Hey everyone. This is my first HSM fanfic so please be nice. And the writing in italic is Troy's memory. Read and review.

Troy was waiting for Gabriella. She just called him on his cell, saying she had great news

that she had to tell him in person. So he sat there in their secret hiding spot on the roof. Things had

been going great between him and Gabriella. They were in love. Troy told her over spring break,

and they have been inseparable since. He was remembering her exact reaction.

Troy told Gabriella he loved her when Troy, Gabriella, Taylor, Chad, Sharpay, Ryan,

Kelsi, and Zeke, were all on vacation. With the supervision of Gabriella's mom of course. They

could have been in Florida or someplace like that, but Gabriella and Taylor talked the group into

taking a educational trip to Washington DC.

Troy was sitting on the steps near the Capital Building waiting for his date with

Gabriella. The whole plane ride she had been going on and on about if there was one place she

wanted to go, it was the Capital Building. So Troy sat there waiting in her favorite spot in the

city for her. He was ready to say he loved her. And this was hardly the place that he had

planned it. He wanted to be on a beach at sunset with her when he finally said those words. But

he knew that if it was in her favorite place, it would truly be an event that Gabriella would

remember. He didn't bother trying to figure out what was going on inside her head anymore.

Then he saw her. Looking as beautiful as ever. Sure she was just wearing a blue tank top and

jeans, but in Troy's eyes she couldn't have looked more beautiful in a long flowing gown. She

sat down next to him.

"Hey, Troy. Ah, we are finally alone. Not that I don't love the group, but I need some

time with you.", Gabriella said. Troy heard her say love and was zapped back to reality. She

looked so pretty he almost forgot what he spent the whole trip trying to work up the guts to say.

He looked nervous, so nervous that Gabriella noticed.

"Troy, what's wrong?", she asked in a soft and caring tone. Troy knew that he had to

say it now or he might chicken out.

"These past few months with you have been amazing. And I have been trying to tell you

something. And it's really hard...", Troy said pausing. Gabriella's went into shock, but she

finally spoke before Troy could.

"Are you breaking up with me?", she asked almost tearful.

"What! No! Why would you think that?", Troy asked, now the one in shock. This was

not going as planned.

"You said that you were trying to tell me s-something that was really hard.", Gabriella

studdered out, tears rolling down her eyes.

"No, I am trying to tell you that I love you.", Troy said. It was not how he thought he

would say it but he said it. Gabriella looked up, and then started crying even harder.

"Gabbi, what's wrong?", Troy asked hoping that she felt the same way as him. She just

kept crying. They were drawing attention from onlookers. Troy just rubbed her back, trying to

calm her down.

"Look, if you don't feel the same way that's okay. And we can...", Troy said, but before

he could finish Gabriella kissed him.

"I love you too.", she finally said.

Troy smiled thinking about this memory. It scared him when it happened, but now it is

the best moment of his life.

"What are you smiling at?", Gabriella said walking in. Troy's smile grew even bigger at the

sight of her. She again, looked beautiful in an orange tank top and a floral skirt.

"I'm smiling at you.", he said walking up to kiss her. Gabriella pushed him back.

"Let me tell you my news first.", she said enthusiastically.

"I almost forgot. Alright, but make it quick.", he said aching to kiss her. Gabriella took and

deep breath and looked like she was jumping out of her skin.

"So you remember the last school musical that Sharpay and me starred in?", she started,

trying to contain her energy.

"Oh, the one where you had to kiss Ryan. Yeah, how could I forget.", Troy said preferring

not to relive that memory.

"Well there was a Hollywood music producer there. He saw Sharpay and me sing and said

that he could put us on Starz!", she said finally getting out the news. Starz was this big talent show,

where the singers became overnight sensations.

"You and Shar are gonna be famous.", Troy said finally kissing her.

"I don't know about that. But Sharpay and I have to go out to California to get a few songs

together. We are the two singers in the duo called .Fab-u-lous! I know name is weird for me, but it

screams Sharpay. So, now the bad news. I will have to miss our anniversary to get ready for the

show.", Gabriella finished.

"Forget that. We will have plenty more. You and Sharpay just pick me up something nice

in California.", Troy said kissing her again. Then Sharpay walked in.

"I don't mean to break up a moment for you guys, but did you tell him?", Sharpay asked

jumping up and down. Almost breaking her heels in the process.

"Yes, and he gives us his blessing.", Gabriella said walking over to her friend. She and

Sharpay did not always get along, but Gabriella was learning to deal with her.

"Great! Now nothing stands in the way of me being rich and famous!", Sharpay said. Then

she looked at Gabriella and Troy's looks.

"I mean us being rich and famous. Cut me a break, at least I'm trying.", she said in her

normal stuck up tone. Troy and Gabriella just laughed at her attempt to be a normal human being.

Please tell me what you think. If people like it, I will write more.
