thanks as always for the reviews!! and, i still don't own anything except for natalie and the plot of this story. enjoy!!

Ryan, Natalie, and Sharpay arrived at Natalie's house. She explained the situation to her mom and her mom said that it was perfectly fine if they stayed.

"OK, so you can sleep on the guest bedroom or on the floor of my room, kind like a sleepover, if you want to. Your choice." Natalie told Ryan and Sharpay as they headed upstairs.

"This may sound weird, but I wanna sleep in your room on the floor." Sharpay told her friend.

"Yeah, same here." Ryan agreed.

"OK. Let's go there then. Natalie said as she led them to her room. Once they got there, Ryan and Sharpay sat their stuff down while Natalie went to go find sleeping bags. When Natalie got back, she laid three sleeping bags on the floor.

"Uh, why are there three sleeping bags?" Ryan asked his girlfriend.

"Well, if y'all are gonna sleep on the floor, so will I." Natalie replied.

"OK." Sharpay said in response to what Natalie had just said.

After they got everything situated, Ryan went to take a shower while Natalie and Sharpay sat around and talked. A few minutes later, Ryan returned and Sharpay went to go take her shower. Natalie was letting her guests go first. Ryan and Natalie were sitting around talking while Sharpay was in the shower, when Natalie's computer beeped. It was an IM from Troy.

hoopsdude117: hey, how are ryan and shar?

singersmartz1107: they're good. you wanna talk to ry?

hoopsdude117: sure

singersmartz1107: hey dude.

hoopsdude117: hey. how are you and shar holding up?

singermsartz1107: we're fine. shar's doing a lot better. I think being away from our house and stuff that reminds her of mom has helped.

hoopsdude117: is she there where i can talk to her?

singersmartz1107: no. she's in the shower

hoopsdude117: ok.

hoopsdude117: are you two coming back to school Monday?

Right then, Sharpay came back. She saw Natalie and Ryan huddled around the computer.

"What are you doing?" Sharpay asked, which startled her brother and friend. They hadn't heard her come in.

"We were talking to Troy." Ryan replied.

"He said hey." Natalie told her just like Troy had said.

"OK. Can I talk to him?" Sharpay asked.

"Sorry, he just logged off." Ryan told his sister.

"Oh." Sharpay said, sounding kind of disappointed.

"Well, I'm gonna go take my shower. Y'all can just listen to music or watch TV or whatever." Natalie told her friends as she stood up and headed towards the bathroom.

"OK." Ryan replied.

As Natalie left, Ryan and Sharpay noticed that Gabriella had logged on, so they decided to talk to her.

singersmartz1107: hey! it's ry and shar

brainiacsingergurl: hey. why are you on nat's SN?

singersmartz1107: we're at her house.

Monday- School

The day went by pretty fast and it was now time for rehearsal- the gang's favorite part of the day. Because Ryan and Sharpay had missed a day of rehearsal, they were behind. Ryan and Natalie learned the last part of the choreography for "What I've Been Looking For" and then went to learn songs with Kelsi.

Troy and Sharpay were also working on songs with Kelsi. They were working on "I Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You". Of course, Troy and Sharpay already knew it pretty well since they had sang it for callbacks, but Ryan and Natalie had to completely learn it. But, fortunately, by the end of practice, they had all completely learned it pretty well.

After rehearsals, Troy left and headed toward his house after giving Sharpay a hug and a kiss. Natalie, Ryan, and Sharpay all headed toward Natalie's house. On the way home, they stopped at Sonic to eat.

When they finally got to Natalie's house, they all three headed up to her room. Ryan went to go take his shower while Natalie and Sharpay got on the computer(they loved the computer if you haven't already figured that out). Troy was on so, of course, they decided to talk to him.

singersmartz1107: hey! it's nat and shar

hoopsdude117: hey. is ryan there?

singersmartz1107: he's in the shower right now. why?

hoopsdude117: I need to tell you something, but I'm not tell you till ryan gets here.

singersmartz1107: is it a really awesome something that you're gonna tell us?

hoopsdude117: yeah.

singersmartz1107: ok, hold on, I'll be right back. talk to shar

hoopsdude117: ok.

singersmartz1107: hey troy

hoopsdude117: hey. where'd she go?

singersmartz1107: I have no idea.

Natalie got up from the computer and walked down the hall towards the bathroom. It had been about fifteen minutes since Ryan had left to take his shower. He had to be done by now, right? When she got to the bathroom, she started banging on the door and yelling at Ryan through the door.

"RYAN!! GET YOUR BUTT OUT HERE!! HURRY UP!! TROY WANTS TO TELL US SOM-"

In the middle of her banging and yelling, Ryan had opened the door and Natalie had smacked him in the head.

"Ow." Ryan said, rubbing his head.

"Oh my gosh. I'm sorry." She kissed him where she had hit him. "Better?"

"Yes. Now, what were you yelling at me?" Ryan asked as they started to walk down the hall.

"Troy's on the computer and is gonna tell us something, but won't tell us until all three of us are there, so I came to get you." She said all in one breath

"OK then. Let's go." Ryan said as they walked the rest of the way down the hall.

singersmartz1107: um, I think I know where nat went.

hoopsdude117: where?

singersmartz1107: well, I heard banging and "ryan! get ur butt out here!" so I guess she went to get ryan.

hoopsdude1107: lol. ok

singersmartz1107: oh, here they are! I was right! ok, well, we're all here, so spill

hoopsdude117: ok. oh, hey ryan

singersmartz1107: hey. so what did I get drug out of the bathroom to hear? (if you can't figure it out, this is ryan speaking)

hoopsdude117: well, over winter break, my family and I are going skiing.

singersmartz1107: ok…why did I get drug out of the bathroom to hear this? (this is still ryan)

hoopsdude117: well, because all three of u are invited

singersmartz1107: omg! are you serious?! (this is Sharpay now)

hoopsdude117: yep. we'll have one cabin and my parents have the one next to ours.

singersmartz1107: that's awesome! can't wait! (now it's Natalie)

hoopsdude117: yeah, well, I g2g. see u guys later. bye

singersmartz1107: ok bye

"This is awesome! We're going skiing! I've never been skiing before." Natalie said as she also logged off.

"Are you serious?" Ryan asked her.

"Yeah."

"Well, you'll have tons of fun!" Sharpay told her.

"Yeah!"
