You Can't Find the Words to Say
Disclaimer: If I'd own HSM, which I won't, Ryan and Gabriella will be together.
At the baseball diamond, Gabriella and Ryan where watching the little league they played with usually. The announcer said, "And Cody Meyers takes the field, first base, second base, third, it's a home run! And the ECC wins!" Everyone cheered as Gabriella and Ryan hugged each other jumping. The team then went up to them. "Are you guys up for ice cream?" Gabriella asked. They cheered about Gabriella's suggestion. Gloves and hats were thrown up.
At the ice cream parlor, every player had their ice cream with something on top. Ryan and Gabriella shared a banana split. Gabriella had the chocolate side, Ryan had the vanilla side, and the both shared the strawberry, the banana, and everything else. "Wow, Ryan can you believe how much time has passed?" Gabriella asked. "That's right, it's two days before the Fourth of July," Ryan answered. "Oh, right," Gabriella had shy look on her face. "What's wrong?" Ryan asked. Gabriella replied, "You know that Sharpay's pool party is coming up." "Right." "Well, who knows what she's going to do to me. She might even have some help from her "Sharpies". "Sharpettes you mean. Look Gabriella don't worry, I'll try not to let Sharpay hurt you. I promise." "You really mean it?" "Yes I do. Isn't that what couples are suppose to do?" "All right. Thanks Ryan." Even though Ryan tried to make her feel better, Gabriella still had worry-ness in her.
As The Fourth of July came along, everyone was having fun. Except Gabriella, she was sitting alone in a chair. Ryan was talking to his bandmates until he saw Gabriella's worried face. "Are you okay Gabriella?" "Oh yeah, I'm fine." "Are you sure?" "Don't worry Ryan, I'll just wait here." "Okay, I'll check up on you." Ryan went back talking to his bandmates. Sharpay and the Sharpettes then came over to Gabriella. "Hey Gabriella, why aren't you in the pool?" "It's all right, I'll stay here." "No I insist, go ahead and get in." "I don't really want to." "Don't worry, we'll help." Sharpay and the Sharpettes then picked Gabriella up. "Sharpay, what are you doing?!" "Relax, this is only going to be just a sec." "Sharpay stop it let me go!" Gabriella started screaming in terror. Ryan then heard her and rushed over. "Will you guys stop it?!" Ryan snapped. The Sharpettes then put Gabriella down. She then started to cry and ran out to the gate. Ryan had a worried look on his face. "Ryan, what do you think you're doing?" as Sharpay got Ryan's attention. "What do you think you were doing?" "She was being the little fraidy-cat. Besides, she was just like always trying to get your attention." "That's your job isn't it Sharpay. Look Sharpay, I am done with your crap! I'm going to find her whether you like it or not." Everyone looked at Ryan walk out the gate.
Gabriella was at the beautiful garden, where she and Ryan passed by on his vespa. Ryan rushed over to Gabriella and saw a sad look on her face. "Gabriella, are you all right?" "Not really, it's just that Sharpay doesn't want to see us together." "Well it's her problem, not ours." "I don't know, it seems like it's gym class all over again. But then we wouldn't kiss if that didn't happen." "I didn't mean for this to happen. I just had a feeling she was going to do something like this to you. Look, I'll be around you the whole time." "Okay, only if you stay close to me in the pool." "Are you sure?" "Don't worry, if I'm with you I might get over my fear." Ryan then hugged Gabriella, just as she hugged him back. Gabriella then said, "Thanks…for being my night and shining armor." "Your welcome," Ryan replied.
Back at the pool party, Sharpay and the Sharpettes were almost glad that thing went according to plan, "I bet that Ryan has his mind made up," Sharpay said. "We finally humiliated Gabriella. This turned out to be the best Fourth of July ever." "Actually Sharpay, it is," said a familiar female voice. Everybody looked at Ryan and Gabriella holding hands. Sharpay was shocked the most when she saw that. "Ryan what do you think you're doing?!" Sharpay snapped. "I'm doing what I want to do," Ryan replied. "And Sharpay, if it wasn't for that incident, I wouldn't be here right now," Gabriella added. "So thanks for everything." Ryan and Gabriella then jumped in the pool together. "This isn't fair," Sharpay shouted. "How dare they get away with this!" Taylor then "accidentally" pushed Sharpay in the pool. Sharpay then screamed and yelled out, "I HATE EVERYBODY!!!!!" "Wow, and I thought the pool might cool off her temper," Gabriella joked.
As the night arrived, Mr. Evans was having trouble starting the firework show. While this was going on Ryan and Gabriella looked at each other. "It's hard to believe that tomorrow I have to go back home," Gabriella said. "I know, but you can visit here anytime you want," Ryan replied. "Thanks again Ryan." Mr. Evans then cussed, "Damn those fireworks! I paid good money for this!" Gabriella and Ryan then laughed at Mr. Evans' profanity. "Should we help him?" Gabriella asked. Ryan didn't know what Gabriella meant at first until he realized. He then sighed and said, "Why not." They both leaned in to each other and kissed. While that was happening, the fireworks started to work. "Oh finally!" said Ryan's father. Gabriella and Ryan then stopped. "Promise me you will never forget what happened," Gabriella said. Ryan replied, "I won't." And they both didn't forget the amazing summer vacation they had together.
This isn't the exact last chapter. The last, last chapter is the epilogue.
