After the long day, everyone was dead tired once they returned to their suite. Besides all the silly things that had happened to them during the escapade in Magic Kingdom, they got a lot out of it. Kelsi received autographs from a great deal of characters, Chad had bragging rights over how he beat Troy's score in Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin, Ryan now carried a giant sack load of Disney hats, and Sharpay… received a nasty sunburn on her back.
Taylor was unpacking her things from the day's events when she noticed the terrible odor of Chad pulling his shoes and socks off. "Ick! Chad, your feet stink like there's no tomorrow!" squealed a disgusted Taylor. "Oh really…" Chad began in a characteristically mischievously way, he then stuck his gross feet in her face. Taylor began to shriek as he tried to make her smell his toes. "C'mon 'Learning Curve' McKessie, smell my feet and, being the brainiac you are, determine how tired they are by the awesome stench! HAHAHA!!!" "CHAD! KNOCK IT OFF!!!" yelled Troy from across the room. "Imagine that, the day my life is saved by a jock. Ha!" said Taylor all relieved as Chad lowly obeyed the order of his team captain and best friend.
"I'm guessing we're all a little exhausted after today, wouldn't you say, Gabriella?" asked Troy while he pulled Chad by his ear. "Yeah, you can say that again" Gabriella agreed as she comforted Taylor. "Too bad it was only for today." Kelsi began to giggle a little after that last line. "Hey Kelsi, what's the matter?" asked Troy. "Are you telling us you've been hiding something??" snapped Sharpay. "For once, you're right Sharpay" Kelsi giggled more. "What is it you little…" Sharpay yowled as she headed towards the little tunesmith, but then she stopped in searing pain as she was being refrained when Ryan and Zeke grabbed her back. "Sorry Sharpay" gasped Zeke, "here, have a 'Sharpay Snack'!" The burning 'Ice Queen' quickly grabbed the 'Sharpay Snack' Zeke had in the palm of his hand. "More" she moaned, and yanked the newly placed snack. "More!" she moaned louder and louder, and continued to clean Zeke's hands once he handled a new snack. "I see where this is going, and I'm keeping my mouth shut!" Ryan said sporting a Mickey hat. "Same here" Taylor and Chad agreed… for once.
"Anyway…" Troy began. "What's your little secret?" "The tickets" Kelsi began, "they're PARK-HOPPERS!" "No kidding?" cried a happy Gabriella. "Yep, that way we can visit all the parks…" Kelsi then went up to Sharpay, who had frosting and cream all over her mouth "… even Epcot!" Sharpay suddenly felt relieved and, for once in her life, hugged Kelsi. "This would be a little bit better if I didn't have sunburn like Sharpay" thought an uncomfortable Kelsi.
So for the next couple of days, the East High crew was living the Disney life as they visited the next 3 parks. Sharpay FINALLY had the chance to try on a kimono at Epcot, and ended up buying it. Taylor and Martha went to Animal Kingdom and rode Expedition: Everest. Troy and Chad dragged Ryan to MGM so they could ride the Rock-&-Roller Coaster, which turned out to be in maintenance that day, not to mention they saw something there called the "High School Musical Pep Rally", which was a little parade show that seemed WAY too familiar to them. "Is anyone here experiencing deja vu?" asked a confused Troy. "Why do I feel like my privacy was invaded?" added a nervous Ryan. "Is there really a God?" questioned a Chad that had lost all sense of reality. Meanwhile, as Sharpay was extending her ensemble with kimonos and the boys were questioning their exsistance, Zeke and Mrs. Cox took a break from the Disney thrills and stopped at Disney Institute and learned a few new tricks to the cooking trade.
By the time the vacation was over, the gang was completely wiped out. Kelsi had enough autographs to fill two books; Ryan had more Disney hats than he had normal hats at home, and, to Taylor's dismay, Chad's feet smelled even worse by week's end. Besides all that, everyone came back to school happy and pleased… except for Sharpay, who gained over 50 pounds during the vacation. Ryan wasn't surprised. "Can you say 'TOO MANY SHARPAY SNACKS'??" The next 2 months had Zeke making 'Sharpay Salads' and Sharpay having to spend her days in the school gym rather than the auditorium, but that's a whole different story!
THE END
