A/N: Hey ppl! This chapter was way too long cuz i also wanted to add the preparations. So I decided to seperate it into two parts. I know i said this will be the last chapter but it was just too long.

Declaimer: I own nothing except the plot.

(( Gabi P.O.V))

After Troy dropped me off I headed inside my empty house, anxious to call the girls and tell them what happened. There was a note laying on the kitchen counter.

Gabi,

I had some errands to do at the office sorry. Wont be here for dinner. I left some money in the drawer.

Love, Mom.

Being alone at home now didnt bother me much since I got used to it. I took the money and raced upstairs to my room. I was overjoyed and extremely happy that Troy finally asked me out! I had to call the girls and we need to do some shopping! I picked up the cordless phone on my night stand and dialed Taylor's number. She picked up on the third ring.

"Hello?"

"GUESS WHAT?!" I blurted out. I heard Tay giggle at the other end.

"What?"

"Troy asked me to the dance!" I shrieked. Taylor squealed so loudly I had to take the phone off my ear for a second.

"HE WHAT?! When??? OH FINALLY! Details girl! I need details!"

"He came to my locker after school while I was arranging my books and asked me! Oh god Tay. I completely made a fool out of myself!"

"What? Why?" she giggled.

"I just sat there with my mouth hung open in shock! It was embarrasing and Troy thought I'd reject him or something. Pfft. Yea right, as if that's going to happen" I laughed. I heard Taylor laughing at the other end.

"Oh Gabi! We have to get the girls and do some serious shopping"

"I know! I have nothing to wear for the dance"

" Are you busy at the moment?"

"No. I completed all my homeworks during free period and I have no tests. Why do you ask?" Although I think I have a pretty good idea why..

"I'll call the girls and we'll pick you up in..say..half an hour. Sound good?"

"Sounds perfect! Thanks Tay. See you soon. Bye"

"Bye"

We hang up and I went over to pick out my clothes and layed them on my bed. I went to the bathroom to take a shower. 15 minutes later I got out with a towel wrapped around my body.I pulled on a pair of skinny jeanz and a baby blue shirt with matching flip-flops. I left my hair in its natural curls and applied little make-up. I'm not really the make-up obssessed kind of girl. Just little mascara and cherry lip gloss. I grabbed my jacket and purse and headed downstairs. I heard a car honking outside and rushed out to see Sharpay, Taylor, and Kelsi sitting in Sharpay's pink 2008 Toyota Camry (how she got that color? No idea..) As soon as I took my place in the backseat beside Kelsi, all three girls squealed.

"I cant believe he finally did it!" shrieked Sharpay. I had to cover my ears from all the squealing and shrieking. I giggled and shook my head.

"I know. But Shar, thats not the point. We have some shopping to do. So lets get going!"

(( Troy P.O.V))

"Dude! You finally made your move!" exclaimed Chad. Chad, Zeke, Jason and I were at my backyard throwing some hoops.

"Yea man. I never thought you would actually do it" chuckled Zeke. I glared at him. First they were whining and complaining about how I should go and ask her out before another guy would, and now they're teasing me for doing it?

"Gee guys. Thank you for all your wonderful praises" I said sarcastically.

"Sorry man. We just cant believe you did it. But were proud you did" replied Jason. Chad and Zeke nodded their head in agreement.

"Whatever" The truth is I was beyond happy to have finally had the courage to ask Gabi out and that she have said yes. For a moment watching her, I thought I'd be rejected and then we'd have an awkward friendship and...lets just not go there.

(( Gabi P.O.V))

"Augh, my feet are killing me!" I flopped down on the couch next to Taylor. After 2 and half hours of shopping, we finally found our perfect dresses. The girls offered to stay with me at home since mom wont be here which I was grateful for.

"You?! How do you think I'm feeling?" said Sharpay. I glanced down at her feet. She was wearing pink high heels and her feet looked all red and swollen. I giggled and shook my head.

"Shar, your the shopping expert and you knew we would take such a long time. Why did you have to wear high heels?" I asked. She just groaned in response and sat on the other coach with Kelsi.

"Well, girls what's on the agenda for tonight?" asked Taylor.

"How about movies and pizza?" I suggested. The girls shrugged and nodded.

"All right then. I'll order the pizza and you guys could browse on my DVD selection. They're on the shelf over there" I went to the hallway and picked up the house phone. After ordering the pizza, I went back to the living room and saw most of my DVD's sprawled on the floor and the girls standing looking over them.

"What are you guys doing?" I asked giggling.

"Well Gabs, you have a huge selection of DVD's so we dumped them on the floor to have a better look" explained Kelsi.

"How about the Notebook?" said Taylor.

"Nah. Too sad. We dont want to ruin our cheerful mood now do we?" I said cheerfully. Sharpay raised her eyebrows at me.

"Cheerful mood? Whats so cheerful about having swollen feet?" I looked down at her feet which were still red and laughed.

"Fine whatever. How about this one?" I picked up a movie from the floor. Mean Girls read the title.

"Ooh. I've always wanted to see that one!" said Kelsi.

"Yea me too!" added Sharpay. I looked over at Taylor who shrugged.

"I've seen it. Its cool. I dont mind"

"Cool. Mean Girls it is" I went over to the DVD player and inserted the movie. I walked back to my place on the couch and pressed play.

About 15 minutes to the movie the doorbell rang.

"Oh that must be the pizza. I'm starving!" I got up and hurried to the door. Once I opened it I was greeted with those crystal blue eyes that make my heart flutter.

"Oh, hi Troy, hey guys" I smiled. Chad, Zeke and Jason stood behind Troy who had a bag in his hand.

"Were you expecting someone else?" he asked, stepping in the house with the guys behind him.

"Oh no. We were just waiting for the pizza" I said eyeing the bag in his hand.

"Well, this must be yours then" he handed me the bag with a smile. "The pizza guy was outside so we took it. Its already been paid for"

"Troy you shouldnt have" I said walking into the living room.

"I wanted to, its no big deal."

"Thanks. I'm just glad you guys havn't ate it all up" I teased.

"Oh I made sure that that didnt happen" he said eyeing Chad. Chad raised his hands in defense.

"Hey hey. The smell was overwhelming. What can I say? I'm a hungry man"

"Chad, when were you ever not hungry" said Taylor. I giggled and opened up the boxes before placing them on the coffee table.

"What are you girls watching?" asked Zeke, who took a seat next to Sharpay.

"Mean Girls" replied Kelsi who sat on the floor with Jason. Chad took my seat next to Taylor so I sat on the empty couch and Troy sat next to me.

"Where's Ryan?" asked Kelsi.

"Oh, he said he had a date tonight" said Troy.

"Oh right. His big date with that girl, Dawn. She seems like a nice girl." said Sharpay.

"Dawn? The blonde from the Drama club?" I asked. I met her last week. She really seemed like a sweet girl. Sharpay nodded her head and we continued watching the movie.
