As for the pre-existing characters...NO MONEY IS MADE OFF OF THIS STORY!
In terms of the High School Musical characters' appearances in this story, this story takes place six months after the events of the 2008 Walt Disney Pictures feature film High School Musical 3: Senior Year.
Note: This story was written using information relating to High School Musical 3: Senior Year that was accurate as of 24 August 2008. There will be some aspects of this story that are contradicted by events in the finished film.
Also, due to the unusual set-up of the intra-story cliffhanger, I will use this story's Prologue to resolve the plot threads left dangling from Book 3: "Ohana, Interrupted." The real story of this Book will begin in Chapter 1. Thank you for your understanding.

Supplemental: Due to this site's "no song-fics" rule, I had to edit out the lyrics sung by "Team Chipmunk," Troy and Gabriella in the Prologue below. For the record, the song they sung was "Start of Something New" from the original High School Musical. It is therefore recommended to have a recording of the song available when reading this chapter. Once again, thank you for your understanding.
Previously in The Chipmunk Tour Saga, Book III-
"Ohana, Interrupted":
As Kelsi received her Hero's Cross, Troy turned to Alvin and Brittany. "Should I?" Troy asked. "Go for it!" Alvin said. Troy stepped forward. "Madam Councilwoman, may I speak?" Troy said. "The chair recognizes Ambassador's Aide Troy Bolton of the planet Earth," Khandravex said.
"Thank you, ma'am," Troy said. "I am aware, that over the last several hours, you who sit on this Council have been provided with a complete file on all of us so that you may understand what we have done for us and for you. You know what we do for fun, what we feel in our hearts, what it means to be human."
Troy turned and gestured to Stitch, Angel, Zeo and Johnny. "And while some of us whom you honor today are not human, all of us know what it means to be human. And one of those qualities..." Troy continued, moving over to take Gabriella by the hand and bring her forward.
"...means having the courage to move away from what is comfortable and journey to a new world, a new way of being. I shall demonstrate by an act of ultimate love," Troy finished. He reached into the pocket of his sport jacket and pulled out a white cast with a red stripe
Taking a deep breath, Troy fell to one knee, opening the case as he did so. Gabriella gasped when she saw the ring in the case. It was a gold ring, studded with rubies and diamonds. "Gabriella, ever since we sang 'Start of Something New' at that ski resort almost three of our years ago, I knew that one way or another, this day would come," Troy said.
Now knowing what Troy was up to, Gabriella began to cry. Troy looked into Gabriella's deep brown eyes and asked, "Gabriella Selena Montez, will you marry me?"
And now, the continuation...
Prologue
UNITED GALACTIC FEDERATION GRAND COUNCIL CHAMBER
PLANET TURO
Gabriella Montez was crying. But, it was for a reason that was pleasant. Her boyfriend of two years, Troy Bolton, had proposed to her in front of the entire United Galactic Federation Grand Council. She looked through eyes blurred by tears at Troy, who was waiting for a response.
"Well?" Troy said in a voice tinged with emotion. Gabriella looked over at Stitch and Angel, then said in Turoan, "Ih, boojiboo." (Yes, my love.) Then, in English, she added, "Yes, I will marry you." As Troy put the engagement ring on Gabriella's finger, the others on the platform on which the future Mr. and Mrs. Bolton stood began to sing.
After the first chorus, Troy looked away from Gabriella for a moment and saw the smiling faces of everyone on the platform with him. Especially potent were the smiles of Alvin and Brittany. Alvin and Brittany's smiles seemed to say to Troy, "Can you top this?"
Troy looked back at Gabriella. "Looks like we just got served, Gabi," Troy said. Gabriella sniffed back the tears that were still falling from her eyes and smiled. "Let's represent, Wildcat," she said. After a brief kiss, Troy and Gabriella stood up and turned towards Team Chipmunk.
"Hope you still know the words, Gabs," Troy whispered. "Like the back of my hand," Gabriella responded.
On the central dais, Khandravex, Grand Councilwoman of the Federation, watched the exchange between Team Chipmunk and the future Mr. and Mrs. Bolton with curiosity. So, she picked up a U.G.F. communicator and called Captain Gantu.
"Captain Gantu, what is this contest we are witnessing?" Khandravex said. "It appears to be a Terran competition called a 'throw-down,'" Gantu said. "A 'throw-down?'" Khandravex repeated. "Yes, ma'am," Gantu said. "Two groups with similar interests pit their skills against each other in order to see whose skills are superior."
"And who determines that?" Khandravex added. "The audience viewing the contest," Gantu said. "And before you ask, the main prize in a throw-down such as what we are witnessing is mainly bragging rights-the rights to say to fellow competitors in future contests that they are the best of the best."
"Thank you, Captain," Khandravex said before she closed the communicator. After the song ended, Khandravex stood and addressed the Council.
"Ladies and gentlemen of this Council, I thank our Hero's Cross winners for an impromptu demonstration of a Terran contest called a 'throw-down,'" Khandravex said. "Now, it is up to you, the members of this Council, to choose the winning team: Team Chipmunk or Team Montez-Bolton."
"On your displays, please vote the winner of this contest," Khandravex said. "Please vote now."
After all the votes were tabulated, the Council was evenly split: 55 members for Team Chipmunk versus 55 members for Team Montez-Bolton. "The Council is split, therefore I declare this contest a draw," Khandravex said.
With the awards ceremony complete, the reunited Team Chipmunk boarded the Astro Megaship for the return flight to Earth. As the ship cleared Turo's atmosphere, D.E.C.A. reported, "Ambassador Pelekai, I am receiving a transmission from the U.G.F. vessel Enterprise." "Put it through," Lilo said.
Gantu and Reuben appeared on the screen. "Lilo, if it is all right with you, we of Enterprise would be happy to escort you back to Earth," Gantu said.
"Of course, Captain. We will engage hyperdrive in thirty seconds. See you on the other side, guys. Megaship, out," Lilo said.
Twelve hours later, the Astro Megaship and the Enterprise came out of hyperspace near the boundaries of the Terran system. "Alvin, the ship is yours," Lilo said. "Thanks, Lilo," Alvin said. "D.E.C.A., contact Enterprise and tell them that they can head home." "Understood," D.E.C.A. said.
Once Enterprise turned around and set course back for Turo, Alvin turned to Lilo. "I never got the chance to ask you, Lilo, but let me ask now: Is there a person in your life that you have feelings for?" Alvin asked.
"Well, there's this boy I've had a crush on since before my parents were killed named Keoni-Keoni Jameson," Lilo said. "But every damn thing I've tried to do since we met only made me look like a horse's ass!"
"Well, I think I might be able to help you," Alvin said.
A few hours after the Astro Megaship landed back on Earth, Lilo decided to follow Alvin's advice. Luckily, the flowers Johnny-Keoni ordered were still available, so Lilo asked Alvin to teleport the flowers to Keoni's house. Attached to the flowers was a note. It read:
"To Mr. Keoni Jameson. I know you have a crush on that girl I saw you with at the Kamehameha Cup Classic last year. What was her name...Lilo, was it? Anyway, use these flowers and win her love. From A friend."
Later that day, Lilo's older sister Nani and her fiancè David Kawena were discussing their latest wedding plans when the door rang. Nani went to answer it. When she opened the door, Keoni stood on the other side.
"Good evening, Nani. Is Lilo home?" Keoni said. "Oh, yes, Keoni. Please come in. Lilo, you have a visitor!" Nani said.
Lilo walked in, followed by Stitch, Angel and Zeo. "Good evening, Keoni," Lilo said. She saw the bouquet of flowers in Keoni's arms. "Nice flowers," Lilo said. "Who're they for?" Keoni looked at Lilo and smiled. "They're for you," Keoni said.
Lilo looked up from the flowers and up at Keoni's face. "What?" Lilo said. "Someone apparently saw us at the Kamehameha Cup Classic last year. And besides..." Keoni said as he gave the flowers to Lilo. "...I love you," Keoni finished. "What the..." Lilo said.
"I love you," Keoni repeated. "I've always loved you, ever since we met eight years ago. Myrtle Edmonds tried to dissuade me from pursuing a relationship, saying that 'Weirdlo' would rub off on me. Well, Myrtle was right about one thing."
"What's that?" Lilo said. "You have rubbed off on me, but not the way Myrtle thought you would. Lilo Keali'i Pelekai, will you be my girlfriend?" Keoni asked.
Lilo started to cry. Stitch stepped forward, his claws extended. But Angel put her paw in Stitch's path. Stitch looked over at Angel, who shook her head.
Little did Lilo know that, aboard the Megaship, Alvin and Brittany were watching the entire scene. Finally, Lilo looked at Keoni and smiled through her tears. "Yes, Keoni. I would very much like to be your girlfriend," Lilo said before she and Keoni kissed to seal their new relationship.
The next night, after another successful concert at Aloha Stadium, the Chipmunk Adventure 20th Anniversary World Tour was ready to move to a new city. On the Bridge of the Megaship, Alvin turned to Brittany, seated at the Mission Ops station.
"Britt, what's our next stop?" Alvin asked. Brittany checked her boards, then reported, "XXX XXX in Albuquerque, New Mexico," she reported. As Brittany said that, Troy and Gabriella walked onto the Bridge.
"Albuquerque?" Gabriella said. "Why not get the gang together and tell them the news?" "Sounds like a good idea," Troy said. Then, D.E.C.A. reported, "Alvin, we have two individuals requesting clearance to board and join the tour. They are identified as Lilo Pelekai and Keoni Jameson. Jookiba Experiments 624 and 626, code designations Angel and Stitch, along with Jookiba Experiment Offspring Alpha, code designation Zeo, are also requesting boarding clearance and permission to join the tour."
"Permission granted. D.E.C.A, assign Ms. Pelekai, Mr. Jameson and the Experimental Family appropriate quarters," Alvin ordered. "Acknowledged," D.E.C.A. said. Then, to Johnny Five, Alvin said, "Johnny, make your course for Albuquerque, New Mexico, ¼ of max safe atmospheric speed."
"Aye, sir," Johnny said as he slid the engine enable lever forward.
The true beginning of our adventure comes next time...
