Hey people. This is a joined fic by Stessa and MelleG. It's all Troypay, as you probably already figured, and yeah… Read and review.

No Sleep Tonight

Chapter 1.

Troy woke up by the feeling of a wet, cold tongue on his cheek. He opened his eyes and starred right into Rover's brown ones. He snapped my head back, and squeezed his eyes tight.

When Troy opened them again, Rover was still looking at him, so he pushed him away from the bed, and sat up. Troy could hear Gabriella in the shower, and Juna was probably downstairs, eating her breakfast.

Troy pushed the covers away from himself, the freezing morning air from the open window hitting him like ice. Rover looked at him like he was crazy. Troy probably was. Who would want to leave their nice, warm bed? Troy swear, sometimes that dog could actually use it's brain, though usually it was stupid as hell.

He stood out of bed, hopped into his slippers and took his bathrobe on. He couldn't believe what he'd become. Who would have thought that the hot High School jock would end up working in appetizing, being treated from head to toe by his wife, who taught 2nd grade?

Troy slipped into the bathroom to brush his teeth. Gabriella was in the shower, that was for sure. She was singing along with the radio, so she didn't hear him come into the room. He hated hearing her sing these days. She hadn't used her voice that much since High School, so it was getting kinda squeaky. It actually sounded horrible.

He brushed his teeth and hurried downstairs to see what Juna was up to. She was a bright kid, just like her mother. She had just turned 9., and her grades were good.

Troy and Gabriella had had her pretty early, and she wasn't planned. They didn't once think about not keeping her, but it had been pretty hard. They'd rushed to get married before she arrived, because Gabriella's mom wanted them to. It had been okay and felt right then.

Things were still good, though Troy wished he'd had some more time to himself when he was younger. He was only 30 now, but they didn't want to have more kids. Apparently Gabriella had enough in one.

"Hi daddy." Juna smiled, as he sat down by the table, "Will you read my essay, please? I think I made a couple of mistakes, and I'd love it if you could correct them?"

Troy groaned and took the four paper essay in his hands, "You know I'm not the one to do that, Juna. Your mom is way better with all this crap."

"Daddy!" Juna said, "I'm telling mommy you swore!"

"No, Juna, stop it." Troy mumbled, "I'm really not in the mood for this, okay? I'm tired, and I have a meeting. Which is also one of the reasons, I can't read your essay."

"But mommy doesn't have time either!" Juna said, "She has a meeting too!"

"Troy!" Gabriella yelled, from their bedroom, "Please just read it! My meeting is way more important than yours, and Juna really needs help, okay?"

Troy rolled his eyes, that minute hating his wife. Why he had to read the essay through the morning it was due, he didn't know. He would have been happy to do it, if she'd come with it two nights ago, or even yesterday night. Anything but in the morning. He simply didn't have time.

He had a train to catch. He looked at his watch he had gotten from Gabriella on their wedding day. He wouldn't make the train if he didn't leave the house soon. He quickly grabbed Juna's essay and read it through, not bothering to correct a single mistake. There wouldn't be many anyway. She was just like her mother!

He looked at his watch again. Now, he really had to go. He grabbed his briefcase and gave Gabriella, who had entered the kitchen, a kiss on the lips, as goodbye.

"I took the rest of your money, Troy." Gabriella said, "I didn't have time to get some yesterday."

"It's fine, I'll stop by at the ATM." Troy said, "But now I've really got to go. Bye, love ya'"

"Love you too."

He rushed out the door, and was speeding up to running tempo, as soon as he reached the pavement. His train left in 5 minutes, and he knew he wasn't gonna get there on time. Anyway, he ran there, and just hoped it was a little late. He reached the end of the road and turned around the corner. Two more blocks to go. The early morning traffic had already started. Lots of yellows taxis were on the streets. He crossed the road, and quickly looked at his watch. The train would leave the station in one minute. He ran as fast and as he could, but bumped into a woman. He apologised and hurried away.

Troy finally reached the station, to watch the train drive away. He cursed and angrily kicked a bench. He sighed and sat down to wait for the next train. It would be a half hour, but maybe he could sleep a little, or… work. He opened his briefcase and took out a lot of his paperwork. He hadn't had time to do this, he'd planned on reading it through during breakfast, but then he'd had to read Juna's essay.

30 minutes quickly passed as he was during his work, and when the train pulled in (A/N – by the way, none of us have any idea if there's a train station in Albuquerque, or near it, but we'll just pretend there is, k?) to the station. He quickly got his things together, and went inside to find a seat.

He slowly went through the train, watching all the different people, who were there. It was not the train he usually took, because he'd missed it, so the people he usually chatted with, was not there.

He finally found a free seat, and sat down, ready to open his briefcase again to work. It was really annoying. He hated his job more than anything else. He wanted to be a Coach just like his dad, but Gabriella had wanted him to do different things. She wanted him to have a job which would earn him good money, so appetizing was a good choice.

It was the most boring job to have, but it gave them food on the table, because Gabriella's job sure didn't. It was freaking how little teachers were paid nowadays. Why wouldn't people appreciate the time they spend teaching their snotty kids?

Troy was reading a mail from his boss, when the train suddenly bumped, and he dropped his papers on the floor. He bend down to pick them up, but as he lifted his head again, his eyes caught something…

It was a pair of woman's legs. They were long, nice, and hidden into a pair of black nets. On the feet of this mystery woman, was a pair of black stilettos, one of those Gabriella would never, ever set feet in. Troy let his eyes wander up this woman's leg, but was disappointed when his view stopped, because of the seat.

She was sitting a few seats away from him, in the opposite side of the train, and just now he noticed, that every man in the train, had his eyes on her.

He could see the most of her back over the seat, along with her head. It was covered in a black hat, but with a lot of golden locks sticking out from underneath it. From what he could see, this mystery woman was dressed in only black, which made her look so sexy.

He let his eyes wander back down her legs again. They were crossed firmly, sticking out in the little alley between the seats. He could see most of her thigh, which told him that she was wearing a mini skirt.

He looked up, and his eyes caught another man's. They quickly looked back down, embarrassed by themselves. The other man had a wedding ring on too. They were both married, but still checking out this woman.

But it was simply because she was that gorgeous.

Troy tried to read his papers again, but he couldn't keep his eyes off of her. He stuffed the papers in his briefcase, and looked up the woman's legs again. She was teasing all of them. But he wasn't sure she knew that she was. Well, she had to know she was gorgeous, but to wear an outfit like that… It took a lot of confidents.

As he let his eyes rest on her golden locks again, he suddenly got the feeling that he knew them for somewhere… But still, no. He had never known a woman or girl like that. No-one at his work was like that, no-one from his school was that graceful and sexy at the same time.

"Ticket?"

He looked up, as the ticket inspector stood next to him, demanding to see his ticket. He quickly started ruffling through his briefcase, but when he couldn't find his ticket there, he started looking through his pockets. But then he remembered… he hadn't bought one.

"Uhm, sorry," he mumbled, "I… I forgot to get one at the station."

"Yeah," the woman said, rolling her eyes, "That's what they all say. Give me some money."

Troy found his wallet, and opened it, only to find all his money gone. Then he remembered that Gabriella had taken the rest before he left, "Sorry, I'm out of that. It's my wife… She, she emptied my wallet before I left home."

"Sure, it's the wife's fault now," she said, "Either you pay, or I'll kick you out at the next station!"

Troy was about to answer, when someone interrupted them:

"I'll pay for him."

They turned around, only to find the mystery woman looking at them from her seat. Troy's breath hitched in his throat. Her eyes were piercing brown. But not that hard brown-colour. They were chocolate coloured brown.

He knew those eyes.

Okay, so we know it is a bit short for a first chapter, but seriously, we didn't expect it to be so short, it just happened! And well, if anyone have seen the movie or read the book, you'll probably not find too many differences. But really, it's only the beginning that we've gotten from ´Derailed´, the ending will not be the same at all.


And yeah, please do leave us a review and tell us what you think .

Tootles, MelleG and Stessa.

Peace out!
