Chapter 7: Getting ready:

2 weeks later.

"Ok so you two, Zac, Corbin, Chris, and Lucas I guess are the only ones going back with me." I said.

"Yep." Monique said.

"Ok. Well we go there in 2 weeks. So ya..." I said.

"Ah huh." Ashley said talking to Chris on the phone. "Ok we'll be right over."

"What?" I asked.

"Chris said that they have a surprise for us over in Chris and Lucas's room." Ashley said getting up.

"What surprise?" I asked.

"Why do you think they call it a surprise Vanessa. They call it a surprise so we don't know what it is." Monique said as we walked out the door and knocked on theres. Then they let us in.

"What is you guys?" I asked still curious.

"Ah!" Ashley said in schock.

"Oh my god!" I said.

"You guys!" Monique said as we stood in front of an awesome cake. It was awesome!

"You guys!" I said hugging Zac. Then Ashley hugged Chris and Monique hugged Corbin.

"What's this for?" Ashley asked.

"This is just a little thank you for signing on to do this movie with us again. We wouldn't want to do it with any other people." Zac said.

"Now I feel bad. Cause I mean we didn't get you guys anything." Monique said.

"That's ok." Corbin said. "But if you insist. We'll except a surprise!"

"Well we're gonna have to. I mean thank you guys!" I said kissing Zac.

"Well time to take it back to our room." Ashley said as we grabbed the cake.

"Hey! You guys aren't going to share it with us?" Chris yelled.

"Nope." Monique said laughing. Then we left.

"I can't believe they aren't sharing!" Lucas said.

"Well I think we can steal some! But before they close the door!" Zac said and then ran into our room before the door shut.

"Hey!" I yelled. "It's our cake!"

"Yeah well we paid for it." Zac said sitting down next to the cake.

"And we say you share." Corbin said.

"Fine." Monique said giving in.

"Monique!" Me and Ashley yelled.

"Sorry." Monique said quietly. Then the guys each took a piece.

"Oh well." I said then grabbed a piece too. "Oh this is good."

"Thank you." They all said.

"Well Chris are we still on for a movie tonight?" Ashley asked.

"Yep." Chris said.

"And Corbin are we still on for dinner?" Monique asked.

"What dinner?" Corbin asked.

"Well do you wanna go out for dinner?" Monique asked.

"Sure." Corbin agreed.

"Well are we still on for a movie night tonight Ness?" Zac asked me.

"Yep." I said. "But Ash are you staying at Chris's? And are you staying Corbin's?"

Then I gave them the puppy dog faces.

"Yeah." Ashley said.

"Yep." Monique said.

"Ok. That's cool." I said smiling at Zac.

2 hours later.

"So do you guys wanna go shopping?" I asked the girls.

"Sure." Monique agreed.

"Ok." Ashley said.

"Let's go now." I said.

"OK..." They said as we left.

At the mall.

"Oh this is so cute!" I said looking at a pink halter.

"Oh that is cute." Ashley said.

"I love this shirt!" Monique said showing us a green plaid shirt. It was ugly.

"Ah huh." Me and Ashley said looking at it.

"I'm gonna get it." Monique said.

"You should." I lied.

"Yeah." Ashley said.

"Ok I'll be right back." Monique said.

"Yeah. You should get it burnt." I said.

"Yeah." Ashley said.

"Well I'm gonna go buy this one." I said.

"Ok. And I'm gonna get this one." Ashley said holding out a black shirt with gold lettering spelling "Drama Queen".

"Oh cute." I said.

"I know." Ashley said. Then after we bought our stuff we put them on in the bathroom. And it looked so good on me.

"Ok. Let's go." Monique said as we walked out.

"Let's go get Orange Julius." I suggested.

"Ok." They agreed. Then we got our smoothies and sat down at a near by table.

"Are those boys starring at us?" Monique asked. I looked over to them. They were totally starring at us.

"No. They aren't starring at us." I lied facing away from them.

"Oh. That blonde guy is kind of cute." Ashley said waving.

"Remember Chris?" I asked.

"Oh he's alright." Ashley stopped waving.

"Oh look. They're coming over here." Monique said.

"Hi." The blonde guy name Jarett said.

"Hi." We said.

"I'm Jarett." Jarett said. The blonde.

"I'm Nick." Nick said.

"I'm Seth." Seth said.

"Hi." We all said.

"I'm Ashley." Ashley said.

"I'm Vanessa." I said.

"And I'm Monique." Monique said laughing a little.

"Hi." They said.

"Wait a minute. Aren't you guys like the stars of...uh..." Nick asked trying to think of the movie.

"High School Musical." I said.

"Right." Nick said.

"Wow. I can't believe it." Seth said.

"So you're Ashley Tisdale. You're Vanessa Anne Hudgens, and you're Monique Coleman?" Jarett said.

"Yeah." I said.

"Ah!" Some kids said that were listening in.

"Oh no!" Ashley said.

"Can we have your guys autographs?" One of the girls asked us.

"Uh..." Monique said.

"You know what. Let's just go along with it." Ashley said signing someones book.

"Ok." I said.

"Will you sign my fore head?" Some guy asked me.

"Uh...sure." I said signing his fore head. Then after about 45 minutes of autograph signing people stopped bugging us.

"Oh finally." Ashley said.

"Will you sign my arm?" Jarett asked me.

"Oh. Ok one more." I said. Then I signed it. "Ok. Now I'm done."

"Sorry." Jarett said.

"Oh it's ok. But I think we better get going." I said.

"Yeah." Ashley said.

"Hey guys." Zac said coming up to me and putting his arm around my waist.

"Hey Zac." I said.

"Hey Ash." Chris said.

"Hi Chris." Ashley said.

"Sup Corbin?" Monique said.

"Hey." Corbin said.

"Who are you?" Zac asked noticing the guys.

"You're Zac Efron. You're Corbin Bleu, and you're Chris Warren Jr." Seth said surprised.

"Yeah." They all said.

"Ah!" A whole bunch of girls screamed.

"Oh no." Chris said.

"Zac Efron! Corbin Bleu! Chris Warren Jr.!" They all screamed.

"Yeah. And now were leaving." Zac said then we ran away.

"You know we better get out of here before more people recognize us." Corbin said.

"Yeah." We agreed then we left.

"You know Vanessa is so pretty." Jarett said.

"And so is Ashley." Nick said.

"I like Monique." Seth said.

"Though it kind of seemed like Vanessa was with Zac Efron. I mean he had his arm around her waist." Jarett said.

"Yeah." Nick said.

"I still can't believe we met them. I mean I love that movie!" Seth said.

"You've never see it." Jarett said.

"I've seen parts." Seth said.

"Yeah." Nick said.

"Well want to go get pizza?" Seth asked.

"Sure." They agreed.

Back at the hotel.

"Ok Zac. Are you still coming to LA with me?" I asked.

"Yes. For the millionth time." Zac said.

"Well I'm sorry I just...ah never mind." I said.

"Well it's ok. I know how you feel." Zac said.

"You do?" I asked.

"Well no. But I understand. I mean your mom's in the hospital. I mean who wouldn't be frusterated?" Zac asked.

"I'm not frusterated. Uh...Where's Ashley!" I asked looking for her.

"You're right. Totally not frusterated." Zac said. "And Ashley's in the pool with they guys."

"Oh. Well then I guess I'm just gonna lay down and watch tv. I mean at least nothing can go wrong this way." I said then Zac laid down next to me. Then Ashley and Monique came running in.

"Vanessa. Zac. Kenny wants us down at the set right away." Ashley explained.

"Uh..." I said then we went to the set.

"As you all know some of the hottest movie producers from LA are coming to check out the set tomorrow." Kenny said. But we really didn't know so we were just starring at him with a weird face. "Ok. As you all don't know. And they will be looking for some dancers and singers to be in High School Musical 2's first commercial advertising it."

"Oh..." We all started talking about this.

"Uh Kenny? Do you have to be able to sing to be in the commercial?" One of the extras asked.

"No. But if you can sing then you can take one of the singing parts. But we might just have the 4 top stars, Zac, Vanessa, Ashley, and Lucas have the main parts. And then have anyone else just be like the dancers." Kenny explained.

"Oh yeah." Me and Ashley gave each other high fives.

"So tomorrow I suggest you do your best in front of them tomorrow." Kenny explained. Then we all got so excited. "But this commercial won't air until we are done with the movie."

"This is going to be awesome!" I said to Ashley.
