A/N: ok, I got a lot more feedback and reviews than I thought I would, so I will continue! Thanks to all of you have reviewed, and thanks for all the suggestions and helpful comments.

Troy watched as Gabi walked up to the stage to get her basket. He smiled, she still was the same Gabi he saw three years ago; however her hair was longer, and she was taller, but to him she was the same.

"Dude, is that-" Chad started but Troy cut him off.

"Yeah, man that's her," Troy responded not taking his eyes off her.

Chad looked back up at Gabi, and saw that the owner was talking to her, and she was making facial expressions and hand movements; obviously disliking whatever the owner was saying.

"What are you going to do?" Chad asked. "I mean, you can't just-"

"I know!" Troy cut him off. "I didn't think I would…see her here," Troy finished still staring after her.

Chad folded his arms at his chest. "What do you mean 'you didn't think you would see her here?' You knew she went college here! In fact, you even reminded me on the plane ride."

Troy finally tore his eyes away from Gabi and faced Chad. "No, I didn't!"

"Yes you did! 'Gabi goes there. Do you think I will see her? I mean, I haven't talked to her…in about three years, I think it's been now. Do you think she's dating someone?'" Chad said the last part in a very high voice.

Troy turned a light shade of pink before saying, "Shut up. Besides, I think I spotted Taylor over at the bar."

Chad immediately looked at the bar. "That's not Taylor," he said squinting, trying to get a better look.

Troy chuckled. "Yes, that's her man," he replied.

Chad narrowed his eyes at his best friend. He was about to say something, when a waitress finally came up to show them to their table. Troy was disappointed to find that it was not Gabriella, but some girl named Tiffany. He was happy, however, to find that his table was in seeing distance of the bar, where Gabriella was now back at bartending.

"So, you never answered my question," Chad whispered.

Troy furrowed his brow. "What are you talking about?"

"What are you going to do?" he asked.

"About…" Troy answered, still confused.

Chad sighed. "About Abigail you idiot!" he said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

Troy looked down. "I don't know," he responded.

"Well, you better think something up fast. You said she was getting here in an hour, and you said that about forty five minutes ago. I'm going to get a drink at the bar, little Tiffany here is taking too much time flirting with Chris over here and not enough suiting my needs by getting me a damn drink," Chad said and got up and walked over to the bar.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I really don't see how that was so funny," Gabi said while loading up fruit in the blender.

Taylor chuckled. "You just had to see it from my point of view," she replied taking a sip of her drink.

"And what was your point of view?" Gabi asked, raising her eyebrow.

"Well, here you are, with spotlight shined on you, waving and squinting like an idiot, where as Troy was over by the entrance and snapped his head up when they said your name. Then, he proceeded to gawk at you like a moron. To me, it just all very funny," she answered.

Gabi almost dropped the vodka bottle she was holding. "You mean he saw me?" she asked.

"Who didn't see you? The owner made it pretty damn obvious. So, yeah, Gabs, he saw you. And he only stared at you the whole time you were up there," Taylor said trying to get the last of the liquid out of her glass.

"I look terrible!" she exclaimed, looking down at her uniform. Gabi wore a black button down silk shirt, with black pants and vans sneakers.

Taylor rolled her eyes. "You look fine Gabi."

Gabi smiled. "Hey Taylor, do you still get along with Chad?" she asked.

Taylor grimaced. "No, why?"

"Because he's coming over here right now," Gabi replied smiling.

Taylor's eyes widened and she got up. "I have to go to the ladies room. Call me on your cell when he's gone!" she whispered the last part was got up and speed walked in the direction of the bathrooms.

Gabi laughed as Chad got nearer and nearer to the bar. "Gabster." He said leaning on the bar when he finally arrived. Gabi looked up and saw an older looking Chad. He had gotten taller, if that was even possible, and his fro was still intact. Gabi grinned and ran out to the other side of the bar.

"Chad!" she exclaimed, as he brought her into a tight hug.

"How have you been?" she asked excitedly, pulling away and taking in all his new and old features.

He gave a wide smile. "I've been good, you know, school is still a drag, but it's as good as it can be. Of course I could do with seeing you more often," he replied.

Gabi laughed. "Yeah, well, when is school ever fun? Do you want anything to drink?" she asked while going back to her job.

"Yeah, could you get me a martini?" he asked taking a seat.

Gabi smiled. "Of course."

"So, how have things been down here?" he inquired.

Gabi shrugged. "It's been okay, not the best, but you know I'm living," she replied getting all the ingredients out.

Chad nodded. "Any new men in your life?" he asked with a sly smile.

Gabi chuckled. "Chad, you haven't changed. But in answer to your question, no, there aren't any 'new men' in my life," she said imitating him and using air quotes.

Chad was shocked. "Really? A girl as pretty as you?" he asked surprised.

Gabi gave a small smile. "Well, I mean, plenty of guys asked me and stuff, but I just never said yes to anyone," she answered; now shaking the shaker-thing. (A/N: You know the thing they use to make martinis? Where you shake it? Yeah, that's not a good description, but it's the best I could do D)

"Why?" he asked, getting interested in the conversation more and more.

Gabi gave him his drink. "I don't really know. I just never was tempted to say yes," she replied.

Chad nodded in understanding.

"What about you? Let's put you in the hot seat. Any new women in your life?" she asked laughing.

Chad smiled. "Me? Nah. Women these days…hey, what was the manager saying to you before?" Chad asked.

Gabi's smile faltered. "Oh, nothing. He just wanted me to take a shift tomorrow night, and that's one of my days off," she responded.

"Oh, that's a bummer. Would it be better if I came back for a visit to keep my little sister company?" he asked.

Gabi smiled. During high school, Chad and Gabi have a developed a 'brother/sister' relationship. He was there for her times when Troy couldn't be, and she had done the same for him while his parents went through divorce in junior year. "Sure. But don't you have a basketball game?"

Chad shook his head. "Nope, that's not until Thursday. I'll be more than glad to come," he said.

"Okay, my shift tomorrow is from 5:00 to 11:30. Come any time you want," Gabi told him.

Chad was about to speak, but then another customer needed Gabi's attention. Gabi turned to the customer and almost burst out laughing. There, on a stool, was a woman wearing huge black sunglasses, a massive red hat with a pink bow tied to it.

"May I help you?" she asked the woman, trying her best not to laugh.

"Yeah, get him out of my seat!" she said in a hushed whisper, pointing to Chad.

"Excuse me?" Gabi asked. Was this woman nuts?

"It's Taylor, you walking void!" she said.

Gabi took a minute to look over this lady, and saw that, indeed, this person was really Taylor. Gabi toppled over in laughter.

"You—look—so—ridiculous!" she managed to get out in between laughs.

"Shut up! Make him be gone and I will be normal!" she said.

"Taylor when were you ever normal?" Gabi shot back cracking a joke.

"Eh heh heh. Bite me, Montez. And don't use my first name! He'll figure out it's me!" she started, but then gasped and said, "Gabi, turn around now!"

Gabi furrowed her brow. "Er, why?" she asked.

"Just do it!" she exclaimed.

"Alright, alright! I'll turn around, sheesh. Don't bite my head-" but Gabi stopped mid-sentence, because sitting next to Chad was Troy Bolton.

A/N: Okay, yeah this chapter was just sort of there to see Chad and Gabi catch up. I know it wasn't the best, but I know what's going to happen in the next couple of chapters, and there's loads of drama and stuff. I know it wasn't really a long one either, but please bear with me. It will get better and longer, I promise! Please review! Thanks!
