Troy Bolton woke up to the sound of his beeping alarm clock. Troy groaned and turned over in his bed. He looked at his alarm clock and saw that it was already 7:00am. He got out of bed and went over to his bathroom to go get ready.

At 7:30am, Troy had showered and was dressed in a brown button up Calvin Klein shirt, some black Ralph Lauren pants and some black casual shoes (A/N: Outfit on Profile). His hair was to the side of his face, which is what he did when he was too lazy to actually do his hair. He then walked down the hall to his son's room.

Yeah, that's right Troy kept his son. After Greg gave Troy the furniture, diapers and baby food, Troy began his parenting. He had trouble sleeping because of Tyler's constant crying. It was also hard because Troy was on his own. He didn't have anyone to help him, except his parents who helped his often.

For breastfeeding, Troy had to use this invention Greg had bought for him. When the baby sucked in the tip, milk would some out like milk from the breast. Tyler had just turned 2 years old a few months ago, but he still sucked on a pacifier. Troy loved Tyler more than his own life. After all, Tyler was Troy's own flesh and blood.

Anyways, Troy walked into Tyler's room to find Tyler still sleeping in his crib. Troy smiled and quietly went over to the crib and looked at Tyler for a few seconds. Tyler was still sleeping, peacefully in his crib. Troy bent down and carefully picked Tyler up in his arms. Tyler stirred awake at his father's movement and rested his head on Troy's shoulder.

"Wake up, buddy. It's time for daddy to go to work and time for you to go to grandpa and grandma's house," Troy announced as he kissed the back of Tyler's head. Tyler took his head off of Troy's shoulder and looked up at his dad. Troy smiled at him and kissed his forehead.

Troy then went to Tyler's closet and grabbed some blue plaid shorts, a blue t-shirt and some blue tennis shoes (A/N: Outfit on profile). Troy then went over to Tyler's diaper changing table and got him dressed.

When Tyler was in his outfit, Troy put him down on the ground and tied his tennis shoes. Troy then brushed his son's blonde, curly hair and then went to Tyler's bathroom. Tyler could finally brush his teeth now because all of his teeth had grown in. Tyler brushed his teeth and while Troy just watched him.

Once Tyler was done brushing his teeth, Troy picked him up and carried him downstairs to the kitchen. Troy put Tyler in his high chair and got him a bowl of cereal. When Tyler was eating, Troy went over to the coffee maker and made himself some coffee.

When Tyler was finished with his breakfast a Troy put the bowl in the sink and got Tyler out of his high chair. Troy grabbed his suitcase and coffee and headed to the garage with Tyler following. Troy went to his Audi Q7 and put his suitcase in the passenger's seat and his coffee in the cup holder. He then turned around to see Tyler standing there, waiting patiently.

Troy smiled down at Tyler and picked him up. Troy opened the back seat door and put Tyler in his car seat. Troy kissed Tyler's forehead before going to the drivers seat and driving down the street to his parents' house.

Every weekday before Troy had to go to work, Troy would drop off Tyler at his parents' house. Troy could never find the perfect nanny or a babysitter that baby-sits during the day. His parents loved Tyler and Troy and very much loved that Troy brought Tyler over to their house every weekday. They only lived a few houses down, which made it great for Troy.

When Troy arrived, he got Tyler from the back seat and headed towards the front door of his parents' house. When the door opened he saw his mom there, with a huge grin on her face.

"Hello Troy! Hi Tyler! Come on in," Troy's mom greeted as he opened the door wider for Troy and Tyler. Troy stepped into the house and put Tyler down on the ground.

"Hi mom, I'll be back at 4:00pm to pick Tyler up," Troy stated.

"Okay Troy. We'll see you then," Troy's mom replied as she looked down at Tyler.

"Okay. Bye Tyler. Daddy will see you in a couple of hours," Troy said as he bent down and kissed Tyler's forehead.

"Bye daddy!" Tyler replied as he smiled at his dad, before running off into the house.

"Bye mom," Troy replied as he kissed his mom's cheek and then left the house. Troy then went to his car and drove to his office building, which was just 10 minutes away.

Meanwhile, Gabriella was at her house in studio city. She woke up to the sunshine that was shining through her windows. She opened her eyes and got out of her bed. She then walked over to her bathroom to go get ready for her job.

When she was done showering and doing her hair and make-up, she walked over to abnormally large closet. She stepped inside and looked through her clothes and tried to find something to wear. She finally found a Marc Jacob blouse, some Anne Taylor skinny jeans and Christian Dior peep toe heels. She grabbed her keys, her black Balenciaga handbag (A/N: Outfit on profile) and headed down to her garage. She went over to her to her Audi S6 and drove off to Starbucks.

This was the start of a typical day for Gabriella Montez. Gabriella would get up and then go to Starbucks before heading off to the Elle magazine company building. Ever since Gabriella's father took her own son away from her, Gabriella had to admit she was sad at first but she had to move on. She focused on her job, her family and friends.

When Gabriella arrived at work, she went upstairs to her office and began to look through some new files that were lying on her desk.

"Hey Gabriella!" Sharpay greeted as she entered Gabriella's office, holding a few folders in her hands.

"Hey Shar! What do you have there?" Gabriella asked. Gabriella and Sharpay became best friends ever since Gabriella had started working at ELLE.

"This is a new article Stacy wrote for the magazine," Sharpay answered as she handed the folder to Gabriella.

"Oh, thanks!" Gabriella replied as she took the folder. Sharpay then walked out of Gabriella's office and went over to her office. Gabriella picked up several folders and started to read the papers in them, while sipping her Starbucks vanilla frappuccino.

Meanwhile, Troy had just arrived at his office building. He took the elevator to his office, which was on the top floor of the building. Since he was the manager, he got paid a lot from his job. He got paid 1 billion a year. He had one of the most important jobs at the company. And this was the BIGGEST Company in the world. Troy and the boss of the company got the same amount of money.

Troy didn't buy a huge mansion or a bunch of luxury cars. He had a normal 2-story house, which was expensive in Los Angles and ONE luxury car. He didn't spoil little Tyler with a bunch of toys. Tyler was treated like any other regular boy. He had limits and Troy raised him to live life to the fullest and not worry about money or material things. He lived in a private location, away from the busy streets of Los Angles. He wanted Tyler to be able to ride his bike outside without having to worry about getting hit by a car or something.

Anyways, Troy walked over to his office and dropped his stuff in his leather armchair. He then went to his desk, sat in his spinney chair and logged onto his computer. He then began to get to work.

While Troy was working, he got a call on his blackberry touch. He looked at his collar ID and saw that it was Chad. Troy picked up the phone and answered.

"Hey Chad," Troy greeted.

"Hey man. Do you want to come over to my restaurant for lunch?" Chad questioned. That's right, Chad and his wife, Taylor, owned their own restaurant on Sixth Street. Their main chef was Troy's friend Zeke.

"Yeah, sure. I'll see you there at 12," Troy answered.

"Okay, later," Chad agreed as him and Troy both hung up the phone. Troy looked over at the time, which read 10:30pm. He then started to get back to work.

At 11:45pm, Troy left his office and went out on his lunch break. He drove off to Chad's restaurant.

When Troy got to Chad's restaurant, he walked in and saw that Chad was already seated at a table. Troy walked over to that table and sat down in the booth across from Chad.

"Hey Chad," Troy greeted.

"Hey Troy," Chad greeted back as he handed Troy a menu.

Once Troy and Chad had ordered their food and got their drinks there was a comfortable silence. After about two seconds of silence, Chad began to talk.

"So, Troy. I'm having this event at my restaurant tonight," Chad stated.

"Really? What is it?" Troy questioned.

"It's a date night thing for all single men and women," Chad answered, hoping Troy would get his point he was trying to make. Troy nodded his head and then realized what Chad was trying to tell him.

"Date night? For single men and women?" Troy recalled as Chad nodded at him.

"Would you want to come tonight?" Chad asked.

"Look, Chad. I know you want me to get back in the game and try to find another woman in my life. It's not going to happen anytime soon, though. I need to find a woman that can accept Tyler. I want it to come naturally," Troy explained.

"I know man, but come on, just this one night. Please! Me and Taylor will be hosting the whole thing," Chad begged. Troy looked at his best friend. He knew Chad cared about him; after all they were like brothers. But Troy had never seen Chad so worried. He knew Chad wanted him to find the perfect woman but Chad could never accept the fact that he wasn't ready.

Troy sighed, and then answered, "Fine Chad. I'll come."

"Really?" Chad asked in disbelief.

"If it mean that much to you, for me to find another woman, then yes," Troy answered with a smile.

"Thanks, man. You won't regret it," Chad assured.

"But there's one problem. Who's going to watch Tyler for me, while I'm gone?" Troy asked.

"Don't sweat it, man. Taylor is hiring a babysitter for Emily, so you could just drop off Tyler at my house and the babysitter could watch him, too," Chad answered. Emily was Chad and Taylor's 3-year old daughter.

"Fine," Troy sighed.

For the rest of lunch, Chad and Troy ate their food and talked. Troy and Chad were never uncomfortable with eachother and there was never an awkward silence between them. After being friends since preschool, you learn to live with each other.

Meanwhile, at 1:30pm, Gabriella was out having lunch with Rachel, ELLE magazine's main photographer. While her and Rachel were waiting for their food to come to their table, Gabriella got a phone call on her blackberry curve. She picked up her phone, without even looking at collar ID.

"Hello?" Gabriella answered.

"Hey Gabi! It's Taylor," Taylor stated.

"Oh, hey Tay! What do you need?" Gabriella answered, politely. Gabriella and Taylor had been friends since last year. They met at Taylor's restaurant and automatically clicked together.

"I was wondering if you are doing anything tonight?" Taylor asked.

"I don't have anything planned. Why?" Gabriella questioned.

"Well, I was wondering if you could watch Emily for me tonight?" Taylor asked.

"Oh, sure! I'd love to! What time?" Gabriella questioned.

"Be at my house at 7:30pm," Taylor answered.

"Okay," Gabriella agreed.

"Oh, and could you watch another child, too?" Taylor asked.

"Uh, who?" Gabriella questioned.

"Chad's friend's son. He's two years old," Taylor answered.

"Okay," Gabriella agreed.

"Thanks so much Gabi!" Taylor replied.

"No problem, Tay. I'll see you at 7:30," Gabriella said as she hung up the phone. Gabriella then returned back to lunch.
