Alright everyone- this is the epilogue for 'Reflection.' It's sad that it's ending but there is going to be a sequel eventually! I want to get a few chapters of 'Father to Daughter' out before the sequel which will be called, 'Live Every Moment' thanks to Marri for the title. This is kind of short but I hope its ok.

"I can't do this Taylor. What if he changes his mind? Oh, god, what if he realizes that we're wrong for each other?" Sharpay was freaking out. Here she was, in the back room of a gorgeous chapel, preparing to get married to Troy Bolton. Sharpay was currently fanning herself while taking deep breaths.
Taylor rushed over to her friend and embraced her. "Oh honey. Troy loves you more than anyone in the world. He won't change his mind and you two are absolutely perfect for each other. Just take a few deep breaths and relax." Taylor soothed, fixing Sharpay's veil. "You're getting married!" She squealed, jumping excitedly.
Sharpay grinned as she looked down at herself. "I am aren't I?" She turned to look in the vertical mirror and gasped. She looked beautiful. The gorgeous Satin side draped, A-line white dress was strapless with a beaded lace bodice and lace trimmed skirt suited Sharpay perfectly. It showed off her beautiful and envious curves. The A-line skirt flowed away from her body at the waist and ended with a Chapel train following behind her. Her hair was half up, half down, styled in perfect curls, and parted to the left. Her make up looked natural; just a touch of eyeliner, the perfect amount of blush, and a touch of lip gloss. (Hair and dress links in my profile ;))
"Shar, you look gorgeous." Taylor said softly, earning a smile from the bride. Sharpay turned around and studied Taylor's outfit.
Taylor's green bridesmaid dress looked stunning on her. The not-to-low cut dress was simple and flowed all the way to her ankles. The shape of the dress suited her perfectly. (Again, link in profile.) Tay, you look amazing. Danforth is not going to be able to take his eyes off of you."
Taylor giggled and smoothed down her dress. "Hey- I'm a Danforth now too, remember?" She lifted up her left hand to show two rings on her ring finger. Sharpay rolled her eyes.
"How could I forget?" She teased, put suddenly her nerves kicked in again. "Taylor I'm so nervous. I've never been this bad since junior high." She laughed weakly. Sharpay looked up at Taylor frantically. "Tay, Can you get my mom. I need her right now."
Taylor nodded her head. "Sure. Don't worry honey; everything's going to be ok." She said softly before leaving the room. Once she was gone, Sharpay started pacing the room, hoping it would help her nerves. A few minutes later, Derby Evans walked into the room and immediately ran over to her daughter and hugged her.
"What's wrong sweetie?" She asked, careful not to ruin her daughters' hair. Sharpay wrapped her arms around her mother.
"I'm scared mom." She admitted. "What if I'm a bad wife and Troy decides to leave? Or what if he sees me walking down the aisle and thinks 'what's wrong with me? Why am I marrying her?' Mom help me!" She cried frantically, pulling away from her mom and sitting on a chair against the wall.
Derby laughed to herself, knowing that's what she was like when she had gotten married years ago. She gracefully took a seat next to her daughter and wrapped an arm around her shoulders. "Sharpay, listen to me. Troy is not going to, and never will, change his mind. You are the only woman for him, and before you ask 'how do you know?' let me tell you. I have never seen so much love and adoration shine through someone's eyes like I see Troys' do for you. You should see the way his face lights up when he hears your name, or sees you walk into a room. The way you can out a smile on his face, and vise versa, is something that nobody else can do. The little things he does for you, he'll never do for anyone else. You are lucky Sharpay. You found someone that loves you for you like your dad for me. What you and Troy have is true love so don't fight it. Don't think like this. Nothing or no one in the world can change his mind about loving you." She finished and kissed Sharpay's head reassuringly.
Sharpay's eyes were watering up by the end of her speech. "Mom, I'm going to start crying." She laughed along with her mom. "I love you mom. I know I don't say that much but I do. Thank you." She kissed her mothers cheek before standing up. She walked over to the mirror and smiled at her reflection. To her, she looked amazing; but that was a Sharpay thought. She always looked good. Her mother stood behind her, her hands proudly on her daughters' shoulders. "I'm getting married!" She shrieked quietly and Derby laughed.
"It's time Sharpay." Taylor said as she peeked her head into the room. She smiled reassuringly and gave her a thumbs up. "Everything is going to be fine."
Derby looked at her daughter one last time. "I'll be in the front row Sharry." She used the nickname she called her when she was younger. "Don't be nervous. It's just a huge step in your life." She joked, earning a playful glare form Sharpay. "I'll send your father in dear. I love you."
"Love you too mom." Her mother left the room and Sharpay took a few more deep breaths. She looked back at herself in the mirror, tilting her head to the side and smiled. "Goodbye Miss. Evans and hello Mrs. Bolton." She whispered happily but nervously fidgeting with the flowers in her hands.
"I believe it's time to give my daughter away." Vance Evans said form the doorway. Sharpay turned around and smiled nervously.
"It is daddy, it is." She smiled and held her hand out for her dad. Instead of grabbing it, Vance pulled his only daughter in for a hug. "I love you daddy. So much." She whispered into his shoulder. Vance smiled, tears already gathering in his eyes.
"My baby girl is growing up." He laughed as the two pulled away. "You look beautiful Princess." He stroked her cheek affectionately. "I'm sure your mother has already said this but, we're so proud of you. You've accomplished so much in your life and have dealt with Ella at the same time." She wiped his eyes as the emotions became too much for him. "Don't ever stop being yourself. You're perfect just the way you are." He kissed her cheek. He held out his arm and smiled. "Now let's go get you married."
She giggled and linked her arm through his. "Let's do it."
6 year old Ella was the flower girl. She skipped down the aisle, gaining laughs from all the guests and her father at the alter who was nervous as hell, and threw the flower petals on the ground. She was smiling and waving at everyone. She was definitely like her mother. Then the bridesmaids and groomsmen followed, Including Taylor and Chad as the Maid of Honor and Best man, along with Ryan, Lydia and few more of their friends. Surprisingly, Gabriella and Kevin were there in the back row.
The music started playing and everyone one stood up and looked to the back of the aisle. Sharpay walked through the doors, arm linked through her fathers. Once Sharpay met Troys' gaze, her worries immediately disappeared and she knew that he was the one and only for her. The father and daughter walked down the aisle and smiled politely at the guests. Once she made it to the alter, she turned to her father and allowed him to kiss her cheek. "Love you baby."
"Love you too daddy." He patted her arm before letting it go. She grabbed Troys' hand that he held out towards her and walked to stand in front of Troy. 'Love you' he mouthed. She mouthed it back as well. They shared a smile before turning towards the pastor.
"We are gathered here today…"

"I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride." Troy smiled and planted a soft kiss on Sharpays' lips. Sharpay smiled into before the two pulled away and held their enlaced hands in the air, facing the guests. They all applauded for the two and Sharpay wiped the tears that were falling down her cheeks. She saw her parents doing the same things. Ella was jumping up and down and ran towards them, jumping into Troys' awaiting arms.
"Mommy and daddy!" She exclaimed, kissing her fathers' cheek. Sharpay took Ella from her and kissed her cheek.
Chad walked up to the two and took Ella from Sharpays' arms. "I'll take this booger from you two. We'll see you at the reception." He smiled as Ella held onto him. "Congrats you two." He walked off with Ella and Troy turned to Sharpay.
"Come on Mrs. Bolton, we have a limo waiting outside for us." The two walked down the aisle. Some people had already left the chapel. When they stepped outside, everyone threw the sparkles and confetti on them. Sharpay and Troy laughed good- heartedly before walking to their limo. Once they were in front of the door, they turned around and waved to everyone. "We'll see you at the party!" Troy announced, earning cheers from everyone.
The husband and wife climbed into the limo and told the driver where to go. "I love you Troy Bolton." Sharpay whispered against his lips. She closed the gap between them. "With all my heart."
Troy smiled and leaned his head against her shoulder. He placed a loving kiss on her neck. "I love you too Sharpay Bolton. Forever and always."
Ok…that's the end. I know, it was short but I didn't feel the need to go into the reception; it would have been pointless. Plus, in the sequel, you'll read flashbacks about it so I skipped it here.
I skipped their vows too because I would have made it sound stupid. I'm not good when writing about them confessing their feelings- I don't have a way with words like most people do.
Again, look out for the sequel, Live Every Moment, sometime within the month I hope but it's probably going to be a few weeks. I'm going to focus on Father to Daughter.
Thank you to everyone who read and reviewed this story. They mean so much to me, knowing that I'm taking the time out to writing this and people actually like it. I'm sorry if this last chapter sucked. Don't hate me!
