Not a word was said. Everyone sat in silence. The only sound that could be heard was the soft humming of the cars engine. This is the moment they had all been waiting for, the moment that could possibly change their lives. Grace sat in the back her eyes fixed on the objects passing her by, all mixing together to form one blurred object. She didn't quite know what she was feeling right now. It was a mix of emotions including; excitement, nervousness, fright and she was even a little bit angry. I mean she was incredibly excited to be getting the Goss on her mother, but nervous of what impression she'd make when they met, she was frightened incase she screwed things up and she was angry, but not at herself. At her biological mother. Angry because she left her, gave her away, disowned her even.

The car slowed down, pulling up outside a homey looking café that the Bolton's (and Amy) had become very familiar with. They all got out from the car leaving only Grace. She was frozen to her seat, unable to move.

"Come on G-B." Amy encouraged placing her forehead on the window.

"I'll buy you a muffin… of your choice." Troy said moving to stand besides Amy. That's all it took. Within seconds Grace was standing on the foot path next to her family/friend.

They entered the warm café, a little bell ringing as they opened the door. The usual blonde girl behind the counter ran over taking Grace in her arms before squealing.

"Grace, you've gotten so grown up sine the last time I saw you." Grace was released from the death grip as she laughed.

"Shar, you saw her last weekend." Troy pointed out.

"Now, Mr. Bolton to what do I owe the pleasure of your company?" Sharpay walked closer to Troy and Celina.

"Not a what, a who. We're meeting with Ms Maguire." Sharpay turned to Celina giving her a kiss on each cheek.

"Who's that?"

"Adoption lady." Sharpay gasped

"You guys having trouble? Don't worry keep trying you'll have luck just like with little Gracie here." Sharpay reached over and made a mess of Grace's newly straitened hair. Grace turned away whilst muttering under her breath 'Not the hair'

"You can drop the act Shar, she knows. We're here to find her parents. Now can you ask for a Ms Maguire to come to the front?" She nodded her head and went into the kitchen returning with Zeke at her side. Troy rolled his eyes but regretted it because she caught him.

"What Troy? I'm not good with electronic equipment." Troy shook his heads before Zeke sent the message over the PA announcing Ms Maguire was needed at the counter. Zeke said a quick hello before ducking back into the kitchen due to pile up of orders. As Zeke disappeared a fairly large lady with obviously unnatural red hair approached the counter and Sharpay.

"I was called to the counter? Did I drop something?" Sharpay shook her head and pointed in the direction of the Bolton's plus Amy. Ms Maguire nodded and waddled over to Troy sticking out her hand for him to shake.

"Andie Maguire. I presume you are Mr. Bolton?" Troy nodded and introduced Amy and Celina when it came to Grace he was cut off.

"Oh my. Little Grace? You sure have grown up." Andie took a step towards Grace, who took a step back, her actions insecure.

"Yeah I sure have." Grace let out a nervous laugh before Celina suggested they take a seat at a table. The made their way over to the far right corner seating themselves in an appropriate sized booth.

"So let's get down to business."

Gabriella felt a fool. She had embarrassed herself through text! I mean come on! Who does that? She sighed as she reached for the Television remote and her land line phone. She punched in the suitable numbers waiting for the other line to pick up. After ten rings and still no answer she gave up and dialed the alternative number. After four connection sounds a voice broke through.

"Hello, Danfourth residence." Gabriella giggled shaking her head.

"Come on Taylor, you have caller ID! You knew it was me!" She heard Taylor chuckle and then heard a faint bang.

"Max that better not be broken!" Taylor shouted. Gabriella could hear the sound of her footsteps as she neared the source of the bang. Taylor gasped. There was the expensive family heirloom vanity mirror (which previously was in perfect condition) with a huge shard of glass missing from the base which was now shattered on the floor creating a dangerous mess. "I told Chad not to let him use that inside" Taylor muttered before turning her focus back to Gabriella.

"Look Gabs, I'll talk to you later Max broke the vanity. Remember in half an hour we have dress fittings and stuff. Bye kisses."

"Kisses?" The dial tone sounded signaling the disconnection between the lines. After Taylor got married she (for some strange reason) got into the habit of saying kisses instead of bye adding a pet peeve to Gabriella's previously empty list.

Gabriella sat in front of the Television watching a DVD of Scrubs. As the credits started to roll, a loud horn sounded repetitively. She peeked out the window before realizing it was Sharpay and Taylor ready to go dress shopping. She grabbed her bag running towards the car, locking the house before she left.

"Gee Gabs! Take you time." Sharpay joked as Gabriella made herself comfy in the back of the limo.

"Gee Sharpay! Shut up!" Gabriella spoke sarcastically before the girls broke out into laughter.

--

The girls all entered the bridal shop titled 'Ravish'. A lady with black hair and green eyes approached them.

"Welcome to Ravish, I'm Sara. What's the special occasion ladies?" Sharpay giggled whilst Taylor and Gabriella rolled their eyes at their friends behavior.

"Wedding." Sharpay giggled out.

"Ahh a wedding. Which one of you lovely ladies is the bride?" Sharpay stuck her hand in the air

"That would be me." She giggled out. Gabriella edged closer to Sharpay before whispering

"Sharpay why are you laughing? Nothings funny."

"No I know. I'm excited!" she whispered "I'm getting married." She exclaimed drawing the whole shops focus to her.

"Well that was mildly unhelpful." Grace said as she took her seat in the back.

"Yeah, so much for new information" Troy sighed as he stuck the key in the ignition. He was about to put the car in reverse when his phone rang.

"Yello? Fine… 10 minutes? See you then" Troy hung up his mobile shoving it in the glove compartment as he slowly reversed out of his parking space.

"You and Troy kissed?!" Gabriella nodded as she picked up her glass of champagne and put it to her lips letting the golden bubbly liquid slide down her throat.

"Twice." Taylor gasped before mimicking Gabriella's actions with her champagne. Sharpay rounded the corner in a white gown and a smile on her face. She spun around

"So…what do you think?" Gabriella and Taylor turned their heads towards Sharpay.

"It's alright. The 8th one was better though." Sharpay nodded.

"Yeah you're right. By the way the flower girl will be coming in soon." Sharpay turned and went to change back into the 8th dress she tried on.

After dropping Celina and Amy at home Troy headed for his next destination. About three minutes later the car came to a stop.

"Grace, Out." He ordered.

"Why." She snapped

"Because." Grace jumped out of the car sliming the door behind her. "Be careful young lady. Now go inside." Grace rolled her eyes as she stomped her way into the shop but stopped dead in her tracks when she realized where she was. To her left and right hung the most beautiful dresses, each one a different shade than the one before.

"Gracie, Over here." She spun around and saw Taylor and the back of someone's head. She smiled and made her way over.

"Hi Tay, and hi umm." The other person (Gabriella) turned to face Grace.

"Hi again Grace."

"Dr Montez? H-h-hi." Her words were unsure. Dr. Montez, Gabriella or whatever her name was had kissed her dad!

"Gabriella." Gabriella corrected her.

"What was the point of that meeting today if she told us nothing that we don't already know." Troy complained as he fell onto their soft, comfy couch. "We know she wanted to be anonymous, we know she was a single parent we know all this! She didn't give us anything new." Celina took out a big yellow envelope.

"Yes she did. I just didn't want Gracie to know till we've met with her. It wouldn't be right" Troy's eyes widened.

"How? I mean when? I mean how and when did you get that?" Celina placed the envelope on the table with care.

"When Andie and I went to use the rest rooms. I had called her prior to the meeting and explained that I didn't want grace to know till we meet with her mother." Troy looked over at the envelope.

"Should we open it?" He asked. Celina nodded. Troy out stretched his arm picking up the envelope with care before taking a deep breath. "You ready?" Celina just nodded.

Troy closed his eyes before take one more deep breath.

Here we go, big yellow envelope you have all the answers.
