Hello! So, I haven't written anything in a while, and, well, this idea just came to me, and it's something I felt should be shared. It's based on the Meatloaf song 'I would do anything for love (but I won't do that)' Which is a real favourite of mine. I really hope you enjoy this, and you don't get confused or whatever! Please review with your thoughts, your opinion means a lot to me. Thanks!
"There she is! My champion of the evening; Miss Gabriella Montez!" Troy Bolton said loudly, a big grin spreading across his handsome features as he scooped his unexpecting best friend into the air, swinging her around through the air. She squealed with happiness and hugged him back tightly, as he placed her back on the ground. He reached into the back pocket of his jeans, and pulled out a small, dark blue velvet box with silver ribbon tightly neatly around it. She gasped in surprise.
"Troy! For me?" She giggled lightly, clapping her hands excitedly as she eyed the box.
"Yes, my friend, for winning us the scholastic decathlon for the second year in a row." He said proudly, placing the box in her hands. She flipped the top opened, and placed her hand to her chest, as a wave of shock coursed through.
"Troy, I can't this!" She closed the box and tried to give it back to him, but he crossed his arms and stuck his nose in the air.
"I see, my gifts are simply not enough for you anymore!"
"Troy, seriously, your so melodramatic." She chuckled lightly, giving in when he looked into her eyes.
"Want a hand putting it on?" He asked. She nodded, and turned around so he could place the gold chained necklace on. She touched it lightly, and turned back around, hugging him around the chest. His arms immediately wrapped themselves around her tiny waist, and he kissed the top of head affectionately. Taylor Mckessie, seeing this, ran over, grabbed Gabriella's wrist, before shouting a quick apology to Troy as she dragged her best friend away.
"Show me!" Taylor gasped as she saw the necklace. A gorgeous gold chain, holding a heart pendant, with a small diamond in the right hand corner. It was beautiful.
"Why does Chad never buy me things like this! Troy's not even your boyfriend, and he's buying you diamonds and jewellery and chocolates…" Taylor pouted, and pulled a face at Chad's back, who was in the process of talking to Zeke. Gabriella beamed with joy, though inside, she knew one thing;
She'd trade all the diamonds, jewellery and chocolate in the world, to have Troy love her the way she loved him.

As Gabriella, Troy, Taylor, Chad, Sharpay, Zeke, Ryan and Kelsi settled down at the large table in the middle of Troy's garden, enjoying a celebratory dinner for East High's most recent win, no body could miss the way Troy and Gabriella felt about each other. The way they were always touching, laughing at each other, and just the general chemistry between them. As dinner drew to a close, a chill set in, and the teenagers reluctantly set up camp indoors in Troy's bedroom.
Taylor raised an eyebrow at Gabriella as her eyes swept the room. As well as the usual basketball themed accessories, the amount of pictures of him and Gabriella messing around, in the musical, and a million and one other places they'd been, was ridiculous.
"It's like one big Gabriella shrine!" Taylor whispered to Chad out of one side of her mouth. Chad winked at her, knowing too well what she meant.
"I have an idea!" Sharpay announced happily. The other seven teenagers grumbled, knowing this could end disastrously.
"Let's play Spin the Bottle!" Sharpay's eyes shone brightly, and as the others sighed, she quickly scanned Troy's room for an empty bottle. She almost instantly found one, and the game commenced.

2 hours later, Chad finally left, leaving Gabriella and Troy alone. She yawned, quickly covering her mouth with the back of her hand. Troy smirked, and signalled to go back upstairs. They fell back onto his bed. They both turned to look at each other, and burst into hysterics.
"Sharpay's face when she had to kiss Chad!" Gabriella managed to get out.
"And Taylor's reactions!"
"It's her fault for suggesting it."
"Oh! And Kelsi and Ryan… They looked a little too pleased…" Troy raised his eyebrows suggestively, and Gabriella hit his chest.
"Ow!" He shouted.
"Sorry." She poked her tongue out at him, and then put in 'You're a very good kisser by the way."
Troy recalled the quick kiss, probably one of the best moments of his life to date, he thought, as a small smile hinted his lips.
"Your thinking about it, aren't you?!" Gabriella laughed.
"Maybe. And for the record, your not so bad yourself."
"I need a drink. Come with?" Gabriella got up, pulling her jeans up slightly, then holding her hand out to Troy. He took it, and the made their way down out of the room.
"Ow!" Gabriella protested, laughing loudly as Troy cheekily slapped her rear.
"Sorry, couldn't resist! He held his hands up.
"Race you downstairs." Gabriella said as she began descending the stairs.
"No fair! You got a head start!" Troy moaned, before realising she'd already beat him.
Troy quickly ran down the stairs, passing Gabriella as he ran to the kitchen and picking her up.
"Troy!" She squealed. He stopped running and looked at her.
"What?!"
"Let go!" He shook his head.
"I'm afraid I can't." Instead he threw her over his shoulder. He walked into the kitchen, Gabriella punching his back and shouting to put her down, and he finally placed her down at the breakfast bar. He opened a cupboard and grabbed two glasses, before filling them both up with apple juice.
"Thanks." She smiled.
"No problem."

Troy and Gabriella were spread out across two sofas, snacks surrounding them and popcorn strewn across the floor, watching a movie. At least, Troy was. Gabriella was bored. She sighed, watching how Troy laughed a some (apparently) funny line, and an idea popped into her head.
She got up and walked into the kitchen, muttering she was getting another drink to Troy on the way out, and smirked to herself. This was going to fun.
***
Troy grabbed a handful of crisps, laughing at the movie, when he felt something hit his head. He frowned, but shook it off and ignored it.
It happened again. And again. And again. He turned around to where they seemed to be coming from, and he saw a brown eye peaking around the living room door, followed by a light giggle. A hand appeared, and he was hit again.
"Oh, your for it now, Montez." He jumped out of his seat, and the chase began.
***
20 minutes later, the pair collapsed back onto Troy's bed, completely exhausted. The chase had gone all around the house and garden, with Troy catching her, the Gabriella escaping. A usual for them, then.
Troy didn't think she'd ever been more beautiful.
And as they lay their laughing, the words slipped out.
"What?" Gabriella sat bolt right up, the laughter instantly dying out.
"Urm… Ur… Nothing! I didn't say anything!" Troy laughed, no amusement in his voice.
"Yes you did, you said I love you!" Gabriella stood up, her hand over her mouth, shock in her eyes. "You love me!"
"No, no!" Troy tried to deny. Gabriella began to dance around him, singing 'Troy loves me!" over and over.
"No I don't! I was kidding!" Troy tried. She kept on singing and dancing around him, until she suddenly found her lips pressed against his.
Troy had grabbed her and pulled her towards him, kissing her hungrily. She immediately kissed back, and only parting when the need for air ensued.
"So? You totally love me back." Troy gasped out. She looked him right in the eyes, words completely escaping her, and nodded. He grinned back at her. His arms slipping around her waist. She smiled back, resting her head on his shoulder. They stood like this for some time, before Troy said;
"Be my girlfriend, Brie." Gabriella immediately pulled away, shaking her head.
"I'm sorry, but I can't."
Dun, dun, dun! I know, the questions are killing you! Why did she say no?! I mean, it's Troy Bolton! Yes, I know, but your answers will be here soon! However, it is Halloween tomorrow, and so I'm kind of busy with that and various other bit and pieces, but I'll do my absolute to have it finished by tomorrow. Please review!
