"Sharpay! Where are you?!!!" Ryan asked form downstairs "Shar… Sharpay Evans!!!" Ryan screamed "Gosh Ry, I'm in the balcony" Sharpay said annoyed.

"Shar, it's New Year's Eve, our last one in high school, Dad wants us down stairs" Ryan said not noticing that his sister didn't listen to a word he said "Time flies, doesn't it?" Sharpay asked as she was looking at the sky "I always used to come here and look for mom up there" she told Ryan smiling but with tears coming out of her eyes "Did you find her?" Ryan asked while sitting next to her (they're sitting on top of a table) "yes" "How do you know what star is mom?" Ryan asked looking up at the sky "Because she's that one" Shar responded pointing at a big and bright beautiful star, Ryan had to admit that no star would be more perfect for their mom than that one.

But right next to that one there was another star, this one was bigger but it wasn't that bright (their father) , and next to the second one 2 other stars were there, they were really close to each other "Hey Shar, do you see those other 2 stars?" "Yes, what about them?" Sharpay asked "When we are far from each other, and we feel lonely, we can just look up at the sky at night and remember that we're supposed to be together" he told her smiling, Sharpay just giggled, the 2 of them just stood there in silence, until Ryan broke it "Hey we should go inside, dad is probably furious" he said getting up "What a way o end a moment there Ry"

Sharpay said getting up after him.

When they both got down stairs they found their father was talking to a tall brunette woman and that he didn't noticed that the 2 of them just got down "Achoooo!" Sharpay fake sneezed "Oh, hi" the woman told them "Sharpay, Ryan, I will like you to meet Melody, a friend from work" their father Mark said "Hello, I'm Melody pleased to meet you" Melody said shaking Ryan and Sharpay's hand.

Sharpay was angry at her father, he brought another woman to the house "Please to meet you to" Sharpay replied in a tone that she hadn't used in a while the "Ice Queen" tone, Ryan noticed and gave her a weird look, she hasn't used that tone since after the call backs "Would you excuse me for a while?" Sharpay asked in the same tone "Sure Sharpay, but be back soon, it's almost 2008" Mark said as Sharpay walked in front of Ryan "I'll go with her" Ryan said before running after his sister.

"You have some very nice kids Mark" Melody told Mark (who else???) taking a sip of hot chocolate and sitting down on the couch, "Yeah, but since Mary's accident (Mary is the twins mother) I lost contact with them" Mark said sitting down next to Melody.

Sharpay was headed for the bathroom but Ryan stopped her "Shar what happened?, You haven't acted like this since after the callbacks?!" "Ry I was just getting used to waking up and not seeing her (she means her mom) in the morning, he (her father) can't bring another woman into his life right now or ever!!!" she shouted, tears coming down her cheeks.

Ryan checked that Mark and Melody weren't listing "Shar Melody is just a friend from work" Ryan said trying to calm her down "I don't care" she whined, Ryan hugged her and let her cry on his shoulder.

After a while Ryan noticed that Sharpay stopped crying but she was still hugging him, he slowly lifted her chin and brought her lips closely to his, until he kissed her, Sharpay accepted the kiss and kissed back into what became a make-out session out side the bathroom.

"Happy New Year Melody!" "Happy New Year Mark, thanks for letting me spent New year's with your family" "No problem" Mark responded "Shouldn't we go say Happy New Year to Sharpay and Ryan?" Melody suggested "Oh! Yeah"

When walking up the stairs Mark and Melody were talking so they didn't notice Sharpay and Ryan until they got up the last step "OH MY GODD!!!" Melody and Mark yelled, Melody dropping her hot chocolate, Sharpay and Ryan broke up only to see the looks on their father's and Melody's faces.

Sharpay noticed that her father was turning red because of the anger, "Dad we can explain" Sharpay said stepping forward "No!!!" Mark yelled at her while giving her a slap "Don't touch her!!!" Ryan screamed getting in front of her.

Mark was scared, he didn't plan on hitting Sharpay, Melody was as surprised as he was "Shar you ok?" Ryan asked her while she grabbed him afraid of letting go, making Mark remember the reason he did what he did "Melody grab Sharpay and lock her in her room, I'll grab Ryan" Mark told Melody "Noooo!!!" Sharpay screamed "C'mon Shar" Melody told her "Don't call me that only family and friends call me that and you're neither of them!!!" Sharpay snapped still holding Ryan "Shar let go" Ryan told her "No!!!" Sharpay screamed back "Shar let go!" Ryan said getting loose from Sharpay's grip "Ryan!" Sharpay whispered "C'mon" Melody told her while Sharpay saw Ryan disappear into his room.
