Holy fuckin' shit.
Just finished watching High School Musical 2, and I feel like I'm hungover, THAT'S how good it was. So to honor the Troyella in the movie which was actually beautifully pieced together, I think NOW is a good time to launch my newest full-length Troyella fic.
Psht, screw my other 31 stories.
This is the beginning of a new era, bitches.
Damn.
I am a hostage to my own humanity
Self detained and forced to live in this mess I've made
They were four young ladies, admired, revered, respected...
Sharpay squeezes Gabriella's hand on her left side and Taylor's on her right. Kelsi bounces anxiously on her toes as their graduating class is announced, propelling them into an unpredictable future...
They were expected to achieve their dreams, to go places in life, to be the people that inspired others...
Hugs, kisses, words of congratulations are tossed around in families. Proud smiles played out on Mrs. Montez's face, seeing the next step in their daughter's future.
But one last night together...
Four girls laugh over an enormous bowl of ice cream, injecting themselves back into childhood, a time where they did have to worry about GPAs, college applications, and valedictorian speeches...
One last crazy idea...
"The more and more I think about it... the less appealing college is." Sharpay ponders her deep thought as she taps a sticky spoon against her chin.
"You're sort of right. But we have to go. We don't have any other choice..." Gabriella shrugs.
"Of course we do! We have plenty of them. Loads of them..."
And this one statement initiates the beginning of adventure, but the end of their futures...
And four girls who actually go for it change everything.
Sharpay squeezes Kelsi's hand tightly as they gaze out the tiny oval of a window on the airplane. Somehow, what used to be their entire lives was now just a tiny dot on the map. And undetectible in the universe. Somehow, the stars had taken over and entered the eyes of the girls who had everything, but wanted more...
Friendships are only made stronger...
I don't know, Diary. I used to tell myself that I was nothing without my friends. And now, actually being here, actually experiencing my very thoughts is stimulating enough to believe. I really would be nothing without these girls.
Nothing.
Sincerely,
Gabriella
The Great Wide Somewhere actually becomes home...
Sharpay, Kelsi, Gabriella, and Taylor marvel in the stone beauty of Big Ben like they had for the past four days. They were determined to take in as much of the smoggy air, the cobblestone roads, and Typhoo as possible.
Until they're forced to go on the run once again.
And somehow, even in the middle of all of this, some sort of crazy love is created.
"What the hell are you doing?" An anonymous arm suddenly roughly takes hold of Gabriella, ripping her out of the middle of the road, slamming her against the scattered brick of a wall. Even though she's caught up in a pair of blue eyes, in the corner of her eye, the sight of a bull thundering down the road makes her heart thump in her ears.
She could have died.
"I... I... um..." Gabriella attempts to explain why she was stupidly standing in the middle of the road, but the man that saved her ass only smiled warmly and introduced himself.
"Troy." He watched her struggle for words, struggle for her composure, but nothing came, bringing him to only one conclusion: "Do you speak English?"
But one thing stands in the way of a true adventure...
Gabriella stares in horror at the screen of the television overhead. Crowds of people moved around her, but somehow, she and her closest friends were frozen in place.
"Four teenage girls were discovered missing up to four weeks ago..."
Parents.
"Everybody needs a time where they can just... get away from the world, Dad! I just feel like..."
"Gabriella, if you haven't noticed yet, you're not just everybody! You're special. You're going to be somebody one day..."
"No, you want me to be somebody one day..."
Vanessa Hudgens
Call me crazy, diary, but I think this is the best choice for me. This is truly what I want. And maybe, just maybe, accomplishing this will sort out the tangled thoughts of my future. Maybe I'll figure out what I want to be, not what everybody expects me to be...
Ashley Tisdale
"Sometimes I try to put myself in my mother's shoes. What is she thinking right now? How is she feeling? I know she's far from proud, but..."
"But what?"
Sharpay takes one last look to the stars before turning to Gabriella.
"I'm not her."
Monique Coleman
"This is one of the stupidest things you've ever thought of!"
Her friends shamefully look to their feet as Taylor shoves a lecture down their throats. She had always been the responsible one, the practical one. But now, a small smile creeps onto her face.
"Let's do it."
Oleysa Rulin
"Composing is what I do. It's all that I have. And you've ruined that for me! How am I ever going to have a career now? What job is ever going to accept a runaway? A... a... criminal?"
"Kelsi... you don't believe how sorry I am..."
"Sorry can't fix the lives that you've ruined with your stupid plan."
Zac Efron
"Of all the people in the world... I keep running into you."
"That should be telling you something, Ms. Montez." Troy nudges her side and watches the small smile on her face grow.
"What?"
"That we ran away for a reason. That I'm your escape and you're mine..."
They escape reality in...
"Sharpay..." Four girls crouch in fear, darkness cloaking them. "I... I don't think we've lost them." Gabriella's hand trembles in Sharpay's as the sound of proceeding footsteps taunts them.
"What do we do?"
Be My Escape
"Don't. Move."
And the voice Gabriella so wants to be Sharpay's... isn't.
Coming Whenever the hell I'm good and ready
"To the Fabulous Four..."
"To us."
"To friendship."
"To sisterhood." And Gabriella has never sounded so sincere. As she soundly grasps three other hands, all she can do was smile, and let a warmth roll through her. It's security.
It's adventure.
It's life.
Yupyupyup.
My first full-on, hardcore, never-lookin'-back Troyella.
Excited much?
Go see High School Musical 2 "That's off the hook!"
