A KINGDOM HEARTS SCHOOL MUSICAL
—Breaking Free of the Status Quo—

Ryan hyperventilated the words that had been posted on the bulletin board, "Callback for roles 'Arnold and Minnie' next Thursday at 3:30PM: Ryan and Sharpay Evans. Gabriella Montez and Troy Bolton."

"Is it some kind of jokes?" Sharpay screamed, "They didn't even audition!"

"Maybe we're been punk'd." Ryan said, "Maybe we're been filmed right now. Maybe we get to meet Ashton!"

"AH, SHUT UP, RYAN!!!" Sharpay bellowed.

Everyone gathered to see the bulletin board. There was a horrific look on Chad's face at the sight of Troy's name on the callback, "What?"

Lunch time at East High and the buzz about Troy Bolton auditioning for the school's musical has infected the entire campus. The only gang who weren't on the exact same page as everyone else was Sora, Donald and Goofy. The trio walked down the cafeteria and watched everyone pointing accusing fingers toward them.

"What's going on?" Sora asked nervously.

"I dunno. But I can tell you that nobody should ever point the finger at Donald Duck!" Donald angrily approached one of the students, a boy with spiky-dark hair, "What are you pointing at?" he daringly said.

"You did this." The boy replied with a warning tone.

"Did what? What did Donald do?" Goofy asked.

"You broke the status quo." A second student, another boy, a blond-haired one, declared.

Sora cocked his head on one side, "Status quo?"

"You break the status quo, you change the ways of East High." the blond boy said.

"Wait a minute! Who cares about them? They didn't break the status quo. Troy Bolton did. So is that new girl he was hanging out with; and they helped them. That girl must be his girlfriend." The spiky-dark hair boy said.

Everyone in the group gasped, "The new girl is Troy Bolton's girlfriend?" another student, a girl with short brown hair, exclaimed. "That's impossible!"

"Impossible? Why do you think he broke the status quo for? To make it possible, that's why!" another student, a boy with huge glasses and short black hair replied.

The buzzing kept on going. The group quickly forgotten Sora and company and so the trio continued to walk down the crazy cafeteria. The trio witness group of students, like the Wildcats teammates and cheerleaders, the brainiacs, and skater dudes.

"If Troy can tell his secret, then I can tell mine." Zeke, one of the Wildcats teammates, took a deep breath before declaring, "I bake." Everyone in the group began to freak out. The brainiacs' group had another confessing character. "Hip-Hop is my passion." Martha Cox, one of the brainiacs declared, "I like to pop and lock and jam and break." Everyone in the group turned horrified. One of the skater dudes among the skater dudes also came clean, "I play the cello!" he said and everyone in the group thought they were dreaming a horrible dream.

The entire cafeteria blurted into song.

No, No, No
Stick to the stuff you know,
If you wanna be cool,
Follow one simple rule,
Don't mess with the flow, no ,no,
Stick to the Status Quo! Oh, Oh!
No, No, No
Stick to the stuff you know,
It's better by far,
To keep things as they are,
Don't mess with the flow, no ,no,
Stick to the Status Quo.

Donald spotted Gabriella entering the crazy cafeteria with her friend Taylor McKessie. Gabriella looked evermore nervous at every eye staring at her.

"There's Gabriella." Donald started to run up to her, but clumsily, he bumped on a student who was carrying a carton of milk. The student let go off his milk, which spilled on the floor. Gabriella slipped on the spill and let go of her chili fries lunch which flew right onto Sharpay's blouse.

There was silence. Awkward and disturbing.

"Uh…oh…" Sora muttered.

Sharpay let out a piercing scream. The panicky Gabriella desperately tried to clean up the mess but made it even worse. "I am so sorry." She said.

Troy entered the scene and watched the fiasco happening. Chad caught him, "You do not want to get into that, man. Too much drama."

"What's up?" Troy asked.

"What's up? Oh, let's see. You missed free-period workout yesterday to audition for some heinous musical, and now suddenly people are confessing!" Chad sounded overly upset.

"What's wrong with people confessing?" Sora entered in the conversation, "confessing is good."

"Good? GOOD?! How about psychotic?" Chad bellowed. He saw Zeke walking with a delicious dessert dish and pulled him in, "Like Zeke here! He's baking! BAKING!!"

"Gwarsh, is that crème brulée?" Goofy noticed the dessert.

"What's that?" Troy asked.

"It's a creamy, custard-like filling with a caramelized surface. It's very satisfying." Zeke declared with no shame.

"Can I try some?" Goofy asked.

"Sure." Zeke said.

"Hey! I want some too, you know?" Donald said.

"Can I get the recipe, if you don't mind?" Sora asked.

Chad turned red, "CAN WE NOT DO THIS NOW?"

"Maybe we should leave you alone." Sora took off with Donald and Goofy and Zeke went to another direction, leaving only Troy and Chad.

"Chad, buddy." Troy began, "I know you're really upset here, but—"

"Do you see what's happening here, man?" Chad interrupted, "Our team is falling apart because of your singing thing. Even the drama geeks and brainiacs suddenly think they can…" he shuddered at the next phrase, "…talk to us. The skater dudes are mingling. People think they can suddenly do other stuff! Okay, stuff that's not their stuff!" He pointed accusingly at the table of the Drama Club, "They've got you thinking about show tunes, when we've got a playoff game next week."

A livid Sharpay stormed inside the auditorium, still trying to clean up her chili-stained blouse. Her brother followed her slowly. He could see that she was mad and didn't have the audacity to speak to or console her. Sharpay, when she's mad, she's really mad. She's a raged bull. She stepped into the stage.

"Err… Sharpay?" Ryan gulped, "Dear sister… maybe we should…"

"DEMYX! LARXENE!" Sharpay yelled, "YOU BETTER BRING YOUR HEADS IN HERE RIGHT NOW!!!"

The two dark portals remerged and Demyx and Larxene reappeared once more before the twins.

"You called, O Glorious Drama Queen?" Demyx smiled. Ryan and Larxene giggled. Sharpay eyed Ryan who quickly stopped. Sharpay approached Demyx and flicked him on the nose.

"Ow! Why did you do that for? Is it because of the joke?" Demyx rubbed his sore nose.

"You were supposed to make sure that nobody—and I mean nobody—was to audition and to get that part except us!"

"Oh, you meant nobody. Okay." Larxene snapped her finger and a Nobody Dusk surfaced from the ground. Sharpay looked disgusted at the Nobody's sight. "What's that creep?" she pointed at the Dusk.

"That's a Nobody." Demyx said, "Just like you ordered."

"That's not a Nobody. That's a somebody, and rather skinny at that."

"Girl, it's a Nobody." Larxene corrected.

"And I say it's not!" Sharpay angrily approached the duo. The cowed duo receded, even the Nobody, "When I mean nobody, I mean nobody. And when I mean somebody, I mean somebody. Don't take me for a stupid lady, Organization XIII, because I'm a celebrity and I've been doing shows with my brother for years. So, when I tell you to do something, I want you to do something. Because if you don't, I'll fire you so quick, you'll be seeing stars! Do we understand each other or do I have to repeat it twice for your pea brains to get it?"

Demyx gulped, "we get it, ma'am."

Larxene bumped Demyx on the shoulder. Demyx quickly caught himself, "I mean, Lady Sharpay."

Larxene simply smiled and nodded.

"Good." Sharpay said, "Now if you'll excuse me," she began to choke up as she looked down on her stained top, "I have a blouse emergency." She left the auditorium with her brother.

Larxene eyed Demyx with horror, "Lady Sharpay?" she began, "What spell did she inflict on you?"

"I'm sorry, but she was scaring me!" Demyx wanted to cry, "Wasn't she scary? Didn't she scare you?"

"Oh yeah. I had to hide under my blankey." Larxene said sarcastically, "Look, you know we don't have time for them, right? We got bigger fishes to fry. Bigger hearts to capture."

"And bigger power to get." The voice of Marluxia sounded from behind Larxene and Demyx. The duo turned around to see him. He was carrying his scythe and had his hood on, but his face was still shown.

"So, when can we do this?" Demyx asked, "According to my calculations, the world should, by orbit, face Kingdom Hearts at full between mid-afternoons and evening."

"Kingdom Hearts should be ready for absorption by 3:30 PM, Friday." Marluxia said, "High School Musical. We'll have your heart in no time."

On cue, the trio laughed.

Days have gone by since the truth about Troy and Gabriella's audition was exposed. In both group, there was still no agreement about the duo's dreams of performing onstage. They still believe it will affect the status quo and their big events—the scholastic decathlon and the basketball championship—that were to happen the week of the callback audition.

Sora, Donald and Goofy resided on their Gummi ship that had crashed at the park behind the school. Actually, they were currently fixing it to make it work.

"I wonder if Troy and Gabriella's people have made an agreement on keeping their secrets safe." Goofy wondered.

"What are you talking about, Goofy. Their secrets are out in the open." Sora said, "I only hope that they are there to support these two."

"I'm with you." Donald applied as he took a bite out of his toasted tuna sandwich. He looked up and to his surprise, he watched Gabriella walking out of the school in tears.

"Hey, isn't that Gaby?" Donald said.

Sora and Goofy turned to Donald's direction.

"Something's wrong." Goofy said.

Sora, Donald, and Goofy walked back inside the school. They searched frantically for Troy. They finally found him alone in the basketball court, looking disheartened.

"Oh, something's definitely wrong." Sora said.
