OKay, sorry guys, but this story was actually written by my best friend of 7 years, Masha. I had nothing to do with it. So... be nice to her!

Disclaimer: Yeah right! Can anyone tell me why Disney is being so mean?

"Now, let's go over the list one more time," Sharpay Evans said over new Chocolate cell phone. "Cute outfits, including Channel bag?"

"Check," came the answer. It was Sharpay's best friend, Gabriella Montez.

"Suh-weet pajamas?"

"Check."

"Delicious lip gloss, note that it MUST be NYC."

"Yes ma'am… I mean check!"

"One totally free summer, racing cars, meeting hot boys, and getting practically everything a girl could want, - in California?"

"Check, check, check, and check!"

"Alright, bye! I'll see you and Taylor later!" Sharpay said.

"Okay, later!" Gabriella said, but Sharpay had already hung up.

Sharpay smiled, as the head of her very own racing business, Racergirls, she had gotten almost everything. She pulled her heavy bags down the stairs to where Mac, her driver was waiting. He immediately took her bags.

"Ready to go?" he asked.

"Almost," she said, re-applying a new coat of her Cherry Jubilee lip gloss. Her parents were on a cruise in Hawaii, on one of her father's business trips. She didn't care; she got her equal share, everyone was happy.

"Ready," she said, and Mac began driving toward Gabriella's house. Sharpay checked her makeup in the compact mirror she got on her birthday. Right as they pulled up, Gabriella ran across the lawn with Taylor at her heels, toward the limo.

"Hey, thanks for letting us come!" Taylor McKessie, her other good friend, said smiling. Gabriella agreed by nodding vigorously. Sharpay laughed.

"Yeah, just don't get too happy. It's a competition, remember?" Both the other girls' goofy grins melted into frowns. "Calm down guys. Yeah, we can relax, after all. We'll be in California! Where dreams about men with huge abs, muscles, and the hottest lifeguards await us!" All three girls burst out laughing. Sharpay pulled her dirty blonde hair into a ponytail.

"Hey, does that mean I can instantly wear a padded bra?" Taylor added. Sharpay and Gabriella exchanged looks of horror.

"Whoa! TMI! Not to mention not to go that far!" Gabriella exclaimed. She applied some Berry Blast lip balm to her lips. "Hey Mac, can you slide this in?" Gabriella handed their driver the latest JoJo CD.

"What's up with the music?" the other two girls asked.

"Well, I thought since we were going to be in LA, we might as well try to act like it," Gabriella replied. Once at the airport, Mac handed the girls their bags.

"Goodbye, see you in two weeks. Go on," Mac urged them. All three of them approached the airfare ticket counter.

"Three tickets to California," Sharpay said to the lady.

"Excuse me ma'am, how old are you?" the lady named Sue asked skeptically.

"Nineteen going on twenty," Sharpay lied. In reality, they all were only around 16 to 17. The lady eyed them suspiciously. She went to a man, whispered something to his ear, and slowly walked back.

"Cash or credit?" she asked them.

"Credit," Carrie answered pulling out her visa platinum. Although her parents gave her orders to use it only emergencies. After a few minutes, the lady gave them their tickets. As the walked away, they all let out a sigh of relief.

"Close call," Gabriella said. Both the other girls agreed along with her.

"Seriously, as if my boobs aren't already big enough…" Taylor said. Gabriella raised an eyebrow as Sharpay laughed until they reached their terminal. It was crowded to the point where people were sitting on the marble floor. Gabriella pulled out her IPod out of her Channel purse. Sharpay grabbed one earpiece, putting it into her ear. They listened to Shakira's song, "Hips Don't Lie". After a little while with Sharpay, she handed it to Taylor so she could have a turn. The song ended, and Gabriella put it back into her purse.

"Have you seen her music video?" Taylor asked.

"Yeah she really pulled it off," Sharpay agreed. They looked at Gabriella expectantly waiting for her opinion as well. She just shrugged.

"Yeah, I guess it was okay," she said. Their plane pulled in, and peopled pushed out, many talking on cell phones. The flight attendant called out rows to board. Sharpay had bought first class for the three of them so they boarded first. People watched as the three young teenagers boarded with the adults.

"The seats are huge!" Gabriella shrieked when she saw them.

"I call window," said Sharpay. There were three seats for each of them so one of them didn't have to sit next to a stranger during the flight. She placed her bag in the overhead bin, and sat down. After she buckled in, she stared out the foggy morning window. Out on the runway, planes were taking off and landing. She checked her watch; it read twenty-five past eleven. She looked over at the other two who had surprisingly fallen asleep quickly.

The plane started moving, and she was on her way to the vacation- and competition, of a lifetime. As the plane gained speed, she thought of everything she could do with her two friends. As it took off, she thought of what the outcome would be, and as the plane soared into the sky, the rocking motion lulled her asleep.

A/N: Well, I hope you guys liked the first chapter! I guess Taylor kind of freaked you out huh? She freaked me out too when I read her. I was like, what the heck to my friend, Masha. (She had written this story with me revising it.) She just shrugged and said that Taylor looked too smart and innocent in the movie. Heh go fig.
