Ok, this chapter picks up a week after Troy and Gabriella's fight. And, if you thought the last chapter was long, this one is like swimming from Cuba to Miami, Florida…really, really long...ok, maybe not that long.
Disclaimer: I don't own HSM. I do own the plot.
A week had gone by, and Gabriella hadn't brought up the subject of Troy's parents again. She didn't want to risk getting into another big fight. But, Taylor kept pressuring Gabriella to get started planning the wedding.
"So, Gabriella. Have you picked a date yet?" Taylor asked. It was a Thursday night after they had finished all of their classes for the day, and didn't have any for the rest of the weekend. The two of them were watching "Pirates of the Caribbean."
"No, not yet. I haven't talked to Troy about the wedding at all since we got in that fight last week."
"Why not?" Taylor asked.
"I don't want to get in another stupid fight. You know how much I hate fighting."
"Yeah, but your really good at it."
"Thanks…I guess." Gabriella said.
"I think you should call him."
"Yeah, but I don't want to lose him. If I pressure him too much, I'm afraid that he'll try to bolt away."
"I don't think he would. I know how much he loves you. Actually, everyone knows how much he loves you. You guys won't break up over this."
"Do you really think so?"
"I know so." Taylor picked up the phone, and handed it to Gabriella. "Here, call Lover-Boy."
"Ok." Gabriella dialed Troy's cell phone number.
"Hello?"
"Hey, Troy." Gabriella said. She heard many background noises over the phone. "Where are you?"
"Oh, I'm just walking around. What's up, Gabi?"
"Yeah, um…as much as I hate to bring it up, I think we need to talk about the wedding…and stuff."
"Yeah, about that…" Troy said. There was a knock at the door before Gabriella could respond.
Knock, knock, knock
"I'll get it." Gabriella said to Taylor. She got up, and opened the door, with the phone still to her ear. She gasped to see who it was.
"I'm sorry, Gabi." Even though they were standing right in front of each other now, Troy and Gabriella still had their phones to their ears. "I never should have yelled at you last week. I was such a jerk to storm out on you like that, too. You're right, our marriage will never work of we don't communicate."
"So, you still want to get married?"
"Of course! Gabriella, our wedding day couldn't come soon enough." With that, Troy walked away from the door, leaving Gabriella confused.
"Wait, where are you going?" She said to him through the phone.
"I got you a little something." Troy walked back to the door with a large bouquet of pink daisies in his hand.
"Oh, Troy! You remembered!" She gave Troy a huge hug. Pink daisies were Gabriella's absolute favorite flower. She could only remember telling that to Troy once before.
Flashback
It was Gabriella's first Valentine's Day at East High. Gabriella was sitting with Troy in the auditorium at school, waiting for musical practice to startTroy and Gabriella weren't a couple yet.) Sharpay was talking to one of her many boyfriends.
"Wow…Sharpay's boyfriend brought her flowers. How original for Valentine's Day. His name is Steven, right?" Troy asked.
"No, Steven was her boyfriend last week. I think this one's name is Blake…or is it David? I can't remember." Gabriella said while shrugging her shoulders. "Awe…" Gabriella cooed at the flowers Sharpay had been given. "Pink daisies are my favorite."
"Really?" Troy said with a surprising interest.
"Yeah. Before we moved here to Albuquerque, we had a garden full of pink daisies in our backyard. My mom would always let me water them, and take care of them. Once in a while, she'd let me cut a few flowers from the patch. I'd keep them in an old glass cup on my window sill."
End Flashback"They're beautiful, Troy!"
"I'm glad you like them. So…apology accepted?"
"Of course." Gabriella said. She stood up on her toes, and gave Troy a soft, but meaningful kiss.
"Awe!!! You two are sooo cute!" Taylor said. She had been watching the whole scene. "You two are going-"
"Please don't start with that baby talk again." Troy begged. Taylor started to laugh.
"For your information, that wasn't what I was going to say…" Troy gave Taylor a questioning look. "Ok, so maybe it was…shut up!" Now it was Troy's turn to laugh.
"Ok, so you don't have any classes tomorrow, right?" Troy asked Gabriella.
"No…why?"
"I thought we could take a little trip."
"A trip? Troy, what are you talking about?"
"How would you feel about going to Albuquerque for the weekend…" Troy broke his eye contact with Gabriella. "…so we could tell my parents about the engagement."
"Troy," She made sure to have Troy's complete attention before continuing, "Troy, I would love to go back home with you tomorrow."
"Good, because I already bought the plane tickets." Troy said with a smile. "Ok, I'll leave you to your packing." Troy gave Gabriella a peck on the lips before heading for the door.
"Ok! Bye!" Gabriella said in a peppy voice.
"Bye the way, the flight leaves a 5:30 am."
"5:30?" Gabriella wasn't so peppy this time. With that, Troy left Gabriella's apartment.
4:00 am
Knock, knock, knock
"Gabriella?" Troy said through the door after waiting a few seconds.
Knock, knock, knock
"Gabi…come on, it's time to go."
Knock, knock, knock
"Come on, Gabi. We're going to miss our flight." Gabriella answered the door with a grumble.
"Ugh…" Gabriella mumbled.
"Good morning, sweetie." Troy was fully awake. Gabriella obviously wasn't.
Gabriella grumble more monotonous tones.
"Ok, then." Troy walked into Gabriella's apartment, and grabbed her bags. "Holy crap, Gabriella. Where only going to be gone for a few days! You packed for a week." Troy walked out Gabriella's apartment to put her bags in his car. Gabriella stumbled behind him.
By the time that they boarded the plane, Gabriella had mostly woken up.
"Goodness, Troy." Gabriella yawned. "Why did you pick such an early flight?"
"Because this was the cheapest flight that was available for today." Troy was getting really tense.
"Babe, are you ok?" Gabriella was completely relaxed. Troy, on the other hand, was breathing quite hard.
"Yeah, I'm fine." The plane was rolling down the runway, and about to take off in the air. Troy started tapping his fingers on the armrest, and his knee was violently shaking up and down. "Oh I hate this. I hate this. I hate this." Troy grabbed Gabriella's hand, and squeezed it.
"Ow, Troy, that's my hand. If you keep squeezing it that hard, I won't be able to use it anymore." Gabriella said calmly.
"I hate taking off. It feels like were going to crash." Troy was still had his 'kung-fu' grip on Gabriella's hand.
"Everything will be fine, I promise." By this time, the plane was flying smoothly. "See? All better."
"Yeah." For the rest of the flight, Troy had his arm around Gabriella, and she was leaning against him.
Troy and Gabriella landed in Albuquerque at around 1:00 pm. In order to save money, they decided to stay with Gabriella's mom.
Knock, knock, knock
"Mom!" Once Gabriella's mom, opened the door, they instantly embraced.
"Nena! I've missed you!" They hugged for a while, then Gloria noticed Troy standing there. "Oh! Troy! Come here!" He gave him a hug, too.
"It's nice to see you again, Ms. Montez."
"Oh, please. Don't call me that. You'll make me feel old. Just call me Gloria."
"Alright."
"Oh! Where are my manners! Please, come in! I'm sure you two are tired from the flight." Gloria stepped out of the way to let Gabriella and Troy in the house."Ok, guys, I'm sorry to leave right as you're getting here, but I have to go to work. I probably won't be home until 8:00. Gabriella, I figured you could stay in your old room. And, Troy, I made up the guest room for you. Gabriella can show you where it is. Make yourselves at home! Bye!"
"Bye, Mom! Seeya later!" Troy carried all of the bags up to Gabriella's room. She followed him.
"It's really nice of your mom to let us stay here." Troy said after he put all of the bags down.
"I'll make sure and tell her you said that." Gabriella said. She walked towards Troy, and placed her arms around his neck. She gave him a kiss. "So what time do you want to go over to your parents' house?" Gabriella asked.
"Let's see. It's 1:30 now, and my dad gets off of work at 4:00, for let's get there around 4:30."
"Sounds great." Gabriella said. Troy bent down, and gave Gabriella a kiss. This time, more passionate than before. "Do you want me to show you where your room is?"
"Sure." Troy said. Troy let go of Gabriella, and picked up his bags.
"It's so far away from my room. I don't know how I'm going to sleep, knowing that you're all the way on the other side of the house." Gabriella said.
"Really?" Troy said in a sad tone. Gabriella walked outside of her room, and waited for Troy.
"Here it is!"
"Huh?" Gabriella was pointing at the door across the way from her room. "Well, that's nice." Troy said.
"Yeah, I was poking fun at you…sorry." Troy walked in the room, and dropped his bags on the ground. He walked over to the bed, and sat on the edge. She was leaning against the doorframe, smiling at him. He stared at her for a few moments.
"Hey, you…come here." Troy said. Gabriella looked around the room, then pointed at herself with raised eyebrows. "Yes you…come here." He said again.
"I don't know…my mom told me not to talk to strangers." Gabriella said sarcastically while walking towards Troy, and stood right in front of him. Troy placed his hands on Gabriella's hips, while she ran her hand through his hair.
"I think you can make an exception this time." Troy instantly pulled Gabriella onto the bed, got on top of her, and started tickling her.
"Ah!! Troy! Stop!" Gabriella was laughing so hard that her face was turning red. "Troy!! Ah!! Mercy! Mercy!"
"Alright, alright…I'll let you go this time." Troy said.
"Hey, who ever said I wanted you to let me go?" Gabriella said. She placed a hand on the back of Troy's neck, and brought his head close to hers. Gabriella kissed him passionately, which he happily returned. She allowed her hands to wander through his hair, and across his back. They continued making out for a half an hour.
"Alright," Troy said after he broke away.
"What?"
"As much as regret saying this, we should probably start getting ready to go meet my parents." Troy said.
"What time is it?" (A/N:…Summer time! It's our vacation. What time is it? Party time, that's right say is loud…jk)
"It's around 2:30. Now, get out so I can take a shower."
"What kind of clothes should I wear?" Gabriella asked.
"I don't know, Gabriella. Nice ones?" Just then, Troy took in shirt off. Gabriella just stared at him."What?"
"Man! You are really hot."
"Gee, thanks." Gabriella walked up to him, and gave him one last kiss before leaving him room.
Troy waited for Gabriella to finish getting ready. Like always, she was making him wait just to torture him.
"Gabriella! Get your butt down here! It's 4:50 already!"
"Alright, alright…jeez." She said while coming down the stairs.
"Finally! Let's go." Since they only lived down the street, Troy and Gabriella decided to walk to Troy's parents' house. Troy zoomed down the sidewalk, pulling Gabriella behind him. Once they got there, Troy froze in front of the door.
"Well, aren't you going to ring the bell?"
"No."
"Why not?" Gabriella asked.
"Did I tell you that you look very beautiful yet?"
"Troy, shut up…ring the door bell." He stood there, not moving. "Fine, I'll ring it. Here we go!"
Ding dong
"Oh man!" Troy said nervously.
"Troy, relax! Everything will be alright." Just then, Jack Bolton answered the door. "Oh man!" This time, Gabriella was nervous.
