Sharpay Evans loved parties. She couldn't remember a year in which she hadn't either thrown one or been too one and she blamed that on her mother. From the beginning she had been the hierarchy, the one that everyone hated but simply wanted to be like and she had been perfectly content with that. Of course, she realised that being married to the Troy Bolton also helped a lot, helping to continue with her status as top of the train. The mother hen as Ryan had once called her. Her friends and followers relied on her to go all out, to throw the best and that was what she had done this time around. Sure, it was different from the rest, no one liked the same theme for a party two or three times in a row and this one definitely hadn't been done before. Many were in purple or yellow with accordance to the celebrations but then there were those who simply had to stand out and had turned up in various shades of pink, purple, green or even red although Sharpay simply refused to stand near those certain individuals for fear of clashing with her own chosen pink colour. Gabriella Montez had also turned up in blue but after saying a quick hello to her and her roommate, Sharpay had decided that she was needed elsewhere as the hostess and had left her to her own devices. Something that she had thanked the heavens for, although Ryan had been bugging her all night to meet the girl who actually wanted to have Troy's children.
"Fine, Ryan. One meeting, okay?" Plastering a smile on her face she weaved her way through the throngs of people that crowded the house, searching for the familiar dark locks of hair. Finally catching a glance she continued her way through, hoping that Ryan would keep up with her so she could go back to telling Minnie and her new boyfriend all about Troy's little trip to McDonald's and who's fault it actually was.
"Gabriella!" She yelled over the music that was pulsing through the large speakers around the house causing said person's head to glance her way.
"Gabriella," Sharpay began again as she finally made her way next to her, Ryan on her trail. "My brother, Ryan, wanted to meet the girl who is giving me and Troysie the gift of a lifetime." The girl's eyes flickered from her face to Ryan's.
"Oh, nice to meet you, um, Ryan?" Sharpay smiled and nodded,
"I'm sure you'll find something interesting to talk about. Ryan's into theatre and dance, did you know?" She watched as Gabriella nodded with what appeared to be actual interest before leaving the two to continue their discussion.
"I'll be with Minnie if you need me Ry. Bye Gabriella!" She quickly added, the grin disappearing off her face as she made her way back to the kitchen, grabbing a drink along the way.
"Minnie, darling." She greeted her friend once again; "I just had to introduce Ryan to that awful Gabriella girl." She smirked as Minnie rolled her eyes before answering.
"Sharpay my lovely, I have no idea how you manage to put up with her. She is simply boring and as to that McDonald's episode well, she would have been out my house before you could say pink! You should be a saint!" Sharpay giggled.
"Oh Minnie! You're too kind! The only trouble with all this is that Troy finds her amusing otherwise I would have found another. It'll all be over soon though. Troy will have what he wants and we can all go back to our status and where we belong." Minnie nodded consolingly as Sharpay did her very best to look upset. The very thought of the next nine months pained her so she concentrated on what would happen after that. It was much more satisfactory.
"Shar!" She turned her head as the familiar sound of her brother's voice hit her ears.
"If you'll excuse me Minnie darling, we'll talk later. I'm sure someone else will be simply happy to want to talk to you and find out your opinion on Gabriella." Minnie nodded as Ryan reached her side.
"Talk soon Sharpay."
"Toodles!" They air kissed and then she was gone. Sharpay turned to face her brother and sighed, "Yes Ryan."
"She was positively awful. She had no sense of style or taste. To put it quite frankly, she was boring." Sharpay rolled her eyes and sipped her drink.
"Er hello? What was I trying to tell you before?" She glanced around before lowering her voice, "Now I think it's about time that everyone else found out how awful she is too, don't you think?" She glared meaningfully at her twin brother who nodded, a gleeful smile lighting up his face. She raised her voice once more, glancing round the room and spotting her next target.
"Oh Louise darling!" She glanced once more at her brother before making her way across the room. No one noticed the dark haired girl standing quietly in the background.

Gabriella Montez didn't like parties but this one really seemed to take the piss. After about the fiftieth time of hearing one of Sharpay's friends say something completely untrue about her she simply had to get away. She sighed to herself as she ascended the stairs, pushing past all the drunk couples who were making out as though there was no tomorrow. She frowned, pausing as she went to push the first door, hearing a giggle from inside which she could have sworn she had heard before. Finally finding solace in an empty bedroom towards the back of the house, she opened the door before closing it behind her and making her way to stand over by the window, looking out into the night as she brushed away the tear tracks that had begun to stain her cheeks. She shook her head, why on earth was she crying? It's not like she cared what Sharpay or anyone else thought for that matter. A small voice in the back of her head told her otherwise, gradually getting louder and making the tears worse.
"Oh, I'm sorry… I didn't realise…" Gabriella turned round suddenly at the sound of Troy's voice.
"Oh no. It's my fault, honestly, I know I shouldn't be here, I mean, it's your house and I…" She trailed off, wiping the tear tracks off her cheeks, realising she was babbling.
"I can go…" She saw him shake his head and breathed a sigh of relief, there was no way that she wanted to go back down to that party. Taylor had disappeared with Chad ages ago and she had no one else to talk too. They all seemed so shallow and she knew that by now they would all believe what Sharpay had been telling them.
"It's okay. If you feel anything like I do at this moment in time then there is no way that you ever want to go back to that party." She looked at him then as he shut the door behind him, really looked.
"But…" She frowned, confused, "Isn't the party for you?"
"Yeah." He sighed and nodded. "But most of them are Sharpay's friends, people I've only met once or twice in my entire life. Truth be told, I would say that I only really know about ten of the people down there and they're my team mates. Most of which have disappeared with some girl or other. Chad included." She giggled, she couldn't help it, thankful for the distraction he had provided.
"I think that may be my fault." He frowned at her,
"What do you mean?"
"Well, Sharpay said that I could bring Taylor and being as her and Chad hit it off so well on their first date I think they ditched the second date rule and went straight to the third."
"You mean…" He trailed off and pulled a face.
"Yeah."
"Well, it helps to explain why at least one of the doors on this floor are locked." She giggled again and placed her glass on the bedside table. There was a moment of silence before his voice echoed around the room once more.
"So why were you crying?" She glanced up.
"Oh, it's nothing."
"It didn't look like nothing to get you in that state." She sighed.
"Honestly, it was nothing. I just overheard Sharpay saying a few things but they shouldn't really bother me. I'm just being stupid." She waved a hand as though she couldn't care less when inside it felt like she was breaking.
"What did she say?" He asked her frowning.
"Just that she didn't like me as much as she portrayed and that she found me boring and corruptive and that she couldn't wait for me to have the baby and then disappear." She ducked her head, waiting for some sort of noise that indicated that he agreed with his wife instead she heard him sigh.
"Sorry Gabi. Honestly, I think half the time she doesn't really think before saying something. If it helps I don't feel the same way. I think you're doing a great thing by offering your chances of being a parent to someone else. Someone like me." Her head flew back up after she had heard the first sentence. Truth be told she felt a lot better now that she knew that he didn't feel the same way.
"Erm, thank you, I guess." He nodded and offered her a weak smile.
"So no more crying okay?" This time it was her turn to nod and smile back. There was a moment of silence before Gabriella decided that she should say something.
"Erm, so you don't like the whole party thing then?" He shook his head, stepping further into the room.
"Never was my thing. When Sharpay and me got married I even left early 'cos I got so bored. Chad doesn't understand what's wrong with me but I think it's just because I like my sleep." Gabriella nodded, the air beginning to clear until she felt comfortable and almost at home. Talking to Troy felt like she was talking to Taylor or her parents, someone she had known for many years of her life rather than someone she had only met about a month ago.
"I understand. I think there may be something wrong with me too, as well as my sleep, half the time I can't be bothered to get ready especially if it's a party like this when I didn't really want to come in the first place…" She stopped suddenly, blushing as she realised what she had just said. Jeez Gabriella, she scolded herself, now you look ungrateful.
"Oh, I didn't mean it like that. What I meant was that it was a party and I don't like them and it had nothing to do with you and Sharpay and stuff and I…" She trailed off once again as she realised how close he had gotten.
"Sorry." He frowned as she bit her lip, a habit she had picked up which she knew she really should stop.
"What for?"
"For babbling, I tend to go on when I'm scared or nervous or…" Her own breath stopped as she felt his on her face, her eyes fluttering shut against her will.
"Or what?" He whispered.
"Or… excited." She whispered back, eyes still closed. That was when he kissed her. It suddenly felt like her whole body was on fire. Every nerve ending reacting and competing with each other to touch and to feel him.
"Troy…" She breathed, as they broke apart, gasping for air, her eyes opening.
"Shhh…" And he kissed her again. Her arms snaking around his neck and her fingers grasping the tiny hairs that lay there. His arms finding her hips and lifting her up so that her legs encircled his waist. It was only as he carried her over to the bed and placed her down gently that the rational part of her brain kicked in. She couldn't and wouldn't be the home wrecker, no matter what Anna or anyone else said about Troy and Sharpay's marriage already being over.
"Troy…" Gabriella moaned as he continued placing kisses along her collarbone and shoulders,
"What about Sharpay? And the guests… they're only downstairs… We shouldn't be-" He cut her off as he placed another kiss onto her lips then began making his way down, Gabriella momentarily forgetting her side of the argument.
"Troy. This is wrong. I don't think-" He stopped then and looked straight at her,
"Brie, if you can give me one good reason why we shouldn't do this then I'll stop. For good." Gabriella racked her brains, the nickname causing her heart to beat twice as fast, the heat and desire spreading through her body and Troy's warm breath on her face, clouding her thoughts.
"Erm…" She whispered as she glanced up, looking straight into his eyes burning a bright blue with passion, which transfixed her, "The door isn't, um, locked…?" He shook his head,
"I think you'll find I took care of that…" She shook her head, trying to clear her brain but not succeeding,
"I can't… I can't remember."
His lips turning up into a smirk made Gabriella's brain turn completely to mush and she knew then that there was no stopping what was about to happen. She groaned as his lips crashed back onto her already swollen ones, kissing him back, both their tongues twirling and joining as Gabriella reached for his shirt. Unbuttoning as he too unclipped her dress before her hands made their way down to his trousers, leaving them both in their underwear.
"Fuck Gabi," She heard him whisper, his eyes looking up and down her body in a way that she would never have thought to let anyone do, "You're so beautiful." She could feel herself blushing again but could find no way to stop it. Closing her eyes she felt Troy's fingertips graze her face, over her eyelids and down onto her lips, gradually going lower and lower. He lifted her up slightly, carrying her further up the bed and placing her back down again before unfastening her bra strap and pulling the material out the way. Beginning to kiss her again, leaving a trail that felt like fire on her skin, down her neck and then onto her breasts.
"Troy." She moaned, her back arching as his hands pulled down her white lace panties, her whole body leaning into his touch.
"Gabi…" He mumbled back, suckling her neck. She knew somewhere deep down that that would leave a mark in the morning but right now she didn't care. Reaching for the top of his boxers she hooked her fingers over the waistband and pulled them down, flinging them out the way.
"Troy…" She groaned as he continued kissing her, "I… I…" She opened her eyes as she felt him move so that he was leaning over her.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" She whispered, the rational part of her brain kicking in for a brief second. He nodded, spreading her legs and positioning himself near her entrance before pushing into her in one full sweep causing Gabriella's breath to hitch.
"Troy!" She yelled, the rational part gone again, as he began to pump in and out of her. She couldn't deny how good it felt to have him inside her, linking her legs round his torso to give him better access.
"Wait for me baby…" She heard him say into her ear, his husky voice turning her on even more as he moved faster and faster, satisfying himself and her at the same time. She nodded, her brains incoherent thoughts making it impossible for her to form a sentence.
"Troy, I'm gonna cum…" She moaned, feeling her climax building and building.
"Brie…" She heard him groan once before the whole world suddenly seemed to stop as with one last thrust, white light exploded in her vision.
"Troy!" She screamed as her whole body released from the high she was on. Troy's seed spilling inside her at the same time before he collapsed to the side of her, her body going with him. She laid there for a moment, trying to regain her normal breathing pattern, her eyes fluttering closed as Troy did the same next to her.
"Brie…" She heard him ask, as their breath gradually returned.
"Mmmm…" She smiled as she looked up to his face so that brown met blue, his crooked grin lighting up his face.
"I need too…" She frowned, before realising what he meant.
"Oh…oh!" She moaned slightly as he pulled out of her suddenly feeling hollow and empty inside. He rearranged the bedclothes slightly before pulling her close once more, their bodies moulding together.
"Sleep now…" Troy whispered, her eyes obeying by fluttering shut again. A content smile on her face as her body succumbed to sleep.

Troy Bolton hated parties but this one was a lot better than any he had been too in a long time and that all seemed to be because of Gabriella. The memory of what had just happened appeared to be playing on repeat over and over in his head. He smiled as the beauty next to him mumbled something he couldn't quite make out in her sleep and moved closer to him if that was even possible. He didn't know how long they had been like this now. She was draped over his chest and fast asleep whilst he had his arms wrapped around her, kissing her head whenever she murmured or stuttered something and just watching her in all her glory. He searched his brain, trying to remember the last time he had been this happy, but nothing immediately sprang to mind. He shook his head, an image of him and Chad playing basketball at High School appearing to be the last thing but surely there must have been something before that. That was before Sharpay seemed to be the saying that came to mind, the voice that said it sounding remarkably like Chad's which truth be told had scared him slightly. He shifted, trying to get more comfortable, causing her eyes to flutter open suddenly.
"Hi." He whispered not wanting to ruin the quiet, serene atmosphere in the bedroom that they were in, although the music from the party downstairs could still be felt, the beat pumping throughout the whole house.
"Hey." She whispered back, her eyes shutting peacefully before they were once again wide open in shock. She sat up in bed, clasping the sheets to her chest as though they were her lifelines.
"Oh shit." She said, refusing to look at him but making him smile all the same, "Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit. Troy, I'm so, so sorry. I didn't mean for this to happen, I mean, it was nice sure but you're married and she's practically perfect and just… oh shit. I should probably go!" He grabbed her waist, holding in a chuckle, as she made a move to grab her clothes from the floor whilst still holding the sheets.
"No way Gabi, we need to talk this through." She stopped trying to scramble free and turned properly to face him, biting her lip in that cute way of hers.
"Do we have too?" His heart seemed to skip a beat as his eyes travelled over every inch of her face before stopping as he realised that she was waiting for him to say something now.
"I don't regret this." She frowned, opening her mouth before closing it again. She was obviously not expecting that.
"You… but… I mean… Sharpay and… you and… Urgh!" She slapped her hand to her forehead before muttering things he couldn't understand under her breath.
"Hey, hey, hey." Troy smiled properly this time as he sat up in bed next to her, taking her hand off her forehead and grasping it in his before looking up so that brown met blue once again. His head reminding him of what had happened last time they were like that.
"You're beautiful you know that?" She frowned; confused and not quite sure what to make of the entire situation making Troy's heart flip once more.
"Troy." She sighed, seeming to surrender to what her head was telling her, "I like you, I like you a lot but you have a wife. You and I both have to face that fact." He nodded, a wife that was probably more concerned with her friends, twin brother and her status as a trophy wife than with what they were up to at this certain moment in time.
"I know but we can deal with that another day, right now…" He trailed off as she ran her tongue over her bottom lip nervously. It seemed no other words were needed as he placed himself back on top of her petite frame and kissed her without a sound.
