Hey everyone, thank you for all the reviews I got on the last chapter, really appreciate it. I was going to update sooner, but I was having a really hard time trying to get this right, I'm still not sure if this is right yet, but I hope it is. I don't own anything HSM related except the plot.
Surprise
Albuquerque
Troy and Vanessa walked into her house and headed for the living room.
"So, do you wanna watch a movie?" Vanessa asked Troy.
"Yeah, that sounds good." Troy answered.
"Great, how about you get a movie in, and I'll go get some popcorn." Vanessa said as she started to walk to the kitchen.
Vanessa silently made her way into the kitchen, thinking to herself when she would let Troy know what was really going on, what has been going on for about a week now, that she really wasn't who he thought she was.
She started feeling terrible again, how could she masquerade as her sister, as Troy's girlfriend. This really wasn't how she wanted to start off a relationship with her long lost twin. She had to tell Troy the truth, for once.
"Gabriella?" Troy called out as he walked into the kitchen, "You okay? You've been in here for a while."
"Yeah, I'm fine." Vanessa said, "Listen, Troy, can we talk for a minute?"
"Ummm, I guess?" Troy said with a confused expression.
Vanessa starred at Troy, deep into his eyes, she couldn't do this, not yet, she wasn't ready.
"Actually, let's just watch the movie first." Vanessa said as she walked back into the living room.
Vanessa began thinking about how she was going to tell Troy, she decided that she would tell him as soon as the movie ended. She needed a little bit more time with him before she confessed.
Troy walked in a few minutes later with a bowl of popcorn.
"Hey, you forget about the popcorn?" Troy said as he flashed her a smile.
"Oh, yeah, sorry about that." Vanessa said.
"No problem." Troy said as he took his seat next to who he thought was his girlfriend.
The movie began to play, it was "50 First Dates." Troy put an arm around her, and she instinctively leaned in and rested her head on his chest.
The movie went on for about an hour, but Vanessa really wasn't watching the movie, and she and Troy weren't really talking much. Troy noticed this and tried to figure out what was going on.
"Hey, are you sure you're okay?" he asked as he looked down at her.
"Yeah, I'm fine, just thinking about stuff." she said as she turned her head back to the movie.
"What kind of stuff Gabi?" he asked her, getting more concerned by the second. "The thing you wanted to tell me in the kitchen?"
Vanessa was getting nervous, she knew where this was leading to.
"Yeah Troy, actually that's exactly what I was thinking about." she said as she took the remote control and turned the movie off.
"This doesn't sound too good." Troy said softly.
"I don't really know what it is." Vanessa replied.
"Look, Troy, the truth is, I'm not who you think I am." she said as she looked at anything but Troy.
"What are you talking about?" Troy said as he lifted up Vanessa's chin so that she was looking up at him. "Your Gabriella Montez, you're on the Academic Decathlon Team, you were in the winter musical with me, and most importantly, you're the girl I love."
Troy leaned in for a kiss, Vanessa began to lean in as well, but pulled away at the last moment.
"I can't do this anymore." Vanessa said as she stood up from the couch.
Troy sat there, more confused than ever, he slowly stood up and walked to Vanessa.
"Gabi, what's really going on here?" he asked as she still starred into nothingness, trying to decide how she was going to tell Troy everything.
She didn't say anything, she just looked down at the ground.
Troy walked around her quietly, now standing in front of her, he said, "C'mon Gabi, you know you can tell me anything, you know me better than anyone else, and I know you better than anyone else."
"That's the problem Troy, I'm not Gabriella." Vanessa said as she looked up at Troy.
Troy gave her a strange look, but before he could respond, Vanessa said, "I'm her twin sister, Vanessa, we met a little while ago, and she's with my dad right now in San Diego, while I stay here to get to know mom."
Troy didn't know what to say, he really didn't even believe her, let alone know how to respond to such a strange story.
"Ummm, Gabi, have you been drinking by any chance?" Troy said, not really knowing what else to say.
Vanessa didn't respond, she just ran upstairs into Gabriella's room.
Troy was left standing there, still not really knowing what was going on. He decided to follow her upstairs and try to get to the bottom of things.
"Gabi?" he asked as he slowly walked into her room. He noticed her standing out on her balcony and walked towards the door. She still didn't look at him, and Troy just stood there in her room, wondering what to do.
Troy had an idea, he walked over to her, so that he was standing right behind her. She still didn't dare look at him, but then he started to sing.
"This could be the start, of something new,
It feels so right to be here with you oooh
And now looking in your eyes
I feel in my heart
The start of something
New." (Imagine the balcony scene from the movie)
Vanessa just stood there in awe, she had never heard him sing before.
At the same time, downstairs, the front door opened, and someone else walked into the house and began walking upstairs towards Troy and Vanessa.
Troy walked over to the speechless Vanessa, and without another word, leaned in to kiss her. She didn't pull away this time, she couldn't pull away this time, she didn't know what to do, but she ended up deepening the kiss.
They stood there, kissing each other passionately on the balcony, under the stars, when suddenly, someone spoke, but it wasn't Troy or Vanessa.
"Troy?" asked Gabriella, who made it home just in time to find her boyfriend kissing her twin sister.
Gabriella thought that she couldn't possibly cry anymore, not from what had happened to her back in San Diego, but to her surprise, tears began to flow uncontrollably from her eyes. She stormed out of the room, leaving an embarrassed Vanessa, and shocked Troy, to say the least.
Well, there it is everyone, Gabriella is back, but not really what she wanted to see, especially after what happened to her before. What exactly happened to her? Keep reading to find out, and PLEASE leave me reviews, I want to know what you guys think, cause I really think it isn't as good as it could be.
