"Uhg New York is so boring! Why couldn't we go to California instead?" Chad asked, sitting on a bench, fiddling with his fingers. "Because, we have never been to New York, and I have a feeling something exciting here will happen during our vacation!" Gabriella said, snapping another photo of the Statue of Liberty. "Oh yeah, lets just all rely on your instincts!" Chad mocked her, rolling his eyes. Taylor slapped his head. "Ow!" He cried, rubbing his head. "Oh c'mon Chad, it isn't that bad here!" Troy argued. "You're just saying that because Gabs said that!" Chad retorted. Try and Gabi blushed, looking away from the group. "Chad just shut your mouth!" Taylor hissed at him, angrily. Chad kept his mouth shut as they kept on walking through Town Square.
"Hey guys can we stop by that hot dog stand? Pleeeease?" Chad begged, clasping his hands together as he begged for food. The gang rolled their eyes and laughed as they walked over to the hot dog stand. As Chad bought a foot long hot dog, smothered in Mustard, ketchup, and relish he smuggled a magazine into his pocket. "Chad, put that back!" Gabriella whispered in his ear. "No way there's porno in here! And you know how I need my porno!" Chad said, as he paid the clerk for his hotdog. "You idiot," Taylor yelled at him. "Jeeze I was just kidding about the porno!" He defended himself. "Whatever." Taylor said. As they gazed around the large buildings Chad started to laugh, causing chunks of meat to fly out of his mouth. "Haha hey guys check this out! Somewhere in this city lies an underground cursed cave! It looks like it holds ghosts that guard gold!! Ooh scary! Don Don Don!" Chad exclaimed, laughing. "Oh I wanna see it!" Gabriella said, snatching the magazine out of his hand. "You don't actually believe that crap do you?" Chad asked. "Well, there's only one way to find out." Gabriella said, slyly.
Chad's eyes widened in horror. "Ooooh No, I'm not going to look for some stupid, made-up, bull crap cursed cave!" Chad said, folding his arms across his chest. "It looks like we found our adventure." Sharpay squealed. "Greeeeat," Ryan muttered. "Well, you can't look for the cave if you don't know where it is!" Chad informed her. "We can try looking for information in that old library down the street." Taylor said, pointing her index finger down the street. "YEAH! Come on guys!" Gabriella exclaimed. Without thinking, she grasped Troy's hand and sprinted down the street with the gang behind them. Suddenly, when they stopped at the front door of the library, Gabriella released her grip on Troy's hand and blushed. "Uhm…sorry," She said, staring at her feet. "That's ok." Troy mumbled. "Oooooh I see sparks between the two." Ryan whispered into Sharpay's ear. Sharpay glared at him, before elbowing him in the stomach, causing him to moan out in pain.
As they walked through the library, the boys immediately plugged their noses, grimacing at the smell. "Oh god, what died in here?!?" Chad asked. "The library," Ryan answered. Sharpay slapped him. "Hey! I am just speaking the truth! And that hurt!" Ryan said, rubbing his shoulder. When they walked in, they saw papers scattered on the floor and the ground damp. "This place must be a billion years old." Taylor whispered. "No really? What was your first clue? The papers labeled 1778? Or the walls that are oozing out green mold?" Chad asked. "Guys just Shutup!" Troy said. "Ok…you guys go check out that section over on the left while we girls investigate this section." Taylor said. "Fine," Chad said. The 3 boys walked to their assigned book shelves while the girls looked around the other shelves.
Suddenly, as Gabriella was scanning the book spines, a man popped up out of nowhere. "Can I help you?" He asked, in a British tone. All the girls screamed in fright. "Uh…uh yeah Uhm…we were wondering if-if you had some information on Uhm…this article." Gabriella stuttered, holding the magazine up to him. The librarian eyed the article and gasped. "What?" Sharpay asked. "You aren't actually looking for…The Cursed Love Cave…are you?" He said, in a hushed tone. WH…why? What's wrong?" Taylor asked, nervously. "Haven't you heard the stories?" He asked. All the girls shook their heads. "Well…you can only get out of this cave by discovering 3 things. Responsibility, bravery, and the most important…love. But it is impossible…the cave is actually labret." The librarian told them. "Do you have a map, we may borrow?" Gabriella asked, eagerly. "As a matter of fact…I believe I have one lying around here somewhere…aha! Here it is!" He said, pulling out loose papers from his dress robe. Gabriella looked at it. "Thank you sir!" Gabi said, walking away. Taylor and Sharpay's jaw dropped. "GABRIELLA? HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND?!?!" Taylor asked. "Nope," Gabriella said plainly, looking at the map on one of the desks in the library. "Do you know what your getting us into?" Sharpay hissed at her quietly. Gabriella ignored their comments and called the boy over. "Guys, I found a map!" Gabriella yelled in a whisper.
All of the boys walked over. "Ok, come on let's go find your stupid cave, so I can watch my show tonight," Chad said. "Do you think we'll survive even though the caves are labret?" Sharpay asked. Chad stopped dead in his tracks as his eyes bulged out of his head. "LABRET!!?!?!?!?!" He screamed. All the girls nodded. "Were doomed," Ryan said. "Come on! I bet I could find this cave in a flash!" Gabriella said. "Where do we start first?" Taylor asked. Gabriella didn't answer. Her eyes were glued on the map as she made a puzzling face. "Gabi, what's wrong?" Troy asked, sincerely. "The map…it doesn't make sense!" She said. "Ok…WHAT doesn't make sense?" Ryan asked her. "Well, according to this…we are in the caves right now!" Gabriella exclaimed. "Say what? That's impossible!" Chad said. "Apparently not-wait a sec!" Gabriella said.
Suddenly, the front door to the library opened. "ZEKE!" Sharpay squealed, running towards him. "Hey Hun, how are you?" Zeke asked, hugging her. "Im great...how are you?" She asked. "Im doing good." He said. "How'd you find me?" Sharpay asked. "I have my ways," Zeke said, slyly. Sharpay laughed. "Hey Shar? What are you doing in a library?" Zeke asked. Sharpay looked from Zeke to Gabriella. "Oh you know the usual…reading…and watching Gabi go completely mental." Sharpay said in a casual voice. "SHARPAY COME ON, GABI THINKS SHE FOUND THE ENTRANCE!" Taylor yelled. "What is she talking about? Where are you all going?" Zeke asked. "Uhg, Gabriella thinks she found a cursed cave and wants to find it." Sharpay said, annoyed. "Oh really? Finally, a good use for my new video camera," Zeke said, pulling out his camera from his backpack. Sharpay threw her head back and laughed. "Well, if you come, then I won't mind going." She said, in a flirty tone. "Alright then…Shall we?" Zeke asked, linking his arm with hers. "We shall!" She exclaimed. "This way!" Gabriella called out, walking around the library.
Everybody followed Gabriella down hallway, after hallway, after hallway, after hallway, until they reached a small, alley-type hall. It was dark with torn books, and soggy papers spread out on the ground. "It says…the entrance is right here!" Gabriella said, touching one of the clay cravings on the wall. "Well I don't see any doors around here except the front door to the library, so let's go!" Chad said. "Wait!" Gabriella said. "WHAT!?" Chad yelled, in frustration. Gabrielle eyed the wall that had symbols, carving and pictures engraved on it. "It's a riddle." She whispered. "Oh Jeeze!" Chad exclaimed. "Man, this tape is gonna rock!" Zeke said, video taping Gabriella examining the wall.
"It says 'Im round I'm thin, I lay in your purse, you will find me once you break this curse'" Gabriella read. "Uhm…skinny dead people?" Chad guessed. "Chad…you don't find Skinny dead people IN YUR PURSE! You are so immature!" Troy said. "Well I don't see anybody else coming up with answers!" He argued. "Gold," Gabi whispered. "EW Mold? Who finds that in their purse?!?" Chad asked, disgusted. "NO, GOLD YOU IDIOT!" Taylor yelled. Suddenly, the clay wall slid to the sides, revealing a small staircase gong down, followed by a small light at the bottom of the stairs. Everybody gasped. "Didn't see that coming," Chad said. "Uhh…I just remembered I have to…uh...go take a dump. BYE!" Ryan said/ Taylor and Gabi grabbed him by his shoulders. "Your coming with us!" Taylor growled. "Uhh…o-ok." Ryan said. "Everybody stay close, and follow me." Troy said, leading them down the old, damp steps.
