Hi, thank for the reviews, I love them. So. I got one more exam out of the way, the reading/spelling thingy, so that's okay. Though I have two math exams tomorrow, which are gonna be boring, since I hate math so much. And it's 4 hours too... Buh-huh, I hope it goes okay. Anyway, here is your update.

Disclaimer; I don't own HSM.

Queen Chica's Spell

Chapter 10.

And Here We Go Again.

"Sharpay, are you sure this is a good idea?" Gabriella asked, looking at her friend.

Sharpay shot her a cocky smile, and padded her shoulder, "Oh yeah…" she said, "It's payback time for Troy."

"Why don't just let it go?" Taylor suggested, "I don't feel comfortable with this, Sharpay. It's not fair."

"And it wasn't fair for him to pierce my navel either, so now I'm doing this." Sharpay said, "I hope he's gonna like it. And if he don't; that's too bad. And I'll just tell him you didn't know it, don't worry. You guys go get yourself an ice cream while I do this, 'kay?"

"Yeah, okay…" Gabriella said, biting her lip, "Come over when you're done, eh?"

"Sure." Sharpay said, shooting her an evil smile. Then she turned around and walked into the shop.

Oh, yes, it was definitely payback time for the Troy-boy.

"Try Google." Chad suggested, looking at Troy.

"Got cha." Troy smiled, flipping his hair onto his back, "Queen… Chica…" he mumbled while he pressed the keys, and ended with the enter-key. Immediately, a whole bunch of things came up.

"Well…" Ryan said, looking at the screen, "I guess there's nothing left to do that just go through all them."

"Well," Troy said, "We've been stuck like this for some time now, and I guess if we want to get back to normal, we have to do this. It sucks! Where are the girls anyway, aren't they supposed to help with this research too?"

"They're at the mall!" Chad said, "Taylor said something about Sharpay doing something… I'm not quite sure what it was though, but they'll be back soon to research."

"Yeah, maybe they should even search the trash around the Smoothie Place!" Ryan said, crooking an eyebrow, "It sounds gross, yes, but maybe the story is still down there after Gabriella threw it out?"

"That's disturbing Ryan!" Chad said, laughing, "But I guess we could actually get Sharpay to do it if it meant she'd find the story, and get her body back." He paused and picked up his cell phone, "I'll call her."

"No Chad!" Troy said, scrolling down one site at the computer, "You can't take advantage of her… state like that, she's a little confused, and if she does that, she's gonna kill you later. Don't want that to happen, now do you?"

"Like I care!" Chad said, quickly hitting Sharpay's speed dial.

--

"…kay, good luck then." Sharpay mumbled, "Bye." She closed her cell and turned to look at Taylor and Gabriella with a sorrowful look, "Yeah, we're gonna go through the trashcans to find the story. Fun, much?"

"You don't mean that, do you?" Taylor asked, shooting her an ´Are you crazy?´- look.

"Oh yes, I do." Sharpay mumbled, "And you two better help me here! This is all your fault really."

"How's it our fault?" Gabriella asked.

"Because you bought the necklaces, duh." Sharpay said, like that was the most obvious thing in the world. Gabriella and Taylor couldn't help but laugh, even though she was serious. It just sounded so funny, because it was Troy saying duh. There was something they never thought they'd hear him say!

"It's not funny, guys!" Sharpay said, stomping her foot into the floor, "I'm serious, Gabby! You better dig into that trashcan, right over there, or I'm gonna get seriously angry at you! NOW!"

"Okay, okay, okay!" Gabriella said, hurriedly approaching a trashcan. She looked into it, a disgusted look on her face! Ew, that was so gross! But she felt kinda guilty. It was her fault that two of her best friends were stuck in each others bodies. And surprisingly enough, Sharpay hadn't choked her to death yet, so she wouldn't give her a chance to do so. Therefore she knew she had to do this. "Tay?" she whispered, swallowing hard, "Do you think you can help me?"

"Uhm…" Taylor trailed off, looking into the trashcan as well.

"Oh, I think she can." Sharpay said, shooting them both a death glare, "Very, very much."

They hurriedly lowered their heads again, and took a deep breath. There they went…

--

A couple of days later, nothing had happened. They had unsuccessfully gone through the trashcans at the mall. Taylor and Gabriella were still washing their hands every ten seconds, because the smell was just… Ew. The boys had spent hours in front of the computer, but no luck.

It was really starting to annoy both Troy and Sharpay, because they wanted to go back to their own bodies. Troy was really excited, because Sharpay had said that she would love to go on a date with him. Even though she was a little mad at him because of the bellybutton ring, he still suspected that she would go out with him.

And if she didn't, he had the whole speech ready for her. He didn't want to let her go, now when he almost had her.

"Why don't we go to the mall again?" Chad suggested, "The four of us, and… Troy and Sharpay… You can stay home to… I dunno, think of other ideas?"

"Maybe we should just give up!" Troy said, throwing himself back onto Sharpay's bed, "Let's face it, Sharpay; we're stuck like this. We'll never get back, so we might as well make a pact and marry each other."

Sharpay laughed, "Ha! In your dreams, Troy."

"So, what?" Troy just replied, biting his lip, "I believe that I am allowed to dream whatever I want to."

"Yeah, yeah," Sharpay said, closing her eyes, leaning back on her bed too, to lie her head next to Troy's, "Just don't tell me about it, please."

"Ow, you know you like me, Sharpay…" Troy teased, nudging her in the side, "No matter how much I annoy you, you can't deny it. I'm an extremely good-looking friend, and you want more of me!"

"May I repeat myself?" Sharpay asked, before doing so, "Ha! In your dreams, Troy."

Troy was about to say something back, when Ryan interrupted them; "Okay you two, shut the hell up. I don't want to have my sister looking like a guy for the rest of her life, so we'll have to find a way, no matter what!"

"I agree!" Sharpay quickly said, "There's no way I'm looking like this forever."

"Hey!" Troy whined, "Do you say I have a bad body!? C'mon, Sharpay, you know you want a piece of me, everybody does."

"I really think you should shut up now, Troy." Taylor interrupted them, "We don't want a hear one of your ego-trips right now, kay? We have huger problems."

"Yup," Sharpay agreed, "But… I think you should go to the mall, the four of you. Troy and I need to talk. Please, if you want to help us?"

"We always do." Gabriella smiled, standing up, "We'll be there for the rest of the day. We're not giving up."

They all said goodbye, and left the room, leaving Troy and Sharpay to themselves. They didn't know what to say to each other. Sharpay was still really angry at Troy because of the whole bellybutton thing, but she wasn't fuming. And besides, she'd gotten to give him back, real good!

"Troy…" Sharpay begun, "Could you lay back with all your I'm-so-hot-jokes? It's really annoying to listen to."

"I'm sorry." Troy said, "I… Well, I just thought you liked me?"

"I do, Troy." Sharpay said, "Kind of. I don't know for sure, I already told you that. Everything is a little sudden to me, right now. Because of this whole thing, but… I do think you're sweet. And when I think about how much I used to like you, I really believe we could go out. And I'll like to go on a date with you when we get our own bodies back. But you really need to stop acting the way you do."

"I will…" Troy said, "I'm just… I dunno, showing off, I think. Instincts."

"Ha! Okay…" Sharpay laughed.

"But you really will go out with me? It's not just something you're saying because you want me to shut up?"

"No." Sharpay said, reaching out for his hand, "I really do like you. And I'm really looking forward to going out on a date with you sometime."

"Good." Troy smiled, "Anyway, I really need a shower? Care to join me, then?"

"Sure." Sharpay said, pulling him onto his feet. They went into the bathroom, and quickly stripped down, and turned on the water. They slipped into the shower, and Sharpay quickly found the shampoo for Troy to use. He was quite familiar with the different ones now, but it was an old habit for her to pick them for him.

Sharpay watched him for awhile, as he cleaned her hair, with great care. She could tell he loved her hair a lot, it was quite sweet actually. He had a smile on his face, and his eyes were shining, "You know I didn't look at the girls during gym class, right?"

"Huh?" Sharpay exclaimed, snapping out of her thoughts about him.

"I told you that I didn't look at the other girls during gym class." Troy repeated, "I only like looking at you and teasing you, but that's because I like you. I couldn't even get myself to look at Gabriella and Taylor. I guess you don't have that problem, since you showered with the guys…"

Sharpay laughed, "So you were jealous!" she giggled.

Troy's face dropped, and so did his smile, "Yeah…" he mumbled.

"Hey…" Sharpay whispered, lifting his head up with her index finger, "…don't be. It's you I like, isn't it?"

Troy's smile immediately came back to his face, and he tiptoed up to place a sweet kiss on Sharpay's lips. They knew it was a bit gross, kissing each other, but they closed their eyes safely together, and when they did that, they just knew it was the other they were kissing and everything was fine.

Troy's heart was soaring, and he couldn't believe his luck. Sharpay really did like him, otherwise she wouldn't kiss him like that, and she definitely wouldn't stand naked with him in this shower. He placed his hands on her waist, and she snuck her arms around his neck. She assaulted his lips with hers, parting them, to let her tongue fight with his.

Two minutes later she pulled away from him, a smile on her face too. She pulled his blonde locks away from his shoulder, and looked him in the eye, "We're gonna get through this, right Troy?"

"Sure." Troy smiled, "No matter what."

There was a silence for awhile, and Sharpay finally realized that Troy had taken off the bandage on her navel, and a pink bellybutton ring was sticking out. It was kinda cool actually, now that she'd seen it. She'd never really liked a piercing unless it was in the ear, but it was actually cute on her. It suited her very well.

"You know…" she begun, looking up at him with a smile on her face, "I guess that bellybutton ring ain't so bad. It looks kinda good on me."

"Really!?" Troy exclaimed, "See, I told you it would! I just looked at you and thought about what would, y'know, turn me on even more, and… uhm, a pink bellybutton ring looked good. So you're not mad?"

"No…" Sharpay smiled, "I'm not mad…"

"Great!" Troy said, laughing, "I couldn't really stand it if you kept on being mad at me. I know it was stupid of me to do so, but I was mad at you for not getting the hints about me liking you, and then… Well, you know I thought it'd look hot. Thank you for forgiving me, Sharpay!"

"Uhm, you're welcome…" Sharpay said, biting her lip, "But now when we've discussed this… I have a confession too."

"What…?" Troy asked, worrying in his voice, "You really didn't make me sterile did you?"

"No!" Sharpay quickly said, "But I kinda did something else…" she paused, "I… I gave you a tattoo?"

"A tattoo!?" Troy shrieked, "You!? But you hate needles!"

"I had to give you back!" Sharpay argued, feeling bad though. That had probably been a little over the line. She took a deep breath and held out her upper arm, to show him what she had done. She looked at it, and he looked down too, a little smile on his face.

On his arm was firmly written I love Sharpay.

"I just thought I'd pull an ego-trip too." Sharpay said, on the verge of tears. She was so ashamed of herself because of this. She'd really tattooed his arm! Why didn't she listen to Taylor and Gabriella when they told her not to!?

Troy smiled, and traced his finger along the words on his arm. He didn't blow up, and that really surprised her. He just stood there, and stared at it, and then he looked up, and shot her a smile, "It's nice."

Sharpay squeezed her eyebrows together, "So, you're not mad?"

"Mad?" Troy questioned, laughter in his voice, "Why would I be mad? It's the truth. I love you, Sharpay."

Sharpay got a huge smile on her face, and she could feel tears tingling in her eyes, "I – I love you too, Troy." She whispered, the truth pouring out of her.

Their smiles got wider, and they leaned towards each other, their lips pressed together. They felt a rush of feelings floating around, as they closed their eyes, and got lost in each other. Their tongues fought, and they let theirs hands roam around. Suddenly a jolt broke them apart, and they opened their eyes.

And then they looked at each other, shock covering their features, Troy was looking at Sharpay, and Sharpay was looking at Troy.

Okay , so I actually had a few reviewers who suspected a real Disney-ending, with the whole thing being true love. I guess you saw right through me, eh? But yeah, remember to review me now, and I'll be back with more soon! There's only like...2 chapters left or something.

Tootles, Stessa ;p
