Musical

Kelsi Nielson walked up behind her boyfriend, Troy Bolton, and clasped her hands around his eyes. He lightly jumped and she choked down a giggle. "Who is it?" Troy asked in a monotone, like he knew exactly who it was.

"Guess." Kelsi whispered in his ear and she saw him smile from the side of his face.

"Um a complete jerk?" He asked and Kelsi dropped her hands away from Troy's eyes.

"You're so mean!" She exclaimed and he turned to face her.

"I know." He said and then he planted a kiss on her lips. "So, what are we doing today?" He asked her and Kelsi simply shrugged her shoulders.

"Why would we do anything today?" She asked slyly. Of course there was plenty of reason to do something and celebrate. It was Troy's birthday, and Kelsi had a plan all figured out for him.

"Now who's being mean?" Troy asked and Kelsi knew that it was time to spill her well devolped birthday plan.

"Okay, okay. We are going to see RENT!" She told him and she smiled widely.

Troy's eyes widened and he smiled at Kelsi. "Really?" He asked her and Kelsi nodded.

"Yep, the tour dropped by this state this weekend." She told her boyfriend. Although Kelsi and Troy had only been dating for a couple of months, and Troy wasn't all that huge on the musical thing anymore, he still enjoyed them well enough.

"Awesome. You rock." He lightly added and Kelsi laughed at him, she was really growing to love him.

"The show starts at seven tonight. So meet me at the door." She told him and then she quickly walked away, there was still more to do for his birthday surprise.

At seven Kelsi spotted Troy walking through the crowd to meet her. "Hey!" She exclaimed once she saw him.

Troy quickly smiled at Kelsi and then kissed her on the cheek. "Hey." He told her back.

"Are you excited?" She asked as they paved their way to the front door of the theatere.

"Yeah I am." Troy answered nodding his head. "You've told me about this musical so many times, I'm past ready to actually see it." He told Kelsi and she smiled again. This was going to be a great night.

After the musical Kelsi and Troy basically bounded out of the theatere. "That was way better then you could've ever described it." Troy annouced as they made their way down the street.

"I know, it's amazing." Kelsi agreed. Troy pulled away to make his way back home but Kelsi stopped him. "We're going somewhere else." She told him and Troy shot her a quizzical look. "Just follow me." Kelsi convinced him.

Crossing the street the couple made it to a tree and Kelsi paused by it. "You took me to a tree?" Troy asked confused and Kelsi nodded her head in response.

"Yeah…just wait." She added in a mumbled as she reached into her pocket. From there she fished out a small hunting knife and held it up in the night air. "Here." She stated and Troy flashed her another confused look.

"I don't get it…" He finally admitted and Kelsi shrugged her shoulders.

"I thought that we could carve our names into the tree…." She told him, holding out her last breath, in hope that Troy would like the idea.

"Really?" He asked his girlfriend arching up his eyebrows.

Kelsi nodded her head again and looked up at Troy through her glasses. "Yeah. You like it?" She asked and Troy nodded his head right away.

"Yes. It's amazing. That you Kels." He answered and Kelsi smiled at her boyfriend.

"No prob." She responded and then she took the knife to the tree. Carefully she wrote Troy + Kelsi into the tree and then she looked up at Troy. "What do we equal?" She asked him, not sure of what his answer would really be. She was on the brink of love, but she could never tell how Troy felt for sure.

Troy glanced over at Kelsi from the tree for a solid minute and then shoved his hands into his pockets nervously. "How about love?" He asked and Kelsi nodded her head.

"Just what I was thinking." She answered and she carved the word into the tree. Stepping back the couple looked at the tree. "So?" Kelsi asked reaching for Troy's hand.

"It's awesome." He answered and he looked over at Kelsi and her gaze followed. "I love you." He whispered and Kelsi nodded her head.

"I love you too." She told him and Troy smiled at her. Reaching down he kissed her on the lips and Kelsi didn't feel happier then she did at that moment.
