Trick or Truth?
Zac and Vanessa are friends, and Vanessa's best friend Ashley, is the most gullible person in the world. Vanessa can make her believe anything, and she will believe it, until Vanessa's tells her it's not true.
On one occasion Vanessa told Ashley that Leonardo DeCapreo, would be meeting them for lunch, and she bought it. She only realized it was a joke, when Zac came prancing up to her saying 'Hey! You must be Ashley… I'm Leo' and then burst into laughter.
Or the time when Vanessa told Ashley she had won the lottery, on April Fools! She still believed her… that was until, Zac came through the door with a big cheque, that said 'April Fools Ash!' Ashley stomped out of room, in laughter and in tears.

Ashley's Apartment
Zac, Vanessa, and Ashley are getting ready to go out to dinner, with Kenny Ortega, to discuss some things on High School Musical 3, and also to catch up with their friend.
"V, does this look ok?" Ashley questioned, looking into the mirror, observing what she was wearing.
"I think it's a bit too casual Ash… we are going to a pretty fancy restaurant!" Vanessa stated, showing her a brochure of the restaurant.
"True… ok… Well do you reckon this dress will be ok?" Ashley held up a 3 quarter length blue dress.
"Yep… that looks great!" Vanessa exclaimed, fingering the fabric.
"Just like you do… jeez Ness, you look… hot!" Ashley giggled.
"Thanks! After you put that dress on, you'll look great too!" Vanessa smirked.
"Come on guys… just pick something already!" Zac could not grasp the concept why chicks took so long to get dressed.
"Zac… we don't have to leave for like another 1 and a half" Vanessa stated, wit a roll of her eyes.
"So then why are you getting ready now then?" Zac asked, sitting on the bed.
"Because if we get ready now… then we can relax, and not stress! Like you are! And besides… whats it to you whether or not we hurry and pick something?" Vanessa stopped in her tracks, with Ashley doing the same.
"Because its frustrating watching you go through your hole wardrobe, just to pick something out!" Zac pointed to the pile of clothes on the floor.
"And who says you have to watch us anyway?" Ashley said, walking into the bathroom, to have a shower.
"Shut up! There is nothing else for me to do… Argh!" Zac groaned, flopping back onto the bed, scrunching his hair.
Meanwhile, Ashley was singing in the shower, and washing her hair.
Suddenly an idea came over Zac.
"Ness…" Zac whispered, making sure Ashley couldn't hear him.
"Yeah? Why are you whispering?" Vanessa asked, loudly.
"Shhhh! Come here…" Zac silenced her.
"What?" Vanessa sat down beside him, ready to listen to his 'grand idea'.
"Ok… you know how we can make Ash believe anything right?" Zac pointed out, quietly.
"Yeah… whats your point?" Vanessa asked, looking into his eyes. Wow… I could stare at him like this forever.
"Ok… well… oh shit! Too late, she's coming… just follow my lead… Hey Ash!" Ashley walked out of the bathroom, drying her hair with her towel, and with her fluffy pink dressing gown on.
"Nice shower?" Zac asked, putting his hand around Vanessa's waist.
Why is he holding my waist…? I could get used to this… She smirked.
"Oh it was great, I—" Ashley stopped, to find Zac and Vanessa closer than ever.
"What's going on here?" She questioned, with a smile spreading to a cheek on each side.
"Oh… shit… Vanessa… we weren't supposed to tell her yet…" Zac lied.
"Tell me what?"
"Yeah… tell her what?"
Both girls looked confused. Zac nudged Vanessa, encouraging her to play along.
"It's ok Nessa, we can tell her now babe" Zac said, pulling Vanessa closer, and meeting his hand to his other, with her gripped in between his arms.
Finally, Vanessa caught on the joke, and started to play along.
"Yeah, true. Sorry! I know we weren't meant to tell her yet!"
"Ok… if someone doesn't tell me whats going on right now!—" Ashley moved towards them, and separated them, waiting for an explanation.
"What does it look like Ash?" Vanessa moved back to Zac, putting her hands around his neck, with her heart racing at a million miles and hour. This feels so right.
"Yeah, we…" Zac cleared his throat "Love… eachother" Well… I do anyway, Zac thought.
"WHAT? You mean to say that you guys… are… are… Together?!" Ashley got louder and louder.
"Actually no… we were actually joking!" Vanessa exclaimed.
"V… why did you say that for? It was work—"
"I was joking… baby…" Vanessa giggled. She almost got Zac for a minute there.
"So then you are together?" Ashley's eyes widened.
"Umm… Yeah! Yes, we are!" Vanessa tightened her grip around his neck, and same with Zac around her waist.
"Oh My God! I cannot believe this—" A thought crossed Ashley's mind.
"— Is this another one of your jokes?" Her eyes squinted, she was catching on to them.
"It is isn't it?" Ashley looked back and forth at each of them, with Zac and Vanessa falling silent.
"Well… ahhh…" Vanessa mumbled.
"I knew it! Ok… you can stop your little joke now!" Ashley laughed.
"No wait! If you don't believe us… then we'll prove it!" Vanessa blurted out, with Zac widening his eyes at her, and Vanessa falling bright red.
"How?" Ashley asked, getting tricked back into the game.
"Yeah… How?" Now Zac was confused.
"Well… I'm not exactly sure… but—"
"I know!" Ashley paced, thinking of what they could do, she then stopped in her tracks "Kiss"
"Excuse Me?" "What?" They said in unison.
"You heard me… Kiss!" Ashley repeated.
"I don't think—" Zac was interrupted.
"Well… if you can't prove it with a kiss… then I don't believe you!" Ashley giggled; she was still a bit confused, on what the truth was.
"Fine!" Zac pulled Vanessa in towards him, with her hips, and planted a powerful kiss on her lips.
Oh My God… he is such a good kisser! I could stay here forever… I wish this were real.
Holly Shit! I'm kissing Vanessa! Now! She is so beautiful.
"There!" Zac yelped, with Vanessa almost falling over from shock. I just kissed Zac Efron.
"Ok… well that explains a lot!" Ashley was shocked. Are they actually telling the truth?
"Vanessa! I'm so glad you are finally with him, jeez! You have been blabbering about him long enough, saying how much you love him, and how much you want to be with him—" Vanessa could not believe Ashley was saying this. She was gesturing her to stop, but she wouldn't.
"… and you Mr. Efron… thank God! Finally, you told her, hey? It took you guys long enough… to figure out the way you feel about eachother!" Ashley was so happy for them.
She suddenly realized that this WAS all a joke, because Vanessa and Zac had let go of eachother and an awkward feeling filled the room. They both went bright red, and gave her an evil stare.
"Oh shit! Umm… I have to go… umm… wash my hair!" Ashley lied, of course, that was the first thing that popped into her head, she had just washed her hair. She needed an excuse to escape her long and painful death.
Ashley ran into the bathroom, lecturing herself on what she just did.
Zac and Vanessa were left alone.
