Gabriella watched from her spot on the beach as the sun rolled down the hills. She marveled at the beauty of the ocean waves, as they were streaked with the sun. Gabriella decided to have a day for herself, because after tonight it would be crazy. Anal retentive Taylor was already crying over small details that won't matter come tomorrow . Gabriella had received three phone calls, one at 3:00am, Taylor needed someone to calm her down. Gabriella knew what Taylor was going through, Gabriella was an anal retentive bride. Everything had to be right, poor Chris had gotten so many calls until Gabriella realized, it didn't matter. What matter, was Chris and her were getting married. Gabriella got up from her spot, and walked back to her house.
About three months ago, Gabriella decided to make the trip back to New York, her agent had called and said Avenue Q directors were ready to kill for her. Apparently, some old Rent tapes had fallen into some pretty prominent hands in Broadway. According to Gabriella's agent, the agency were fighting off directors who'd stalked to find Gabriella. By this time, Gabriella, with a lot of help from Kelsi and some professional help, had decided to make peace with Chris's suicide. There wasn't any way Gabriella could change the past but she had a hand in her fate.
A month ago, Gabriella had made a comeback with Avenue Q. For one month straight, the show was sold out, with amazing reviews in major magazines like Time, and Rolling Stone. This week, Gabriella was all Taylor's, and she had become Taylor's comfort zone. The wedding was an amazing event, complete with string quartet and and doves. Gabriella was kept up to date with the lavish plans by Troy, who called her regularly from New Mexico. Teaching at East High had made Troy very happy, and even found a pair of students who reminded him of Gabriella and himself. The most amazing part when 2 weeks ago, the whole gang met up in New York, they came to see Gabriella perform as Kate Monster n Avenue Q. It was a fun time, the whole gang shop, dined out and partied.
Gabriella waved to the car that was slowing down in front of her. Troy jumped out, and almost looked panic.
" Taylor's having a complete melt down, where have you been" Tory was out of breath, and sound panicked.
" Sorry, I was taking some time to myself, I had my phone off." Gabriella blushed and apologized.
" Why can't I be that smart." Troy grinned and helped Gabriella into his car. They would be going back to Taylors, in which Troy would get lost, and Gabriella would stay, a long with Kelsi to celebrate Taylor's last night as a single girl.
The night went off with no hitches at all. Troy got lost, mentioning something about taking Chad to a bar. Gabriella spent the night, talking about the golden years of high school, twinkle town and drinking a bit. The next morning and day flew by that Gabriella had to keep her mind in order. Troy, and herself did an old rendition of " What I've Been Looking For" with Kelsi on the piano. It was a beautiful ceremony, Taylor looked beautiful and Chad looked handsome. The wedding ran smooth, and by the time Chad and Taylor were leaving for their honeymoon, Gabriella, Kelsi and Taylor all stood in group hug, crying, Taylor whispered thank you to the two girls, and Kelsi whimpered congratulations. Gabriella and Kelsi hung on to each other, wiping tears from their eyes and crying out goodbye. They all waved goodbye until Chad and Taylor's car was far away in the distance. Tonight, the happy couple were heading for a fancy hotel and than leaving for Mexico early in the morning.
Gabriella woke up, it was 3:00pm in the afternoon, she quietly got out of bed and yawned. The left over crowd, Gabriella, Troy, Kelsi and Jason never got home until a little after 6:00 am. Gabriella hosted them over at her house, it was so much easier to do than to have them all drive to their own separate locations. Gabriella walked into the kitchen, Troy had just woken up himself and was having a cup of coffee.
" Man, you look as bad as I do" Gabriella giggled.
" You could never look bad, you're to pretty" Troy complimented her, causing Gabriella to turn red.
" So, what are you doing to do, I feel a little lonely with Taylor there to depend on me" Gabriella took a sip of her coffee and added more sugar.
" Same, I don't know, I guess I miss not having a girlfriend" Troy said, truthfully.
" Same, I guess I miss the partnership and the companionship." Gabriella smiled.
The two looked at each other, and that's when fate brought them back together you see. It was almost like a journey, or fate playing a cruel joke. From that moment, Gabriella and Troy decided to start seeing each other, romantically. They both fell in love, like they did in High School. Everyone around them, knew it was going to happen. They had to wait for fate to step in.
