"Okay Dr. Bolton first we'll have to massage the arm trying to get some circulation." The chief said coming up to the side of his bed.

"Whoa, whoa! I don't think so." He said trying to move away.

"Relax Bolton. I figured you'd react that way so I paged someone to come down and do it."

"Like female?" Troy asked.

"Yes Dr. Bolton."

"Uhh.."

"What now?" The chief asked frustrated.

"I just don't know how happy Gabriella would be about that." He said and the chief rolled his eyes.

"It's an arm Troy." The chief said.

"But still…it's suggesting something."

"Like what!?"

"I really don't want to have this conversation with you." He shuddered.

"Hey chief. You paged me?" Gabriella asked coming into the room.

"Oh okay, that's cool." Troy said nodding while Gabriella's eyebrows scrunched. The chief just rolled his eyes again.

"He won't let me massage his arm." He said deadpanned writing something down on his chart.

"Ohh. Your being difficult again." She said walking over to him. He smiled and kissed her, she pulled away quickly considering the chief of surgery was in the room.

"Hey! I'm a patient I get to kiss you as much as I want." He said.

"Just like all my other patients." She joked.

"Not funny."

"It's a little funny."

"If you two are done flirting, I'd like to start."

"Jeez chief, way to kill a mood." Troy mumbled. Gabriella grabbed Troy's arm stretching it out gently. She carefully laid it out in front of him before curling it toward him. A quick beep was heard and the chief looked down at his pager.

"I'll be right back. Dr. Montez, just keep doing what your doing, and if he's in any pain give him ten milligrams of epi okay?" He said and she nodded at him before he left.

"You know," Troy muttered to her watching her carefully as she worked on his arm. "If I could use my arm right now, I would sooo be flexing for you." He said which made her giggle.

"Always a charmer." She said smiling at him. "Can you feel that?" She asked massaging his bicep.

"Yeah, actually." He replied slightly surprised.

"That's a good sign. How does it feel?"

"Good." He breathed almost seductively. He reached his left arm over to her stroking her thigh.

"Troy.." She warned with a small giggled slapping his hand away. "I'm your doctor right now, not your girlfriend."

"You're a sexy doctor."

"Do you want me to get the chief to do this?" She asked and his eyes widened.

"No. God no." He said with a shudder making her giggle.

"So, Zeke asked Sharpay to marry him." Gabriella muttered almost hinting looking down at her fingers that were still rubbing his arm.

"Stupid, stupid man." Troy muttered with a laugh.

"Well, they have been together for a year and a half." She said trying to point out to him that they've been together longer.

"So? That doesn't mean that marriage is the right thing. The time two people date doesn't determine how the marriage is going to work. I mean we've been together for almost three years and you don't see us getting married."

"No, no I don't." She muttered pushing her thumb into his arm with force.

"Ow!" He whined.

"Sorry sweetie."


"Hello nurse McKessie, can you run these labs for me, please?" Chad asked politely. Taylor raised an eyebrow at him before taking the folder out of his hand.

"Uhh, sure..doctor."

"Thank you. Good bye nurse McKessie."

"Bye." she said watching his retreating back weirdly.

"What are you looking at?" Sharpay asked coming up to the counter.

"Uhh, nothing." Taylor said shaking her head. "What's up?"

"Nothing much, are you going for lunch soon?"

"Yeah I just have to run these labs first."

"Okay, I'm going to see if Gabriella wants to come."

"Oh, she can't she's working with the chief on Troy's physical therapy."


Troy held the oversized pen in his hand trying to write his name. So far, he had 'T' well, at least that's what Gabriella thought it was. She giggled quietly to herself as she watched him use the giant pen. It was probably bigger then his head, but it was easier to hold so it had to be that size if he ever wanted to write with his right hand again. "This is frustrating." Troy mumbled.

"That's pretty good Dr. Bolton." The chief said

"Are you kidding? That's terrible." Troy said seeing two lines scraped across the page.

"What do you expect?" Gabriella asked with a slight giggle. "It's your first day. It'll get better." She said softly stroking his hair.

"You can take a break if you like Troy." The chief said. He sighed in relief dropping the pen.

"How are you feeling?" She asked.

"My arms okay. I got feeling back so that's good, but it's still hard to write. It like tenses up."

"No I don't just mean your arm. Like any head aches? Nausea?..Diarrhea?-"

"What!? No" He said quickly making her laugh.

"You don't have to be embarrassed. I'm a doctor, remember?" She giggled.

"But its weird, you're my girlfriend."

"Not here she isn't." The chief warned quickly.

"Yeah, professional blah, blah, blah, I get that enough from her." Troy said pointing his thumb at Gabriella.

"Okay, breaks over." The chief announced earning a loud groan from Troy.

"That was hardly a break." Troy complained. Gabriella laughed again as she watched the chief roll his eyes for about the hundredth time. Troy watched Gabriella carefully as she sat on the bed beside him. He still had to pinch himself to make sure he wasn't dreaming each time he laid eyes on her. He still remembered the first time he ever laid eyes on her.

Flashback

Troy looked around the crowded room with a sigh as he stood by his best friend and roommate Chad Danforth. They were roommates in med school and were both ecstatic when they got into the same hospital. Everyone was dressed in nice evening wear. Women in elegant cocktail dresses and men in suits. Glancing around he looked at his colleagues or as he thought of them, competition. Taking in everyone's appearance before they would be shielded away by surgical masks.

"Whoa." He uttered before quickly spinning around to face Chad.

"What? What's going on?" Chad asked as he watched Troy look over his shoulder before looking to the floor. Troy gulped and scratched his head.

"Look um..see the girl with the black dress? And the dark hair?" He asked. Chad looked past Troy's shoulder looking in the crowd. "Don't look!" Troy shrieked and Chad diverted his eyes quickly.

"But you told me to look."

"She's beautiful." Troy muttered under his breath.

"Who?" Chad asked getting frustrated.

"I just told you!" Troy said exasperated before exhaling. He looked over his shoulder subtly, smiling softly as he watched her laugh lightly with another girl with blonde hair. "She has dark eyes, and long curly black hair." He said before turning back to Chad reluctantly.

"Oh okay, I see her. She's hot." Chad said nodding casually. "Are you going to go talk to her or what?" He asked and Troy's eyes widened.

"Are you kidding? A girl like that probably has a boyfriend."

"It's just talking. Plus it doesn't hurt to find out. Who knows, maybe she doesn't."

"I guess." He said nervously. "But what do I say?"

"Hi, would be a good start."

"Hi?"

"That's it." Chad said obviously amused with Troy's nervous state. He'd never seen his best friend like this. He had no problem talking to girls in med school.

"Hi. I can do that." He said some what confidently. Troy took a deep breath. "Hold my drink." He muttered before walking over to the beautiful girl in the black dress.

"Hi." He said and he watched her turn around, and he sucked in a breath. "I'm Troy Bolton."

"Gabriella Montez." God even her name was beautiful.

"So," He started awkwardly not knowing what to say. "Excited?" Troy asked insinuating to their first day at Massachusetts General Hospital tomorrow morning.

"More like terrified." She giggled and he smiled.

"I think everyone's kind of feeling that way." He said smiling, he looked down at his shoes before looking back up causing his bangs to sweep in front of his face.

"You know, you should really keep your bangs out of your eyes." She said randomly. He couldn't help but smile at the abrupt statement.

"I'll keep that in mind."

End Flashback

Gabriella felt Troy interlace their hands and she smiled.


"Nurse McKessie, would you mind running an IV drip on Mr Shift?"

"Okay what's up with you?" She asked Chad.

"Excuse me?"

"Why are you acting…weird?"

"I'm sorry nurse McKessie, I don't know what your talking about. I think I'm being very civilized. Not rude at all." He said not looking at her.

"Okay, whatever, just cut it out. It's weird." Taylor said before going to Mr. Shift's room and Chad let out a small smile.
