A Dream Come True

It was a cold, dark night as Troy placed his jacket around Gabriella's shoulders. "Thanks," she told him as she gave him a kiss as

they kept walking on the sidewalk.

She started thinking of what lead her to this. Gabriella had still gone to Yale and Troy went to the University of New Mexico. They

kept in contact and talked on the phone for hours. During breaks they would go back home and see each other. When they moved

back to Albuquerque, they bought a small house together.

Gabriella knew she wanted to spend the rest of her life with him, but she had to wait for him to ask. Every time they went out she

could feel it coming, but he'd say something else.

Troy and Gabriella walked over to a bench at a nearby park, holding hands, and sat down. She placed her head on Troy's chest. She

started thinking of where her life was going.

She was going to become a teacher at U of NM and Troy was going to be the assistant coach for the basketball team there. They

were going to start working together in 2 months.

Eventually he would propose to Gabriella and her life would be everything she hoped it would be, perfect. "Look how beautiful the

stars are," Troy told her, breaking Gabriella out of her train of thought.

"Yeah'" Gabriella replied with no feeling, still trying to think. "Troy," she said speaking quietly.

"Yeah Gabi," he said, still looking at the sky.

"Do you think we'll be together as long as possible?" Gabriella asked as she sat up and held both of Troy's hands.

Troy's blue eyes looked into her brown eyes and said,"Of coarse I do, I love you with all my heart." He sniffled quickly. "Could you

grab me a tissue from the right pocket on my jacket?" Troy asked with another sniffle.

Gabriella started to search in his pocket, but all she felt was a box. She pulled it out and realized it was a jewelry box. "Troy, why do

you have a," but she stopped. He gave her his famous smile and nodded,"Go ahead and open it."

A tear of joy started to come out of her eye. "Yes," Gabriella whispered as Troy took out the ring and placed it on her left hand ring

finger.

They kissed and sat on the bench for awhile longer, just looking at the sky. Gabriella's dream was going to come true.

A/N: It's not that exciting for a first chapter, but the other chapters will be WAY more exciting (and longer)! Chapter 2 should be out by Friday if your lucky, but I've been loaded with homework and the musical is having intense practices, so who knows what will happen!?!
