"I think I'm going to be sick." Maria Montez was pacing the back part of the church, waiting for her cue.

"If you just breathe you'll be fine," Gabriella soothed, putting the finishing touches on her own makeup. She turned to look at her mother in her wedding gown. To be honest, she looked stunning. The bodice of the dress was one of the beaded sort, with white ribbons that laced in a zigzag manner across the back. The rest of the dress fell down in an array of white silk and lace to the floor, a long train falling down the back. Her veil fit over her elaborately curled and pinned hair. Her nervously pale face glowed under a very little amount of makeup. Gabriella smiled, looking over herself in the mirror. The knee-length lavender bridesmaid dresses she had picked out looked fantastic. The strapless dress was pleated until the bust line, where a satin ribbon was tied, into a large bow on the left side. The rest of the dress kicked out until the knee, where the dress cut off. "Mom, I swear, you'll be fine. You've got absolutely nothing to be worried about. This will all go fine."

"Gracias, Gabi," her mother said, holding her close.

When the music cue for the bridesmaids came, Lacey jumped, and Maria paled again.

"Oh no…."

"Mom! Get a grip! John is out there waiting for you!" Gabriella said, sending off the Lacey, the second and only other bridesmaid. "I'm going, okay mom? Don't forget your cue," Gabriella giggled, blowing a kiss to her mother and following Lacey out, bouquet in hand. She took her place in front of Lacey and watched as her little cousin Samantha walked down the isle, scattering the red and white rose petals everywhere. She smiled and took the little girls hand, leading her to stand between her and Lacey. Then the famous march came and Gabriella saw her mother begin to slowly walk down the isle. She smiled and turned to Lacey, who was smiling also. She offered her hand, and, shielded by Sammy's back, they squeezed each other's hands.

With her mother in place, the wedding ceremony proceeded. Gabriella couldn't help but shed a few tears when her mother and John kissed, seeing her mother's much deserved happiness made her heart overjoyed. Suddenly, the thoughts she had had of John slipped her mind. All the grief, the grudges, and the bad feelings she had were all gone. All she could see was a new beginning for them as a family.

At the reception, while sitting down at the bridal party table, Gabriella sat, staring dreamily at her boyfriend, who was talking to Chad. She watched the way his eyes twinkled, meaning that he was fully engaged in the conversation – also meaning it was probably about basketball. The way his hair screamed, "I'm desperately in need of a haircut, but I don't care" and swept just above his eyes. The way his blonde hair… Hold up! Troy's hair wasn't blonde. Gabriella shook herself from her daydream to see some blonde person sitting next to him. Gabriella was about to go into a rage, before taking a closer look to see that it was just Sharpay. She closed her eyes and took a deep, stabilizing breath. Opening her eyes again, she spotted her stepsister walking towards her, a bright smile on her face.

"What are you so happy about, it's not the middle of the night and I still haven't gotten to talk to my boyfriend!"

Lacey just giggled, looking at Gabriella.

"Oh my god, you were with Peter! You rule breaker!"

Lacey couldn't even properly deny she was so giddy.

"Ugh!" Gabriella sighed, looking down. "I want my boyfriend!"

"I'm sorry…" Lacey giggled.

"And now we'd like to have the newlyweds and the bridal party come out for the first dance!"

Gabriella sighed, leading Lacey to the edge of the dance floor, where John's brother and best friend were waiting. Lacey took her uncle's hand and led him to the middle of the floor while Gabriella hesitated at the extended hand of John's best friend.

"Come on," he said, his voice impatient. "I don't bite."

Gabriella took a deep breath and took his hand. She sighed as they assumed the dance hold at the middle of the floor. After two songs, she'd definitely had enough and other couples were starting to flood the dance floor. Even John's brother had gotten the hint that Lacey didn't really want to be dancing with him, but with her boyfriend. Not so with his best friend, however, seeing as Gabriella was trapped in the vice grip he had around her waist.

She shifted uncomfortably in his arms. "Okay, this was a lot of fun, but I-"

"What do you mean, was? We're not finished yet."

"Oh, but I think you are," Troy said, walking up beside him. "But I'm going to have to cut in now, if you don't mind."

Gabriella smiled at her boyfriend, wiggling from the best man's grip. "Nice dancing with you," she said, watching him walk off as she slipped her arms around Troy's neck. "Thank you," she said, resting her head on his chest.

He pressed his cheek against the top of her head. "Just couldn't wait to finally get you into my arms," he murmured.

Gabriella giggled, pulling herself closer and turning her head up to face him. "I love you," she said.

"I love you too, Brie," he said, leaning down to gently kiss her.

She pulled away, pushing a stray curl out of her face. "Not too much of that tonight, my grandparents are around… They still think of me as their little innocent baby."

"Yeah, well I know better than that…"

Gabriella giggled, playfully hitting his arm. "Come on, let's go sit down. Sharpay looks a little lonely."

Gabriella led the couple off towards the table where she had put all of her fellow East High students, aside from her and Lacey of course. Flopping down next to Sharpay, she sighed, moaning about her feet killing in the heels she had to wear.

"Whoa, Sharpay, what's wrong?" she asked, seeing the blonde's bloodshot eyes.

"Zeke just broke up with me. Then left."

"That mother…"

"Troy," Gabriella warned.

"I should kill that stupid little-"

"Troy!" she snapped, cutting off his rant "Go and try to find him before he gets away. See if you can talk to him – without killing him."

She pecked Troy and sent him on his way as she pulled Sharpay into the private bathroom.

"Are you okay?"

The blonde in front of her broke down. "I don't know!" she spilled.

"Did he say why?"

"No... He just said that he thought this wasn't going anywhere and we should see other people..."

"Shar, I'm so sorry..." she said, pulling her into a hug.

After a few minutes of wallowing, Sharpay pulled away from their hug and they both sank down to the ground.

"You know what? Maybe this is what I needed... Start the school year off fresh, you know?"

Gabriella nodded. "I think so... We both get a fresh start this semester, Sharpay. You're going in single and I'm going in taken by the hottest guy at East..."

Even in her angry sadness, Sharpay was able to roll her bloodshot eyes at the girl who had been her best friend since before she could remember.

"Something tells me that you're gonna be that annoying girl at the beginning of the year who starts every sentence of the first week of the school with, 'Well, this year at summer camp…'"

Gabriella giggled, resting her head on her best friend's shoulder. "Yeah, that will probably be me…"
