Okay, I have no idea how I got in this update, but I did. You all have no idea how much homework I'm given every night. Plus, I have to research for my new story.

The last Top Reviews and the new Reviewer Awards for this story (boohoo):

1. Goes to PinkJelly, she mentioned practically all of my review policy things. She also wrote a big summary about why she loved it. And it was probably the longest review I've ever recieved. So PinkJelly recieves the Random Phrase Award.

2. Goes to marebear11 for saying purple socks. Why would I put someone as number two for saying they hated it? Because she said purple socks because she loves it and hates that its ending. So she wins the I Hate It Because I Love It Award.

3. Goes to xXsomeone.will.bleedXx, I know I said I wouldn't put any more repetition reviews in the top, but I made an exception. I had to, it was so long that my hand got tired from scrolling. So xXsomeone.will.bleedXx wins the Repetition Award.

4. Goes to zanessafan19, who not only wrote a long, complimentary review but also complimented my grammar. One thing I can't stand is bad grammar. Like, if a story has terrible grammar then I cannot read it. My mind won't let me. So zanessafan19 gets the Grammar Award.

5. Goes to xlovelyloserface because when I read her review the first thing it said was "OMG! I LOVE YOU!" That kind of jumped out at me. So xlovelyloserface wins the Betty's Biggest Fan Award.

7. If you won an award but I can't list it here I will send you a PM congratulating you and telling you your award. And guess what? There's no number six. Haha, did anyone notice that?

Disclaimer: I don't own HSM.

And I present to you the final real chapter of the story "Homecoming War".

Chapter 14

Epilogue

5 Years Later (5 years after that day at the park)

"Stop pacing, it'll all be fine." Taylor assured Gabriella.

Gabriella sat down on the maroon couch and sighed. She traced her finger along the design on her white dress.

Gabriella was about to get married, and she was sitting in a room set aside by the church especially for the bride.

"But what if it's not okay? I mean, what if he has second thoughts?" Gabriella worried. Sharpay laughed.

"Please, Gabriella. The chance of Troy having second thoughts is about the same chance of a meteor striking us at this very moment." Sharpay joked.

Gabriella looked around the room. Her mother was peering out the door, watching everything going on outside. Her bridesmaids, Sharpay, Kelsi, Taylor, and Martha, were all checking each other's dresses. She looked out the window and saw a swarm of bushy hair poking out from behind a bush.

"Taylor, get your boyfriend to quit spying on us." Gabriella demanded.

"Fiancé! He's my fiancé!" Taylor corrected her as she made her way over to the window.

"Hey, James Bond, leave the bride alone on her big day." Taylor yelled. Gabriella heard a faint "no".

"Fine, then I guess I just won't marry you." Taylor threatened. After a few moments, she looked over at Gabriella victoriously.

Gabriella laughed. She put her hand to her head and touched her veil to check if it was still in place.

"Bridesmaids need to go into the church, right now!" Mrs. Montez called. Sharpay, Kelsi, and Martha all ran out of the room. Gabriella walked over to Taylor for support.

Gabriella's mom ran over to her side. "Um, Gabriella? It's time to get married." She announced. Gabriella smiled as her mind went back to that night three weeks ago.

Flashback

Troy and Gabriella were lying down on a blanket under the stars. Gabriella looked over and saw Troy reaching into his pocket. She wondered what he was doing, but then just shrugged it off.

"Um, Gabriella?" Troy said, his nerves rattling his voice.

"Yes?" Gabriella asked.

"Do you know what today is?" Troy questioned.

"No, I can't say that I do." Gabriella answered. Troy smiled.

"It's five years later. So, um, will you, uh, marry me?" Troy asked, lifting up a diamond ring.

"Oh my god. Oh my god! Yes! Yes, yes, a thousand times yes!" Gabriella screamed. Troy slipped the ring onto her finger. Gabriella, unable to contain her joy, grabbed his face and kissed him.

End Flashback

Gabriella smiled at the memory, and took her mother's arm. It was time to get married.

HSMHSMHSM

Troy stood in the front of the church. Beside him was his best man, Chad, and his groomsmen, Ryan and Zeke. Of the three only one was married, which was Zeke. He and Sharpay had gotten married two weeks after they graduated college.

The organist started playing and Troy felt his heart speed up. He turned to face the door, waiting for Gabriella to enter.

Suddenly the doors burst open, revealing a blond haired little girl walking down the aisle. It was Liliana, Sharpay and Zeke's two-year-old daughter. Next was a young boy, Troy's cousin Robby. The next to enter was Taylor, the Maid of Honor. Finally, Gabriella and her mother walked through the doors. (Gabriella, Liliana, and the bridesmaids' dresses are all in profile)

Troy's heart skipped a beat when he caught site of Gabriella. She looked amazing. When she finally reached him, he took her veil and lifted it behind her head.

They both smiled at each other, and then turned to the priest to be wed.

4 Years after 5 Years Later (9 years after that day at the park)

"Mommy? Can the baby hear me when I talk to him?" A little girl asked, placing her face on Gabriella's swollen stomach.

"Yes, Katie, but we don't know if it's a him or her." Gabriella laughed.

"Well, I want it to be a boy, because I already have a sister." The girl announced. Gabriella glanced over at the girl identical to Katie running around the yard with her father.

"Okay, but I can't control whether or not it's a boy or girl. Why don't you go play with Jenny?" Gabriella suggested. The four-year-old girl ran off to join her sister. Troy walked over to Gabriella.

"How's my baby doing?" Troy asked.

"He's fine, although he has been kicking a lot lately." Gabriella told him. Troy put his arms around Gabriella.

"That's great, but I was talking about you." Troy whispered into her ear. Gabriella giggled.

"Well, I should probably get some rest. Being eight months pregnant is not an easy business. But hey, it's easier this time. I don't have to carry around twins." Gabriella admitted.

"Gabriella, everyone's coming over tomorrow. And did you hear? Sharpay's pregnant again." Troy laughed.

"Oh, come on, Troy. It's just their third child. We're going to have three children." Gabriella defended her friend.

"Yes, but this is your second pregnancy, and this is Sharpay's third. I mean, in five years her and Zeke will have six kids." Troy pointed out.

"Oh, well. What about Kelsi? She just had a child. And Taylor is three months pregnant. What about them?" Gabriella asked.

"Well, the child Kelsi just had is her and Ryan's only child. And Taylor and Chad are having their second child, not third." Troy argued. Gabriella laughed.

"Whatever, all of our kids will be in the same grade." Gabriella mentioned.

Troy smiled, and then helped Gabriella into their house. He knew it, in five years time Sharpay and Zeke would have six kids. Those two just couldn't keep their hands off of each other, literally.

5 Years after 4 Years after 5 Years Later (14 years after that day at the park)

Gabriella sat down in a lawn chair. It was Katie and Jenny's 9th birthday party, and there were fifteen screaming kids running around their yard.

"Mommy!" Both Katie and Jenny called.

"Look what Uncle Ryan got us!" Jenny said.

"It's a puppy!" Katie smiled.

"We named her Frances! Oh, and you'll never believe what happened!" Jenny exclaimed.

"Timmy, Faith, and Lizzy…" Katie said.

"They made a band. Timmy…" Jenny interrupted.

Katie picked up where her sister let off, "Play's the piano while…"

"Lizzy sings and Faith plays the guitar." Jenny finished. Gabriella couldn't help laughing.

"You two give me such a headache when you finish each other's sentences." She complained.

"Sorry mommy!" They both said at the exact same time.

Gabriella laughed as the two ran towards the group of children in the middle of the yard. She sent Troy a look and they both walked over to the group of kids.

"Okay everybody. It's time to have a three-legged race. Pick a partner." Troy yelled. Everyone scrambled around, grabbing their friends.

"Okay, now Zeke is going around tying your ankles together. The first one to reach Kelsi wins!" Troy yelled.

"Ready, set, go!" Gabriella yelled. She laughed as the pairs all tried to direct their walking.

After much teamwork, Liliana and Daisy, Sharpay's second oldest, won. Sharpay ran over and congratulated her daughters.

Troy had been right; Sharpay and Zeke had six kids. They had Liliana, who was 11 years old, Daisy, who was 10 years old, Brad, who was 5 years old, and Timmy, Lizzy, and Faith, who were all 4 years old.

The only reason they had so many kids was the fact that Sharpay's fourth pregnancy was with triplets.

Gabriella suddenly broke out laughing. Troy looked at her questioningly.

"What's so funny?" He asked.

"It's just that this…this is all I've ever wanted. A great family, great friends, a great job, a great husband." She smiled.

"Yeah, this is all that we've dreamed of. Remember how we got together?" Troy asked.

"Homecoming. How could I forget?" Gabriella giggled.

"Yeah, that was one crazy year." Troy confessed.

"But it was the best all the same." Gabriella said, leaning in to kiss her husband.

As their lips met, they felt just as much sparks as they had felt the first time they had kissed.

"Ew! Mommy's kissing Daddy!" Freddy, their 5-year-old son, yelled.

9 Years After 5 Years after 4 Years after 5 Years Later (23 Years)

Gabriella and Troy were sitting in their kitchen, drinking coffee. Soon their kids would come home from school. Jenny, who now went by Jen, and Katie were now seniors in High School, and Freddy was in 8th grade.

They heard the door open and two pairs of feet rushing towards the kitchen. Frances immediately jumped up and ran to the door.

"Mom! Dad! Guess what?!" Jen yelled.

"What?" Troy asked.

"Jen is nominated to become Homecoming Queen!" Katie giggled. Both twins began to jump up and down excitedly. Troy and Gabriella's eyes widened.

"Did you guys know that East High has its own tradition? The Queen and King win a date!" Jen screamed.

"Yeah, Jen's just excited because Andrew is running for King." Katie added. Jen turned and smacked her sister on the shoulder. Andrew was one of Jen's friends and her secret crush.

"I just hope I win. Do you guys remember when you ran for King and Queen?" Jen asked. Troy and Gabriella exchanged glances.

"Yeah, we remember." Gabriella said.

"Cool. We I hope that Kelli doesn't win. Her and her Kelli Klones are plain evil." Katie huffed.

"Yeah, we're gonna beat them into a pulp! Did you get too competitive Mom?" Jen asked.

"Um…of course not!" Gabriella lied.

"Well, I dunno. I told Andrew that I'm not really into the whole competition thing." Jen remarked.

"Here we go again." Troy muttered under his breath. Gabriella laughed, ignoring the questioning looks from her daughters. She told herself that Jen wouldn't do what she herself did, but in her heart she knew that that was a total lie.

It looked like there was another Homecoming war coming their way.

Okay, I thought that that was terrible. Except for that last line. I love the last line. Anyway, don't give up on this story yet! READ THIS NEXT PART!!!
