Title: When You Wish Upon A Star

Author: * starmindy *

Disclaimer:  If I owned them do you think they would all still be alive?  By the way, the song is "I Smile" and it's sung by Pam Tillis.

Summary: Hank asks Gabby out (yes, the Gabby from "Snowfall").

Author's Notes:  This is a happy story, but it is a tad bit depressing.  It's not really a Val/Tyler story or a Jamie/Catie story because it focus's on Hank and Gabby's relionship.  Only the chapters that I can find good songs for will be songfics enjoy the story.  Enjoy the story!

When You Wish Upon A Star

        Gabby opened the door to her locker and hit Andrew Brown who had the locker below her.  "Watch it, will you!" he said in an irritated voice.

        "Sorry!" Gabby said in a soft voice.  Today like everyday had been for the past 11, almost 12 years, had gone downhill fast, as fast she should have run in yesterday's race.

        As he she gathered up the books she needed, she glanced at a picture taped to the door of her locker.  The picture was of her younger sister Mackenzie, and her younger brother, Ian.  Both were too young to know, and even if they were old enough they would have no idea that would be the last picture taken of them alive.

        Gabby shrugged the bitter memories away and proceeded down the now vacant hallway.

Lost and alone

Lookin' for the reasons

For bein' in this crazy world

Tryin' to go on

Lookin' for the answers

To the questions

        "Gabby!" someone called behind her, and she turned saw Hank, her lab partner.  Hank had been her lab partner in the 9^th grade and every year after that they happened to be placed in the same class.  Other than science she didn't have much contact with him.  So she was a little surprised and puzzled that he wanted to talk to her.

        "I was just wondering if maybe you wanted to go out for pizza or something tonight around 6 or so?" Hank asked.  Gabby defiantly hadn't been expecting that.  She had never really been asked out before and had no idea how her mom would react.  She felt her heart flutter and knew she had to say yes.

        "I'd love to!  Should I meet you there?" Gabby asked smiling.

        "No, I'll pick you up around six.  Is that alright?" he said returning her contagious smile.

        "Yeah, it's fine.  Bye!" Gabby said.

        "Bye!" Hank replied as he began walking down the hallway.  Gabby watched him go and realized she hadn't been this happy in 11 year.

There you were

From the moment you appeared

Everything became so clear

I'm so glad you found me, boy

        Gabby felt like she was walking on thin air. Half way down the hallway she ran into her best friend Lauren.  "Hi!" Gabby greeted them.

        "Hi!" Lauren replied.

        "You won't believe what happened!"  Gabby told Lauren, as tried, but failed to contain her exicment and utter happiness.

        "What?" Lauren asked picking up on her exicment.

        "Hank asked me out!" Gabby practily screamed.

        "He did! Oh, my gosh!  When are you going out?" Lauren asked.

        "Tonight around six we're going out for pizza!" Gabby answered.

        "You'll have to tell about on the bus tomorrow.  Bye!"  Lauren said as she continued down the hallway.

        As Gabby walked she smiled when she thought about how one guy had turned her life around.

I smile when I think about How you changed my life around
