Dreaming

As Troy, Gabriella, Taylor, Sharpay, and Ryan stood outside the doors to the room where their fate would be decided there was a buzz of excitement and slight nervousness. Their plan was simple enough to realize. Troy, Gabriella, Taylor, and Chad would keep the school board busy while Sharpay and Ryan deleted the access codes Taylor had originally used to cut the power and heat the chemicals in the science lab. Once those were gone then there would be no evidence against them except Sharpay's phone call which they would take off the record with Taylor's instruction manual. So the four of them stepped into the courtroom ready to defend themselves (in other words they were going to lie)

"East High versus West High for control of the basketball championship and scholastic decathlon trophy. Albuquerque school board President Warren Thompson presiding. Defense we'd like to hear your opening statement." Warren said reading off the papers that had been left on his desk.

"Time to stall" Troy whispered in Gabriella's ear

Dreamings not easy

(Original song by me)

Troy: We shoot for the stars

Because in our hearts we know

Gabriella: That we've got something

Special to show

So we can't hide

We have to let the world see

That dreaming's not easy

All: We let the fire burn

As we yearn for something great

But we'll keep on going

Despite all the hate

Because we know

That we'll never grow

If we can't show

The world who we are

Chad: Now it's time

For our light to shine

With beauty divine

Taylor: Despite the mountains we climb

Were gonna find

That things can't be easy

Or we wouldn't be

Who we are

Gabriella: Because we never let anything tear us apart

So we keep on climbing

Because we keep on finding

Troy: That dreams always come true

Maybe not always for me and you

But we don't let it stop us

We've got to believe

So we can achieve

And receive our blessing because

All: We let the fire burn

As we yearn for something great

But we'll keep on going

Despite all the hate

Because we know

That we'll never grow

If we can't show

The world who we are

Now we've got a plan

To make you understand

That dreamings not easy

In this weary world of ours

That's why we reach

And shoot for the stars

As they made their statement Ryan kept lookout for his sister as she brought their plan together full circle. The call was deleted but the codes were taking a little bit longer than expected though.

"Ryan is anyone coming?" She shouted

"No keep going." He whispered back

(Back in the courtroom after the plantiff's statement )

"Well it seems that these kids have done something wrong haven't they." Warren said "But how could they get to codes of that caliber?"

"I have a record of this little prank under power codes on my laptop." West High's lawyer called out

"Let us see these records"

So the lawyer went to her computer and pulled up the East high power grod status from that very day to find a chicken elmo dancing on the screen and the proof was gone.

"What is this nonsense!" Warren shouted furiously "Case dismissed East high you maintain your integrity and championship."
