FEEDBACK: I'd absolutely love you if you did!

RATING: Rated T because of the cuteness of Troy and Gabriella and because of a little hot flashback

Summary: "Gabriella there is something I've been wanting to ask you and I think right now is the best time. So Gabriella will you…?" ONE-SHOT All main couples but focused on TxG

This is my entry for JB's theme which states: We all know that Vanessa just purchased her first house, right?? Well she will have many firsts, just like when she was making HSM (wink wink), and I want you to write about Gabriella's first Christmas in her new house. Will she be spending it with the wildcats, the love of her life, or both?

"Troy stop the gang will be here any minute." The brunette giggled as the boy placed another kiss on her neck.

"Brie you know you love when I do this." And to make his point clear he kissed her neck again and watched as she melted in his arms.

"No I don't." Troy looked at her with a 'not buying it' face. "Fine I love it when you do that but not right now."

"Hmm does that mean I can do it later?" His questioned was answered with a slap to the head just as the doorbell rang. "Abusive much Gabs?" Gabriella opened the door to see Chad and Taylor.

"Hey guys come on in." Chad walked over to Troy and did their handshake while Gabriella and Taylor shared a hug.

"I still can't believe you got your own house. I still have to live with my parents."

"Honestly I still can't believe it Taylor."

"I remember the exact day Gabs . I came over and when I got there…" Gabriella covered Troy's mouth with her hand.

"Troy I don't think they want to here that story." At first Troy looked a little confused. "Remember what we did. I don't think we need to tell them."

"Tell us what. I want to know the story. C'mon Troy tell us." Chad was always the jumpy type. Whenever someone was able to tell a flashback he got all excited.

"Gabs we might as well tell them. Because Chad here will never give up." After much debating, Gabriella agreed to let Troy tell the story.

Flashback

A few weeks ago a 22 year old Gabriella Montez had finished purchasing her new house. She had immediately called her boyfriend of over 4 years, Troy, and told him to come over. She gave him the address and waited patiently for him to come. As soon as the doorbell rang she ran over and opened it.

"Hey Brie, I can't believe you got your own house."

"I know Wildcat. I'm still in shock about it all. I mean this is my house. I'm really on my own now." Troy wrapped his arms around her and laid his head on her shoulder.

"You'll never be on your own Gabs. You have Taylor, Chad, Sharpay.."

"And not to mention you Troy. I'll always have you." Troy turned Gabriella around in his arms. Her arms automatically went around his neck.

"Yes you will Gabs. I'll never leave your side. It'll be you and me forever." Gabriella smiled and leaned up to kiss Troy. Almost immediately he responded back. Soon enough air was needed and both pulled back smiling. "Hey Gabs I brought those pictures you asked me for. But why do you want them?"

"I needed a little something personal to brighten up this place. And I think a few pictures of you will do the trick."

"Alright but is there a reason I had to bring this one?" He pointed to a picture of a smaller version of him with a diaper and cape on pretending to be 'Super Troy' , as he called himself.

"If I ever need a laugh or need to brighten up a party then I could pull out that picture and everyone will laugh."

"I don't think I want everybody to see this picture. I'm not even sure I want to give it to see." Said an embarrassed Troy.

"Fine I'll leave it up in my bedroom. I can look at it before I go to sleep and see how adorable 'Super Troy' was." Gabriella laughed as she said the last part. Troy watched her, his cheeks getting redder every second that passed by.

"Hey, Super Troy was the best superhero ever. Remember that time I saved Chad from the evil sticky monster"

"If you mean the bubble gum incident then yes. But I remember that your mom had to come in and save you." The two were talking about the time when Chad got bubble gum stuck in his baby afro. Troy tired to help get it out, but instead got some in his own hair. Needless to say some hair was cut off.

"Alright I'll admit it wasn't my best idea but I'm sure there have been worse before." A silence formed between the two. But a comfortable silence at that. Troy took this time to study Gabriella's features. She had matured from a beautiful 17 year old to a gorgeous 22 year old. She still had the same laugh that Troy could listen to all day. In Troy's mind, her kisses seemed to get better over the years. He never thought he could feel this way about someone but it was possible.

"What are you thinking about Wildcat?" He smiled, how he loved her high school nickname.

"Just how you've matured so much over the years. You're not the same Gabriella I met back in junior year. You are so much more beautiful and sophisticated. I don't know what I did to deserve you, but I'm glad I did it." It was Gabriella's turn to smile at Troy's words.

"We were really made for each other weren't we Troy?" He nodded as he brought his lips down to meet Gabriella's in a soft kiss.

"Wait if all I'm going to hear is all your lovey-dovey talking and kissing, then I don't think you need to continue."

"Too bad Chad. I already started so I'm going to finish." Gabriella and Taylor held back a laugh as Chad slumped back in his chair.

"I think everything is finally in place. Thanks for coming over to help Troy. But I think this place needs one last thing to be perfect."

"What is that Gabs?"

"Well I will tell you that it starts in the living room, maybe the dining room, possibly the hallway, and ending," The last part came out in a whisper, "in the bedroom." Without letting Troy comprehend what she meant, Gabriella brought Troy's head down and kissed him with a passion he had never felt before. She walked the two backwards until they fell onto the couch, Gabriella under Troy.

"You mean you want us to have se-----" Gabriella cut Troy off by placing her lips back on his. Troy's hands made their way under Gabriella's shirt to caress her soft skin. Gabriella also had some wandering hands. They had started in his hair and had made their way to under his shirt, running up and down his chest. His shirt was soon tossed off, followed by hers. Next Troy's hands wandered to Gabriella's back and skillfully unclasped her bra. After showing attention to each breast, he then worked his way down to her jeans. He quickly unbuttoned them taking them and her underwear off. Soon after Troy's pants and boxers were off too. "Wait Gabs do you have any…" Smiling, she pulled a box out of a desk located nearby. "So you had all of this prepared before I came?"

"Troy stop talking and just kiss me." Without an argument Troy kissed her while placing the item on Gabriella gave him on. Without hesitation, he thrust into her. He started at a slow pace until Gabriella caught on and set a rhythm. Moans and groans filled the house as the two joined for the first of many times that night.

End Flashback

"I told you I didn't want to hear the rest of that."

"Here the rest of what?" Was asked as Zeke, Sharpay, Ryan, Martha, Jason, and Kelsi entered the house.

"Trust me Zeke, you guys don't want to know. Just be glad you weren't here." Chad said, still a little freaked out.

"Well Chad you should've asked what it was about before I told you." Gabriella and Taylor were laughing hysterically as they watched the scene before them.

"Aww poor Chad. He'll never be able to look at Troy and Gabriella the same again." This caused Gabriella and Taylor to laugh even more.

"Well I have no idea what you guys are talking about but I brought gifts." Gabriella showed Zeke where to put the gifts while every one else was greeted.

"So what should we do guys?"

"How about an old fashioned game of Truth or Dare?"

Truths were spilled and dares were down. Let's just say it would take a while to Chad to grow part of his afro back. It was now time to hand out the gifts. Taylor was the first to open her gifts.

"Gabs I can't believe you found this. I've been looking for it forever." It was a copy of a book Taylor had been wanting, The Evolution of Society.

"I found it at the bookstore. After you told me about it, I went out the next day and found it."

"Every time I went they never had it."

"Well I just happened to pick up the last copy and I even had it signed by the author." Taylor got up and went over to hug her best girl friend.

"You are the best friend a girl could ever have." Other gifts she got included a scrapbook from Chad, tickets to a science fiction movie from Jason, a new watch from Sharpay. "Alright Chad I have something for you." She handed over the present to Chad. His eyes widened as he opened the gift.

"You got me front seat tickets to a Lakers game! You are the best Taylor." He pulled Taylor into a quick kiss before turning to Troy. "Hoops, you're coming with me right?"

"Miss out on the chance to sit that close to the Lakers? No way!" Troy took the other ticket as he thanked Taylor for getting them for Chad. Other presents were given out. Ryan getting another hat, Kelsi getting a songbook, Jason getting a camera, Martha getting cd's, Sharpay getting clothes, and Zeke getting a new cookbook. The only ones left were Troy and Gabriella.

"Troy I actually have 2 gifts for you. The first one I know you'll love but I don't know about the second."

"Brie you know I'll love anything you get me." Gabriella smiled as she handed Troy the 2 gifts. When he opened the first gift, he was speechless.

"You got me an autographed basketball? Signed by all the Lakers players! How did you get this?"

"My dad may just know the Lakers and may have mentioned to them that you're one of their biggest fans." Troy took Gabriella in his arms and kissed her with so much passion.

"Alright dude I already heard the story, I don't need to see this." Since the two didn't stop Chad decided to throw a pillow at them.

"Hey what was that for man?"

"You guys didn't stop so I had to go to drastic measures." Troy chucked the pillow back at Chad as he opened Gabriella's other gift.

"Now I wasn't sure if you would like it or not. I thought about not giving it to you but.." Troy silenced Gabriella by placing a finger on her lips.

"Gabs I love it. I don't know why you thought I wouldn't." She had made him a scrapbook of the two of them. It included pictures from when they were friends to the blooming relationship they still share. She had also written captions on each picture.

"It's just its not as good as the basketball so I thought you wouldn't like it."

"Well I love it Gabs. Almost as much as I love you." And the happy couple shared another kiss while the boys(mainly Chad) fake gagged.

"Alright Gabs I have a few things for you too. First I have this.." Troy handed Gabriella a small sized box, neatly wrapped. She opened it to find pictures frames with different pictures inside.

"Oh my gosh you actually got these pictures framed. I've wanted them for so long." Troy had framed 3 of Gabriella's favorite pictures. The first picture was Troy and Gabriella at his 18th birthday. That was the day that Troy asked her out. The next picture was the two of them in Gabriella's backyard, lying on the hammock. And the 3rd pictures was the two of them slow dancing as prom king and queen.

"Next I got you something that you can have if I not here." Troy took a small bear from behind his back. The bear was wearing a shirt that said 'Troy Loves Gabriella' "I know I won't be here all the time so you can squeeze that every time you miss me."

"I think this bear will be squashed with how much I always miss you." The gang laughed as Gabriella hugged the bear close to her chest.

"Alright I have one last gift. But I want to say something before I give it to you." Gabriella nodded as Troy continued. "Gabriella we met back in junior year of high school and have been together ever since. You are just too beautiful and you don't give yourself enough credit sometimes. You have everything that a guy could want. Beauty, smarts, sensitivity, bravery..etc. I don't know what I'd ever do without you."

"Troy what are you trying to say?" Gabriella had an idea but she let Troy continue.

"Gabriella there is something I've been wanting to ask you and I think right now is the best time. So Gabriella will you marry me?"

You're probably thinking that I forgot to end this story. But I did. Use your imagination to finish the story. Did she say yes or no?

Reviews make me happy!!! =]
