It was 6:30 pm, and Gabriella just got off work. She was heading back to the hotel to help Taylor get ready for her date.

"Hey Taylor!" Gabriella said as soon as she walked into the hotel room. "How was your day?" she asked.

"Complete suckage." Taylor complained.

"Awe…what's wrong?"

"I'm just completely stressed out about my date with Chad tonight. I have no idea how I should do my hair, or my make-up. I'm really not sure what to wear because Chad never told me what we are actually doing."

"Don't worry about that. I'll do your hair and make-up. We still have plenty of time!"

"Actually, we don't. Chad said he's coming to pick me up at 7:30, and it's 6:30 right now."

"Ok, so we don't have a lot of time…let's get going!" Gabriella said as she stood from her chair. Taylor always appreciated Gabriella's optimism in situations like these.

With Troy and Chad

Troy had just gotten back to his hotel room at around 6:45 from work. When he opened the door to his hotel room, Troy found a ghastly sight.

"Awe…sick, Chad!" Troy said as he raised his hand to shield his eyes.

"What?" Chad asked in complete ignorance.

"Man, if you're going to stay here, at least do me a favor, and put a pair of pants on."

"What? You don't think I'm sexy?" Chad said, while stroking his leg.

"Chad, that's disgusting…"

"Alright, I'll put some pants on."

"Don't you have a date with Taylor tonight?"

"Yeah. I'm picking her up at 7:30."

"Aren't you going to get ready? It's 6:50 already."

"I still have plenty of time."

"Whatever you say…"

"Speaking of my date with Taylor tonight, could you vacate the premises at around 8:30?"

"Man, you really think that Taylor is going to-"

"Hey, don't shoot my self-confidence down."

"Whatever, just call me when it's ok to come back."

"Sure." Chad said, while nodding his head.

With Gabriella and Taylor

"I think you should wear the white top, and the shorter skirt." Gabriella said.

"Yeah, but what about this dress?" Taylor was holding up a red dress.

"I think that one is too fancy."

"You think so?"

"Yeah. Just wear the skirt, and this top… and those flats. If the date ends up being casual, or if it's fancy, you're ok."

"Ok, you've convinced me."

"Let me do your make-up before you put your date clothes on."

"Ok." Taylor walked over, and sat in the chair that was in front of the bathroom mirror.

"I love doing make-up. It's the only kind of art that I'm good at." Gabriella said.

"Well, that's a relief. Hey, not to rush you, or anything…but it's 7:29."

"Don't worry. Knowing Chad, he'll be fifteen minutes late..."

Knock, knock, knock

"…or not." Gabriella said. She left Taylor at the mirror, and went to get the door. "Chad! You're on time…how punctual. Taylor's not ready yet."

"Ye-" Chad was interrupted by Gabriella slamming the door in his face.

"Ok. I bought us at least five more minutes." Gabriella said.

Ten minutes later, Taylor was all dressed and ready. "Awe." Gabriella said with a smile. "You look so gorgeous."

"Thanks." Taylor said while hugging Gabriella. "Ok, I think I'm going out there now."

"Ok! Have fun!" Gabriella said. She followed Taylor to the door, and closed it behind her. Gabriella stood there with her face smushed against the door, like she did the previous night, so she could spy on them. "Awe…they're so cute." Gabriella said to herself.

When Chad and Taylor had disappeared from her sight, Gabriella turned around, and looked at her hotel room. After gathering up all of the scattered articles of clothing, she decided to lie down, and watch TV. The only thing that semi-appealing to watch was, "A Walk to Remember."

"I guess this is good enough." Gabriella said to herself.

With Chad and Taylor

Chad had been driving around for around 20 minutes. Taylor was beginning to wonder if Chad was lost.

"Did I tell you that you look beautiful, yet?" Chad asked.

"Yes, you have." Taylor said with a smile.

"Well, you do."

"Thanks. Uh, Chad…do you know where we're going?"

"Yes, why?"

"Because that's the fourth time that we've passed that sign."

"Don't worry, I know where I'm going. We're almost there." Chad said with a smile.

"Ok." Taylor said.

With Troy

Chad had left thirty-five minutes ago, and Troy was bored out of his mind.

"It's only 8:00? Holy crap…I don't think I've ever been this bored. Whatever, I'm getting out of here." Troy picked up his laptop, and drove to the nearest coffee shop. Once he got there, Troy ordered a large cup of hot cocoa. He found a big comfortable chair to sit on, and sipped his cocoa while surfing the net on his computer. (A/N: how exciting…lol)

With Chad and Taylor

"Ok, we're here!" Chad said excitedly.

"Uh, Chad, this is a Target. Are you sure we're here?"

"Yup. Why, do you want to do something else?"

"Chad, I have no idea what we're actually doing."

"Well, trust me then. I promise, it's going to be really fun." They got out of the car, and walked into the store before Chad actually told Taylor what they were doing.

"Ok, Chad what are we gonna do?"

"While we're here, we're going to pick out clothes for each other."

"Huh?"

"I'm going to pick out clothes for you to wear, and you'll pick out clothes for me, then we'll go and try them on. You have to wear what I pick, and the same goes for me. Does that make sense?"

"Sounds like fun!"

"I told you so. Ok, now…GO!" Chad said enthusiastically. With that, Taylor went off to find clothes for Chad. Chad did the same for Taylor.

With Gabriella

It was about 8:15, and Gabriella was getting quite depressed watching "A Walk to Remember". She had nothing else to do, so she kept watching the movie anyways. She felt an overwhelming sense of joy when she heard her cell phone ring.

"Hey Taylor!" Gabriella said excitedly.

"Uh, hi Gabriella. You sound particularly excited."

"Well actually, I'm bored, and really depressed."

"You're depressed?" Taylor asked while filing through the men's clothes at the store.

"Yeah, I'm watching "A Walk to Remember" and it's at the part where they find out that Mandy Moore's character has cancer."

"Oh, that part is depressing."

"Anyways, what are you doing Miss Taylor?"

"Actually, I'm at Target."

"Target? Why?" Taylor told Gabriella all about the activity that she and Chad were doing at Target.

"That sounds like so much fun!" Gabriella said. "You should make Chad wear a bikini top, and high heel shoes."

"Hmm…that sounds like a really good idea." Taylor said deviously. "Ok, Gabriella. I'm gonna let you go."

"Alright Taylor! Seeya!" As soon as she hung up the phone, Gabriella started feeling depressed again. "I don't want to stay around here all night." Gabriella said to herself. She changed into a pair of jeans, and a black t-shirt. Gabriella tied her hair in a ponytail, and slipped on her flip-flops. She decided to walk around the hotel for a while.

With Troy

Troy had finished his cup of hot cocoa, and was tired of messing around on his computer. He pulled out his cell phone, and called Gabriella to see what she was doing.

"Hey, this is Gabriella's cell phone. Leave me a message after the tone, and I'll get back to you later. Beep!" Troy hung up his cell phone. For some reason, he didn't bother leaving a message on Gabriella's phone.

With Chad and Taylor

Chad and Taylor were both in the dressing rooms, trying on what they picked out for each other.

"Jeez, Chad. Could you be anymore color blind?" Taylor said through the dressing room wall. "I mean come on…burnt orange and baby pink?"

"Hey, you didn't do much better. So, are you ready?"

"Yeah."

"Ok, come on out." Chad said. When Taylor opened the door to the dressing room, they both started laughing hysterically at each other. Taylor had picked out bright red cheer leading shorts, a white muscle shirt, and a pair of blue flip-flops that had a big flower on the strap for Chad.

"Wow, Chad. You've got hot legs." Taylor said while giggling.

"See? I knew my legs were sexy." This made Taylor laugh some more. Chad picked out a baby pink tank top, a yellow sweater, and a burnt orange knee length skirt. "Taylor, I must say…you look like the librarian from hell." Chad said in between his laughter. This earned Chad a playful smack in the arm from Taylor.

"Ok, I think you've seen enough."

"Let's get changed, and we get out of here and go to the next part of the date."

"Sounds good to me." Taylor said.

With Gabriella

It was around 8:45 now, and Gabriella was in a lounge chair by the indoor pool. She figured she might as well be bored somewhere else, besides her room. She reached for her cell phone to call Troy, but remembered that she left it in the hotel room. Gabriella didn't feel like walking all the way back up to her room to get it. She looked outside, and noticed that the sun had completely gone down. She got up, and walked outside, next to the outdoor pool. (A/N: Let's just pretend that this hotel has an indoor, and an outdoor pool.) Gabriella was only standing a few feet away from the edge of the pool. She tilted he head back, and looked at all the stars. She stood there for a while, trying to comprehend the vastness of it all. When she brought herself back into reality, Gabriella began for walk around the perimeter of the pool.

"What are you doing?"

"Huh?" Gabriella didn't bother to look at the person who was talking to her. She figured it was one of her fans.

"What are you doing?" Gabriella looked up, and this time a smile came across her face.

"Nothing…just walkin' around. How long have you been standing there?" She kept making her way around the pool.

"I've been watching you the whole time."

"You know Troy, I think that's called stalking." Gabriella said sarcastically.

"Well, you'll get over it." Troy said. He was making his way over to Gabriella.

"Oh really?" Gabriella said.

"Yup."

"Well, I'm glad you make things so simple."

"Life would be a lot harder if I didn't." Troy was almost to Gabriella now.

"I'll have to try that one of these days."

With Chad and Taylor

After they changed back into their normal clothes, Chad and Taylor headed back to the car.

"So what are we going to do now?" Taylor asked after they'd been driving for a few minutes.

"Ok, consider our first adventure the fun part of the evening. Our second adventure is going to be a little more romantic."

"Ooh…that sounds good to me, I like romantic things."

"Ok, we're here." Chad said.

"Really? That was quick."

"Yeah, well…I wasn't lost like I was before." Chad got out of the car, and walked back to the trunk. Taylor followed him.

"Ha! I knew it! I knew you were lost." Taylor said while pointing her finger at Chad.

"Hey, grab that bag of marshmallows, would you?" Chad said. He started to walk away with a big pile of blankets. Taylor wasn't sure where they were. She just followed wherever Chad was going, which was down a sandy path.

"Chad, where are we?"

"At the beach, silly." At that moment, Taylor could see the moonlit ocean. There was a fire going on the shore.

"Oh, Chad. This is so beautiful." Taylor said. Chad walked over to the fire, and put some blankets down in the sand for them to sit on. "Wait, what are the marshmallows for?"

"So we can roast them over the fire." Chad said.

"Sounds fun." Taylor said.

"And delicious." Chad added. Chad handed a stick, and a few marshmallows to Taylor, so she could roast a couple of them. Taylor looked down at the marshmallows in her hand, and decided to throw one.

"Hey, Chad?" As soon as Chad looked over at Taylor, he received a face full of marshmallows.

"Oh, girl…don't get me started." Chad said in a tone that made Taylor laugh.

"Oh yeah?" Taylor threw another one at Chad.

"Ok, I warned you!" Chad started chasing Taylor, who had dropped her stick, ran away laughing. Chad caught Taylor, and started tickling her. She begged for mercy for him to stop, and he did…eventually.

With Troy and Gabriella

"It's such a beautiful night. You can actually see stars." Gabriella said.

"Yeah, that doesn't happen very often in Los Angeles." The two of them were sitting in lounge chairs, looking up at the sky.

"So, Troy, what inspired you to come and stalk me?"

"Um…I was just really bored."

"Really? I bored out of my mind, too."

"Well, isn't that a coincidence?"

"I'd say so." Gabriella got up, and walked over by the swimming pool. Just then, a devious thought popped into her head. "Hey, Troy…come here."

"Why don't you come here? I'm perfectly comfortable where I am."

"Please come here? I want to show you something." She said sweetly.

"Fine." He walked over to Gabriella. "What is it?"

"THIS!!" Just then, she pushed Troy into the pool. He grabbed Gabriella's wrist at the same time, causing her to fall in, too. Troy came to the surface of the water laughing his head off.

"You know, I half expected you to do that." Troy said while laughing.

"Oh yeah? Well, you're in big trouble, mister." Gabriella was shivering from the cold water. Gabriella swam to the side of the pool.

"Wait, why am I in trouble?"

"Because you pulled me into the pool."

"You pushed me."

"I guess you have a point there." Gabriella started laughing, too.

With Chad and Taylor

After Chad stopped tickling Taylor, they decided to actually roast the marshmallows this time. Chad was roasting them like a pro. Taylor, on the other hand, wasn't having such luck.

"Ah! It's on fire again! Blow it out Chad!" Taylor said while waving her flaming marshmallow around.

"Taylor, that's the fifth marshmallow you've burned to a crisp. Why don't you make yourself comfortable on those blankets, and I'll bring you a perfectly toasted one."

"Ok…sounds good to me." Taylor went, and sat down on the blankets, waiting for Chad to sit next to her. "Are you done yet?"

"Nope. These kinds of things take time." After he finished with the marshmallow, Chad handed it to Taylor, still on the stick.

"Are you going to sit next to me?" Taylor asked.

"Sure." Chad said with a smile.

"Good." Taylor returned the smile. After Chad sat next to her, she began to eat the marshmallow. "Mmm…I must say, you are the marshmallow roasting master."

"Well thank you." Chad said. He scooted closer to Taylor. "You have a little bit of marshmallow on your lip." Chad placed his hand on the side of Taylor's face, and cleaned the marshmallow off with his thumb. He kept caressing her lip for a moment. Then, Chad moved in to kiss Taylor. She closed her eyes in preparation for the moment. As soon as their lips touched, it sent sparks through their bodies.

"Wow." Taylor said after she broke away.

"Was that a good wow, or a bad wow?" Chad asked.

"A good wow…a very good wow." Taylor said.

"Well good, I'm gl-" Chad was interrupted again. This time, by Taylor's lips.

With Troy and Gabriella

"So tell me something, Gabriella."

"What?"

"Why did you push me into the pool?" Troy and Gabriella were still floating around in the pool.

"I dunno…I felt like, I guess. Why did you pull me in?"

"I figured that if I was going down, I might as well take you with me."

"Well, I'm really cold now. I'm getting out." Gabriella said as she swam to the steps of the pool.

"Ok, I guess I should get out, too." Troy said. He followed Gabriella out of the pool.

"Oh, man…I'm freezing!" Gabriella said as she was wringing the water out of her hair.

"Here." Troy went a got a towel off of the shelf, and wrapped it around Gabriella.

"Thanks." She said with a smile.

"Wow…your lips a blue!" Troy said. "You must be really cold." Troy started rubbing Gabriella's sides and back, trying to warm her up. After a little while, Troy just brought Gabriella into a hug. She smiled when this happened.

"I just can't get over the stars." Gabriella said in a calm, soothing voice. "They're so beautiful."

"They're not as beautiful as your eyes." Troy said. Gabriella stopped looking at the stars when Troy said this. She looked hard into his eyes to try and tell what he was thinking. At that moment, she knew that Troy loved her as much as she loved him. Gabriella stood up on her toes, and just kissed Troy. This caught Troy by surprise.

"Whoa…what are you doing?" Troy said.

"Uh…I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that. Wow... I feel stupid now. I mean, Why would you-"

"Gabi, would you shut up?" Troy moved in, and kissed her passionately. Gabriella was instantly warmed up, and deepened the kiss. The best part was, there were no interruptions…finally.

I told you that you'd like this chapter! Was I right? Huh, Huh, Huh?

Well, just because they kissed, doesn't mean that the story is over. I still have a few curveballs up my sleeve.
