Disclaimer: I don't own anything but all the characters whose names start with A's. you'll meet two of them in this chapter btw.
Sorry it's taken me so long to update, I've been really busy. Here's chapter 4 though, this chapter is pretty long for me, so it's in a way a treat for all you guys that have been waiting for me to update!
"So, how was dinner the other night?" Amy asked over the phone. Chad had told her that Troy had dinner with Sharpay the other night.
"It was fun; we talked about the old days at East High, and ate dinner, why?" Sharpay said not getting what Amy was implying.
"Oh, no reason, Chad just told me that you guys had dinner together and I wanted to see how it went," she said with a knowing smile that Sharpay couldn't see.
"Okay, so, what's up?" Sharpay asked.
"Nothing much, do you have a show tonight?" Amy asked.
"Yeah, it's a big one too, there're going to be some really big critics there. I'm kind of nervous," Sharpay said.
"Oh well, Chad told me that Troy was also going to a show some time, would it be okay for all three of us to go tonight?" Amy said.
"Um, I guess so, it'd make me less nervous knowing that I had some friends in the audience," Sharpay said.
"Okay, is the show sold out or what?" Amy asked most of Sharpay's shows were always sold out, she was that famous.
"Actually, I think I could scrounge up a few tickets. As Galinda, I always get like 5 tickets if I have any family, but if I don't then they get sold. That's one of the perks of being me, just kidding, but yeah, I can get you guys three tickets," she said.
"That's cool, I'll tell Chad and Troy in a little bit. The two were just going to sit around and watch old basketball games tonight, I'm sure they won't mind going to your show instead and afterwards, let's go out and celebrate," she said. This made Sharpay laugh, she hoped that Amy could in fact get those two to go to her show instead of sitting around and watching their favorite thing ever.
"Good luck with that, aww, I believe that there's an ice cream parlor down the street! About the tickets though, do you want to come to me, or should I put them with will call?" Sharpay asked.
"Um, I'll pick them up from you, I want to see how gorgeous you look in your little costume and ice cream sounds good," Amy said laughing.
"Ha ha ha, sure just make sure you come between 6:15 and 6:45, that's our dinner break, and if you come after that, I have to leave the tickets with will call, the show starts at 7:30," Sharpay said.
"Okay, I've got to go and tell the boys. I'll talk to you later!" Amy said.
"I'll see you guys later then," Sharpay said and then hung up.
Sharpay spent the rest of the day getting ready for her show. At 3:30, she headed down to the theater to begin getting ready.
Meanwhile with Amy and the boys. . .
"Hey guys, what're you doing tonight?" Amy asked seeing the boys sitting on her couch in front of the TV.
"We're watching the game, why?" Chad asked knowing she probably had something for them to do.
"Well, Sharpay has a show tonight, so I thought maybe you guys might want to go see it," she said.
"That'd be cool," Troy said excited to see Wicked starring Sharpay.
"Dude, just because you're in love with Shar, doesn't mean I want to go see her show," Chad said knowing he was probably going to lose this argument.
"Come on Chad, I'll tape the game in my room, it'll be just like we're watching it live, but later," Troy said although, he was going to go see Sharpay's show whether Chad and Amy came or not.
"Fine, but if we miss even one second of the game, I'm not speaking to you ever again," Chad threatened.
"Okay, whatever. Amy, what time does the show begin?" Troy asked trying to not sound too anxious.
"At 7:30, but we have to go pick up the tickets from Sharpay and she said to pick them up from her sometime between 6:15 and 6:45. So, whoever gets ready first has to go pick them up," she said.
"I'll go pick them up, I'll probably get ready faster than you guys anyways. It's only 5 right now; I'll have to leave in like 45 minutes. I'll go start getting ready in a little bit anyways," Troy said now excited that he got to go see Sharpay in her show.
"Gosh, somebody is quite anxious," Chad said with a knowing grin.
"And who might that be?" Amy asked smiling. She knew what Chad was getting at.
"Huh?" Troy asked lost.
"Don't try to hide it from me, Troy. I've known you since kindergarten, and I can see that you're already in love with Shar. You are too obvious man," Chad said shaking his head.
"I don't know what you're talking about," Troy said, he wasn't in love with Sharpay, or was he?
"Aww, look Amy, little Troy is in denial," Chad said in a babyish voice.
Amy started laughing and then headed upstairs to go get ready.
"I don't need this, I'll meet you guys there," Troy said and headed for the stairs to go to his room.
"Okay, but you think about what I said mister," Chad said still getting a kick out of this.
"Shut up," Troy said and then walked up the stairs. He didn't want to face it, but he was in love with Sharpay. The only thing that scared him now though, was that Sharpay wouldn't feel the same.
Troy headed to his room. What was Chad thinking? I'm not in love with Sharpay. She's just becoming one of my best friends again. That boy is crazy. Does he even know what he's talking about anymore? I swear, he has no idea what he's talking about. Sure, I like spending time with Sharpay now, but that doesn't mean that I'm in love with her. I like spending time with Chad and I can assure everybody that asks that I'm not in love with that bushy-haired kid. Troy thought all this while getting ready for the show. He wanted to get there right at 6:15 so he might get to spend time with Sharpay before the show, and maybe they could even go out for ice cream or something afterwards.
"Hey guys, I'm going to head out and pick up the tickets from Sharpay, call me when you guys get there, okay?" Troy asked as he was ready to head out and head to the theatre.
"Okay, we'll meet you there somewhere between 45 and 60 minutes," Chad said knowing that Amy took a long time to get ready.
"Kay, see you guys," Troy said and walked out the door. He had on a light blue dress shirt, and a pair of khakis, hoping to impress Sharpay.
Troy drove all to the theatre. He looked at his watch and noticed that it was 6:10. He figured he'd go park his car and then go get the tickets. He looked at his watch again, it was 6:20, perfect.
Then, he pulled out his cell phone and dialed Sharpay's number.
"Hello?" Sharpay answered.
"Hey, Shar, it's Troy," he replied.
"Hey Troy what's up?"
"Nothing, I need to pick up the tickets though, Amy said that you had them?" Troy said in a questioning manner.
"Yeah, come to the side door. We're having dinner at the moment, so I'll meet you there," she said.
"Okay, don't get off the phone though, in case I get lost," Troy told her.
"Whatever, you're hopeless, are you there yet?"
"Yeah, now what?"
"One sec, go ahead and hang up the phone," she said and then opened up the door.
"Hey Troy," Sharpay said poking her head out the door.
"Hey Shar," he replied.
"Um, I have the tickets in my dressing room, so if you want to come in and get them real fast," she said not wanting the paparazzi to see her.
"Cool," he said walking in the door.
"So, follow me, and a lot of people are in my dressing room eating dinner, so be careful of that," she warned him.
"No sweat," he replied wondering how big her dressing room actually was.
"Kay, right through this door," she said opening up a door.
"Hey Sharpay, where'd you go," a girl asked her as soon as she opened the door.
"I had to go get my friend here. Everybody, this is Troy Bolton," Sharpay said introducing him.
"Hey everybody," Troy said kind of shy now, he didn't expect there to be like fifteen people in Sharpay's dressing room.
" Troy would you like to join us while we eat dinner, I mean I know Amy and Chad will probably take awhile," Sharpay invited.
"Sure, that'd be cool, but are you sure it's okay that I'm in here?" Troy asked.
"Yeah, as long as you're not distracting us, and it's only dinner time, so whatever," Sharpay replied.
"Okay, so is this what happens every time before a show?" Troy asked. The theatre still amazed him, but he liked basketball even more.
"Yeah pretty much. Hi, my name is Aaron Phillips, I play Fiyero," Aaron said.
"Hey, so how often do you guys have shows?" Troy asked.
"So this is the guy you wouldn't shut up about," Alexa, the girl who played Elphaba, whispered to Sharpay while Troy and Aaron began talking.
"Shut up, he might hear you, but yeah, this is him," Sharpay whispered back.
"He's really cute. So is he like your boyfriend, or what?" Alexa asked. She and Sharpay were really good friends.
"We're just friends, there's nothing going on between us," Sharpay stated.
"Sure, there may not be anything going on now, but what about later? I'm sure something is going to happen between you two sooner or later, I can sense it," Alexa said with a smirk.
"Whatever, sometimes, I don't even see why we're friends," Sharpay joked.
"Aww, you know you love me," Alexa said and laughed.
"Sharpay?" Aaron asked.
"Yeah, Aaron," Sharpay answered.
"I was wondering if you'd like to go do something after the show," Aaron asked.
"I'd love to, but I've got friends coming tonight, and I can't ditch them," Sharpay said. She wanted to go out with Aaron, who wouldn't, he was a famous hot actor and one of her good friends, but she couldn't leave her friends.
"Okay, maybe some other time," Aaron said smiling. He was trying to cover his hurt. He was really looking forward to Sharpay going out with him. One rejection wouldn't stop him though.
Troy who had heard all this was dancing on the inside. He didn't know why though he definitely wasn't in love with Sharpay, or was he?
"Sure, I'd love that," Sharpay said smiling. Sure she liked Troy, but she didn't think that she'd have a chance with him. Aaron was really sweet, and a good friend, she knew that they'd have a pretty good time if they went out.
"Sharpay, you can go ahead and go if you'd like," Troy said even though he really didn't want her to.
"That's alright Troy, this may be the only night you guys come to one of my shows, and what kind of friend would I be if you guys came to my show, and I didn't even hang out with you guys afterwards?" Sharpay asked.
"Okay, but are you sure that you don't want to go with Aaron?" Troy asked trying to be the good guy. He didn't think he had much of a chance with Sharpay now.
"Yes, now drop it. I'm going to go out with you guys for ice cream whether you guys want me or now," Sharpay said laughing.
Troy smiled because he got to hang out with Sharpay after the show now, this would be a good chance to try to get Sharpay to fall for him.
He spent the next 20 minutes with the cast before he got a call from Chad and Amy saying that they were outside. Troy said goodbye and good luck to Sharpay and all the other actors and headed outside to meet Chad and Amy. The doors had already opened, and people were heading inside to the lobby area.
"Hey guys," Troy said seeing Chad and Amy waiting for him.
"Hey Troy, where've you been?" Chad asked him.
"I've been backstage with Sharpay and the rest of the cast. They're finishing getting ready for the show now though," Troy said.
"Oh," Amy said smiling.
"Um, so let's go in," Troy said walking towards the door.
During the show, Troy saw Chad put his arm around Amy and Amy put her head on Chad's shoulder. He hoped that one day soon, that would be him and Sharpay. He really liked her, now if only she'd like him back.
The show went excellently. Sharpay forgot about the critic in the audience and did one of her best performances yet.
"Sharpay you were excellent," Aaron said before the curtain call.
"Thanks you were really good too, both you and Alexa were," Sharpay said with a big smile on her face.
"Yeah, this show was by far our best ever, I mean, your acting was extraordinary today," Aaron said.
"Guys stop your flirting, Sharpay get over there," Karla the stage manager said.
"See you later," Sharpay said and ran to the other side of the stage.
"And now, Sharpay Evans as Galinda," the announcer said while Sharpay ran on stage to bow.
The announcer called the rest of the actors. It was safe to say though, that Sharpay and Alexa got the most applause. They were the two leading ladies of the show, and they were young and hot, almost half of the audience was male and there to see those two.
"Sharpay, you were amazing!" Troy said as she met them after the show.
"Thanks, we've all decided that this was one of our best shows by far, which is good since we had that critic out there tonight," Sharpay said.
"I am so proud to call you my best friend," Amy said ecstatic.
"Aww," Sharpay said as she leaned in for a hug.
"Okay, I guess that I'll say that on a scale of 1 to 10, this was a 10 when basketball is normally an 11," Chad said.
" Chad, do you always compare everything to basketball?" Sharpay said lightly punching Chad on the shoulder.
"Hey, it's my thing, now go get changed and let's go get that ice cream," Chad said licking his lips.
"Okay, I guess I'll go change to please Chad," Sharpay said jokingly.
"Thank you, now go," Chad said giving her a slight push towards the door to go back stage.
"I'll be back in a few," Sharpay said heading back stage.
Sharpay went back stage to her dressing room to change. She went back out to meet the others 15 minutes later.
"Kay, ready," Sharpay said back in her normal clothes. She had wiped most of her stage make up off, but still had enough to look pretty.
The four headed to the ice cream parlor down the street to get ice cream. The whole time, Troy and Amy were complimenting her on the performance. Chad walked along thinking about how good the ice cream was going to be, he only got to go to this place everyonce in awhile, and it was the best place ever in his book. The evening was filled with talking about the performance, ice cream, and whatever else came to mind.
So, thanks for reading! I hope you guys all liked it. Don't forget to review!
