Author's Note: The sequel to This is Just a Dream. Hope you enjoy it. It's sort of a songfic, but the lyrics aren't throughout the story, they're near the end. R&R!

Disclaimer: I don't own anything.

Going Home

Chapter 1: Arrival

By musiclover94

Gabriella was in her car driving to the airport. To see Troy for the first time in eight months. She was still very confused about her dream, but she tried to hide the feeling and be happy. She got there at 10:45, and Troy's plane was supposed to land at 11:00. She sat down and waited. At 10:55 the announcer said, "Flight 42 is now landing."

They must have landed early, Gabriella thought. When the sea of camouflage poured out of the airplane door, Gabriella was searching for Troy, but it was hard because everyone basically looked the same. She finally saw Troy. He was the last one to get out. She could barely stand up. Troy spotted her first.

"Gabi!" he exclaimed.

Gabriella was just standing there with a dazed expression on her face.

Troy came up to her and gave her a big hug and kiss. Gabriella, finally seeing that he wasn't a figment of her imagination, let all her emotions out.

"Troy, I-I had a horrible dream l-last night…" Gabriella stammered, barely able to get the words out. "That you d-died." She finished.

"Well, it was just that, wasn't it," he said, sound like her mother, "a dream."

'Yeah, it was." Gabriella said shakily.

Gabriella drove Troy home.

"Well, see you at school tomorrow." said Troy

"Yeah. Bye!" Gabriella said.

Well I'm going home,
to the place where I belong,
and where your love has always been enough for me.
I'm not running from.
No, I think you got me all wrong…

The ringtone that Gabriella put on Troy's cell number while he was away rang. Gabriella hesitated to answer, but finally did.

"Hi Troy, what's up?" asked Gabriella.

"Nothing, just wanted to wish my beautiful girlfriend good night." said Troy suavely. Gabriella smiled.

"Well, night." Gabriella yawned.

"Night, gorgeous." said Troy and hung up.

Gabriella slept better that night than she had in eight months.

Author's Note: I didn't like this one, but there will be a couple more chapters. I won't be able to update much in between January and March because I'm in a play. Don't hate me for it. So I'm updating my stories like crazy now! Please review!
