"Not about how fast I get there.

"Not about what's waiting on the other side."

I frowned as I looked out the RV window… we're leaving tomorrow. Tomorrow we will be back in little old Albuquerque, New Mexico. I got up bright and early this morning… I don't know why. I just felt like I needed to. I was on my knees and on my leather couch, with my elbow prompted up on the edge of the window. We were already in Arizona… we had driven all day yesterday and all night. My father and Troy's took turns driving. When we get back tomorrow, we have exactly one week left of summer vacation. Then it's back to fun old school.

"Hey… you okay?" I felt Troy climb on the couch and stand behind me, arms going around my waist. "Oh yeah, I'm fine… I'm just gonna miss this… waking up in an RV every morning… waking up to you." I smiled and he turned his face to mine, pecking my cheek.

"Hey… remember, my new house… were not gonna be far away, just two streets away… I'll be able to visit you every day if I wanted." I smiled. "Yeah and you better!" I half joked, half totally serious.

He chuckled. "I will babe… we can go to school together, were gonna graduate together… we'll do everything together. I promise." I grinned at the thought. This spark went off in my head that made me realize I was very well, probably spending the rest of my life with Troy. And that just made me feel amazing…

"I love you, Troy." I could hear him smile and he grabbed my chin, and kissed me passionately. I put my hand on the side of his head and deepened the kiss. He smiled and I did too, forcing us to pull away.

"I love you too, Gabriella."

"Hello?"

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Your coming home tomorrow!!!" I giggled.

"Yes Shar, I am. Oh… and guess what?! Major news!" I could hear her jump up and down through the phone and I giggled more.

"What, what, what, what, what?!"

I smiled. "Well, I can't believe I forgot to tell you this, but part of troy's birthday present was that he moved. He sold his house, and now he lives exactly two streets away from me! And that means four streets away from you! And he's going to our school!"

"Holy crap!!! AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Oh my gosh! This is like amazing! You, Troy, Zeke and I, will be like the four amigos! Instead of three now it's four! Ooh! I'm so excited, and the last week, when you come back, we are all hanging out, non-stop, got it?!"

I grinned. The thought of hanging out with just us four is wonderful. We would be closer then ever. Oh not only did we have a whole week with each other, we had the weekend before school too, so technically nine days.

"Oh, that's going to be great. Make sure to meet me at my house bright and early tomorrow! We're already in Arizona. I have to go though, Sharpay. We all have to go grocery shopping, because if we don't we will all have nothing in our kitchen when we go home." I paused to chuckle. "I'll see you later. Bye bye."

"Okay, play boy bunny! Love you!"

I snickered. "Shut up you ho ho! I love you too, bye." I chuckled and hung up, walking out of the RV to go grocery shopping with the whole family. Fun…

--

Actually it was fun. More fun then I imagined. We all picked shopping buddies, my mom picked me so I couldn't be with Troy and My dad picked Troy… that was a little strange, but Troy looked fine with it. They had bonded the last week, talking about sports and all that kind of fun stuff… ha-ha yeah right. Then Troy's parents went together.

I smiled as I walked down the aisle with my mother. It was 7:00 in the morning and there was hardly anyone here. My high heel black boots clomped against the tile floor and it was comforting sound... I hadn't been in a grocery store in forever and I felt kind of weird being in one… I was wearing blue skinny jeans and a pink spaghetti strapped tank top. Did you know it's blazing hot in Arizona? All of my shorts were in the washer and I had to rely on skinny jeans. Eek. It was too hot for that, but in the grocery store, I was perfectly fine. Nice and cool.

"What time are we going to be arriving back home tomorrow?" I asked my mother. She smiled.

"About 11:00... So were all going to spend the whole day unpacking, Troy and his parents are going to help us unpack in our house, then were all going to there's and helping them." I smiled at the idea, at least we were all going to be together.

"Oh and Sharpay and Zeke are coming, do you think they could help out too?"

"Sure, the more the better."

"OUCH!" I yelped and so did my mother. I scooted forward, arching my back, back. I turned around and so did my mother.

There stood Troy and my father, laughing. I looked down and saw two oranges on the ground. They hit us with oranges?

"Oh, very mature, Troy." I picked up the oranges and put them back where they belonged. I smirked and put my hand on my hip.

"Who said I was mature?" Troy chuckled.

"Your right, your not." I smiled and went back to my Mother.

"Gabriella, come on, lets shop together." Troy smiled and ran forward, taking my hand. "Come on Miss Montez, can I have Gabriella as my shopping buddy?"

I faked that I was scared. "No mother! Don't make me go with him! He'll hurt me with oranges!"

"Oh shut-up and come on." I giggled and Troy took the list from my hand and replaced it with his. He yanked me along and out of the aisle. I giggled and followed him.

"Okay… this is a long list… do we need a shopping cart?" I shrugged and grabbed a cart as we walked past it. "Sure, now come along." I laughed and he did too.

"Gabriella, do you want to get in the cart?" I snorted. "Your joking right?"

"Nah, come on, it will be fun. I'll push you around, now get in." I looked at the cart with a strange look on my face. It looked… icky. It looked sticky too.

"Troy, I can't get in there, I'm wearing boots." I smiled and pointed to my high heels. He smiled and went forward.

"What are you doing?"

"Ally oop!" He put both hands firmly on my sides and lifted me up in the air. I squeaked and held onto his biceps. He smiled and set me in the cart. I crouched down and giggled, crossing my legs in a pretzel like position. I felt like a little kid again, shopping with my mom or dad.

"Your crazy, Troy." I laughed and he started down the aisle looking at the rows and rows of food.

"Yeah, I know…" He smirked. "What's first on the list?"

--

It was fifty minutes later and I was surrounded by food, drinks, and little house hold appliances. I felt so constricted. But I was relieved when I saw my parents in line, ready to check out with their food and other items. Troy pushed me to them and they looked at me confused.

"Gabriella, what on earth are you doing in there?" I smiled and pointed to Troy. "He made me go in here." I giggled and they did too.

"Now get me out of here, Troy." I held onto the bars of the cart and stood up as best as I could. Troy smiled and grabbed my waist again, lifting me in the air and onto the ground. I laughed as he tickled my side. I stepped back and stretched my legs.

"Ouch… leg cramp." I chuckled and stretched my arms too.

"Okay, guys… help us get all this stuff out of here." My mother instructed.

--

I smiled as I crawled into my bed. I was dead tired and couldn't wait to go to bed. Troy crawled in beside me and snuggled me up in his chest.

"Today was fun… we should go grocery shopping more often" I smiled as Troy said that… a picture ran through my brain. Troy and I were married and had a little baby with us… and we were all shopping together. I shook my head… I was still in High School, now in12th grade. It was to early to be thinking like that. But soon… I had this feeling that soon that picture in my brain would be real and not just a picture.

"Troy… do you ever picture us when were older?"

Troy nodded.

"What do you see?" He smiled at me and kissed my nose.

"I know that I'm gonna be with you the rest of my life… we'll go through our last year of High School together, we'll graduate, go to prom… go through another summer together… I want to go to college with you, Gabriella… where are you planning to go?"

I smiled. "University of Albuquerque… you?"

"I was thinking the same thing…" He held my hand and looked me in the eyes. "Lets go there together… okay?" I smiled. Troy couldn't be more perfect… it's impossible.

"Yes… let's." I smiled. "What about after that?"

Troy blushed and turned serious. I giggled and reached forward, kissing his lips, sweetly.

"Come on, Troy… tell me, I have a feeling I'm thinking the same thing as you." Troy smiled.

"I think so to. I want to marry you, Gabriella… be with you forever. You're my soul mate… I know it. And as cheesy as that sounds, you are. I can feel it, hear it… I know it."

I grinned and hugged Troy around the neck. "Troy… you're the best boyfriend ever… I love you so much…"

"It's the Climb."
