End Recap

It was around Noon when the girls woke up. Everyone was in kitchenette eating cereal. Sharpay quickly picked up that Nikki wasn't at the table. "Where is Nikki?" she asked the girls. Each one of them looking at each other shrugging. Sharpay got up and went to Nikki's room. She was about to knock on the door when she noticed a piece of paper taped to the door, it was from Nikki. After scanning over the note she went back to the girls. "There was a note on the door it reads…"

Dear Chicas,

Had soccer practice this morning, be back by 1:30.

Nikki

PS. I have dinner tonite with the brother and co-workers. Jason is going with me. Need help with outfit.

"Aww that's cute she and Jason hit it off." Gabi smiled with a nod from Kelsi in agreement.

"Well come on hurry up with breakfast we need to go over the guys dorm room." Sharpay said.

"Why?" Taylor asked.

"Because if he's into her like I think he is, then he's going to be stressed out. We'll be back before Nikki gets back from soccer practice." She smiled as the girls nodded their heads.

After putting away the dishes in the dish washer the 4 girls head out to the boys dorm which was on the floor below theirs. It took just one knock for the door to swing open by reveling a frustrated Troy Bolton. "Thank god you girls are here Jason is driving us all nuts. He's throwing clothes everywhere asking us what he should wear tonight. What is going on tonight?" he asked.

"Wildcat first off take a breath and calm down." Gabi said giggling a little as Troy did what he was told. "Good. Now, Jason is going to dinner with Nikki, her brother, and her brothers co-workers." Started to explain as the other girls went in to find Jason.

"Ahh I see" Troy said wrapping his arms around her waist. "So does that mean you and I can have a date tonight?" He whispered in her ear.

"I think I can manage that." She giggled kissing him. "What did you have in mind?"

"Oh you'll just have to wait and see." The two of them headed over to where the rest of the gang was, which was right in Jason's doorway.

"How long as this been goin on?" Taylor asked Chad as she surveyed Jason room. Troy had not been kidding when he said Jason was throwing clothes every where. There were clothes on his bed, floor, desk, and was that a pair of boxer shorts on one of the blades on the ceiling fan?

"Since he woke up, which…was about an half hour ago." Chad said looking at his watch.

"JASON CROSS!" Sharpay screamed, causing everyone to jump and Jason to drop what was in his hand. "You need to calm down." She told him walking into the room picking up 2 pieces of clothing on the way to him. "Now you can wear this." She handed him a pair of jeans along with a red and white striped button down shirt.

"Uh thank you." Jason replied taking the clothes out of her hands. "Nikki's not here is she?" he asked.

"No she's at soccer practice." Kelsi piped up. "Speaking off which we should get back before she gets back to the dorm."

"Yeah that is true. Don't worry Jason we won't tell her you were freaking out." Taylor said as she and the rest of the girls said good-bye to their boyfriends and left. Ten minutes after getting home Nikki walked in dropping her duffle bag on the floor and falling onto the couch.

"Gahh this was worse than Championship training." She groaned burying her face into her pillow not really talking to anyone.

"Good you're here." Taylor said coming into the room with Gabi.

"What? Why?" Nikki asked sitting up looking at them.

"Because of your date with Jason." Sharpay squealed.

"Umm it's not a date, it's just two friends keeping each other company." Nikki proclaimed being dragged by the two of them.

"You going together right? So it's a date." Taylor stated.

"Now is it formal, semi-form, or casual?" Gabi asked.

"Uh I was planning on wearing a simple dress. Or jeans and a cute top." She told them sitting on her bed. While Gabi and Taylor went through her closet. "This is going to be a long day." She sighed falling back.

It was around 630 p.m when Jason knocked on the girls dorm room. Kelsi answered the door and without a word ushered him inside. "She'll be out in one minute." She told him walking into Nikki's room.

"He's here." She told the others. "wow you look great Nikki."

"Really?" Nikki asked looking at herself in the mirror.

"Yes!" The girls all said in unison.

"Alright here I go." She grabbed her purse and headed out her bedroom. Once she was out the 4 girls smiled at each other and rushed to the door to watch and listen.

While Jason waited for Nikki he looked around the girls dorm. Something he hadn't noticed before was the girls had hung up pictures on the wall. He recognized most of them because he was in them. But one he didn't recognize was a picture of Nikki in her cap and gown surrounded by eight adults. All had smiles on their faces and one guy had his arms around Nikki, Jason realized that that was the same guy from the subway her brother. The others must be his co-works because a couple of them brandished a gun and a badge. The next picture he noticed was a young girl on the shoulders of a teenage boy in the park, both with matching blue eyes. "Don's always been there for me, I remember that day. I fell of the swings and to cheer me up he put me on his shoulders and spun me around." She said coming up behind him.

He quickly turned around. "He must be really protective of you." He commented with a smile before taking in her look. She was wearing a pair of dark blue skinny jeans, silver flats, and a ocean blue sleeveless top. Her hair was curled and the sides pined back. She had little makeup on but the top brought out her blue eyes. "Wow you look b-b-beautifult." He stammered.

She blushed and giggled a little. "Thank you, you don't look so bad yourself."

He offered her his hand. "So shall we?"

"We shall." She nodded her head taking his hand and they left.

After the door shut behind Nikki and Jason the four eavesdroppers pilled out into the living room. "Aww that was so cute." Gabi gushed.

"I know they are so cute together." Sharpay added.

"So let me guess Gabi and Troy are going to their own thing while the rest of us have a movie night." Taylor said causing the girls to nod their heads.
