"Hey, Mom," Faith greeted her mother and Gabriella set a big cup of coffee in front of her eldest daughter.

"What time did you guys reach home yesterday?" she asked Faith. She got a shrug in return.

"Well, it must have been pretty late considering you just got up and it's 12 noon," Gabriella said. Faith's eyes widened.

"Oh no! I'm supposed to be at the mall with Mikayla!" she said, dramatically waving her hands in the air. Gabriella laughed at her daughter's reaction.

"Relax, honey. She's not up yet," Gabriella told her daughter. Faith heaved a sigh of relief. Gabriella looked at her watch.

"3… 2… 1… Good morning, Mikayla," Gabriella greeted her 'niece' as Mikayla entered the kitchen, still rubbing her eyes.

"Morning, Aunt Gabby. Hey, Faith," she greeted her 'aunt' and best friend and toasted bread for herself. Gabriella smiled at Mikayla and Faith waved.

"So, where are the rest?" Faith asked as she waited for her toast.

"Well, Kelsi, Paris, Brad and McKenzie are at the restaurant. Jason's still in bed and Zeke should be here in 3… 2… 1..."

"Good morning, girls," Zeke greeted them. He kissed Mikayla on her cheek, waved at Gabriella and ruffled Faith's her hair. She slapped his hand, trying to look annoyed, but amusement was clear in her eyes. Actually, it was clear in all their eyes.

"Stop that! It's messy enough already, Uncle Zeke!" she scolded her 'uncle' while Gabriella and Mikayla laughed. Zeke chuckled.

"So, what are you girls gonna do today?" he asked them. Gabriella shrugged.

"We're going to the mall to get Uncle Jason's birthday present," Mikayla told her father.

"But his birthday's 3 months from now!" Zeke told them. Faith and Mikayla rolled their eyes and Gabriella could not help but remember her friendship with Amanda. The two of them had been close, just like Faith and Mikayla were.

"Exactly, Dad! We're gonna browse through the mall so we can see what we can get him and then start saving. Or, you could give me your credit card and we can study today instead of spending it at the mall," Mikayla smiled innocently at her father. Zeke rolled his eyes.

"Go knock yourselves out at the mall," he said. Gabriella and Faith chuckled.

"You guys got any idea of what to get him?" Zeke asked.

"Well, we were thinking of getting him a– "

"Shh! 3…2…1… Good morning, Jason," Gabriella greeted her 'elder brother'. Jason gave her a hug and sat down as he took Mikayla's toast away from her.

"Okay, Gabby. I know I ask you this every morning, but, how do you do that?" Zeke asked, still gaping at Gabriella's accurateness. Gabriella shrugged while Jason looked confused.

"Do what?" he asked. Everyone around the table rolled their eyes and shook their heads. Even after all this while, Jason was always the clueless one.

"Anyway, Gabriella, are you free today?" Jason asked as he poured himself a glass of orange juice.

"Yeah, why?" Gabriella asked.

"We need help with the accounts," Jason said and Gabriella nodded.

"Well, I guess I'll meet you guys there since I'm already ready. Be good," she said as she kissed Faith and Mikayla's forehead and hugged Zeke and Jason.

"Bye," they chorused.

A few minutes later, after they had all had breakfast, they decided to watch some TV before going to work or the mall. They had barely spent time together over the past week and they were now making up for lost time. Suddenly, the phone rang and Zeke answered it.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Zeke! How's it going in New York?" he heard Taylor McKessie Danforth's lively voice say from the other end of the line. Zeke chuckled.

"Taylor! How are you? How are Chad and your sons?" he asked.

"They're good. Sorry to disturb you, but I was just bored."

"Aww… that's okay, Tay. You know you're welcome to call any time."

"Hey! Stop flirting with my wife!" Zeke heard the teasing voice of Chad Danforth and chuckled.

"OW! After all these years, I cannot believe you still keep hitting my head, Taylor!" Zeke heard Chad say and burst out laughing. Jason knew who was on the phone and told him to put the phone on speaker and motioned for Faith and Mikayla to listen to the conversation.

Faith knew what was going on but poor Mikayla did not and looked at her father, uncle and best friend in confusion.

"So, Chad. How's Troy and Andrea?" Jason asked.

"Jason, my man! They're great and Andrea just turned sixteen. And umm, speaking of her, she's here. She knows about Troy and Gabriella. Amanda told her," Chad told them. Zeke, Jason and Faith looked confused. Well, Mikayla was still confused too.

"Huh? But how-"

"The letter! Isn't this years' letter the sixteenth and final one?" Zeke asked.

"You got that right!" they heard an unfamiliar voice say. Zeke and Jason looked at each other. Could it be Andrea?

"Hi! I'm Andrea. You know Amanda and Troy's daughter?" she asked, nervously.

"Andrea?" Zeke whispered softly.

"Hi, Andrea! This is Faith Montez! I've heard so much about you and Troy," Faith said.

Back in Albuquerque…

"Faith? Are you related to Gabriella Montez?" Andrea asked.

"Yeah, I'm her daughter. Listen, Andy. Do you mind if I call you that?" Faith asked nervously. Andrea could tell by now that she was no longer on speaker and she turned off the speaker and held the phone to her ear. She saw Taylor nudge Chad and both of them left the room. Unknown to her, the same was being done in New York.

"Yeah, I don't mind," Andrea said, her heart beating fast.

"Has Chad and Taylor told you everything about my mom? You know, her life in New York and well, basically everything they've heard from Zeke and Jason over the past years?" Faith asked. Andrea burst out laughing at the memory of how she had made Chad and Taylor tell her about Gabriella Montez.

"What's so funny?" Faith asked. Andrea stifled her laughter.

"Oh, nothing… I'm just remembering how I got Chad and Taylor to tell me about Gabriella…"

A few hours before…

"Andrea Kelsi Bolton! Let us go! NOW!" Taylor screamed as kicked her legs. After she and Chad had come back from grocery shopping, they were knocked out. The next thing they knew was that they were being tied to the dining room chairs.

"Clay Jason Danforth! You are so grounded!" Chad shouted. Andrea burst out laughing while Clay glared at her.

"Sorry that's not gonna work, Chad. I threatened him with something worse," she told her father's best friend. Chad and Taylor scowled.

"Bring in the stuff, Clay," Andrea ordered her best friend. Clay handed her some snacks and Andrea places 3 burgers, 5 bags of chips and a glass of beer in front of Chad.

"You know you want them, Chad!" she told him.

"Alright! Alright! You win! I know where she is!" he blurted out. As soon as he said that, Taylor groaned and Andrea smirked. Clay looked at his best friend, clearly impressed.

"Wow, I should try this sometime," he said and he and Andrea burst out laughing but stopped when they saw Chad and Taylor's glare. Boy, if looks could kill, the two of them would be dead by now.

"You tied them to a chair?" Faith asked as she laughed. She was having fun, talking to Andrea.

"Yeah. It pays off to spend time with Sharpay once in a while," Andrea said. She liked talking to Faith. It was like they had a bond, even though they'd only known each other for 15 minutes.

"Listen, Faith. I'm sorry about your father. Chad and Taylor told me that he died of leukemia," Andrea said. Faith felt tears in her eyes as she remembered Preston.

"Yeah. I miss him sometimes. He may not be my biological father, but he treated me like his own," she said as she felt Mikayla squeeze her hand.

"Yeah, I know how you feel. I miss my mom so much," Andrea said as tears gathered in her eyes.

"Mom's never been able to love ever since. That's why I don't even know why she's getting married to Blake," Faith said.

"Yeah, I heard about that and well…"

"Well what?"

"I was wondering… How would you feel if your mom married my dad?" Andrea asked casually as if it were no big deal. She heard Faith gasp.

"That would be AWESOME! I mean, they were best friends. And according to Zeke and Jason, they were inseparable. And I'd rather my mom spend a happy life with him then a lonely life with Blake," Faith said.

"Lonely life? How is a married life a lonely life?" Andrea asked.

"Well, Blake's always out of town. I mean, he was sweet, at first. He would always have the time for Mom. But after they got engaged, he's always not here," Faith explained. She heard Andrea sigh at the end of the line.

"Anyway, Andrea? How come you suddenly wanna get them together?" Faith asked. Andrea clutched the phone tighter and told Faith all about her mothers' last letter.

"Well, how are we going to get them to meet?" Faith asked. Andrea took a deep breath.

"I have no idea," she said.

"Well, how about we get them to meet us at a summer camp?" Faith asked.

"Where?"

"Well, there's this place called Lake Wifilda in Albuquerque, right?" Faith asked.

"Yea…"

"Well, don't they have a summer camp there?"

"Well, yeah. They do."

"So, I was thinking…"
