Troy walked in the gym and saw Gabriella leaning on a bouncy ball with a guy behind her, pushing her back. Jealousy surged over him and he walked furiously over to where they were.

'Troy' Gabriella said, looking up, smiling.

'Can I talk to you please?' he said with gritted teeth.

'Uh, sure'

Gabriella got up and followed him over to the other side of the room.

'What are you doing?' he asked angrily.

'Working out' she replied, confused.

'With him?'

'Yeah, why, is that a problem?' she said, starting to get angry.

'I'd just prefer it if you'd work out with lover boy somewhere I'm not likely to be'

Gabriella burst out laughing, Troy scowled and stormed out.

When Gabriella had composed herself she mouthed a sorry to Daniel and ran after him and found him sat on a bench next to the drinks machine outside. She sat down next to him but he moved up, when she moved closer he moved up again. Gabriella sighed.

'Troy this is ridiculous'

There was no answer.

'Talk to me'

'Why don't you just go and talk to work out boy inside, you know you want to, you don't have to feel sorry for me'

'Troy-Troy-look at me-TROY!' Gabriella said when he still wouldn't look at her.

He turned to her, trying to hold the gaze.

'Daniel's gay'

'W-wha-what?'

'He's gay'

'Yeah I thought that was what you said, then I thought crap'

Gabriella giggled and Troy blushed and put his head in his hands.

'I thought you trusted me?' she asked.

'I guess the green eyed monster just came out in me'

'Oh really' she said, sidling up to him.

'Really' he replied pulling her closer.

'Well I think I prefer the blue eyed Troy, not the green eyed one'

'Prove it' he said mischievously.

Gabriella smiled and leant up and kissed him on the lips, a soft, slow, warm kiss.

She pulled away and they smiled at each other.

'Come on, we have to go get ready for the party' she told him when Sharpay came into view.

'Ugh, I'd rather we have our own party, just me and you'

'Well the sooner we get home, the bigger the party we can have' she whispered to him before he picked her up and ran to the apartment down the road, leaving Sharpay smiling at them.

After their 'private party', Gabriella threw Troy out of the bedroom and got the old dress on. It suited her very well, but it wasn't on a par with the expensive one, which she new was how all the other girls would be dressing, not including Taylor or herself. Sharpay neither she didn't think.

Sharpay had shocked them all and cut all her credit cards from her Dad up and was funding herself now. She wanted to be more independent and was on the look out for jobs. The others were shocked by this and had made bets on how long it would last until she got more credit cards. Troy had lost already because it had already been more than three hours which was his bet.

'Ella! Come on, Taylor's ready, are you coming?' Sharpay asked.

'Yep, I'm here' she said stepping out.

'You look amazing' Taylor said.

'Thanks, I can't help but feel sort of old, though'

Sharpay and Taylor burst out laughing.

'Why's that?' they asked.

'Because I've had this dress a while now and I've already worn it twice, all the other girls going will have new designer gear won't they'

'Yeah, how depressing, especially when we're dressed in old stuff' Sharpay said.

'Hey, you could have had all designer if you hadn't cut up those cards' Taylor reminded her.

'Yeah, but then I wouldn't be living in the real world would I?'

They agreed and walked to the lobby and found the guys waiting for them.

They linked arms and walked to the party. As they walked in, Gabriella felt all eyes were on her and Troy. He was easily the hottest guy on the team; these blonde girls couldn't handle the way he was already with someone.

'Troy, come here, I want you to meet someone, you too guys' the coach said, taking the men away. They smiled apologetically at the girls before walking off.

'Right, left to fend for ourselves in a pit of hungry man-eating lions, should be interesting' Taylor said.

'Well, if you want, I could always bring out the Ice princess side in me, I'm pretty sure she's matured to ice queen now though' Sharpay said giggling.

'I don't know Shar, I think they're all on a par with you anyway' Gabriella said looking around before her eyes landed on one girl. She was wearing the dress she couldn't afford. Gabriella whispered to the others and they nodded approvingly.

They looked around and admired and disapproved of some dresses, before going to the bathroom to freshen up. They walked back out after a nice conversation with the towel-lady and went to fetch a drink.

'Excuse me' someone said behind Gabriella. The girls all turned around.

Stood behind them were two Blondie's (as the three girls nicknamed them).

'Where did you get you're ring from?' one asked, indicating to Gabriella's engagement ring.

'Oh, Tiffany's'

'Really, you must tell me which area,' the other said, 'my brother's looking for a knock-off too but he can't find one anywhere' before laughing with the other.

Gabriella looked at Sharpay who looked furious. She stepped forward, letting the ice queen appear.

'You obviously don't know anything about rings, Gabi; can I borrow it a second please?'

She took the ring and showed them the inside which was engraved with the Tiffany emblem.

'That proves that it's real, knock-off's don't have that, I guess you don't understand about engagement rings, your boyfriend obviously isn't looking to propose any time soon, or is he, maybe that's why you wanted to know where to get the knock-offs? Toodles'

She waved at them while they huffed off. Gabriella slipped it back on just as Troy came back up.

'Hey baby' he said, kissing her neck.

'Hey'

'Do you want to go now; we don't have to stay the whole night'

'We haven't been here long'

'Yes we have,' Troy said looking at his watch, 'we've been here nearly four hours'

The girls looked at each other in amazement, had they really been here that long?

'Uh, I guess then, aren't you supposed to stay, seeing as you're the captain?' she asked.

'Nope, I explained I have a baby at home that needs looking after and they let me leave, so are we going?' he asked, slipping his arm round her waist.

'Yep, where are the others?' she asked.

'Oh they're coming, they won't be long' he said to the other girls.

They nodded and smiled and Gabriella and Troy walked out.

'Hey, do you want to take a detour?' he asked.

'Sure'

They walked in silence through the park, holding hands.

Troy stopped and said,

'Ella, look up'

She did so and Troy said.

'Count the stars'

'Troy that's impossible' she said looking back at him.

'Well then you know how impossible it is for me to describe how much I love you, I love you 1000 times over every star in the sky, even the ones you can't see'

Gabriella had tears in her eyes.

'I love you too, but including the moon' she said, wrapping her arms round his neck and standing on her tip toes.

'Don't forget the planets' he said, smiling.

'Or their moons either' she giggled.

He smiled and kissed her nose softly.

'That's all I get?' she asked jokingly.

'For now' he said simply, not letting her go.

'Well then, I might take back the planets and their moons' she said giggling.

Troy swept her up until he was holding her bridal style and kissed her passionately. They pulled away and Gabriella smiled and said softly, stroking the hair out of his eyes,

'Or I might not' before kissing him again.

Troy took her hand and they carried on walking, he began to sing and Gabriella joined in. They new the words off by heart, it was their song.

Troy/Gabriella/both

They say in this world, nothing lasts forever
But I don't believe that's true.
'Cuz the way that I feel, when we're together,
I know that's the way I'll always feel for you.

From now until forever,
That's how long I'll be true
I'll make you this vow and promise you now
Until forever, I'll never stop loving you.

There'll come a day when the world stops turning,
And stars will fall from the sky
But this feeling will last when the sun stops burning.
All I want to do is love you until the end of time.

From now until forever,
That's how long I'll be true
I'll make you this vow and promise you now
Until forever, I'll never stop, never stop, I'll never stop loving you.

It's gonna take more than a lifetime,
to give you all my love,
all the love I feel for you tonight.
From now until forever,
That's how long I'll be true
I'll make you this vow and promise you now
Until forever, I'll never stop loving you.
From now until...(oh yeah)
That's how long I'll be true (true)
I'll make you this vow (oh yeah) and promise you now
Until forever,

I'll never stop loving you.

You...Until forever, yeah...I'll never stop loving you.

They sat down on a bench and Gabriella snuggled into him. They looked up towards the stars and counted their blessings. They had their friends, they had their family, they had a daughter combining them together, but most of all, they had each other.

'I love you Ella, you know that don't you?' Troy asked her softly, stroking her hair.

She turned and looked up at him.

'I've always known that'

A/N

That's it, all done! I can't believe it! It's so upsetting! I hope this was a nice ending for you though. I tried to make it as cute as possible. Lol.

Ps. Due to popular demand, I'll be doing 'waiter dude' next, seeing as nearly every single one of you liked it most. I don't think I'll be doing a sequel, it would probably just ruin it anyway!

Thank you to all the reviewers! I love you guys, you helped me want to update every time! Review this one last chapter for me and tell me how you though the story's gone through out! Thank you! xxx
