Disclaimer: I do not own anything except the plot.

Troy Bolton slowly opened his eyes and readjusted to the darkness of the room. He realized it wasn't his room but soon remembered the night before and smiled. But when he turned around, he saw the bed was empty.

He looked up and saw Sharpay sitting next to her window watching the rain outside. With the help of the street lamps and the occasional lighting, Troy could see her perfectly. She was sitting with her legs crossed with only the Wildcats t shirt he had on before with the word 'Bolton' on the back. Her hair in a loose ponytail and he thought she looked more beautiful than ever. Another flash of lighting came and he saw a tear roll down her cheek as she hugged herself. Troy sighed knowing exactly what was wrong.

He got up and walked over to her quietly. He wrapped his arms around her from behind and kissed the top of her head. Sharpay sighed but leaned back into his embrace.

Sharpay was cold but Troy was so warm even only in his boxers. This was something Sharpay always loved about him. His warmness inside and out.

She sighed again catching his attention. Troy picked Sharpay up and sat down with her on his lap.

"What's wrong baby?" Troy asked as he rubbed her back. Sharpay looked up at him before laying her head back on his chest.

"Not a big fan of thunder storms"ﾝ she whispered. Troy was going to ask why when he remembered about her dad.

"Then why are you sitting here looking out at the rain?" he asked her. Sharpay shook her head.

"I don't know. But it's not too bad. It's just rain and-"she was cut
off by a bright flash of lighting and a loud bang of thunder. Sharpay gasped as she dug her head closer into Troy. Troy picked her up and carried her back to her bed. He lay down and wrapped his arms around her. Sharpay buried her head into her chest and let her tears flow. Troy didn't know what to do except hold her while she cried. After a couple of minutes, Troy noticed Sharpay had stopped crying.

"Hey, you feeling better?" Troy asked. Sharpay nodded her head against his chest as she looked up at him.

"A lot better. Thank you Troy, for everything." She whispered. He kissed the top of her head as she snuggled closer to him. They stayed in the same position, just enjoying each others company until Troy's stomach began to growl. Sharpay giggled as she looked up at Troy.

"Looks like somebody's hungry" she said as Troy slowly nodded his head. She laughed as she got up, grabbed his hand and pulled him off the bed.

"C'mon, we'll make a late night snack" she said walking down the stairs. Troy stopped and looked at her.

"Sharpay Evans, Ice Queen of East High can cook?" he said his mouth open in mock shock. Sharpay walked up to Troy, her face inches from Troy's.

"Watch your tongue Bolton" she whispered before turning around and skipping down the stairs. Troy shook his head and walked down the stairs with a smile on his face. All the lights were off and Troy could not see anything. He made his way to the kitchen by the occasional flash of lighting, lighting up the room.

"Shar? Sharpay where are you?" Troy asked as he made his way around the counter. A small light turned on, coming from somewhere between the cabinets. It wasn't a bright light, but bright enough to light up the whole kitchen. Troy turned his head toward the light and jumped a bit when he felt someone touch his bare chest from behind. He relaxed when he realized it was Sharpay.

"If there is one thing you never do is underestimate Sharpay Evans." She whispered, her breath tickling his ear. Troy shuddered as she grazed her fingers up and down his chest, still behind him.

"I can make a mean batch of cookies. Better than Zeke's I bet. Wanna try some?" she whispered kissing just under his ear. He nodded his head before grabbing Sharpay's hand and kissing it.

"But only if I get to help" he whispered back. Sharpay giggled softly as Troy turned around and pressed his forehead against hers.

"Fine, but you have to do what I tell you to do" she whispered softly.

"Any day princess, any day" he whispered leaning down to kiss her, but Sharpay turned around and smirked at him before walking over the refrigerator. Troy sighed realizing this was going to be a game he would not win.

Sharpay set the eggs and the milk on the counter before walking over to the cabinets. Troy watched her every move with the help of the little light, still their only source of light. Sharpay got on her tip toes and reached up to grab a bowl.

As she reached up, Troy's shirt that she was currently wearing rose up. Sharpay felt someone watching her and smirked. She got back down, flat on her feet and turned around to look at Troy. She walked back over to the counter and then bended down to get something from under the sink. Troy didn't think he could control himself any longer if she kept this up.

Sharpay smirked when she felt Troy grab her and lift her up on top of the counter.

"Giving up that easily Bolton?" she whispered. He brushed his lips against hers than pulled away.

"Not a chance princess" he said, walking back towards the counter.

"So, you gonna teach me to bake these delicious cookies of yours?" he asked looking over at her. Sharpay smiled jumping down from the counter and walking over to her boyfriend.

"Yes but let me warn you, it's kind of hard to learn." She said smiling. He smiled back.

"Ok well let's get started. Crack those eggs Troy and put them in the bowl." She said. Troy smirked and Sharpay noticed looking over at him.

"What's so funny Bolton?" she said mixing something together.

"Nothing." He said looking at her then he decided to have a little fun. He stuck his hand in the bag of flour without Sharpay noticing and walked over to her, his hand behind his back.

"Except you have a little something right there." He said walking up to her.

"Where?" Sharpay asked looking at him.

"Right there" he said as he threw the flour in her face. Sharpay gasped and looked at him, her face and hair covered in flour.

"Troy!" she screamed. Troy started laughing hard.

"You know, you look kind of cute when your mad and full of flour." He said through his laughter.

"You are so dead Bolton" she said, but before Troy could do anything, he felt Sharpay splat an egg on his head. Sharpay walked back and crossed her arms over her chest with a smirk.

"Oh you better wipe that smirk off your face princess because you're going down." Troy started walking over to Sharpay slowly. Sharpay backed up before she hit the counter. Troy leaned forward and whispered in her ear.

"First the teasing now this. Just so you know princess, I never lose" Sharpay looked up at him.

"Neither do I" and with that she ducked making Troy kiss air and ran towards the other end of the counter.

Troy laughed and turned around to have a mix of something thrown in his face thanks to Sharpay. Troy rubbed his eyes and opened them to see Sharpay running towards the refrigerator. But Troy was quick and ran towards her. He was on side of the counter and Sharpay was on the other. She moved to the right, but so did he. She then moved to the left, but so did he. Sharpay looked up at him as he smirked. She looked down at the sink in front of her with a pull out hose. Troy followed her eyes.

"Sharpay don't you-" but he was cut off as Sharpay pulled out the hose and soaked him with it. She stopped and looked at his face. She started to laugh so hard; she closed her eyes and held her stomach. Bad mistake. Troy took this as an advantage and walked over to her and grabbed the hose. Sharpay stopped laughing when she felt water on her. She gasped again and Troy put the hose back and smiled.

"That's it Bolton" she ran to get the bag of flour, but Troy noticed and ran towards it too. He grabbed Sharpay by the waist and picked her up.

"AHH TROY PUT ME DOWN!" she screamed at him but Troy just threw her over his shoulders and smirked.

"Not a chance princess. I told you I never lose" he said. Sharpay lifted up her head and looked at him.

"Fine, how about we both back out at the same time and go back to my room and do everything but sleep" she whispered into his ear seductively. Troy put her down but kept his arms around her waist.

"Ok on the count of three. One, two" before he could say three, Sharpay kissed him quickly on the lips than pulled back.

"Three" she whispered. Troy smiled and looked down at his girlfriend.

"Good, now that that's done. Let's get a snack, clean up your kitchen, and than each other." Troy said smirking, tightening his grip around her.

"Your bad Bolton but I love you anyways." She said leaning towards him.

"Love you too princess oh and by the way, don't ever tease me again because you know I can't resist." He whispered and Sharpay smiled.

"Deal" she said before closing the gap between them.
