Summary: After East High, Troy and Gabriella reluctantly went their separate ways. Troy ended up at Duke while Gabi was offered a scholarship at Brown. Even after vowing they would get back together, both found love without each other. Now, Troy and Gabi are both forty with fifteen year olds of their own, Reyna Bolton and Bryce Montez-Armando. Will things be different for Bryce and Reyna, or will it be déjà vu?
A/N: this is my fifth story! I've had a penname on this site for a year now, but I've only been an author on this site for what? A week? I'm not sure… anyways, please read!

Reyna Bolton dodged past her father and dunked the basketball through the net. "That's what I'm talking about!" Troy shouted proudly.
Yes, Troy Bolton moved on from Gabriella in college, got married, and had a daughter.
The Bolton's were staying at the exact same ski lodge on this New Years Eve that Troy and his parents had stayed twenty-five years ago. It was also the exact same lodge where Troy and Gabriella first met.
Troy and Rae were in the gym, practicing lay-ups. Rae was the captain of the varsity basketball team at East High.
"Troy, Reyna, did we really come all this way just to play more basketball?" a voice asked. The father and daughter basketball stars turned around to see Rachelle Everett-Bolton, Troy's wife and Reyna's mom, standing there in a nice dark blue dress with her hands on her hips.
Troy and Reyna exchanged glances before looking back at Rachelle and saying in unison, "Yeah." "C'mon, it's the last night of vacation. Reyna, there's a kids party in the lounge," Rachelle said. "Kids party mom?" Rae whined. "Young adults, now go shower up and get dressed. I have an outfit lain out for you on your bed," Rachelle said. Rae sighed and left the court. "She's a natural," Rachelle sighed. "Yeah," Troy smiled as he left to hit the showers.
Meanwhile…
A boy of fifteen with olive skin, slightly wavy brown hair, and bright hazel eyes was sitting on a lodge bed reading a book when his mother came up behind him and said, "Bryce, you've been reading that book every day we've been at this lodge." "It's a good book mom. I can't put it down," Bryce said still reading. "Son, it's the last night of vacation. There's a teen party in the lounge, why don't you go?" Carlos Armando asked his son. "But mom, dad," Bryce whined. "No buts Bryce, you're going to that party," Gabi stated softly but firmly. Bryce sighed softly and went to change into a nicer outfit.
Rae walked into the teen party shyly. She was wearing a Michael Stars waist deep V-neck gray belle sleeve tunic over a satin emerald green camisole on top. For bottoms, she wore rum colored suede capris and green kitten heel sandals. A gray elastic headband held most of her dark brown hair away from her face except for a small section about half an inch wide framing the right side of her face. She wore pale pastel green eye shadow with a pale pink blush and light pink lip gloss.
She saw two teens up on a karaoke stage singing a country song. Rae leaned up against a wall and just watched the party, not interested in it at all.
Bryce slowly walked into the teen party, looking for the nearest couch.
He was wearing a shirt exactly like Troy had worn that night twenty-five years ago except the base color of the shirt was a pale forest green with a gray/blue pattern near his sides. For bottoms, he wore charcoal gray jeans and soft white colored tennis shoes.
He found a couch two yards behind the karaoke stage, sat down, and started to read his book which he had snuck in the party.
Soon, the two teens that had been singing finished their song and got off the stage. The MC got up on the stage and asked into one of the microphones, "Alright, who's next?"
A spotlight landed on Rae, the other landing on Bryce. "I don't sing," Bryce protested as two other boys pushed him towards the stage. Rae was silent as the MC took her hand and led her up on the stage. The MC smirked as he put the microphone in Rae's hands. She slipped it into the stand and looked over at Bryce, but he was looking away from her. The music started and Bryce and Rae looked up at the screen. It read "Start of Something New."
Bryce
Rae
Together
Living in my own world,
Didn't understand…
That anything can happen,
When you take a chance…
Rae sighed before following
I never believed in,
What I couldn't see…
I never opened my heart,
Oh…
To all the possibilities, ooh
I know
That something has changed
Never felt this way
And right here tonight…
This could be the start of something new
It feels so right
To be here with you, oh!
And now looking in your eyes,
I feel in my heart…
Feel in my heart…
The start of something new
Oh, yeah!
Now who'd have ever thought that,
Mm,
We'd both be here tonight
Oh
Yeah
And the world looks so much brighter
Brighter, brighter
Oh!
With you by my side!
By my side!
I know
That something has changed
Never felt this way
I know it for real
This could be the start of something new
It feels so right
To be here with you, oh!
And now looking in your eyes,
I feel in my heart… the start of something new
I never knew that it could happen
Till it happened to me…
OOHH, yeah!
I didn't know it before
But now it's easy to see
OOOHHH!
It's the start of something new,
It feels so right to be here with you, oh!
And now looking in your eyes,
I feel in my heart….
That it's the start, of something new
It feels so right
So right!
To be here with you
oh!
And now looking in your eyes,
Looking in YOUR eyes…
I feel in my heart…
Feel in my
Heart….
The start of something new
Start of something new
Start of something new…
"Bryce," he said, sticking his hand out. "Reyna," she introduced, shaking his hand. The stood there smiling at each other, not hearing the massive cheers surrounding them.
