Hey everyone, I wasn't too busy so I decided to update. I don't own anything but the plot btw.

Getting Comfortable

Vanessa woke up the next morning at around 8:30 and went downstairs to the kitchen to find her mother eating breakfast.

"Good morning." Anna said warmly.

"Good morning, mom." Vanessa replied in an awkward tone, she had never really called Anna 'mom' before that moment.

"Come over here and eat" Anna said as she motioned Vanessa over to the table to find pancakes, bacon, eggs, hash browns, and pretty much any other breakfast food you could possibly think of.

Vanessa looked at the food, "Oh my gosh mom, you really didn't need to go and cook up all this."

Smiling, Anna replied, "Well, the last time I fed you it was mostly just baby food, I had a feeling you tastes had changed, but I didn't really know to what."

Vanessa sat down and began to eat, "So, what exactly do you think we're going to do today." she said, eager to finally be able to spend time with her mother.

"Well actually, I needed to talk to you about that." Anna answered, as Vanessa looked up at her, "I actually won't be able to spend time with you today, I got a call from the office, and they kind of needed me to come in today."

"Oh." Vanessa replied with obvious disappointment.

"Oh, I'm so sorry hunny, I promise we can do something tomorrow." Anna said trying to make her daughter feel a little better.

Vanessa was trying to hide her disappointment, "Okay, but, what do I do all day then?"

"Maybe you should go meet some of Gabi's friends, did you want me to call them over?" Anna asked.

"Oh no, I'll think of something." Vanessa replied.

"Okay, well, I really need to go, but I'll see you later, bye." With that, Anna walked out the door, got into her car and drove off.

"Great." Vanessa said as she walked back upstairs, not really knowing what to expect from her first day in Albuquerque.

In San Diego with Gabriella.

By the time Gabriella and her father made it back to her house, it was already around lunch time, so they decided that they would go out to eat.

"Where do you want to have lunch Gabi?" Greg asked politely.

"I dunno, I've never actually been here before." Gabriella said quietly.

Greg was trying really hard to get Gabriella to accept him as her father, but she really didn't want to have any part of it.

"Okay, how about we just go to the mall and we can go to the food court, so you can get whatever you want." Greg said as nicely as he could.

Gabriella just sat there and gave him a slight nod. With that, they drove over to downtown San Diego and to the mall. When they got there, Gabriella and her dad both decided on getting Panda Express. They got their food and sat down.

"So, was there anything that you wanted to do in particular while you were down here?" Greg said before taking a bite of his orange chicken.

Gabriella finished chewing before saying, "I really don't know what there is to do down here."

"Oh come on, we're in southern California, it's a major tourist spot, there has to be something that you want to do." Greg said trying to sound convincing.

"Well, I heard that SeaWorld was a fun place." Gabriella said hesitantly.

"That's perfect, I have passes there, let's go." Greg said as they finished up left.

To Gabriella's surprise, she had a great time, but not so much because it was a theme park, but because she began to realize that her dad wasn't that bad. She still wasn't ready to really let her dad into her life, but at least now she was open to give him a chance.

At the end of the day, they drove over to their house and Gabriella, being exhausted, went straight to bed. She still hadn't realized that she still didn't let any of her friends know that she was gone. Quite frankly, she was just too tired to remember.

Back in Albuquerque.

Vanessa was sitting around at home wondering how she was going to spend her day, when suddenly, she heard what sounded like a cell phone ringing. She was surprised because it was not a ring tone that was familiar to her. She searched the room and eventually found Gabriella's cell phone. She decided that she might as well answer it.

"Hello?" She asked hesitantly.

"Oh my gosh where have you been, I've been trying to call you forever. Are you at home?" Said a very excited Taylor.

"Well yes, but I think you should know that…" She was cut off by Taylor.

"Great, cause I'm pulling up to your house right now, get the door, bye." with that, Taylor hung up.

Vanessa just thought to herself, well, the way this person talked, she must be pretty close to her sister. She thought she would have a little fun, and figured, why not.

"Where have you been, seriously, I've been trying to call you since like, last night!" yelled Taylor as she just stormed into the house.

"Ummmm, I've been, busy, I guess." Vanessa replied cautiously, still not exactly knowing who this was, or even what her name was.

"Well, do you wanna know what happened last night with Zeke and Sharpay?" Taylor said as she flopped onto the couch in the living room.

"Uh, sure." Vanessa said unsurely, "I mean, yeah, YEAH OF COURSE!" she said, trying to sound convincing.

"Well, long story short, their officially a couple now." Taylor said triumphantly.

"That's great!" Vanessa replied.

"Yeah, and right now, we're meeting them, and everyone else at the mall, so let's go." Taylor said as she dragged Vanessa, who she still thought was Gabriella, to the car.

During the drive to the mall, they talked a little, and Vanessa found out that her name was Taylor. She decided in her mind that she would tell everyone that she was Gabi's twin sister when they got to the mall, so she could just let all of her sister's friends know at one time. They reached their destination and met up with everyone.

As Vanessa walked in, she said hi and hugged everyone, pretending she knew what was really going on. She was enjoying herself too, that is until she saw Troy. She recognized him as her sister's boyfriend from the picture she saw of them.

"Hey baby." Troy said as he walked up to give her a kiss.

She knew it was wrong, but she couldn't resist, she gave in and gave her sister's boyfriend a quick kiss. She was amazed at how attracted she really was to this guy.

They finally broke apart, and she managed to say, "Hey."

She couldn't help but smile, she knew that she should tell everyone who she really was, and she realized how wrong it was that she kissed her sister's boyfriend, but she just couldn't tell them. Suddenly, her whole plan changed. She didn't know exactly what she was going to do, but for the time being, she was going to be Gabriella, but more importantly to her, Troy Bolton's girlfriend.

o0o, how could Vanessa do that to her sister? hehe, Read and Review please.
