Thanks for the reviews from those who did. As for the question about my Sophie and whether or not she looks like Sophie from Beautiful People. The answer is no, my Sophie is a more defined beauty, with sort of high-ish cheek bones, but not too high. I've posted a picture of what she looks like on my profile…MWAH!

XOXO

Chapter 3:

"Zac! Wake up!" Vanessa pulled back the covers of his bed to reveal him sleeping in a long shirt and shorts.

Zac grumbled and turned onto his back, "why so early?"

"Because, we've decided that we all wanted to go out shopping for new clothes. Especially for today's party!"

"Party?" Zac asked as he got himself up and went over to the bathroom to brush his teeth. Vanessa followed him inside.

"Yah, didn't you know? There's a party being thrown for us, and everyone's going!" she replied excitedly.

"Who's going to be there?" Zac asked as he spit out the toothpaste mixture in his mouth.

Vanessa thought for a moment, "well, there's everyone who's been with Disney, so Miley Cyrus, Ricky Ulman, Aly and Aj, the Jonas brothers are going to be there" she said, knowing that Zac was friends with them.

"Yah? Who else?"

"Um, Hilary Duff, her sister, her boyfriend, Fall Out Boy's going to be there. They're actually going to play. Jesse McCartney. People from the cast of One Tree Hill and the O.C, as well as a couple of the guys from Supernatural. Lots of WB and Fox stars" she replied.

Zac whistled to himself, "that's a lot of people"

Vanessa nodded with a grin, "I know! Isn't it great?"

Zac got out of the bathroom with Vanessa on his tail, he turned around to find her staring at him expectedly.

"So who are you going to bring?" Vanessa asked him.

"Bring?" Zac asked her, he didn't know he had to bring someone.

Vanessa nodded, "yah, everyone's bringing a date. Who are you taking, Zachary?"

Zac rolled his eyes at the use of his full first name, "I don't have anyone in mind. Do you wanna go with me as friends?"

Vanessa smiled at him and shook her head, "sorry bud, but I've already got a date. Remember Alex from the red carpet?"

"Yah" Zac answered, though his memory of the name was vague.

"Well, we sort of hit if off and I asked him to go with me. He said yes!" she squealed, "so know we have to find YOU a date!"

Zac collapsed back onto his bed, "I think I'll just go alone. Maybe I'll find someone there?"

Vanessa bit her lip, as though she had an idea but didn't want to say it.

"What is it?" he asked knowing she wanted to say it.

"well" she drew out as she moved closer to him, "why don't you ask that girl out"

"What girl?"

"The one that plays your wife in the movie? Ashley told me she was really nice" Vanessa replied. Well, Ashley actually told her that she thinks that Zac and Sophie would hit if off amazingly if they weren't such damn asses.

"Sophie?" Zac laughed in disbelief, "You want me to take Sophie to the party. As my date?"

Vanessa nodded excitedly, "so? How bout it?"
Zac was about to say no, when he thought about it for a moment. They could just go as friends, that way he wouldn't look like a complete idiot showing up at a party without a date. And she is, like he's mentioned before, really hot, so he'd be able to make the rest of his friends jealous by showing up with her.

"Sure, I'll ask her"

ZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZS

Zac got onto the set early to look for Sophie. He couldn't find her anywhere so he stopped searching after a while. He'll just see her at rehearsals later.

He stopped at the big white room where Jack had asked him to meet him around nine. He stood there waiting until he heard the door open and laughter erupt from the other side.

"I swear, you are the most hilarious thing I've ever met!" Tom sang out as he walked in with a laughing Sophie and Jack behind him.

"And that's just one Christmas story, you guys should hear the rest" Sophie grinned.

Jack chuckled and then turned to Zac, "finally on time, boy. I guess we should get started then"

Zac nodded and sat at the table along with Sophie, while Tom and Jack decided to stand.

"Okay, you two, now we are going to start filming in a couple of weeks so I have assigned Tom to keep an eye on your progression with your relationship and they way you've handled the script. You're rehearsals with the rest of the cast begin later in the day, but every morning I want you two hear, practicing to be married and in love. Because that plays a very significant role in the mood and result of the movie. If you can't convince Tom that you are in love, then you sure as hell won't convince any adults or teenagers that you are in love either" Jack warned them, "So begin!" Jack walked out, leaving Zac, Sophie, and Tom alone in the room.

Tom got up and handed them each a script, "Look you two, I'm gay, so this whole man and woman relationship isn't my thing. Which is way Jack assigned me here. Convince a gay man that its possible for a man and woman to really be in love, you might just turn me straight"

Sophie smiled and Zac turned and looked at her, "what?" she asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Nothing" he shrugged and turned away.

"Oh mon dieu! Where shall we begin? Ooh, this is a sexy scene, how about here?" Tom turned his script around so that they could see what page it was on.

Zac nodded and flipped through his script and once again he saw the word kiss, followed by the words against the wall. He turned to Sophie and could of sworn her cheeks had turned a red color when she looked up at him.

"That's right you two, it's the scene where Jake finally decides to take action and stop being such a wimp. So he takes his girlfriend and kisses her oh-so-passionately. Of course, dear Samantha is surprised by his spontaneous actions, which leads her to love him even more. This is also the scene where he first tells her he loves her" Tom clapped his hands excitedly, "lets get started with the kiss!"

"What! Tom, shouldn't we do the entire scene first?" Sophie suggested.

Tom turned to her with pursed lips, "is there a reason you are hesitating to do the kiss, my little Ms. Sophie?"

Sophie turned to Zac and then back to Tom, "other than dreading kissing him" she points to Zac, "no, none at all"

Zac turned to her and said, "what's wrong with kissing me?"

Sophie sighed and shook her head, "look Zac, I'm just not in mood at the moment"

"Well, this movie isn't exactly based on your mood Sophie, we're professional actors. Well at least I am. I don't have time for someone like you" he answered, getting really bothered and annoyed.

"Oh, right, professional, I see that you get it from doing a Disney movie" she scuffed, "I wonder where your Oscar is then?"

Zac clenched his jaw, "okay, you know what, I don't really give a shit about doing that part either, but its my job, so suck it up and pull whatever stick is up your ass out"

Sophie turned to him with a glare and was about to reply when she was interrupted by Tom, "you two, shut up! We are doing this kiss, and we are doing it now! Zac, you are going to grab Sophie from the waist, push her up against the wall and kiss her, god dammit!"

Zac turned to Sophie angrily, there was just something about her that made his blood boil at that moment. He walked up to her and grabbed her roughly by the waist, taking her against the wall, making her gasp.

"Excellent Mr. Efron! Magnificent passion!"

Zac laughed on the inside, knowing it wasn't passion that was pushing him to do this, but a deep anger and frustration. He looked up at her, their bodies pressed against each others, and once again, his heart rate increased. He could feel her hand ran up his back to his neck, softly sending tingles up his spine.

"Now kiss! Declare your love for each other with your lips!" Tom announced.

Sophie looked up at Zac, staring straight into his eyes. She gave him a smirk, but he could see a small dot of fear in her eyes. 'What was she afraid of?' Zac thought to himself. But his train of thought was broken when she spoke up and said,

"so, are you going to kiss me or what?"

Zac smirked at her before leaning down and pressing his lips against hers roughly. Her mouth opened slightly as she returned the kiss.

Zac felt like his whole body was on fire as he slide hand from her waist to cup the side of her face. She deepened the kiss by tracing her tongue against his bottom lip. Zac felt her hands running through his hair and around his waist.

And finally, when he felt like he couldn't breathe anymore, Zac pulled away. His eyes stayed locked with hers as he felt her chest move breathlessly against his. She stared up at him speechlessly, not knowing what to say to what happened between them until,

"That was beautiful! People are going to have orgasms from just watching this movie with the way you two are!" Tom exhaled, "just beautiful!"

Zac nodded and moved away from Sophie, and slowly walking back to his seat. Sophie followed suit and slide slowly into hers.

"You forgot the line Zac" Tom piped up.

Zac looked at him confused, "what line?"

"You're supposed to tell Samantha that you love her and want to spend the rest of your life with her" Tom reminded him, "but that's okay, I could tell there was no way you'd be able to remember after…that"

Sophie blushed and looked down, staring at her hands as though they were the most interesting things in the room.

Zac sat in his seat, still recovering from the kiss. 'Its probably just because I was mad at her' he said to himself, but knowing that the feeble excuse was not the proper explanation.

"Okay, so we're actually going to go on practicing lines know, instead of intimate scenes, since I think we've all been blushing a little too much lately. Oh, how about we practice scene 5?"

ZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZSZS

Zac walked back to his trailer an hour later, exhausted. The light footsteps behind him made him turn around slowly, hoping it wasn't some fan that had snuck into the set.

It was Sophie instead.

"Hey celebrity" she smiled, "you forgot your cell phone in the room, I thought I would bring it to you, you know, as a good, level headed person" she tossed him the cell phone.

Zac nodded and there was an awkward silence between them.

"well, okay, I have to-" Sophie started.

"Wait, I wanted to" Zac moved closer to her, his 5'9 frame towering her 5'7 figure, "I wanted to ask you if you would come with me to this party that they're throwing for the cast of High School Musical"

Sophie was silent for a moment, as though the lack of space between them had taken away her sense of speech, but she recovered quickly and replied, "couldn't find anyone else who would say 'yes' to you, Superstar?" she quipped.

Zac rolled his eyes and turned to leave when she answered, "pick me up at 7:00"

Zac grinned, not turning around as he heard her footsteps quicken towards him. He felt her hands on his back and the light scent of her perfume as she leaned over and whispered in his ear,

"Stand me up and I swear, I will make kissing me a living hell with garlic"

Zac turned to her, once again finding her face seconds away from his, "who said it already isn't?"

Sophie grinned at him and then punched his arm before turning around and walking away.

Zac watched her hips swing as she danced her way to the set, his head shaking in laughter and his grin growing larger.
