"Well i kinda"
"come on Ryan just like when we were kids when one gets up the other gets up remember"
"ok fine just give me 10 minutes i need to get a quick shower ok"
"Ok then"

Sharpay then happily skips out of Ryan's room and goes down stairs as ryan went to get his morning shower upset that he was woken up at 9:00 on a Saturday morning.

10 minutes later Ryan sleepily walked down stairs to see i verry happy Sharpay waiting on him.
"Why are you so happy at this time of day"
"im alway happy Ryan just cause your not" Sharpay replied while sticking her tongue out at Ryan who smirks and walks in the kitchen to get something to eat followed by Sharpay.

"So what do you want to do today then bro"
"i don't know probably go for a drive or a jog depends how i feel"
"What you jog now"
"Yeah i have done for the last 2 years you never pay attention to me Shar"
"Yes i do, well most o the time i do, i noticed your last girlfriend was a skank"
"Well... ok ill give you that she was haha oh i almost forgot i bumbed into someone from high school last night"
"Really who Troy , Chad"
"No Gabriella, as far as she knows only Taylor Kelsi and chad are back in town but she hasn't spoke to chad yet oh and now us i think we should all meet up for coffee like the good old days and Taylor and Chad are dating now"
"And it took you this long to tell me you know i like gossip and i have to be the first to know"
"Well sorry i kinda beat you to it this time sis"

Sharpay draw a stroppy face and punched Ryan on the arm which caused him to flinch she may be a girl but she sure hit hard. Ryan had called Gabriella up later that day to see if she and the rest of the gang wanted to meet up which they all agreed to go back to the coffee house on sunday after noon for lunch and to catch up on the good old days and find out what went on in each others life.

Sunday finally came round and Gabriella is looking for something nice but sexy to wear hoping to impress Ryan, the doorbell rang and she went to answer it to find Taylor on her doorstep.

"Hey tay what you doing here i though we were meeting up at the coffee shop"
"Yeah i know but i though we would go together"
"Ok sure come in I'm just getting ready make your self at home"
"Thanks Gabs but don't take too long we have to leave in half and hour other wise we will be late and you know how i am rather be early than late to anything"
"Yes yes i know im almost ready anyway"

After 10 minutes Gabriella walks out in a short denim skirt, a light blue halter top and matching sandles.

"Oh my Gabs who are you trying to impress or is that a stupid question"
"Shut up Taylor i just want to look nice i mean its been years since we saw The Evans twins together and i havent seen chad for just as long i just want to make a good impression on them all"
"What ever you say hun listen while you were getting changed Kelsi called she wont be able to make it"
"Oh thats too bad we will need to get her to come down another time and meet up with everyone, but anyway lets get going".

"Come on Shar we are going to be late as usual how come it takes you forever to get ready"
"Calm down Ryan looking this good doesn't just happen and anyway im almost ready just getting my shoes on whats the big rush anyway we are always like late and stuff"
"Oh maybe because we haven't seen the guys for about 10 years now i just want to catch up with everyone that's all"
"You mean a certain someone"
"What, What do you mean i have no idea what your talking about"
"I mean Gabriella i know you have a little thing for her and you always had"
"how do you know"
"Come on Ry we are twins i know these things"
"Nah there must be another reason on how you guessed that because me and you are too different"
"Ry i know i used to boss you around when we were younger but it didnt mean that i didnt care for you or never listened to what you were saying ok i mean i love you bro and i know you really well ok"
"ok thanks Shar"
"don't mention it well come on already lets get going before you start to cry or something"
"Hey"

Both the Evans twins walked out the house and headed toward Ryan's black bmw as sharpay didnt feel like driving today and they headed down to the coffee shop.

Taylor and Gabriella were sitting at one of the booths when Chad walked in and taylor immediately stood up and started waving him over as Gabriella sat her her hand on her head in embarrassment.

As chad came over to the table he gave Taylor a quick peck on the lips and looked at Gabriella

"oh my brie you have not changed a bit" chad said while holding his arms out for a hug "Neither have you i cant believe you still have that wild hair" Gabriella said as she hugged Chad while giggling.

The three of them continue talking for another 15 minutes when Ryan and Sharpay finally turn up, they order their drinks as Ryan looks around to find Gabriella Taylor, Chad and Kelsi, he finally spots three of them and pulls Sharpay by the wrist over towards their table.

"Hey Gabs, Taylor, Chad em wheres Kelsi i thought she was coming also" Ryan asked "She couldnt make it today im afraid" Taylor responed "Oh well man you guys have not changed a bit" Ryan gestured towards everyone as Sharpay stood there tapping her foot "What is it Shar" He asked his sister "Im just waiting on you too move so i can sit down my feet are killing me"
"Well you would have to wear your new shoes didnt you"
"Of course daddy bought me them"

Ryan sat next to Gabriella as Sharoay sat next to Taylor who was next to Chad

"Well i see you guys haven't changed either still fighting with each other" Chad said while laughing "Whatever chad i see you still have that silly haircut" Sharpay shot back "Wow calm down princess whats up with you"
"Nothing why"
"Your just acting a little uptight that's all"
"I am not uptight Dansforth"
"Ok ok im sorry"

Sharpay then turned away and started talking to Taylor and Ryan was eyeing Gabriella up.

"You look nice Gabs"
"THanks you too"
"So been up to much else over the last 9 or 10 years apart from graduating and working at good old east high"
"Nah not really my life has been a bit boring i guess what about your self what were you upto in new york all this time"
"Not much did a few Broadway shows but my heart just wasnt in it anymore so i decided to help Shar out with her clothing store which is one of the mot popular ones in new york with celebrates"
"Oh my god Sharpay you have your own clothing store" Gabriella cut Ryan off and stared at Sharpay

"Yeah i have and its one of the best stores around im thinking about expanding it and making one here in Albuquerque"
"wow thats really cool to add to your collection of business"
"Ryan you already told Gabriella we are taking over Mummy and daddy's business"
"Yeah i never knew it was a secret"
"Oh ok ill let it pass this time but in future i get to tell the exciting news ok"
"Whatever Shar"

Ryan shook his head at sharpay fed up with the way she treats him when their are other people about when she is completely different at home.

The Gang start talking again about silly things hat have happend to them over the years when it started getting late and the coffee shop was starting to close up and they were asked to leave. So they all got up and headed toward their cars as they were walking Gabriella pulled Ryan behind so she could talk to him in private.

"Hey listen Ryan i have had fun tonight thanks for suggesting this"
"No problem ive had a great time aswell its good to see everyone again"
"Yeah it is thank god Sharpay calmed down i though she was going to hit chad when yous first arrived ha.
"Me too but you know what shes like always has to be dramatic"
"i suppose listen Ryan i was wandering if maybe you and me could do something together one night just like the too of us"
"You mean on a date"
"Well if you want to call it a date then yeah i mean only if you want to if not i will understand"
"No i want to i think it sounds like fun how about tomorrow night once you finish work and stuff say about 7:30"
"That would be great yea here's my address"
"Great thank you"

They had finally reached their cars Ryan had parked next to Gabriellia's car where they saw Taylor and Sharpay waiting on their lifts home, Chad had already left.

"Wow ryan is that your car"
"Yeah it is nice isn't it"
"ill say well i guess ill see you tomorrow then"
"You sure will"

They both got in their cars and drove away in oppisit directions.

"Ok Ryan spill"
"What"
"You heard me what were you and Gabriella talking about did you ask her out yet"
"No i didn't"
"Wuss"
"She asked me out"
"You are kidding"
"No we are going out tomorrow so i finally get my chance to be with her and the best thing is no troy.
"im happy for you Ry"

With that the Evans twins arrived home and went straight to bed as Ryan new Sharpay will be up first thing to take him shopping for new clothed for his date tomorrow night.
