Okay, for those of you who wanted an alternate Troyella ending, I'm so sorry for the wait. I just moved from Charlotte, North Carolina to Highlan Park, New Jersey and I've only been a week in HP so I'm still getting used to it. We just recently got cable and interet and I can now update my story. So anyway, for those of you waiting, here it is, the alternate ending to my story.

Something Has Changed

(Alternate Ending)

Friday afternoon, Ryan and Gabriella were at the park eating their suckers while sitting on the side of the big fountain.

"So what's going on with you and Troy?"

"What do you mean?"

"Sharpay told me that you broke up but she said that you guys wouldn't tell her why."

"Oh, yeah. We broke up."

"Can you tell me why?"

"Well…" Gabriella started.

"Please! Pretty please! With sugar on top!" Ryan begged.

Gabriella sighs. "Okay, fine I'll tell you." Gabriella faced Ryan. Ryan straightened himself up.

"I broke up with him because I wanted to be with you." Gabriella answered. Ryan couldn't believe what he's hearing.

"I'm sorry, I thought I heard you say that you broke up with Troy to be with me."

"I did say that."

"But why?"

"Well because when I went with him to the after season party, he saw that I was uncomfortable."

"But why were you uncomfortable?"

"Because I knew you were leaving. Then he broke up with me because he knew I wanted to be with you. Then I chased you all the way to the airport. At least I tried to. But I didn't get there in time. You were already on the plane and the plane was already starting to taxi."

"So that was you! I saw you at the airport!" Ryan said excitedly. Gabriella nodded. "So that means that the guy who loves you so much and would do anything for you just broke up with you so you could be with me. And you agreed." Ryan said. Gabriella hung her head in shame.

Ryan lifted Gabriella's chin. "Gabriella, look at me. Look at me. You just broke up with the guy who truly loved you since the day he saw you. And I admit that I like you too. But it's just it takes a lot for a guy to break up with someone he truly loves. Gabby, Troy loves you enough that he's actually willing to let you go just to see you happy. And I can't compete with that. Troy is perfect for you. Now go and talk to him. Make up with him." Ryan said as he stood up.

"Wait where are you going?"

"Home. I just don't want to go on knowing that I stole a girl from someone who deserves her." Ryan said as he walked off, leaving Gabriella sitting by the fountain side.

The next day, Ryan was leaving for New York again but this time, the whole gang came with him to the airport to bid him goodbye. They were waiting at the terminal.

"So are you planning on telling him?" Troy whispered to Gabriella.

"I already told him."

"Really? When? So what'd he say? Did you guys kiss?"

"Yeah, really. I told him yesterday when we were at the park together. No we didn't kiss."

"What'd he say?"

"I'll just tell you later. I don't feel like talking about it right now."

"Okay. Whatever you say." Troy says and then he becomes quiet.

"So Ryan, are you going to make me proud again?" Sharpay asked.

"Of course. Just promise not to crash any of my cars again. But feel free to crash yours."

"Ry, are you sure you're going to miss us? 'Cause you look like you're having too much fun over at New York." Taylor said.

"I'll try not to have too much fun. In fact, I miss you guys already."

"So, we'll see you again in a couple of weeks?" Chad asked.

"Yeah, a couple of weeks."

"Ry, can you show this to your music editor?" Kelsi said, handing Ryan few pages of sheet music.

"I just came up with it during the week, and I was hoping that if they like it, they could play it in the musical."

"Sure Kels. I'm sure they'll like it." Ryan said taking the sheet music and putting it in his special box.

"Yeah, and dude, put this on your dressing room dresser would you?" Troy asked, handing him a framed picture of Ryan and the whole gang.

"I sure will." Ryan said taking the picture and putting it in his special box too. Then the intercom came on.

"Flight number 271 to New York is now ready to board. Again, flight number 271 to New York is now ready to board."

"That's you." Jason said.

"Yeah, but I won't be boarding until a couple more minutes. They let the disabled go first and then parents with kids and then the adults."

"Do you have anything else to say to Ryan?" Troy asks Gabriella but Gabriella doesn't respond.

"Hey Ryan, Gabby has something to tell you." Troy said as he pushes Gabriella towards Ryan. Gabriella looks back and glares at Troy. Ryan just looks at Gabriella.

"I just wanted to say that I… I… hope you have a great time in New York." Gabriella said. Troy just shook his head.

"Oh, okay. Thanks." Ryan said. Then he looked at the line of people and realized that the adults were already boarding. "Well, I gotta go. I'll catch you guys soon." Ryan said and then they did a group hug. The gang watched Ryan give his ticket to the attendant and go through the tunnel (A/N: Or however you call it) and into the plane.

He's really going. Gabriella thought. The gang then got out of the front doors of the airport and sat at the curb for a while. Then a few seconds later, they saw a plane take off. The same plane that Ryan got into.

"He's gone." Zeke said. Then the whole gang sighed. Then the airport speakers caught a radio frequency and started playing some music. Then the DJ came on.

"Hey guys, this is DJ Pete on 92.8 (A/N: I don't know if that's a real radio station, I just made it up) doing a live phone interview with a newly discovered Broadway star, Ryan Evans."

The sound of Ryan's name caught the gang's attention and they started to listen intently.

"Yes thank you, Pete." They heard Ryan say.

"So, how are you doing today, Ryan?"

"I'm doing good thank you. I actually just took a break and visited my hometown this past week."

"Really? Where is your hometown?"

"Albuquerque, New Mexico."

"Albuquerque, New Mexico. I heard that's a great city."

"It is, Pete."

"So, are you going back to New York?"

"Actually, I'm on a plane to New York right now."

"Oh, so you're ready to do another show?"

"Yeah, I am."

"So, what's next for you in Broadway."

"Well, you know, I'll be doing more shows and hopefully get on the cast list more often. Hey, Pete, can I just say something to someone real quick?"

"Sure. Yeah. Go ahead."

"Thank you. This is for Gabriella Montez." Ryan said.

When Gabriella heard her name come out of the speakers, she started to listen really carefully.

"Gabby, I hope you're listening to this. I just want you to know that you should get back together with Troy. He's a great guy for you, and I'm just making it harder for you to choose which one to pick. So if you have to pick between us, pick Troy. Because I know he loves you very much. Think about it, if he didn't love you that much, he would have never broken up with you because he doesn't want to let you go. But he does love you very much because he let you go so you could be happy. And that takes a great deal of courage. So Troy, if you're listening to this too, take care of Gabriella. Make sure she's safe and make sure she always has a shoulder to lean on. That's what I promised her." Ryan finished.

"Wow, what a statement." Pete said.

"I'm sorry, I just really had to get that out. Because she might not get back together with Troy. If she doesn't get back together with him, she is making the biggest mistake of her life."

"Okay, well…" Pete continued on.

I think Ryan's right. Troy has to love me enough to let me go. And I think he really is the guy for me and I'm too busy thinking about Ryan when I already found what I've been looking for. Gabriella thought.

What the heck is Ryan saying? I thought he likes Gabriella? So why is he giving her to me? I let her go because she wanted to be with him! I am so confused right now! Troy thought.

A few minutes later, Gabriella approached Troy.

"Troy…"

"Yeah? What's up?"

"I just wanted to say that I'm sorry that all I've been thinking about lately is Ryan and not paying enough attention to you." Gabriella apologized.

"It's okay. I know you like Ryan. So, no need to apologize."

"But that's the thing. Ryan just reminded me of something important. That the guy I was looking for was already beside me all along."

"What? I'm sorry, I'm just not following."

"I mean, that I keep on looking for someone else when you're already here, ready to love me." Gabriella explains.

"I'm sorry, I'm still not getting it." Troy said. Gabriella sighs.

"Oh my, God." Kelsi said.

"How much slower can you get?" Taylor said.

"But I don't get it either." Chad said.

"Apparently, much more slower." Sharpay said.

"Okay, well then I'm going to have to use a different explanation. How about this?" Gabriella said as she went and kissed Troy on the lips. They stayed like that for a long time. The gang is still listening to Ryan on the radio while they watch Troy and Gabriella making out.

"…And if my calculations are correct, if they were listening to what I said earlier, they should be kissing right now." Ryan said through the radio.

"You cannot be any more right, Ry." Jason said as he looked at Troy and Gabriella.

"Something really has changed." Sharpay said as she and the gang continued to look at Troy and Gabriella while they were smiling at the couple.

Good job Ryan. I'm proud of you already. Sharpay thought.
