Hey everyone! Time for the next chapter! Yay!! So, last trivia question was:

Which new Disney Channel star also stars with Zac Efron in his new movie?

The answer is Sterling Knight!! In case you don't know, Sterling Knight plays Chad Dylan Cooper on the new Disney Channel show Sonny With A Chance. And he plays Alex, Mike(Zac Efron)'s son, in 17 Again! Isn't that cool? So, the first person to get it right was .licious . YAY YOU!!!!!! *claps and jumps up and down like London Tipton* Ah, I love London Tipton. Haha…anyway, the chapter! Yay!


That night and all the other nights Gabriella was at the castle, she and Troy slept with each other without sleeping with each other. (A/N: don't understand, just ask. Kinda M-rated, that one thing.) Over the course of the three days, Troy and Gabriella had gotten closer and closer, and also, T and G had been trying to communicate with each other in secret, but had mostly failed. They had got a hold of each other once and told each other about the many things that had happened since they last talked. T told G that he had found his mystery girl, and she was happy for him. Really, she was. Gabriella already had a man.

While Troy and Gabriella were getting ready for the ball on that night, Chad, Troy's other assistant along with Ryan, came up to him. "Are you sure you're gonna do this?"

"Do what?" Troy asked.

"You know," Chad said, motioning to Gabriella, who was sitting on the other side of the large room. He couldn't say what it was; it would ruin the surprise/shock.

"Oh. Yes, Chad, I'm sure."

"Positive?"

"Yes, Chad, I'm positive. Why are you so antsy?"

"Because…well…you know she's just a servant girl, right?"

"Yes, I know that."

"Well…don't you have a problem with that?"

"Why does everyone overreact about Gabriella being a servant girl?! I love her! No one should be complaining! It's my life, I do what I want!"

"Okay, okay! I'm just asking! 'Cuz, you know, this is a big step in both of your lives."

"I know. But it's okay. I'm ready."

"Really? What if she's not ready?"

"Really. And I don't know if she'll be ready. But I know she loves me, so it should be okay."

"Okay. Good luck out there, dude." Chad said, giving Troy a pat on the back.

"Thanks, man." Troy said, tapping Chad's hand.

At the start of the ball, a lot of people were there, including the Evans family. Sharpay was the only one who actually wanted to be there.

Gabriella was on the floor, mingling with the people. Word had gotten out around the kingdom that Gabriella Montez was Troy's mystery girl, and everyone was trying to get to know her. While all of this was going on, Troy was talking to people who he'd never gotten a chance to at the ball last week. Occasionally, Troy stole quick glances and smiles at Gabriella, who easily returned them.

Towards the end of the night, once Troy and Gabriella had finished all of their greetings, Troy asked Gabriella to come up on stage with him. Gabriella gladly accepted. Once they were both on stage, Troy put his arm around Gabriella's shoulder and went to the microphone.

"Excuse me? Everyone?" he asked. Everyone immediately turned their attention to Troy and Gabriella.

"So, as you should probably know, this is Gabriella Montez." Troy said. He leaned over to Gabriella and whispered in her ear, "Say hi to the people, Gabby."

"Hi," Gabriella said shyly. The audience replied with a light applause.

"So, if you know, I think that Gabriella is the best thing that's ever happened to me and I love her with all my heart. And I just wanted to prove it to her in front of my people. So, Gabriella, I would like to tell you how I feel, but I think it would be better if I sung about it, 'cuz you know how we like to sing so much." The audience laughed at that. "So, Gabriella, I just wanted you to know that I love you so much. This is for you." Troy let go of Gabriella's shoulder and took the microphone from the stand. The music started, some sort of trumpet-type instrument. And then, Gabriella heard the most beautiful voice escape Troy's lips.

They say it's a man's world, well, they cannot be denied

But what good's a man's world without a woman by his side

Troy then put his arm back around Gabriella's shoulder and stared into her eyes.

So I will wait until that moment you decide

That I'm your man and you're my girl

That I'm the sea and you're the pearl

It takes two, baby

It takes two

A king ain't a king without the power behind the throne

Gabriella laughed at his reference to his royalty as Troy took his arm off her shoulder and pulled her across the stage.

A prince is a pauper, babe, without a chick to call his own

So please, darling, choose me I don't wanna rule alone

Tell me

I'm your king and you're my queen

That no one else can come between

It takes two, baby

It takes two

Lancelot had Guinevere

Mrs. Claus has Old Saint Nick

Romeo had Juliet

And Liz, well, she has her dick (A/N: HAHA!!!! Dick! Lol! Sorry…anyway…)

They say it takes two to tango

Troy took Gabriella in his arms and pulled her into a tango dancing position, dancing a quick tango with her.

Well, that tango's child's play

So take me to the dance floor

And we'll twist the night away

Troy spun Gabriella around in a steady rhythm, and then pulled her towards him and twisted his hips. Gabriella followed suit. When he was done with the verse, he pulled Gabriella close to him and swayed slowly, gazing into her eyes.

Just like Frankie Avalon had his favorite mouseketeer

I dream of a lover, babe, to say the things I long to hear

So, com closer, baby, oh, and whisper in my ear

Troy slowly leaned closer to Gabriella, still singing, and Gabriella whispered in his ear the only thing she could think of at that moment. "I love you." Troy smiled and continued singing.

Tell me

You're my girl and I'm your boy

You're my pride and I'm your joy

That I'm the sand and you're the tide

And I'll be the groom if you'll be my bride

It takes two, baby

Troy let go of Gabriella, which he had been holding onto for the entire time he had been singing. The only part he held was her hand.

It takes

As Troy sang, he reached into his pocket, pulled something out that Gabriella couldn't see, and slowly got down on one knee.

Two

"Gabriella Casey Montez," Troy said and opened his hand to reveal a beautiful, diamond ring.

"Will you marry me?"


(:-O (:-O (:-O (:-O (:-O OMG!!!!!!!!!! What's gonna happen? What will she say?

Okay, so trivia! Once again, killing the moment, but whatever! So, since this was such an important chapter, I decided to make it not HSM-related! Yay! But mostly because I couldn't think of anything HSM-related lol. So, this chapter's question is…

When is the release date for New Moon, the sequel to Twilight?

Yes, they released the date. I'm soooo excited for it! I just finished the book and it's sooooo sad!!!!!! I cried!!!! I won't give away what happened that made e cry in case you people wanna read it, so, yea.

Thanks for reading! : - )
