Hi Everyone! I'm glad that you enjoyed that last chapter! It was probably by far the best work I've ever had, that and my one-shot "Two Years Ago" which is also a Troyella.

Anyway, about this one. This takes place about two days after the wedding. It starts out in the morning where Gabriella in sitting on the bed. Let's continue with reading...

CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX

Gabriella sat down at her bedside, shuffling through the pictures that she picked up the pictures of the most amazing day of her life. Her wedding day, it's a day she would never forget. The butterflies that continually danced in her stomach during the whole ceremony, the way her body shook but stopped once Troy touched her, and the love in his eyes when he said 'I do.'

The sound of the shower could be heard from the bathroom. Troy had woken up a bit later than Gabriella so she had the time to shower and get ready before they would leave...for Hawaii. That was what they had spent the rest of the money on, their honeymoon.

AJ barked quietly and pushed the door open. He trotted over to Gabriella's feet and begged for her to pick him up. Gabriella smiled to herself and picked up her baby...well before they would actually have a real one. She placed him on her lap and continued looking at the pictures.

There were multiple ones of just Troy and Gabriella and they were both in so many of them. She came across one that caused her to chuckle. It showed Troy and Chad standing by the chocolate fountain and they had chocolate all over their faces. Gabriella and Taylor had some sweet kisses after that incident, where Troy still states that Chad started it.

AJ barked at the photo, as if he was laughing and snuggled closer into Gabriella's chest. She smiled down on him and pet his head.

"I'm so sorry that you missed all this fun AJ," Gabriella whispered, "And I'm sorry that I'm gonna have to leave you for a week. I wish I could take you with me, but me and Troy want some time to ourselves."

He turned his head and looked up at her. His eyes read "But I could leave you two alone. Please take me with you."

Gabriella giggled at the sight. Yeah, her baby was extremely bright. "No, I'm sorry but I can't. You'll have a good time with Sharpay."

Gabriella's cell phone rang, causing her to place AJ back on the floor and go over to her purse. "Hello?"

"Hey Gabs!"

"Hey Trevor. How's your trip back home?"

"We just took off. We'll be back in New Mexico in a couple hours. Anyway, how are you getting along?"

"I'm just waiting for Troy to finish so we could get going."

"Might I add that you looked absolutely stunning the other day? Troy's one lucky person."

"Thanks Trevor. Might I add that if Christine heard you, you would be dead right now?"

"I love Christine, but I'll never forget what we had, even though it's in the past. Listen, I'm not trying to come between you and Troy, but I just want you to know that I love you and always will."

"Aww...Trevor I love you too, but not that way. I love Troy and he's the only one that my heart belongs to."

"I know. I've gotta go, but I hope you have fun on your honeymoon!"

"Bye Trevor."

"Bye Gabs."

They both hung up and Gabriella placed the phone down on the drawer, letting out a sigh. Trevor still loved her, even after all those years. It must've killed him to see her go down the aisle and marry Troy, but he never said anything, not even when the priest ask if anyone had an objection.

"What's wrong Gabi?" Troy asked, lifting her up around the waist.

"Troy! Put me down!" Gabriella screamed, her feet flailing helplessly.

"I heard the sigh," Troy retaliated, placing her feet down on the floor and giving her a kiss on the forehead. "What's wrong?"

"It's Trevor..."

"What? Is he alright? The plane didn't get in an accident, did it?"

"No, nothing like that." Gabriella walked over to the bed and plopped down on it, her hair spreading out across the bed. "It's the fact that he still loves me."

"He does? I thought that I had Christine?"

"He loves her too, but he just told me that he still loved me. That he'll never forget what we had that he will always love me. It must've hurt him so much to see me walk down that aisle."

Troy sat down beside her. "What about you?" he asked carefully, not wanting a recap of that one summer.

"I mean sure, yeah he's my first love, but nothing will ever come between me and my true love."

"Who's this true love? Have I met him yet? And doesn't he know that we're married?" Troy joked, lying down beside her.

Gabriella laughed, turning to her side and drawing circles on Troy's chest. "Yes, you know him. Yes, you've met him. And yes, he knows that we're married."

"I'm gonna go beat this guy to a bloody pulp. Who is he?" Troy continued, stifling his laughter.

"No, you shouldn't go beat him into a bloody pulp. If you do, I wouldn't be able to go to Hawaii with him."

"He's stealing our honeymoon too? Okay, now this guy's gonna get it," Troy kidded, "Who is he?"

"The man I'm married to, a certain Troy Bolton."

"Well, okay that makes everything better," Troy answered. He placed a tender kiss on her lips, which she didn't hesitate to return. He climbed on top of her, letting his hand slip down the backside of her jeans.

After a minute or so of allowing him to grope her butt, Gabriella pushed him away, smiling. "You know you're a bad influence for our baby."

"We have a baby?"

"I meant our little puppy AJ, who was smart enough to probably smart enough to leave the room," Gabriella replied, "Not saying that I didn't enjoy it or anything because I did, but you should probably be more careful in the future." She got up and readjusted her jeans and went over the suitcases, checking to make sure that everything they need for the trip was away.

"Gabriella, I waited for months! Months! Several long grueling months. Months where I almost exploded from waiting. Couldn't I have just a little fun?"

Gabriella got up and placed a quick peck on his lips. "I didn't say that you couldn't have fun. I just said that you should've been more careful when you wanted to have fun."

"Fine, you win. I'll just wait for Hawaii when we're all alone. No body to walk in on us, which would be totally scary might I add, and no little puppies to worry about. Just you and me."

"You know what? You sound a little too eager."

Troy and Gabriella laughed, bringing down the bags that they needed for the trip downstairs. They found AJ sleeping soundly in his little bed and Gabriella gave him a little pat on the head. The doorbell rang and Troy went over to answer it.

It was Chad and Taylor, although Taylor did have this wary look in her face. Gabriella showed up beside Troy and instantly knew that Taylor couldn't come into the house.

"Hey Chad, Taylor! What brings you over?" Troy asked, opening the door wider to allow Chad and Taylor in.

"We just wanted to say bye before you went away for the week," Chad answered, taking a step in.

"I'll stay out here with you Taylor," Gabriella quickly said to make sure that her friend wouldn't be left out.

Troy and Chad ventured inside the house and closed the door behind them as the girls went to the backyard by the pond. Once they took a seat by the gently running water, Taylor pulled her friend into a hug.

"I'm gonna miss you so much Gabi!" she exclaimed, nearly choking her friend.

"I'll miss you too Tay!" Gabriella responded, letting her friend hug her.

Taylor get go of Gabriella's neck and took a hold of her friend's hands. "To tell you I would miss you wasn't the only thing that I came over to tell you."

"What else would you want to tell me?" Gabriella asked, a questionable look on her face.

"Have you and Troy done 'it' yet?"

Gabriella looked around her, her eyes wondering around the garden before answering. "Umm...no. Why?"

"Well, when you do decide that you want to do 'it'..." Taylor pulled her friend closer to her, whispering in her ears.

----------------------------

"How long until you two leave?" Chad asked, pouring himself some soda.

"In a couple hours. We've still gotta meet Sharpay and drop AJ off that with her," Troy answered, taking a seat by the kitchen table.

Walking over to AJ's bed, Chad bent down and examined the dog. "I guess this is AJ?"

"Yeah, that's him."

"So you're telling me that this is the dog that kept interrupting you every time that you and Gabriella got cozy?"

"Hey, he's a smart dog. Learned to leave us alone now too."

"Wow! That is a smart dog. Too bad I couldn't pet sit him for you. Taylor's allergic to dog fur."

"I've heard," Troy replied. Chad took a seat next to his best friend and kicked back, putting his feet on the table, taking a sip from his soda.

--------------------------

"No way!" Gabriella shouted, pulling away from her friend. "Where did you come up with that idea?!"

"Just a little something that Sharpay told me about. Gets them every time," Taylor answered, grinning.

"It's genius!"

"Well, you know Sharpay. She's always had a knack for things that are more socially accepted."

"That reminds me, we've gotta go drop AJ off with Sharpay before we go."

"I probably should get going anyway," Taylor answered, getting up. "But before I officially go, I'm gonna give you this." She handed her friend a box and gave her a wink. "I think you'll know when to use it."

Gabriella watched as her friend walked away and went to the front door, ringing it and waited for Chad. "How does she come up with these things?"

----------------------------

"Gabi! Come on! We're gonna be late for the flight!" Troy called, pulling her along by the wrist.

"Hold on Troy! I've just gotta give Sharpay one more thing!" Gabriella yanked her wrist away, allowing Troy to go give their tickets to the lady at the desk in their terminal. She walked over to Sharpay, Ryan, and Kelsi, giving each of them a hug. "Bye you guys! I'm gonna miss you so much!"

"I'm gonna miss you too Gabriella," Ryan said, embracing one of his friends in a hug.

"I hope you and Troy have a fun one in Hawaii," Kelsi stated.

"I hope you have a great tour. Thanks for playing at my wedding. You sounded amazing," Gabriella answered.

"Thank you and I will." Kelsi and Ryan both walked away, heading toward Kelsi's terminal for when she would leave.

"Sharpay, before you go, please take care of AJ. He's like a baby to me."

"Don't worry Gabriella. I'll take amazing care of AJ. I'll treat him like he was one of my own," Sharpay answered, holding him in her hands.

"Thank you Sharpay. I dunno know how to repay you," Gabriella answered, petting AJ on the head.

"Don't sweat it. Go. Just have fun on your honeymoon," Sharpay replied, placing AJ down on the floor and embracing her friend in a hug.

"Good bye Sharpay," Gabriella returned her friends hug before turning her attention to the puppy on the floor. "Bye-bye to you little AJ. Mommy will miss you so much!"

AJ barked in reply and gave Gabriella's hand a good lick on her hand before she started heading toward the desk. Gabriella placed her bag down on the floor and showed the lady her ID.

Sharpay watched her friends talk it out with the lady when she got a phone call. It was her boyfriend. She took a seat down on the chair, temporary forgetting about everything.

-------------------------

Ryan returned to the spot where Sharpay was, but he noticed that something was missing. Sharpay was missing one person...or rather a certain puppy she was supposed to look after.

"Shar, where's AJ?"

Sharpay looked down at her wrist. The red leash had disappeared. AJ had gotten loose from her. Both Ryan and Sharpay ran over to the main desk and asked if anyone had reported a spotting of a little yorkie. They had the entire security guard search the area, nothing. That only meant one thing.

---------------------------

"The doors have now been locked. May everyone please fasten their seatbelts? The plane will be taking off momentarily," the pilot reported over the speakers.

Gabriella and Troy both fastened their seatbelts, entwining their fingers together.

"Hawaii, here we come," Troy stated, stealing a quick kiss from his wife's lips.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Hm...where could AJ have gone off to? That is probably the question on your mind. Well, I'm the only one with a definate answer right now. That and what Taylor told Gabriella. Let's just say I'm gonna have fun with the next couple chapters.

While I'm thinking of that, there are probably gonna be 3 -4 chapters of this story left. Maybe some more if I can think of a couple things, but there are gonna be less than 10 chapters left. Which is a bad thing.

But the good thing is that it will give me time to work on the new Troyella ideas that I have in my head. Just a brief announcement for you guys. Hope you have fun reading the rest of this. And please review. I don't normally ask, but I am for this chapter. I just really want to know if you guys are on the same wavelength as me on where AJ is.

Lotta love,
Kat
