A/N Gahh! I'm free! Liberation! XD I found my book and I'm on a roll, I'm so so so so so so so so so so so so so so, well I think you get the point from here. Anyways, I'm soooo sorry I didn't update sooner. But you know, life's been hectic, but I'm loving it anyways! I hope you guys didn't give up on this story or something like that. I know there is a lot of fics like this out here now, but I thought I'd finish it, just for you guys. Ok, enough chit-chat! Let's get a move on people! And here's with chapter 5! Almost everyone wanted me to continue from the alternate chapter 4. I hope I didn't disappoint you with this chappie……. Since you guys said you liked Sharpay nice, I put her nicer, but I will put parts where she snaps for no reason and just loses 'it.'

XD

Expect The Unexpected When You Least Expect It.

Sharpay's P.O.V.

"Whoa," Maddie breathed out.

"That's usually the reaction we get when people see our house. You'll get used to it though." Ryan said happily. I walked past them and opened the front door.

"Good afternoon Sharpay." Our butler, Martin said, "you have a guest."

"We do?" I asked confused.

"Yes, a Gabi or Abby she said her name was. She's in the kitchen right now helping Maria wash the dishes."

"Hey Martin! Meet our long lost triplet sister, Madeline Margaret Genevieve Miranda Catherine Fitzpatrick slash Evans." I'm really starting to worry about Ryan. Why is he being so happy all of a sudden?

"Uhh, hey Martin! I'm Maddie, but you already know—"

"Hey Sharpay!" Gabriella said appearing from no where.

"Ahhhh! What's that behind you? Ahhh!" I screamed hysterically.

"Where? Where? What is it?" Gabi asked frantically while turning around. I took the chance to push Ryan and Maddie back out of our front door.

"I think it's a spider! A Daddy Long Legs too!!" I said knowing fully well that Daddy Long Leg spiders were the ones she was most afraid of.

It was either; Maddie and Ryan knew exactly what was happening or they were too confused to react, I've got dibs on the first one. Knowing they would go through the back door, because it was the only other way they could've gotten inside the house, I slammed the front door shut.

"I don't see anything….." Gabi said puzzled.

"Ohh, well, it must've been our dog." I replied stupidly. I mentally slapped my forehead for that one.

"Your….dog? But how could you mistake a spider for your dog?"

"Weren't you listening, I said it was proberly our dog's fur."

"Ohh, hey-- you don't have a dog!" She said her eyes gleaming from the chandelier hanging from the roof.

"Ohh, you just didn't see her because she's….at the vet! A puppy has to get her shots!"

"Really? What kind of dog is she?" Gabriella asked curiously, I didn't know she was this into animals.

"Uhh, well……. you know…." My acting skills may be great but I don't know anything when it comes to dogs, or animals for that matter.

"So, G-G, what are you doing here? In my house, uninvited, on a Saturday afternoon, cleaning?" I asked her getting straight to the point.

"Well you see Taylor was studying so I couldn't go over by her and of curse you know it's not like I can go over by Chad and hang out. And Troy's over by his Grandparents so I figured, 'Hey! Why don't I go by Sharpay and Ryan?'"

I heard the back door slam. Why is everyone slamming doors today? As sudden as the question appeared in my mind, as sudden the answer appeared. Ryan was giving me some sort of signal, now all I have to do is find out what it means.

"Shar, we're—I mean, I'm ready…………….for my close up!" Ryan said while walking into the living room from the kitchen.

"Ohh, so I'm just some sort of back up friend you have in case everyone's busy?" I asked her, I wiggled my eyebrows and pretended to be angry.

"Ohh, well you know how it goes." She sighed dramatically and fell unto our living room couch. "I'm just kidding! Today's our monthly sleepover! Taylor, Kelsi, Troy and Chad are on their way. It's going to be sooo much fun!"

"That's today? As in March the 17th? Which is today?" There I go babbling again.

"You guys didn't forget, did you?"

"Of course not! We'd never forget something as important like that!"

Suddenly, a blurred ring tune rang through the mansion. I knew it was a ring tune because my old cell phone had that same tune on it. Gabriella jumped up from off the couch and headed for the stair.

"Is that my cell phone? I left it upstairs, be right back! It's proberly Taylor." Ryan and I breathed out sighs of relief.

"Wait a second, Maddie's upstairs with her bags!" Ryan exclaimed suddenly before he sprinted up the stairs.

Maddie's P.O.V.

I dived for my bag as my cell phone rang. Ryan told me to go upstairs into Sharpay's room after we ran up the stairs. He didn't tell me which room was hers, but then again, how could anyone miss it? It had a big glittering star and her name under it.

Which one is it? Which one is it? I desperately tried to remember which bag my cell phone was in. Finally! I pulled it out violently and dived into Sharpay's closet, which wasn't a walk in closet as I would've expected but who cares about that right now? I hid behind her winter jackets and looked through the cracks in the door, just as her door opened and a Hispanic looking girl with brownish blackish hair bounced into the room.

My cell was no longer ringing as I had sadly, ignored the call from London. Sure I wanted to speak to her, but it was just not the time! The girl walked over to Sharpay's dressing table and picked up what I assume was her cell phone. She looked at it oddly before she put it back on the dressing table.

"That's funny, I thought I heard my phone ringing?" She merely shrugged her shoulders and walked around Sharpay's bed tripped over my bags and fell with a loud thump. Sharpay slammed open her bedroom door and looked around for Gabi but didn't see her.

"Where is she?" Sharpay asked Ryan worriedly, "You don't think she found—"

"I'm over here," Gabriella said and embarrassingly stood up and dusted imaginary lint off of her clothes. Her cheeks were bright red as she continued," I tripped over some bags, I didn't see hem and I –Who's bags are those?"

"Uhh, mine! Umm… Aunt Helene brought them back for me when she went to Canada. She only now sent them and Martin must've brought them up for me!" Sharpay stuttered, trying to get her lies to flow.

"Ohh, well ok. Tay-Tay's outside I think. I just got a message from her! Let's get this party started!" She clapped her hands them took a step over my suitcases and walked out the room. Someone's on a sugar rush.

"Maddie? Maddie? Where are you?" Sharpay whispered out.

"I'mb phere." I spat out one of her long sleeves that found it's way inside of my mouth and kicked open her closet door.

"That was a close one! But you know what this means right?" Ryan stated seriously.

"Yes—we have to can-"

"MORE PIZZA!!" Ryan shouted out happily cutting off Sharpay.

"Ryan, let's focus with the problem at hand and I promise you, you'll get pizza."

"With cheese?" Ryan asked wide eyed, his ocean sea eyes gleaming with even more excitement.

"Yes, with cheese." Sharpay sighed, while shaking her head.

"Did you call me?" the Hispanic looking girl appeared in Sharpay's doorway with a bottle of water in her hand.

"Nope! But, I was going to call for pizza!" Ryan said happily, "wanna help?"

"Ok! Shar--…..pays?" She glanced over at me and Sharpay and blinked her eyes several times before Ryan spoke up.

"Pizza? Gabi? Hello?" Ryan waved his hand in front of Gabriella's face and shrugged his shoulders after he turned back to face us.

No one spoke. There was just a deadly silence. I was wondering how this Gabi girl, as Ryan called her, was going to react to seeing two of the same person. I'm positive Ryan and Sharpay were thinking about it too. I still don't see what the big surprise is though. I see double, well I used to see double all the time back at the Tipton. I looked up and saw the Gabriella girl's eye's bulging as she re-opened her bottle of water and took a sip.

"Are you ok, Gabi?" Sharpay asked.

"I don't think so, why?"

"Because, all of your water fell inside of your shirt." Ryan said, finishing it off for her.

I suddenly felt so out pf place. Here, in Sharpay and Ryan's house. In Sharpay's room and so on. It was awkward having someone you didn't know gawk at you for looking like someone you don't even know properly. I felt a knot in my stomach, I didn't want to be there anymore. With them, the Evans. I wanted to go back to the hotel that was filled with everyone I knew and loved. An icon I saw on msn as Corrie's picture flashed through my mind. Life isn't trying to pass me buy, it's trying to run me over! How fitting.
