games to play before we have to leave for our last dinner together. You all up for it?"
"Yeah." They all replied.
"I said are you all up for it?" Kenny asked again.
"Yeah." They all replied a little louder.
"Now come one. I said are you all up for it?!"
"Yeah!" They all screamed.
"Great! So we already picked our groups. Their posted on the board over there so go see what teams your on," Kenny told them pointing to the bulletin board where a bright red paper with white writing on it held the team names and the members on the team.
"Alright did you all have fun? I know I sure did. Alright, now before we all get ready for dinner. I have presents from me, from Bonnie, from Chuckie, and from Disney. So when I call your names come up here get your present from me, then look at the bags on the floor from Disney and find the bag with your name on, then go to Bonnie and get your present from her, and then lastly go to Chuckie and get your present from him. Alright, now let's begin. Vanessa, Zac, Ashley, Lucas, Corbin and Monique." Kenny said starting to read off the list of cast member and crew member names.
As soon as everyone got their gifts, they all rode back to their hotels to get ready for what may be their last cast and crew dinner together.
Getting back into their suite, Zac let Vanessa have shower first because he had told her he had to do something, looking nervous as ever, making Vanessa question in her head what was wrong with him, but not being able to ask his seeing as he just walked out the door.
Thirty minutes later, Vanessa got out of the shower, rubbed cream on her body, finished using the ProActive System, and put deodorant on before she started to get dress. She chose a pair of red lace thongs and a matching strapless bra; a beautiful satin, net, re-embroidered lace, crystal beading with sequins, strapless, floor length, bright red Alfred Angelo dress; and she chose a pair of gorgeous red open toed stilettos with a 3 inch heel and upper fabric embroidered with beautiful crystals and a buckle on the heel strap.
She then decided to work on her hair which she hair blow dried, put up in a elegant French twist with little ringlets left out to frame her face. Vanessa then moved on to lightly to apply her make up making it look beautiful, yet natural. Before she could choose some jewelry she heard Zac say, "Hey Nessa Anne can you come here for a sec please?''
"Yeah?" Vanessa asked him walking out of the bathroom to find him already decked out in his Armani tux and dress shoes, making him look smoking fiery hot. Vanessa licked her vanilla lip gloss glossed lips and said, "You look so hot!"
"Why thank you! And you look…there aren't even words to describe it. But I think I have something that I think you would love to put on with that dress. So turn around, please," Zac told her pecking her on the cheek before she turned around. He grabbed a blue box with a white ribbon that read Tiffany & Co. on the top of it and took a deep breath before he clasped a necklace around her neck.
"Oh. My. God. Zachary, its so beautiful! You shouldn't have!" Vanessa said as she looked in the mirror to see a beautiful Tiffany Hearts pendant of white diamonds in platinum silver necklace around her neck.
"Of course I should have! Just like I should have with these!" Zac said with a smile as he handed her a small light blue with white ribbon box and a medium with light blue with white ribbon box, telling her both were from Tiffany & Co.
"Zachary!" Vanessa said with happy tears starting to form in her chocolate brown eyes.
"Go on open them!" He encouraged her with a smile. Vanessa did as she was told and opened the medium box to find a beautiful Elsa Peretti Open Heart bangle in sterling silver, she smiled at Zac when he put it on her right wrist, before she opened the small box to find….
