AN: Second part of Time to Prepare.
With the girls
"Okay, so we don't have to get jobs until we get the babies, so what are we going to do?" Sharpay asked sipping on her Iced Latte. The girls were sitting at Starbucks after coming from the studio.
"I think we should hang out and enjoy our free lives while they last?" Gabriella said taking a sip of her Strawberry & Crème Frappacino.
"That's a good idea, why don't we go back to our house and go in our finished basement?" Kelsi asked. "Or yours gabi, since you guys have all that stuff down there! If that's okay with you?"
"Yea, it's totally okay, let me just text Troy and tell him we're coming," Gabriella said, and then sent a quick text to Troy.
The girl's all got up and piled into Sharpay's white Range Rover and drove to Gabriella's house.
When they got there the boy's were already downstairs. Troy and Chad were playing rock band: Troy on guitar, expert of course, and Chad on drums, easy duh, it's Chad (I love this game I'm on hard on both of them). Jason, Ryan, and Zeke were just sitting there watching Troy play with a face that could say "Gawd, I need to give Chad some lessons", after the song was finished which happened to be "Dani California by the Red Hot Chili Peppers" Troy had a 97 and Chad had a 76. Gabriella said:
"Chad, Chad, Chad let me show you how it's done!" and as he got up out of the chair she sat down.
"Yea, right like you could get a better score!" Chad said, having no clue how good she was.
"What song bell?" Troy asked with a slight smirk.
"Um, let's say one of the hardest songs on here, Brain Power by Freeze Pop. You and me Expert," she said sharing the smirk. (This is actually a very hard song; I failed on hard, and even got like an 82 on medium)
When the song started everyone was mesmerized they were awesome.
"Yeah, like I couldn't do that," Chad said when they were done. With Gabriella and troy both got a 98.
"Yea we all know you couldn't Chad don't even try!"
"Whose guitars?" Sharpay said changing the subject as she spotted two acoustic guitars and one electric.
"The light blue one is mine, and the red one is Troy's, the black and white one is both of ours," Gabriella said.
"Oh, so both of you play? Why don't you play something?" Ryan said, as everyone else except Troy and Gabriella nodded in agreement.
"NO!" they both shrieked.
"Please, just one song each, and then one together?" Alexis asked with a pout.
"Fine, but no more after that, but troy goes first!" Gabriella said reaching for each of there guitars.
"Thank you," everyone said.
When Gabriella handed Troy his guitar he started strumming and then started singing:
Hello
beautiful
how's it going?
I hear it's wonderful in
California
I've been missing you
its true...
But
tonight
I'm gonna fly
Yeah tonight
I'm gonna fly
'Cause
I could come across the world,
And see everything
And never be
satisfied
If I couldn't see those eyes
Hello
beautiful
It's been a long time
Since my phone's
rung
And you been on that line
I've been missing you
It's
true
But tonight
I'm gonna fly
Yeah tonight
I'm gonna
fly
Oh yeah
'Cause I could comb across the world,
see
everything
And never be satisfied
If I couldn't see those eyes
Everyone clapped as he finished. Then Gabriella started singing:
Feels
like I have always known you
And I swear I dreamt about you
All
those endless nights I was alone
It's like I've spent forever
searching
Now I know that it was worth it
With you it feels
like I am finally home
Falling head over heels
Thought I
knew how it feels
But with you it's like the first day of my
life
Cuz you leave me speechless
When you talk to me
You
leave me breathless
The way you look at me
You manage to disarm
me
My soul is shining through
Can't help but surrender
My
everything to you
I thought I could resist you
I thought
that I was strong
Somehow you were different from what I've
known
I didn't see you coming
You took me by surprise and
You
stole my heart before I could say no
Falling head over
heels
Thought I knew how it feels
But with you it's like the
first day of my life
You leave me speechless
When you talk
to me
You leave me breathless
The way you look at me
You
manage to disarm me
My soul is shining through
I can't help but
surrender
Oh no
My everything to you
You leave me
speechless
(the way you smile, the way you touch my face)
You
leave me breathless
(it's something that you do I can't explain)
I
run a million miles just to hear you say my name
Baby
You
leave me speechless
You leave me breathless
The way you look at
me
You manage to disarm me
My soul is shining through
I
can't help but surrender
My everything to you
When she finished everyone was clapping as well and then urged them to sing together. Troy started:

When they finished, the whole room erupted in applause. When they put there guitars pack up, everyone started to tell each other more about one another.
"So, what about friends at home?" Taylor asked Gabriella.
"Well, my best friend's are Michaela, Selena, Ellie, Lucas, Jeremy, and Dorian. It's been like that for forever. We all met in kindergarten. Well me and Michaela met first, we were born two day's apart. And then we met Troy and Jeremy when we started hanging out with the kids on the block. And then the rest of us met at school and on the bus, we were all in the same class. Even in middle and high school we all had at least two classes with the whole gang!" Gabriella said, smiling at the memory of her meeting her friends and boyfriend.
"Oh cool so how long have you and troy been dating?" Alexis asked.
"Well it started at the age of thirteen, eighth grade we had dated each other but it only lasted for a couple of weeks cause you know relationships at that age don't last that long. So we dated for a couple of week's once a year until I think until junior year and then we had dated for like 3 months but had a horrible break up with ending up us not talking to each other, until I dated the football captain Troy's rival, since he was the basketball captain and troy confronted me about it, and that ended up we got together and been together ever since!" Gabriella said ending with a smile.
"Wow, talk about complicated." Sharpay exclaimed and all of the other girl's nodded in agreement.
"It was very complicated, but I think we always had the boyfriend girlfriend thing going on, even our parents tried to get us to talk to each other when we weren't!" Gabriella exclaimed. "So, Shar what about you?"
"Well, my best friends are Lexi, Tanya, Samantha, Karman, Seth, Mark, and Kevin. At first Lex was my best friend and the group was me, her, Ryan, and Ryan's best friend at the time, Kyle. When we got in middle school, Zeke joined are group and Kyle dropped out to hang with his hockey buddies since, me and Lex are into Drama and Ryan and Zeke were into Basketball. When we joined drama club, we met Tanya and Karman," Sharpay said and Alexis continued:
"Ryan and Zeke met Seth, Mark, and Kevin on the basketball team. So that was our group until my twin, Samantha, joined are group when my mom told us that she was moving back, from California where my dad, step mom, an step brother live. When me and Sam were three, are parents got divorced, and my mom moved here with me while my dad stayed in California with my sister, but moved to LA." Alexis said only to be cut off by Gabriella.
"What, seriously what is your sister's last name?" Gabriella asked thinking intensively.
"Um, Johnson?" she stated more like a question than a statement.
"Oh, I knew a girl named Samantha Johnson, but she moved to Miami, but she looked nothing like you!"
"Well, we're fraternal twins."
"Oh, okay you can continue."
"Well, my sister moved back when we were 15, and she joined are group and gradually everyone paired up me and Ryan, Shar and Zeke, Sam and mark, Tanya and Seth, and Karman and Kevin." She finished.
"Oh, wow, after we do friends we have to do family! So Kel's what about you?" Taylor exclaimed, asking the petite brunette that seemed shy.
"Um, well in are group it's Me, Jason, Carson, Christopher, Karley, and Justin. I really don't know how it formed it just kind of did. And then I guess me and Jason, got together when Carson and Justin, and Chris and Karley got together. Nothing special."
"If you say so, didn't you come from Moscow? Well you can tell us after Taylor tell us about herself then we'll do families!" Sharpay squealed.
"Ok, so my best friend's are Andrea, Michelle, Jesse, and Nathan. Andrea, Michelle, and I were best friends when I first moved to Seattle, and then Jesse, Nathan, and Chad started basketball, and we did ballet and we met at the sports center and then Andrea and Jesse got together, then Michelle and Nathan, and then me and Chad,"
"Okay, so family! Who wants to go first?" Sharpay asked. "Never boy's get over here, NOW!" She screamed as the boys ran over quickly.
"WHAT? WHO'S DYING?" they all screamed at once.
"No one, but sit down, we're about to tell stories about family," Sharpay said simply.
"What so we lost "epic" because of some stories?" Ryan said. "G-d Shar, not again!"
"Well, sor-ry but sit down since you're over here! I mean it's not liked I screamed Stop the game because I had a broken nail. That's so 1st grade!" she said, while the boys reluctantly sat down next to their respected others.
"Ok, so Gabi goes first, then Troy, then Me, and then Zeke, and then Lexi, then Ryan, well not really cause my story is his, and then Kelsi, Jason, Taylor, and last Chad," Sharpay said in one breath. "Okay, Gabi your turn!"
"Well, I was born in Salinas my mom home schooled me and my sister Kourtney, who is 7 year's older than me, until we moved to LA when I was 5, at that time I had another little sister, who was 2 when we moved to LA. And when I was 10 I got another little sister, Candace, and when I was 14 I got my last sibling my little sister Logan. That's all so now Kourtney is 25, I'm 18, Devon is 15, Candace is 8, and Logan is 4," Gabriella finished.
"Ok, so no boys, just sisters?" Kelsi asked.
"Yea, and I'm glad because compared to Troy's brother's my sister's are angels, no offense Troysie though. All my sisters are get along, but we can annoy each other at times." Gabriella said with a giggle.
"Oh, I know how that is," Sharpay said with a laugh. "Okay, Troy your turn!" she squealed.
"When we first moved to LA, my sister, Nicole, was 10 and I was 2,and then when I was 6, I got my little sister Addee, and then when I was 12 I got a little brother Trevor, and then at 14 I got, my little brother, Jared, and at last they stopped at my little sister Sara, who I got when I 17. So Nikki is 27, I'm 19, Addee is 13, Trevor is 7, Jared is 5, and Sara is 2," Troy stated.
"Wow, your parents are bunnies," Alexis said.
"I know it's annoying some times. But you got to love em."
"Okay," Sharpay squealed. "My turn, so well it's not that exciting. I have a twin brother Ryan, he's 19 like me, well I guess you guy's already know that. Well other than that I have a little brother Roman who is 15 and a little sister Cameron who is 7. That's it, but I barley see them since I moved out though."
"Wow, wish my life was like that, well not really but kind of," Troy said.
"Okay, Okay enough about me and Shar, it's your turn Zeke, even though me, Shar and lex already know!" Ryan said.
"Well, it's just me my mom and dad, and my sister Lily who's 16," Zeke said in monotone.
"Okay, and I'm sorry Zekey, we can combine are family's," Sharpay said as she kissed him on the cheek. "Okay, Lexi, your turn!"
"I have two sister's my twin Samantha is 20, obviously, and my other sister Alyson is 18, that's it no big family!" Alexis said.
"Okay, Kelsi! You go!"
"I have one sister Kellie, and she's 22, that's all!"
"Wow, small family, Okay Jason your turn,"
"I have one brother Justin, who is 23 but is soon to be 24 in like 4 days,"
"Wow, another small family, ok Taylor your turn,"
"I have I have two brothers Blake who is 25 and Brandon who is 16(ha ha so do i) and a sister Tara who is 10,"
"Finally, big family again! And Chad your last,"
"I have two sister's, Anna who is 7 and Blair who is 25, wait scratch that Blair is the little one and Anna is the big one, yea that's it!"
"Wow Chad, you sure?" Troy asked.
"Yea, I mean I think, wait Anna is the one with Mack, and Blair is the on with Scotty,"
"So, both of your sister's have kids but one is 25 and one is 7?" Gabriella asked confused.
"Wait, no Taylor you tell them! I'm getting a headache!"
"Okay, Anna is the 25 year old and has a daughter McKenzie, and Blair is 7 with a dog named Scotty, g-d Chad forget your own sister's and niece!" Taylor said hitting him on the arm.
"Wait, we we're supposed to tell about nieces and nephew's too?" Kelsi asked.
"No, but we can anyone have any?" Sharpay asked, and mostly everyone nodded.
"My sister, Kourtney has a daughter Amanda who is 4 and a son Ethan who is 2," Gabriella said.
"My sister Nicole ahs three kids, Abigail and Emily are 6 and Nathan is 2," Troy said.
"My brother Blake has a son Ian who is 4," Taylor said.
"My sister Blair has a 3 year old daughter McKenzie, I mean Anna," Chad said.
"My sister has a daughter Kayla who is 1," Kelsi said.
"My brother has, a son and daughter Jake and Jade who are 2 soon to be 3 in like a week or two," Jason said.
"Aw, Jason you have to miss your Brothers and your niece and nephew's birthday how sad, they'll need there Uncle Jason!" each girl added a sentence and hugged them.
"Where does the
love go
I don't know
When it's all set and done
How could I
be losing you forever,
After all the time we spent together
I
have to know why I had to lose you
Now you've just become like
everything
I'll never find again
At the bottom of the ocean"
"Oh, Gabi can I answer it? Please?!" Sharpay asked holding the phone.
"Sure, it's Kourtney I don't know why you want to though!" Gabriella asked with a giggle.
"Cause your phone is cool," Sharpay stated, about to press the talk button on Gabriella's baby blue iPhone that matched Troy's dark blue one. "Hello?"
"Hi, four not me auntie Gabi!" said a cute giggly voice on the other line.
"No, I'm not sweetie, but who is this cutie on the phone?" Sharpay said with a giggle.
"Me is A-Mandy-a, is Uncie Twoy thewre?" said the voice on the other end.
"Yes, hold on A-Mandy-a!" Sharpay said, giving the phone to Troy.
"Hi, Mandy!" Troy said, turning the phone on speaker.
"Uncie Twoy!" she said with a squeal. "Twell auntie Gabi dat Ethwen is being mwean to me!"
"Oh really Mandy? Well tell Ethan to be nicer or I won't play basketball with him! Okay?"
"Ofay," she said and then yelled, "Ethwen Uncie Twoy swaid, stop being mwean to me ora he fawon't pway baskey bal wit thu!" she turned back to the phone and said "Ofay, he swoppted, thank thu! Mommy wants to twalk to thu so Bye, Wove Vu!" she said.
"Okay, bye Mandy, love you too!" Troy said, before he turned the phone off speaker phone and heard Kourtney's voice come on the phone.
"Hey Troy, sorry but came running crying saying she wanted to talk to you! But I thought she called your phone not Gabi's," the latter said.
"It's okay Kourt, I don't mind," Troy said.
"If your sure, but is there any chance I can talk to my sister?"
"Um, sure Bye, her Bell," Troy said and then handed the phone to Gabriella.
"Hola!!... Estoy bien y usted?... Eso está bien pero i tienen que ir... no es que no tienen realmente demasiado ... bien te quiero demasiado Adios," Gabriella said as she ended the phone call, to receive strange looks from everyone but Troy. (Sorry my Spanish isn't that good; I don't take it anymore I take Latin)
"What, my family is Filipino, Spanish, and Caucasiun, I do speak all of the languages!" Gabriella said with a chuckle. "Even Troy now's a little bit of Filipino and Spanish, but is not that fluent but can hold a conversation!"
"Really than Troy did she say? Huh?" Sharpay questioned.
"She said Hello!!... I'm good and you?... That's good but I have to go…. No it's not that I really have too… okay I love you to Bye, now beat that ha!," Troy said with problem.
"Well sorry, anyway Amanda is sooooo cute, especially when she was talking to Troy!" Sharpay said with a squeal.
"Well, yeah, she has known him as he uncle since she was born!" Gabriella said in a duh tone.
"Yea, that's the same way Abby, Em, and Nate talk to Bell, but just not as cute as her, they are devil's when Nikki, My other sister's, My mom, Girl cousin's, and Gabi arnt around, it's like they don't like dude's only girl's!" Troy exclaimed.
"Well, you guy's act like you hate them when your busy, so they get comfort from us!" Gabriella said in a matter-of-fact tone.
"But still devil's," Troy exclaimed with a sigh.
"I know what you mean, Mack is so bad at time's, like last week she got bored with her finger paint, while I was asleep and painted everything she could get her hands on! I still have nightmares of her screaming t me because she gave me a scary clown face," Chad said.
"G-d, Chad that's why you know, well most humans do, not to leave a 3 year old, unsupervised with paint!" Sharpay scowled at him.

"Troy, can I tell you something and make you not get mad at me?" Chad asked.
"Yea, I'll try not too!" Troy said.
"Your girlfriend and Friend's are HOT!" Jason said.
"You guy's do know that you have girlfriend's right?" said a voice behind them.
"Yea, and sorry Sharpay, but I agree," Zeke said.
"Oh, it's okay as long as we can say, Gabriella your boyfriend and guy friend's are HOT, but we won't try anything, especially Jeremy!" Sharpay said, and the other girl's agreed, as the boys, excluding Troy fumed.
