Chapter 3
Finally the half time buzzer went off and the Wildcats were up by ten. After a few minutes Mrs. Horton rounded up all of the homecoming nominees as Troy and Chad walked out of the locker room.
Chad and Sharpay once again introduced the nominees, but this time leaving out some of Chad's speech. "Tonight our crown bearers are Dylan Hudgens and Stella Evans of Mrs. Nesbit's first grade class." Chad said. Dylan and Stella walked out onto the court carrying red velvet pillows which the sparkling crowns sat. "Okay this year's winter homecoming King and Queen are... could I get a drum roll please?" Sharpay asked. The snare drum section of the band started a drum roll. Gabriella squeezed Troy's hand. "TROY BOLTON AND GABRIELLA MONTEZ!" Chad and Sharpay said together. Everyone started cheering. Dylan handed Troy Gabriella's crown and he gently placed it on her head While Gabriella did the same to Troy. As a tradition every year the king and queen had to kiss. Troy dipped Gabriella and deeply kissed her. A few whistles and hoots were heard from the crowd. Gabriella giggled as they pulled apart.
The candidates walked off the court and into the hallway. "Troy I can't believe we won." Gabriella said. "Ya I know. Sorry babe but I have to get in the locker room can you take this for me?" Troy asked. "Sure, I'm going to go sit with Sharpay and Taylor good luck." Gabriella took Troy's crown and kissed him. "Bye." Troy turned and went into the locker room while Gabriella walked over to Sharpay.
"Hey Sharpay." Gabriella said. "Oh hey Gabi we can go sit down as soon as Ryan comes to take Stella home." Shapay said. "Your cousin is so cute." Gabriella said as Stella walked over to them. She was very small for her age. "Stella you did fantastic tonight." Gabriella said. "Ha I know." Stella giggled. "Uh hey Stella." Dylan tapped Stella on the shoulder shyly. She turned around. "Uh I thought that you did really good tonight and you looked really pretty as the angel in today's Christmas pageant. I thought that maybe sometime you could play with me at recess." Dylan rambled. "I'd rather share my snacks with Glenn Kind!" Stella rolled her eyes. "Wouldn't people call you a weirdo?" Dylan asked. "Evaporate tall person!" Stella snapped and turned back to Sharpay and Gabriella. "Oh my gosh." Gabriella and Sharpay giggled at the seven year old's comment. "Ugh Finally Ryan you took forever." Sharypay said to her brother. "Well I'm here now. Come on Stella it's time to go home." Ryan took Stella's hand and they walked outside. "Oh we better sit down half time is almost over." Gabriella said.
The two girls walked back into the gym and sat down next to Taylor and Kelsi. The game started and the eagles had caught up. Now with hardly anytime left on the clock the Wildcats were down by two and Troy had just got the rebound. He wasn't even barley at half court but right as the buzzer rang Troy looked at Gabriella and chucked the ball towards the basket. The crowd went silent as they watched the ball fly directly at the net and swish in.
"AND IT'S GOOD!! TROY BOLTON HAS JUST MADE A FULL COURT SHOT! WILDCATS WIN WILDCATS WIN!!" Everyone went crazy. Screaming and cheering. Gabriella ran onto the court straight into Troy's arms. "Oh my gosh Troy that was amazing." Gabriella kissed him. "Dude that was awesome!" Chad gave Troy a high five. After about ten minutes of celebrating the team finally had go back into the locker room to change but on the way back Gabriella pulled Troy aside into a vacant hallway. "I can't believe I made that!" Troy kissed her. "I know." Gabriella said. Troy kissed her again. Gabriella pulled away. "Hey um, can I ask a favor?" "Sure is there something wrong?" Troy said with concern in his voice. "Well, yes, uh no, urgh, these shoes are really uncomfortable so I was wondering if I could borrow your car keys to get my flip flops." Gabriella rambled. Troy let out a sigh of relief. "Gez, Gabriella you scared me there for a second. Just let me change and I'll go with you." "Thanks, see you in a bit." Gabriella kissed his cheek. Troy walked back into the locker room to change while Gabriella watched the other students head into the old gym for the homecoming dance. She could hear the music perfectly from the hall. Gabriella felt a something vibrating in her purse. Gabriella pulled out her cell phone. It was an IM from Sharpay.

One shower, a new set of clothes and a spray of Axe later...
Troy came out of the locker room with his keys in hand. He wrapped his arms around Gabriella's waist. "Okay let's go." Troy and Gabriella walked back out to his car. Troy unlocked the door and Gabriella took off her high heels and put on some red flip flops. "Oh wait we don't want to forget these." Gabriella stood on her tip toes to place Troy's crown on his head. Troy laughed at how much taller he was then her. He took Gabriella's tiara out of her hands and gently placed it on top of her head. They started to walk hand in hand back into the building.
"Urgh, as much as I like to dress up, I hate those shoes!" Gabriella said. "Then why did you wear them?" Troy laughed. "Because They make me some what taller and you got them for me." Gabriella blushed. "Ah what people do when they are in love." Troy hugged Her. From a distance Coach Bolton was watching them thinking about the conversation that he had with his son before the game.
Flash Back
"So Troy is everything okay with Gabriella?" Jack asked. "Ya Dad everything if going great between us." Troy said. "No, I mean is she feeling sick or anything?" Jack corrected himself. "No, why?" Troy eyed his dad. "Well she just looked kinda pale and nervous back there and when she was at the house last night." Jack said. Troy placed his head in his hands. "That's probably because you scare the crap out of her." Troy laughed. "Come on I'm not that scary." "She thinks that you hate her for the singing thing and you can be just flat out scary during games." Troy said. Jack shook his head. "Just go start warming up."
End of Flash Back.
"Hey shouldn't you guys be in the dance?" Jack asked. "Oh ya Dad sorry Gabriella just wanted to change her shoes." Troy said. "Okay. So Gabriella did you enjoy the game?" Jack asked. "Yes Mr. Bolton that last shot was amazing." Gabriella shyly said. "Please Gabriella, call me Jack congratulations on winning homecoming Queen." "Okay, um thank you Jack." Troy took Gabriella's hand as Jack walked away. "Awkward much?" Troy said. "Yeah." Gabriella said and they walked into the dance. Sharpay came running up to them. "Ryan just called me he has major news!" Sharpay yelled over the music. "What is it?" Gabriella yelled. "I don't know yet but he said he wants to take everyone to Ihop after the dance. COME ON!" Sharpay grabbed both of their arms and drug them to them to the dance floor.
The gang all danced to the fast songs together. Troy, Gabriella, Sharpay and Chad kept getting the occasional "tone it down" look from the chaperones. After a while the Cha Cha slide came on. Every one started screaming and dancing. Ryan walked up to the group just as it was ending. "What?! NOOOOO I missed the Cha Cha slide!!!" He screamed. "Ryan don't be such a drama king!" Sharpay snapped. A few slow songs would play and Troy and Gabriella would dance then some more fast songs. "Okay kids, this last song is for the homecoming King and Queen." The D.J. (let's call him Larry) announced. Far Away by Nickelback blared through the speakers. "May I have this dance?" Troy held out his hand to Gabriella. Gabriella giggled and placed her hand in his. "Yes you may." Troy placed his hands on her waist, while Gabriella lightly wrapped her arms around his neck.
This time, This place
Misused, Mistakes
Too long, Too late
Who was I to make you wait
Just one chance
Just one breath
Just in case there's just one left
'Cause you know,
you know, you know
Troy started to mouth the words to the song. Gabriella was lost in his electric blue eyes.
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me
and you'll never go
Stop breathing if
I don't see you anymore
"Alright now fellas this is your last chance to ask that special person to dance" Larry said softly. Some other couples started to dance.
On my knees, I'll ask
Last chance for one last dance
'Cause with you, I'd withstand
All of hell to hold your hand
I'd give it all
I'd give for us
Give anything but I won't give up
'Cause you know,
you know, you know
Troy wrapped his arms around Gabriella and pulled her close. While Gabriella closed her eyes rested her head on Troy's chest. He started to quietly sing in her ear.
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me
and you'll never go
Stop breathing if
I don't see you anymore
So far away
Been far away for far too long
So far away
Been far away for far too long
But you know, you know, you know
I wanted
I wanted you to stay
'Cause I needed
I need to hear you say
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I forgive you
For being away for far too long
So keep breathing
'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Believe it
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Believe it
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Troy looked down at Gabriella and kissed her. "Okay everybody it's 11:00 and I don't care where you go but you got to get the heck out of here." Larry yelled into the microphone. The gang walked out of the school and into the parking lot. "Okay so I am taking everybody to Ihop to tell you guys my big news." Ryan said. "I need to call me parents to tell them where we are going." Taylor said. The group nodded in agreement and everyone called their parents expect for Gabriella since she was staying at Troy's. "Okay so who's car are we taking?" Kelsi asked after everyone had hung up. "I think we can all fit in my escalade if we squeeze." Ryan led the group to his white Cadillac Escalade (see profile for pictures). They all climbed in with Ryan in the Driver's seat, Zeke sat in the passenger seat with Sharpay on his lap. Chad opened the backseat door and folded down one of the seats so that Jason and Kesli could sit in the back. While Troy sat behind Ryan with Gabriella on his lap. Leaving Taylor in between Troy and Chad. "Okay is everybody in?" Ryan started the car and pulled out of the parking lot.
"Hey Troy why was your Dad acting so weird before the dance?" Gabriella asked Troy. "Um..." Troy looked the other way. "Troy!" Gabriella said sternly. "I... uh... don't know." Troy stuttered. "Troy you tell me right now or else!" Garbriella narrowed her eyes at him.
"Or else what?" Everyone else in the car had stopped talking.
"I'll make you tell."
"Ohhh..." Everyone said at Gabriella's remark.
"Sure y..." Gabriella quickly placed her mouth over Troy's. Gradually make the kiss deeper and more passionate she slipped her tongue in his mouth. By now everyone was grossed out and lost interest. Troy moaned softly then pulled away. "Fine I kinda told my Dad how you are afraid of him." Troy said really fast. "TROY! How could you do that?" Gabriella yelled. Now everyone else in the car started paying attention to them again. "Baby I'm so sorry but he thought you were sick because of how pale and nervous you get around him." Troy said. Gabriella smiled, rolled her eyes then turned her head away from Troy. Troy turned her head back towards him. "Baby you're not really mad at me are you?" He asked. Gabriella giggled. "No." "Ryan will you please tell me the news!" Sharpay demanded. "No, you'll find out soon enough." Ryan said keeping his eyes on the road. "Zekey Ryan is being mean to me." Sharpay whined. "Oh I'm sorry my sweet when I get home I'll bake you some more cookies." Zeke said. Troy silently pretended to gag. Gabriella slapped his arm. "Okay guys we're here." Ryan pulled into the Ihop parking lot and parked the car. Troy and Gabriella were the first people out of the car. "Troy my feet hurt." Gabriella leaned against him. "Come here." Troy picked her up and placed her back down so that she was standing on top of his feet, then he wrapped his arms around her waist so she wouldn't fall. Gabriella laughed as Troy started walking like Frankenstein towards the building.
"Okay we have a group of nine." Ryan said to the hostess. "Right this way." The lady said bluntly. She led them to a bunch of tables that had been pushed together, one side of them had chairs and the other side was one long booth. Troy and Gabriella sat down on the booth side next to Chad and Taylor, and Jason and Kelsi. While Sharpay, Zeke and Ryan say across from them. The waitress came and took their drink orders. Since everyone already knew what they wanted she took their food orders too.
"So Ryan what is your big news?" Troy asked. "Okay, I sent a demo tape to Disney and they want me to sing a song for the Fox and the Hound 2 soundtrack!" "Wow Ryan that's great." Gabriella said. "Wait there's more, the recording studio is in Boston and All of you guys get to come with me! You should cover your ears now." "What why?" Gabriella asked. Sharpay screamed loud enough to break a glass. Troy quickly covered Gabriella's ears as well as his own. "Dang woman could you get any louder!" Chad yelled. Sharpay glared at him. "Where are we staying?" Taylor asked. "A place called the Tipton, I hear that it's like a five star hotel and it's all being paid for by Disney." "Cool, when do we leave?" Troy asked. "Three o'clock on Christmas day." Ryan said. "Man that sucks Jason and I can't go. I'm going to Paris with my Mom and Jason is going to L.A. to see his family." Kelsi pouted. "You'll have fun in Paris though." Gabriella said as the waitress brought their food orders to them.
