A/N: Sorry it took me so long to update! Stupid fanfiction wouldn't let me update my story, plus I had a slight case of writer's block…and, I'm not exactly sure how boys actually talk to each other. This chappie is going to be another telephone conversation…but it's important…I think.

Disclaimer: I don't own High School Musical.

When he got back to his hotel room, after dropping Gabriella off, Troy decided to call his "old buddy" again.

"Hey, Chad! How's it going?"

"Zeke! I haven't talked to you in ages!!"

"Zeke?!" Troy was very confused "Dude! This isn't Zeke!" Troy was getting annoyed with Chad lack of awareness.

"Who is this then?" Chad honestly didn't know whom he was talking to.

"Oh, my gosh! Dude! I just spoke to you two days ago!"

"Troy?"

"No, it's you in twenty years from now…yes it's Troy."

"Sorry."

"Jeez, you can be really dense sometimes."

"What's got you so wound up? …and 'Chad Danforth' can not be you answer."

"I don't know, man."

"Come on, you can tell me." Chad had a sincere voice despite Troy's slight dig at him.

"Well, how much time do you have?" Troy asked.

"Why?"

"Because this could take a while."

"For my best friend, take as much time as you need…"

After Troy left, Gabriella decided she deserved some much needed 'girl talk'. She needed someone to help her sort through all of her thoughts and feelings.

"Hey Tay, what are you up to right now?"

"Um, nothing really. I'm just watching T.V."

"Oh good, you're not doing anything important."

"No, why?"

"Well-"

"Oor…more drama?" Taylor asked excitedly.

"I guess you could call it that."

"Well, hop to it! Go ahead and spill those 'drama beans'."

"Gee, Taylor, could you be anymore demanding?" Gabriella had a sarcastic tone in her voice.

"I'm sorry! It's just been so boring around here." Gabriella took a 'dramatic pause' before speaking. "…Well, go on!"

"Alright, alright!" Gabriella said.

"…and I just stood there holding her as she cried. For any other guy, it would've been a total 'yawn-fest', but I loved every second of it."

"Wait a minute, let me get this right. You loved Gabriella using you as a human tissue?"

"Yes. I loved gently running my fingers through her hair, and softly stroking her back. I loved being the one who held her up in her time of need."

"I know this is a 'tender moment', but Troy, you're starting to sound a bit 'flash'." Chad said.

"Hey, don't bring me down, just because you don't have a girlfriend." Troy said jokingly.

"Ouch, man. You cut me deep with that one." Chad replied sarcastically.

"Yeah, well, I try."

"…so then I just broke down and started crying."

"Like one tear…or-"

"Let's just say I could have opened my own water park."

"It was that bad?" Taylor asked.

"Pretty much. I'm actually surprised Troy didn't get washed away."

"Speaking of Troy, what was he doing while you were a lawn sprinkler?"

"He was holding me." Gabriella had a smile on her face.

"Awe, that's so cute!"

"Taylor, you have no idea how good it felt. As soon as he touched me, it felt like a lot of my stress had gone away."

"Aw, Gabriella-" Taylor was beginning to not feel so worried about Gabriella.

"Holy crap! You almost kissed her?" Chad exclaimed.

"Yeah, I did. And then my assistant walked in, right as I was leaning in." Troy said.

"That's rough. I'm sorry man."

"Me, too." Troy said with a sigh. "Stupid Angie." He muttered under his breath like a 7 year old.

"Who's Angie?"

"My assistant."

"Why did you just call her stupid?"

"I wasn't calling her stupid, per say. I was calling the situation stupid."

"Yeah, suuure." Chad teased.

"And then, I could've sworn Troy was leaning in to kiss me."

"OMG! How was it? Was there still a spark there? And after seven years…oh, that's so romantic." Taylor said with a smile. She sounded like she was floating.

"What's romantic?"

"The kiss that you and Troy had."

"Taylor, what are you talking about? I never kissed Troy."

"You didn't kiss Troy? Did you just say…? Well, what happened?" Taylor was a little confused.

"Troy's skittish assistant walked in on us."

"Awe, Gabriella, I'm sorry."

"I'm not." Gabriella said.

"You're not? Why not?"

"I think it would have been more awkward if we had kissed."

"Huh?"

"Instead of blushing afterward, and having an awkward conversation about it, we shared a laugh."

"So, you're saying you'd rather laugh with Troy, than kiss him?" Taylor was having a hard time believing Gabriella.

"Well, sort of. Heaven knows I wouldn't mind kissing Troy Bolton. But for the sake of our relationship, I think it's more important to become friends again." Gabriella wasn't sure if she believed herself, either.

"So, you don't have those sort of feelings for him?"

"What sort of feelings are you talking about?"

"What I'm trying to say is, you don't have any 'boyfriend, girlfriend' feelings?"

"No."

"Are you sure? Because, you don't sound sure." Taylor was trying to get Gabriella to admit her feelings.

"Taylor…" She said with a sigh. "I don't know…"

"-I told her to call me Captain from now on." Troy said.

"Captain? I must say Troy, that's a little weird." Chad said.

"Well, it wasn't at the time."

"Whatever, Captain."

"Hey, you're not allowed to call me Captain."

"Yes, Captain."

"Chad!"

"Sorry, Captain."

"Would you shut up?" Said an annoyed Troy.

"-then I said, 'Aye, aye, Captain!'. After that he told me told me to call him Captain…or Commander-in-Chief."

"That's so cute, Gabriella." Taylor started to laugh. "Ha-ha…Commander-in-chief." She had a smile on her face.

"We had a really sweet goodbye." Gabriella further elaborated.

"I'm happy, Taylor. For the first time in a very long time, I'm genuinely happy."

"That's good." Taylor said.

"You should see me, I'm actually smiling."

"It sounds like you're in love." Taylor knew she was finally getting to the truth.

"Huh…I don't know, maybe I am." Gabriella had an even bigger smile on.

"Chad, I don't know what I'm feeling when I'm with Gabriella."

"Do you think you're having doubts?"

"No, it's just not the same as when we were in high school."

"What do you mean?"

"It's better."
