Hey Everyone, this is my first ever Troyella fanfic! Please read and review...all reviews are welcome!
Disclaimer: I own nothing but the plot
It was closing night of the Twinkletowne Musicale; Troy and Gabriella were filled with both joy and sadness. They had loved the last month; it had been filled with singing, dancing, and rehearsals. Gabriella and Troy spent all of their free time with Kelsi, trying to make the musical perfect. Finally, it was time for the musical to finish; the whole school had the opportunity to see what had created a plethora of change in the school."Arnold, darling," Gabriella drawled in her 'Minnie' accent, as she glided across the stage towards Troy
"Oh, Minnie,"
"Arnold, when you are around, everything feels perfect. I feel as if I could reach up, fly through the sky, touch the stars."
"I know exactly what you mean. I want to break free from my past, I just want to be here with you right now."
Ms. Darbus watched from the front row of the auditorium happily, a smile creeping onto her face. Troy and Gabriella were perfect as Arnold and Minnie. They had the right chemistry, the right voices, and the right passion. Now, on closing night, they were having a flawless performance. With only one song left, Ms. Darbus was ecstatic.
As Ms. Darbus was thinking, Kelsi began to play the opening notes of "Breaking Free." At that moment, Troy began to sing, his sweet and soulful voice filling the room.
"We're soarin', flyin',
There's not a star in heaven that we can't reach"
Gabriella joined him, her soprano beautifully contrasting Troy's voice.
"If we're tryin', so we're breakin' free"
Troy:
"You know the world can see us,
in a way that's different than who we are "
Gabriella:"Creating space between us, till we're separate hearts "
Together they began to sing, in perfect harmony.
Both:
But your faith, it gives me strength,
Strength to believe

As Troy and Gabriella sang the last few notes, they stared into each other's eyes. It felt as if they were the only ones in the room.
"Brava! Brava!" Ms. Darbus began to yell, as the audience gave them a standing ovation.
Despite all of the commotion around them, Troy and Gabriella remained perfectly motionless on the stage, gazing at each other. Troy leaned in slowly and tenderly kissed Gabriella on the lips. They held the kiss for a few seconds, as the audience stared on in amazement. The audience fell silent as they stared at the couple on the stage. Then, from the back row, a voice was heard.
"Yah! Bravo! Bravo!" Chad cheered loudly for his long-time best friend Troy and new-found friend Gabriella. The audience joined Chad and began to applaud again, giving Troy, Gabriella, and the rest of the cast a standing ovation. The curtain came down, hiding Troy and Gabriella.
"Nice re-write," Kelsi said to Troy at the cast party that night, nudging him suggestively. Troy had just finished changing out of his 'Arnold' costume into a pair of khakis and a grey zip-down sweater. He was waiting for the rest of the cast to arrive at the party.
"Well, you know…the time felt right,"
"Don't worry about it, I couldn't have written it better myself."
"Thanks Kelsi,"
"For what?"
"For everything…for the help with the rehearsals, for being a good friend, and for writing the musical. If you hadn't written the musical, Gabriella and I never would have become so close."
"Speaking of Gabriella, here she comes!"
Gabriella had changed out of her costume into a pair of jeans, a white tank-top and a pair of sandals. She ran over to Troy, throwing her arms around his neck and giving him a hug. Troy staggered as she grabbed him, but quickly caught his balance. He wrapped his arms around Gabriella, letting his hands sit on the small of her back. They stood like that for a minute, until Gabriella moved away from Troy. She dropped her hands from around his neck and clasped her left hand in his right hand.
"Gabby, you were perfect tonight!"
"We both were! That was the best that we ever were!"
"I know…all of the hard work and rehearsals paid off."
Gabriella looked around quickly, then began to pull on Troy's arm gently.
"C'mon!"
Gabriella began to run out of the room, with Troy following right behind her. By the time they reached the hallway, Troy had figured out where they were going. They continued to run, hand in hand, until they reached the staircase to their special spot on the roof of the building. Troy looked around to see if anyone was watching them, then led Gabriella up the stairwell. They tiptoed up, closing the door quietly behind them.
"Troy, what did you mean by it?"
"What did I mean by what?"
"What did you mean when you kissed me on stage?"
Troy took a deep breath and walked over to the balcony.
"Gabriella, when I'm with you my life feels complete. When I kissed you, I meant it. I have been waiting to do that since the first day I met you…since the first time that I sang with you."
Gabriella did not respond. She stared up, at the stars.
"Gabby, what is it?"
"I just wanted to make sure that you meant it. I guess that I am still kind of afraid that Sharpay or one of the cheerleaders will come and make you forget about me."
"Gabriella Lynn Montez, I will never forget about you."
"Good, because I feel exactly the same way that you do. I know that we have only known each other for a few months, but I think that I am falling in love with you."
"Do you really mean it?"
"Yes, every single word," Gabriella replied, blushing slightly.
Troy walked over to Gabriella and wrapped his arms around her. She leaned in towards him, with her head resting on his chest. As Troy held her, he felt her shivering.
"Here, take this," Troy said, taking off his sweater.
"No, I don't need it,"
"Yes, you do. You're cold,"
Gabriella obliged, putting the sweatshirt on. She breathed in the smell of Troy deeply; he smelled like a fresh mix of cologne and shampoo.
Gabriella and Troy stood next to each other for a few minutes, looking up at the stars.
"That's the big dipper, and over there is the little dipper," Gabriella said dreamily
"Well, aren't you a little astrologer!" Troy joked
"I think that you mean astronomer," Gabriella replied, laughing at Troy's clueless mistake.
Troy looked down at his watch.
"Uh-oh, we better get back…we have been gone for almost 30 minutes."
"Yeah, we better go."
Gabriella walked down the stairs cheerfully, with Troy following close behind her.
