A/N: ok this is my Troyella, it was going to be a one shot but I fell inlove with it. Sorry. I hope you love it too.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"No, Gabi, I don't believe you." A 7 year old Troy Bolton said to his best friend, Gabriella Montez. The two were next-door neighbours and had been best friends ever since Gabriella's family had moved in around 3 years ago. They were currently in Troy's backyard and he was almost crying as she had just told him that she was moving.
"Well you have to. I wouldn't lie to you Troy. Mummy told me we are leaving next week." Gabriella was equally upset but was a lot less sensitive then her best friend and got angry instead of sad.
"But then you are leaving right before you turn 7, that's not fair. We are supposed to be together forever and get married." Troy now did have tears running down his face.
Troy and Gabriella liked each other. They had as much of a crush on each other as a 6 or 7 year old could have. They didn't really understand the whole "crush" concept of course. They just knew that they liked each other, a lot. They knew that grown up boys and grown up girls who liked each other would do gross things like kissing before they got married and lived together forever. Both Troy and Gabriella took it for granted that they would end up married. After all why not? They were a boy and a girl? They liked each other? Why would it be any more complicated then that?
(A/N: by the way, if anyone doubts that these young kids could really think like that, I'll just say that I am writing this bit from personal experience. I still have the plastic engagement ring my old best friend gave me when he and I were only like… 5 or something.
"I know Troy. It's completely unfair!" the fiery young girl now screwed up her face in anger. "I told mummy that I wasn't going anywhere and that she would have to drag me out. And then she said that she couldn't help where her boss moved her to. And then I said that I hated her boss! And then I…" Gabriella's voice softened as she realised Troy was crying. She walked over and put her arm around him. "Mummy says that we might be coming back one day, in ummm…" her face screwed up again but this time in concentration, she poked out her fingers one at a time as she counted under her breath, "...four, five, six. Six! Six years."
"Six years! But Gabi what am I supposed to do without you?" Troy asked, his chin wobbling from his efforts to stop crying, "you know that I get teased when your not around."
"I know Troy, but you just have to be brave. Make jokes to Zeke or Jason when they are mean to you, I know you can be funny. And join in with Chad and the others when they play sports, even though you are afraid of the ball. Do you promise to be brave and stand up for yourself?" as she asked this she put her pinkie finger out so that he could promise.
"Yes, Gabi, I promise, for you." Troy joined his pinkie with hers. "But Gabi, you didn't tell me about girls. I'm so shy that you're the only girl I can talk to. And the only other girl who talks to me is Sharpay and she's so scary I wish she wouldn't."
"I know, I left it out on purpose. I don't want you talking to other girls, in case you forget about me."
"I could never forget about you Gabi, we're going to be married remember?"
"Yeah I remember, it's just that I will be away for so long." Now she was trying hard not to cry, which is really amazing as Gabriella is known for being the only girl who never cries.
"I just had an idea! Don't go anywhere." Troy said before running into his house and leaving Gabriella alone in the backyard. However she wasn't alone for long because in only about 10 seconds he was running back out to her. And now he was holding something.
"Here Gabi take this, for your birthday, and so that you don't forget me." He was holding out a small and very shabby brown bear. One of it eyes was loose and the stuffing was starting to fall out because of how often it had been hugged.
"Troy! I can't take Brown Bear, he is the only thing that helps you sleep at night. Remember when you left him at my house? Your mum had to come and get him at 2 in the morning because you wouldn't stop crying."
"But, I want you to take him."
"No, there is no way I am leaving my best friend alone and without brown bear. I refuse!" she stated dramatically. "Besides I have a better idea, come on!"
She grabbed Troy's arm and pulled him over to the short wall that separated their backyards. He had looked upset but was now excited because when Gabriella had an idea it meant he was in for a lot of fun. Just like they had done so many times before, Gabriella quickly climbed to the top of the wall and put her hand down to help Troy up, before jumping into her backyard and helping him down again. She then pulled him into her house and up to her bedroom, only stopping shortly in the kitchen to quickly yell "I hate your boss!" to her mother.
Once in her room Gabriella grabbed one of the crayons on her small desk.
"Okay, now I know how you can never forget me." She took brown bear from troy and wrote on his stomach (it wasn't hard because almost all of his fur was gone).
"Gabi + Troy
Best Friends Forever"
"Now you will always remember me see? And know that no other girl is allowed to be your best friend."
As usual Troy was amazed at how smart she was, but now he had another problem.
"Gabi, if you don't take brown bear then what will I give you for your birthday? And how are you going to remember me?"
It was now that something completely unheard of happened, Gabriella blushed. "Well actually Troy, there is something…"
"Really?" he was very relieved as he was never the one to come up with ideas. "What is it? I'll give you anything I can."
"Ummm… well I was wondering if you could maybe just ummm… k-kiss me?" Gabriella was now bright red, looking at anything but Troy. Troy on the other hand was staring at her like he had never seen her properly before.
"But Gabi, you think kissing is gross remember? You said you didn't understand why all the girls in our class were starting to talk about it."
"I know, but, it's just, I'm going away for so long, and since we are going to get married anyway, I thought maybe we could just have our first kiss now. Unless you want to have it with someone else?" Now Gabriella looked straight at him her eyes flashing in case he did say he liked another girl.
"No, all other girls are weird, if I'm going to kiss anyone I defiantly want it to be you. So what I mean h-how exactly do we do this?"
"It's really easy, just follow what I do." Gabriella was trying to sound confident because honestly she had no idea.
In later years if the two could've seen themselves they would have laughed. The kids were standing very far apart, had their eyes squeezed shut and their lips pushed out. They were slowly leaning in, then as soon as their lips touched for a millisecond….
"Eww!"
"Gross!"
"Why would anyone want to do that?" Troy asked a moment later. They had both run to the bathroom and rinsed their mouths out several times.
"I don't know, grown ups are crazy," Gabriella replied before changing the subject, if Troy kept talking about the kiss she might have to admit that she didn't actually mind it that much, "like my mums boss, making us move, it's so mean!"
"I'm really going to miss you Gabi." Troy said turning to hug his best friend.
"I'm going to miss you too." She said as she returned his hug. But now I'll never forget you, she thought to herself, because you were my first kiss Troy Bolton.
