Dear Mrs. Darbus
Chapter 3: It Didn't Go As Planned

Summary: This is Sharpay's letter. Zeke isn't here with her, but he's mentioned a lot.

I can finally get on the computer! Yay! Let's all cheer together! YIPPEE! Okay, so I finally managed to get another chapter up. I hope you like this one because my sister and her friend enjoyed it, so if you you don't, they'll be sad with me. So if there are no more questions, then I give you my next chapter:

"Zeke?" a voice said from my boyfriend's phone.

"No, it's Sharpay," I answer. "Troy?! Is that really you?!" I squealed.

"Um...no...maybe...I guess...yeah....anyway...I need Zeke and your help," Troy said.

"Sure Troy. What do you need help with?" I asked.

"Well, there's something wrong with Mrs. Darbus..." he started then proceeded to explain to me what's going on. With every word I got more and more depressed. The fact that we have Mrs. Darbus's life relying on Kelsi's plan is the scariest thing. She's a nice enough person, but come on, she's got no guts. She let me boss her around all through high school. After all, Twinkle Towne was her show and she didn't tell me, "Back off, you're the actor, I'm the director!" Now she decides to take charge! Kelsi never made or will make sense to me. But if Troy trusts, her I guess I do too. So now here I am, with a paper and pen in my hand, and I have no clue what I should write. I wish Zeke wasn't busy with his cooking classes. I hope he's home soon. So, here goes nothing:

My Lovely Mrs. Darbus,

No, that's not right. I crumple up the paper and start again. How about:

My Dear Mrs. Darbus,

No, that's not it either. Into the trash can it goes. Okay, what about:

Dear Mrs. Darbus,

Hi, it's your favorite student, Sharpay Evans. I heard about what was going on with you and normally I'd just ignore it but you gave me my big break, so I think I should repay the favor. Well, you know what happened to me up till when I was in my second year of college, so I shall start from there. In my third year, I found out that Kelsi Neilsen was pregnant and wanted to plan a wedding. I wanted to plan it, so she gave me a month. Naturally, this wasn't enough to make her wedding fabulous, so I took a little longer. I made sure everything was perfect, and although it took longer than she wanted, Kelsi was amazed that I did all of that. She said it was perfect, but I already knew it would be.

I took classes at night too, so I could graduate earlier. I wound up graduating year earlier and lucky for me too. After I left my college, I went to New York to see if there were any openings in a musical on Broadway. Luckily, there was. They were in need of a Galinda/Glinda for the musical Wicked, since Annaleigh Ashford was leaving for the Chicago production. They were going to have Kendra Kassebaum come to take over but of course I couldn't have that. I marched right up to the director and said I would like to try out. He looked at me funny, but agreed and I sang Popular and No One Mourns the Wicked. He then asked for my best high note. I sang it so high and so clear I swear he thought his glass of water would shatter.

Unfortunately, my singing was not enough. They wanted someone with experience so I e-mailed the director my works from school. He e-mailed me back and asked if it was really true that Mrs. Gladys Darbus was my drama teacher. I told him it was true and he hired me. I was ecstatic. I got to be in Wicked! I was Galinda/Glinda for about seven months and I got to sing with Stephanie J. Block which was fabulous. I found out that Ryan was coming back to reprise his role as Boq. It was funny because his character was in love with mine and I thought it would be weird, but it was hilarious. Then I got to sing with Kerry Ellis, equally fabulous. I actually had Kendra Kassebaum tell me she loved me as Galinda/Glinda. That was expected though; I already knew I was the best.

After my time in Wicked I went to visit my parents and my friends (or really, just the ones that still lived there which was Chad. Yippee, Chad. That was sarcasm in case you missed it) back in Albuquerque. When I was there, I ran into Zeke. He had come back for a while to visit Chad. I ran into him at our Lava Springs Country Club. He was cooking for my parents but I didn't know that. When I tasted the dessert, I knew it was him. I asked to see the chef, and sure enough, it was him. We talked for a long time and I visited him every day but eventually I had to go back home. Zeke went with me because he claims, "I have nowhere else to go." I think he went to be with me, but who wouldn't? I found that there was an opening in Legally Blonde the Musical so I tried out and got the part of Elle Woods, of course. Zeke came to a lot of shows and I always knew where he was sitting.

Of course, because I was so famous, I had men throwing themselves at my feet. I loved the attention until one day. I was walking home from a show one day without Zeke (he was at some basketball thing) and I heard a noise. I wasn't sure what it was so I just kept walking. But it happened again, so I turned to look but nothing was there. I walked a bit faster and then this guy came out of nowhere and said hi. I said hello back then went around him. He followed me though so I told him I must be on my way. He wouldn't leave and he was really freaking me out. Then he tried to grab me so I kicked him and ran. I took out my cell and called Zeke to come and get me. I kept running but I could hear the guy following me. I heard a car coming and thank goodness it was Zeke. When I got in the car he looked mad. I'd never seen him so mad. He said he was worried that something might have happened to me. I told him I could take care of myself, but he just kept shaking his head. After a while I realized he just cared about me. When we got to the apartment I kissed him on the cheek before I went to bed. He seemed to appreciate that.

I know I told you I'd never be with him, but what can I say, I gave in. I loved his cookies. He made cookies for me one night and they were so good and after that...well, I won't go into detail. After all, you are my teacher. Around the time Zeke and I got together Ryan got married to Martha. Do you remember Martha Cox? Well, that's who he was marrying. I planned the wedding and called everyone to tell them about the two. I was really happy for my little brother. I always thought I would be the first to marry but I was still happy for him. I was also there when Martha had her first daughter and I'm the godmother.

We've moved back to Albuquerque but I still make sure there are no openings on Broadway. If there is, we'll be moving back. We donate money to the University of Albuquerque sometimes and I plan weddings now. Zeke does a number of things. We aren't married yet, but I'm looking to change that one soon. He does tend to get a little nervous whenever I bring up marriage but he does what I want him to. My life didn't turn out the way I planned it, but I'm still satisfied. I hope hearing about my accomplishments will make you feel better, I know they help everyone else.

Love You Lots,

The Fabulous Sharpay Evans (soon to be Sharpay Baylor)

Note: There's some Wicked mentioned. Just in case you are confused, no Sharpay did not sing with SJB or Kerry Ellis. I put her in KEndra's place. So don't freak if you went and the program said Kendra instead of Sharpay. There was no typo. If anyone is curious I named Sharpay and Zeke's kids Edward and James. They were both boys. Also, Zeke took Sharpay's last name so they are the Evans family.
