Christmas Eve: December 24th 2006

''Hey you guys no flour fight!''Gabriella scream/joked trying to keep her kids to stop the fight of flour that they started.

It was Christmas Eve and Gabriella and her tree kids were making Luna buns and cookies that they would bring to neighbors and friends.

Troy wasn't home yet, he was out buying the last gift that their kids requested.

''Will!, stop!''

Too late. A little amount of flour dropped in their mom's face. They all froze.

''Sorry mom'' the little kid said as she rushed to get a wet paper to wipe the flour off her mom's face.

Gabriella gave her a 'you are in trouble lil missy' look.

Looking down, the child took a step back regretting that she didn't listen and stopped the fight, before she got in trouble. Not listening only brought trouble, she thought to her self.

But her mother did an unexpected move and quickly took a little flour out of the bowl and poured it on her little girl's head.

"You seriously didn't think I was going to ground you right?" she asked with a smile on her face

"I did!" Will exclaimed before letting out a little giggle.

"For a moment I thought we all were going to be! Sorry mom, we didn't mean to…" her youngest son Nicolas approched and gave her a quick hug.

"Its ok baby…just don't make a too big mess or else mommy will have to clean the whole thing…"

She was cut by the door bell. And the oldest son Michael, 6, went to open it.

" Daddy!!'' he screamed as he rushed to the door.

The gang followed quickly after and they all found the man with sandy hair and blue eyes , that they all loved and was Gabriella's high school sweetheart ,holding Michael, their oldest son.

"I can see you guys are busy huh?!'' he asked as he put his son down.

'' Yeah we are making Luna bunds and chocolate chip cookies!'' Will started grinning before holding out her hands so he could pick her up and cuddle in his arms.

''And let me guess you guys started a flour fight without me huh?''

He asked as he wiped off a little bit of flour of the corner of Will's mouth.

'' Well you were the one that gave them the bad example " Gabriella added with a smirk, blue eyes connecting with chocolate ones, before the gaze was broken as both parent looked as their younger son spoke:

''Yeah! You bad dad!'' Nicolas teased with taunting eyes and smirk.

'' Don't let me get you!''

They started a race as Troy ran after his four year old son in order to give him his 'punishment'.

'' Ah! Ah!''Troy screamed in victory.'' I got you, now it's time for the tickle monster to attack!'' he said as he attacked his son's belly, knowing that he wouldn't resist long before asking to stop.

''ok! Ok! Stop!'' he scream after a moment of tickle fight

'' I got enough'' he said under his breath.

"Are you sure? '' Troy asked, not letting go and doubling the tickles.

'' Yes!'' Nicolas laughed

''Ok good '' his father stopped.

They went back to the kitchen where the rest of the gang were putting two plates of chocolate chip cookies in the oven.

''All right you guys…nice and easy'' Gabriella said as they sled the metal plates into the oven before closing it and hi5- ing her kids

Then Will, as the dancer in the family spanned around in circles until she reached her dad who quickly grabbed the little body and twirled her in the air as the ellipses of a helicopter.

Everything the child did had some kind of dance move in it. At four year old, twin of Nicolas, she ran extremely fast, danced extremely great and had everything for her mother except her eyes that were something between light green and light blue. The color and the easy expressions of her eyes differed depending on her mood at the moment.

She was just the cutest thing ever and was loved by everyone. But was really teased by her brothers.

''Wee!'' she screamed with pleasure.

"My turn! My turn!'' the two boys exclaimed, bouncing up and down around their dad, wanting to receive the same treatments as their sister.

Gabriella giggled as she looked how cute they all were especially her little baby, the one that most looked like her and had the same attitude. Long, black curly hair, same smile, same petite size. Troy had even declare that they had the same way of giggling and smiling.

She even loved to shop with her so called little cousins: Annaelle, Sharpay and Chad's 5 year old, unexpected daughter and Ryan's 4 year old daughter Madison who had lost her mother, Kelsi at birth.

They all still hanged with each other. After high school, they had all gone to nearby colleges. Being only a few hours away from each other. Chad, Troy, Ryan and Gabriella had gone to the same college. All having obtain scholarships, they didn't have to worry about much and their friendship didn't die along the road of life, but instead growing more day by day.They lived in the same big villa near the Evan's mansion, having used the free space that surrond it to upgrate it and add houses to the villa.

Christmas Eve: December 24th 2006

After putting the cookies in jars and in little boxes they all settled in front of the TV with pizza as diner. 'It wasn't the best meal ever'-Gabriella taught as she looked at her kids deviate their slice- 'but it was Christmas Eve! They could make an exception to the normal eating healthy kind of life, despite Troy giving them sweets whenever they wanted to, mostly when I'm not there to control the amount of sugar being distributed. Not that i'm that much of a control freak, but my kids need to stay healthy.'

It had been a wonderful day. Just hanging out, enjoying them selves in th kitchen and the playground in the back yard.

They heard the door bell ring they all rushed to see who it was and they found the whole gang standing there including their kids and wife or husband

'' Hey you guys what's up?'' Gabriella asked, greeting everyone with a smile and stepping away to let them in, but they all just stood there, wondering if they haven't noticed anything in the wheater change.

'' No! We came here because look! It's snowing!'' Madison said pointing her little finger to the sky

Her statement was true. There behind the gang, they could see the snow flakes falling out from the dark sky, illuminated only by the full moon and the stars. Having turned off the lanterns that were on the porch, they all had a better view of everything as few of them sat on the steps and on the chairs that were settled there.

''Mom are we the only one in the universe?''Will asked her mother after a moment. She was cuddled in her arms as they watched the snow fall.

''That's a pretty big question don't you think babes?''Gabriella whispered against her smooth hair. '' I think everyone has a different point of view on that subject'' Taking a deep breath and scenting her child's baby powder scent.

She had an extremely developed mind for a kid her age. Their four year old daughter asked questions that her parents wouldn't expect a kid her age to ask. She had the capability to travel through her mind, imagine and visit other universes that she had created her self, sharing it with her own little person. He best place to escape were either her fantasy room, one that Gabriella had made design her self as she always dream of one likewise as a teenager, and the tree house that the man of the huge family had brought up together, having had a little help from the girls also and of Will off course, being an energized child, unable to stay in place without doing something.

She was a special, talented and blessed child. The perfect portrait of her mother. Some kids at her pre-school admired her for that but some were jealous and she found that out without her parents having to explain that to her.

''It's so beautiful!'' She gazed, spacing out a little, as she buried her self tighter to her mom's chest.''I don't want it the magic coming from the sky to end!It would be really sad.''

'' Me neither Will…me neither'' She whispered as she kissed her kid's forehead.

'It is the most beautiful thing. It reminds me also of when i first met Troy. I wonder if he remembers that it was under the same circumstances that we had felt our connection, and attraction. Except for the fact that the day that they met was New Years Eve and not Christmas Eve. We didn't even think that we would see each other again, but we did. Fate had brought us back i guess'

She looked over at Troy, setting in a long chair next to hers. She realized that he had been thinking the same thing as he reached out and intertwined his fingers in hers and with his thumb drawing little circles on top of her palm with a dreamy and demanding smile.
