"Sweetie, time to wake up." Mrs. Montez said opening the door to Gabriella's room.
"I don't want to mom." Gabriella mumbled, pulling her blanket over her head.
"Fine, I guess Troy will just have to understand that you don't want to see your own boyfriend. And I'll have to live with the fact that you don't want to spend time with me either." Mrs. Montez said.
"Alright, alright. You know I love you both mom. And I want to spend time with you both." Gabriella said, lifting the blanket off of her and getting out of bed.
"I knew that would get you up. I'll be in the shower." Mrs. Montez said walking out of the room.
"Me too." Gabriella called out, walking towards her own bathroom.
After about 15 minutes in the shower, Gabriella got out. She usually took longer showers, but she got up later than she expected to. She walked over to her nightstand to check what time it was and noticed that her phone was buzzing. Missed Call she read. She flipped open her phone and read that she missed a call from Troy and decided to call him back as she walked over to her closet to decide what to wear. The phone rang a few times. I bet he fell back asleep. Gabriella thought to herself and laughed on the inside.
"Hey." Troy said energetically into the phone.
"Hey yourself. Just thought I'd call you back. Sorry, I was in the shower." Gabriella said, pushing clothes around on the closet rack, still deciding what to wear.
"It's cool. I just wanted to make sure you were awake."
"Aww, so sweet of you."
"You know me." Troy chuckled.
"Well, I need to finish getting ready."
"Ahh, right. Typical." Troy laughed again.
"Shut up. I don't know what to wear since you won't tell me where we're going. And I can't wake up Tay to run over here to help me decide since it's so early."
"Hmm, just wear something warm and comfortable, yet nice." Troy suggested. "Since it's still chilly outside, and it is a date."
"Alright, alright."
"Okay, I'll see you in like 30 minutes to pick you guys up so we can drop of Martin at Chad's."
"Oh shoot. I forgot to wake him."
"It's alright. Just pack some clothes for him to change into, and he can go over to Chad's in his pjs, then change over there."
"Smart thinking Bolton. You think I should wake him up right now?"
"Nah, let him sleep. I'll just carry him into my car when I get there."
"Yeah good idea. Well, I'll see you in a little bit then."
"Yep. Bye."
"Bye." They both hung up. Gabriella finally picked out what to wear, changed, then went over to her mom's room.
"Troy's gonna be here in about 20 minutes mom. Just to let you know." Gabriella said, taking a seat on her mom's bed.
"Alright hun." Mrs. Montez said from her closet.
"He said to dress warm too." Gabriella added.
"Yeah, that's is a smart idea since it is early."
"I wonder where he's taking us." Gabriella pondered out loud.
"I don't know sweetie, but I can tell you this: I've never had a boyfriend who wanted to take me out on a date with my mom this early in the morning." Mrs. Montez laughed walking out of her closet. Gabriella just continued to sit on her mom's bed as she fell into a deep thought, while Mrs. Montez continued to get ready. Time flew by and Troy was already at the door.
"Oh my gosh, I'm still not ready." Gabriella said, opening the front door after rushing to it.
"It's okay. We've still got time." Troy said, giving Gabriella a kiss. "Tell you what, how about I take Martin over to Chad's right now to buy you some time?" He asked.
"Yes. Thank you." Gabriella kissed him on the cheek. "I'll go get his bag while you carry him into your car."
"Alright. Plus, I still have to go pick up your dad." Troy winked as he whispered.
"Right. I almost forgot about whatever plan your up to." Gabriella smirked, then continued her way up the stairs. Troy carried Martin out to his car with the help of Gabriella opening the doors and carrying his bag, then made his way to the Danforth's house. After dropping of Martin, Troy went to go pick up Mr.Montez at his apartment.
"Hey Troy." Mr. Montez said while getting into the car.
"Hey Mr. Montez." Troy said before starting the car.
"So, where we heading? And what exactly are you up to?" Mr. Montez said as they drove off, trying to buckle his seatbelt.
"Well, I told all of you that I'd pick you up at 5, which we're a little behind since it's 5:25, but that's okay. I just wanted to pick you guys up early just in case. We don't actually have to be there until a little before 6:30." Troy told Mr. Montez, who was nodding.
"Alright, but that still doesn't answer any of the questions." Mr. Montez laughed.
"Right. Well, we're heading out to the mountains, about 30 minutes away with no traffic, which explains the whole picking you guys up early thing. And originally, this was supposed to be for Gabby and I, but she was so upset that you guys weren't really on good terms, I decided to invite you two along, and hopefully push you guys a little to fix things between you. I'm pretty sure it's all just a misunderstanding between you two right?" Troy asked.
"Wow, you're one prepared kid. And yes, it was just a misunderstanding. So exactly how long have you been planning this? It looks like it would take a lot to figure out everything.."
"Well, I wanted to ask Gabby out a while back... like the first time I met her at the ski lodge. But that was almost impossible since we were both just on vacation. Then I couldn't find the courage to when she came to East High, not until about a few weeks ago, but things kept getting in the way. So, let's just say I've been planning this since the musical was over." Troy said embarrassed.
"Wow. I didn't think you would go that far for a girl." Mr. Montez laughed.
"I'd do anything for her." Troy smiled as they pulled up. "Alright, don't make a sound. You can turn on the radio so they don't hear you, I think Gabby might hug you on her way in though." Troy laughed.
"Alright." Mr. Montez said, turning on the radio. Troy got out with two blindfolds in hand. He went up to the door, and was let inside by Gabriella. He put the blindfolds on the two, then led Gabriella out to the car first. He told her that her dad was in the front seat, and not to tell her mom, or that she couldn't take off her blindfold. Gabriella did as Troy had expected. She hugged Mr. Montez from the back seat before scooting over to the seat behind the driver's seat. Troy told her that she could fall asleep if she wanted to, knowing that she was tired, and before he knew it she was sleeping already. Troy went back into the house to lead Mrs. Montez to the car. He locked the door for her with her key then handed it back.
"Why am I wearing a blindfold Troy?" Mrs. Montez laughed.
"Because, you might tell Gabby where we are when we get there, and I want it to be a surprise for both of you." Troy laughed.
"Alright, I'll go along with it."
"Good. Now promise me that you won't take this blindfold off?" Troy asked.
"Yes, yes I promise."
"Okay, good. Gabby is sleeping in the car already," He chuckled. "You can sleep too. I know you guys are tired, so I'll wake you two up when we get there." Troy said, letting Mrs. Montez into the car.
"Alright, thank you Troy."
"Oh, and Gabby is right next to you. Both of you are in the back passenger seats because I had to put something up here." Troy warned.
"Alright. Well, I guess I'll be sleeping since I can't really see anything." Mrs. Montez laughed referring to the blindfold.
"Well then, sweet dreams." Troy said as they drove off.
The ride was about 40 minutes due to little traffic, but they still made it by 6:15. Mrs. Montez and Gabriella were still sound asleep in the back seat. Mr. Montez and Troy got out quietly, letting them sleep.
"Wow Troy." was all Mr. Montez could say. "Hot air balloons? I must say, you're one creative guy. I would've never thought of this when I was in high school."
"Hah, thanks." Troy said walking towards the building. Troy checked in, and was led to the two balloons that they would be using. Then they made their way back to the car.
"There's breakfast in a basket." Troy said as they were walking.
"Smart." Mr. Montez laughed.
"Yeah, well, Mrs. Montez can't ignore you since there's really nowhere to run." Troy laughed. "Alright, so I'll walk with you so Mrs. Montez doesn't know you're here, then when you guys are high enough so that she has no choice but to stay on, tell her to take off the blindfold." Troy said.
"Alright."
"Well, looks like we better get them in before sunrise starts." Troy said opening the door of the car. "Mrs. Montez." He shook her slightly.
"Are we there?" She said groggily.
"Yep. But you still can't take off the blindfold. C'mon." He said helping her out of the car and leadingher to a hot air balloon nearby. Then they were off. After watching Mr. And Mrs. Montez lift off, he went to go grab Gabriella, not bothering to wake her up. He carried Gabriella out of the car, closed the door and locked the car after the push of the button, then made his way to their balloon with Gabriella in his arms. Troy just set her down and the bottom of the basket, and motioned for the man to start bringing them up. With the noise being made, she finally stirred awake.
"Troy?" Gabriella said groggily.
"Yep? I'm here." Troy said kneeling next to her.
"Can I take this off now? And what's that noise, something wrong with the car?" She asked. Troy just chuckled.
"Yes, you can take off the blindfold. And no, don't worry the car is fine. In fact, we're not in the car anymore, I carried you out." He told her as she started to take off the blindfold.
Ugh, my eyes. Gabriella thought to herself as she started to take the blindfold off. What does he mean we're not in the car anymore? Gabriella finally got the blindfold off and let her eyes focus.
"Where are we? Gabriella said after rubbing her temples.
"Why don't you stand up, and you'll see." Troy said smiling, holding out his hand to her. Gabriella didn't have her jacket on, but Troy remembered to bring it out. She slowly stood up, still focusing her eyes. She stood next to Troy and realized they were rising off the ground, surrounded by the New Mexico mountains.
"Oh my gosh." Gabriella gasped. Troy came behind her and wrapped his arms around her.
"You like it?" He whispered.
"This is amazing." She said softly, gazing out at the view. "I love it." She said turning around to face Troy, and wrapping her arms around his neck. "Thank you." She smiled.
"You're welcome." He smiled back, then they shared a soft kiss, and continued to watch the sun rise. A few minutes later Troy broke the silence.
"Hungry?" He asked.
"Yes. Starving." Gabriella admitted.
"Thought so." Troy laughed, and pulled out a picnic basket.
"Cute and smart. Where does the list end?" Gabriella joked.
"Well, it's not your usual breakfast I'm assuming, but how about a sandwich? I didn't think eggs and bacon would be so good cold." Troy laughed.
"Sounds good to me." She said, taking the sandwich he offered. She turned back around and started to eat her sandwich. Troy returned to his position, wrapping his arms around her.
"Not hungry?" She asked offering him a bite of her own sandwich, which he took a bite of.
"Just a little, but not really. Comfortable?" He asked.
"Very." She simply said. "Is this what you were planning on taking me to the other weekend?" She asked.
"Yeah."
"Oh." She said kind of sad because she let him down last weekend.
"But hey, I'm kinda glad we ended up doing this today, you know to help out your parents."
"Yeah, me too. So where are they? Down there still?"
"Nope, I called yesterday, and added another balloon under my name for your parents to ride in. I suppose they're settling their problem right now, or awkwardly riding together."
"I hope they're working out their problems."
"Don't worry, I'm sure they will, but for now let's just enjoy this okay?" He told her.
"Yeah, you're right." She said, shivering a little.
"Oh, you're jacket..." Troy said, starting to let go of her so he could grab her jacket, but was stopped as Gabriella spoke, and hugged his arms that were around her.
"No, I'm fine. As long as you're here." she said. Troy just smiled and continued to cuddle with her. "This is perfect."
