It was a lovely Saturday night in New York City; everyone was out in town to enjoy the atmosphere. Unfortunately, Gabriella is busy working for her best friend's wedding. Sharpay and her fiancé Finn already said their I do's and now it was time for the reception.

In every job she has, reception was a little bit more relaxing than any part of a wedding because people came to just relax and have fun without having any types of disasters and it was Gabriella's job to prevent it. Since it was her best friend's wedding, she has to work wearing a formal dress but she kept her phone very close to her in case of any emergencies.

"Gabriella!" she heard Sharpay called her.

"Hey! So how do like your wedding?" Gabriella asked.

"Tremendous! I love my wedding. It is just like how I imagined! I want you to meet some of my work friends," Sharpay said as she pulled Gabriella to the group Sharpay just left.

"Ladies, meet my wedding planner and best friend extraordinaire, Gabriella Montez. Did I mention she is now doing birthday parties now?" Sharpay announced to her friends.

"Only temporarily. I'm only taking over some of my co-workers job," Gabriella explained.

"Well you did an amazing job with this wedding. The cocktail bar is the best part ever in this wedding. Could you my niece's party? My sister is tearing her hair out figuring out the theme of the party," friend #1 asked.

"No way, I need Gabriella to help me plan my wedding next," friend #2 debated.

"I'm afraid Gabriella has been booked too much lately. In addition planning her own wedding," Sharpay said as she pulled out Gabriella's hand which had her engagement ring on it.

The ladies stared in awed at her ring, "Sharpay," she whined.

"That is such a magnificent piece of specimen. Who are you engaged to, Donald Trump?" friend #1 asked.

"Oh, no, my fiancé is a lawyer," Gabriella answered.

"Score," friend #2 commented. "My husband got my ring on sale at a department store."

"So have you set a date for your wedding yet?" friend #1 asked.

"Yes, it's on the 27th of March," Gabriella answered.

"Wow, best of luck to you," friend #1 responded.

"If you don't mind ladies, I want to talk to Gabriella privately," Sharpay asked politely.

"Sorry I couldn't be a part of your wedding. There are just so many things to be done at a wedding," Gabriella said to Sharpay after they walked away from her friends.

"Gabriella, that doesn't matter anymore. Any word about Troy and his promotion yet?" Sharpay asked. Gabriella told Sharpay about the possible of moving to Washington thing.

Gabriella was about to respond but Troy walked over to them and handing Gabriella a glass of fruit punch. "Hi Sharpay, congratulations on your wedding," Troy greeted Sharpay nicely.

"Thank you. If it wasn't for your fiancé, none of this would happen," Sharpay replied. "So Troy how's everything with work? You just got back from Washington this week right? Anything you might want to discuss with Gabriella or something?"

Troy shot Sharpay a confused glance, "I don't think so. Why?"

Before Sharpay could respond, Finn joined them. It was weird seeing Finn in an expensive tuxedo. In fact, he looks a bit uncomfortable.

"Hey Troy! What's up?" he greeted Troy with a best guy friend handshake. They have been gotten close since Troy started dating Gabriella because they always go in double dates once in a while.

"Nothing much," Troy replied.

"Thanks again for being one of my groomsman. I owe you," Finn said.

"Just make sure you wear a good tux for my wedding," Troy joked.

"Shar, there's someone I want you to meet," Finn told his new wife and pulled her away.

"So what was she talking about?" Troy asked Gabriella.

"I don't know. Shar probably drank a little too much I guess," Gabriella lied.

"Hey, do you have a minute, I need to talk to you about something," Troy asked Gabriella.

Gabriella hesitated for what it seemed like hours. "Come on, the wedding won't set itself on fire," Troy added.

Gabriella smiled weakly and nodded as Troy lead her out of the wedding reception and climbing up the stairs to the roof top of the building.

"How did you know where to find this place?" Gabriella asked. "I don't know this exists."

"I took a wrong turn at the balcony," Troy shrugged off. "Anyways, I have some good news bad news to tell you."

"Bad news please," Gabriella responded quickly.

"Well, I have to be in Washington for a whole month starting in next week," Troy started. "But the good news is that I can come home every weekend to help you with the wedding details and everything."

"So you're going to be gone for a whole month?" Gabriella asked.

"Yes but I told you, I can still help with the wedding stuff. We'll Skype and call and facetime or whatever technology there is," Troy replied.

That was not good enough for Gabriella. "Next week? Why are you just telling me now?" she questioned.

"I just got the word yesterday. I'm really sorry about this. But there is a big case there that needs me and I'm the only one that they thought of," Troy explained.

"You're the only one? Don't your law firm have another guy that can take over you?" Gabriella asked, trying to stop herself from sobbing.

"Gabriella, what's wrong?"

"It's just that just this year you've been on tons of business trips. You're barely even home and then you're leaving again? I'm starting to think that 'business trip' means 'other woman'," Gabriella replied.

Troy looked at her face with horror, "I will never cheat on you and you know that. What I'm telling you is true and it's not like it's not familiar to you," he said.

"What are you talking about?"

"You're practically occupied with work now. The reason you got stuck with Jennifer's workload is because you can't say no to your boss. I have that problem too. You know how bosses are," Troy replied.

"So you're saying I'm a pushover?" Gabriella asked, feeling offended.

Troy hesitated, "Well yeah but so am I."

"Well what about the engagement party your party your parents are throwing? You know, the one YOU agree for us to go," Gabriella questioned him.

"What's the matter with you? You also agreed to it," Troy debated.

"That's because you gave me no choice," Gabriella challenged him.

"No choice? I thought it was a given. My mother knows about you being busy so she's doing a nice thing for us," Troy defended.

"You know, that's your problem. You're such a momma's boy!" Gabriella told him.

"How am I a 'momma's boy'?" Troy challenged.

"You never say no to her. You're also a pushover. You listen to everything she says. I'm not surprise if one day she asks you to cut your penis so you won't get AIDS," Gabriella replied.

"AIDS? You are being a crazy bitch!" Troy told her.

"And you're being a big baby who never says no to his mummy!" Gabriella shouted back.

"Don't you bring my mother up to this. This is about you and you're being clingy about me going on a business trip," Troy replied.

"For a month!" Gabriella added.

"I'm coming back for the weekends. What's wrong with that?" Troy questioned.

Gabriella groaned, "You just don't get it! Even four years of dating, you don't get me at all! You know what, I hope there is another woman you're keeping in Washington so you talk to her about how lovely your mother is," Gabriella said before walking away.

"GABRIELLA! Come on, let's talk this through!" Troy called after but Gabriella ignored him. It was not the way he would expect the conversation to end.

That's all for now. Sorry I have not been updating much. I've been caught up with some shows.

PLEASE REVIEW!
