I was seriously considering this ending instead of the one I chose. But I think it is equally good as the one I chose, but I'll let you all be the judge of that. Sharpay still dies in the same way, but whole Heaven scene is different. It's more of a full-circle ending. So here is the alternate ending to Hysterical.

Disclaimer: Still don't own anything.

Sharpay slowly opened her eyes and could see nothing. She began to panic. Everything around her was darkness. She tried to call out for help, but nothing came. She tried to move but she couldn't.

It's hard to believe that I couldn't see.

You were always there beside me

She could tell who's voice that was. It sang in the softer way that Gabriella and Troy had done. The voice drew nearer and very slowly she could see, she could move.

A blinding white light shined in her face. Very slowly the white light faded from her vision and a sight that could not be explained met her eyes.

She was in her parent's ballroom. Decorations hung everywhere, in pink and green streamers. In the right hand corner of the room a lone boom-box spilled out a slow song that was painfully familiar. A disco ball from overhead spun slowly around, it was the only way to see anything in the darkness.

Sharpay looked down at her hands and the dress she was wearing. She was dressed as she was the night Ryan died. She touched her hair and ran her hands over her face. She was eighteen again. She looked around the room, feeling shock and terror.

Thought I was alone with no one to hold...

She whirled around and in front of her stood Ryan Evans. "May I have this dance?" He asked smiling. She looked up at him, wide-eyed, not believing.

"Ryan?" She choked out, "Ryan is that really you? Am I dreaming?"

Tears were overwhelming her as she looked upon her brother. For ten years she had grieved his death and had only seen him in dreams. But this didn't feel like a dream. It was all to real.

Ryan shook his head, "No, it's not a dream."

A distant flashback of a limo getting hit viciously, wavered in Sharpay's mind. It all came together and she knew what had happened. But somehow she didn't care.

"Ryan!" She sobbed, throwing herself into his arms, "I've missed you so much. You have no idea!" He wrapped his arms around her like so many years ago.

"Shhhh." He soothed swaying to the soft music that was pouring out of the lone boom box.

"I love you. I love you! I'm sorry I never said that!" She gushed. Tears were overwhelming her as Ryan tenderly stroked her blonde hair.

"It's okay, I know you loved me." Ryan replied. Sharpay wiped her tears away with the back of her hand and tried to calm down.

But she wanted to cry for all the things that had happened! She wanted to cry for finally being reunited with me. She hugged him closely against her, not wanting to let go for fear of losing him again.

"You know Sharpay," Ryan said softly, "I was always there with you. At the funeral, in the graveyard where Troy confessed, when you won your 2 Oscars, I was there."

"I know, Ry. I know." She replied, closing her eyes and feeling her tears subside.

"I could of crossed over," He said, "But I wanted to wait for you."

"Cross over?" Sharpay asked confused. Ryan smiled at her and looked towards the doors that lead out of the ballroom.

He took her hand in his and began to walk to the double doors. Sharpay didn't care where they were going as long as she was with Ryan. Because now they would never be separated again.
