This chapter is going to be really broken up because I want to get to the main bit of the story.

TRIVIA ANSWER: it took 6 days to record high school musical' album.

XOXOX

Gabriella woke up and blinked a few times, she was wondering what had woke her up until the offending object made the noise again.

Knock, knock. The door was been knocked from the outside. Gabriella pushed the covers off her body, trudging over to the door. She pulled open the door to reveal Troy standing dressed in jeans and a blue shirt.

"Good morning." He leant over and kiss, ed her gently on the lips.

"Good morning." She replied.

"You look like you are ready to start the day." He said sarcastically. She was dressed in her wonder woman shorts and t-shit pyjamas. Her hair was messier than normal and obviously hadn't been brushed yet today.

"Ha-ha, very funny." She said looking down at what she was wearing. Troy laughed at the look on Gabriella's face as she saw her face in the mirror.

"I will go and let you get ready," Troy said to Gabriella walking back out of her hotel room.

XOXOX

"Ladies and Gentlemen we would like to remind you to keep all your baggage with you. Any baggage left alone will be treated as a threat to safety and will be taken away and unable to get it back."

Troy, Gabriella, Hayden and Dean were sat on the seats in the airport. They had gone through check in and were waiting for their flight to be ready to board.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, flight 6B7PQ to Los Angles, has been delayed. We will let you know when we have any updates. We are very sorry for any problems this causes."

Gabriella heard a groan come from the direction of Hayden and Dean. "Great, we get to spend extra time in a stuffy airport." Dean said "We could have spent more time with Carla and Kirsten."

Yes Dean and Hayden had spent the night before, while Troy and Gabi were on their date, with their respective girl. They had spent the day with the boys helping them back, and it was a good job they did because they really needed it. After they had finished packing their clothes, they all talked about what they should do. They decided that the best idea would be to try a long distance relationship, if it didn't work then they would stay friends, if it did great, they would see where it took them.

Troy and Gabriella hadn't properly worked out their plan, they weren't an official couple. They acted like a couple, they would hold hands and things but Troy hadn't asked her yet.



They had all been sad to say goodbye to Carla and Kirsten, they had been really nice and had had a lot of fun with them, now the holiday was almost over.

"I am going to text Kirsten." Hayden said quietly walking away to go into a quiet area where he could text without his friends been nosey and trying to find out what he was saying.

Dean, Troy and Gabriella were left sitting in their seats still. Gabriella was snuggled up to Troy and Dean was sitting on a seat the other side of Troy. They were all sat on the hard and uncomfortable seats in the waiting area after security in the airport.

"I can't believe this is it." Dean said "We go back home and get ready for going back to school. We have had a lovely relaxing holiday and we go back to school, homework and exams."

"What are you on about Dean?" Gabriella asked looking shocked "You never do your homework. The teachers love you because you're on the basket ball team."

Gabriella's phone started ringing from the inside of her handbag she pulled it out and answered it

"Hello?" Gabriella said into the phone.

"Hello Gabriella honey, it is Lisa, Dean's mom."

"Oh hi. How are you?"

"I am good thank you, how has your holiday been?" Lisa asked. Gabriella looked at Troy and snuggled into his arms more a smile appeared on his face

"It has been amazing. It couldn't have been better."

"That is wonderful. Is Dean available to talk?"

"yes I will just pass you over to him." She put her hand over the mouth piece. "Dean your mother is on the phone."

Dean took the phone and walked away.

"What are you doing when you get back?" Troy asked

"I am going to have to sort things out for school. What about you?" Gabriella asked.

"i am having to sort out some stuff for work."

"I don't want to go back home, I am used to seeing you every day. Now I will never get to see you" Gabriella said a sad smile on her face and her eyes glistening with unshed tears.

"Hey, we will see each other. I promise. How about when Dean gets back with your phone we will swap numbers, and then you can phone me whenever." Troy tried to make Gabriella realise that they would see each other and it wasn't the end of their relationship, whatever their relationship was.



Gabriella gave a small nod and was pulled closer to Troy's chest.

An hour later.

"Ladies and Gentlemen flight 6B7PQ to Los Angles, is now ready to board. Because of the delay please see the air hostesses to get some compensation, we are very sorry for your delay and hope the rest of your trip is safe and goes smoothly." The Lady over the speaker said the news that the 4 friends were waiting to here.

Finally they were getting on the aeroplane, going home rather than sitting in a stuffy airport. Troy, Gabriella, Dean and Hayden all got in the line ready for getting on the plane.

Gabriella and Troy sat next to each other just like they had when they first met, only this time they were practically dating.

"Ladies and gentlemen welcome aboard this America Airlines flight back to Los Angles. We would like to apologise once again for the delay we will try and catch the time up when we are back in the air. We are going to show you a short safety video we ask that you give this video your full attention. If you still have questions after the video we will be happy to answer them for you. We all hope you enjoy the flight."

Gabriella rested her head on Troy's chest and he kissed the top of her head. "Is someone picking you up from the airport when we get there?" Troy asked Gabriella softly.

"Yeah our parents are picking us up I think. What about you?"

"Nah, I am going back to mine reading some scripts. My mom will probably come around to see me tomorrow, acting as if I have just been to war." He laughed thinking about the last time he went away and how worried his mom was.

After eating their dinner on the plane they fell asleep resting in each other's arms.

I am sorry I know it is rubbish, I have ideas I just don't know how to get it started. So that is why this stuff is so rubbish.

If you have any ideas please write them to me as a PM or a review.

ALL your lovely reviews will be greatly appreciated.
