Disclaimer- I own High School Musical! Just kidding. Unfortunately I don't.
A/N: Hey everyone. Thanks for all the reviews. I will like to thank everyone who gave me ideas for a song. I narrowed it down to two. They were "At the Beginning with You," idea given by Oceans Mourning and "All I ask of You," idea given by xXMaddie FitzpatrickXx. These were two great songs, but unfortunately I had to onlychoose one. So I chose "All I ask of You." Thanks you for all who gave me ideas. So this chapter is dedicated to xXMaddie FitzpatrickXx! Hope you enjoy.

Chapter 5: All I Ask of You
"That is not possible. Those are already done. This is the couple's audition. If you don't have a partner, then you can't audition. I'm sorry, Sharpay. Maybe the next musicale."
"But Ms. Darbus…"
"I'll sing with her!" said a nervous Troy. Both Ms. Darbus and Sharpay were shocked. "Mr. Bolton." Ms. Darbus said in disbelief. Sharpay was just standing there, stiff as a piece of wood.
"Yes." he said. He looked into Sharpay's hazel eyes. Her stare was blank. "Is that okay with you?" he asked her. She got out of her train of thoughts. "Of course… not." she said.
"What?" asked a confused Troy.
"What do you mean you can't?" asked Ms. Darbus.
"I'm sorry Ms. Darbus, but I cannot work with… with… him." she said.
"Why?" Troy asked.
"Because." she said.
"Because why?" asked Ms. Darbus.
"It's personal reasons." she told Ms. Darbus.
"Well you're an actress. You should be able to act with someone, even you don't like them." he said. For some strange reason he wanted to sing with Sharpay. Sharpay turned to Ms. Darbus for help, but she was siding with Troy. "Yes, Miss Evans. You are an actress. Aren't you?" Sharpay knew that she wasn't going to win this battle. "Yes, Ms. Darbus. I am an actress." she mumbled.
"So?"
"So I will sing with Troy Bolton."
"Good. Now that that's all settled, you can go onstage and perform." she said, as she headed down her seat. Troy had on a goofy smile. Sharpay gave him a look that could kill. He didn't care. He was glad he was able to beat Sharpay Evans at something. The two walked to the stage, and the curtain fell down. They were standing behind the curtain.
"What song are we singing?" asked Troy.
"We are singing "All I Ask of You." Now if you don't know that song, then I suggest that you…"
"I know that song." he said, cutting her off.
"Excuse me" she asked in disbelief.
"I said that I know that song." he said.
"How?" she asked. Troy was remembering that before, Troy and Gabriella would watch movies on Friday nights. They would go to his house, order a sausage and pepperoni pizza, and watch romantic movies. It just so happened that Gabriella was a big fan of "Phantom of the Opera," and the two would watch 2 a month. The two even sang some of the songs. Their favorite song happened to be "All I Ask of You," and Troy memorized the whole song. "Well me and Gabriella used…"
"I don't care anymore." she said, cutting him off. She knew where it would be leading. How he and Gabriella sing it together when they are together. It made her want to puke just thinking about that. It wasn't that she hated the girl. Frankly, she would like her, if she didn't take what she wanted: the play, and…
"Ready!" said Ms. Darbus. Troy and Sharpay took deep breaths, not knowing what was going to happen
"And go!" The curtain went up, and on the stage were Troy and Sharpay, holding the mikes. The two were trembling. "You may go." said Ms. Darbus. The music began playing and the two lost themselves in the music. Troy began:
Troy
No more talk
of darkness,
Forget these
wide-eyed fears.
I'm here,
nothing can harm you -
my words will
warm and calm you.
Let me be
your freedom,
let daylight
dry -your tears.
I'm here,
with you, beside you,
to guard you
and to guide you . . .
Troy gazed into Sharpay's hazel eyes. Before, they were blank, but now, he saw passion in them, and for some reason he could not look away.
Sharpay
Say you love me
every
waking moment,
turn my head
with talk of summertime . . .
Say you need me
with you,
now and always . . .
promise me that all
you say is true -
that's all I ask
of you . . .
Troy
Let me be
your shelter,
let me
be your light.
You're safe:
No-one will find you
your fears are
far behind you . . .
Sharpay
All I want
is freedom,
a world with
no more night . . .
and you
always beside me
to hold me
and to hide me . . .
Sharpay gazed into Troy's bright blue eyes. She never noticed how beautiful they truly were, until know. For some strange reason she could not look away.
Troy
Then say you'll share with
me one
love, one lifetime . . .
let me lead you
from your solitude . . .
Say you need me
with you
here, beside you . . .
anywhere you go,
let me go too -
Christine,
that's all I ask
of you . . .
Sharpay
Say you'll share with
me one
love, one lifetime . . .
say the word
and I will follow you . . .
Both
Share each day with
me, each
night, each morning . . .
Sharpay
Say you love me . . .
Troy
You know I do . . .
Both
Love me -
that's all I ask
of you . . .
Anywhere you go
let me go too . . .
Love me -
that's all I ask
of you . .
Just as the song was ending, troy could not control himself and he gently placed his lips on Sharpay's cheek. Sharpay was caught off guard and was stunned. The music died down and it ended. The room was filled with silence. Ms. Darbus stood up from her chair and gave them a standing ovation. Others, soon followed her. "That was magnificent! One of the best performances I ever heard! I felt the passion, the emotion, everything! Truly wonderful! You are both definitely the stars. I don't even need to have callbacks for your roles! You two are in!" she exclaimed. She got up, grabbed her belongings and headed off. "Truly magnificent. Superb." she said as she disappeared. Troy and Sharpay looked at one another. "I guess we are working together." he said. She looked at him and smacked. "Don't you ever kiss me ever again!" she exclaimed. She stormed out of there, leaving a confused Troy.
A/N: Well that is all for now. Hope you like. Hope you like the song. In the original song, Raoul and Christine kiss, but I felt that that would be moving too fast. But don't worry, there will be plenty of Troypay moments in the later chapters. So until then, you know the drill. R&R.
