Authors Note: At the moment, on Imdb, where I originally posted this story, it's on chapter 30 and its not finished even finished yet. I'm still trying to decide whether I should continue after the holiday and into the new term or just stop while it's going strong. But you don't have to worry about that now. I just thought I'd let you know what's happening till chapter 30, well, the whole mood of it, not the actual story cos I don't want to give anything away. I doubt this is gonna make much sense but oh well, I'll try.

First, it's gonna get sad, then sadder, then happier again, and happier still, then it goes a little hhmm, then it gets sad, then it gets DEPRESSINGLY sad, but it gets better and happier, but its still a little iffy, then it gets happy again, and that's roughly where I am now.

Wow, that really didn't help did it?

Chapter 5: Mischief on the Dance Floor

That night, the girls are getting ready for the evening dance.

Taylor: Right, should I go with the blue dress or the red dress
Gabriella: the blue one, there are less frills on that one
Taylor: Oh god, I don't usually get this worked up about a dance. I'm nervous, I don't know what to do with my hair, and I've just realised I have a very bad dress sense.
Gabriella: Don't worry you'll be fine. The blue dress is actually quite nice
Taylor: okay
Taylor walks back into the bathroom
Gabriella: Kelsi, you okay? You've been awfully quiet?
Kelsi: yeah I'm fine.
Kelsi continues to read a leaflet about hotel security
Gabriella: You not gonna get ready for the dance?
Kelsi: no, I'll just go the way I am
Gabriella: Don't you wanna look nice?
Kelsi: Why there's no one to look nice for
Gabriella: Well what about Jason?
Kelsi: What about Jason?
Gabriella: I thought there was a thing going on with you two
Kelsi: think about it, why would he want to go out with me?
Gabriella: I can think of a few reasons...
Kelsi: he never liked me and he never will.
Gabriella: don't be so down about it. I'll tell you what, we'll get you all dressed up and he will fall in love with you. And if he doesn't, then he's stupid and he should (A/N I always use that sentence whenever one of my girl friends is upset about a guy and it always cheers them up. Recommended!)
Kelsi: (smiling at last) I guess it could be kinda fun
Gabriella: Right

Second song: I gonna get

Gabriella:
What's wrong with going out
having fun with your friends
What's wrong with letting go
Of all your troubles
yeah yeah yeah
What's wrong with breaking out
of your shell
for just one night
yeah
I'll tell you what
There's nothing wrong
I can feel it going on

(Chorus)
All girls:
I'm gonna get my fancy shoes on
I'm gonna dance all night
I'm gonna get dazzely dress on
He's gonna faint at the sight
of me
I'm gonna put my hair up
So it wont get in way
Nothings gonna stop me now
I don't care what people say

yeah yeah

Taylor:
I just a little nervous
What if I don't do it right
Kelsi:
I know I shouldn't worry
But I'm such a horrid sight
Gabriella:
There's no way you can do this wrong
and you're gorgeous anyway
Remember I used to be like you
now look at me today

Woooooo
(Chorus)
I don't care what people say!

(end of song)

There's a knock at the door
Troy: Girls are you ready yet?
Gabriella: Nearly!
Then all three girls open the door and look fantastic
Troy: Wow, you look great!
Gabriella: Thanks. You're not too bad yourself
Chad: Wow! Oh my god!
Taylor: What? What's wrong? Is it the dress?
Chad: No, its just, you look... fantastic
Taylor: Oh right, Thanks
Jason: um, you look pretty nice too Kelsi
Kelsi:(blushes) oh, um, okay…uh thank you
Zeke: Well now that we've established that everyone looks great, are we ready to go?
Chad: Awww don't worry, Zeke, you look pretty yummy too
Everyone laughs and heads down to the dance floor.

It's already pretty full. Lydia and Sharpay are standing next to the DJ.
They see the gang coming in and talk quietly.

Sharpay: You said I didn't have to do anything

Lydia: It's nothing really; all you have to do is make some polite chitchat

Everyone starts dancing with each other until Gabriella has to go to the bathroom leaving Troy standing on his own. Sharpay walks over.
Sharpay: Hey Troy
Troy: Hey
Sharpay:(smiling awfully widely) I take it you'll be appearing at the talent show next week
Troy: Talent show?
Sharpay: Yeah, there's one every year. They always organise it at the time Ryan and I are here so we can go ahead and win it. But I can see there's gonna be some competition.
Troy: Well I wont worry about it. I'm sure you'll do fine
Then Sharpay starts laughing loudly
Sharpay: Oh Troy you're so funny!
Troy:(bewildered) what did I say?
Sharpay: Oh never mind!
She walks away and Gabriella comes back from the bathroom
Gabriella: Hey what was all that about?
Troy: I have no idea!

Sharpay walks over to Lydia
Sharpay: Sorted
Lydia: Very good Sharpay. Now its my turn..

To be continued...

Author's Note: I know, the song sucked but it was all i could think of at the time. I'll let you know when i post a song that i am really proud of. Anyhoo, in the next chapter we see Lydia act out her part in her evil plan. ( Plan Laugh) Cough Anyway, hope you liked it, if you scrolled down and read this far.
