Author's Note: I don't own any famous people, movies, or songs from movies. However, I wish I owned Lucas Grabeel. (:

They walked through the park together, just like they did every Friday afternoon. Since High School Musical, they became best friends and each day after filming, they would hang out for hours. They told each other anything and everything, and they loved each others company. The two friends had a spot where they'd sit and watch the sunset on a hill with a cherry tree.

"Ashley..." the boy started when they stood under the tree. Her brown eyes met his crystal blue ones and he knew he had to tell her. "Ashley, I love you. I think I love you more than a best friend." he nervously said as he swept a piece of hair away from her face. He slid his hand gently down her arm and held her hand.

She smiled at him "Aw, Lucas! I love you too - more than a best friend." she giggled as she reached for his other hand to hold. He laughed and blushed as he released her hands and hugged her. She snuggled into his arms, and he held her close.

After hugging for what seemed like forever, they looked at each other and Lucas gently tilted her chin up towards him.

As they were about to lean in, Ashley said "Good Morning Los Angeles! It's Monday, 6AM and it's very cloudy!"

Lucas was puzzled and asked "Ashley? Are you okay?"

She just continued "It will be a lovely day, about 80 degrees. The only downside? It's very cloudy." She smiled. Suddenly, Lucas' eyes jolted open. He looked around and found himself in his bedroom, and not with his best friend.

"Damn." he said as he ran a tired hand through his tousled hair. He shut his alarm clock off and got out of bed. Lucas went into the bathroom and threw his pajamas on the floor. After a few minutes of being in the hot shower, he began to sing.

"It's hard to believe, that I couldn't see... That you were always there beside me. Thought I was alone with no one to hold, but you were always right beside me." His tenor voice echoed throughout the bathroom. As he sang, the thought about Ashley singing her part along with him.

He got out of the shower and wrapped a towel around his lower half, and draped another one around his shoulders. The clock next to his bed read 6:30, which meant he had a half hour to get ready.

After rummaging through his messy dresser drawers, he found a black tee-shirt with khaki jeans. (A/N: This is the same outfit Lucas wore while doing the "Bop To the Top" dance-along.) He brushed his hair and looked at the clock. It was 6:45, which was good, because it only took him 15 minutes to get to the studio anyway.

Lucas got into his car, and pulled into the parking lot at exactly 7:00. He hurriedly got out and fast-walked into the building. When he opened the door, he saws, Vanessa, Corbin, Monique and his best friend, Ashley. His heart skipped a beat as she warmly smiled at him.

Kenny, the director greeted him as he came through the door. "Hello Lucas! How's everything?"

"It's all good, Kenny. Yourself?" Lucas politely said as he sat down next to Ashley on the couch.

"Good thanks. Now that everyone is here, I have some news for you guys. Since the ratings for High School Musical were so great... we're going to take things to the next level!"

One more thing: This is my first fanfic, so I'm sorry I'm a bit of a Noob with this. Haha.
