To Kiss Or Not To Kiss

Chapter 11: The Question

Meanwhile back in Albuquerque, school just let out, it was summer and everybody was ready for it. Including the gang.

"Are you guys ready for this?" Sharpay asked.

"Yeah!" Jason shouted.

"Let's do this!" That was Zeke.

"Okay." Said Kelsie.

"Flight number seventy-two to Los Angeles, California is now ready to board. Again flight number seventy-two to Los Angeles, California is now ready to board." The announcer said. They were in the airport getting ready to go to Los Angeles to visit Gabriella.

"That's us." Ryan said.

"Bye daddy!" Sharpay shouted and ran to her father and gave him a huge hug.

"Bye princess, I'll miss you." He kissed Sharpay's forehead.

Ryan came up to his dad and gave him a hug too.

"You too, kiddo. Take care of your baby sister for me."

"I will, dad. See you in a few."

With that, everybody boarded the plane to LA. A couple of minutes later, they were off.

During the plane ride, most of the time, Sharpay was reading a magazine, Ryan was asleep, Chad was spinning his basketball on his finger, Taylor was reading a book, Kelsie was writing poems and songs, Jason was gorging himself with the in-flight snacks, and Zeke was perfecting his recipe for cookies.

Three hours later, (A/N: I don't know how many hours it takes to get from Albuquerque to San Francisco so I just made it up) they arrived at the Los Angeles airport. Then they each got their luggage from the carousel and went outside and called two cabs. The boys got on one and the girls got on the other one, they put their luggage in the trunk, then they went in the cabs and they were off to their hotels.

The next day, they woke up a little earlier than they should because their internal clocks are still used to the Mountain Time instead of the Pacific Time. They got dressed and headed to the hotel's restaurant for breakfast. They ate pancakes, sausages, croissants, toast, eggs, etc. They each had a heavy breakfast. After they ate breakfast, they called a limo. After all, Sharpay's dad was paying for it.

They got in the limo and discussed what they're gonna do when they got to the studio.

"Okay, so you guys know what to do?" Ryan said. Everyone nodded. "All right. Let's do this."

When they finally got to the studio, they got off the limo and went to the gates. The guard interrogated them.

"Excuse me but do you have a pass?"

Sharpay and Ryan showed the guard their passes.

"But what about the others?"

"They're with us."

"I'm sorry ma'am but you have to have a pass for everyone so everyone can get in."

"Don't you know who I am?" Sharpay asked the guard. "I am the daughter of William Evans!" She shouted. Suddenly, she saw Rayner through the gates. She called him. "Rayner!" Rayner looked and saw Sharpay and Ryan waving at him.

"Sharpay! Ryan! Nice to see you guys!" Rayner said, running towards the gate. "Kev, let them in."

"I'm sorry Mr. Richardson. I'm sorry Ms. Evans." The guard named "Kev" opened the gates. Everyone piled in. Everyone was so shocked to see Rayner Richardson in person.

"So this is your crew, huh?"

"I prefer to call them, 'friends' instead of 'crew'." Sharpay said.

"Mr. Richardson, it is so nice meeting you." Taylor said. She kept shaking his hand vigorously. "I am a huge fan, I have watched your show since it came out. It is just so nice-"

"Uh… Taylor. His arm is gonna fall off if you keep doing that." Zeke said. Taylor let go of his hand

"I am so sorry. It's just that I haven't met any famous person this up close before, and I am just so-"

"Taylor!" Everyone shouted.

"It's okay Taylor. And please call me 'Rayner'. 'Mr. Richardson' is so formal. And besides, my dad already uses that name and I don't want to be a copy cat." Rayner smiled at Taylor. Taylor was looking at him in shock.

"He knows my name!" Everyone laughed.

"Of course I know your name. I know everyone's name. Sharpay has talked about everyone. You're Taylor, you're Chad, you're Kelsie, you're Jason, and you're Zeke." Rayner said pointing to the right person when he said their names.

"Did Sharpay tell you about how awesomely cool I am?" Chad asked.

"No. I think she missed that part." They all laughed. "But she was right about one thing though."

"What?" Chad asked.

"She said, you're a show-off." Everyone laughed. Including Chad.

"I'm going to pretend that I didn't hear that." Chad said, but kept on laughing.

"Come one, I'll show you guys to the set." Rayner showed everybody in the gang the set they use and the booklet of scripts, he showed them the cameras, the microphones, the props and some of the costumes that they wear. And then he gave them autographed posters of the cast. Then he showed him to Gabriella's dressing room. He knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" Gabriella answered.

"It's Rayner."

"I'll be just a second." Gabriella answered. She fixed herself first before she had to face Rayner. She wanted to look perfect in front of him. Then she went outside.

"Yeah?"

"I think someone's here to see you."

"Who?"

And then as if they practiced it, they all went into Gabriella's view one by one.

"Oh, my God!" Gabriella shouted. Then she ran over and hugged each one.

"What are you guys doing here? I haven't seen you guys in so long!"

"Well, we figured that we wanted to see you film an episode." Ryan said.

"Yeah, and we'll be hosting your farewell party." Zeke said.

"Farewell party?"

"Yeah, it's a party right before you go back to New Jersey. After all, you're not gonna see this place again until September." Kelsie said.

"But guys, you don't have to do this."

"We know, but we want to." Jason said. "You're our friend."

"Thank you guys so much!" And then they did a group hug.

"But, who paid for all the stuff?" They all looked at Sharpay and Ryan.

"Sharpay? Ryan? You paid for all this?" Gabriella asked. The twins laughed.

"Of course not!" Ryan said.

"Daddy did!" Sharpay said.

"Oh, well tell Mr. Evans that I said thank you."

"Why not now? Mr. Evans is right here." Ryan said pointing to himself.

"Ha, ha, very funny." Gabriella replied. But then a voice behind them spoke.

"Actually, he's right. Mr. Evans is right here.

They all turned to see who it is. They saw daddy Evans standing there.

"Daddy!" Sharpay shouted and ran to hug her father. "Hey princess!"

"Hey dad!" Ryan hugged him too. "How you doing, kiddo?"

"What are you doing here?" They both asked.

"Well, I just came to see how your plan is working out." When everyone heard him say "your plan" they all mouthed "No" to him because they didn't want Gabriella to find out about the plan.

"Plan? What plan?"

"Plan… uh… plan… for the… party! Right! Plan for the party!" Zeke said nervously.

"Right. 'Cause you can't have the best party without having it planned out first!" Taylor said, after him.

"Yeah! I mean, what other plans could we possibly have? I mean, if we had any, it sure wouldn't involve you and-!" Suddenly, Taylor elbowed him in the ribs before he could say anything else. She also pinched him behind his neck so Gabriella wouldn't see. "OW!" Chad shouted. Gabriella looked at him while he was rubbing his neck. "Neck cramps!"

"Oh. So when's it gonna be?"

"The party? Oh it's gonna be three nights before you go back to New Jersey." Sharpay answered.

"Okay. Cool." Gabriella looked at Rayner. "Did you know that they were planning this?"

"Yeah. I never told you but Sharpay's my friend." Rayner said. Gabriella looked at Sharpay. "You knew Rayner Richardson even before I moved to New Jersey? Why didn't you tell me?"

"You never asked!" Was Sharpay's answer.

"Gabriella, can I ask you a question?" Rayner said. Gabriella nodded. "Will you be my date to the party?"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sorry, if you guys thought that was short. I'll make the next chapter longer. I hope. You see how daddy Evans always calls Sharpay "princess" and Ryan "kiddo"? He's a real family guy.

Coming up next chapter: Gabriella's answer, the party, someone gets heartbroken

Coming up in later chapters: Gabriella moves back home. (I'll try to add more, but that'll probably be the last chapter. But I hope not! I don't want to end my story yet!)
