Troy Bolton: Extraterrestial

"Epilogue"

"...for you I'd risk it all.." - Katy Perry, E.T.

*8 Months Later*

Gabriella sighed, laying on her bed with her iPod ear-buds in her ears as Run by Snow Patrol blared in her ears. Graduation was only two weeks away now, and here she was...should be excited but not. Should be reading the letter she got from Stanford but instead she shredded it. She sighed, looking at the screen of her iPod and changed songs to Once Upon A Dream by Emily Osment. She smiled, she dedicated this song to Troy right after he left; hardly listening to anything else. Sure, she'd listen to other songs, but she'd always go to this one. Tap tap. She lifted her head, her eyebrows crinkling together. Tap tap. "What?" she muttered in confusion, getting off her bed and going to her balcony doors (her parents had moved to a different house in the last eight months-much to Gabriella's dismay. How was Troy to find her now?) Tap tap. She opened the balcony doors, walking out and looking around; seeing nothing. She sighed, hugging her arms around herself as a new song started to play in her ears. Don't Stop Believing by Journey. "I like this house...it has a deck for privacy." She whipped around at the voice, her eyes glistening at the familiar sight.

Gabriella smiled up at him, "I can't believe this."

"I took a wrong turn when I got to Jupiter."

"It's been eight months-"

"How long do you think it takes to get to just that planet?"

Gabriella giggled, and smiled, "You look really handsome." He smiled at her, "I've missed you alot... I kept thinking about you every second of the day...s..."

Gabriella smiled, "You think that's bad? Everytime I turned around I saw you're face somewhere." He chuckled, "Well, I'm here now."

Gabriella looked at him, "How long do you have?"

Troy smiled, hovering over the railing and then landing on the balcony. Gabriella smiled, shaking her head. "You still have yet to teach me how to use those things.." Troy laughed, grabbing her the waist and pulling her towards him and kissing her lips harshly, yet tenderly. Gabriella smiled into the kiss; winding her arms around his neck and through his hair. He chuckled, pulling away and leaning his forehead on hers, "maybe I'll teach you before ...well, before I leave-but I have to tell you something..." she tilted her head to the side, "what?"

"I want to see you -you said it was called 'graduation'..." Gabriella nodded, not being able to control her smile from splitting on her face. Troy smiled, "I want to see you 'graduation'."

Gabriella giggled, pecking his lips, "the verb is actually 'graduate' but you were close." Troy smiled, leaning against the railing, "I've been away too long."

"Hmm..only eight months." He kissed down her jaw to her neck. "Too long."

She giggled, lulling her head back and twisting her fingers in his hair. 'I really missed you.."

He smiled pulling his head up to look at her. "Not as much as I missed you-come." he grabbed her hand, lifting her up as he began to hover again. She giggled again, "where are we going?"

"Ever ridden in an alien ship?"

Gabriella giggled, "Nope. I can say I haven't.."

"Then come on." she giggled as he wrapped his arm around her and lifting her up on the roof. Gabriella giggled, "On my roof?"

He chuckled, "I couldn't park up front." she laughed, "Nope. we couldn't have that.. can we?"

He shook his head kissing her lips softly. "shall we go to the spaceship?" She giggled nodding as he walked with her inside the spaceship. she looked around, "this is so cool.." she giggled. It was dark, but it was better than driving a car.

The door closed, Gabriella sat in the seat next to Troy, looking around. "Where to first?" Gabriella grabbed his hand, squeezing it and moving to sit on his lap and putting her lips close to his ear. "Anywhere...with you."

The End...

...for now
