Okay, so I have officially decided I'm not going to give up on this story but I really need to know you guys are supporting me, I'm seriously worried about this story and the comedy for me is simply just not up to scratch! Anyway, I'm not going to sit and moan, I finally, got to see High School Musical 2 and I loved, loved, loved it! It was so great and when 'I Gotta Go My Own Way' started, I cried. I know, I'm a freak but that's why you all love me and this story!

Anyway, I don't own High School Musical yada, yada, yada! What…do you want me to say more?

Chapter 9 – Fallen For A Fish

TROY and Gabriella made their way to Miss Darbus's classroom that morning, hand in hand. They had yet to go on their first date but they had grown closer than ever before. They had to rely on each other now.

They had come to a halt in front of the Drama teacher's door and stared at it nervously.

"Okay, look, 'Gabriella said apprehensively, "This is what we'll do, you can go in and I'll wait out here and –"

"What, you're going to send me in there alone with her! She'd eat me alive, fish and chips!" Troy said sarcastically.

"Don't be silly! You're the guy, you should obviously go first!"

"No way!"

"Yes way!"

"No Way!"

"Ye –"

"CHILDREN! KEA'LINE! Hush, 'It was Mrs Darbus, she was standing in front of them and when Troy saw her, he yelped and leapt behind Gabriella in terror, "I see who wears the pants around here." She laughed loudly.

"Miss Darbus, we need to talk to you." Gabriella said firmly.

"Oh, I see, then please enter." She said and she allowed the two young teenagers into her office.

They sat down in the desks and looked at the teacher, stretched out behind her desk.

"I'm sorry Children, I'm not well. I've seemed to have lost my cat. She is always fond of washing my feet." She said though she didn't see Gabriella gagging and Troy sniggering.

"I have no idea why, 'Gabriella muttered under her breath, "They taste like garlic."

"Now, 'The Drama teacher said briskly, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

"We need to know how to get out of this curse! It's killing us, both of us." The young brunette said.

"Hmm, I see, starting to niggle at you is it?" The Drama teacher queried.

"Look, 'Troy said standing, "We just want to know if we have to hop around any fire singing the hokey cokey!"

Miss Darbus chuckled and shook her head, "So innocent, to break the spell you must look to your heart and…sing the Humuhumunukunukuapua'a song!"

"The what?" They queried perplexed.

Miss Darbus laughed, "Find out as much as you can about Princess Tiki and Prince Humuhumunukunukuapua'a. They'll lead the way."

And Troy and Gabriella looked at each other, all the more bewildered.

"What is she talking about?" Gabriella asked.

"I don't know, perhaps we should strap her up and take her to a mental institute. I mean, come on, she's crazy! So, shall I get the ductkape?" He asked enthusiastically.

Gabriella tried to smack him and said rather angrily, "We're not kidnapping our teacher."

"Why not? I don't think anyone going to stop us; heck the entire school would help us!" He protested in his defence.

They were about to turn back around when they found Miss Darbus listening in on their conversation.

"AHH! SHE'S TRYING TO KILL ME!" Troy screamed dashing off down the corridor.

"Montez, 'Miss Darbus said turning to Gabriella who was about to follow after Troy, "You have much fear showing your feelings to young Mr Bolton."

"No I don't!" Gabriella protested.

"Well just for today, twenty four hours, you shall speak nothing but truth!" Miss Darbus said, the door locked behind Gabriella and Miss Darbus walked towards Gabriella raising her hand and pointing at her.

"Miss Darbus no!"

But Miss Darbus was already beginning to chant devilishly.

Thou shalt not lie, or so the lore says,

From twenty four hours, in heavenly ways,

Enchanted with tongues that dip with your love,

Your mind will speak truth, from the world up above

Gabriella screamed loudly and spun her body and cried out in pain but stopped and said, "I don't feel anything."

"What do you really think of me Gabriella?" Miss Darbus asked.

"I think you're a crazy capacious old witch who can't keep your long obsessively creepy nose out of other peoples business!" Gabriella said quickly and she gasped.

"Detention Miss Montez!" Miss Darbus thundered.

Gabriella sighed, "No don't do that please, oh wait, it doesn't matter I can sneak through the vents again!"

Gabriella quickly threw open the door and dashed down the corridor. She was speaking her mind, constantly

"Hey Gabriella, 'A young boy named Carl said waving, "How's it going?"

"Terrible! I'm on my period! Damn it!" She said dodging Carl.

"Oh Miss Montez, 'Her librarian, Miss Grayhams called coming up to her, "I was wondering what you thought of that book 'The Sight' remember I borrowed it to you?"

"I didn't even read it, I dropped it in the bath." She said and she cringed nervously as she darted off.

She threw herself in the bathroom and sat on the toilet seat nervously, locking the door.

A moment later the door opened and Gabriella fell silent, she felt herself sneeze and at the same time she burped, it sounded terrible. The girl who had entered the bathroom sniggered.

"Who is that?" She asked.

Now normally Gabriella would never have answered but now…

"Gabriella Montez! That's right I burped get over it!" She wanted to kick herself and as she dashed out of the bathroom she whimpered as she felt comforting arms around her.

"Gabriella, 'It was Troy, "Are you alright?"

"Fine now, 'She said smiling "DO YOU KNOW I DREAM ABOUT SLEEPING WITH YOU?"

She rammed her hand over her mouth and started to whimper. Everyone around them was laughing, when she pulled her hand away…

"I was the one who stuffed that forty pairs of knickers in your locker last year."

And then…

"When we were five I spilt tea all over your mother's carpet and blamed you."

And then…

"I shaved some of Chad's hair three years ago."

"Hey! That's not fair, people laughed at me for weeks." Chad said advancing forward but Taylor grabbed him back and when he looked down on her there was a soothing smile on her face.

"I wrote the rumour that you kissed Nerdy Nessa under the mistletoe last year because I was jealous of your relationship with Ashley Winem."

Before Troy could believe what Gabriella was saying he had clamped his hand over her mouth to stop her talking.

"It's the last lesson of the day and I'm getting you out of here." He whispered to her softly.

She nodded under his grasping hand, her mind was going wild.

"Let's go." He said and he helped her outside leaving everyone to stand watching confused.

As she watched them go Taylor turned to Chad.

"We need to talk." She whispered and she led him off to a more secluded part of the school.

TAYLOR sighed as she tried to retell Chad what she had seen.

"Look Gabriella and Troy were unaware that night but I saw them in the swimming pool together, he was a fish and she was mortal." She said for the third time that day.

"A fish? Wait, Troy, that's impossible. Troy wouldn't want to be a fish!" Chad laughed.

"No! Chad you're not understood, Troy and Ga –"

"Troy would be something like a wildcat, you know, something normal." Chad laughed.

Taylor was sweet on Chad but he was truly, truly insane.

"Look Chad, Miss Darbus turned Troy into a fish. That's why Gabriella was so keen to get the fish out of your hands when you had him." She said.

"But…but, no, because Gabriella said that was her fish!"

"But Chad, it was Troy!" Taylor moaned.

"Ha-ha, Taylor, 'He said leaning across and touching her forehead, "Are you okay? You're not well are you?"

"I'm fine Chad." Taylor moaned.

"Nah, you've been eating the mystery surprise in the canteen again, I told you Tay, and it's not good for you." Chad chuckled; he picked Taylor up and was carrying her to the nurse's office.

Taylor sighed as Chad kissed her forehead, "Don't you worry Taylie – Waylie, I'm going to take care of you. I told you once, Troy's not a fish, he'd be a wildcat not a fish." And with that he opened the nurse's door and placed her on the bed.

Taylor sighed and rolled her eyes, he was cute but was a nincompoop!

"I'M so shocked Brie, you were the one who filled my locker with knickers. Miss Darbus called me a sadistic pervert and beat me with her handbag." Troy said as she drove Gabriella home.

"Don't forget about the bra's in your gym locker." She blurted out.

Troy turned to look at her aghast.

"You did that too! Dad took me to the doctors saying I hate a sex drive problem!" Troy said furiously.

"I know, it was so funny!" Gabriella sniggered, she then turned to Troy, "I really didn't mean for that to come out! Miss Darbus cursed me!"

Troy laughed and stopped the car; he could have a little fun here!

(Okay, Gabriella is italics and Troy is normal writing here)

"When did you start liking me?"

"When we were thirteen!"

What's the naughtiest thought you've had about me?"

"Doing it with you in a shower…I AM SO GOING TO KILL YOU!" Gabriella said screaming angrily.

"How many times a week do you think of this?" He chuckled.

It all just came out, what ever she was thinking.

"What do you mean, 'She laughed, "I think about it every night!"

"Who were your other crushes?"

"Chad, Zeke, Mark, Craig and you, but I stopped liking them about two years ago." She smacked herself and rammed a hand over her mouth.

She was lying in the backseat of the car now breathing angrily, Troy pulled himself over the car and touched Gabriella's cheek, he was lying on top of her and her breathing was heavy.

"What do you feel for me now?" He asked.

"I've kind of fallen for you!" (It ends there now, back to normal talking)

"Falling for a fish Miss Montez, what next?" Troy laughed and with that he leant down and captured her lips in a hungry yet gentle kiss.

Gabriella giggled against his lips and pulled him closer to her, her hands winding swiftly around his neck.

Troy felt her tongue hungrily at the bottom of his lip and he opened his mouth and allowed her access as her hands travelled up and down her soft elegant body.

When they pulled apart Troy leant against Gabriella's forehead and kissed her nose.

He heard her snort, "I've had better kisses…oh my god, did I just say that?"

"Yeah, 'Troy said slightly disappointed, he sat up so he was looking down on her as he straddled her, "Maybe you should keep your hand over your mouth."

Gabriella sensing Troy's anger at her sudden outburst nodded, but it really wasn't her fault, she didn't mean for that to come out. Sure, she had had better but whoa, what a kiss!

"Come on, 'He said getting off her, obvious anger in his handsome voice, "Lets get going. It won't be long until I take my form again and I don't want to be in a car with someone who can't drive!"

"I'm…I'm sorry…I…spoilt sport!" She said before she glared at him and Troy got into the front seat and started to drive off again.

Gabriella sighed, "What had Miss Darbus done?" She questioned.

Okay, so it was not the best chapter ever but it's a chapter right? The next chapter will begin with Troy being a fish okay, since we didn't see any of that in this one, I'm sorry this one took so long to update but I really wanted to make it as good as I could and it took me ages to perfect it. This is one hundred percent the hardest story I've got to write! Seriously!

Anyway guys, review and tell me what you think, you're all awesome, you rock!
