DISCLAIMER: I disclaim.

PART II

the plan takes action

"So, let's talk about rumors," Sharpay said.

"Pick me!" Gabriella yelled.

"Gabriella," Sharpay said.

"There's one rumor that's Annie Dutch is afraid of doors. And another that's Madden Cappuccino goes out with Hilary Fluff," Gabriella said.

"That's great, but any— wait, did you say that Madden goes out with Hilary? That nasty fruitcake! He just broke up with me thirty seconds ago! Anyway, Chad, do you have anything?" Sharpay asked.

"Some freaks were saying that a room in the school was haunted," Chad said.

"What room?" Troy asked.

"Room 62. I would go check it out, but Taylor's tutoring me in English and Language Arts," Chad said.

"Chad, English is the same as Language Arts," Gabriella informed him.

"That's exactly why I need tutoring," Chad said.

"We can't go," Jason said. "Kelsi and I have plans."

"So do we," Sharpay said. "Me and Ryan have to practice for a new musical."

"So that leaves Troy and Gabriella," Taylor said.

"Hold up! We didn't even say we wanted to explore that room anyway," Troy said.

"Well someone has to go there. I already put money that two people would go to that room! That might five dollars I'll never get back!" Chad yelled.

"Gabi, let's just go. Chad gets crazy over his money," Troy said.

After a couple of minutes, Gabriella finally gave in. "Alright, I'll go."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"So, Room 62? Sounds familiar," Troy said.

"Yeah," Gabriella agreed.

It was quiet until they reached Room 62.

"Ready?" Troy asked.

"I guess," Gabriella said, opening the door.

"It's not so bad. Just a poster saying 'Reading is horrible. Let me kill you'. That's very uplifting," Troy said.

"I agree. All there is a bloody dry-erase marker, a bloody pencil sharpener, and blood-stained desks," Gabriella said. "Very comfortable."

"Well, I guess we can leave now," Troy said, turning to the door just in time to see it slam shut.

"I thought doors closed by themselves only in lame horror movies," Gabriella said.

"Get out!" said a loud whisper in the darkest corner of the room.

"Did you hear that?" Troy asked.

"You mean that extremely creepy whisper-like voice telling us to get out? No."

Troy ran over to the door and tried to open it. It wouldn't budge.

Gabriella ran up to Troy and hugged him. "Save me!"

"I'm thinking!" Troy looked around frantically. Until he saw something that caught his eye.

"Look! Some couplets!" Troy ran over to them.

"Oh, I think I know how to do this one. It was in The Vile Village in A Series of Unfortunate Events," Troy explained.

Lost in confusion

Only you will see sunlight.

Vision yourself in a place of happiness

Even when you're sad.

"This doesn't even make sense! How do you figure this out, Troy?" Gabriella asked.

"Well, it's either saying velo or love," Troy said.

"Figure it out quick, Troy!" Gabriella rushed him.

RUMBLE-RUMBLE

"What's that?" Troy asked, loosing his concentration.

"My guess is that it's a blood-sucking monkey," Gabriella said, her voice quivering with fear.

"Blood-sucking monkeys? Have you been watching The Vamonkey: Vampire Monkey? I love that movie!" Troy said.

"Yes, I have been watching that movie. But now's not the time to talk about movies! Now's the time to figure out what the heck the couplet means!" Gabriella yelled.

RUMBLE-RUMBLE

EEEEEEEEEEEEK!

"Troy, that door just opened," Gabriella said silently.

"Great, we can leave!" Troy said, smiling.

"Not that door. The door with the blood-sucking monkeys in it," Gabriella explained to him, trying to stay calm.

"Love!" Troy yelled.

"Love? What's love got to do with this?" Gabriella asked.

"The couplet means love! We just have to find a way to express it," Troy said.

"Well, Troy, I know this sounds so fake and that I'm only saying this so we can get out of this creepy place, but I love you!" Gabriella said.

"I love you, too!" Troy said.

They ran up to each other and…

"HA-HA!" Someone was laughing. The lights came on. The door opened. Chad, Taylor, Jason, Kelsi, Sharpay and Ryan appeared.

"What're y'all dong here?" Troy asked, thinking he might know the answer.

"We just played a harmless little trick on you so y'all can admit your feelings," Chad said.

"And it worked," Taylor added.

"What? We already admitted our feelings. We're going out! We were going to tell you that at the lunch table, but you went on talking about Room 62!" Gabriella yelled.

"Oh. Um, sorry," Chad apologized.

"Let's go, guys. It's getting late," Ryan said.

"Yeah. And next time you decide to pull a trick on us, make sure we know first," Gabriella said.

This really didn't turn out how I expected it to be. I'm not good with the 'horror' things. Anyway, a continuation to this will be on Thanksgiving (it will be posted and takes place on Thanksgiving). So look out for that. Read and review!
