A/N: Just to start off with, this is my first fan fiction story so I'm still working on style and plot lines. Also, I KNOW this isn't High School Musical, but I hope that you guys give the story a chance because it is half inspired by past HSM fanfic stories that I have read. It has a catchy plot and some of my close friends and family have read it and have wanted more. I have a shorter story written out so right now I am just working to extend it into the full story… PLEASE give it a chance, just because it isn't direct HSM characters or plot doesn't mean you can see a relation between the two. Also, feedback would help so much so I know where to go further in the story, in which I don't really have written yet b/c I just have the first ten or so done… I have a feeling that this is going to be LONG. THANKS

Disclaimer: It's really not taken from anywhere, but just on the record, I don't own HSM, that was mentioned above.

You, Me, and a Little Fate

Background Story

Derrick Xavier Heedly and Heather Ann Bearlen were destined to be best friends. Their families were extremely close and they clung to each other in an instant. As children, they spent many hours playing various childhood games and activities, some of which included being married in a fake wedding ceremony and exploring the vast woods near their Worcester, Massachusetts neighborhood. Derrick and Heather would sit outside on warm nights and talk about life while starring at the night stars. As they grew older, these talks became more descriptive and long term, the conversations covered everything from their wedding, living location, to the issue of future children, four to be exact. As a pair, the young couple felt that they were going to have a fairy-tale life, in which Derrick would be in the NBA and Heather would be a Pharmacist. Derrick and Heather had everything planned and they never thought that anything could tear it apart, or at least they thought.
