" Sharpay!"

" Sharpay!"

" Are you ok?"

" Can you hear us?"

Sharpay sat up and turned around. All she saw was a light and voices still calling her name.

" Sharpay!"

" Come here!"

Sharpay squinted from the bright light shining her way. Only one thought came to her mind. Am I dead? she thought.

" Am I in Heaven?" she asked quietly.

" Um, sure," a voice replied. " Come towards the light, Sharpay."

" AH!"

" AH!"

" Troy, it's a mummy, swing at it!" Chad shouted.

" No, doofus, it's Ryan," Troy answered.

" Do you guys mind putting your weapons down?" Ryan asked them shaking.

" No problem," Troy said.

" Yeah, sorry man," Chad replied.

" It's,… it's ok," Ryan responded. Ryan took a look around the room as the two put the bat and golf club back. " Um, Chad, Troy?" Ryan called out.

" Yeah, Ry?" Troy said.

" Where's my sister?" he asked.

" What?" Troy replied.

" My sister. You know, the blonde girl around 5'3'' in a cowgirl costume?" Ryan responded.

" Oh, your sister," Troy said uncomfortably. " Well, um, she was with us. Right Chad?" Troy began.

" Right. Sharpay was right next to us," Chad added.

" Then how come she's not next to you now?" Ryan pestered.

" You see, we were stuck," Troy admitted.

" And there was no other way out," Chad continued.

" But there was a small crawl space," Troy amended.

" Just small enough for Sharpay," Chad said.

" Because I was too big," Troy reasoned.

" And I wasn't taking a chance on the hair," Chad defended.

" So we…"

" By 'we' meaning Troy," Chad stated. Troy shot him a furious look. Chad just shrugged his shoulders.

" Sent Sharpay into said crawl space," Troy added.

" And she was ok as far as we could see," Chad reassured.

" Until she didn't respond to us anymore," Troy continued.

" And we couldn't see where she was going," Chad said.

" So what you're trying to say is you lost my SISTER?!" Ryan exclaimed.

" When you put it that way, it sounds like something bad," Chad commented.

" You seriously lost my sister?" Ryan repeated.

" Not lost, it's just we have to find where she's going," Troy corrected.

" Taylor what are you doing?" Gabriella whispered.

" Look, you can't move and I'm not going to leave you here all alone, so maybe if she thinks she's dead, she'll come into the light," Taylor explained.

" Just tell her it's us," Gabriella snapped.

" Fine. Sharpay! It's us!" Taylor yelled.

" Taylor, you've been around Chad too long, she's not going to know who 'us' is," Gabriella retorted.

" Could you stop fussing at me and just hold the stupid flashlight?" Taylor countered.

" Fine," Gabriella answered.

" Sharpay, this is Taylor!"

" And Gabriella!"

" Crawl to us! Gabriella is stuck!"

Sharpay slowly crawled to Taylor and Gabriella. She was weak and tired, so she came gradually. Once she was in arm reach, Gabriella reached out and helped her closer to her and Taylor.

" Oh, Taylor, Gabriella, I'm so happy to see you guys. I've been crawling forever!" Sharpay exclaimed hugging the two.

" We're glad to see you too!" Gabriella said hugging back.

" We're happy you're safe," Taylor said joining the duo's hug.

" Where's Ryan?" Sharpay asked curiously.

" We don't know. He went to find you and the guys," Taylor replied.

" Speaking of the guys, where are they?" Gabriella questioned.

" I don't know. Probably back in the laundry room we fell in. They sent me in this dusty, claustrophobic, cramped crawl space. If I see them, they're gonna get a big piece of my mind," Sharpay vowed.

" Well, seeing as I'm still stuck…" Gabriella pointed out.

" Stuck? Where?" Sharpay asked. Gabriella shifted her gown to show Sharpay where the gown was caught in the metal lining. " We can get that out," Sharpay stated.

" Which way did my sister go?" Ryan asked.

" The compartment went straight as far as we can tell," Chad said.

" Wait a minute, Ryan, where are the girls?" Troy questioned.

" Yeah, weren't all of you sitting on the couch?" Chad added.

" Or supposed to be?" Troy continued.

" Dude, if you lost Taylor, I will get that bat over here and will not be responsible for my actions," Chad warned.

" I didn't. We heard a noise," Ryan explained.

" What noise?" Troy asked. Then suddenly THUMP!

" That noise," Ryan said spooked.

" What was that?" Chad said.

" I don't know, but me and the girls were trying to figure out where it was coming from," Ryan replied. THUMP they heard again.

" Who's making that noise?" Troy said.

" I don't know," Ryan responded again. THUMP!

" Dude, we better get out of here," Troy urged.

" But we need to find out who making the noise," Ryan argued.

" And we need to find Sharpay," Chad added.

" And Taylor and Gabriella," Ryan amended.

" And a way out," Chad pressed. THUMP! The guys looked at each other.

" Maybe later," the three said at the same time. The all ran out the door Ryan came through.

" Almost got it," Sharpay stated. She used a few bobby pins from her hair to help break Gabriella free. (another no pun intended) With a few yanks, she pulls the dress out from the metal lining.

" Thank you Sharpay!" Gabriella exclaimed.

" No sweat," Sharpay replied. All of a sudden, THUMP!

" Oh no," Gabriella whispered.

" It's the noise again," Taylor added.

" What noise?" Sharpay wondered. THUMP!

" The noise we were trying to find," Gabriella explained. THUMP!

" Let's get out of here," Sharpay cried.

" Which way?" Taylor asked.

" Let's go back your way. It's shorter and we can at least find Ryan," Sharpay suggested.

" Yeah, he shouldn't be too far," Gabriella agreed.

" Let's go," Taylor commanded. The three crawled back hoping to escape the mysterious noise.


So they're all running, or crawling, away from the same noise. I guess about one more chapter to go. Thanks for the reviews. Review are always helpful and encouraging. Anyways, I hope you guys like it. Please be nice and review.
