"Shar, you look awesome!" Kelsi gushed, fluffing out her friend's strapless soft pink tulle dress. Sharpay smiled as she adjusted the diamond tiara she wore in her hair. Her blonde locks were twisted into a tight knot, with the ends loose and softly curled.

"Thanks, you too," Sharpay replied. Kelsi was wearing a short, strapless, satin, red bubble dress with a diamond in the middle of the bust. Her medium length auburn hair was curled to perfection and was held out of her face with two rhinestone clips.

"What about me?" Taylor asked, spinning around. She was wearing a floor-length form fitting lavender dress with spaghetti straps. Her hair was in low side ponytail held with a rhinestone purple hair ribbon.

"Amazing!" Sharpay exclaimed. She looked around her room with a confused look on her face, looking for her best friend, Gabriella.

"Gabi?" she asked, looking around the pink room.

"Where are you?" Taylor asked, walking over to the adjoining bathroom door and knocking softly.

"Gabs, are you in there?" Taylor asked against the door.

"I...This dress doesn't look the same as when I bought it," came Gabriella's muffled reply. Sharpay walked over and knocked on the door hard in a demanding manner.

"Gabriella Montez, open this door right now!" the blond demanded. The door slowly opened revealing a very nervous looking Gabriella in a strapless cream colored knee-length dress with a thick black ribbon under the bust tying in the back. She had black shimmering stilettos on her french pedicured feet. Around her neck she wore a diamond 'G' necklace, a special gift from her grandmother Ebony just before she died. Her hair was pulled back into the classic half up half down style, a couple of her curls hanging down and framing her heart-shaped face.

"Oh..."

"...my..."

...God!"

"Oh, I knew it! I'm just going to change and..." Gabriella said, turning around and heading for the bathroom door. Sharpay was quick to grab her wrist before she could go.

"No, Gabi," she said. Gabriella furrowed her brows in confusion.

"Huh?"

"You look..." Kelsi said, trying to find the right words to say.

"You look drop dead gorgeous! Troy is going to FLIP OUT when he sees you!" Taylor exclaimed. A soft knock was heard at the door and Sheila Evans poked her head in.

"Girls, your dates are here," she said, walking into the room. She smiled as she walked over to Sharpay and clasped her hands together in admiration.

"You look beautiful, muffin," she said, fingering her loose hanging curls. Sharpay slapped her hand away.

"Don't touch my hair, you'll mess it up," she pouted. Another knock was heard at the door.

"Sheila? Are they all ready?" a voice known to be Dania McKessie's.

"Yes, Dania, you guys can come in," three more women strode into the room. As the girls had been getting ready, Sheila had invited the girls' mothers over for coffee and snacks.

"You look beautiful, cariño," Maria Montez said, stroking her daughter's hair lightly.

"Gracias, mama," Gabriella replied, smiling.

"Jesus, who knew my daughter had a body!" Jenna Neilson joked, gently nudging her daughter in the arm, but then turned serious. "I want no funny business with Jason, tonight. Got it?" Kelsi blushed and looked away.

"MOM!" she exclaimed.

"That goes for you, too, my peach. I expect you to stay fully clothed throughout the night," Sheila said, waving a finger at Sharpay. Sharpay rolled her eyes and readjusted the tiara on her head.

"Sorry for interrupting, ladies, but there are four very impatient and hormonal boys downstairs, and I'd appreciate if you'd leave with them so they don't sweat all over my new tile," Vance Evans said from outside the door. Sharpay sqealed.

"Thanks Daddy!" she turned to the girls, "okay. This is it. Our junior prom. Mothers. You all can go downstairs now so I can make my..." Taylor cleared her throat, "so we can make our grand entrances." The mothers nodded and left the room. "Okay. I've decided that I'll go down first, then Kelsi, Taylor, and last will be Gabi." Sharpay said, walking out into the hallway. The four girls could hear the anxious chatter of their dates from downstairs.

"Okay, first of all is-Chad, would you stop fussing about your hair? It looks the same as it always does- my beautiful, stunning, drop dead gorgeous, pulchritudinous, raidant-"

"GET ON WITH IT!" someone yelled.

"-daughter, Sharpay!" Sharpay plastered on her million watt smile and made her slow but dramatic decent down the stairs. Once she got to the bottom and made her way to Zeke, she flipped her hair over her shoulder and batted her eyelashes.

"Now, I'd like to present the wonderful, Taylor McKessie!" Taylor giggled as she made her way down the staircase to her boyfriend, Chad, who wasn't even looking at her at the moment; being to preoccupied with his hair. Taylor snapped her fingers to get his attention.

"Heeey, I'm gonna get on that tongiht," he said, eyeing his girlfriend up and down. An awkward silence fell across the room.

"Ahem, okay, well, now, is Kelsi!" Kelsi took a deep breath and walked down the stairs, over to her boyfriend, Jason, who seemed to be drooling do much that he'd create a puddle on the floor.

"Close you mouth now, Cross, because I am not cleaning that up," Sheila commented. Jason hastily closed his mouth and he and Kelsi spontaneously started making out.

"And last, but certainly not least, Gabi Montez!" Gabriella smiled to herself and began her slow decent down the elegant marble staircase, holding her head high in confidence. The look on Troy's face was priceless. His jaw had dropped so low that you could fit Chad's head in it (along with the hair) and his eyes looked like they'd pop out of their sockets and fall onto the floor any second. Once she reached the bottom, she made her way over to Troy, who looked like he was about to pass out.

"Hm, you clean up nice, Bolton," she commented, straightening his tie.

"Gabi...you look...uh...really...wow," Troy said, struggling to find the right words.

"Thanks," Gabriella said, smiling. Troy finally composed himself and whipped out a red rose rom behind his back.

"Um, it's for you," he said, leaning down and kissing her cheek softly. Gabriella giggled and accepted the flower.

"Thanks, it's beautiful,"she said sincerely, "I'll but it in a vase."

"Pictures!" Sheila exclaimed after Gabriella returned from putting her rose in water. The group followed Sheila and Vance outside to the backyard where an elaborate backdrop was hung, along with professional photography equipment.

"Wow, Shar, what's with all of this?" Taylor asked, motioning to the cameras. Sharpay scoffed.

"You don't expect me to have ordinary photography, do you?" she asked, once again, fiddling with her tiara. Taylor held her hands up in defense.

"Cupcake, you and Zeke can go first," Vance said. Sharpay squealed with over-enthusiasm and led Zeke over to the backdrop. Zeke tentatively wrapped his arms around her waist as she leaned into him, with a over exagerated grin on her face.

"Sharpie, vork it for ze camera," the photographer, Bebe said in a heavy French accent. (A/N: I don't know if French people actually talk like that, but use your imagination, people!) Sharpay continued changing her expression, as Zeke just stayed in the same position as his girlfriend hammed it up for the camera. After about fifty frames of the couple, Maria, Jenna, and Dania insisted on their daughters getting a turn.

"Okay, okay, fine1 We're done," Sharpay huffed, moving out of the way as Chad and Taylor took their places.

"Hey, look at this vittle sveethawt," Bebe said from behind the camera, referring to Taylor, as he eyed her up and down and licked his lips.

"Hey. Don't even think about looking at my woman like that," Chad said pointedly, shooting Bebe a glare.

"Sorry, meester big hair," Bebe said, beginning to snap pictures of the couple. After the grueling task of taking pictures of all of the couples, the group piled into the limo.

"So y'all are coming to the after-party at my house, right?" Sharpay asked.

"I am," Chad said, fluffing out his hair with his fingers, causing some pieces of hair to fall out on Taylor.

"Chad! Stop fluffing your hair! By the time we even get to the hotel your going to be bald!" she said, brushing off her silk dress. Chad rolled his eyes and continued fluffing his hair, but with much less force.

"So, you excited?" Troy asked Gabriella nervously, stuffing his hands into his pockets. Gabriella nodded slightly, her curls bouncing as she did so.

"Yeah, who do you think will be prom king and queen?" she asked, turning her body to face him. He shrugged.

"I don't know, but I think you have a pretty good chance of prom queen," he said admiringly. She blushed and looked at her hands that rested softly in her lap.

"I don't know, it'll probably someone like Melissa Vaudvil," she said, referring to a slutty cheerleader.

"Oh, come on. Why wouldn't it be you? You're smart, funny, and really beautiful!" Troy said, causing Gabriella to blush even harder than she already was. Troy scratched the back of his neck in embarrassment about what he'd just said.

"Um, thanks," she mumbled.

"We're here!" Sharpay squealed as the limo pulled to a stop. Outside was an elaborate looking hotel, with tall white pillars and huge windows. A huge banner hung on the overhang, reading 'East High Junior Prom, 2008!' The group stepped out of the car, excited for what the night might bring.

I'm really sorry if that was bad. Really.

And I'm also really sorry that I haven't been updating; school just started and I really want to get on track with that before I start the hardcore writing (lol).
