Gabriella's POV

Spring break was usually a time to get away from the drama that happens in Albuquerque, but Katie had to leave her mark in Cabo. At the club, Troy wasn't a fan of Katie's dancing. He was really mad and who did he run back to? Me. Prom is coming soon. It's so sad that it's the last dance. Like they all say, save the last dance.

At lunch with Gabriella, Taylor, Sharpay, and Kelsi,

"Have you guys started buying prom dresses yet?" Taylor asked.

"I need to be asked first before I spend a fortune on dresses." Gabriella answered.

"Oh please cut the drama Gabriella, Troy is going to ask you." Sharpay replied.

"How do you know?"

"It doesn't take a psychic to figure that out." All the girls laughed.

"Change the subject please."

"Okay, where are the boys?"

"I think they are at the golf course." Gabriella answered.

At the golf course with Troy, Chad, Zeke, and Jason,

The boys were goofing off at the golf course. They would drive really fast on the course. They would scream at each other, pretend that their clubs were swords, and scream FORE! to everyone.

"Guys, were going to get kicked out." Troy muttered. The boys soon stopped at went back to the club house and ate lunch. "How are you guys going to ask the girls?" The boys told each other their plans.

Mission: Get date for prom

Operation: Kelsi

Kelsi and Gabriella were at Starbucks together and a tall lady who was in her early forties asked if anyone had a silver Honda.

"Does anyone here have a silver Honda?" Kelsi was confused as she raised her hand. Jason had told Gabriella the plan so she acted like she knew nothing. Who knew that Gabriella was such a good actress? She actually looked rather scared. "Follow me." Kelsi got up from her chair and Gabriella followed from behind. They walked into the back parking lot.

"What is going on here?" she was panicking as she saw her car being towed.

"You parked illegally. You will be paying a fine."

"But I don't get it, I mean I did not see a no parking sign anywhere. I swear." Kelsi started rambling as Jason wasn't far behind laughing his head off. He walked towards the awkward scene holding flowers. "Hi Jason. Do you see what is going on here?"

"Yeah, Kelsi will you go to prom with me?" he handed her the flowers and hugged her as he whispered in her ear. "It was all a joke."

At first Kelsi was confused and then she finally understood yelling, "OH MY GOD!" Gabriella, the tow lady, and Jason were all laughing.

Operation: Sharpay

Sharpay was in her room singing Bop to the Top. She heard a knock on her door. She walked to her door. She opened it to Zeke holding a cake saying, 'Prom?' She hugged him.

(A/n yeah Zeke is a very simple man..lol)

Operation: Taylor

Chad had told Taylor's parents what he was planning. He went inside their house and soon after that left. Taylor came home and her parents told her to go to her room. Taylor, kind of confused, went upstairs. She opened the door in awe.

"Oh my fricken god." She covered her mouth with her hand. She looked at her room again. Her window was spray painted with the words "Out of all the fishes in the sea, will you go to prom with me?" and Chad left a small baby pool on her floor with a bunch of gold fish and one black gold fish. She ran to her phone. "Yes Chad I would love to go to prom with you."

Gabriella was sitting at her computer. She was bummed that all of her friends have already been asked and she was still dateless. Once she got home Gabriella signed on to AOL

Few minutes later,

Gabriella muttered. "Oh God, what do I wear??"

Gabriella opened the door wearing a short white dress with a denim vest and boots.

"what?!?" she questioned as she saw a limo waiting for her

"Miss Montez," the limo driver said to her as she went inside the limo. "There is a letter for you.." he said as he handed her an envelope.

Dear Gabi,

As you embark on this journey, I want to say that you are the greatest girl I have ever met. And nothing is going to change that. I hope you like surprises because you are close to the destination.

Love,

Troy

"We are here.." the driver said.

She walks out of the car only to see Troy in a blue dress shirt with black pants standing on the beach holding flowers and standing next to a big sign saying "will you go to prom with me?"

She runs up to him and hugs him tightly.

"Is that a yes?" Troy asks.

"That's a heck yes." she smiled.

Prom Night. Dance Dance by Fall out boy plays

Everyone was still getting ready, boys fighting over corsages, girls figuring what shoes looks good with their dress. Gabriella had brought back her nerves. Taylor was putting on her makeup. Sharpay had put her shoes on. All the boys were making fun of each other.

Troy arrives at Gabriella's house in a black long sleeve dress shirt, gray v-neck sweater on top with black pants. He knocked on the door. Ms. Montez opened the door.

"Troy! Come in." she gestured him to come inside. He walked inside. "Gabriella! Troy is here." Gabriella walked down the stairs glowing as ever in her sleeveless beige floor length dress. She smiled as she saw Troy's mouth wide open in shock. Gabriella's three year old cousin, Annie, who loved seeing Troy ran to Troy and closed his mouth.

"Thanks Annie." He muttered. Gabriella laughed. She walked up to her date.

"Wait! I need to talk a few pictures!" Ms. Montez yelled as she left the room quickly. Gabriella sighed. Ms. Montez soon came back with her camera. Troy and Gabriella posed for what seemed like hundreds of pictures. They left and arrived at Sharpay's house for the before party.

Gabriella ran to Taylor who was wearing a baby blue dress. "Oh my god you look so beautiful!" Taylor screamed.

"Not as much as you!" they laughed and Sharpay soon joined them in their scream fest.

"You girls look so pretty!" she hugged both of them. Sharpay was wearing a black dress with a blue bow that went down to her knees. "I can't believe this is our last dance." The girls exchanged sad looks until they saw Katie. "Speak of the devil." Sharpay muttered. Katie was wearing a short black and white polka dot dress. It looked nice. I guess. Oh I forgot to tell you how she got asked. Well, I think Drew just asked her, like on the phone. Yeah, he's not too much of a romantic.

After the before party, everyone went to prom. Not much drama went on. Katie kept her distance, and this time she wasn't drunk! Everyone took pictures, danced, laughed, sang along to favorite songs, and enjoying their last dance. Prom was about to come to a close and time to go to the after party at Chad's house. Troy and Gabriella decided to skip. Instead, Troy wanted to show Gabriella something.

They drove for about an hour to where ever Troy was taking her. He would refuse to tell her where they were going until they got there. Gabriella was shocked when she saw a beautiful beach. "Oh my god, Troy." He opened the door for her and took her hand. They walked on the empty beach. It was about 5:00 am right before sunrise, so no one would be there. He turned on his stereo in his car to Collide by Howie Day. (A/n what?? I'm making that their song!") He took her hand as he danced with her.

The dawn is breaking
A light shining through
You're barely waking
And I'm tangled up in you
Yeah

I'm open, you're closed
Where I follow, you'll go
I worry I won't see your face
Light up again

Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt that fills my mind
I somehow find
You and I collide

I'm quiet you know
You make a first impression
I've found I'm scared to know I'm always on your mind

Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the stars refuse to shine
Out of the back you fall in time
I somehow find
You and I collide

Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt that fills your mind
You finally find
You and I collide

You finally find
You and I collide
You finally find
You and I collide

As the song ended, Troy stopped dancing and looked into Gabriella's eyes. He smiled as he leaned in forward. Gabriella leaned in too until their lips met to the beautiful scene of the sunrise.
