Next Chapter…hope you enjoy. Red…Review…tell me what you think :D Pretty Please xxxx
Hours, a few drinks and lots and lots of dancing later, the group of seven were sitting at a table in the hotel bar. They had decided not to venture out of the hotel, instead just to spend the night in the bar as there was a karaoke night on. For the first hour or so the group simply sat at the table by the side of the stage and watched the other people who were singing karaoke and danced to the more upbeat tunes. After an hour or so Sharpay couldn't contain herself anymore, she loved to sing. So she jumped up and ran to the stage were the karaoke was taking place. The others hadn't seen where she'd gone. They presumed she had gone to the bathroom so when they heard Sharpay's voice echoing over the speakers that surrounded the room, they were well and truly shocked.
"Dancing queen, young and sweet, only seventeen…"
"Wow! Is that Sharpay? She's amazing!" stated Zeke.
"Yea, I think it is! And yep I agree she is amazing!" laughed Gabriella.
"You mean you've never heard her sing?" Zeke enquired.
"Well…we have heard her sing but not like this!" answered Gabriella.
After this they all sat in silence and just listened to the sound of Sharpay's voice as it surrounded the room. After she came and sat down they still all just sat there and listened. Some of people participating were good, others not so good but all the same they listened to them. Around them people were getting up and dancing once more, so, of coarse, they couldn't not join in so, not long after the first few people got up the group too were up and dancing in a group. All the songs seamed to be up beat so it was perfect for dancing to. By this stage it was almost mid-night so a few people had already got up and left, but the group of seven were all having a great time.
"Wow! I'm tired!" laughed Taylor.
"Yea me too, lets go sit down!" laughed Kelsi. So they all made their way back to their table and sat down. They weren't the only ones sitting down, by now basically everyone in the bar had decided they were too tired to carry on dancing, so they were now all sitting around sipping at their drinks.
"Hey, I'll be right back" Troy whispered in Gabriella's ear and kissed her on the cheek before he made his way to what the others thought was the toilet. Although they were sitting beside the stage they all failed to see him get up onto the stage. They were all sitting talking and laughing and in general having a great time. As they heard the evenings host say, "Now we've got a young man who wishes to sing a song for someone whom he calls a very special girl!" they all began to talk amongst themselves, wondering who it be and was it anyone they knew. All the girls thought it was so romantic and all they guys just thought…well they didn't really care.
"Ya never know what you're gonna feel, oh…Ya never see it comin' suddenly it's real"
The group all turned around as the song began to see that it was Troy singing. As he sang he looked directly into Gabriella's eyes and beckoned her to come up onto the stage. She obliged and as she went she sang…"Oh, never even crossed my mind, no…That I would ever end up here tonight." Luckily she knew the words as it happened to be her favourite song. She has mentioned it to Troy the day they had first began talking…it was so sweet that he remembered she thought as she made her way to the stage. As she stood on the stage she entwined her fingers around Troy's and the pair sang, "All things change…When you don't expect them to…No one knows…What the future's gonna do…I never even noticed…That you've been there all along" as they looked deep into one another's eyes. Their eyes remained locked as they sang, "I can't take my eyes off of you…I know you feel the same way too, yeah…I can't take my eyes off of you…All it took . . . Was one look…For a dream come true." They continued through the whole song, oblivious to everything and everyone else…they were the only ones there, the only ones on the stage, the only ones in the room. By the end of the song they had their arms wrapped around one another and everyone in the bar was cheering. Gabriella looked up at Troy and smiled. Troy smiled back and kissed her on the nose before taking her hand and leading her off the stage and back to their table.
They were greeted with shouts of, "oh my word Gabriella…you are such an amazing singer. You have a great voice!" "You two sing so sweetly together." "Hey Troy, you are a brilliant singer!" to which the pair simply replied a modest, "Thanks."
"Well, ladies and gentle men this is the end of our karaoke night so no more singing. Drinks will be served for another half hour then the bar will close. Thanks for a great night. Have a great holiday. Goodbye, goodnight!" the announcer called as he jumped off the stage and out of the room.
"Well. We better finish up these drinks and get going!" laughed Zeke. "It's getting late!" everyone agreed and drank up their drinks.
As the last drop of drinks was finished Kelsi suddenly announced, "Well. I'm going to go on up to the room!" as she stood up. On her way out she whispered into the other girls ears. "And you can spend time with your lover boys!" to which the girls responded with a giggle.

Just after Kelsi left the remaining friends stood up and the couples split off in separate ways. Chad and Taylor walked off to the pool and sat by the pool side with their shoes off and their feet paddling in the water. The only light was the stars and moon…and a small outdoor light. They sat and talked to one another holding one another's hands. After about half an hour sitting peacefully Chad finely got up and went to leave as it was getting rather late. As he stood up, Taylor stood up too. The stood quietly looking at each other for a minute or so then Chad bent down and kissed her sweetly. As they broke apart they looked at each other and smiled before walking hand in hand towards the door.

Sharpay and Zeke walked hand in hand out the hotel's side doors and into the mini tropical garden that had been created there. They stood under a palm tree looking up at the sky. "It's beautiful isn't it?" said Sharpay.
"Yes. It is. And I know something else that is equally as beautiful!" replied Zeke. Sharpay looked up at him in interest. But he chose not to expand his point any further but instead he lent down and kissed her lips gently. When they broke apart they grinned stupidly up at one another. All of a sudden they realised that all the out door lights were out. Symbolising that the hotel garden was about to close so they walked back into the hotel hand in hand, through the lobby and to the door were they said goodbye…wordlessly.

Gabriella and Troy simply went and sat in the stair well and talked. It was quiet and secluded and not getting interrupted was practically guaranteed. They didn't spend very long there though because Troy had to get back to his grandmothers house. As he was leaving he promised that he would meet her at the beach at ten o'clock the next morning so that they could do what ever she wanted the whole next day. It was her last day, so he wanted to make sure she remembered it. As he left he pulled her into a tight hug and whispered, "I can't wait until tomorrow." Gabriella replied my hugging him tighter. As they broke apart he kissed her forehead gently before letting go of her hand and walking in the direction of 'home'.
