t was about 5 days after Christmas, and the gang is now at the Ski Lodge in Colorado, and each couple had their own room, except for Ryan, he had his own room. Gabriella and Troy showed them everything, well except for the most important thing, where they first really met.

"So Troy, when are you going to show us the famous place where you and Gabi first met?" Jason asked while the guys were playing basketball. (A/N You know, in the place where Troy and his dad were in the movie in the beginning)

Troy just took the ball from Jason, and answered, "Well, we were thinking about showing you tomorrow night, since its New Years Eve." Chad just looked at him and said, "Awe how cute Troy."

The guys continued to play basketball for awhile longer, and then went to shower and get dressed because they were taking their girls somewhere special for dinner.

Meanwhile back with the girls…

"Where do you think the guys are taking us?" Sharpay asked while they were in Taylor's room doing their hair, make-up and such. Gabi replied, "I don't know, usually Troy can't keep a secret, and I can usually get something out of him, but this time I can't." The girls just laughed and shook their head at her.

Just as the girls finished up, Chad walked into the room, not really walked in, sort of barged in. When he came in and saw the four girls sitting around on the floor, and on the bed, he looked at them and then smiled, "Not to be rude, well actually yeah, to be rude, can you guys get out while I shower? You can go back to your own rooms and watch your own boyfriends shower."

Not only what Chad said made the girls laugh, but also the look on his face. "Sure Chad, we'll leave because we know what you really want to do with Taylor," Kelsi said. "Ha ha, aren't you a funny one Kels." Once that was said, they all left and went back to their rooms.

With Troy and Gabriella...

"So Troy how was basketball with Jason, Zeke, Ryan and Chad?" "It was fun, Ryan has gotten a lot better since the last time that we played together. I think that if he tried and wanted to, back in High School he could have been on the team with us, and I'm not kidding Gabriella." "Wow, who would have thought that Ryan Evans could have been a jock too, and not just in the Drama Club."

"Well Gabi, I'm going to take a shower, seeing as how you're already ready for dinner," Troy said, as he was taking his shirt off walking into the bathroom. (A/N.. Now if I were in her shoes and I got to see him without a shirt on, I think I would literally die! Anyway, back to the story) "Wait, Troy I just have one question," Gabi said before he closed the door. "if it's about where we're taking you, I'm sorry, I can't tell you. You're just going to have to wait like the other girls."

Gabi just looked at him and gave him her best puppy dog face, he could never say no to her puppy face. "Gab, the puppy face isn't going to work this time, I'm sorry," he said as he kissed her and then closed the door. 'I wonder if the other girls are having anymore luck' she thought.

About half an hour, the 9 of them had arrived at the restaurant.

"Oh my gosh, you guys this is amazing!" Kelsi said as they walked into The Dakota. (A/N I don't know if there's a Dakota in Colorado, but there's one where I live, so…)

They followed the waitress into a room that was reserved just for them, upon Chad's request.

After they finished dinner, Chad wanted to get everyone's attention, so he did what they do in the movies. He took his glad and hit his knife against it, except he hit it a little to hard, and broke it which earned him a light slap from Taylor, and laughs from everyone else.

"Well, now that I have everyone's attention, I would like to say something." Ryan just looked at him and said, "Sure man, the floors all yours."

"Thank you for your approval Ryan. Taylor, ever since the first time I saw you as a freshman, I knew you were the one for me…" At this point everyone knew what he was doing, well except for Taylor.

"Everyday I told myself that I was going to talk to you, but I always chickened out. I guess I was afraid of what everyone would think if a jock talked to a science geek, although I never thought you were a geek. Until Gabi came in junior year and changed Troy for the better I never thought we would be together. Everyday I thank fate for bringing Gabi here, and bringing you and I together. I know it's only been about 2 ½ years since we began dating, but I love you Taylor and I want to spend the rest of my life with you."

At this point, Taylor had tears in her eyes while all of the guys were holding their loved ones close.

"Taylor, will you marry me?" Chad asked as he took the diamond ring out of his pocket and gave it to her.

Taylor was now crying harder until she finally said, "Wow Chad, of course I'll marry you!" With that they kissed as everyone cheered.

Sharpay was the first to say anything, "Congratulations you two. I always knew that Troy and Gabriella and you and Taylor would be the first ones out of our group to get married."

Once they paid, they all decided to go back to the lodge. They all went to bed, except for Troy and Gabriella. They went outside and sat with some hot chocolate and just watched the snowfall in silence.

Gabi finally spoke up and said, "I'm so happy for Chad and Taylor, did you know he liked her that long?"

"No Gab, I didn't, but let's not talk about them, lets talk about us," Troy said.

She just looked at him and said, "Okay Troy, what about us?"

"How about our wedding? Do you have an idea about when, where, and how big? Small with just close family and friends, or everyone?"

Gabi slide over so she was leaning against him and he put his arm around her and held her close.

"Well…" Gabi started, "I always wanted a small wedding with close friends and family in May."

Troy looked at her and gave his award winning smile. "Alright, then a small wedding in May it is. Where do you want to have it? I was thinking in either of our backyards."

"Troy, that is a great idea," Gabi replied while taking a sip of her hot chocolate. "How about your backyard since it's bigger?"

"That's fine by me and Start of Something New as our wedding song?"

"You read my mind Troy," she said as she shivered.

"Come on baby, you're cold and it's getting late, let's go back inside." Troy said while getting up and helping Gabi up to walk inside.

When they got back to their room, they changed into their pajamas, and got into bed.

"I can't wait until tomorrow night when we finally show everyone the place we met," Gabriella exclaimed.

"I can't either Gabi, I wonder if that crazy guy is still there so I can thank him." (A/N…I know it's a teen party and they're 20, but lets forget that! LOL)

After Troy said that, he leaned over and whispered to his fiancé, "I love you" and then kissed her softly on the lips while placing an arm around her and pulling her close. She whispered back, "I love you too," and then they slowly drifted off to sleep.

There you go, chapter 5. Hope you liked it! I'm in the process of writing the next chapter, and it's going to be about Troy and Gabi showing the gang where they met. I might not update until the weekend because of school, homework, softball…but I'll try! Well, you know the drill, now it's time to review! Thanks!
