To Kiss Or Not To Kiss

Chapter 10: Dad's #1 Fan

(A/N: Remember, we're still in Albuquerque) After school, Sharpay and Ryan both went straight to the limo that was waiting for them. Their chauffer opened the door for them.

"Good afternoon, Mr. and Ms. Evans."

"Good afternoon, Douglas." Sharpay said. Ryan did his secret handshake with him and then went in the limo. Good, Ms. Evans is in a good mood. Douglas thought. And then he went to the driver's side and got in the limo and started driving. It was a fairly long limo so if Ryan and Sharpay talked, Douglas wouldn't hear it. Ryan spoke.

"So you gonna call Rayner?"

"Yeah."

"But what if he doesn't want to be part of your plan?"

"He needs to be. Besides, he owes me. And this is how he's gonna pay me back."

"How does he owe you?"

"Remember that time when we went to California to watch him film another episode of his show?"

"Yeah."

"Well, his team of stylists and wardrobe consultants (A/N: I don't know what they're called, so I just call them wardrobe consultants, you know the people who pick out the actor's clothes) couldn't make it in time because their flight back to California was delayed and he didn't have anyone to make him look good for the camera. And he couldn't put on the make up by himself because… well because he's a guy and guys don't know how to do that."

"I know how to do that."

"Yeah. But that's because you're my brother and me and mom taught you how so if there was an emergency and you suddenly need to perform, you would know how to put it on yourself."

"Oh, right."

"Anyway, you know how I always brought my make up kit with me? Well, I told him I could fix him up, do his hair, and pick out his clothes and he agreed. So I did all that, and by the time he had to go on air, he was picture perfect. So there. That's how he owes me."

"Okay, cool." Just then, they arrived home to their huge house. Scratch that. Their huge mansion. Douglas opened the door for them and they got off the limo and into their home. They immediately looked for their dad. She found him signing papers in his private office.

"Hey daddy!" Sharpay ran into the room and hugged her father.

"Hey dad!" Ryan walked into the room and just nodded at his father.

"Daddy, can you call him now?"

"Of course sweetheart. Hold on one minute." Mr. Evans dropped everything that he's doing and reached for his cell phone. He dialed the producer's number and put the phone to his ear.

"Yes, hello? Is this Harold?… This is William… How you doing?… I'm doing fine myself thanks, listen, my daughter wants to talk to Rayner Richardson I was wondering if you could put him on the line… no, no, she doesn't want to date him… uh huh… okay… great… okay…" Then he handed the phone to Sharpay. "He's coming." Sharpay took the phone and put it on her ear. She waited for Rayner.

"Hello?" Rayner answered.

"Hey, Rayner. This is Sharpay."

"Look, I'm very flattered that you wanna go out and stuff-

"Hold it! No offense, but I DO NOT want to go out with you! Why does everyone think that?"

"Oh, sorry. And none taken."

"I just wanted to ask you a favor."

"What kind of favor?"

"Just consider us even if you do this for me."

"Okay. Shoot." And then Sharpay started telling him about her plan. A couple of minutes later, she stopped.

"You sure that's gonna work?"

"Just trust me. If it doesn't, I'll go to plan B."

"Which is what?"

"I don't know yet but considering that it's gonna be my idea, it'll be great."

"Okay, I'll tell the other guys. So, I'll talk to you later."

"All right. Bye." Sharpay hung up the phone.

"So, did he agree?" Ryan asked.

"Yeah. I told you." Sharpay got back to the office and handed the phone back to her dad. It was Ryan's turn.

"Hey dad, I was wondering if you could do me a favor."

"Sure, kiddo. Anything." Mr. Evans dropped everything he was doing once again. He's a family guy. Family comes first to him no matter what. And then Ryan tells him about Sharpay's plan and finally he stopped.

"And Sharpay thought of that by the way."

"Sharpay?" He turned to his daughter. "You thought of this?" Sharpay nodded. Mr. Evans spoke again. "You, young lady are…" Oh, no. Please don't say grounded! Sharpay thought. "…Very thoughtful."

"Huh?" Both Sharpay and Ryan said in unison.

"Rayner Richardson owed you a favor and you use it to help other people. That is really nice."

"Thank you daddy." Sharpay came over to hug him. "Promise not to tell anyone I did anything nice?"

"Why not?"

"I have a reputation at school."

"Oh, okay. And whatever you need, I'll gladly help." So Sharpay told him what he needed to do.

Back in California, Gabriella was having fun rehearsing with her cast mates and when Friday came, she had to perform in front of a studio audience with cameras and microphones. She had her hair and make up done and slipped into her wardrobe and she was ready. V came up to her.

"Hey, how you doing, superstar?"

"I'm fine. A little nervous, but I can do it."

"You sure?"

"Yeah. I'm sure."

Gabriella took V's advice again and pretended that it was a stage instead of a set and her cast mates were her friends. When she did, she went through it perfectly. After filming, she went back to her dressing room. Her new fans waiting for her outside for autographs and pictures. She was nice enough to do those but after half an hour of posing and writing, she got tired and she went in to change to her regular clothes and take off the make up. Then she saw something on her dresser. It was a foam finger saying "You're #1". She put her hand in and she felt a card. "From Your #1 Fan" Rayner is the sweetest! Gabriella thought.

Gabriella was getting used to this kind of life. On weekdays, she wakes up early to rehearse, on Friday, they film, and on weekends, she chills. They get a week off every month. A couple of months later, it was summer and its almost time to go back to New Jersey.
