A/N: Huge thanks to Stacey for telling me that I shouldn't delete the whole thing and start again, you have her to thank for this chapter being posted tonight. It's a filler chapter, but it needed to be written so I can move on with the story! Hope you all enjoy it and the next chapter will be out within a week because I'm on break from uni right now! As always, reviews = love!

Gabriella giggled to herself as she heard the soft snores escaping from the pile of blankets her boyfriend was buried under. It was 6am on the last full day they would be at the Tongariro Holiday Park, tomorrow they were going on a 4 and a half hour journey to a small town called Carterton for a few days of rest and relaxation before they hit New Zealand's capital, Wellington.

Pulling the blanket slightly away from Troy in a bid to wake him up, Gabriella felt her heart flutter at the sight of his hair all messed up, the adorable smile playing on his lips as he dreamt and his bare torso now exposed to her hungry eyes. Unable to help herself, Gabriella reached out to draw her small finger down the side of his face, along his jaw line before her thumb danced across his slightly parted lips.

Troy stirred in his sleep, rolling towards Gabriella, wrapping his arms around her waist and burying his face in her cotton covered hip.

"Mmm," he breathed, his grip tightening around Gabriella's slim waist as he woke up properly. "This is a good morning already."

Gabriella's soft giggles filled his ears as her hand rubbed his bare shoulder. "I thought you might wanna come for a run with me?"

"A run? I'm asleep, Gabi," Troy whined.

"You don't look asleep," Gabriella reasoned, reaching down to run her good hand through Troy's messed up strands of hair.

"I am," Troy argued. "Fast asleep."

Gabriella pouted. "I guess I'll go and hang out with my family then, if you don't wanna come for a run."

Troy moved himself away from Gabriella slightly. "Why can't you go for a run?"

"My Mom said I couldn't go alone," Gabriella sighed.

"Cause it's a strange place and you might get attacked by a herd of sheep?" Troy joked.

"A flock of sheep, Troy," Gabriella corrected. "And not because it's a strange place, but because it's still kinda dark out…."

"Dark?" Troy cried out. "What time is it?"

"Um a little after 6…" Gabriella trailed off.

"Six? In the morning? I don't know if we can date if you're going to be waking me up at this time. I don't look this good because I'm up early every morning." Troy joked.

"You're a liar. You told me that you go for a run in the mornings before school!" Gabriella argued, pouting a little.

"Gabi, don't pout. I can't say no when you're doing that," Troy whined and Gabriella pouted more. "Gabi, that's unfair!"

"Please, Troy," Gabriella whispered, leaning down until her lips were hovering over Troy's.

Troy struggled to reach his lips up to Gabriella's own as she moved further and further away from him. "Fine! Kiss me and we'll go for a run."

He felt a chaste kiss upon his lips before he was hit with clothing, namely his shorts and a t-shirt that he could run in.

"That barely counts as a kiss, Gabi," Troy complained, trying to pull her back to me, but Gabriella was quicker than him, moving across his bed before scrambling down the ladder and out of the motorhome, leaving Troy to get changed.

As Troy crawled out of bed his thoughts travelled to the interchange that just happened between him and Gabriella, it made a smile break out across his face as he realised how comfortable they were with each other already, how natural their relationship seemed to come. He was so caught up in his thoughts that he didn't realise he had put his t-shirt on inside out and backwards and he quickly left the motorhome where his brothers were still sleeping.

"Troy, honey?" Lucille's voice came softly as a round of laughter came from Jack and Joseph. "Your shirt is on the wrong way."

Troy jolted out of his thoughts, looking firstly down at his t-shirt and then up at his girlfriend who was struggling not to laugh. Shaking his head at how wrapped up in his thoughts he was to have failed at dressing himself, Troy shrugged off the t-shirt, his eyes connected with Gabriella's as he turned the garment in the right way, his muscles moving hypnotically as he did so.

Feeling herself starting to blush as she thought about Troy's naked body hovering over her, Gabriella knelt down, pretending to tie up her shoe as she waited for Troy to put his t-shirt back on.

Troy smirked as he noticed what Gabriella was doing, resisting the urge to throw himself at her and kiss her senseless. When his t-shirt was back on properly this time, Jack reminded the teens that they were all going to Tongariro National Park at 8.30am and so they needed to be ready to leave at that time in order for the families to get a full day at the National Park.

Waving goodbye to their parents the two teens took off at a brisk jog, warming their muscles up in the early morning air.

"You think we'll get some time alone today?" Troy asked as they jogged out of the holiday park, turning right as they picked up speed.

"You want to get alone time in a National Park?" Gabriella questioned suspiciously.

"Not like that, Gabi," Troy rolled his eyes. "And people say men have a one track mind!"

Gabriella's cheeks turned bright red and she started to run faster, making Troy work had to catch back up with her.

"Did I embarrass you by calling you on your dirty thoughts, Miss Montez?" Troy teased as he finally came to run alongside her, impressed with her speed and stamina when it came to running.

"I should've left you asleep," Gabriella grumbled.

That afternoon, Troy was stretched out on the cool graze soaking up the last of the sun's warm rays. Gabriella was curled into his side, her shallow, even breathing informing Troy that she was still asleep, tired after their long day.

Noticing that the sun was setting and it was about to get very cold, Troy pressed a chaste kiss to Gabriella's lips, nudging her nose with his as he attempted to rouse her from her nap.

The rest of their families were inside the motorhomes, the boys and Charlie napping before dinner and their parents resting, their not so young bodies wary from the bushwalks they had gone on that day, leaving the teenagers to spend some alone time together, though Gabriella had quickly fallen asleep.

"Gabi," Troy whispered, kissing Gabriella once more, his lips pressing against her own a little harder than the last time.

This did the trick, Gabriella's eyelashes fluttered against her golden cheeks before separating to reveal her sleepy, chocolate eyes.

"Hey," Troy murmured, brushing the curls from Gabriella's face as her eyes focused on what had woken her.

"Hey," she yawned stretching her body out before wrapping her arms around Troy's neck and bringing his lips down against her own once more. "You interrupted a good dream."

"Sorry," Troy whispered against Gabriella's lips. "But isn't this better?"

"Mmmm," Gabriella managed to get out as Troy's tongue gently parted her lips and tentatively wrapped around her own tongue. All thoughts of the fact that they were laying out in the open for anyone to see them slipped from the teen's minds as the kiss grew in passion, their bodies pressing together tightly.

Troy's hands held Gabriella's face as he rested on his forearms, his weight resting mostly on Gabriella's body, feeling her chest heaving with her heavy breathing and her hips moving ever so slightly against his groin/ Gabriella's fingers slid from their spot on Troy's neck to move down his back, resting just above the waistband of his pants.

Neither teen heard the door to the Montez motorhome open, but the angry shout of Joseph Montez made their movements still, their eyes shooting open and Gabriella's shocked browns met with Troy's anxious blues.

"Crap," Troy muttered, lifting his body away from Gabriella's as the pair turned to face Joseph.

This wasn't going to end well.
