Dedicated to someone who's using a picture I took of him as his main one on myspace, and not a picture of him and his current girlfriend. I'm tempted to tell his girlfriend who took the picture, but I'm too nice :P

If you believe we own Hotel Albuquerque, you are very mistaken.

"I wonder how the hearing went today." Gabriella spoke up as she mounted the stairs of the apartment building.

"I don't know. I feel bad that we couldn't be there today." Kelsi sighed.

"We had a last minute wedding to put on. At least Ryan was able to be there for her." Sharpay said as she used Zeke's key to open the boys' apartment, "Besides, what could go wrong? I'm sure it went fine... I mean we won't find out for a few weeks, but – " Sharpay stopped and pointed at the couch where Ryan was laying asleep, Abby beside him in his arms, curled up and relaxed for the first time in months.

Hotel Albuquerque at Old Town

10:00 AM

"Hello?" Abby asked nervously as she picked up her phone. She crossed her fingers as Ryan put his hand over her hand that wasn't holding the phone. He crossed his fingers on his other hand too. She put it on speaker phone so they could both hear.

"Ms. Kubin?" Asked the manly voice of Mr. Smith.

"Yes? This is she." Abby replied closing her eyes. Desperately hoping he was going to say what she hoped he would. Ryan moved his hand and she started pulling on her hair slightly as she waited for Mr. Smith to respond. Ryan swatted her hand away from her hair. Sharpay would kill the both of them if it was messed up now.

"Excuse me, I mean Ms. Raglin." Mr. Smith replied. Abby could swear she could hear his smile through the phone.

"Thank you so much Mr. Smith!" She said to her divorce lawyer as she started to cry out of happiness.

"You are very welcome. I'll let you go celebrate now. Goodbye."

Abby threw her phone down on the grass and hugged Ryan tightly as he spun her around.

"I'm so happy! I don't remember ever being this happy." She said as he put her down.

"I don't think I ever have either." Ryan replied before capturing her lips.

"Hey! Don't you dare mess up her makeup and hair!" Yelled Sharpay as she walked towards the two of them. They broke apart smiling widely.

"I'm free though Sharpay!" Abby replied pulling herself out of Ryan's arms and hugging Sharpay.

"That is no reason to ruin hair! This is Gabi's wedding day and I'll make sure EVERYTHING is perfect!"

"I've got to tell Gabi!" Abby said before running off with Ryan chasing after her. Sharpay noticed her phone on the ground and smiled picking it up.

Gabriella sat nervously as Kelsi attempted to do her makeup. They all knew Sharpay would redo it anyway so Kelsi wasn't putting much effort into it.

"Gabi!" Abby yelled as she ran into the room excitedly, "I'm freeee!!" She sang as Gabriella also got up and jumped around with her.

"What happened to your makeup!?" Sharpay screeched as she came into the room too.

"Sorry, Shar." Both girls apologized.

"Oh, I need to call Daddy to tell him that the divorce is final... where's my cell?" Abby muttered searching her purse as Sharpay took over fixing the bride.

"Oh you dropped it, here." Sharpay tossed Abby her cell, newly rhinestoned.

"Wha-- what did you do to it?!"

"I made it better!"

"Oh no, you even Sharpay-afied my bunny charm!" Abby sadly said, seeing rhinestones on the small charm that hung from her phone. "By the way, I hate you." She snapped at Sharpay as she walked out of the room to a more private area.

"Love ya too!" Sharpay replied laughing.

Abby got off the phone with her dad about ten minutes later and as she was walking through the expansive lobby of the hotel back to see Gabriella, she noticed Troy pacing.

"Troy?" She asked as he also seemed to be muttering.

"Huh?" He asked and came to a stop to stare at her.

"You good?" She asked putting a comforting hand on his shoulder.

"Uh, yeah...I think." He replied and stared at his hands for a few seconds before looking at her panicked "What if I'm a horrible husband?"

"Troy there are about ten men in this world that I trust anymore, and you're in my top five. Trust me, you'll be fine. If you abuse her in anyway though, I'll have Sharpay get out the bat." Abby replied putting her other hand on his other shoulder as he stared back at her in shock.

"You trust me that much?" He replied smiling widely.

"Yes I do. Especially since you're not drunk at the moment. That's really helping you." She replied smiling rather sadly.

"Thanks Abby." He replied and hugged her. "I'm sorry that we didn't see what was going on."

"It's not your fault, it's mine." She replied hugging him back. He shook his head.

"I heard the divorce is final. Congrats." He replied not even willing to try to fight her on the fact it wasn't completely her fault. They had all tried to convince her that it wasn't her fault so many times.

"Thanks, I'm pretty jazzed about it." Abby replied as she broke away from the hug. "Well I've got to go find a bride and convince her that her groom isn't running away."

"What? She thinks I'm leaving her!? Why would I do that! Tell her I'm not!" Troy responded quickly and panicked.

"She's not thinking that, don't worry. I was just curious as to how freaked out you would get. You were better than my expectations." Abby replied and patted his shoulder and straightened his tux jacket. He sighed loudly then glared at Abby. "Don't worry I plan on telling her she's picked one of the best guys ever."

"I'm going to leave you before you freak me out again." Troy responded and walked away, rolling his eyes.

"Where's the love Troy?" Abby replied laughing as she started back towards Gabriella's room that had been reserved for her to get ready in.

"Gabi?" She asked as she came into the room that was slowly emptying of her female relatives.

"Yeah?" Gabi responded, standing up out of the chair where Sharpay had been doing her hair and makeup.

"Oh my goodness! You look beautiful!" Abby squealed happily.

"I do do great work, huh?" Sharpay replied smiling as both Gabriella and Abby rolled their eyes.

"I have something I want to tell you." Abby said grabbing Gabriella's hands as she came to stand in front of her. "You have one extremely nervous groom out there who isn't drunk, isn't cheating on you, or anywhere near calm. I very successfully freaked him out. It was extremely fun. You picked an excellent guy, congrats." She said smiling as she watched tears appear in Gabriella's eyes.

"Thanks Abby." She replied and hugged her best friend.

"For what? Freaking out your husband-to-be?" Abby replied laughing, but hugging back all the same.

"For being so supportive. It means so much to me!" Gabriella replied.

"Don't you dare start crying Gabriella Montez!" Sharpay warned in a low voice that made both Gabriella and Abby laugh.

"Well, I hear the music starting, and your dad is waiting to give you away." Abby smiled, pointing at the door where Mr. Montez was standing, smiling at his baby girl proudly.

Gabriella smiled at him and walked over to him.

"I can't believe my little Kodachrome is--"

"Daddy." Gabriella rolled her eyes, smiling.

"Don't you dare cry and ruin your makeup!" Sharpay warned, rushing by, and down the aisle.

"Ready for this?" Mr. Montez asked.

Gabriella smiled and nodded. She took an excited breath, hoping to calm the butterflies in her stomach as she took her father's arm and they began down the aisle to the wedding march. Her eyes met Troy's and she blushed, never looking away.

I can't believe it's already over! Big thanks to all of the reviewers!

Ooh, so story time…. Gabriella's wedding is at Hotel of Albuquerque at Old Town because, 1) It's the fanciest hotel in Albuquerque according to natives (aka Star's mom's friend from when she was little) and 2) because Star got to stay there when the Best Western she and her family was suppose to be staying at had a huge plumbing problem (pipes exploded, it wasn't pretty… whole motel shut down) and they paid for them to get to stay at the hotel, which is about 250 a night per person…. It was freakin' awesome!! Keep in mind Albuquerque also has a Hilton…lol (sorry…. Had to share that story! I'll have pictures to share later).

Third in the Last Christmas/Band of Gold trilogy is up now! It's called Bad Moon Rising (yes, based on another song). We promise there will be more Troy/Gabriella… not much more, we have issues writing the lovey dovey stuff.
