Ryan made his way out of the Montez residence. Gabriella threw a small gathering for the wildcats after their baseball game. Ryan, after playing in the baseball game, has readily been accepted by the wildcats and was invited to the party.

Ryan was finally able to reach the outside. This day has certainly been a rollercoaster for him. He just needed to take a break and take it all in.

First, he was able to talk to Kelsi after months of trying. Things have been weird between them since the winter musical and he was certainly happy that they were back on speaking terms again.

Then, as he and Kelsi were talking about the talent show, Sharpay came into the picture and informed him that she will be doing the talent show with Troy. He felt his heart break into a million pieces upon hearing what she said. He can not believe that his own twin will betray him just to get what she wants. He, in his 17 years with Sharpay, has never talked back or walked away from his sister, but his emotions had the best of him. He didn't want to break down in front of Kelsi, who seemed to be overwhelmed by the news that she received, so he left without saying a word to her.

And finally on his way to the yoga studio, he bumped into Gabriella and Taylor who invited him to the staff baseball game. He was hesitant at first but realized that there were only two things that he can do to release his stress, yoga and baseball. And since he hadn't played baseball for a long time now, he decided that going with the girls wasn't such a bad idea.

But when they reached the diamond, Ryan felt that he made the wrong choice of coming. He was now surrounded by the wildcats, who seemed not so thrilled to see him. He was in no way friends with any of them, well except for Kelsi but they were still not back to the way they were before, so he felt totally isolated.

But things changed drastically after the game. He received congratulations and pats on the back from people he did talk to. He and Chad even traded clothes for they thought it was fun. And he was invited by Gabriella and the wildcats to join them in the after-party.

Ryan drifted back to reality when he heard footsteps approaching him from behind. He turned around and saw Kelsi approaching him with a smile.

Ryan was about to say something but Kelsi beat him to it. "So, what are you doing out here? I thought you loved parties."

"I think you've mistaken me for my sister." Ryan replied with a smile.

Kelsi giggled as response. Silence covered theme for a while before Kelsi broke the ice once again.

"Are you going to do the talent show with us?"

"I don't know…"

"Why? I mean, I don't want to sound rude or anything but don't you want to perform and win the Star Dazzle Award for yourself maybe as a revenge against Sharpay. You really fit in well with the wildcats."

" Yeah, I guess so. I mean I really want to get back at Sharpay and give her a taste of her own medicine but it just that I haven't done anything without Sharpay. We've always been together. I'm just… I'm just afraid of failing. I'm afraid of going against her. You don't know how nasty Sharpay gets when things don't go the way she wants."

"Oh, Ryan… I think I know how nasty Sharpay gets when she doesn't get her way. I've seen million of times, you know. You just got to find a way to over your fear."

"Yeah… How exactly did you do it?"

"Huh?!"

"How did you overcome your fear of Sharpay? During the callbacks. When you stood up to her?"

"I think... I just had enough. It was fine when she bossed me around, but when other people got involved and hurt, I just couldn't' take it anymore."

Ryan looked back to Kelsi with awe. The things that she just said made total sense for he, himself, felt the same way. He just had to find that source of courage to stand up against his twin.

He then saw Kelsi pull out a music sheet from her bag.

"What's that?" Ryan inquired.

"This? It's Troy and Sharpay's song for the Talent show. Actually, I still have to transpose it tonight. Sharpay said she needs it by tomorrow so she could rehearse with Troy. It's going to take me all night to finish this." Kelsi finished with a sigh. Ryan frowned. He really didn't like the idea of Kelsi working all night just to entertain his sister's wants.

Ryan opened his mouth to say something to Kelsi but a voice from behind them interrupted him.

"Hey, Lovebirds! What are the two of you doing here outside? "

Ryan and Kelsi turned around with blushes present in their face and saw Chad in front of them.

"We were just talking about the number we're going to perform for the talent show. You guys wanted me to choreograph it remember?" Ryan responded immediately, his face still red.

"Ohh… Okay… Well, Gabby asked me to find you guys. Her mother just finished baking brownies and they are delicious. You guys should go inside and try some." Chad informed them and then returned inside the house.

Ryan looked back to Kelsi and tried to contain his laugh when he saw the expression she had on her face.

After gathering herself back, Kelsi spoke." What changed your mind?"

"Let's just say that someone gave me the strength and courage to stand up to Sharpay." Ryan offered his hand to Kelsi. "Shall we go inside?"

Kelsi smiled and took Ryan's hand and they entered the house hand in hand.
