"Great seeing you guys." Nate said, grabbing his stuff.

Lucille smiled as she hugged her nephew, "You guys have to come back." She didn't notice the glare Troy was sending her.

"Bye Troy." Andrea said, hugging Troy. "I miss you."

Troy frowned, "I'm going to miss you even more Andy. Call me."

Andy nodded, "Ok." She waved her hand and walked out with her siblings.

Troy closed the door, "Ugh. I need a nap."

Marcus nodded, "Yeah. Nate following me around was exhausting."

"Nate and Bridgette talking in general is exhausting." Troy corrected. "Especially Bridgette."

"Just because she said you have a crush on Gabriella, doesn't mean you have to be mean." Lucille scolded.

"And you should have a crush on Montez." Marcus added. "She's hot. If you don't want her, I'll take her. And trust me, I will take her."

Troy sighed, "If I wanted someone to pick my brain and tell me things about myself, I would go to a therapist."

"I bet you would." Marcus teased. "Gabriella wants to be a therapist."

"Shut up."

Marcus shook his head, "I don't think I want to. Its fun when you get pissed off."

~At Gabriella's House~

"You went to go meet his family yesterday?" Lola repeated.

Gabriella nodded, "Yeah."

"That's sounds a little couple-ish don't you think?" Lola questioned.

Gabriella shook her head and laughed, "No. He needed someone to keep him company because his family is...eccentric."

"Still sounds like something a girlfriend would do for her boyfriend." Lola teased.

"We aren't boyfriend and girlfriend." Gabriella argued. "He's my best friend."

Lola smiled, "If you say so."

"I do say so."

"No need to for defensiveness." Lola joked.

"I'm not being defensive."

"Yes you are. Why?"

Gabriella shrugged, "I don't know."

The room was silent until Lola gasped, "Unless..." Gabriella cut her off.

"Unless nothing. Conversation closed." Gabriella snapped.

"Well then, Ms. Defensive."

"I am not being defensive. You're being annoying."

Lola shook her head, "I just think you're being defensive because there's a lot more going on that you're not telling me." She winked and walked out of the family room.

Gabriella sighed. What was Lola talking about? Nothing was going on, right?

~The Next Afternoon~

"Hey." Troy greeted. Gabriella sat her bag down on his dresser as she walked into his room.

Gabriella turned around, "Hey." She gave him a hug. "What's up?"

"I just wanted to thank you for coming over on Saturday." Troy said.

Gabriella smiled, "No problem. I like your family."

"Good to know. They like you too." Troy told her. "Really like you. It's a tie between Andy and Nate."

Gabriella laughed, "Of course. Nate is such a flirt. Just like you.

"I'm not a flirt." Troy said.

"You're almost a bigger flirt than me and I'm like, a huge flirt."

Troy laughed, "You're a super flirt."

Gabriella shrugged, "Yeah I am. That's why you and I are a match made in heaven."

"Yeah." Troy said, nervously.

"You ok?" Gabriella asked.

Troy nodded, "Fine. I guess it was a long weekend and I'm tired."

Gabriella stood up, "Well I can leave and you can go to sleep."

"Nope. You can stay. I dont really mind. I can always go to sleep later."

"Ok." Gabriella said. "What do you want to do? I have to go home in an hour to start my homework, though."

"That's cool. Let's play truth."

"What's truth?"

Troy shrugged, "It's like truth or dare, only without the dare."

"Sounds...interesting."

Troy smiled, "Let's play."

"Ok. You can go first."

"What's the most embarrassing thing that's happened to you?" Troy asked.

Gabriella sighed, "I was in 4th grade and I called my teacher mommy and my teacher was a dude."

Troy burst into laughter, "You're such a fucking dork."

"Oh shut up." Gabriella said. "Have you ever broken a law before?"

"Underage drinking." Troy answered. "And I think in some states you can be arrested for having sex at a young age."

Gabriella's jaw dropped, "Are you serious?" Troy nodded. "I didn't know that."

"Have you ever been arrested?" Troy asked.

Gabriella shook her head, "No. I'd be all over Page Six if I was. Have you ever gotten arrested?"

Troy snorted, "Hell no. What happens to you when you get drunk?"

Gabriella laughed, "I become bisexual when I drink too much."

"Really?"

"Yes." Gabriella replied. "I will make out with anyone and everyone."

"If you told that to Marcus, he would marry you in a heartbeat."

Gabriella smiled, "Well that's...flattering I guess."

The room was silent for a minute. Troy looked over at Gabriella who was on her Blackberry. He took a deep breath and turned to her. "I have one more thing to ask you. And I really want you to be honest."

"Ask away."

"If I asked you to go on a date with me, would you say yes?" Troy asked.

"Excuse me?" Gabriella said.

"I'm serious. Would you go out with me?"

"Are you fucking with me?" Gabriella questioned.

Troy shook his head, "No."

"Yes." Gabriella spoke, quietly.

"Did you say something?"

"Yes I will go out with you."

After a few minutes Troy laughed, "Are we really going on a date?"

Gabriella laughed too, "I guess we are."
