A/N: Ok, to the person that asked if I was a lesbian, no I am not. I have some friends that are. But, the whole wifey thing is just a joke between all of my friends. I just don't get turned on by women. :) Anyway, thanks to those who left reviews, they made me very happy! A special thanks to sayokay because it was the nicest review of all!

Chapter 6

Gabriella grabbed a diet coke out of the refrigerator and sat down on the couch to watch the news. Natalie was in bed. She muted the television when her phone rang. She picked it up quickly.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Gabi," Troy's voice came through the phone.

"Hey, Troy," she grinned.

"How are you tonight?" he asked.

"I'm just fine. What about you?"

"I'm okay. Hey, what are you doing tomorrow?" he asked.

"Umm…" Gabriella started to think, she didn't have any plans. "Nothing at the moment…"

"Well, how would you like to go out with me then?"

"Hmm… I don't know. I don't like to be seen with losers," she giggled.

"Oh, so you'd rather stay in?" he asked coyly.

Gabriella laughed nervously.

"I'm just joking," Troy said into the phone. "But, seriously, could you consider being seen in public with me?"

"I suppose I could," she smiled.

Gabriella quickly applied some lip gloss and strapped on her shoes. She walked into her living room just as there was a knock at the door. She opened it to see Troy standing there.

"Hey," Troy smiled. Gabriella smiled back. "Are you ready to go?" he asked.

"Yeah, just let me lock the door and we can go," Gabriella said as she turned the key in the lock. "I don't want anyone to break in. Not that I have anything valuable anyway. So where exactly are we going Troy?"

"Umm……well, to be honest with you I really don't have a clue," Troy said embarrassedly.

"Well that's nice to know," Gabriella said as she gave him a sideways smile.

They walked down the stairs and onto the street. When they reached the car, Troy opened the door for Gabriella and let her get in. She smiled at him as she sat down on the leather seat. Troy owned a very nice black corvette. It had a navigation system and seat warmers.

"So where do you want to go?" Troy asked.

"I don't know, you are the one who asked me out," Gabriella replied.

"Well I am giving you the honors of choosing where we go."

"But I don't want to choose. I hate deciding things like this," Gabriella whined.

"Okay, well do you want to go to the movies or eat something?"

"OOOOO, LET'S GO TO THE MOVIES!" Gabriella exclaimed. It had been a while since she had gotten the chance to go and not had to watch a kiddy movie.

"Okay, well since you don't like making decisions, do you want to see the Borne Ultimatum?"

"I haven't seen the first two," Gabriella said quietly.

"Well then…"

"OOOOO lets see HAIRSPRAY!" Gabriella said as she made Troy nearly wreck.

"Okay, okay. Calm down. We can see it as long as you don't sing."

"I promise, I won't sing. Wait a minute I thought that you liked my amazing voice," Gabi said eyeing him.

"I do, but…" Troy began.

"I'm just teasing."

Troy smiled as they pulled into the theater parking lot. He parked the car and got out to help Gabi out. He took her hand and led her to the box office. They waited in line for a few moments. When they reached the window, Troy dropped Gabi's hand to grab his wallet out of his pocket.

"We need two for Hair gel," he said to the woman.

Gabi looked at him like he was crazy, "It's Hairspray, Troy. How do you not know that? You work on Broadway."

"Well, umm… I haven't done any promotions for that. I really wasn't into the musicals. I worked for a magazine and then I met Jerry and he offered me more money and the rest is history," he smiled at her.

"Yeah, well, wait until Jerry hears about this," she giggled.

"No, please don't tell him," Troy whined.

"Fine, I won't if you buy me large buttery popcorn, cookie dough bites, and a large dr pepper."

"Eat much?" he teased.

"Shut up," she said as she rolled her eyes.

Troy got the tickets and headed towards the concession stand. He bought Gabriella everything she had asked for and walked with her to the theater. They sat in the middle row where they could put their feet up on the bar.

"We got here early," Troy smiled.

"Well, that's because somebody didn't make any plans," she giggled.

"I know that I suck, you don't have to remind me. I'm just bad about making plans. Plus, how was I supposed to know what you would feel like doing?" he asked.

"You're just supposed to know, gosh."

"Once again, my bad..."

--

During the second song in the movie, Gabriella looked over at Troy.

"Hey, you look like that guy," she whispered.

"Which one?" he asked.

"Link Larkin!"

"Umm… I don't see it."

"Troy, you look just like him. Are you sure you're not really an actor?"

"He doesn't look like me," Troy said looking at Gabi as though she were insane.

"Whatever," she laughed as he kissed her on the forehead.

A/N: Ok. So I'm sorry it took so long to get this up. I suck officially. But, yea… I know you guys are probably like 'DAMN! This girl really loves Hairspray,' and yes… I do… I have seen it 8 times! HAHA. I work at a movie theater though. 3 of the 8 times I watched it on the clock ahahaha. :)
