A/N: This is going to be sort of based off of the book 'Caribbean Cruising' its not going to be completely like the book, I hate when people write fics and its exactly like the book, so don't worry this won't be anything like that.
IMPORTANT: In this fic, Troy and Sharpay don't know each other, they don't go to the same school or anything like that. Same goes for Gabriella, you'll find out why later in the fic. This is no specific cruise ship, its just a made up one, I've been on way too many to really be able to just describe one, with out getting mixed up with another one. I'll add bits of stuff for all of them, but till then I hope you enjoy reading my fic!
Boarding the Ship
Sharpay boarded the huge boat, she instantly stopped dead in her tracks, she wasn't suspecting it to be this beautiful. The walls had different kinds of paintings on it and the stairway had a decorated carpet, she saw many people around her, but she could spot the crew easily, considering they wore the same uniform. This was going to be the best vacation ever. Not only was her Dad getting married on the boat, but she was planning on doing two things. Tanning and meeting cute boys. Nothing was going to make this vacation bad and she was going to make sure of that.
She followed her Dad and Ryan to the rooms. She went to a elevator and instantly became in awe again. the elevator's had glass windows all around, so you could see what was around you when traveling up or down. She pressed the up button and instantly the main fancy door opened. They stepped inside and she notice that the carpet would have a changeable day thing. Today it read Saturday. Her father pressed the button to Deck 3, when he did, she instantly felt the elevator move and she watched as they passed each Deck. She noticed that it only went up to Deck 11. She wondered what on earth were on all the decks, she saw a little guide above the deck numbers, but she didn't have time to read it, cause the elevator doors opened to Deck 4. Sharpay nearly jumped when she heard a lady come on and say 'Deck 4'. It caught Sharpay by surprise, she saw Ryan laughing at her, which earned him a glare. Her father walked them down a long hallway that was full of staterooms. Her Dad finally stopped in front of a door.
"Okay here are your keys." He said as he handed them it. "You two are going to be having your own room. Technically since your 19, your not suppose to have a room by yourself. I pulled a few strings though. Now since your 19 your allowed to drink on here, now I don't mind you guys having a few, but don't take advantage of it.(I'm not sure if your allowed to drink on cruises, even if your 19. If not, then just go with it lol.) Your rooms will be right next to each others and so will Troy's."
Ryan gave him a confused look. "Who's Troy?"
The Evan's Father slapped his hand on his forehead. "Jeez, David how can you forget about telling them." He sighed. If you haven't figured out by now, their father's name was David, he seems to always forget to mention stuff, just like now. "Troy's Stacey's Godson. She invited him to keep you guys company and for him to be in the wedding. He's going to be my best man along with Ryan."
Sharpay rolled her eyes. "Daddy, I don't need company...the company needs me."
David rolled his eyes at this comment. His daughter was stubborn at times, especially when she has to meet new people. Once she gets to know them, she lightens up a bit. She was just like her mother. The other love of his life, who is now gone. The kids mother died in a car accident a couple of years ago. It was devastating for the Evan's family, but as time went on, they began to come to terms with it.
"Sharpay, just promise me you'll be nice to him." He pleaded.
Sharpay sighed and nodded. "Okay, I promise."
David smiled. "Good, now you kids go get dressed. Troy and Stacey are already up there, she claimed, she didn't want me to see her before the wedding. So I'll just have the suite to myself. Till then, I want to see you guys up there as soon as possible. The wedding is going to start in an hour, don't be late."
With that, David left the kids and headed to his room. When he was out of sight, the kids slide their cards to unlock their doors. It took them a while, till they finally got it. Sharpay went in her room and almost died right there. Her room had its own living area, it was pretty good size too. It had a minibar and a king size bed. She also saw that she had a balcony. She smiled as she wheeled her suitcase to her bedroom. She technically wasn't suppose to have her luggage, till later that evening, but since her father was getting married, the cruise line made and exception. She set her suit bag on the bed and unzipped it. She pulled out her bridesmaid dress and laid it on the bed. She quickly got undressed and slipped into the dress. It was long, Satin, red garnet, with a rhinestone trim. It looked stunning on her. She opened her suitcase and searched around for her curling iron and her make-up bag. It took her about 10 minutes till she finally found them. She walked out of the bedroom into the bathroom. It was a pretty good size. It had a shower/bath, with a sink and a large mirror. The tile was fancy and the walls were a Creamed color with a fancy border. She found a plug outlet an plugged her curling iron in. She waited for it to get hot. It took about 5 minutes till it was fully hot. She picked it up and started to curl her long hair into stylish long curls. It took about 20 minutes, till she was finally done. She unplugged the curling iron and wrapped the cord around it. She set it down by the the sink and opened her make-up bag. She quickly did her make-up and left the bathroom. She walked back to the bedroom and opened another suitcase that was filled with shoes. She started to search for shoes, till she finally found a pair. She slipped them on and grabbed a clutch purse. She put her room key, lip gloss, and other necessary things in there. She ran out her door and found an elevator. She pushed the up button and waited. After 3 minutes she finally saw the doors open, Revealing two cute guys. One blonde and the other dirty blonde. They both smiled at her as she got in. She smiled back as she pushed the button to Deck 10. The blonde guy looked at what she was wearing and smiled.
"Whats the special occasion?" he asked.
She blushed "My Dad is getting married at the top deck."
They both nodded. "Is that why that deck is blocked off till 10 P.M.?" The dirty blonde asked.
Sharpay nodded. "Yeah, the wedding starts at 6, the time the ship takes off and its probably an hour, so after that, we have the wedding reception which is probably another hour, then the hour is for family I guess."
The boys nodded. Suddenly Sharpay heard that voice again. "Deck 7." The boys waved as they got off the elevator. Sharpay looked out the glass window as the elevator started to move up again. It wasn't long till she heard the lady say. "Deck 10." Sharpay got out of the elevator and found Ryan standing by a rail. She walked up to him and leaned on the rail.
"Is Dad here yet?" She asked.
Ryan shook his head. "Nope, he should be here soon though."
As if on cue, the twins saw their father walking with a tall, handsome brunette boy. Sharpay had no clue who he was and why he was hanging with her Dad. She didn't have time to study him for long, cause her Dad walked up the twins and instantly started speaking. "Kids, this is Troy. Troy this is Sharpay, my daughter and Ryan, my son."
"Hi" Troy said.
"Hey!" Ryan said as he shook Troy's hand.
Sharpay rolled her eyes at Ryan's gesture. "Hey Troy."
David smiled. "Good, now that we know each other, I need my best men to follow me and Sharpay I need you to go to the Voyage Lounge to meet Stacey. "
Sharpay nodded as she headed inside. She walked around a bit, till she finally found the lounge. She walked inside and saw Stacey freaking out, about not being able to find her bouquet, when it was in her hands the whole time. Sharpay laughed at this sight. Carrie, her planner, quickly calmed Stacey down and basically pointed out the bouquet in her hands. Sharpay walked up to Stacey and smiled.
"Stacey, you look gorgeous!" Sharpay exclaimed.
Stacey turned around to face Sharpay and instantly smiled and hugged Sharpay. "Oh, look who's talking. Your absolutely gorgeous!" Stacey had her ways with telling people they looked beautiful. Even if it wasn't necessary. She claims that every girl needs to know their beautiful, in order to know their loved. Sharpay loved that about Stacey, she knew that Stacey would never take her mom's place, but she was happy that she was going to be Sharpay's step-mother.
"Thanks!" Sharpay beamed.
"Are you girls ready to go?" Carrie asked.
Stacey looked at Sharpay who nodded. "Yeah, we're ready." Stacey replied.
Carrie nodded and took Sharpay's hand and started to walk outside with Stacey behind them. Sharpay gave Carrie a confused look, which Carrie must have caught, cause she started to explain.
"You need to go first, then Stacey will. Now David will see Stacey, since we're not really doing this in a church, but rather on a cruise ship deck, but that's okay. We'll just pretend he doesn't see her okay." Carrie said.
Sharpay nodded. Carrie seemed like the type of person that wanted everything to be perfect, which to Sharpay, she found that pretty annoying. She had to bite her tongue a few times when Carrie would tell Sharpay what to do when they arrive. Sharpay knew what she had to do. She had to walk the white carpet that would have rose pedals all over it, with chairs on each side. she would keep on walking till she gets to the front, she would stand across from her Dad and stand next to the priest, but in this case the Captain. Sharpay found it weird that the Captain would be marrying her Dad and step-mom, but she ignored it.
Sharpay finally got to the carpet, she could see people in their seats, turn and look at her. She kept her eyes straight a head and started to walk when the music started. She reached the Captain and stood next to him, making sure there was a little bit of space for Stacey. She turned and watched Stacey walk down the aisle. Stacey had a million dollar smile on her face as she kept her eyes on David. Sharpay couldn't help but smile at this. When Stacey finally reached the Captain, she turned towards Sharpay and gave her bouquet to her. She then turned towards David and held his hand in hers. The Captain started saying what was needed to be said. It seemed like forever for Sharpay.
'"You may now kiss the bride." The Captain said.
David and Stacey gave each other a passionate kiss and broke apart smiling.
"I pronounce you Mr. and Mrs. Evans."
The crowd started to cheer as David picked Stacey up bridal style and carried her out to the other side of the deck, where the wedding reception would be. Sharpay then followed linking arms with Ryan and Troy. She didn't even notice that the ship was moving, till she looked out at the rail. When they arrived at the reception, Ryan instantly unlinked arms and ran towards the food. Sharpay rolled her eyes. She looked around her surroundings and saw beautiful lights, a candles, and a live band. She looked at the food and instantly craved it. She too was hungry. She unlinked her arm with Troy and headed towards the line. She grabbed a plate and started to fill it with anything and everything. She wasn't going to be a picky eater tonight. She was starving and she would practically eat anything.
Once she was done filling up her plate, she found an empty table and sat down. She started to eat and feel a bit of satisfactory in her stomach. She was soon joined by Ryan and Troy.
"Hey Shar, I hope you don't mind me inviting Troy to eat with us." Ryan said as he sat down.
Sharpay shook her head. "Not at all."
Troy smiled and sat down too. "Thanks."
"No problem." She smiled back.
Ryan started to eat and decided to make small talk. "So Troy, I hear your Stacey's godson."
Sharpay rolled her eyes at her brothers obvious question. Troy didn't seem to mind, he just smiled. "Yeah, my mom and Stacey are really close friends."
Sharpay raised an eyebrow. "How long have you known Stacey?"
"Ever since I was in diapers. She's practically a second mom to me." Troy replied.
Sharpay nodded. She wasn't too sure if she was going to like Troy. He seemed to be a bit quiet and Sharpay was definitely not a quiet person. She turned are attention to the glasses of champagne that were being handed out. "Do you guys want some champagne?" She asked.
Ryan raised an eyebrow. "Shar, Dad said not to take advantage of drinking."
Sharpay rolled her eyes. She seemed to be doing that a lot today. "Am I drunk Ryan?"
Ryan gave her a confused look. "Uh..no?"
Sharpay smirked. "Exactly, now do you guys want champagne or not?"
Troy nodded and Ryan started to think for a while. Sharpay started to grown impatient. She started to drum her fingers on the table, which gave Ryan the signal to hurry up. He instantly nodded is head, when he heard her fingers drumming. She smiled and got up. "Good, I'll be back."
She went up to the table and showed the crew member her ID. She grabbed 3 glasses and headed back to the table. She gave Ryan and Troy theirs as she took a sip of hers.
"Thanks ." They both said.
"So, where are you guys from?" Troy asked.
"Alberque" Ryan replied.
Troy nodded as he took a sip of her champagne. "That's cool."
"What about you?" Sharpay asked.
"Same. I go to University of New Mexico." He said.
Sharpay smiled. "That's were we are going! Well after summer is over. Daddy insist that we go to a college in our home state, before we actually go to Juilliard. He wants us to get use to the whole college life, before we go out of state."
Troy raised his eyebrows. "Juilliard, the school of performing arts?"
Ryan nodded. "That's it."
"What do you guys do?" Troy asked.
"We sing and act" Sharpay replied.
Troy nodded. "I'm more into basketball."
Sharpay nodded. "Most kids at our school are. We've learned to sort of deal with it."
Troy nodded. "Don't you have to audition to get into Juilliard?"
Ryan nodded. "Yes, but we've been really and I mean really good in our school's productions, we're not worried about the audition."
Troy raised an eyebrow. "How many plays have you guys actually been in?"
Sharpay laughed. "Too many to count."
Troy nodded. He looked out in the dance floor and saw people dancing. "Hey Sharpay, do you want to dance?"
Sharpay thought about it for a moment. She wasn't planning on just becoming friendly buds with Troy, but she figured one dance wouldn't hurt. "Sure."
She joined him out on the dance floor and wrapped her arms around his neck as he put his hands on her waist. They started moving to the slow music, Sharpay saw Stacey and David dancing together. She smiled at the sight of that. Troy followed her smile and soon smiled too.
"Their perfect for each other." He said.
She nodded. "They really are."
The two danced together and listened to the soft music flow through their ears. The wind from the ocean was hitting Sharpay's hair. She could feel the cold breeze on her face. She looked up and saw a bunch of stars. She enjoyed looking at the stars, it made her feel at peace. She got lost in the stars after a while and didn't even realize the song ended.
"Sharpay..." Troy said.
Sharpay instantly broke out of her gaze and looked at Troy. She heard and fast song and finally realize the song ended. She felt her face grow red from embarrassment. "Oh sorry!"
Troy smiled. "Its okay."
They both walked back to the Table with Ryan who was now on his 4th glass of champagne. "Hey, guys!" He said as he sipped his champagne.
Sharpay put her hands on her hips. "Who's taking advantage of the whole drinking thing now?"
Ryan's eyes widen. "Your right...no more!"
Sharpay rolled her eyes. "I'm gonna head in for the night. I'm exhausted."
Ryan smiled. "Night Shar."
Sharpay waved and headed off to the champagne table. She saw that the crew member was gone. She quickly grabbed a bottle and walked away.
Ryan saw this and laughed. "Sharpay, what are you doing?" He yelled.
Sharpay turned around and smiled. "I'm just saving some for later." With that, she went inside and found an elevator. She pushed the down button. she waited till the doors finally opened. She went inside and pushed Deck 4. The elevator doors closed and she waited till that annoying lady announced her deck. The doors opened and she walked out. She walked down the long hallway and found her room number. When she found it, she opened her clutch purse and slide her key. She was getting better at opening her door. It only took her two swipes to get it open. She walked inside and opened the mini fridge. She put the champagne in and close the fridge. She walked into her bedroom to find her suitcases sitting on the side of the wall. She saw her bed was made ready for her to climb in. She also saw a towel animal, with some chocolates and a activity book for tomorrow. She put each thing on the night stand. She grabbed her suitcases and started to unpack. It took her about 30 minutes till she was finally done. She grabbed a pair of pajama shorts and a tank. She quickly changed and hanged her dress up in the closet. She went inside her bathroom and washed all the make-up off of her face. She then walked back into her bedroom and climbed into bed and instantly fell a sleep.
