"Okay, bedtime is 9:30, make sure that Melissa finished her homework, and does conditioning for her sports program," Sharpay said without pausing.

"Okay," Zeke said, "Bye Sharpay," Zeke said as him and Sharpay kissed goodbye.

"Bye Munchkin," Zeke hugged Allison.

"Bye Daddy," Allison hugged her father back, "Bye Melissa,"

"Bye Ali! Bye Mom!" Melissa waved goodbye to her sister and mom, as the two drove off.

With that, Zeke and Melissa went inside.

"Dad, why can't we go to the game?" Melissa asked. "I know that mom said we wouldn't, but it's the playoffs!"

"You really don't ever give up, do you?" Zeke asked his daughter.

Melissa nodded her head 'no'.

"I suppose, but you have to finish your homework first," Zeke said trying to stay calm about it, and be the 'adult' in the situation. Truth be told, he really wanted to go to that game

"Okay," Melissa replied.

"Also, just don't tell Mommy, okay?"

"Okay," Melissa agreed, going to her room to finish her homework.

Zeke went to the kitchen, and began making an early supper for the two, so that they could make it to the game.

Twenty minutes later Melissa appeared in the kitchen, her book in her face.

"Finished with your homework already?" Zeke asked Melissa.

"Uh huh," Melissa replied, not looking up from her book.

Zeke smiled. Melissa reminded Zeke of her parents so, so much.

The two ate dinner (which was a basic pasta and marinara sauce), and made bets on which they thought would do better at the game. So what if they only bet nickels, it was the concept that mattered.

Finally, Zeke called Jason and told him that him and Melissa would be there in a few minutes.

Zeke and Melissa picked up Jason and his son Kyle, and they were off to the San Antonio Spurs stadium.

"Now presenting the San Antonio Spurs!" A males voice boomed over the loudspeaker.

Zeke, Melissa, Jason, and Kyle took their fifth row seats, and settle in.

The announcer presented the D-Fence, the Middles, and finally were about to move on to the forwards,

"And on left forward we have Jimmy Thoms!"

Jimmy ran out and into his position.

"On right forward we have Chad Danforth!"

Chad ran out and into position, while Jason gave Zeke a look.

"And recently- traded TROY BOLTON as center!"

Troy jogged out, flashing his literally billion, possibly trillion- dollar smile.

This time Jason pointed to Melissa and mouth to Zeke.

"Does Melissa know?"

"Gabi- Mom told me in her last letter, but that's not why I wanted to come," Melissa informed the men.

"And Danforth passes to Bolton who dunks and scores!" The announcer shouted.

The crowd went wild.

Soon halftime came. The Spurs were leading the Lakers 40- 20.

"Speaking of Danforth…" Zeke turned around to see Taylor standing in the aisle near them.

"Auntie Taylor!" Melissa ran over towards the woman, and was twirled in Taylor's arms.

"How are you Mel?" Taylor asked.

"Good,"

"And what's today's book pick?"

"To Kill A Mockingbird," Melissa replied.

"That's my girl!" Taylor beamed, turning to Zeke. "And how have you been treating my God- Daughter?"

"He's been good…" Melissa replied, trying to hide the sadness, and wishing that she would be able to meet Gabriella and Troy. "And Auntie?" Melissa said holding up a Spurs jersey. "Can you please ask Uncle Chad to get the team to sign this?"

"Sure baby," Taylor said kissing her Goddaughter on her forehead, and taking the jersey from Melissa. "And don't worry, you'll get to meet Troy someday," she whispered in Melissa's ear.

Somehow Taylor always knew what Melissa wanted. Maybe it was because she knew Melissa's Mom so well.

"Bye!" Taylor waved. And with that, Taylor was off.

The game ended (Which the Spurs won), and Taylor brought back the jersey.

"Here's the jersey Mel," Taylor said handing the jersey signed by all of the players and coaches that we present at the game. "And… I have a note from Troy- Dad," she said handing Melissa a sheet of paper ripped from a notepad.

"Oh, and Zeke and Jason, you guys are welcome to join Chad and I at Sherry's Sweets over on twenty- fourth if you'd like,"

"I don't know…" Zeke spoke cautiously, "It is a school night, and I promised Sharpay that I'd get Melissa to bed on time,"

Melissa gave Zeke a 'puppy face', obviously wanting to spend time with her Godparents.

"Fine!" Zeke gave in, "But only for twenty minutes, and that's because I need to talk to Sherry about a fudge recipe,"

Melissa smiled, obviously satisfied.

"Okay, so we'll meet you there in fifteen minutes,"

Zeke, Melissa, Jason, and Kyle piled back into Zeke's jeep, and began driving to Sherry's Sweets.

Suddenly, the car in front of them came to a sudden halt.

"Look out!" Melissa screamed.

Jason tried to stop the car in time, but he wasn't quick enough, and his car rear- ended the car in front of him.
