Hey everybody, thanks again for the reviews, that was the most I've had for a single chapter, so I guess it was good. I Don't own anything except the plot.

Memories

Vanessa woke up the next morning to an unfamiliar room. She was in the guest room as opposed to her sister's room, where she had been staying for the past few days now. Her sister, Gabriella, her twin sister who she masqueraded as and deceived all her friends, but even worse, her boyfriend into thinking she was someone else. She didn't want to do anything today, she especially didn't want to confront her sister, but she knew she had to. What could she possibly say to her? How could she justify her actions? She continued to lay there, silently, completely lost in her own thoughts, until she heard her mother call from downstairs.

"Vanessa, could you come down here please." Anna called to her daughter while covering the phone with her hand, "Yes, thanks for calling and letting me know about the whole situation, I'll check to see if she came here, bye." she said before hanging up.

Vanessa walked in slowly, "Yes mom?" she asked obviously a little distracted, to say the least.

"Did Gabriella come by here last night by any chance? Because your father just called and…" Anna began to say, but Vanessa cut her off mid sentence.

"Yeah, she was here."

"Oh, well, where is she?" Anna asked curiously.

Vanessa just shrugged. She thought about telling her mom about what happened, but she wanted to talk to Gabriella first. However, Anna started getting concerned about her daughter's whereabouts.

"What do you mean? She didn't stay here?" asked a concerned Anna.

As if on cue, Gabriella walked in her house and into the kitchen, only to be greeted by her mother throwing her arms around her in a loving embrace.

"Hi mom." Gabriella said with a faint smile, a smile that was quickly erased by the sight of her sister. "I'd ask you how you've been doing here in Albuquerque, but I already know that you had a GREAT time didn't you?"

"GABRIELLA MONTEZ! Don't talk to your sister that way." Anna demanded.

Gabriella just shook her head and ran upstairs to her room. Vanessa just looked down, disappointed with herself. She tried to go upstairs, but was stopped by her mother.

"Vanessa, did something happen between you two?" she asked.

She nodded in reply.

"Well, I'm not going to intrude on your business, but I hope you two work it out." Anna said with a hopeful smile.

"Me to." Vanessa said before running back into the guest room.

Vanessa and Gabriella both stayed in their respective rooms for a few hours. Vanessa heard Gabriella's door open, and ran out of her room hoping to catch Gabriella and apologize to her. When she ran out, however, all she saw was her mother closing the door as she entered her sister's room. Vanessa could hear crying, she was concerned, wanting to know what was happening, she pressed her ear against the door, hoping to catch the conversation.

"Gabi, I'm so sorry that happened to you." Anna said.

Gabriella didn't say anything, she just cried and hugged her mother.

"I was so scared mom, I didn't know what to do." Gabriella managed to get out in between sobs.

"I know, I know hunny, you were lucky that Zac was there when he was."

Gabriella nodded.

"Are you okay?" Anna asked.

"As okay as I could be, all things considered." She said quietly while she debated in her mind whether or not to tell her mom about Vanessa and Troy.

"Well, everything turned out okay, and you came back early." Anna exclaimed with a smile.

Vanessa was trying to figure out what was going on, she hadn't even realized that Gabriella had come home early, she was too preoccupied with what she had done. And did she just hear the name of her friend Zac from back in San Diego?

Gabriella gave a weak smile.

"Did you have fun with dad?" Anna asked.

"Yeah, he's so cool." Gabriella said as she noticed her mother's expression drop. She looked at her mom, she seemed to be deep in thought. "Mom, are you okay?"

She nodded, "Yes, I'll be alright." she said as a smile crept back onto her face.

Gabriella looked at her with concern, "Mom, what ever happened to you and dad?"

Anna looked down, "That's a topic for another time, right now, why don't you go and catch up with your friends? I'm sure their going to be glad you're back." She said as she got up to walk out the door.

Vanessa immediately ran back into her room and began to think to herself. Why was Gabriella back, and what could she do to get her to forgive her?

Gabriella sat alone in her room and decided it might be a good idea to take her mother's advice and see everyone today, everyone except Troy that is. She looked around to find her phone and eventually found it in a drawer. To her surprise, there were about 9 phones in there. She looked at all of them, and recognized them as belonging to her friends. She wondered why they were there, but decided to take them with her and give them back if she saw them.

Vanessa heard Gabriella's door open again and she slowly peered out of her door to see Gabriella running down the stairs.

"Mom, I'm going out for a walk." Gabriella said as she walked out the door.

"Okay, don't be out too long." Anna said in reply.

Vanessa went downstairs and found her mother in the living room.

"Mom, can I ask you something?" Vanessa asked.

"Of course dear." Anna said cheerfully as she motioned Vanessa to sit down next to her. "So, what's going on?"

"Well, I was just wondering why Gabriella came home early." Vanessa asked as she looked up to her mother.

Anna looked at her daughter, "I think that's something you need to talk your sister about."

"Oh, okay." Vanessa said, with obvious disappointment on her face.

"Don't worry dear, she'll tell you soon enough." Anna said as she gave her a kiss on her forehead, "She's fine now anyway, so don't worry."

Anna gave Vanessa a smile before returning upstairs.

Gabriella didn't go to see any of her friends after all, she just decided that she wanted to be alone. She somehow ended up at an empty park and sat down on a bench. She sat there wondering how her life had changed so greatly over this past week just by meeting her dad and sister. Much to Gabriella's dismay, her thoughts reverted back to Troy. They had shared so many great moments together, and she still loved him, as much as she tried to be mad at him. She started to remember how happy she was with Troy, she had never been that happy before meeting him.

Flashback

"I can't believe we did it Troy, that was so awesome." exclaimed Gabriella as they walked out of East High together after their performance of 'Twinkle Towne.'

"You were awesome." Troy complimented.

She smiled in reply.

"I must say, I am quite happy that this is all over now, all our hard work paid off." Gabriella said as she and Troy walked towards her house.

"I must say, I am quite disappointed this is all over now." Troy said in response.

Gabriella looked at him curiously, "Why?"

"Because, I really had a great time spending so much time with you." he said with a smile.

"We'll still spend time with each other Troy, you're my best friend." she replied.

"Gonna miss rehearsing the kiss." Troy said softly, almost inaudible.

"What was that?" Gabriella asked, did she hear correctly.

"Oh, nothing." Troy said.

The two walked in silence for a little bit, and eventually arrived at her house.

"Well, thanks for walking me." Gabriella said as she gave Troy a hug.

"Yeah, no problem." Troy said.

"Well, see you later." Gabriella replied as she opened the door and was about to walk in, when suddenly Troy grabbed her arm.

"Wait, Gabi, I need to tell you something." Troy said.

"Okay, what's up?" asked the curious brunette.

"Look… Gabi… the thing is, well… uhh." Troy started to mutter.

"Troy, what's going on?" she asked a little confused.

"Well, I, wanted to know if maybe you would," Troy gave up, he couldn't possibly tell Gabriella how he felt, so he decided to just show her.

He grabbed her and their lips met, to his surprise, she didn't back away. It was a soft kiss, and the two pulled apart, both not really knowing what to do.

"Umm, sorry, I'll just go." Troy said, very embarrassed.

"Troy, wait." Gabriella said as she ran after Troy.

She caught up to him, turned him around, and kissed him. He deepened it, and they were soon kissing passionately under the stars.

End of Flashback.

A tear slowly rolled down Gabriella's cheek as she remembered the first kiss she shared with Troy. Sure, they kissed in the play, but that wasn't real, when their lips met outside her house, under the stars, that was real.

Gabriella wiped her tears away, and got up, deciding she should head home, not really knowing how long she had been gone. As she walked home, she couldn't help but think of how great Troy was. Maybe she hadn't given him a fair chance to explain, I mean, her and Vanessa were twins, and she could have made more of an effort to tell him. This was more Vanessa's fault than Troy's, heck, it was more Gabriella's fault than Troy's. Maybe she should give Troy a chance to at least explain his side of the story.

In no time at all, Gabriella arrived home, she walked into her house, but she was surprised at what she saw in the living room.

Troy was there, locked in an embrace with Vanessa.

"Gabi, uhhh, hi." Troy managed to say.

Well there you go guys, I had a hard time writing this at the start, but as I kept going, I just started to get a bunch of ideas. I hope this doesn't disappoint, and don't worry, this story is a Troyella. I gave you a little bit of a hint as to why Gabriella was home, and the full story to that is coming closer. Don't know where the story is going, so I don't know how long until I update. Read and Review.
