In the Cabin

Disclaimer – Okay, so it turns out it was just a fire truck, and I ran all that way for nothing. I've met up with this bloke called Pablo, and he plays the guitar 'on the road'. Fancy way of saying that he's a bum, if you ask me. We're heading north, towards the Trafford Centre where we can rest up for the night, and hide from the Zombies. Pablo keeps trying to steal my packet of cake mix… Bastard.

"-can't remember the last time it rained this hard in Albuquerque…" Troy heard Taylor say, as he entered the living room. Having been the last to take a shower, everyone else was in there already, Chad sat in an armchair by the now lit fireplace, with Taylor sat on his lap, and Gabriella sat on the couch, although she promptly grabbed Troy's hand, and yanked him down next to her with a smile.

"Hello…" He said, raising an eyebrow slightly, before laughing softly, as she stuck her tongue out at him. Troy returned the gesture, only to have Gabriella to laugh at him, and hit his arm playfully.

"Guh, and now we have to sit here and watch Troy and Gabriella make kissy face." Chad commented, rolling his eyes at them, before turning his attention to the fire.

"Hey, we had to go through it when you and Taylor started going out." Troy commented, smirking at Chad, who rolled his eyes, and glanced about briefly.

"Hey, who's up for a Guitar Hero tourney?" Chad asked, knowing that the majority would be up for it.

"We haven't had one of those for ages.." Taylor commented, nodding along with the others.

"And I think I won, last time." Gabriella boasted, as Chad went off to retrieve the game.

"Yeah, but I was the one that got closest to beating Bark at the Moon on expert." Troy added smugly, nodding to himself.

Taylor rolled her eyes, before turning on the TV, and flicking the switch on the back of the Playstation.

The game was over after an hour or two, Chad narrowly snatching the victory from Gabriella, surprising everyone when he finished Bark at the Moon on Expert, with 92 accuracy, to boot.

"Someone's been practicing.." Troy commented, impressed.

"Hehe, yeah." Chad said with a grin, turning off the TV, and sitting down on the couch, next to Troy. Taylor yawned, as she checked her watch.

"11:30.." She said, her mouth gaping slightly, before suddenly placing her hand on her stomach. "No wonder I'm hungry." She said, walking towards the small kitchen area, attached to the living room, before she began searching the cupboards.

"There's only cereal, I'm afraid. We can go shopping tomorrow, my uncle left some money." Chad said, as he watched her.

"I'm not really hungry, I think I'm just gonna go to bed." Gabriella announced, slowly standing. "Where'm'I sleeping?" She asked Chad.

"In with Taylor, here, I'll show you." He said, before disappearing off down the hall, Gabriella in tow.

A loud clap of thunder boomed overhead, and Gabriella padded tentatively towards the living room, the sound mostly covered by the loud rain assaulting the wooden roof of the cabin. She was wearing a a baby blue tee that was about three sizes too big for her, and a pair of boys boxer shorts, that were about two sizes too small. She headed into the kitchen, getting herself a glass of water. She almost dropped the glass, when there was another loud thunderclap from above.

She exhaled deeply, placing a hand on her chest, before glancing about the room briefly. During the day, she was fine with thunder, but during the night, when there was no one else awake...

"Killer legs." Someone from behind her said suddenly, making her jump once again. She sighed deeply, before smiling at Troy, rolling her eyes, as her cheeks tinged pink, hardly visible in the dark.

"Why thank you." She said, as she faced him, resting against the contertop.

"Cant sleep?" Troy asked, approaching her, only to turn and take a glass, filling it with water from the tap.

"Heh, no.." She said, her cheeks still pink, as she glanced around the music. "You cant either?"

"Oh yeah, I just woke up thirsty." Troy replied wih a smile.

"Oh." Gabriella replied, looking around slowly, before stepping towards him suddenly. "Stay up with me?" She proposed, smiling hopefully at him.

He chuckled softly, placing his glass into the sink. "Sure." He said, as her smile widened.

"So, basketball superstar Troy Bolton," Gabriella said, making conversation on their way over to the couch. "What made you fall for science geek Gabriella Montez?" She quizzed, smiling at him as he lay on the couch, his head and shoulders supported on the arm rest.

"Tch, cause she's, like, the hottest geek ever, natch." Troy said jokingly, as Gabriella lay on him. She giggled softly at his reply, before grabbing his hands and wrapping them around her. They remained like this for a good few minutes, exchaning the odd kiss now and again. The conversation had dulled, and Troy checked his watch. 4:30... He thought, before returning his hand to Gabriella's stomach, to where it was previously resting.

Suddenly though, Gabriella turned and pressed her lips against his. Troy smiled inwardly,and returned the kiss. After afew minutes, Gabriella turned, so that they were laying stomach to stomach, as the kiss deepend, Gabriella's tongue brushing against Troy's lips, probing for enterance. Troy complied, unsure about what was driving her to do this, although he wasnt complaining.

Gabriella wrapped her arms around Troy, their tongues still brushing against eachother. She eventually broke the kiss, grinning, blushing madly, and slightly short of breath. "Wow.." She said to herself. She stole a glance at Troy, who was also smiling, and looking at her. Her blush deepened, and she looked away, before pecking him on the lips quickly, and resting her head on his shoulder.

Troy watched her curiously for afew minutes, before he slowly felt his eyelids being dragged down...

A/N - Well, here we go. I started this earlier than usual, cause I was off sick, so you might even see another update on Friday, if I can get some inspiration. I had only planned the first day, the first night, and the last day and night. The remaining days are open canvas, so shoot me some ideas. Remember, You + Review Update, and as always: Vanessa Anne Hudgens is damn fit.
