Okay so this chapter has a song in it, and is based on the works of both shakespeare and kenny ortega.

Chapter One: A Midsummer Night's Musicale

"Everyone, evryone! Gather around and please make sure your cellphones are silenced" Ms Darbus called. "I have the list of parts for Our Midsummer's night musicale here and I believe we are going to have a great cast"

Ms Darbus Tacked the list to the announcements board and as usual everyone rushed to see if they got their part. Sharpay was the first to reach the board, of course.

"Like OMG no way! I got Helena and Ry you got...What the!"

"What...What is it...Oh No please tell me I didn't get Bottom...I don't want to be a donkey!! Sharrrr! What did I get!"

Troy stepped in and looked at the board. "Hey Ryan you're fine, you got Lysander, it's a lead part and wait a second..."

"what is it Troy?" Gabriella asked trying to get closer to the list.

Troy looked back at Gabriella. "Gabby hun, I'm Demetrius, Ryan is Lysander, You're Hermia, and Sharpay is Helena."

"Wait...That means that I have to kiss Ryan and U have to kiss...oh no way"

The four leads slowly turned towards Ms. Darbus.

"Okay I can explain, why I did what I did...acting is about testing your boundaries and the musical is about falling in love with the wrong person, so I mixed up the pairings...it will make the confusion of not knowing who to love all the more real"

"But Ms. Darbus.." Gabriella whined, "Troy and I are dating and I don't..."

"Miss Montez...the theatre does not tolerate whining and this musicale is going to go flawlessly...and that means absolutely no fighting" she eyed both Gabriella and Sharpay, "I don't need the stress of dealing with anymore cat fights."

"Well we'll just have to make do won't we, that's show biz for you" ryan sighed and slumped out of the theatre.

The rest of the cast also headed off in different directions, knowing that tomorrow would bring the joy and pain of learning new songs, new lines, and new drama. In two months time the show would be ready.

It was two days before the show and everyone had been vigorously practicing their lines and parts. Ryan was sitting in the music room with Gabriella going over their harmonies and lines.

"Hey Gabby, you should try umm breathing in less and really singing from your stomach...vocal cords are just pipes, ur stomach and lungs are the real source"

"Yeah, Okay I'll try...which song should I try?"

"I think you should try..hmmm...Dream A little dream of me, it's a really pretty song."

"Yeah I like that Darbus included it in the musical, I'm a fan of oldies."

"Yeah me too, especially Elvis!"

"Oh yeah well Elvis rocks...hmm anyway Um I'm gonna try to use ur techniques"

Stars shinin bright above you

Night breezes seem to whisper

I love you

Birds singin in the sycamore tree

Dream A little dream of me

So

Say nighty night and kiss me

Please hold me tight and

tell me you'll miss me

While I'm alone, blue as can be

Dream a little dream of me

Stars fadin but I linger on dear

still cravin ur kiss

I'm longin to linger to linger till dawn dear

Just sayin this...

"Wow Gabby that was great...you could give Mama Cass a run for her money."

"Aww thanks Ry...so yea..umm what should we practice next"

"Well um...there's really only one thing we haven't practiced.."

"yea I know..well if we want to make it look real we should probably try that scene"

"So yeah"

Ryan leaned in towards Gabriella and she pulled him in for a kiss. Gabriella leaned in further and began to push against Ryan.

"Gabby"

"yea"

"We shouldn't"

"Yea but..."

"But I want it"

"yea...me too"

"yea"

"You're a much better kisser than I thought you'd be"

"Oh really?"

"Yea..now shut up and kiss me Ry"

There was a knock at the door when a big flash of pink burst into the room.

"Hey I thought I'd just..What the hell his going on here?!"

Sharpay had unfortunatly walked in on the spectacle that was Gabriella strattling Ryan, passionatly kissing him. Gabriella looked up and then quickly jumped off ryan, grabbed her backpack, and ran out of the room, knocking over the brass section along the way.

"Ryan what the hell was that?"

"Umm we were practicing our scenes"

"That's bull Ry! The scene calls for a kiss, not a full on makeout session! And, omg you like her don't you...I can't believe you are falling for that skank..."

"Hey Shar that's enough!"

"Ry she ripperd out a piece of my hair, how could you kiss her?" Said shar as she ran out of the room.

"well you were being a bitch sis" Ryan said under his breath.

It was Friday night, the musical was almost over, the crowd was captivated as Gabriella sang Dream A Little Dream of Me. The lights cast a purple glow over her toga and glistening tiara as she circled Ryan who was sitting in the middle of the stage. As she sang the last few bars and the music began to fade Ryan got up and walked towards her.

"I'll dream the sweetest dreams of you" he softly sang.

Gabrielle leaned in as the audience and crew behind stage watched how passionately Ryan reached out to her and pulled her in. Troy was paying close attention as he watched Gabriella and Ryan's lips meet and meet again. And as the curtain came down...continued to me.

"Wow, I guess they practiced everything" Chad smiled.

"Yeah, I guess..I dunno" said Troy.

"Oh there's something rotten in the school of East High" mused Sharpay

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"Oh Troy I know you're a jock, but you're not stupid...I'm sure you'll get it..eventually"

The show continued on and as the final curtain fell, tensions could be felt. Troy kept looking over at Ryan and Gabriella, who were both smiling as they looked at each other holding hands. As all the actors headed off the stage, Troy tried to follow them off stage. And, upon turning the corner he found what he was afraid of. Gabriella with her arms around Ryan , the two of them pressed up against the wall, Ryans hands feeling along Gabriella's back, both of them passionately kissing.

"Ga..Gabby..wha-wha"

"TROY! What are you..."

"The better question is what are you doing? Why is your tongue making it's way down Ryan's throat?"

"Umm. Troy I was gonna tell you...I have feelings for Ryan."

"How long?"

"Months but we didn't start doing anything until a few days ago."

"what do you mean by 'doing anything'?"

Ryan stepped forward.

"Uh..Troy...you should probably sit down"

Okay so that was the first chapter. Please RR!
