A/N: I'm sorry to say that this story is coming to an end. Wait, is that a bad thing, or a good thing?

The next update will be on Friday, March 30.


Chapter 14 Four More Hours

Ryan looked at himself in the mirror one last time.

This is it. One last performance and bye bye America for two months.

Ready?

I hope so...


"Troy, you're paying for gas." Sharpay said as she hopped into the passenger seat. Troy took the driver's seat and Gabriella sat in the middle of the back.

"Yeah whatever...why do I have to drive? I will not be seen driving a pink car." Troy said.

Sharpay shoved him, "Your idea, you're driving."

"Ugh, fine," he said and started the car. They backed out of the driveway. "The things I do for you."

Gabriella looked out the window.


"Ryan, sound check."

Ryan looked at his door. Sydney was there. Doesn't she ever leave me alone?

"I'll be there."

Go away, Sydney.

"Ryan, now."

Just two minutes. Leave me alone for two minutes.

"OK, Sydney."

He grabbed his jacket and followed Sydney out the door.


"Troy, switch lanes." Sharpay said.

"I know what I'm doing." Troy said.

Gabriella sighed. They had been arguing the whole time.

"Troy, don't you see that truck? Wide right turns?"

"Sharpay, don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

"Troy! He was about to turn!"

"Stop yelling at me!"

"Not until you stop yelling at me!"

"Make me!"

"Make me!"

Gabriella groaned. This was going to be the longest 5 hours of her life.


"Ryan, shouldn't you be practicing?"

Ryan groaned. He had been practicing for the last few hours.

"Sydney, I need a break. Get me some water, or something."

"Ryan, I am not your 'personal assistant'."

"Well you sure are acting like one."

Ryan got up and headed backstage. He was going to take a nap.

A long nap.


"Troy! Get some gas!"

"Sharpay, it's half full. We'll make it."

"What are you talking about? It's half empty and we'll never make it!"

Gabriella sighed really loud. They didn't notice.

"Sharpay, must you always look on the bad side of things?"

"Troy, we aren't gonna make it unless you fill up right now."

Gabriella sighed louder. Still didn't notice.

"We only have 4 hours left. Calm down, Shar."

"NO ONE CALLS ME SHAR EXCEPT RYAN!!!"

They immediately calmed down. Gabriella sighed. Finally.

Sharpay broke the silence, "Let me drive."

"Psh, in a million years."

"Troy, I'm just saying-"

"Sharpay, I'm just saying-"

"No I'm saying-"

"I'm saying-"

Gabriella groaned really loud again. Four more hours. Just four more hours.
