AN-I know I haven't been on in a while and I broke a lot of my promises but I have a good idea for this one. I love High School Musical. It's a song-fic ending in… well you'll see. Okay on with it.

Disclaimer- Okay I don't own HSM but I do own my story idea. I don't own the songs I borrowed them that's it. Now can I start!

The After Party

Chapter One

Do You Believe in Magic

Gabriella Montez walked through the door into the After Party at one of the team member's house and was immediately surrounded by a horde of people. People asking her to dance, to sing, about Troy….

"Hey! Leave the girl alone she just got here. Sheesh! " Shouted a voice from outside of the crowd, as a blonde head started towards Gabriella. "Come on you shouldn't be here you should be in the center of the party. Come with me." Said Sharpay as she grabbed Gabriella's hand and pulled her into the living room.

"Sharpay! Why are you helping me I thought that you hated me?" Asked Gabby as they walked into the room, the music pounding. She looked around in wonder, this was the second real party she had been to since the New Years one at the Hotel.

"No way! I mean now that the roles have been decided there is no reason besides if you can't make a show then I'm the leading lady again. Besides with both of us on the Drama Club then no one will be able to stand up to us. Anyway I'm trying to expand my circle of friends and you seemed a pretty good way to start. So friends?" She held out her hand to Gabby.

Gabriella smiled, "Yeah friends. This'll be great so where's Troy, Chad, Taylor, and Ryan?" she asked looking around.

"Oh their around here somewhere but I bet if you sang then they would come rushing Troy brought a karaoke machine and I have the perfect song for you deal? Okay let's go. You go put your coat down and I'll set it up." Said Sharpay as she hurried over to the stage and started whispering to the DJ, Zeke. He nodded and stopped the music.

Gabriella placed her coat down on a chair and rubbed her bare shoulders, she was still wearing the red dress from that afternoon and was now re-considering her choice of clothes. But it was too late to turn back now Sharpay was already hurrying over.

"Don't worry there was way more people in the gym today besides it's a great song." She smiled and pulled her towards the stage.

"But what is the song Sharpay!" she asked as they pushed through the crowd of people.

"It's Do You Believe In Magic. I think it'll be a good song for you so just watch the song and sing then you'll see your score at the end! Have fun. Don't worry this will work!" she said as she gave her one last smile then hurried over to Zeke who had hooked the Karaoke Machine to the Speakers and pressed play and put in the song.

Gabriella stepped up and put her hands onto the mike as the music came on. She looked at the screen and waited for it to start and….started to sing

Do you believe in magic?
In a young girls heart
How the music can free her
whenever it starts

And it's magic
if the music is groovy
It makes you feel happy like an old time movie

I'll tell ya about the magic
It'll free your soul
but it's like trying to tell a stranger 'bout rock n roll

She smiled as she remembered buying the CD and listening to it over and over again and started losing her nerves and it was re-placed by excitement.

If you believe in magic, don't bother to choose
If it's jug band music or rhythm and blues
Just go and listen
It'll start with a smile
It won't wipe off your face no matter how hard you try
Your feet start tapping
And you can't seem to find
How you got there
So just blow your mind

She smiled as she saw a familiar group of people heading towards the stage. She looked over at Sharpay who was smiling triumphantly knowing that her plan had worked, she smiled back then went over to Troy and everyone else.

Do you believe in magic?
Come along with me
We'll dance until morning, just you and me
and maybe, if the music is right
I'll meet ya tomorrow
so late at night

We'll go a dancin' baby then you'll see
all the magic's in the music and the music's in me, yeah

Do you belive in magic? Yeah.
Believe in the magic in a young girl's soul
believe in the magic of rock n roll
Believe in the magic that can set you free
Ohhhh, talkin' bout magic

Do you believe like I believe?
Do you believe in magic?

Do you believe like I believe?
Do you believe in magic?

Do you believe like I believe?
Do you believe in magic?

The song ended Gabriella smiled shyly down at Troy. He was looking at her in surprise. She giggled at how long his had been open in surprise. Then she looked over at the Machine to see her grade. She got an 98. She laughed again as she jumped down from the stage.

"Hey everyone! What's up?" Taylor was the first one to recover from the shock and came over and gave her friend a big hug.

"Gabriella that was great! But why didn't you come and try to find us first before you decided to song?" she asked curiously.

"Well Sharpay figured since this is such a big house that if I sang you guys would come running when you heard me…." She trailed off embarrassed.

Taylor laughed, then went over to Chad and whispered in his ear. He smiled and walked away with her.

Gabriella looked sideways at Troy wondering why he was so quiet.

He looked fully at her as his face broke into a smile. "Wow that was great! We could hear you all the way outside. Zeke set up so many speakers. I knew that it was you right away. It sounded really good."

"Really? Thanks. But now it's your turn to sing let's see if you can get better than a 98…" she smiled mischievously and winked over at Sharpay and dragged Troy over to the stage and shoved him up….

AN-Please Review this will probably have one more chapter but I'm not sure. Next you get to hear Troy sing (well not really hear) and then they talk some more. Yeah I will have 2 more chapters because they still have to kiss so see ya later people!

P.S.-Please Review!
