( Gabi's House, In the Backyard )
Everyone is in the backyard, setting up for the sleepover. Or in Gabi's words, Couples Therapy. Jason, Chad, Ryan and Troy were setting up the tents. Zeke was in the kitchen, making everyone snacks. Gabby, Kelsi, Taylor and Sharpay were sitting on the ground, preparing all the games.
Gabby : Ok. We'll play all these couple against couple games. And of course, the boys against girls games. Sharpay come and help us.
Sharpay looked down from the stool she was sitting on.
Sharpay : Are you crazy???? This is Dolce and Gabbana!! Not for sitting in!
Gabby sighed.
Gabby : Fine. Can you at least go and help Zeke in the kitchen? You can wear an apron.
Sharpay wobbled up from the stool and walked towards the door. Jason came over to get more pegs. Kelsi stared at the girl's tent.
Kelsi : Why is our tent all slanted?
Jason looked at the tent, turning his head.
Jason : I never said I was a boy scout. That's Chad's thing.
The girls turned to Chad, who had put up the boy's tent perfectly.
Taylor : Aww little Chad was a boy scout.
Chad : ( mimicking Taylor's voice ) And I regret it all.
Layla sat on the ground, near a large bush. Jason saw her and went over.
Jason : Hey. Why are you over here?
Layla stared at him.
Layla : Because I shouldn't have moved from Brooklyn. My brother's an idiot and its causing the only friends I have tons of trouble.
Jason sat down next to her.
Jason : Explain to me how that's your fault.
Layla : Because I had a choice. Meeting Sharpay was just a misunderstanding, but after that, I could seriously have talked Josh out of it. We could have moved back! But I couldn't talk Josh out of trying to be Arnold. He's more like a Benedict Arnold.
Jason laughed.
Jason : See? Its not your fault. He betrayed you, as sick as that sounds. Just enjoy yourself tonight.
Layla : Hello? Remind me what this is called again?
Jason : Couples Therapy?
Layla : Yeah. Zeke and Sharpay, Troy and Gabby, Chad and Taylor and you and Kelsi. You guys are my friends, that includes Ryan. What are we supposed to do?
Jason smiled.
Jason : I have an idea.
He walked over to Kelsi and Ryan, bringing Layla with him.
Jason : Guys, Layla needs a couple. Obviously Ryan is good, but that wouldn't be any fun. How about we switch the couples around a little?
Kelsi : Like how?
Jason : Ok. This is supposed to help relationships, right? Ryan, you can go with Sharpay. Zeke can go with you Kels, and I'll go with Layla.
Kelsi forced a smile.
Kelsi : Sure, whatever. I'll go tell Zeke.
She walked away quickly.
Layla: Is she okay?
Jason looked at his girlfriend, walking towards the door. She turned around and saw him and smiled.
Jason : Yeah. She's fine.
( Later, at night in the living room )
Everybody was totally full. Most of the contests that the guys came up with involved eating, so it wasn't exactly a happy ending. Except Sharpay.
Sharpay : Thank god I'm on a diet!! Why did you guys eat so much?
Taylor : I have no idea.
Layla : I do not want to see another chip ever again.
Gabby got up from lying on the ground.
Gabby : There's only one game we can play without having to move.
Kelsi rolled around to face Gabby.
Kelsi : I like it already. What is it?
Gabi's eyes sparkled.
Gabby : Truth or Dare.
The girls groaned but the guys were happy.
Jason : Get up! Come on we have to play this.
Troy : Come on Gabby! I swear I'll lift you.
Gabby stayed where she was. Troy quickly lifted her up then sat her on the ground, sitting next to her. Jason pulled up Kelsi and placed her on the ground again. Then, much to Kelsi's dismay, he did the same to Layla. Sharpay sat down, pushing Ryan until he would move and Taylor refused to be lifted up and sat down obediently.
Gabby : Whose first?
Ryan : I'll go. Sharpay? Truth or Dare?
Sharpay : Truth.
Ryan : What's the largest number of Zeke's biscuits you have ever eaten?
Sharpay stared at Zeke, who was smiling.
Sharpay : I don't know...a whole batch?
Everybody laughed.
Taylor : Okay. For all the guys. Truth or Dare?
Guys : DARE!
Taylor : Kiss your couple!
The guys laughed. Chad gave Taylor a kiss, and Ryan gave Sharpay a sweet little sibling kiss on the cheek, which she slapped him for. Troy and Gabby kissed, then came the mix upped couples. Zeke and Jason looked at Taylor.
Zeke : Do we have to?
The girls glared at him.
Zeke : You know what I mean!
Taylor : Uhh...no. Just forget it, ok? Just give eachother big hugs!!
Jason laughed. Zeke gave Kelsi a big bear hug and Jason hugged Layla. But Kelsi still wasn't happy. And Gabby realised.
Gabby : This isn't any fun. How about Hide and Seek? Couple style. But...maybe we can go back to the normal couples for this? With Layla and Ryan.
Sharpay pushed Ryan away.
Sharpay : Be my guest!
Gabby : Troy and I will be in. Everybody start hiding!!!
She began to count. Once she was sure no one was around, she whispered to Troy.
Gabby : Jason and Kelsi need Couples Therapy. Keep your eyes open and then...
She whispered out a plan for Troy. Once he understood, she kept counting.
Troy and Gabby : Ready or Not, HERE WE COME!!!
They ran throughout the house. Troy already knew that Jason and Kelsi had hidden under the stairs, in the storage closet. He approached there silently, then locked the door. Gabby and Troy then kept running through the house, finding the others. Taylor and Chad had hidden in the study, Ryan and Layla had hidden behind the sofa in Gabi's room and Sharpay and zee had hidden in a large cabinet in the kitchen.
Gabby : Yay!! We found everyone!
Ryan : What about Jason and Kelsi?
Troy : I guess they've won.
Layla: Jason Cross and Kelsi Neilson are our winners!! Come on out!
Nothing happened. Troy and Gabby smiled.
