Disclaimer: I do not own High School Musical, just my plotline.

Gabriella after listening to Elaine, decided to talk to Taylor. However, she did not actually try to talk to her, she waited for her in the science lab. She had a feeling she would come and talk to her about this. As if by magic, Taylor appeared, and she said to Gabriella, "Gabriella, there's something we need to talk to you about. It concerns Troy and the callbacks, it's something we need to tell you."

"Look, I don't want to talk about it. I've heard what he had to say. I'm on your team now. Done. And look, it doesn't really matter. We should start preparing for the Decathlon competition," she said, exasperated. She knew they had planned it, but she wanted to hear it from Troy himself. She saw Taylor sigh.

"No, not done. Look, the decathlon is, whatever, but the callbacks and, even more, how you feel about Troy and us, that's what really matters," Taylor said, "We knew Chad could get Troy to say some things to make you want to forget about the callbacks, and we planned and we're embarrassed and sorry." She could sense she liked Chad, because there were probably other basketball players involved.

"No one forced Troy to say those things. We should prepare for the Decathlon now," Gabriella said. She heard Taylor sigh, and she knew what she was trying to do. She was trying to get her back with Troy Bolton, and Gabriella knew Troy had been playing pretty badly without her speaking to him. Gabriella wondered if he actually liked her, and she wondered why he didn't stand up for her if he did. She noticed Taylor shrug to everyone.

"I tried," she said before walking out with everyone else. Elaine, after Taylor walked out, regained visibility. She held back laughter and decided to scare Gabriella. However she was uncertain if she could have seen her already, because she knew she lost her eyes behind her back a long time ago. Elaine loved her invisibility though.

"Hey, how'd it hold up," said Elaine, hoping Gabriella didn't notice her before. She hadn't, because she jumped and gasped. She was breathing heavily. Elaine burst into laughter at her face. "Oh, if you had seen your face right then, you'd be laughing too. You should have remembered our invisibility powers, otherwise, how would we have found out about Ethan Dalloway, my real name is Marnie Piper, and Halloweentown," she said.

Gabriella said, "Good point, but don't ever do that to me again! You completely freaked me out! How long have you been using your invisibility powers?" Elaine thought for a moment, and decided to tell her the truth.

"I never really stopped using them. They were too much fun to use, and I loved freaking out my brother, even though he's a warlock. Remember Dylan? Oh my gosh, he freaked," she said. He also didn't like the idea of magic, she remembered. She guessed he was used to it now.

Gabriella rolled her eyes. "OK, so we know Troy's going to apologize, right? That's why I didn't want them to know I believed them, I wanted to hear it from Troy himself," Gabriella said to Elaine. She sat down in front of the window with her legs crossed, and like she was just an innocent schoolgirl who couldn't do magic or anything, a trademark pose for her. She rolled her eyes. She decided to tell her something else.

"Yes, I think he will apologize. But you really should know he'll also call you. Let's do another Tarot reading, just to check on this, okay Gabs?" Elaine consulted her. She pulled her Tarot cards out of her deck, magically shuffled it five times, and laid them out in a Celtic Cross layout.

"Interpretation reveals subconscious thoughts that leads to truth arrival, along with a new love born, with hopes of a successful future. Death represents a new, fresh start, which means you will be back on good terms in fresh way, and the Lovers card shows a bright future," said Elaine after carefully interpreting the cards that she laid out for Gabriella's future with Troy. Gabriella sighed with relief.

"Thank goodness, I was so worried that the future that I saw was false, overshadowed by feelings," said Gabriella. She knew that she had been using her future telling powers way too long, and her feelings were entwining and compromising the truthfulness of it. She looked at Elaine, who had always disapproved of using the future power too long, and she probably had started Tarot readings at the appropriate schedule, because Tarots where the ones whose magic had been trusted forever.

Elaine said, "Well, on occasion, I've used it too. However, never for anything as big as a relationship, in which you should really use the Tarots. However, your cards said that your subconscious has reached optimal level and should be trusted." Elaine wondered where it came from. Gabriella looked at her, and decided to read her cards for her.

"Let me read yours," said Gabriella. She shuffled it by magic, and read Elaine's. She was wide-eyed. "Lovers, a well made decision. Wheel of Fortune Reversed, a dark future is turning. Devil, fear in the future and subconscious. Hanged Man, sacrifices must be made. Chariot, a harmonious life ahead. Empress, a creative wealth of ideas. The Fool Reversed, in the known again. The Sun, unconscious powers brought forward. The Ace of Cups, you are in love. You have made a well made love choice, yet a dark future is set, while you have a harmonious love life. However, the Devil holds you back from making the sacrifices needed in a well known goal. However, in the end, your unconscious powers set the future," Gabriella said.

Elaine said, "Oh dear Lord. I can't believe this. If these speak the truth, then it must be unfolded into a different setting. You can always change the future. Let's wait until after the callbacks to consult back to them."

Gabriella was heading home, thinking over all the things that her and Elaine went over in the Tarots. She can't be in danger, if she was I would know it. I know she likes Ethan, but we haven't seen him in forever. When is he going to show up? I know he's supposed to show sometime in my future., thought Gabriella. She suddenly had a vision, but she was kind of shocked too, so she stopped walking.

VISION

Gabriella was standing right next to Elaine, both of them frightened. Gabriella heard footsteps, and she looked at Elaine. She telepathically said to Elaine, "We should run now. I hear him coming." Elaine nodded, and had gasped in her thoughts, and Gabriella heard her say to her, "SUSAN! We need to find her!" "Where would she be," she shot back. Elaine shrugged as the ran.

END VISION

Gabriella gasped. She ran home and up the stairs, telepathically saying to Mom, Mimi, I'm home. I'll be in my room if you need me! She heard her mother in her thoughts say, Okay, sweetie, let me know if you need me. Gabriella said back, Okay! She raced to her room, she prepped for Troy and waited. She heard him knock, and she said to her mother, Get that for me!

Mrs. Montez went to the door, and she could tell it was a boy on the other side. She heard in his thoughts his name was Troy Bolton, he liked Gabriella, and worries about something with basketball and Gabriella and some sort of callback, so Mrs. Montez already liked him. She opened the door with a smile. "Hey, uh, Mrs. Montez, I'm Troy Bolton, and I wanted to know if I could, uh, talk to Gabriella?" He sounded nervous. She decided to see if she could ease him up.

"Oh, Troy," she said, like Gabriella talked about him all the time. Mom! she heard Gabriella say to her telepathically. Just tell him I'm busy with homework. OK? Because this is really important that he thinks I don't want to talk to him. I don't want to mess this up. Gabriella talks fast, Mrs. Montez thought. "She's really busy with homework and such, so now's not really a good time," she said with a secret smile. Great. She doesn't want to talk to me. I guess I should bid her goodnight, thought Troy.

"Well, goodnight then, Mrs. Montez," he said, a little sadly. Yes! Perfect act Mom! Gabriella told her Mom.

"Goodnight, Troy," she said as she shut the door. GABRIELLA! What was that all about? You really hurt his feelings! Mrs. Montez scolded her daughter. Shut it mom. You don't know what I saw, said Gabriella as she raced up the stairwell. She opened her book and pretended to read while awaiting Troy's call.

I'm going to call her and try to apologize that way. Wait, she has a balcony. Maybe I can climb up to it. After all, I do exercise regularly, so maybe it's possible, thought Troy as he called Gabriella. He saw Gabriella up in her room holding her phone, and he started to climb up. Hello? came from the other end. "Hey, it's Troy, I just want you to know that I was sick of my friends riding me and so I said some things I knew would shut them up. I didn't mean any of it," he said quickly. You sounded pretty convincing to me, said Gabriella. "I didn't mean it," he said. Troy, it's like you said. The whole school is whacked because of your audition, said Gabriella. "I know. And I don't care what they think. Because I don't know about you, but I'm going to sing," he said. Troy, I don't think I want to do the audition, she said. God, she looks so beautiful, he thought. "Well, you better. Because… I brought you something," he said, figuring out something. What do you mean?

I wonder what he could have brought. Calm down Gabi, thought Gabriella. "Turn around," he said. She turned, and saw him outside. Why didn't I notice him before, she thought to herself. He started singing. Their old song. She smiled. When he finished, he said, "It's the pairs audition." She smiled at how far he was willing to go to win her back and decided he deserved her alright. She walked out onto the balcony, and he smiled at her. She heard what he was thinking, I wish I could just kiss her right now. If only I knew if she felt the same way. She's just so perfect. Gabriella decided to grant his wish, only this one didn't need magic. She stood on her tippy-toes, leaned upward, and kissed him on the lips romantically. Gabriella suddenly felt her heart pattering so fast, and it skipped a beat, and fireworks suddenly started, and she felt a blaze of passion. Troy was surprised at first, but went into the kiss as well. Gabriella deepened it into a passionate French kiss, and Troy gave into it.

Troy's heart skipped a beat as well, and Gabriella felt lighting tingling down her body from his touch, and she threw her arms around his neck. She could tell she need air now, so she pulled away for a breath. She panted and smiled. Troy thought, How did she know I wanted to kiss her?!? Oh well, must be some sort of real connection between us. I wonder. She smiled secretively, and that jogged Troy's thoughts. What is she hiding? I guess I might find out later, since she probably will tell me later. Oh, I guess I should ask her to be my girlfriend, he thought.

Gabriella said, "Don't say anything. Let me guess. You want me to be your girlfriend." Troy stared at her, and was wondering how she knew exactly what he was going to ask her, but he always loved a good mystery thrill. He just pulled her close and looked into her eyes.

"Exactly," he said with a smile. "And with that, will you take this class ring as proof you're my girlfriend," he said. She allowed him to slide it onto her finger, and she loved this. It's a good thing that he likes mysteries, otherwise Gabriella would have to explain about her powers to him. She wasn't ready to let him knew that she could communicate with him telepathically, because then he would know she could read his thoughts. That was her special power that only she had, because they all could read Tarots, see the future, become invisible, use the power of three, enter Halloweentown, brew potions, and change the weather. Susan can see behind her as well as stop time. Elaine could bend reality into her palm just by using the power of viewing the future. She also could guess what was on your mind without having to read it. Gabriella didn't know her extra power.

Elaine was waiting for her crystal ball to float towards her. She kept her eye on it, repeating in her head, Float with the power of the chant. Come towards me and help me. It started towards her, and she grasped it, and placed it in its place. She glanced into it. The fog started to swirl with colors.

The fog showed Ryan revealing some other form. It then swirled into a change with her and Gabriella running away from something. Then it swirled into Susan's form. Elaine gasped, and commanded the crystal ball, "Stop!" Then she asked it, "What does Susan have to do with anything?" The fog swirled again, and it showed Susan talking to Elaine and Gabriella, all of them surprised. The fog swirled to show Susan accidentally locking the locket together. She looked scared as the figure came out. She started to run, but the figure grabbed her. "That's all, you can go back to your original position," Elaine said to it.

The crystal became clear again and left the spot she had placed it in, and landed in her spot for the magic supplies. "Cabinet door, shut," Elaine said clearly. It snapped shut. She had her clothes shown to her and she picked out her usual cheerleader sweats, clearing them from the mishap at school today. She smiled and went to bed, not knowing what else the future had in store for them.

Ryan walked down the street hoping he could speak to Elaine before school begun. He then thought, Wait, I could telepathically speak to her. ELAINE! Can you hear me!

A long distance from where Ryan was, Elaine awoke from her dream state. Yes, I can hear you Ryan. Wait, you can talk to me telepathically, just like Ethan. Are you Ethan Dalloway? Elaine said to Ryan in her thoughts. She heard him sigh. Yes, I am Ethan Dalloway. You must be Marnie, like I thought. And Ella, just so you know, Sharpay had me go through this plan to change the callbacks to the same time as the championships and the Scholastic Decathlon. It's hard to explain though, he said. She sighed and said, Shit, Ryan, what the hell where you thinking? We need to come up with a plan. Wait, the Tarots! Of course! Successful future, she's going to get the part! Ryan decided to tell her what he actually thought. Good. I'm so sick of Sharpay drilling me to get everything perfect. Just like her nickname, the 'Ice Princess', he told her, and he head her melody-like laugh. He smiled as he heard it.

She sighed dreamily. Well, I need to get some sleep, Ethan, so I should get going. Do you, uh, well, want my cell phone number? So that way we can call each other instead of interrupting our thoughts, unless absolutely necessary? she asked him. Uh, sure, let me get my cell phone to put in the number. OK, give it to me, came his reply. She smiled as she told him, and they exchanged phone numbers. She knew not to call if Sharpay would know.
