A/N: Hi all!! I'm sure most of you with younger peoples (more than likely a sister) know that High School Musical 2 is coming out later this month. So I've been forced to watch the first movie god knows how many times and the songs got stuck in my head while I was working on TRTW, so I figured, "why not do a spin on HSM with AF" So here it is the first chapter of I Don't Sing!!!
Disclamier: I do not own anyone. They belong to Mr. C. And the song belongs to that dude that wrote it.
Chapter 1: The End of Winter Break
Trouble Kelp was the star player of his high school's crunchball team. He also happened to be the captain of the team. But even the best of players need to take a vacation. And that was what Trouble was doing. He was taking a vacation in the French Alps with his parents and brother. But that didn't stop him from playing his favorite sport.
"Come on Grub," Trouble said tossing the ball to his brother. Grub looked up at the clock.
"Trouble can we stop now?" Grub asked throwing the ball at him. "We've been at this for three hours!" Trouble laughed and caught the ball and threw it into the goal that was set up in the gym area. "The big game is in a two weeks." Trouble said picking the ball up and juggling it on his knee. "We have to be ready to beat the Pirates by then." He bounced the ball on his knee again and turned and kicked it into the goal. Grub sighed, "We've been ready for this game all season Trouble. We're going to be fine." Grub picked up the ball and threw it into the goal. The door of the gym opened up and Trouble and Grub's parents walked into the room. "I see you're working hard for the big game," Mr. kelp said picking up a ball and throwing it at Trouble who caught it and threw it into the goal. "Yep!" Trouble said happily and noticed that his parents were all dressed up. Then he remembered that it was New Years Eve and that there were two parties going on. One for the adults and one for the 'younger adults'. "Now boys," Mrs. Kelp tutted at them, "This is going to be our last night here in the Alps and you're going around playing crunchball." She took the crunchball that her husband had picked up and tossed it into the ball basket next to her. "Trouble and Grub go up stairs and shower and change. You two have been playing crunchball all day. Go and have some fun at the party." Mrs. Kelp said and ushered her children out of the gym and upstairs to their room. "I call the shower first!" Trouble said and ran to the bathroom to shower. "No fair!" Grub yelled and raced after his brother.
Holly Short was curled up on the couch in her room reading a book about magic. The door of the bathroom opened up and her cousin Heather walked out. "Aren't you coming to the party?" She asked as she put her make-up bag up in her suitcase. "If I say no you're going to tell Crystal and she will make go down to the party dressed up like some freak," Holly said marking her place in the book and standing up. "I have no choice but to go." Holly said and grabbed a soft red sweater and a pair of black pants and went into the bathroom to change. When she came out Heather was sitting on the bed waiting for her.
"Mom made me wait for you," Heather said and walked out the door. Holly sighed and followed her out of the room and down the stairs to the lobby area where the party for the 'young adults' was being held. The room was filled with streamers and colorful lights. In the middle of the room was a small stage with a pixie and a sprite on it singing karaoke.
"Oh! I hope I get picked to go up there," Heather said pointing to the stage. Holly rolled her eyes.
"Whatever. I'm going to get something to drink," Holly said and walked off. She went over to a table and poured herself a cup of water. There was a couch next to the fire place. Holly walked over to the couch and sat down. She sipped her water and watched an elf in a cowboy hat and a dwarf in a big fluffy pink hat sing 'You're the One That I Want'. Holly sat and listened to them sing the song. "Nice job you two!" A pixie said showing the elf and dwarf off the stage. He picked up one of the microphones from a stand. "Okay! Who is next?!" Two spot lights came on and swept around the room. One of the lights strayed on to her. The other had stopped on an elf that was leaning against the wall. "Here we go!" The pixie said and ran off the stage to the elf on the other side of the room. A pixie grabbed Holly's arm and pulled her over to the stage. "I don't sing," she said to the pixie as he pushed her onto the stage. He smiled at her and ran off. The pixie that was apparently running the whole thing came back to the stage with the elf Holly had seen earlier. "You two may thank me one day for this," the pixie said handing the mic to the elf next to her. "Good luck!" He said and jumped off the stage. Holly looked at the elf next to her. The music started up and she tore her eyes away from the elf. This is not going to go well, Holly thought as the elf began to sing.
"Grub I'm going down stairs." Trouble said putting a jacket on over his light blue shirt. Trouble left the room before Grub had a chance to answer him. He walked down the stairs and into the main lobby. He looked around the room and saw an elf and a dwarf singing the last few words of a song. He sighed and leaned against the wall.
"Nice job you two!" A pixie said showing the elf and dwarf off the stage. He picked up one of the microphones from a stand. "Okay! Who is next?!" Two spot lights came on and swept around the room. One of them stopped on Trouble and the other stopped on an elf sitting next to the fire place. "Uh oh," Trouble muttered. "Here we go!" The pixie said and ran off the stage and grabbed Trouble's arm and dragged him onto the stage. Someone had ushered the elf that was sitting by the fire place onto the stage. "You two may thank me one day for this," the pixie said handing Trouble the mic. "Good luck!" He said and jumped off the stage. Trouble looked over at the girl. Whoa, she's cute, Trouble thought as the music started up. A piano was playing softly. Trouble put the mic on the stand and looked up at the plasma screen that was in front of him and the other elf.
"Living in my own world,"Trouble started singing as the words lighted up on the screen, "Didn't understand. That anything can happen, when you take a chance."He looked over at the elf. She was looking down at the ground. He turned to leave.
"I never believed in,"the elf sang into the microphone in front of her. Trouble turned around. "What I couldn't see. I never opened my heart."
"Oho," Trouble sang quickly into the mic.
"To all the possibilities."
"I know," They sang together.
"That something has changed." The girl sang. She looked over at Trouble and grinned.
"Never felt this way." Trouble joined in grinning at the elf.
"And right here tonight,"
"This could be the start of something new."
"It feels so right,"
"To be here with you. Oho."
"And now looking in you're eyes,"
"I feel in my heart," The girl sang into her mic.
"Feel in my heart." Trouble echoed her.
"The start of something new." They sang together. Trouble smiled at the girl and took his jacket off. He tossed it behind him and took his microphone off the stand. "Now who would've ever thought that, Mm."
"We'd both be here tonight."
"Oho."
"Yeah."
"And the world looks so much brighter." The girl sang and took her microphone off the stand.
"Brighter, brighter." Trouble echoed again.
"With you by my side!" The girl said turning to Trouble. She was ginning.
"By my side." Trouble took a step near her.
"I know that something has changed. Never felt this way!" They sang looking each other in the eye.
"I know it for real," the girl sang.
"This could be the start of something new! It feels so right, to be here with you. Oho! And now looking in you're eyes, I feel in my heart," Trouble and the girl sang. Trouble couldn't believe that he was singing next to this cute elf. He offered her a hand. She smiled at him and took it.
"The start of something new."
"I never knew that it could happen, till it happened to me! Yeah!" Trouble sang into his microphone and took another step towards the girl. She didn't move but kept smiling.
"I didn't know it before, but now it's easy to see! Oh!" They sang. Trouble pulled her close to him and spun her out.
"It's the start of something new! It feels so right, to be here with you! Oho. And now looking in you're eyes, I feel in my heart! That it's the start of something new! It feels so right,"
"To be here with you!" The girl sang with all her heart and took a step towards him.
"Oho!" Trouble said into the mic.
"And now looking in you're eyes!"
"Looking in you're eyes!" Trouble echoed her taking a step towards her.
"I feel in my heart!" She said taking another step.
"Feel in my heart!" He said stepping forward. Now they were face to face.
"The start of something new." She said holding her hand out.
"The start of something new." Trouble took her hand in his.
"The start of something new…." The song ended and the room bursted into applause. Trouble was jerked back to reality and looked around the room. He looked back at the girl. "I'm Trouble," he said lowering the microphone to his side.
"Holly," she said smiling at him. The pixie came on stage and ushered them off it. Trouble picked up his jacket from the floor and put it on. "Want to go outside?" Holly asked him as he brushed his jacket off.
"Sure," Trouble said and followed Holly outside. They stood on the deck and leaned on the railing. Snow was falling.
"So you sing?" Holly asked Trouble.
"No." Trouble said turning to Holly.
"Really? It sounds like you do." Holly said grinning. Trouble chuckled.
"Yea, my shower head is my biggest fan." Trouble said jokingly. "What about you?"
"I don't sing," Holly said.
"Are you sure about that?" Trouble asked. "It sounds like you can sing too." Holly laughed.
"Okay, so I can sing," Holly said crossing her arms. Trouble laughed and looked up at the night sky. Inside the building they could hear people counting down to the New Year. "5! 4! 3! 2! 1! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!" The sky was then filled with fireworks. Trouble looked down at Holly. Her hazel eyes were shimmering. She looked up at Trouble. "Happy New Year." She said. Trouble grinned at her. "Happy New Year," he said.
"I'd better go wish my cousin and aunt Happy New Year," Holly said after a moment.
"I should go find my brother and make sure he's okay," Trouble said nodding over to the room. "Um, do you want to exchange numbers?" Trouble asked fumbling around in his pocket for his phone.
"Sure," Holly said and took out her own phone. She took a picture of Trouble and handed him her phone. Trouble did the same. He typed his number onto the phone and handed it back to her. Holly handed him his phone back and put hers back into her pocket. Trouble put his phone away, "So where are you from?" He asked looking up but Holly had left already. Trouble looked around but couldn't see her anywhere. Trouble sighed and walked back inside to find Grub.
