Trivia Answer: "Keep working left Troy."


Nothing could get any more worse for the wildcats at this moment. The ghost thing still creeped them out, like a lot. Gabriella was still afraid of the pearl, so she wasn't going to wear it today. And Troy is 'upset' cause Tiffany isn't calling back, but the gang knows that this is a good thing.

"So how much longer do we have until we have till breakfast?" Gabriella asked, as she combed her hair.

"I think about 20 minutes. But the guys might be a while." Sharpay replied.

"What, are they playing basketball again?" Taylor asked,

"Nope, they are having a popcorn fight." Kelsi stated.

"What? On the day of competitions? I mean, we want to win don't we?" Gabriella asked.

"Yep, as we all say, boys will be boys." Sharpay stated.

The girls walked out of the bathroom in jeans and t-shirts. Today was competition day, and they wanted to be comfortable. They put on their sneakers, and were ready to head out for breakfast.

"You guys know we only have to compete against one team right?" Taylor asked.

"Yeah, we know, and lets hope that the group is really easy to beat." Kelsi replied.

"Ahhhh! Stop, those are the big marshmellows." They heard Zeke cry from the other room.

"Wow." Gabriella stated.

"Yep." Sharpay replied.

"So they are dressed, but how do we get them to stop?" Kelsi asked.

"I have no idea." Taylor said.

"I think I have an idea." Gabriella said, smirking.

"Oh I know what Gabs is talking about, I taught this to her." Sharpay said, smirking.

"Ok, so this better not involve someone getting injured." Taylor warned, knowing the looks on her friends faces.

"No, it will be just fine." Gabriella said.

"Wait." Sharpay said. "Can I say something first, when we go into their room?"

"Yeah, sure." Gabriella replied.

"Watch and learn girls." Sharpay said, as she and Gabriella walked into the guys bunk.

When they walked through the door, they saw marshemellows, big and small, all over the place. Jason was on the top bed of the bunkbed, and was throwing the marshmellows off of the side. Chad and Zeke were hiding behind the bathroom door, blocking and throwing marshmellows. Ryan hid on the side of the bed and waited to chuck a marshmellow at someone, and Troy was behind the door that connected the bunks.

"Guys!" Sharpay screamed.

"What?" They all replied, coming out from their hiding spaces.

"Will you guys stop?" Gabriella asked, examining the room.

"Umm, no." Chad replied.

"Zeke will you please stop? For me?" Sharpay asked, giving him puppy dog eyes.

All of the guys stared at Zeke, hoping and telling him not to give in.

"Ummm..." Zeke started, trying to look away from Sharpay.

"Don't do it Zeke." Ryan said.

"Pwease?" Sharpay said, saying it like a baby.

"Anything for you Shar." Zeke replied, finally giving in.

"Wow." Troy stated.

"Yeah, Zeke and Sharpay having their little moments." Chad stated.

"Yeah yeah, shut up." Zeke replied. "I am nothing like Troy with Gabriella."

"Haha." Chad said, looking at Troy.

Troy just glared at Zeke, while blushing.

"At least we stopped them from fighting with marshmellows." Sharpay whispered to a flushing Gabriella.

"I am not like that." Troy replied, chucking a marshmellow at Zeke and Chad's head.

Another war broke out between the guys. The girls ducked while they watched in amazement of how fast some of the gooey treats flew.

"Boys!" Gabriella screamed. "I guess if you can't handle yourselves, then you won't be hanging around us, giving us high-fives or hugging us for the rest of the day."

Sharpay looked at Gabriella, and she gave her the you-know-that-was-a-pretty-good-idea-but-it-won't-work look.

The guys instantly stopped and looked at the girls, and at eachother.

Gabriella looked back at Sharpay and gave her the easy-as-pie look.

"Ok, we stopped." Troy replied, starting to pick up the marshmellows.

"Wow." Taylor whispered from behind Gabriella and Sharpay. "He likes, you."

"No he doesn't Tay." Gabriella replied, blushing again.

"Yeah, she is right Tay. Troy doesn't like her, he LOVES her." Kelsi replied.

"Nice one." Sharpay said, giving Kelsi a high five.

The girls turned back to watch all of the boys picking up the little marshmellows from the floor.

"That was pretty easy." Gabriella stated, as they watched the guys clean up.

"Ok so you two teams will be competing against eachother. This is a jeapordy game." The counciler said, pointing at the wildcats, and another group of teens. "New Mexico will be facing agains Massechusets. There are 5 categories, with different subjects. There will be different questions for the different amount of points you pick. The points are, 100, 200, 300, 400 and 500. The categories are Animals, Movies, Sports, Fashion and Culture. Good luck, whoever gets the most points win." The counciler said. "Oh and get behind the desks, push the buzzer when you think you have the right answer, you must discuss with your group."

The friends got behind a blue desk, this was going to be easy.

"So we each know these categories, this will be easy." Gabriella said.

"Lets just hope that the other team is really dumb." Jason said.

"Ok, team New Mexico pick your category." The counciler said.

"What category?" Sharpay asked.

"Well, how about Gabriella and Taylor choose first." Ryan said.

"Ok, that is fine with us." Kelsi said.

"Um, Animals for 300 please." Gabriella asked.

The counciler picked up a card and read off the question. "What is a group of dolphins called?"

Gabriella looked at Taylor and whispered the answer in her ear. Taylor nodded her head, and they rang the buzzer.

"A pod." Taylor answered.

"Correct." The counciler replied. "300 points for New Mexico. Massechusets you next."

"Umm, Movies for 100." A girl asked.

"Where was Dorothy from in the Wizard of Oz?" The counciler asked.

The other team sounded the buzzer, and answered. "Kanses." A boy replied.

"Correct, Massechusets currently has 100 points.New Mexico, what is your category?"

"Umm, sports for 200." Troy asked.

"What does NFL stand for?"

Gabriella hit the buzzer. "National Football league." Jason answered.

"Correct, New Mexico currently has 500 points. Massechusets, choose."

"Animals for 300." A boy replied.

"What is largest elephant in the world?"

"Ummm, asian." The boy replied, after he hit the buzzer.

"Im sorry, incorrect, New Mexico?"

Sharpay hit the buzzer. "African." Gabriella replied.

"Correct, New Mexico has 800 points."

"This is a piece of cake." Chad said. They were going to win the game.


The wildcats had won the game. They had beat the other team by 1400 points.

"Wow, we beat them!" Taylor replied.

"Yeah, they weren't that smart." Zeke replied.

2 other teams had been eliminated from the competitions and only 12 remained.

"This might be easier than we thought." Gabriella stated, as they walke to their bunks.


Ok, so nothing against Massechusets, I just chose a random state.
