I forgot what day it's supposed to be in the story, so I just made it Friday. LOL. By the way, really sorry for the lag in updating, as usual. Even though it's summer, I'm still busy. I don't know how that happened. LOL. But yeah, I have summer school coming up, but it's only 2 hours a day, soo hopefully that wont get in the way of me updating regularly. This chapter is kinda short, but ENJOY!

"Alright, well, would you like to join Gabby and I tomorrow?" Troy asked.

"What's the occasion?" Mrs. Montez asked.

"It's a surprise." Gabriella said with her fingers doing air quotes. "He wont even tell me." She pouted.

"Well..." Mrs. Montez started.

"You can't say no." Troy chuckled. "You can't make up any excuses because one; Gabby told me your off tomorrow. Two; Gabby says you always wake up early anyways. Three; I think an offer like this is too irresistible to give up." Troy said.

"But what about Martin?" Mrs. Montez asked.

"He's got a park day tomorrow. Right buddy?" Troy turned to Martin.

"Yep!" He said Happily.

"See. Jeremy, Chad, Taylor, Camille, Ryan, Jason, Kelsie, Zeke, and Sharpay are all going, and they already agreed to take Martin there." Troy said.

"Geez, you came up with everything didn't you." Gabriella rolled her eyes.

"You bet. So how about it Mrs. Montez?" He asked.

"Well, I guess since you've already got everything covered, I'd love to." Mrs. Montez laughed a little.

"Great! I'll be here to pick you two up at 5 then." Troy smiled.

"Five!" Gabriella exlaimed.

"That's how many fingers are on a hand." Martin said out of nowhere, making Troy and Mrs. Montez laugh.

"You mean 5am?" Gabriella asked.

"Yep. Is that a problem?"

"No, it's just, isn't it still dark out then?"

"Exactly. We need to get an early start."

"I guess."

"I think I'm gonna head over to Chad's. Wanna come?" He asked Gabriella.

"Hm, I suppose, Taylor is probably over there helping him with homework, so I don't have to watch you two play basketball alone." She laughed.

"Oh! Can I come, please Troy?" Martin begged.

"Only if it's alright with Mrs. Montez and Gabby." Troy told him.

"Mom, can I go?" Gabriella asked.

"Yeah, can we go?" Martin gave her puppy eyes.

"Yes, you both can go, just don't be home too late since we all have to be up early tomorrow according to Troy."

"No problem Mrs. Montez. I'll have them back early." He said on their way out.

"See you later!"

They arrived at Chad's house to find the whole gang there outside in the backyard. Mrs. Danforth let them in, so they went straight to the backyard.

"Having a party without us?" Gabriella asked, standing on the porch with Troy and Martin.

"Hey guys." Chad laughed. "Naw, since we all had homework, we thought we'd all just work on it together."

"So you guys are having a homework party?" Martin asked.

"No, we finished our homework a while ago." Chad said. "What's up Martin? I haven't seen you in a while."

"Nothing much." He shrugged.

Gabriella made her way to the table that the girls were sitting at, and Troy and Martin joined the guys on the court to shoot some hoops.

"Hey Gabby." The girls said.

"Hey guys." Gabriella said taking a seat.

"So where'd you and Troy go?" Taylor asked.

"Just to my house. We talked to my mom for a bit, then decided to come here to see what Chad was up to." She responded.

"Well, we've basically been sitting her just talking." Kelsie said.

"Hey, do you guys know what Troy is up to?" Gabriella asked.

All girls gave each other a look, causing Gabriella to think that they were hiding something.

"Alright, what are you guys hiding?" She asked.

"Nothing." Sharpay said quickly.

"I'll take that as a YES, you do know."

"Okay, fine. Yes, we do." Taylor gave in.

"I don't!" Camille said.

"Hmm, I'll tell you later then." Sharpay said.

"Hey!" Gabriella said.

"What? Well, Troy told us today, but we're not allowed to tell you." Sharpay said.

"You guys! C'mon." Gabriella pleaded.

"No. Hence the name "surprise"." Kelsie said.

"Ugh, how's it a surprise if my mom is coming along?" Gabriella pouted.

"Your mom is going too?" Taylor asked as Gabriella nodded.

"Aww, you're so lucky Gabby, Troy is such a sweet guy." Kelsie said.

"Uh, Kels, you've got Jason. He's sweet too you know." Gabriella laughed.

"I know, but I meant, like getting your mom involved with it."

"Yeah, I've got to agree with Kels on this one. It is pretty sweet." Sharpay said.

"Yeah."

"Wait what?" Camille asked confused.

"Oh, right. Haha, come with me and I'll tell you. I'm thirst anyhow." Sharpay said getting up.

"Alright" Camille said getting up from her seat as well.

"You girls want anything?" Sharpay offered.

"No thanks." The other girls replied from the table.

"Watch your back Camille, Gabby might follow to listen." Sharpay joked. Gabriella gave her a look. "Just kidding Gabby."

After a few minutes Sharpay and Camille came back outside after Mrs. Danforth gave them water.

"Oh my gosh Gabby, you'll love it." Camille said taking her seat again.

"Ugh, just stop telling me you guys. The suspense is killing me." Gabriella said.

"What's suspense?" Martin said, walking up to the table.

"Oh nothing you need to worry about right now." Gabriella said.

"Hey Marty!" All the girls said.

"Hi Sharpay. Hi Taylor. Hi Kelsie. Hi Camille." He smiled.

"So why are you playing ball with the guys?" Kelsie asked.

"Are they not letting you play! Because I'll beat them up if you want me to if they're not letting you play." Taylor said.

"No, no. They're letting me play. I'm just tired." He replied.

"Oh. Haha, well, you just tell me when they're being unfair." Taylor winked.

"Okay." He laughed.

With Troy and the guys.

"Hey guys, I'll be right back, I have to make a call." Troy said excusing himself from the basketball game they were playing.

"Alright. I need a break anyways." Chad said, laying down on the court. Troy walked away far enough so no one would hear, especially Gabriella.

"Hello? How may I help you?" A woman answered the phone,

"Hi, I have a reservation for tomorrow, but I'd like to see if I could make a slight change."

"Your name sir?"

"Troy Bolton."

"Bolton.. Bolton.." She said as she typed the name into the computer on the other end of the line. "Ah yes, here it is. Bolton for two at 7am? Correct?"

"Yes." He answered.

"And what is it that you'd like to change sir?"

"Well, I was wondering if change it for four people instead of two. Is there any chance I can still do that on such short notice?"

"Uhm, let me check..." She replied. Troy could hear the typing on the keyboard, he looked around him to make sure no one was listening to him, which no one was. "Yes, you can still change it. Does that mean you want to get a bigger basket? Or two separate?"

"Uhm, two separate ones if possible, please."

"Alright, let me just double check if we have any more..."

"Okay."

"Well, Mr. Bolton, looks like you're in luck, someone else just canceled theirs earlier today, giving you another spot."

"Really? Then I'll take it."

"Alright, that'll changer your to---" She began, but Troy cut her off.

"Oh, um, I know the family that owns of the company. They said, I could get it for half price overall?" Troy said hopefully.

"Hold on, I'll ask Mr. Higgens." (a/n: He's the owner, made up name...LOL)

"Alright." Troy said. After about two minutes of being put on hold the woman came back to the phone.

"Mmmkay, Mr. Higgens said that's true. So, your total is still the same as before, and we'll see you and your three guests tomorrow morning Mr. Bolton, and remember to be here by six. Is there anything else I can do for you?"

"Yes, I'll remember, thank you so much, that'll be it."

"Alright, you have a good evening."

"You too. Bye." Troy said as he hung up his phone, and walked back to the basketball court. But before Troy fully made his way back to the court he reminded himself that he still needed to call Mr. Montez, so he took out his cell phone again, and called Mr. Montez. Mr. Montez had given his number to Troy while Gabriella was shopping just in case if something were to happen.

"Hey Troy." Mr. Montez greeted on the phone.

"Hey Mr. Montez."

"Something wrong?" Mr. Montez asked concerned.

"Oh, no. I was just wondering if you'd like to join Gabby and I tomorrow morning if you're not busy."

"Hmm, sure. I'm off tomorrow. What time?"

"5am."

"Wow, that's pretty early Troy. Why so early?"

"It's a suprise for Gabby, and I'm not telling anyone just to be safe." Troy laughed.

"Alright."

"Oh, and uhh, Mrs. Montez is coming as well."

"I'm not so sure Troy. She and I kinda aren't on good terms."

"Exactly." Troy smiled. "She doesn't know you're coming, I'm gonna have them both blindfolded on the drive to the place."

"What are you up to Troy Bolton?"

"Just trying to help my girlfriends parents talk to each other again. Maybe play cupid." Troy chuckled.

"Fine. Only because I want this too." Mr. Bolton caved in. "But I don't want to be blindfolded."

"Alright, you just can't talk then until we get there so Mrs. Montez doesn't freak. But Gabby will know that you're there though."

"Alright, so I''ll see you tomorrow then."

"Yep. I'll get your address from Gabby and pick you up first."

"Okay. See you."

"Alright, bye." Troy hung up and walked back to the guys.

Everyone stayed at Chad's for a while. Troy asked if he could drop off Martin the next morning, and Mrs. Danforth said she would be awake early to open the door for him. Troy, Gabriella, and Martin left early ready for the next day to come.

Haha, I've been working on this "suprise" date thing since the beginning of the first story, and you guys get to finally find out what it is in the next chapter. Well, REVIEW PLEASE. I'll try to get another chapter up tomorrow. byeeee
