Sorry about the long wait guys! I told you that I don't have much time to update and since school started, it's hard to keep up with my other stories too :( So this one's just a filler. The Gabriella/Chad section is almost an exact copy of the regular Cheated, just with different names. I wanna keep this as close to the original as possible...

...Gabriella...

Gabriella was still staring out of the airport window minutes long after Troy's plane had left, sorrow sketching across her features.

Suddenly she heard someone say "You coming?" behind her. She turned around only to be looking into Chad's soft brown eyes.

She replied "Oh, yeah. Sorry. He left 2 minutes ago and I already miss him."

Chad gave her a look of sympathy and comforted "Don't worry. He's gonna call you as soon as he gets there. I'm sure you'll feel better when he does."

Gabriella smiled and said "Thanks. Well, better get going before they start wandering."

Chad nodded and headed for the door, but felt a strong tug on his arm. The next thing he knew, he was in a tight hug with Gabriella. Although he was confused at her sudden action, he concealed her in his arms and mumbled "What was that for?"

They pulled apart and Gabriella giggled "Sorry. I just needed a hug."

Chad grinned and reassured "Don't mention it. Better get back to the car."

They walked to the car together side by side while Chad thought smugly "She trusts me completely. That's good. That's very good. It'll help me later with what I have in mind..."

...Troy...

When Troy's plane arrived in Toronto, the loud buzz woke him up. He jumped and blinked a few times and thought "Damn! Here already?"

He looked out the window and saw that he was at the Toronto Airport. He smiled from ear to ear when he saw a middle aged man with black hair and matching blue eyes standing by the gate. Troy quickly undid his seat belt and dashed off the plane, ran down the steps and snuck up behind the man. He cleared his throat and said in a low voice "Excuse me sir, would you happen to know the whereabouts of Jack Bolton?"

The man turned around and started saying "I'm Jack Bolt...Troy?"

Troy smiled and shrugged "What do you know. I guess I found him."

Jack quickly swept his son up in his arms and felt Troy do the same. He whispered "Good to see you again buddy."

Troy replied "I missed you so much dad."

Jack parted from his son to look into his eyes and say "Me too. God, you've grown in 6 months, haven't you?"

Troy laughed "Yeah, mom wouldn't stop feeding me."

Jack smiled "How is she? I haven't spoken to her in months."

Troy shrugged "Okay I guess. She's been dating around lately. Half the time they're total assholes though."

Jack sighed "Yeah, that's her taste. Well, might as well be getting your bags so we can head back to the house."

Troy flashed his 100 watt smile and nodded, following his father to the bag line. After packing the bags in the truck of Jack's car, they were off to Troy's second home.

...That Night...

Troy walked through the dark streets of Toronto, a smile plastered on his face. To anyone, he was just browsing through the streets aimlessly. But they were very wrong. Troy had a destination in mind.

He walked up to a certain house in particular and heard voices in the backyard. They sounded excited, yet very annoyed. Troy laughed to himself. He knew who they were. They were his Canada friends that he met 2 years ago. He told them that he would meet them here 2 hours ago. He was purposely late. After all, when does the word 'planned' mean 'surprise'?

He walked through the yard and behind the house to find 4 teenagers sitting at a wooden table, chatting and anticipating their friend's arrival. 3 girls and 1 boy sat there.

Amanda Bynes. The blonde haired, green eyed girl was Troy's personal laughter source. There was never a dull moment with her around. She was one of the nicest people around, but could be sassy at times. All in all, Troy loved her like a sister.

The guy of the group made Troy smile. Elijah Kelly. No one could compare to him. He was the guy that everyone ran to for advice as well. This dark skinned boy was also a ladies man, mainly wooing them over with his sense of humor and his beautiful singing voice. Troy missed him.

Another one of the ladies of the group was a big, bubbly pack of fun. Nikki Blonskey, the fun, sweet, energetic girl that Troy has known for 2 years of his life. He never regretted those years either. He loved Nikki.

Finally, Troy's favorite of the group. Brittany Snow. The blonde that had Troy's eyes and delicate attitude. Brittany was the one who had introduced Troy to all of these crazy people 2 years ago. She was the sweetest, most loveable person in Toronto that Troy had come to know. He knew he shouldn't have, but he had a very strong crush on Brittany. If it weren't for Gabriella, whom he loved, he would've asked Brittany out a few weeks after he met her. But he knew he couldn't do that to Gabriella. Troy was a lot of things, but he wasn't, and never would be, a cheater.

He took a deep breath and snuck over to the group of 4 who were awaiting his arrival. Since they were all sitting with their backs towards him, he found it relatively easy to sneak up behind Brittany and poke her sides.

After giving a very loud shriek of surprise, the blonde turned around and glared at Troy, who was rolling around in the grass laughing his heart out.

"Hey Bolton, what are you laughing at?" she asked. Troy opened his eyes and was about to reply, but Brittany was soon straddling him and tickling his sides furiously. She and everyone else knew that he was extremely ticklish.

His face grew red in an instant and he was soon screaming "Stop! Please, stop!"

"Beg for it!" she replied in a sing song voice.

Troy, trying to breath at least once, squeaked "Mercy! Uncle! Just STOP!!"

Brittany, now laughing herself, finally ceased her actions and stood up off of her best guy friend. She then helped him up, grabbing his hand and hoisting him to his feet. Before Troy could regain his composure, he was wrapped into a tight, bone-crushing hug.

"I missed you sooo much Troy!" Brittany squealed in his ear. Troy hugged her back and buried his head in her neck, whispering "Missed you too Britt."

When the two pulled apart, Troy saw Brittany wink at the rest of the gang. Scrunching his eyes, he said "What was that for?"

Suddenly, Troy was sent to the ground with 4 people on top of him. He laughed and, trying to breathe, called "Yeah, guys. I'm really feeling the love here."

"Good," Elijah laughed "That's the whole point."

Troy chuckled along with them and when he found that he could no longer ignore the need for oxygen, he lifted Amanda, who was on his left, and crawled under her to escape the madness.

"Well," he announced once he stood up "That was a comical way to say hello."

"You got that right," Nikki agreed, grabbing Troy's outstretched hand and hoisting herself up. "And also a pretty good way of saying WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU?!"

Troy chuckled and replied "Hey, you're the one who always loves surprises. Don't be a hypocrite." Nikki just smiled and shoved him by his shoulder.

"Whatever," Troy rolled his eyes "I'm here in one piece, I didn't get murdered from you cerial killers, and I'll be here for the next 6 months. What can we do to wreak havoc on Canada this cycle?"

The gang laughed as Elijah spoke up "We can go to the mall tomorrow and mess with clerks at Hollister and Aeropostale."

"Oh! Like we did last week?" Amanda recalled.

"You got it."

Troy sighed "Oh God, what did you do this time?"

Elijah, bubbly and excited to tell his friend all about it, started "Well first we went to American Eagle and looked under all the stalls at people changing, then we went to Abercrombie and Fitch and..."

Troy smiled and gazed at his four friends as Elijah explained the whole hillarious story. He definitely had a lot of catching up to do.

So there you go. Short and sweet. But that's what fillers are, right?

REVIEW!! Thnx :)
