So I know that most of the reviews I'm probably going to get from this story are going to be flames. Just thought I'd let you know that the pairings aren't great ones and that the characters will be OC. Heck, I don't like most of the pairings either, but I really wanted to turn this into a hsm story. The characters in the song aren't exactly great people either, so there you go. Flame away lol.

The Night the Lights Went Out In Georgia – Vicki Lawrence (later by Reba McEntire)

Ms. Sharpay Evans stood by the window, waiting for her niece to drive up the driveway. She hadn't seen her in a few years, and she was very late. You see Sharpay was anything but a patient person, so this was getting extremely hard for her to do.

Sharpay's niece was her twin brother Ryan's daughter. Sharpay had raised little Harmony Evans since the age of 2 months after her mother mysteriously disappeared and her father was arrested and convicted of murder.

Little Harmony had grown up and had graduated from college with a journalism degree. She was working in Austin, Texas at one of the larger newspapers there. Her editor had just given her permission to come back to her hometown of Albuquerque to do her best to figure out the mystery of her parents and to do a series of articles about it. Harmony was determined to find her mother if she was even alive and to figure out why her dad had killed one of his closest friends.

Sharpay smiled as she saw her niece's new car finally drive up. She watched as Harmony let herself in and a minute later heard her come in the room she was in.

"Hi Sharpay!" She squealed and hugged her from behind before Sharpay could turn away from the window.

"Hello Harmony." Sharpay replied happily, finally turning around after Harmony had let go of her. "How was your trip?"

"It was good, too long, but good." She replied as the two sat down at a small table near the window where there was a rather large box sitting.

"Is this the information?" Harmony asked excitedly as she started to open the box.

"Yes, it most definitely is." Sharpay replied smiling grimly as she watched Harmony start pulling out photo albums and newspaper clippings. Sharpay grabbed a piece of paper out of her pocket and handed it to Harmony. She looked up at her aunt confused.

"I suggest you call on these people and ask them what they know about the incident." Sharpay said.

"Why? Who is Zeke Baylor? Chad Danforth?" Harmony asked reading some of the names off the paper.

"Just tell them who you are and I'm sure that they'll talk to you. Now I need to tell you more about this murder since I never told you all of it." Sharpay replied as Harmony put down the piece of paper and watched her aunt intensely. "What exactly do you know about this mystery?"

"I know that my mom was cheating on my dad, so he went and murdered his close friend that was the one cheating." Harmony replied, looking rather uncertain about what the woman who had raised her from an infant was going to tell her.

"Here's the thing. The man that was cheating with your mother was my fiancé." Sharpay responded as she leant back in her chair and watched the look of horror cross Harmony's face.

"No!" She replied in shock. It couldn't be true, could it? Why hadn't her aunt ever told her that before?

"Yes." Sharpay said solemnly. "Now why don't you go call up those people?"

"Ok I will. Oh and is it okay if the photographer I got can stay here too?" Harmony asked blushing.

Sharpay smiled knowingly. "He isn't just the photographer is he?"

"No, he's my boyfriend."

"That's fine then, the guest room is clean. Good luck with everything."

"So are you sure that your aunt is okay with me staying at her house?" Asked Jim Rivers as he took out his camera.

"I'm sure!" Harmony said as they walked together though the cemetery towards her aunt's fiancé's grave. "I just can't believe she didn't tell me before that my dad had killed her fiancé!"

"No kidding, that's not something I would have thought she would have kept from you." Jim responded as he grabbed Harmony's hand that didn't have her paper and pen in it.

"I don't know why I hadn't ever tried to figure out the mystery before either. Most of it just doesn't make sense! She also said that my mom and her fiancé were high school sweethearts." Harmony said as she and Jim stopped in front of Troy Bolton's grave. Next to it was the grave of his mother. She remembered hearing about how she had mysteriously died too. Seemed like the Bolton's had early deaths running in the family.

"I'm sorry, but your family honestly creeps me out." Jim said laughing a bit.

"No argument there. Just don't make my aunt mad, she gets crazy if you do that! I'm just surprised I don't go insane when I get mad since apparently it's hereditary." She replied taking notes about the grave in front of her as she vaguely wondered why Troy couldn't get over the fact that his high school sweetheart had been married.

Ryan Evans was exhausted. Ever since his father had died the year before, he had too much to do. It wasn't just that he had to deal with his father dying, he had been left the family business, and had to take care of it also. So this is how Ryan found himself in an airplane on his way home from Paris. He was very excited to get home and see his wife and baby girl Harmony.

He picked up the phone on the back of the plane seat in front of him and called his sister. She had actually come through for Ryan also and was taking part of the work load off of him and helping him run the business. It had come as a shock to everyone that she was even willing to help, let alone be the one to offer it first. He was glad that she had finally gotten it through her thick head that she wasn't the most important person on the planet. She had even somehow found herself engaged to none other than Troy Bolton. Go figure.

"Come on Shar, pick up!" He muttered as he listened to the continual ringing. Strange….. She didn't even answer her cell phone. She always answered her cell phone.

So what do you all think so far? Thanks for reading :)
