I do not own HSM or their characters

Gabriella Butler sat in her living room feeding her 12 month year old baby named Jacob Butler. She didn't seem to notice when her husband Eric Butler changed the channel to the sports channel.

'And now in tonight's headlines, Troy Bolton set a new high score for most points scored during a game. Theirs no stopping this all star player! In other headlines...'

Gabriella froze. The name 'Troy' brought back so many memories. Too many memories. Gabriella tried to control her thoughts as Troy invaded them.

Eric: "Man, I'd do anything to meet Troy Bolton! Ya know his team is coming here to Chicago. We should get tickets."

Gabriella: "Umm…" was all that came out of her mouth. She managed to nod her head 'yes'.

Eric: "Great!"

Eric was excited. Gabriella could see it. What was so special about Troy Bolton anyways? Besides his eyes, his voice…No that chapter of my life is over. Gabriella shook it off. Eric does not know about Gabriella's past. In fact he has no idea she even knows him. Gabriella only told one person about her past. Her sister-in-law Alex.

Gabriella: "Why don't we invite Alex?" she said with a shaky voice.

Eric: "Yeah!"

The Day of the Basket Ball game

Gabriella and Alex were getting ready. Gabriella wore jeans with a spaghetti strap tank. With pink flip flops. Alex was dressed in jeans with tennis shoes and a long sleeved blue shirt. Both wore their hair down. As they were applying lip gloss, Gabriella's phone beeped. She picked it up and it read:

Sender: Unknown

Message: The start of something new.
