-Chapter 20: Parties Part I-
(December 20, 2009 – Los Angeles, California)
"God, is it good to be home!" Gabriella exclaimed as she entered hers and Troy's apartment which was totally decked out in Christmas decorations.
And it truly was: in the foyer which was the first semi-room that you entered when walking into their apartment, was beautifully decorated with Christmas lights that hung around each doorway. If you walked a few steps and turned left you would walk into the living room which was defiantly the focal point in the whole apartment. The living room was done in two beautiful shades, gold and white with a hint of red. The white artificial Christmas tree sat in the corner of two walls so if you looked in from the patio/balcony you could see it and if you were looking at the white fireplace you could see. It was decorated with beautiful gold and white glittered designed and just plain gold and white Christmas ornament bulbs sat on the tree along with some clear crystal snowflakes and white and white candy canes. Also on the tree was gold garland, multi-colored Christmas lights, silver and gold metallic Christmas tree icicles, and silver and gold ribbon, but topping it off was the angel that had been passed down from generation to generation in Gabriella's family, was the breathtaking angel that now sat on the top of their first Christmas tree together in their first place. The fireplace of course had their stockings hung from then while on the mantel and a little below the plasma flat screen, wall mounted TV was a little village made up of little townhouse Christmas decorations along with mini Santa's, snow people, and bears doing various things. The rug that sat in the living room was red, on the cream colored couch sat gold pillows with a white and red stripped fuzzy blanket over the back of it. On the coffee table sat a pile of crystal snowflake glass coasters, a clear crystal pedestal dish and inside the dish sat 20 or more small glass ornament bulbs in red and in the middle of the bulbs a white pillar sugar cookie candle sat, around the pedestal arrangement sat white snowflake tealight candleholders that had small white vanilla scented tealight candles in them. Outlining the balcony/patio doors were a strand of white lights and gold satin curtains.
And if you walked out the living room patio doors, you would see that they had also stung multicolored lights on the fencing, around the doorway of both the doors leading into the living room and their bedroom. So, if you walked into their bedroom through those doors, you would see that they're room was done in reds and whites.
The bed had been stripped of the black satin comforter and replaced with a white comforter and the normally black satin sheets were stripped and being replaced with red satin sheets. The pillows that had black satin pillow cases were now replaced by white pillowcases, making their whole bed look like a candy cane. The fuzzy red rugs in their room stayed the same as did the red satin curtains that were covering the balcony/patio doors, bathroom doors, and walk-in closet doors. If you glanced into their bathroom you would notice that all of the blue big fuzzy rugs and towels were replaced with red ones.
Going into the dining room you would find the beautiful wood table had a beautiful green and red plaid Christmas runner on it with a beautiful candle set directly in the middle on a clear crystal plate. The chair covers had kept their normal red satin ones, but the rug had been changed for a green one. The kitchen was done in red and gold and the spare bedroom was done in green and white.
"Well, it's good to have you home," Troy told her as he brought all of her luggage in, which surprising wasn't all that much seeing as she had taken two bags with her and came back with those plus another one which she had to buy on her Las Vegas shopping trip because she knew she wouldn't have enough room for all of her recent purchases.
"I bet," Gabriella replied before she giggled as she bent down and then giggled some more as the dogs rushed into her arms and started giving her massive kisses with their wet tongues and noses. "Oh my babies, I missed you guys so much."
"Well, they missed you too, Mamma," Troy told her before he went to put her bags in their bedroom.
"Well, Momma missed them too, Daddy," Gabriella replied back as she walked into their room and grabbed the one suitcase to carry back out into the living room.
Her fiancé then watched as she unzipped the new suitcase and pulled out neatly wrapped presents and started setting them gently underneath the Christmas tree that had a red Christmas skirt around it. With a surprised smile he said, "So, that's what you meant about shopping. I thought you were gonna come home with more clothes and shoes and whatever else it is that you buy."
"Oh don't worry, I didn't let you down. I need buy new clothes, shoes, and whatever else it is that I buy," Gabriella replied with a cheeky smile and a wink.
"WHAT?!" The future Mrs. Bolton exclaimed as did her loving and handsome, Greek God like fiancé. They both had gone out to dinner with Chad, Taylor, Zeke, and Sharpay after they had finished their midterms to find out that it was all a set up for the news and information Chad had to break to them.
"No, absolutely no!" The future married couple disagreed to the piece of news as they both shook their heads from side to side frantically.
"Oh, yes," Chad and Sharpay disagreed with them while Taylor and Zeke both looked at each other and silently decided to stay out of it because they sure didn't want to die at an early age in life.
"Oh no!" The engaged couple argued back at them.
"Yes."
"No."
"Yes."
"No."
"Dude! Come. On. It's gonna be your last night as a free man, your last night to look at all the beautiful, free, and sexy seducing women all you want," Chad told his best friend, totally forgetting his girlfriend and his "little sister" were there. "Zeke, man, don't you agree with me?!"
Zeke just looked at him with a raised eyebrow before leaning back in his chair with his arms crossed over his chest, wisely ignoring Chad's question while Gabriella, Sharpay, and Taylor exclaimed, "CHAD NICHOLAS DANFOTH!!!"
"Oh fuck," Chad mumbled before he turned to the girls and said in a sweet voice, "Yes?"
The girls all looked at him before they each took turns telling him off or calling the two best friends out, but all keeping in mind that Zeke was to get none of it. So, with a stern voice and look at both of the males, but especially towards Troy, Gabriella said, "He better not being doing that anyway and I don't care if Angelina Jolie or Jessica Simpson or Jessica Alba would pop up write in front of him in fucking bikinis! I swear to God Troy Alexander Bolton…"
"Gabriella, I would never, never, ever do that to you," Troy told her before shooting a glare at his best friend.
"Good," Gabriella told him before placing a soft, yet passionate kiss on his lips before turning towards Sharpay and saying, "Your turn, Shar-Bear."
"Thanks Brie-Ella," Sharpay thanked her best friend with a simple smile before she started attacking the boys with her words, "Alright, first I'm gonna start with Troy by saying if you ever, and I fucking mean, ever think or do touch another fucking woman that isn't the one sitting beside you that you will marry on New Year's Eve/Day I will crawl out of my bed, come into yours and Brie-Ella's apartment, and cut your penis off, and that goes for all of you guys, got it?" They all swallowed massive lumps in their throats before nodding their heads, frantically up and down, letting out a sigh Troy settled down as his fiancee's best friend began to attack her boyfriend with her harsh tone, "Zeke Lake Baylor, what I said about Troy is also true about you, if you ever, and I mean ever fool around with another girl or think about it or go to a strip club that's not for a purpose like our friend's bachelor and bachelorette parties I will defiantly cut yours off before slicing and dicing you, capish? Good.
Danfoth, I swear to God all of that and more is gonna happen to you if you take Troy to a strip club and let all of the guys get him drunk and he makes a foolish dumb mistake, no matter what kind of mistake, that will ruin Troy's and Brie-Ella's relationship I will slap you like a red-headed step child, castrate you, and then burn you alive at the stake, capish?"
"Double capish," Chad said after getting his voice back and his eyes back to their normal size before adding in a mumbled tone, "Ice Bitch.
Sharpay hearing what he called her got up and walked around that table before giving Taylor a look, and after seeing the African American girl nod, she smiled sweetly at Chad before using one of her perfectly French Manicured hands and grabbed his ear and twisted it along with some hair causing Chad to scream bloody murder….
"Brie, Baby, you okay?" Troy asked his fiancée after walking into their bathroom to find her staring off into space.
"Huh? Oh, yeah, I'm fine, just thinking," Gabriella told him as she continued to rub cream all over her body.
"Can I ask what you were thinking about?" Troy softly asked her as he softly placed his hand on her leg and gently rubbed it in a caring tone.
"I was just thinking about the night Chad told us about our bachelor and bachelorette parties," Gabriella told him as she stood up and slipped on a pair of white lace thongs before clasping the front of the matching push up bra.
"I see," Troy told her as he watched her slip her tanned and toned legs, one at a time, in the wholes of her white theory short shorts from Revolve Clothing, before pulling them up and over her butt so they could sit nicely and seductively on her hips.
"Mhm," Gabriella said with an inward smirk, knowing that he didn't hear her reply to him because he was watching her get dressed so, with that in mind she slowly grabbed her hot pink spaghetti strap cami and pulled it on and over her strapless bra before she pulled her black sequined SWISH cami from YOOX over the pink one so, you could see the black one through her see through black sequined one. After making sure her tops were on, she walked over to her fiancé and put her hand on her his muscular bicep so, she could hold herself steady as she pulled her grey-pink-grey stripe knee high socks from American Apparel that fell just a little below her knees so, she could then slip her socked feet into her white and gold Red by Marc Ecko Phranz-Phavorite sneakers by Marc Ecko, on.
"God, she is so beautiful and all mine," she heard her fiancé mumble as she turned around and stood by him to get to work on her makeup and hair.
As Britney Spears' song 3 began to play from their sound system she began to sing to it as she took her hair out of the towel her beautiful locks were trapped in and began to towel dry them before using her hair-blow dryer and drying them. After they were dry, she put some Aussie mousse in her hands before running the mousse through her beautiful hair, until she was finally done with her hairstyle which was just her waves cascading down her back and shoulders, framing her face perfectly.
She smiled as Troy took a strand in his fingers and began to play with it as she set to work on her makeup and soon finishing after only have applying smokey eye-shadow and clear glossy lip gloss that had a vanilla flavor to it.
"So, how do I look?" Gabriella asked Troy after she topped off her outfit with the T necklace, her engagement ring, a pair of sterling silver hoops, VS Secret Garden's Love Spell Body Spray, and a gold full sequined Fedora hat with a white trim.
"Beautiful, like always," Troy replied with a smile as he walked over to her and placed his hands on her hips before leaning down to capture her lips in a soft and loving kiss.
Pulling back from the kiss, they rested their foreheads on each others before they both whispered together with loving smiles, "I love you."
(East Restaurant and Lounge)
"Hi, welcome to East Restaurant and Lounge, names please?" The guy behind the podium asked.
"It should be under Evans or Danforth," Troy told the guy.
"Chad Danforth and Sharpay Evans, perhaps?"
"Yep, that's them," Gabriella sweetly replied.
"Alright, they all are waiting for you so, if you will please follow me," the guy told them before leading them to a private part of the restaurant which was closed off to VIP's only. "There you go, and if you need anything please let me know."
"We will, thanks," Troy told the guy before they walked into the room.
"CONGRATULATIONS TROY AND GABRIELLA!" They heard their friends and parents all yell as they walked into the intimate looking room.
"Aw, thanks guys!" Gabriella said before she was pulled into a death grip hug from her best friend and Maid of Honor. "Shar-Bear!"
"Brie-Ella!" Sharpay said back before she let her best friend go and after running her brown eyes up and down her best friend, she nodded her head in an approving manner and said, "Loving the slamming outfit, Brie-Ella!"
"Thanks, so your guys," Gabriella told Sharpay and the females who were going with her for her bachelorette party.
The Filipino took the time to notice each of their outfits, Sharpay's outfit was a pair of white Soffe short shorts, a red tank top that had 'Maid of Honor' in clear rhinestones on it with '12.20.2009' in white writing in the bottom right corner of it while the back of it read in pink 'Sharpay A. Evans' and then a gold outline of a heart sat under it, a pair of white knee high socks, and the same shoes as her. As she moved to each Wedding Party member that was a female, she noticed that they all had the similar outfits on, just with the appropriate names and symbols that stood for them.
"So, Dude, you ready for tonight?" Chad asked his best friend excitingly after they all finished having a small dinner with their first shot, which the parents even though they strongly disapproved of underage drinking, told them they could as long as they kept in mind the consequences and because they all knew they were responsible young adults.
"Let's see I'm gonna be separated from my fiancée for a whole night and most likely over night, so I'm not gonna lie and tell you 'yes' when the true answer is 'no, I'm not'," Troy told his best friend causing some to laugh, others to roll their eyes, and some to smile or if you were a female to aw at how sweet Gabriella's fiancé was.
"Aw, Baby, I'll miss you too, but we've got to go or else you know they'll drag us kicking and screaming," Gabriella told him, even she too didn't want to be separated from him over night.
"Just look at this way you two, it will be great practice for the night before the wedding seeing as you can't see each other the day of the wedding or the night before, except at the rehearsal dinner," Taylor told them, trying to comfort them.
Troy and Gabriella looked at each other, both knowing she was right, but they both needed one thing so, they could make it through the night, so Troy took the chance and with the courage Ms. Darbus once told him he didn't seem to lack, he asked, "Well, I have one request…no, I have one demand before we agree to this without any complaints."
"Alright, son, we're listening, what's your demand?" Jack asked his son.
"I demand that you let me and Brie have time to call each other and text each other during these…parties," Troy told him and Gabriella smiled and squeezed his hand, in her own special way telling him that it was an excellent plan.
"N…" Chad started to say, but was cut off by Sharpay who told them that his demand was granted as long as they got not complaints from them.
"I also have another demand," Gabriella told the group.
"Alright, Baby Girl, we're listening," Greg told his daughter.
"I demand that if we get too…tipsy or anything that you don't let it go too far…" Gabriella said before starting to trail off, because she had a feeling they all knew what she was saying.
"Deal," the group all agreed, knowing that if something like that would happen there would defiantly be bloodshed.
"Good," Gabriella told the group before she relaxed in Troy's arms until they had to go.

I wanna see that Hawaiian wedding,
I wanna see that blissful 'Honeymoon' phase,
I wanna see her bearing their child,
I wanna see that sweet little angel with its father's eyes and mother's features,
I Want To See Them Have It All
But... I guess I will have to wait...
