Hey everybody, SO SORRY about not updating sooner. My computer was broken last week, and I was busy over the weekend, but here I am now. I don't own anything here except the plot.

I love you

"I can't believe you convinced me to spy on your brother." Gabriella exclaimed as the trio of friends searched the mall for Ryan.

"You know you're just as curious as we are Gabi." Sharpay said.

Gabriella didn't say anything.

"I guess that's a yes." Taylor said, "Do you have any idea where we should be looking Shar?"

"I dunno, I told you he didn't tell me anything, but I'm guessing, dinner and a movie?" Sharpay explained.

"Well, what time did he say his date was?" Gabriella asked.

"Six, I think." Sharpay said.

"Well, it's 7:45 right now, so he's either eating dinner and talking about the movie, or he already ate dinner and their watching the movie." Taylor said.

"Well, let's hope he's eating dinner, cause if their watching the movie there's no way we can watch them." Gabriella said.

Taylor and Sharpay exchanged glances and both gave Gabriella a smirk.

"Okay, so I'm a little interested." Gabriella said with a laugh.

"He's having dinner." Sharpay said simply.

"How could you know?" Gabriella asked.

"Hello, the whole TWIN thing?" Sharpay said with a 'duh' tone.

The three girls started towards the food court in hopes of finding him.

Meanwhile, Troy and Chad were leaving GameStop, without the Playstation 3.

"I can't believe you brought me all the way here, and you didn't even buy the thing." Troy exclaimed.

"Hey, that thing is way overpriced alright, $600?" Chad said.

"I could have told you that back at my house." Troy explained.

"Oh, well, the Wii looks so much cooler anyway." Chad said.

Troy shook his head, "Whatever, look, let's just get going."

"No way man, I wanna grab a bite to eat first." Chad said.

Before Troy could protest, Chad was already heading for the food court. Troy just sighed, and followed his best friend.

Troy ran to catch up with his best friend, "So now that you mention it, I'm getting pretty hungry to. You wanna cover for dinner?" Troy asked.

"Why do I have to?" Chad asked.

"Cause the pizza earlier was on me." Troy explained.

"You know technically, it was on your DAD." Chad said.

The two best friends laughed, and walked towards the food court. When they got there, Troy noticed two people and recognized them instantly.

"Dude, Chad, check that out." Troy said as he pulled Chad over so that they were behind a corner.

"Uh Troy, what am I supposed to be looking at?" Chad asked.

"THAT!" Troy said as he pointed to Ryan and seemingly Gabriella.

"Hey, is that Ryan, and Gab…" Chad started to say, but before he could finish, Troy was already marching towards them. Chad smiled, "This better work." He thought to himself.

Troy marched over to Ryan and said, "WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?"

"Ummm, Troy, nice to see you, but I'm kinda on a da…" Ryan started.

"You said there was nothing going on with you two!" Troy shouted.

"You know, actually…" Ryan started to say, but was again interrupted by Troy.

"You know what, shut up!" Troy said, before turning his attention to the girl sitting across from Ryan.

"Gabi, look, I messed up okay. You were right, I SHOULD have known it wasn't you, but I didn't. I SHOULD have just taken you back, but instead, I was stupid and said I needed to see what there was between me and Vanessa. I screwed up okay, you have to give me another chance." Troy said.

"Troy look…" she said.

"No, wait, let me finish." Troy said, cutting her off, "Remember when we met, that night at the ski lodge? Well, I know its something I'll never forget. I walked in, and the New Years party was in full swing. They "randomly" picked me to sing up there that night, and they "randomly" picked you. I really don't think it was all that random now though. The way I see it, it was fate, I was MEANT, to sing with you. I remember going up there, and being scared to death, I had no idea I could sing at all, but then I saw you. You looked just as scared as I did, but I didn't wanna seem like a bitch and run away, so I started to sing. After my part was done, I thought I would just walk off stage, and try not to make a big deal out of it, but then I heard something. I heard you, the voice of an angel. I remember starring back at you, and suddenly feeling, not really comfortable, but not really scared anymore. So we sang, and we did great, and then we went outside and watched the fireworks together. I remember turning and looking at you, and then you looked back at me, and I wanted so bad to kiss you right then and there, but you broke the stare. We exchanged numbers, but I never thought I would see you again."

Troy grabbed her hand, "But then, the most amazing thing happened, I went back to school and there you were, in my homeroom. We started to get really close, and I found myself completely infatuated with you. You were all I could think about, I found myself looking for you everywhere when I got to school, just hoping to steal a glance of you. Then, we had the musical together, and you were amazing, like always. That was the night I told you how I felt, and since then everything in my life has been, perfect."

Troy stopped, looked into her eyes, and smiled, "Gabi, when I'm with you, everything just seems, right. When I'm with you, I KNOW, that nothing in the world could go wrong. You are one of the most amazing people I have ever met, and I just wish there was a way I could let you know how much I love you. I wish I could put into words what my feelings are like for you, but I don't want to degrade the emotion into simple words."

Troy stopped again, and closed his eyes before looking back at her. "So please, Gabriella, give me another chance and I swear I won't mess up like this again."

"Troy…"

Troy was taken by surprise, he heard Gabriella's voice, but it didn't come from the girl he was looking at. He turned around, and standing there was the love of his life, teary eyes and all.

He took a moment to process in his mind what was happening. He turned around to Ryan and Vanessa, who gave him a thumbs up and a smile respectively.

Troy and Gabriella ran up to hug each other, and then they found themselves sharing a strong, passionate kiss.

"I love you." Gabriella said as they broke apart, Troy just nodded before closing the space between them in another kiss.

"Okay, okay guys, I'm glad you guys are back together and all, but BREATHE." Chad said as he walked up to them.

"Oh come on Chad, it was SOOOOO SWEET" Sharpay said as she came out from around the same corner Gabriella came from.

"Yeah, why can't YOU be like that?" Taylor asked, as she gave her boyfriend a quick kiss.

"Hey, I'm just as romanticle (Suite Life? lol) as he is." Chad said.

"Wait, did you guys have something to do with this?" Troy asked.

"YOU THINK?" They all said simultaneously.

Troy laughed, "Well, I'm glad you did."

"Me to." Gabriella said as she smiled back at Troy.

"Hey, where are Zeke, Jason, and Kelsi?" Troy asked.

"Yeah, did you guys just leave them out of this?" Gabriella added.

"No, they're just at Gabi's house setting up for the PARTY!" Chad said excitedly.

"Party? For what?" Gabriella asked.

"For you two." Vanessa said.

"What if it DIDN'T work?" Gabriella asked curiously, "Then what would happen to the party?"

"Oh, we were SURE it would work." Ryan added.

They headed back to Gabriella's house, and partied the night away. Troy managed to talk to Ryan, apologizing for how he yelled at him, but Ryan told Troy, "Don't worry about it."

Gabriella pulled Vanessa aside too, thanking her for going through all the trouble she went through to fix what happened.

"Don't worry about it, it's my fault this all happened anyway." Vanessa said.

"Yeah, it is." Gabriella said with a laugh, "But from what I hear, tonight was all your idea, so I just wanted to say, thanks."

Vanessa smiled, and gave her sister a hug, "No problem."

The party ended late, everyone left, and Vanessa went to sleep, but Troy stayed over a little longer.

"Hey, I wanna show you something." Troy said, "Go up to your room." With that, Troy ran out the front door.

Confused, Gabriella did what Troy told her, and went up to her room. She could hear someone struggling outside her balcony, and she went out to look.

"Troy? What are you doing?" she asked.

"The first time I climbed this balcony, that's when I realized that I loved you." Troy said.

Gabriella smiled, and she and Troy shared yet another perfect kiss.

"I love you."

Well, that's the last chapter, I probably will get an epilogue up tomorrow, so look out for that. Thanks again to freakygeniusgurl for the idea on how to do this, and sorry to Jade, the most awesomest, coolest, person ever, cause everything has to come to an end eventually : Read and Review.
