A/N: Thanks for everyone that reviewed! Please keep reviewing! There is some Ryella in this chapter but over all a fluffy funny chapter.
Sharpay woke up slowly to the bright sun shiny from her window. She felt someone running their fingers over her stomach and smiled. She turned around and was greeted with a pair of ocean blue eyes.
"Hey" she whispered as Troy kissed her forehead.
"Hey yourself" he whispered back.
"You know, I'm starting to enjoy thunder storms." She said playing with his hair.
"So I guess I will be coming over here a lot every time I hear about a thunderstorm?" he asked.
"Well I'm hoping you will be coming over a lot more than that. It gets pretty lonely in this big house." she said as Troy chuckled.
"What about Ryan?" he asked as Sharpay smiled. She than sat up.
"Oh my god Ryan!" she said. Troy sat up next to her.
"What about hi- wait, didn't he stay at Gaby's house last night?" Troy asked looking at Sharpay, who had a 'duh' face.
"Shar, I still don't get it. What's the big deal?" Troy said looking at Sharpay as she got up.
"Hello? Ryan and Gabriella, who like love each other, spending the night together and if memory serves right which it does, Gabriella's as scared of thunder storms as I am." She said walking into her bathroom.
"Are you suggesting that they finally got together?" Troy asked putting everything together. Sharpay poked her head out of the bathroom to look at him.
"Yes Troy! Now I'm gonna take a shower then you can go. We have to get to Gaby's house and fast." She said looking at him.
"Shouldn't we just call them and ask or something?" he asked. Sharpay looked at him again.
"Do you think they would actually tell us?" she asked as Troy shook his head.
"I didn't think so. Now I'll be right back." She said as she walked into her bathroom. Troy smiled as he lay back down on the bed when he heard his phone. He got up and looked at the caller ID.
'Shit, it's Chad. Calm down Troy, calm down.'
"Hello?"
"Hey man, what happen last night?"
"What are you talking about Chad?"
"Well you called me last night telling me to cover for you saying you spend the night here and told me you would explain to me this morning. So I covered, its morning, spill. Where are you?" Chad asked curiously. Troy rubbed the back of his neck. Sharpay came over to him and saw him on the phone.
"I'm at, uh, Gaby's house." He said as he mouthed Chad to Sharpay who nodded.
"You're at Gabs? Why?" Troy looked at Sharpay.
"Because we were watching a movie at her house and her mom made me stay because of the storm. Anymore questions Sherlock?" Troy said quickly.
"No, I'm good. Oh, Tay just got here. I'll see you later man" Chad said as he hung up. Troy breathed a sigh of relief.
"Nice save Troy." Sharpay said.
"Why thank you. Now I believe you are dying to know what really is going on at Gabriella's house. So let me get dressed and I'll meet you downstairs." He said giving her a quick kiss. Sharpay smiled, grabbed her purse and went downstairs.
She looked around the kitchen and smiled remembering what happened the night before. The kitchen had never looked cleaner.
"What you thinking about?" Troy asked wrapping his hands around her waist from behind her.
"I don't think I have ever had so much fun like I did last night. I know it sounds stupid but it's true. Thank you" she said turning around in his arms.
"It's not stupid and you welcome. It was my pleasure. Love you." He whispered kissing her.
"Mmm…love you too. Now let's get to Gaby's house and see what my brothers up too" she said grabbing her car keys. They walked out to Sharpay's pink convertible and Troy groaned.
"Oh Shar. You want me to get into this car?" he said as she slipped into the driver's seat.
"Troy, you walked over here last night and do you see any other cars here?" she asked as Troy sighed defeated and got into the car.
"Your lucky I love you because that is the only reason I am doing this." He said and Sharpay smiled.
"You don't need to tell me, I know I am" she said as Troy grabbed her hand and kissed it. Sharpay put the top of her car down and drove towards Gabriella's house.
At Gabriella's house (while everything was going on with Troypay)
Gabriella woke up to the sun shining into her window. She looked outside seeing a beautiful day as if the storm last night never happened. Gabriella smiled as she remembered last night and turned around and looked up to see Ryan looking at her smiling.
"Hey" she whispered softly.
"Hi" he said back.
"Ryan, do you regret last night?" she asked him.
"Not one thing" he said and she smiled as she laid her head on his chest.
Flashback
"Ok I'm going to go to bed Gaby. Ryan's all set up in the guest room and I have to leave work early tomorrow and won't be back late so behave." Maria Montez said to her daughter.
"Don't worry mami, I will" she said as she walked into her room. Just then a bolt of lighting and thunder came and Gabriella jumped.
"Gaby, you going to be ok tonight?" her mom asked her.
"Yea, yea I'll be fine. Good night mami and thanks for letting Ryan stay" Gabriella said.
"Of course, I wasn't going to let him go back home in this storm. Now get some sleep. Good night."
"Night mom" Gabriella said as she crawled into bed and tried to sleep.
Gabriella looked towards her window, jumping every time she heard thunder. She got up and walked out of her room towards the guest room. She stood in front of the door and looked over at Ryan sleeping.
'What are you doing here Gabriella? Mom's room is the other way' she thought to herself as she dragged herself back to her room thinking why she walked over there in the first place.
She lay down in her bed facing her window clutching onto her pillow. It was always the same with thunderstorms. It was just something she was not a big fan of and only Troy and Sharpay knew that. Another bang of thunder and Gabriella sighed. She was never going to be able to sleep tonight.
"Gabriella?" someone said. She sat up in her bed and looked towards her door.
"Ryan? What are you doing here?" she asked still hugging her pillow to her chest.
"Well I…I thought…did you come into the room?" he asked her walking towards the bed.
"Umm" just then a big bang of thunder roared through the house and Gabriella gasped. She closed her eyes and buried her head into the pillow she was holding. Then she felt someone pull the pillow away and hold her tightly. The rain grew louder and she buried her head into Ryan's chest. He rubbed her back as she held onto him tighter. Ryan picked her up and sat down on her bed with Gabriella next to him, still in his arms.
"Shh Gabriella, its ok. It's just a storm. I'm here" he whispered to her. Gabriella lifted her head and looked at him.
"Ryan, please don't leave, ever" she said as Ryan looked down.
"I never will, I promise" he said as he brushed a piece of her hair behind her ear. Ryan looked at her brown eyes and she looked into his blue ones. They both leaned in and closed the little gap left between them. Gabriella wrapped her arms around his neck and deepened the kiss. She pulled back and rested her forehead against his.
"You don't know how long I've wanted to do that" Ryan whispered, his breath sending shivers down Gabriella's back.
"I think I do" she said as she kissed him again.
End of Flashback
"What you thinking about?" Ryan asked her, playing with a curl.
"Nothing, just how you were my Knight in Shining Armor last night." She said giggling. He smiled pulling her closer.
"And I always will be." He said as she smiled and kissed him.
With Troy and Sharpay
Troy got out of Sharpay's car and walked towards the door of Gabriella's house. He was about to knock when Sharpay grabbed his arm and stopped him.
"What do you think you are doing?" she asked as he looked at her.
"Umm, knocking on the door. That's usually what you do when you're at someone's house to let them know you are here" he said as Sharpay rolled her eyes.
"The whole point is that they don't know we are here Troy because if they do, they will make it seem like nothing ever happened when I know for sure it did." she said. Troy crossed his arms and looked at Sharpay.
"And how to you expect to get in then?" he asked. Sharpay looked around and smirked when she looked up towards Gabriella's balcony. Troy saw what she was looking at.
"Oh no Sharpay. I am not climbing that thing. Yours is hard enough" He said.
"Why not? It's not like you've never done it before." She said as Troy looked at her.
"How do you-" but Sharpay cut him off.
"Game of truth or dare. That's how I found out of Gabriella's fear of storms and vise versa" she said as she walked over to a tree in front of Gabriella's balcony.
"What about her mom?" Troy asked following her.
"Her cars not here meaning she's not here and again, not like you've never done it before." She said as Troy shook his head.
"You girls go into too much detail" he said as she giggled.
"Sharpay, I still don't know if we should do this. What if we see them how they wouldn't want anyone else to see them, if you get me" he asked as Sharpay sighed.
"Then close your eyes. I'm curious and Ryan or Gaby won't tell us if we ask so we are going up there whether you like it or not" Sharpay said as Troy sighed.
"Fine, but let me go up first to help you up" he said starting to climb the tree. Once they finally got on the balcony Sharpay looked through the glass doors and gasped.
"Oh my gosh Troy I was right look!" she screamed as Troy looked inside and saw Ryan and Gabriella pull apart from their kiss.
"Sharpay, Troy!" they both screamed. Gabriella opened the balcony doors and crossed her arms over her chest as Ryan stood behind her.
"Well?" Gabriella said looking at the couple in front of her.
"Have anything to say?" Ryan asked.
"Actually yes" Troy said and was about to continue before Sharpay cut him off.
"FINALLY!" she screamed.
