Awww, you guys are so nice! Thanks for all of the good reviews! Here is the next chapter!
Timing
She got ready to go to the carnival. She took a shower and put on jeans and a sweater. It was a light blue one; very similar to the one she wore when she first met Troy. She straightened her hair and put a clip to hold it back. Then put on her make-up. She wore black heels.
She then grabbed her purse and book. She sat down and read until Troy came to pick her up.
The doorbell rang and she opened it. She hugged him and kissed him on the cheek. He handed her the flowers.
"Troy, thank you. I think I have enough flowers to make bouquet of flowers for at least 10 brides."
"I'll try to bring you something else next time."
"That's sweet, but you don't have to bring me anything."
"It's a tradition kept for all men. I have to bring you something."
She smiled. "Let me find a vase to put these in first before we leave. Sit," she said pointing to the couch.
He sat down and looked around. Her place was the same as the last time he saw it.
"Okay, let's go."
They went to the carnival. Gabriella spotted a dart-throwing stand that had a giant panda in the prize section.
"Oh, Troy, win me that giant panda."
He paid for darts and threw one. He missed.
"That's okay, Troy. You have four more tries."
He threw the other four that was left.
"I've never really been good at throwing darts."
"Ah, finally something basketball star isn't good at. Here, let me try," Gabriella said as Troy paid for more darts.
She moved into a position and her arm a certain way then threw it. She made a bullseye. She smiled as they handed her the giant panda.
"How did you do that?" Troy asked amazed.
"Oh, it's a simple mathematical equation. You have to be at a certain angle with your arm a back a certain amount depending on your height and how hard you throw it." Troy looked puzzled. "And I've went to a lot of carnivals with my brother when I was younger. He taught me, but I've improved it to make it more accurate."
"Okay…"
"You want me to show you? You don't have to be a science/math freak to do this."
He nodded.
She moved his fingers around the dart and pushed him to go to the side. She pulled back his arm.
"Okay, now throw."
He threw it and made bullseye.
"Wow."
She giggled and took the giant tiger. "See, you won something for me."
They went around other places and Troy won her so much stuffed animals that they had to put them in the car. After that, they went back to the carnival.
Troy won her a giant puppy. She kissed him on the cheek. They were so close. They both started to lean in for the lips until a little kid tugged on Troy's shirt.
"Mister, aren't you Troy Bolton? The league's MVP and was a Rookie of the Year? Can I have your autograph?"
He sighed and pulled away from Gabriella. "Sure kid, why not."
He signed his shirt
"Gee, thanks!" the kid said running to his parents.
"That was nice of you."
"Yeah, sure, and that kid had good timing," he muttered.
They went on a few more rides.
"Come on, Troy, let's go on the Ferris wheel!" Gabriella said pulling him.
They got on and it went around. All of a sudden, they heard a click and it stopped.
"What's happening?" Gabriella said panicking.
"It'll be okay." Troy said holding her close.
"ATTENTION! WE ARE HAVING SOME TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES. PLEASE RELAX; WE ARE CURRENTLY DOING THE BEST WE CAN TO GET IT FIXED QUICKLY. IN THE MEANTIME, PLEASE RELAX AND IF WE CAN'T GET THIS FIXED, WE WILL GET YOU DOWN SAFELY," a person near the machine yelled.
She relaxed in his arms. She looked at the moon and then at Troy. They inched closer together and Troy leaned in for the kiss. Fireworks blasted. They pulled away and she blushed. Suddenly the ride started to move again. She giggled.
Maybe that kid didn't really have bad timing. I think this was supposed to happen at this time…
So, how was it? I think it was pretty good, but that doesn't matter, what matters is what you think. Please review!
