A/N: Ok I just have one question. Do you guys think that the idea of the dance compition with "We're all in this Together" is stupid? Because...I don't know. Can you just tell me in a reiview? Anyway, here's the next chapter:

Chapter 7: Apologies:

Back in New Mexico. Troy came knocking on our door.

"Oh hi Troy." My mom said opening the door.

"Hi. Ms. Montez. Um is Gabriella around?" Troy asked.

"Oh, um actually Gabriella went back to San Diego." My mom explained.

"What?" Troy asked.

"Yeah. She said you guys forfited the compition so she just went back to California." My mom explained.

"Oh." Troy said. "Well thanks for telling me."

"Yeah." My mom said. "Bye."

"Bye." Troy said then left. "I got to get to San Diego."

Back in San Diego. Troy called.

"Uh...fine." I said. "Hello."

"Gabi! Hi." Troy said.

"What do you want?" I asked.

"Gabi! I am so sorry about all the things I said. I just was frusterated." Troy said.

"I know. So we forfitted. Now you don't have to be frusterated any more." I said.

"Listen. I know you're in San Diego." Troy said.

"How?" I asked.

"You're mom told me when I came over to your house looking for you." Troy explained. "Anyway. I'm coming up there right now."

"What? Troy no! Just because you're sorry for the things you said doesn't mean I forgive you. I mean I understand I was a little pushy but you didn't have to be such a jerk about it." I said.

"Gabriella! I'm sorry! I know I was being a jerk. But like I said, I was frusterated! And I want to go back in the compition." Troy said.

"No Troy. Ok, I already told Sharpay to tell everyone that we forfit. It's done. We're out of the compition." I said.

"No Gabriella. Look you wanted to be in it, and it's my fault that you aren't any more. Ok we just were...uh. Come on." Troy said.

"No. Look Troy even if you do want to go back in the compition I don't." I said.

"Why not?" Troy asked.

"Because I'm not going to forgive you for what you said." I said.

"Gabi." Troy said.

"I'm sorry." I said then I hung up.

"Was that Troy?" Sarah asked.

"Yeah." I said.

"Oh." Sarah said. "But ya where are you staying?"

"At that hotel. I mean I still have that room. I have it for like another week." I said.

"Right." Sarah said.

"Well anyway. I just need to forget about everything in New Mexico for a while. And let's just like...go to the beach." I said.

"Ok." Sarah said then we went to the beach.

"Hello Gabriella." Taryn said.

"What do you want?" I asked with a mad face.

"I heard you forfited the compition." Taryn said.

"That's because I called you and told you." I said.

"I said I heard you forfited, didn't I?" Taryn said. Then I just gave her a weird look. "You know I don't blame you for forfiting. I mean you should of known from the start that we were gonna beat you."

"Ah huh. Well how much people did you have on your side Taryn?" I asked. "Huh?"

"Uh...I'd say around...10..." Taryn said.

"Oh! 30 people!" I said in her face. "You see. We would of beat you anyways."

Taryn just looked at me for a second then spoke up.

"Fine then. If you forfit the dance compition, then let's have a singing compitioin." Taryn suggested.

"What?" I asked.

"You heard me. I have a singing talent, and most people think you do. So let's have a talent show. You and your man Troy can sing a song and me and my man Jarett will sing. And we will have an audience vote to see who was better." Taryn explained.

"Ok...but first. Who's gonna pay for the Maui trip?" I asked.

"The loser." Taryn said. "Which we all know who that's gonna be."

"You're right. You." I said.

"No. You!" Taryn said.

"Oh pa-lease. You can sing?" I asked laughing.

"Yes. But you'll just have to wait til Friday to see how I sound." Taryn explained.

"Ok. Where's the compition?" I asked.

"We can have in Albuquerque. You know so you can feel more comfortable when your singing since you're in your city. You know so it gives you a fair chance of winning since obviously if it was here, I would win." Taryn said.

"What makes you think I can't win unless were where I live?" I asked.

"Oh please." Taryn said.

"Fine." I said. Friday. 5:00. My place." Taryn explained.

"Great. Where do you live?" Taryn asked. Then I wrote my address down and gave it to her.

"Be there." I said.

"Oh I will." Taryn said right up in my face.

Later on. I'm just watching tv in my hotel room. Then Troy comes in.

"Oh good you're here." Troy said.

"What are you doing here?" I asked.

"Oh come on Gabi. I said I was sorry. And I really am." Troy said.

"I know you are." I said.

"Please forgive me?" Troy said giving me a cute face. Then I just starred at him for a few seconds.

"Are you really sorry?" I asked.

"Yes!" Troy said.

"Ok. I forgive you." I said then Troy ran up to me and gave me a hug and a kiss.

"Thank you. I love you." Troy said.

"I love you too." I said. "Oh and the compitions back on."

"What?" Troy asked with a smile.

"Yeah except we won't be dancing. We're singing." I said.

"What?" Troy asked.

"Yeah. I talked to Taryn and she wants to compete with us in a singing compition. She's gonna sing with her boyfriend I'm gonna sing with mine. That is if he wants to." I explained.

"Yes he does." Troy said.

"Great thanks." I said.

"When are we going back?" Troy asked.

"Tomorrow." I said. "But it's a little tiring. I mean we've been from New Mexico to Cali. , to New Mexico, to Cali. again and now were going back."

"Yeah. I don't mind." Troy said.

"Yeah." I said.

The next day. Back in New Mexico. We are back now.

"Hello." Sharpay said.

"Hey Sharpay." I said.

"Oh Hi Gabriella." Sharpay said.

"Listen Sharpay. I'm really sorry about how much I was pushing you guys at practice." I explained.

"It's alright. I understand that you just wanted to win. I forgive you." Sharpay said.

"Yeah. Well um now were having a singing compition. It's me and Troy against Taryn and her boyfriend Jarett." I explained. "And we're gonna need some supporters."

"Oh...cool." I said.

"And I'm gonna need someone to help me pick out a slammin out fit for it." I said.

"I'm in!" Sharpay said.

"Good." I said.

"So can you call everyone and ask it they can support us?" I asked.

"Yep." Sharpay said.

"K. Thanks." I said.

"No problem." Sharpay said then we hung up.

"Great." I said.Ok now everythings coming back to me.

Later that night. I'm just laying on my bed reading a book. Then my phone rings.

"Hey Troy." I said knowing it was him.

"Hey. So what ya doing?" Troy asked.

"Reading a book." I said.

"Cool." Troy said sarcastically.

"What are you doing?" I asked.

"Walking." Troy said.

"Oh cool." I said sarcastically. "Hey what's that noise I hear in the backround?"

"Oh nothing." Troy said.

"Sure." I said. Then I heard a noise on my balcony. But I could see our because the curtains were pulled in front of it.

"So uh..." Troy said.

"Oh hold on Troy. I hear something on my balcony." I said.

"Oh that. No that's me." Troy said.

"What?" I asked then hung up and opened the door.

"Hi." Troy said.

"What are you doing here?" I asked stepping out.

"Oh I was just bored." Troy said.

"Oh." I said.

"So are you nervous about the compition?" Troy asked.

"I don't know. Because, I've never heard Taryn sing before and I don't know if she's good or bad. But I know that you are really good and you say I'm good. I just am nervous but not nervous at the same time." I explained.

"Yeah, I understand." Troy said putting his arm around me.

"Yeah." I said.

"But whatever happens on Friday, I will always love even if we lose to Taryn and Jarett." Troy said.

"I'll love you too." I said.

"But they're still going down." Troy said.

"Oh yeah!" I said laughing.

The next day.

"Ok. We got all of our friends on our side!" I said hanging up after talking with Sharpay.

"Great." Troy said.

"Yeah. And me and Sharpay are going shopping in about an hour cause were gonna go look out fits. Since Sharpay's gonna be the M.C." I explained.

"Right." Troy said.

"So tomorrow at 4:30 we have to get Sarah's stage from her house and bring it over here." I explained.

"Ok." Troy said.

1 hour later. I'm shopping with Sharpay at the mall.

"Oh look at that!" I said looking at an out fit in a store window.

"Oh let's go in there." Sharpay said as we ran in there. 1/2 hour later. We came out with 2 so hot out-fits. Sharpay got a pink sparkley tank top with blue jeans. And I got a hot pink halter top with a blue jean skirt.

"Oh man. We are going to look so fine in our new out-fits!" Sharpay said.

"I know. And it was a really good deal too. We got them for free since they saw our music video and loved it." I said.

"I know." Sharpay said laughing.

The next day. Day of the compition. Troy slept over.

"Morning." I said to Troy.

"Morning." Troy said giving me a kiss.

"You ready for today?" I asked.

"I'm ready. You?" Troy asked.

"I'm ready." I said getting up. "I'm gonna get into my new out-fit so you can see it."

"Ok." Troy said getting up as I went into the bathroom. Then I came out.

"Oh you look so fine!" Troy said giving me a kiss and checking me out.

"Thank you." I said. Then all of a sudden I smelt waffles.

"Oh. Is that waffles?" Troy asked.

"I think so." I said then we went down stairs. "Morning mom."

"Good morning." My mom said. "Waffles?"

"Oh yeah. They smell so good!" I said.

"Thank you." My mom said. "So are you guys ready for the compition?"

"Yep." Troy said.

"Good." My mom said.

Later in the day. 4:45 pm. We had everything set up. All of our friends came and all of Taryn's friends came.

"Hello everyone! Thank you for coming today!" Sharpay said into the mike. "Now right now I would like to introduce the contestants of this so called "talent show". First of all the first couple singing today is Taryn Totokini and Jarett Parson. Everyone that was their friend cheered and everyone that was are friends booed. All of my friends from San Diego came too.

"Thank you!" Tanya yelled.

"And Gabriella Montez and Troy Bolton!" Sharpay yelled. "Whoa!"

Everyone of our friends cheered and Tanya's friend booed.

"Whoa! Yeah!" I yelled.

"Go Gabi and Troy!" Sharpay said into the mike. I just laughed. "Yeah! Ok first up is Taryn and Jarett singing Beautiful Soal by Jesse McCartney."

Then after they sang everyone cheered. Well every one of their friends did. Our friends just clapped a little. Taryn we bowing. Then they walked off the stage.

"Ok. Now let's give it up for Gabriella and Troy singing Breaking Free!" Sharpay exclaimed. Kelsi was playing it on the piano.

A/N: Oh and just to let you know Kelsi is like now a famous composer. That's how they got that song at the party where they sang it.

Then we sang the song and everyone cheered!

"Thank you!" I said.

"Oh wow! In my opinion that one was the best." Sharpay said as Taryn and Jarett joined us on stage.

"Ok. Now I'm gonna collect the votes." Sharpay said then did that. And tallyed then up. "Ok. And the winner is... Drum role please."

Everyone stomped their feet.

"Oh! Gabriella and Troy!" Sharpay exclaimed. I screamed.

"Whoa!" I yelled giving Troy a hug and a kiss.

"What!" Taryn yelled.

"Oh sorry. You know maybe we should of had this in San Diego so you would of felt more comfortable." I said laughing. "Whoa!"

"AHHHHHHHHHH!" Taryn yelled. "What is wrong with you people? They stink! We rock!"

"Uh no actually the answer is You stink! We rock! Whoa!" I yelled.

"AHHHHHH!" Taryn yelled and ran off the stage. Then she came back. "Jarett, we're leaving!"

"I don't think so. You're leaving. I'm staying. I'm dumping you. And You're being dumped!" Jarett explained.

"What!" Taryn yelled. Then I was just laughing with Sharpay.

"I'm dumping you. We're over!" Jarett said.

"NO! You can't dump me!" Taryn said.

"Yes I can. Ever since I started dating you, all you've done is boss me around. But not anymore!" Jarett explained then walked way.

"ARGH!" Taryn said then ran off the stage.

"Whoa!" I yelled.

"Yeah!" Troy yelled.

"Maui here we come!" I yelled.

"Yeah you can charge everything to me." Jarett said.

"Really?" I asked.

"No. You can charge it to Taryn." Jarett said.

"Ok." I said. Then everyone came up and gave us hugs.
