Chapter 36-Finding Freeway & The News
Hey guys, thanks again for the awesome reviews. I came to the conclusion that ending the story right now wouldn't make any sense seeing as how I have a bunch of ideas for this story, and none for a sequel so I'm not ending it now.
"Ring! Ring!" Sharpay ran down the stairs and into the living room to grab the phone "Hello?" she said breathing heavily. "Hey Shar...having a wild time while I'm gone?" Troy asked laughing. Sharpay laughed "Oh yes, you should so be here, it's a shame you're missing all the fun...I'm just joking. I was upstairs so I had to run down here to answer the phone." Troy laughed "Not as fun as having a wild time, but it'll do. I just called to let you know that Ryan and I might be a bit late today. We ran into a bit of a problem." In the background Sharpay heard Ryan say "Can't you go any faster Troy?" Sharpay smiled at that "Thanks for calling. I'll let Gabi know and I'll see you later. Love you." "Love you too Shar. Bye." Troy hung up the phone and continued driving, not taking his attention off the road. "You know, I really don't think there's anything wrong Ryan." Ryan shrugged "Me neither, but we should check anyway." Troy pulled off the road and into a parking lot. He and Ryan got out of the car and walked into a building.
Meanwhile, Sharpay walked outside and saw Gabi sitting by the pool with Brooke. "Hey Gabi." she said walking over to stand beside her. Gabi jumped and looked up "Hey, who was that on the phone?" Sharpay sat down and tickled Brooke, which made her giggle "It was troy, he told me that he and Ryan were going to be late because they ran into a problem." Gabi looked confused "What kind of problem?" Sharpay shrugged "I don't know, he didn't say." Gabi was about to say something when they heard a knock at the door. Both Sharpay and Gabi got up, Gabi picked up Brooke and they walked inside. Gabi opened the door and saw Kelsi and Jason standing outside. "Kelsi, Jason. C'mon in you two, what brings you here?" They both stepped inside and Kelsi smiled "Where's everyone else? We want you all here for the news." Sharpay walked in holding Autumn and smiled "Troy and Ryan are out, we;re not sure where but they called to tell us they were going to be late, so we have to wait until they get back." Riley came walking down the stairs carefully "Unca Jason!" He hurried over and Jason knelt down scooping him up onto his shoulders. "Hey Riley. How've you been?" Riley looked at everyone from his high seat and smiled "You all tiny, me big." Gabi laughed "Yeah you sure did grow...mind telling me your secret on how you got tall so fast?"
Riley looked at Gabi "Me no tell." Jason put him down gently and Riley gave him a hug before running to Kelsi and giving her a hug as well. He looked over at Sharpay "Hungry mommy." Sharpay smiled "Alright, I'll make you some scrambled eggs." Riley ran into the kitchen and Sharpay looked at everyone "Let's take our conversation into the kitchen." They walked into the kitchen and Jason sat down grinning "We hadn't really planned on having to wait. I wonder if Kelsi will be able to keep quiet." Kelsi gigged "I can keep my mouth shut. I do hope they get back here soon though." Gabi nodded "You and me both, I want to know what the problem was." Sharpay was standing at the stove "At least they called this time so we're not worried." She finished the eggs and placed them in front of Riley. "Thanky mommy."
Troy and Ryan were sitting outside the building and a young woman came in a handed something to Ryan. "Here you go, everything seems fine. You might want to come back in about two weeks or so." Troy smiled and nodded "Alright, thanks alot." They shook the young womans hand and headed back to the car. "Let's get back to the house, the girls are probably wondering what's up." Ryan said, doing up his seatbelt. Troy started the car and backed out "I'm sure they are. I'll get there as fast as I can." 15 minutes later they pulled into the driveway and saw Riley playing with Autumn in the grass. As soon as Troy got out the car, Riley went over to him yelling "Daddy and Unca Wyan are back." Troy picked up Riley "Hey buddy, we're you good for mommy?" Riley nodded "Yup, I was pwaying wif Awdum." Troy smiled and kissed him on the head "Awesome, why don't you run inside and make sure everyone closes their eyes and doesn't peek. Including you."
Riley grinned "Ok daddy!" he raced inside and Troy could hear him telling everyone to close their eyes. Troy looked down and picked up Autumn. "Hey cutie, let's go suprise mommy and Auntie Gabi shall we?" Troy and Ryan walked quietly into the house and saw everyone with their eyes closed. "Alright guys, thanks for closing your eyes. Shar? Can you give me your hand for a minute?" Troy asked putting Autumn down. Sharpay nodded and held out her hand, which Troy took and put it on top of something furry. "Eww, Troy what is that?" She asked, jerking her hand back. Troy laughed "Why don't you open your eyes and find out for yourself." She opened her eyes and gasped "It's a puppy." Sure enough in Ryan's arms was a german shepard/black lab mix puppy. "We found him at the edge of the freeway near where me and Ryan meet for lunch. We named him Freeway." Everyone gathered around and pet the puppy until Troy put him down. When he did Freeway immediatly started playing with Riley.
Gabi gave Ryan a hug and Sharpay gave Troy a hug before turning to Kelsi and Jason. "Alright, all 4 of us are here. What's the big news?" Kelsi squealed "We're getting married. Jaons asked me last night and I said yes."
Woo hoo, sorry it took so long to update, school is crazy right now. Love you all for sticking with the story.
