The Hottest Couple

Together Again

"Chad I swear to god if you don't get your ass out of the door in five seconds I will kill you," Troy yelled.

"You sound like my mother," he responded.

"Yeah, well if we don't leave now we are going to be late for the concert, not to mention to pick up Taylor," Troy said.

Pause for update on their relationship: Troy and Gabriella were doing great, but the American public did not believe that. After the whole Greg thing, people heard about his blow up in the locker room and that Greg would be leaving next year. Since Troy and Gabi hadn't seen each other people assumed they were having problems.

"Yes Taylor, my ex who I haven't seen in 6 years!"

"Who you are still in love with." Chad just glared at him. "Dude I swear to god Gabi doesn't take this long to get ready."

"Shut up, lets go." Chad said and they left his house. They got into Troy's car and drove to Taylor's hotel.

"What are you going to say to her?" Troy asked.

"Dude I dunno. Like I don't even know if we ever officially broke up," Chad responded.

"Yet you are so scared to see her," Troy said.

"Well I don't know if she is like extremely mad at me," Chad responded.

"Well from what Gabi has told me she wants to get back together with you so I don't think you should worry," Troy said.

"Am I actually taking love advice from you?"

"Hey, I am a deep guy."

"You and Gabi are way too close."

"Shut up."

They pulled up to see Taylor standing in the front waiting for them.

"Chad it will be okay," Troy laughed seeing how nervous he was.

"Hey Troy," she said getting in the car. Last time she came to L.A., she saw Gabi and Troy, but Chad had somehow figured out away to get out of it.

"Hi Chad," she said a little nervous.

"Hi Taylor," he responded, just as scared. There was an awkward silence as Troy drove off.

"So you guys excited?" Troy asked trying to break the tension.

"Oh my god yes," Taylor responded, "Have you seen it yet?" she asked Troy.

"I got to see her rehearse a few times but I haven't actually been to the concert," Troy replied.

"Ohhh okay," Taylor said.

"Will we get to see Gabs before?" Chad asked.

"Umm we have backstage passes, but it just depends what time we get there," Troy responded.

"Did you ever think Gabriella Montez, math and science genius, would sell out the Staples Center three nights in a row," Taylor laughed.

"No," Chad and Troy laughed in unison.

"We all thought it would be Sharpay doing this," Taylor laughed.

"God, if Sharpay was the media darling Gabi is the world would be coming to an end," Chad scoffed and they laughed.

"Well she did get nicer," Taylor said.

"Yeah," they both sighed.

"Who is opening?" Taylor asked.

"Pussycat Dolls," Troy responded and him and Chad smiled at each other, which Taylor caught, so she hit them right on top of the head.

"Ow!" they exclaimed in unison rubbing their heads.

"You are still doing that?" Chad asked. Taylor just leaned back and gave him an evil smile.

"Is it just me or is weird coming here and not playing a game?" Chad asked Troy as they pulled into the parking lot.

"It is weird having to park so damn far away from the arena," he responded.

"This is the closest parking lot to the arena! You walk across the street and you are there!" Taylor exclaimed.

"Yeah, but Troy here thinks he is the king of the Staples Center," Chad said and Troy glared at him, which he ignored, "therefore, he thinks he should get some kind of special treatment whenever he comes here." Troy was just silent.

"Has Mr. MVP been acting a little cocky?" Taylor asked Chad. By the way Troy's team one the championships and I would have written a chapter on that but it would be getting away from the story and I was too into this chapter. And Troy won MVP.

"You have no idea," Chad responded.

"Number one I am standing right here. Number two I have not been acting cocky. Number three Taylor prepare yourself, cause me and Chad are about to be swarmed," Troy said looking at the people staring at them as they got out of the car.

"Lets just call Paul," Chad said.

"Wow Chad that is the first good idea you have ever had," Troy responded and Chad glared at him while dialing his cell phone.

"Who is Paul?" Taylor asked Troy.

"The head of security here," Troy responded.

"Thanks man," Chad said into the phone before hanging up. "He said we should drive to our usual entrance and he will get us there and have someone escort us to our seats."

"Thank you god," Troy said as they got back into the car.

"Spoiled athletes," Taylor scoffed.

"I swear you and Gabi have some kind of telepathic thing going on," Troy responded.

"We are best friends, we think alike," Taylor smiled. Troy drove into his regular parking space and they all got out.

"Hey can you take us to her dressing room?" Troy asked.

"Yeah," Paul responded, "I am gonna take you through the tunnel where Stacy is gonna meet you, then before she goes on I will take you to your seats."

"Thanks man," Chad said.

"Anything for you two," Paul responded and Taylor rolled her eyes.

"Gabi! You have done this a million times! Why are you freaking out?" Stacy exclaimed.

"Because Troy is coming tonight!" she responded, "Not to mention they are filming it and it is the last night!"

"Don't worry about them filming just pretend it is like any other night. And why are you worried about your boyfriend who happens to be madly in love with you, coming tonight," she said.

"Cause this is the first time he has seen me on stage since we got back together!"

"Yeah ok, well just get yourself together because I am going to meet him Chad and Taylor right now," Stacy said.

"Okay," she groaned. Stacy went and got the three of them and they walked to the dressing room.

"Hey is it okay if I talk to her alone for a second," Troy asked Chad and Taylor.

"Yeah," they responded in unison.

"Hey babe," Troy said walking in.

"Hey," she responded getting up and walking over to him and lightly kissing him.

"How are you?" he asked.

"Nervous," she responded shyly.

"Why? You have performed in front of this many people a hundred times," he said.

"I'm not scared of performing in front of thousands of people, I can do that with my eyes closed. I am scared of performing in front of one," she responded. He just hugged her.

"Why would you be nervous about me being here?" he asked pulling away.

"I dunno, its just the last time you saw me on stage was in high school," she said a little embarrassed.

"Gabs, don't be afraid. Just go out there and do what you love to do," he said.

"Thanks," she responded and kissed him.

"Now can I go get Chad and Taylor cause they are out there alone," he said.

"Wow, awkward," she responded.

"Yeah," he said.

"Of course," she replied.

WITH CHAD AND TAYLOR

"Hey I have to go talk to Matt, are you two okay out here?" Stacy asked them.

"Yeah," they said in unison.

"Okay," she responded and walked away. They just stood there in an awkward silence.

"Umm so how have you been?" Chad asked awkwardly.

"Fine," she responded

"Well umm that's good."

"Yeah," she said, "Uhh what about you?"

"Oh umm I have been good," he said.

"Good."

"Yeah," they stood there in silence for a little longer.

"Soo umm are you seeing anyone?" Taylor asked nervously.

"No," he responded and she nodded, "you?" he asked a few moments later.

"No," she replied.

"Okay," he said and they stood there in silence.

"Hey guys wanna come in?" Troy asked opening the door.

"Yes," they said too quickly in unison. Troy just laughed.

"Gabi!" Taylor squealed running in.

"Tay!" she screamed. They ran and hugged each other.

"How are you!" Gabi asked.

"Great! I can't believe I am here," she said.

"Truthfully, neither can I," Gabi said and they both laughed.

"Gabi, I am here and you haven't screamed yet," Chad said.

"That is cause I have seen you," she responded and he laughed. She walked up to him and hugged him.

"Thanks for coming you guys," she said when she pulled away.

"We wouldn't miss it for the world," Taylor said and Troy and Chad nodded.

"Have these two been behaving?" Gabi asked Taylor.

"Except for the complaining about parking when we were assigned to the closest parking lot here, surprisingly well," she responded and Gabi laughed.

"You two are so mean," Troy said.

"It is just because we love you," Gabi said to Troy. Chad and Taylor glanced at each other and there was another awkward silence.

"So, I am not a fan of the food here whatcha got in here?" Troy said trying to cut the tension.

"Troy, have you ever been above the ground level of this stadium?" Taylor asked.

"Yes," he lied.

"Dude, what the hell are you talking about?" Chad asked.

"Yeah, when was the last time you hit up McDonalds here?" Troy asked. Chad was silent. Taylor and Gabi just stood there laughing.

"There are some snacks over there," she said pointing to a table across the room.

"I didn't know they had a dressing room here," Chad said sitting down.

"I know," Troy said still getting food.

"Have your realized that the walls are curtains?" Gabi asked. Troy looked at her confused then pulled a curtain back.

"Hey! Chad! It is your locker!" Troy said. Chad got up to go see.

"Oh my god! You are right! I can't believe we are in our locker room!" he said looking around.

"I thought as they got older they might get smarter, however…" Gabi started.

"Nope," Taylor finished.

"Sorry we weren't on the scholastic decathlon team," Troy said as they sat down.

"Shut up," Gabi and Taylor said in unison.

"Just to let you know, this concert is being filmed and it will be on HBO in a month, so if the camera finds you guys, you will probably be on TV," Gabi said.

"Well Troy over here loves to be on television, so it will be okay," Chad said and they laughed except for Gabi who just stopped.

"Gabs? You okay?" Troy asked concerned.

"Oh yeah, sorry, I just thought of something," she said.

"Is everything okay?" Taylor asked.

"Perfect," she smiled.

"So Gabs, it is your last show, you gonna do something special?" Troy asked. She looked at him and smiled.

"Hell yeah I am," she said.

"What?" Chad asked.

"It is a surprise," she said.

"Oh god, Gabi and surprises, never a good combination," Chad joked.

"No I think you guys will like this one," she said. Before they got a chance to question her about it Stacy walked in.

"Sorry guys, but Gabs you have to get into costume, and you guys need to get to your seats," she said.

"Okay," Gabi said and they all got up.

"Good luck, love ya," Taylor said hugging her.

"Thanks love ya too," she replied.

"Good luck Gabs," Chad said hugging her.

"Thanks."

Troy stood there as Chad and Taylor left the room.

As soon as he heard the door close he pulled her close to him and passionately kissed her.

"Wow," she said pulling away.

"Sorry, it was really tempting, plus I haven't done it in a while," he laughed.

"Oh don't be sorry," she said seductively.

"Don't worry you will be amazing," he said.

"Thanks," she replied.

"I love you," he said.

"Love you too," she replied.

"Good luck."

"Thanks," she replied and gave him one last kiss before he left.

DURING THE CONCERT

After Gabi finished a song she grabbed a water bottle and walked to the center of the stage.

"So how is everybody doing tonight?" she asked the audience and they all cheered.

"Good," she laughed.

"Now I have a question for you guys, who here is a Laker fan?" she asked. It being Los Angeles, the stadium erupted in applause.

"Oh my god," Troy said.

"Ok good," she laughed, "so I have another question. Anyone here a fan of Troy Bolton?" she asked and the audience cheered again.

"You have got to be kidding me," Troy groaned and Chad and Taylor laughed.

"Good, me too. Well you guys might not know this but Troy has an amazing voice. So how would you guys like it if he came up here and sang with me?" they cheered and she looked down at Troy who just shook his head.

"Well maybe with your help I can get him up here, so do you guys wanna hear Troy sing," she asked and they cheered once again.

"Well Troy it seems that they want you to come sing with me, how about it?" she asked him. He rolled his eyes and made his way to the stage. She grabbed a microphone and handed it to him.

"Hey everybody," he said to the audience. The audience didn't know what to be more surprised at, the fact that they really were still together or the fact that he could sing.

"You ready Troy?" she asked.

"Yeah what will we be singing tonight," he asked her.

"Umm I am not telling you," she said putting her water bottle down.

"What! I come all the way up here and I don't even know what I am going to be singing," he said.

"Yep pretty much," she said.

"Why do you guys like her?" he asked the audience who was just sitting there laughing at that point. Gabi just rolled her eyes. "Because you love me oh so very much will you give me a clue?"

"Fine, but only cause I love you. They have never heard it, and we have sang it together before," she said.

"What we have sung like thirty songs together, how is that supposed to help?" Everyone just laughed at him. "What if I don't remember?"

"Ohh if you don't remember this song you will be severely punished," she said.

"Oh really," he said raising an eyebrow to the audience. "And what does this punishment entail Gabs?"

"Oh shut up."

"Love you too."

"Yeah, okay. Are you ready?" she asked annoyed.

"Of course."

The music began to play and everybody was at the edge of their seats, wanting to hear him sing. The song was Breaking Free. Troy smiled and lightly laughed.

Everybody gasped when they heard his voice.

"You remember when they first sang this?" Chad asked Taylor.

"How could I forget, it was the day we got together" she replied.

"Yep," he smiled to her. "I am sorry Tay, for losing touch with you."

"Yeah," she smiled. "I am sorry too." He put his arm around her and pulled her close.

"It seems like yesterday," he said looking at the two.

"I know what you mean," she replied.

And that is how they preformed the song, like the callbacks were yesterday.

"Wow," Troy said once they finished.

"Yeah," she responded. The stadium had burst into applause.

"So Gabs I am all the way up here, you mind if I stay up here for a little bit?" he asked her.

"I don't care, do you guys mind?" she asked everybody and of course they once again burst into cheers. "Then it is settled, so what is next?" she asked him.

"I dunno but can it be a slow song cause that just took a lot out of me," he said.

"You are a basketball player how are you tired after one song!"

"Hey, it is the off season."

"Yeah ok," she scoffed. "Well What I've Been Lookin' For was originally a duet."

"Yes it was that," he nodded.

They sing the song and everybody loved it.

"Okay I get to chose the next one," he said.

"Why!" she whined

"Cause you chose Breaking Free."

"But it is my concert!" she said still whining.

"Fine I am just gonna leave then," he said and pretended to walk off stage.

"Ok ok you win," she groaned.

"That is what I thought," he said and she rolled her eyes.

"So what is it?" she asked.

"It is a surprise," he replied and whispered into the band leader's ear who nodded.

"I don't even get to know what I am going to be singing," she said.

"I didn't know I was going to be singing Breaking Free. Do you have any of those things that hold up microphones up here?"

"Microphone stands," she said amused.

"Yeah those, we need them."

"God you are so needy," she groaned.

"What this song cannot be sang without them, it just wouldn't be right," he said.

"Ask Alicia if you can borrow them," she said. He walked up to where the background singers were standing and got two stands.

"All set there?" she asked making fun of him.

"Yep," he replied. "You better remember this one."

"I think I can manage," she said.

"Good," he replied. He nodded to the band leader who began to play. He was playing Start of Something New. She put a hand over her heart and gave him the 'you are so sweet' look. Once again they sang it perfectly.

"Well, babe, as much fun as this has been, I think you need to get back to your show," he said.

"Yes, thank you for joining me up here," she said sweetly.

"Anything for you," he replied. A bunch of 'awws' came from the audience, which they both giggled at.

"You are doing amazing," he whispered in her ear and she just smiled.

She kissed him lightly, which earned them many cheers. "Thanks everyone," he said waving.

"Love you," she said as he walked off stage.

"Love you too," he smiled and turned around.

"So can everybody give it up one more time for Troy?" she asked the audience and they all applauded and she just giggled.

Troy walked back to his seat to find Chad with his arm around Taylor.

"Am I missing something?" he asked the two. They looked at each other and smiled.

"You know what happens when you and Gabi sing," Taylor said.

"People come together," Chad finished.

"Yeah," he smiled and turned back to watch his girlfriend.

This was getting so long that I had to finish it somewhere, it is one of my fav chapters ever so I hope u like it! You got this one quickly just because I love it so much!
