They sat in the cinema. Gabriella's eye's plastered on the screen; Troy's eyes glued on her, watching her every move, memorizing every inch of her. The way she threw her head back when she laughed, the way her eyes sparkle, the way her small little hand disappeared in the big tub of popcorn and the way her smile was constantly in place. Gabriella, feeling his eyes on her turns to face him. "Hi" she whispered

"Hi" he whispered back causing her to giggle as she turned back to watching the movie. An hour and a half later the credits started to roll. Gabriella picked up her bag placing it on her shoulder

"Come on wildcat." Troy stood up, a sea of popcorn falling off his lap causing Gabriella to giggle "Where to now?" Troy looked at his watch it read 9pm.

"How about we go grab a bite to eat? Know any places?" Gabriella and Troy headed for the door that would take them to the foyer of the cinema, as Gabriella thought.

"What about pizza? Everyone loves pizza and correct me if I'm wrong but pizza is Troy Bolton's favorite, is it not?" She flashed him a smile and Troy laughed.

"Come on then." They made their way to the front of the cinema as they stepped out of the foyer a light breeze hit Gabriella sending her curls dancing and causing a shiver to make its way down her back. Troy took off his jacket, the same one he had left in her office and handed it over to her. Gabriella looked over at Troy through the curtain her curls had created

"Thanks" She pulled the jacket tighter around her body before they made their way across the road and into the little pizza parlor. They ordered a small cheese pizza and two lemonades. As they ate the talked about the lives that the other had missed out on.

"Your daughter, she's beautiful. Looks just like you." Gabriella took another sip of her lemonade as she offered Troy the last piece of pizza which he happily accepted.

"That's impossible. She can't look like me she's adopted." Gabriella's moth fell open a fraction and tears welled in her eyes. Shutting her eyes she took a deep, shaky breath before croaking out a response.

"Really, she reminds me of you. Maybe it's her mannerisms." Gabriella finished off her lemonade the sound of the straw struggling to collect the remaining liquid rang in their ears. "I should probably head home now. Wags will need to go out." Gabriella rose with Troy following.

"Wags?"

"Wags my dog, well wags the dog." Troy laughed.

"hmm so you still watch the Wiggles." Gabriella rolled her eyes as they exited the pizza shop.

"Shut up and I don't still watch the Wiggles. I had help naming him." Troy laughed. Gabriella's car came into view. Troy whistled

"Nice car. See that one." He pointed at a black Audi Cabriolet"There" Gabriella laughed.

"Yeah I see it." She held up her keys "And I own it." Troy grabbed her keys doubled checking for the Audi rings.

"No way!" He jogged towards the car, patting its paint as if it were a cat.

"Hop in wildcat." His attention immediately went from the car to her.

"Seriously?" She nodded and he ran around to the passenger side throwing her the keys.

"You're driving" She tossed the keys back and he caught them one handed before jogging back around to the driver's side. He sat behind the wheel, placing his hands on the leather wheel, laughing like a child he turned to Gabriella.

"Where to?"

"Let's go around the block because you have to come back for your car." Troy stuck the key in the ignition hearing the engine come to life he smiled, he put his foot on the accelerator (Is that what they're called?) and slowly pulled out of the parking space.

"Drives like a beauty" Gabriella giggled and Troy looked over at her. "What."

She sighed "Oh nothing. Troy, the road" She pointed out towards the empty street.

"Oh right." He turned back his attention on the road.

Celina was in the living room sprawled on the couch, glasses perched on the tip of her nose, lamp on giving her light and a blanket sloppily draped over her in an attempt to keep her warm. The TV was on in the background but she was paying no attention, she was too caught up in Anna's decisions that would tear apart her family and have perhaps fatal consequences for the sister who she loves. Celina didn't like to read but she found my sisters keeper and all of Jodi Picoult's other books one of a kind. As she was reading she didn't even realize her daughter come in and commandeer the TV's remote, well not until Grace asked her mother a question.

"Ma, where's dad?" Celina slowly looked up taking off her glasses and folding the arms down, she placed her book on the coffee table balancing her glasses on top of the hard cover.

"He said he'd be back at 8:30. What's the time?" Grace looked over at their DVD recorder which had the time in 24 hour mode placed in neon green block letters.

"Almost 10 o'clock." Celina sighed, standing up and folding the blanket which she then placed in a draw under the coffee table.

"Well you're not waiting up for your father, go to bed and when he arrives home I'll send him up." Grace kissed her mothers cheek and ran upstairs. She sat at her desk, opened her laptop and surfed the net.

"I don't want to go home just yet, besides I walked here anyways." Troy said as they neared the cinema. Gabriella sighed

"I suppose we could drive a little bit longer. It's not like people's lives will be placed in my hands tomorrow." She said rather sarcastically. Troy chucked, he knew exactly where he was going to take her. About twenty minutes later Gabriella started to get impatient with Troy.

"Where are we going Troy?" He once, yet again, pretended her heard no noise. Gabriella huffed; folding her arms over her chest Troy couldn't help but laugh at her childish actions. "What are you laughing at, fat face?" Troy gasped, fake of course.

"Excuse me! My face isn't fat it's quite cute." He sent her that smile that everybody loves; Gabriella mumbled something inaudible under her breath. "If you want a response make sure I hear." Gabriella sent him a playful glare, which Troy (once again) laughed at. He seemed to be doing this a lot around Gabriella, Laughing. He hadn't had a good laugh since Chad got drunk and performed the Spice Girls 'Wannabe'. Gabriella groaned.

"Are we almost there?" She wined. Troy shook his head.

"Yes we're nearly there. Correction, we are here." Troy motioned for her to stay seated which caused Gabriella to grow even more impatient. Troy ran around to her side of the car and opened her door, helping her out like a real gentleman should. Gabriella smiled.

"Thank you. Now where are we?" Troy pointed to some trees. "Whoa, trees? I'm so glad you dragged me out here to see what I have in my back yard." Gabriella replied sarcastically, Troy took her hand and led her into the weeping willows, pushing their way through the leaves and branches until they came to a clearing. Gabriella gasped.

"Do you remember?" He asked, still holding her hand.

"Of course how could I forget?" They stood in front of the weeping willows looking out onto the perfectly still lake reflecting the starry night sky to perfection. "Here…" She said walking out onto the little dock "Is where you told me you loved me for the first time. And here…" She said walking over to the base of the willow tree "Is where we had our first kiss. And here…" She was cut off by Troy's lips gently brushing against hers, his tongue pleading for access and who was she to deny? They slowly pulled back "Is where you said good bye."

Celina hung up her phone for the fifteenth time. She was getting impatient. It was now nearly eleven; he should've been home over 3 hours ago. She groaned angrily before picking up her phone and dialing Troy's number. She was met with the robotic voice.

"Hi, you've reached the message bank of." The robotic voice stopped and was replaced with Troy's.

"Troy Bolton." The robotic voice was reaching her ears once more.

"Please leave a message after the beep and they will do their best to get back to you." She heard the loud message tone before blowing up.

"Troy David Alexander Bolton, you better be laying dead somewhere or have a very good excuse up your sleeve. I've been calling all night. You were meant to be home 3 hours ago. Get your butt back here or so help me God…"Her voice trailed off. "Get back here Troy! Please?" She hung up sighing in exasperation.

"Where are you?" She whispered to herself.

Grace, still up listened to her mother leave yet another angry message on Troy's phone. She couldn't help but wonder where he was. He's usually home to tuck her in, he's usually around when they had the family dinner, but today he wasn't. She was worried but not the extent her mother was. She knew her father was a big boy and could take care of himself if need be.

They stood there in silence, not awkward nor was it comfortable. Just silence.

"Do you remember when we came here with the gang that one time?" Troy asked trying so desperately to change the atmosphere. Gabriella giggled.

"I do. Sharpay wouldn't swim because her bathers were 'new'. Taylor and Kelsi wouldn't go on the boat 'because they claim to be sea sick. And Jason jumped off of that tree branch and broke his arm." Troy nodded

"Yeah that's right and Zeke made those really great cookies but those stupid birds came and attacked us. I still say that was an unfair fight. They had sharp objects, what did we have? Oh that's right the cookies." Sarcasm lacing his voice as he answered his own question. Gabriella laughed.

"Well there were more cookies you just wanted those particular ones." Troy laughed and coughed once his laughing had ceased. Silence fell over them once more. Troy glanced down at his watch.

"We have to go." He grabbed her hand. Chucked Gabriella her keys so she could drive him home.

Grace looked out of her window as she heard a car pull up in front of her house. She saw to figures get out and meet at the hood of the car. She recognized the male as her father but she couldn't place the other figure, but the way her father just touched their hair she guessed it was a woman.

Celina had given up and collapsed on the couch, her glasses and book still on the table blanket still away. The sound of the TV had lulled Celina to sleep half an hour ago.

Troy and Gabriella stood in front of her shiny black car.

"Thanks for the lift."

"No problem." She looked down at the ground, her hair falling in front of her face.

"Gabriella?" Troy whispered causing her to look up. He reached out and placed the hair blocking her face from his view behind her ear, he slid that hand down her jaw line, down her neck, down her chest, her stomach and came to a halt at her hips. He placed both arms around her hips bringing her in. "Thank-you for tonight." He kissed her lightly on the lips, before he or she could deepen it, he pulled away. Entering his house, he found his wife asleep on the couch. As he placed her on their bed her heard Gabriella speeding off in her Audi.

Grace could not believe what she saw. Her father had kissed another woman. Whoa talk about a TV moment. Grace heard her father's footsteps and dove into bed pretending to be reading.

"What are you doing up?" He asked removing her book from her hands.

"Nothing." He kissed her forehead.

"Go to sleep squirt, we've got a long day tomorrow." He backed out of her room, shutting the door gently behind him.

Troy couldn't believe it two kisses with Gabriella. Grace couldn't believe it her life was a TV show and today was just one of her TV moments.
