At Dinner
Disclaimer: I own nothing but the plot in this fanfiction that I have created. The portrayal behavior between these characters are created by me. If you leave a rude review, expect a rude reply. Enjoy reading:) In this chapter, I only own Ryan's wife.
At 4:45, Gabriella clocked out and drove home. She looked at the answering machine. No one left her a message. She got in the shower. About 5 minutes later she got out, put on her robe and towel dried her hair. She went to her walk-in closet, and began picking out what to wear for the celebration dinner. She decided a dress that went down to half the length of her shins. The dress was blue with a darker blue and purple pattern on it. She chose blue shoes, and a purple purse. She blowdried her hair and left it curly. Gabriella dressed, put on purple eyeshadown and some light blush, and brushed her teeth. She looked at the clock. She noticed it was 5:45, so she grabbed a purple jacket that was a bit longer than her dress, and drove to Olive Garden.
--
Practice was finally over at 5:30. Troy took a shower in the shower room, blowdried and combed his hair, and put on his clothes. He was wearing a white dress shirt, jeans, brown loafers, and a black blazer. He had brought his toothbrush and toothpaste. So he brushed his teeth. He was ready within 10 minutes. He got in his car and drove to Olive Garden. He arrived before everyone else, so he picked a table since he reserved the whole resturaunt. He ordered his food and waited.
--
Gabriella arrived within 10 minutes. She walked into the resturaunt and saw Troy. She walked over to the table he was sitting at, sat down, and ordered.
"Hey!" Gabriella said with a smiled.
"Hey. How ya doin'?" Troy said with an even bigger smiled.
"Good. And you, lunk-head basketball man?" Gabriella said. (A/N: Everyone uses that!)
"Just great, freaky math girl." Troy said. They laughed, and Gabriella read across the table and punched him playfull on the arm. Their food came.
--
At 4:45, Taylor got in the shower. She was out with 5 minutes. She put on her robe, blow dried and straightened her hair, and put on her dress. She put on the dress she bought yesterday. It was pink and had white butterflies down the sides. She put on white ballet flats, and a pink butterfly barret in her hair. Like the blue one Maddie wore in the Free Tippy episode of The Suite Life of Zack and Cody. She grabbed her white purse, and was out the door at 5:45.

Once practice was over at 5:30, Chad took a shower. He blow dried his hair, and put on jeans, a blue dress shirt, his black blazer, and loafers. He also brought his tooth- paste and brush, so he brushed his teeth. At 5:45, he drove to Olive Garden. He saw Taylor sitting with Gabriella and Troy, talking to Gabriella, and walked over to them. He sat in between Taylor and Troy.
"Hello Chad." Gabriella said. Taylor didn't really notice him walk in. She turned her head toward him and smiled. He put his arm around her waist.
"Hey Gabriella. Hey Taylor." Chad said. He smiled back at her and she gave him a small kiss on the lips. Gabriella and Troy looked at each other and got up, with disgusted looks on their faces. They weren't acting childish, it was just a disgusting site, to see your best friends making out with the tounges exploring, and saliva exchanging. Ew. They went outside to wait for everyone to arrive. They invited Troy's parents, Gabriella's mom, Sharpay and Zeke, Chad and Taylor, Jason and Kelsi, Ryan and his wife Chelsea, and their families. Sharpay was pregnant with twins, and Chelsea was pregnant with triplets. They also invited Martha Cox. (A/N: Martha was the girl who loves hip hop dancing.)

Once everyone arrived, Troy and Gabriella went back inside. A waiter handed them each a microphone. They made sure that the mic's were turned on. When they were they spoke.
"Good evening everyone. Thanks for coming to our celebration dinner." Troy began.
"Yes, we thank every one of you. When I first moved here to Albuquerque, I thought I wouldn't have any friends. But I had met Troy, Taylor, Kelsi, and Martha, and everyone else. And I fit in perfectly. That is, until Troy and I got a callback for our high school musical." Gabriella said.
"Then everything got a little freaky and out of control. Our friends tried to break us up, and all it did was hurt us. But then, I came to the rescue!" Troy joked. Everyone laughed.
"Yeah, you did Troy. And from then on, you were my little Hercules." Gabriella also joked. But she kind of meant it. She really did think of Troy as her hero. Her Hercules. Troy smiled, and everyone laughed.
"Well, anyway. Let's eat!" Troy said. Troy and Gabriella turned off the microphones, handed them back to the waiter, and went back to their table. They finished eating and began walking around, talking to their guests. Troy's father appeared at his side, and Jack mumbled to Troy "We need to talk." Troy told Gabriella he'd be back and followed Jack into the men's room.
"How could you do this to me!" Jack exploded once they got there.
"Do what to you?" Troy said. He was confused.
"Purpose to Gabriella! She's the girl who made you become unfocused on basketball!" Jack screamed. The resturaunt got quiet and everyone heard them. But Troy and Jack hadn't noticed.
"Dad, she isn't a problem! She's the love of my life. She's actually the best thing that has ever happened to me! The only memories I had was about basketball! I can finally look back to high school and notice that 11th grade wasn't just basketball! It was finally something more. Something more was what I wanted." Troy yelled back.
"Troy Drake Bolton. I've known you since you were born. Basketball is the best thing that has happened to you ok." Jack yelled, smiling at the word "basketball". "If you wanted something more, you got it. You learned more than just everything there is to basketball."
"Dad!" Troy screamed. "Is that all you talk about! BASKETBALL! What about your loving wife! Do you ever talk about anything but basketball!" Troy had exploded. "I know about how you were in your high school musical at East High, Dad. I know that's how you met Mom. You think it's a mistake but look where it landed you! You got a wife, and then you had a son. My life is what you wanted, except for 11th grade." With that said, Troy walked out. Gabriella was now crying. She hadn't meant for her fiancee and his father to fight. Troy ran up to her but she ran outside, and sat on one of the benches. Troy looked confused, and ran out after her.
--
"Gabriella?" Troy asked softly once he was outside. She turned her head a bit and looked at him. He walked over and sat next to her. She watched him the whole time.
"What's wrong? Why're you crying?"
"I'm the reason you and your dad were fighting." Gabriella said. Jack had walked outside and saw Troy run after her. He listened to them.
"Well, my dad doesn't matter. What matters tonight is just you and me." Troy said. Jack glared at Troy's back. Gabriella was speechless. And then, just then, Jack realized how much they were in love with each other. The way they looked at each other, the way they spoke to each other, all said "I'm in love with you and nothing else matters to me anymore." Jack walked over to them.
"Troy, Gabriella. I wold like to apologize for the way I have treated your relationship. Troy, I can't make you do everything I want you to do. And Gabriella, I'm sorry for the way I talked about you." Jack said to them. They forgave him and Gabriella gave him a hug. The three walked inside.
--
The rest of the night was a blast! There was dancing, karaoke, and of course, eating. Troy gave Gabriella a long, passionate kiss goodnight. And that night was one of the most special nights to both of them, ever.
I know. It's pretty short, pretty long. It took a while to type because my sister made me get off in the midst of writing. So please review!
Love,
Ashley (love RUSH)
