"Are you sure you'll be okay with them two?" Taylor asked her friend of 5 years.

"Oh my god, I've babysat them before. Go. It's your 10 year anniversary. You deserve to go. We'll be fine" said Sharpay to calm her.

Taylor nodded and smiled. She turned to her four year old son and hugged him tight: "Be a good boy to aunt Sharpay, okay?"

The little boy nodded and gave his mom a big smile: "I will, mommy".

Chad turned towards their 9 year old daughter and gave her a hug also: "Make sure your brother doesn't give Sharpay a hard time. Keep him in line, okay Sam?"

Samantha aka Sam saluted her dad and gave him and her mom a smile: "Don't worry, I'll show who's boss".

Taylor hugged Sharpay one last time: "Okay, so the numbers are on the fridge and we bought everything the kids could need and if there's anything then.."

Sharpay rolled her eyes and interrupted her friends rambling: "I know, I know. Call you as soon as possible." She put her two hand on her shoulder: "Calm down. I'm not babysitting them for the first time. You've been away before".

"But not for two weeks" she said with worry in her voice.

"Do you trust me?" Sharpay asked.

Taylor looked at Chad and nodded. She gave the kids one last hug and then got into the car.

Sharpay and the kids were standing near the door and waved them good bye. She looked at her friends, who deserved this vacation. They were dedicated parents and workaholics. To this day it surprised Sharpay that she was friends with them. They never got along in high school, but after Sharpay's big change, they grew to become best friends and now and then she helps them out by looking after their two kids.

She walked back into the house with the kids, putting Will down and closing the door.

Will automatically ran to the backyard to continue playing with his toys and Samantha started walking upstairs.

Sharpay looked at her go: "Where you going, Sam?"

"To my room. I got to study" the nine year old answered her.

"Study? It's a friday" Sharpay said with a surprised tone.

"Yeah, but I got a lot to do and beside, I like to study" she answered Sharpay with a confident smile.

Sharpay laughed a little and shook her head: "Your so like your mom, she was a bookworm too".

Samantha laughed with her and went into her room.

Sharpay looked around the house and sighed to herself: "I guess I'll go make dinner".

Troy walked out of the airport and spotted a cab right away. He put his bag in the trunk and sat inside.

"Where to, pal?" the cab driver asked him.

Troy got a piece of paper out of her pocket and took a look at it: "Um, 6115 Paseo del Norte, please".

The driver nodded and took off to the destination.

Troy leaned back and sighed. He was back in his home town. It was strange, but good at the same time. He hadn't been back there for over 7 years. He didn't know what was going on. After high school he moved to California and his parents moved a few years after with him. He had hold contact with Chad over the years and he also knew about the kids he and Taylor had. So he was heading over to them. It's been a very long time since he saw his best friend. Chad had invited him to stay for a while in their home. Troy was going through a bad divorce with Gabriella and he had just gotten fired from his job, so Chad thought a nice change of scenery would do him good and of course then he could see the kids and get to know them better. But what Troy didn't know and what Chad forgot to tell him, was that he wouldn't expect to see them, but Sharpay instead.

When the cab driver pulled up to the house, Troy payed the man with a tip and got his bag from back. Chad's house was a nice family home. Big, white and with a big yard. He walked to the front door and rang the bell. He fixed his hair and waited for his friends to answer.

Sam opened the door and smiled wide when he saw Troy. She remembered him from the last time she saw him and her dad has shown them a lot of pictured of the two. She jumped to hug him: "Troy".

Troy smiled and hugged her back: "Hey, kiddo. You've grown up. Look at you. A young women I see"

Sam smiled happily and crabbed his hand: "Come inside".

Troy did what he was told. He looked around the house, but it was quiet: "Where's your parents?"

Sam looked up at him with a confused look: "Didn't they tell you?"

Now Troy was confused: "Tell me what?"

"They left a few hours ago to Hawaii. It's their 10 year anniversary today, so they took a vacation" Sam answered.

"Well I think your dad forgot to tell me. Are you two on your own?" he asked her.

Sharpay walked out of the kitchen, brushing her hands in her apron. She was looking down and didn't see anyone in the hallway, so she shouted: "SAM, GET YOUR BROTHER AND LET'S EAT!"

"I'm right here, aunt PayPay" Sam told her, while rubbing her ears from her shouting.

"Oh, I didn't see you there. Who's your.." that's when she recognized the man standing in front of Samantha. The Golden Boy of East High, Troy Bolton. She was completely shocked to see him right there and she..she was wearing a apron.

"Sharpay Evans?" Troy was also shocked. He hadn't seen her since graduation and there she was again, in Chad's and Taylor's house.

Samantha looked at the two adults and shook her head: "I'll get Will cleaned up for dinner". She turned around and walked outside to get her brother.

"Hi" Sharpay said. That was the only thing she could get out of her mouth.

Troy finally put his bag down and said the same, but also added: "What are you doing here?"

"I should ask you the same question" she answered him.

"I'm here to see Chad and Taylor. They invited me to stay here for some time" he answered her question, why he was there.

"Oh, well they're on.." she was about to say.

"..vacation. I know. Samantha told me. Are you the nanny?" he asked her, while raising a eyebrow.

She was embarrassed. In high school she was at the top. The queen and now she was living in a one bedroom apartment and working as a store clerk, with a part time job as Taylor and Chad's nanny: "Sort of, I'm doing this as a gift for them".

"Gift? Wait, are you guys friends now?" he asked her with a confused tone.

Sharpay nodded and took the phone from the wall. She threw it to him: "You can ask Chad. I'm gonna get the table ready".

Troy watched Sharpay walk back to the kitchen and he was confused if that really was her. She looked a lot like her, but with more casual clothes and nicer? So she took her advice and called Chad.

"Hey, man. What's up?" Chad answered with a happy tone.

"Hey, so a funny story. I'm standing in your hallway and your not here" he said.

"Oh, shit. I totally forgot that you were coming. This vacation was kinda out of the blue. I'm so sorry, man" Chad answered him.

"No, it's okay. I'll go stay in a hotel" he answered back.

"No, dude. I invited you and so you can stay and we'll see each other when we get back" Chad told him, but more like ordered.

"Are you sure?" he was hesitating.

"Yeah, totally. You can help Shapray with the kids" Chad answered him.

"Yeah, about that..Sharpay? Since when are you friends with her?" he questioned.

"Oh, I guess I never told you. Yeah, Taylor became friends with her a long time ago and she's changed. She's really cool now. Not like what she was in High School" Chad answered Troy.

"Yeah, come on, dude. She's Sharpay. Does she really change?" Troy asked.

"Hey, she's a really good friend to me too now, so give her a chance. Okay, I got to go now. We're boarding the plane. Have fun and I'll see you in two weeks." Chad said and ended the call.

Troy lowered the phone and looked at it. He was thinking about what Chad said. Can a person really change so much after high school? He saw the kids run into the kitchen, so he followed them in. She saw how Sharpay sat Will in his high chair and put his plate near him.

Sharpay saw Troy looking at her from the doorway: "So what did Chad say?".

"Oh, I guess I'm staying here until they get back. He forgot to tell me about their vacation" he answered her.

Sharpay nodded and took her seat next to Will and looked at Troy: "Sit down. We're having chicken for dinner. I bet airplane food wasn't that tasty".

Troy nodded at her and took a seat across the table from Sharpay. He looked at the food and smiled: "This looks actually really good".

"Thank you. Chicken is my specialty" she said proudly, giving him a small smile.

"Chickeeeeeeeen" Will said while holding up the birds leg.

"Will, that's for eating not playing" she put the chicken back down on the plate and showed him how to eat it.

Troy looked at Sharpay how he helped the kids with dinner, how she laughed when Will did something with his food. Maybe she did change, I guess he'll find out more in these two weeks.
