"Please, stop! Don't kill me, PLEASE!" It was about twelve in the morning and they were watching horror movies and eating pizza in the lounge room. They had ordered several movies and were only on the second one.

"Are you scared, Gabby?" Troy whispered taking her hand which was freezing cold. The only source of light in the room was the movie screen. The whole room looked like a mini theatre. In the lobby of it was a concession stand but Gabriella preferred going out to watch movies.

"A little." Gabriella said. There were only twelve movie chairs and two rows. They were all sitting in the front row.

"Whose idea was this to watch this movie again?" Taylor whispered not taking her eyes off the screen.

"Chad," Troy answered. "And where is he?"

They laughed because Chad had gone to bed. The first movie scared him and they spent a good five minutes making fun of him.

"Stop touching me, Troy." Gabriella whispered.

"Ooh," Taylor said with a laugh.

"I'm not doing anything." Troy said. "I'm holding your hand so how could my other hand touch you."

"Ooh," Taylor said again. "Hey! Gabriella!"

"What?!"

"Stop playing!" Taylor said. "You just pinched me."

"Gabriella!" Troy said jumping up.

"What am I doing?" Gabriella asked.

"You keep touching us!" Taylor and Troy said at the same time. Then from behind them the door closed and they all screamed.

"See, I told you it wasn't me." Gabriella said her voice shaking slightly.

"I bet its Chad." Troy said shaking his head. The all stood up and Troy pushed Gabriella closer to the exit. "You go check."

"You're the guy, Troy." Taylor said pulling him ahead of her.

"Fine," Troy said. He walked ahead of them and once he reached the concession stand area and then screamed.

"Okay, now this is just stupid!" Taylor said angrily but with slight fear in her voice. "Come on,"

They began to walk and they made it out the movie room. There were some noises behind them and then suddenly something grabbed Gabriella around her mouth so she couldn't scream. When she turned to Taylor, she was the same way and they looked behind them.

"You jerks!" Gabriella said once Troy let her go. The boys were laughing and laughing unable to control themselves.

"Come on, Gabby," Taylor said angrily. They stalked off down the hallway to Gabriella room and got ready for bed.

"Psst!" Gabriella groaned wondering who was talking to her.

"Go away!" She said swatting at the air. She didn't want to open her eyes but someone began pushing her gently. "Okay!" She opened her eyes and saw Troy pushing her.

"Finally!" He said. "I've been trying to wake you up for the longest time!"

"What for?" She asked trying to get a peek at the radio on her dresser. "It is four in the morning, this better be important."

"It is." Troy said pulling her out of the bed. "I want to show you something."

"Okay, what?" Gabriella asked as he led her to his bedroom.

"Okay, before we came here I bought something for you back in Albuquerque." Troy said as he dragged his suitcase and dropped it onto the bed. Gabriella sat on the bed and watched him dig through it.

"Troy, you have some nice boxers." Gabriella said with a smile. Troy blushed but didn't say anything. Gabriella tucked some hair behind her ear and watched until he pulled out a small box that was wrapped up.

"Here," Troy said. Gabriella took it from him.

"So, should I open it now or later?" She asked.

"Now," Troy said. "Oh, and earlier when we went out to lunch I got these…" He pulled out a paper bag from under the bed and handed it to her.

"What is…oh," She said with a smile when she looked into the bag. "Condoms."

"Yeah," Troy said. Gabriella put the box down and began kissing him. "Wait, open that first."

"Okay," Gabriella picking the box up once more. She slowly opened it and there was a small box. "I wonder what it is."

"Open it." Troy said excitedly. Gabriella opened up the box and saw a diamond necklace with her name on it.

"Wow," was all she could say. "I like it so much."

"Well, merry Christmas." Troy said. Gabriella smiled at him.

"I got you something like last week. My mom said not to mail it yet because she obviously knew you guys were coming." Gabriella explained. "But you can't see it until later."

"Okay," Troy said. Gabriella then began kissing him again and they took it all the way.
