The next few weeks, the gang spent most of their time at play rehearsals. Opening night was approaching quickly and they had practices before school and after school. Ryan and Sharpay were still staying with Natalie. They had sold their house, with Natalie's mom's help, and had basically moved in with Natalie. The Summer family was like a second family to them.

It is now December 7th, two days before opening night if "High School Musical".

"OK students, that looked great. We have one more day to perfect it, and then, it's showtime! Practice is now over." Ms. Darbus said as the students finished "We're All In This Together" and then headed off the stage.

"Wow. I can't believe there's only one more day till the first show." Natalie said as she grabbed her stuff.

"I know! I'm so excited! I love performing!" Sharpay said, squealing with excitement.

"Yes, we know Sharpay. Well, anyway, I'm starving. Het's got get something to eat." Troy suggested.

"Yeah." Ryan agreed.

They went out to eat and then headed home, extremely tired. They had been at school at 7:30 am until 6:00 that night, since they had drama before and after school. Since they had Ms. Darbus first period, they didn't have to come as early, because they could just practice until first period was over.


Natalie's house, that night

"Only ten more days!!" Sharpay said, obviously excited.

"Till what?" Ryan asked his sister.

"The ski trip. Duh!" Sharpay said.

"Oh yeah! I can't wait!" Natalie said.

"I know! It's gonna be so awesome with all four of us there." Sharpay added.

"Like, oh my gosh, it's gonna be, like, so much fun!" Ryan said, imitating the girls. Well, trying to anyway, while the girls just laughed at him.

"You know what Ry? You would make a really good girl." Sharpay said.

"Huh?" Ryan asked, confused.

"Yeah." Natalie said as she then whispered something to Sharpay.

"Ooh, that's a good idea." Sharpay said.

"Wh-what's a good idea?" Ryan asked, worried about what the girls were talking. It was his girlfriend and his sister after all.

"Oh nothing." Natalie said as she went to go get something.

"Where's she going?" Ryan asked his sister, who was still sitting there.

"Somewhere." Sharpay replied as Natalie came back with duct tape and a bag full of make-up.

"What's that for?" Ryan asked, now really nervous of what was going on.

"Nothing." Natalie said as Ryan started to back away as the girls came toward him with the duct tape.

"Grab him!" Sharpay said as she and Natalie jumped on him and taped him to a chair.

"Sit still!" Natalie said. It was now ten minutes later, and the girls had covered him in make-up.

"There. Now, lip gloss." Sharpay said, pulling out some lip gloss.

"NO!" Ryan protested.

"YES!" Natalie said back. They finally put the lip gloss on him, after much protesting, and then Natalie's computer beeped. It was an IM from Troy.

hoopsdude117: hey. whats up?

singersmartz1107: me and shar are making ry look like a girl.

hoopsdude117: oh. can I see a picture of that?

signersmartz1107: yeah, hold on a minute.

Natalie went to go grab her camera.

"Troy wants to see a pic of Ry as a girl." Natalie said when she came back with her camera.

"OK." Sharpay said as she stepped out of the way.

"NO!" Ryan protested.

"Too late. I already took the pic." Natalie said as she put the picture on her computer and sent it to Troy.

hoopsdude117: wow. lol. ry, you make a beautiful girl!

The girls had now un-taped Ryan, so he replied to Troy's message.

singersmartz1107: hey troy. this is ryan. SHUT UP!

hoopsdude117: why did you let them do that to you?

singersmartz1107: they taped me to a chair. I didn't know they would do that.

hoopsdude117: wow. man, that's what you get for living with two girls.

"Ooh, you know what?" Sharpay randomly asked Natalie.

"What?"

"We should so do this to Troy tomorrow!"

"Yeah! Good idea!" Natalie replied.

"Yeah. HE should be put through the same torture I was put through!" Ryan added.

"Oh shut up Ry." Sharpay told her brother.

singersmartz1107: nat and shar said ur next to be a girl

hoopsdude117: huh?

singersmartz1107: hey troy. it's shar. will you come over after practice tomorrow?

hoopsdude117: um, ok

singersmartz1107: ok great. see ya tomorrow. bye

hoopsdude117: uh, bye

"OK, tomorrow, it's Troy's turn." Sharpay said.

"Great! It'll be so much fun!" Natalie said.

"One question." Ryan said.

"What?" Sharpay asked her brother.

"Can I wash this junk off of my face?"

"I guess." Natalie replied.


Next morning: Tuesday: 6:00AM

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

The three amigos woke up to the sound of the alarm beeping. They had drama at 7:30. They had taken their showers the night before, so they didn't have to get up as early.

"Ugh. This is too early." Sharpay said.

"Yes. I agree." Natalie replied as she got out of bed.

They got ready and then headed off to practice.

"Hey Troy." Sharpay said as she found her boyfriend that morning.

"Hey." He replied.

"Are you still coming over today?"

"Yeah." He replied.

"Fabulous!"

School was boring, as usual, and then they had drama practice. It was over(finally) and they headed for Natalie's house.

Once they got there, they had already gotten everything ready for Troy.

"Eleven hours at school is too long!' Troy said.

"Yeah, but today was the last early morning rehearsal since opening night is tomorrow." Ryan reminded him.

"Yeah. Your right. So, where did the girls go?"

"Uh, I'm not really sure." Ryan replied.

Right then, their girlfriends came up behind then, grabbed them, and duct taped them to their chairs.

"What the-??" Ryan said, well, more like yelled.

"Huh??" Troy asked, extremely confused.

"Muahaha!!" Natalie and Sharpay laughed or said or whatever that would be.

"Uh, what are two doing?" Troy asked.

"Uh, we were 'muahaha-ing' to scare you guys." Sharpay said in her 'duh' tone.

"No! I mean, taping us to the chairs." Troy said.

"Oh. This." Sharpay said as she and Natalie pulled out bags of make-up out from behind their backs.

"No way! Not again!" Ryan said.

"NO!" Troy yelled.

"YES!" Sharpay yelled right back at him.


Ten minutes later, the girls had finished their 'masterpieces'.

"There. Now we're done." Sharpay said.

"Finally. You were right Ryan, this is torture." Troy said.

"Uh, yeah." Ryan replied as Sharpay whispered something to Natalie.

"Ooh! Great idea!" Natalie said.

"Whenever you girls say 'ooh! great idea!', it's usually something bad for us." Ryan said.

"Yep. And it still is bad for you guys." Natalie replied as she and Sharpay ran upstairs.

"What do you think they're up to?" Troy asked Ryan.

"Nothing good. That's for sure." Ryan replied.

The girls came back downstairs with clothes in their arms.

"What are those for?" Troy asked the girls.

"They're for you." Sharpay replied.

"Huh?" Ryan asked.

"Here's the deal." Natalie said as she took a picture of the guys. "You can either walk around the block two times with girl clothes on…"

"Or we'll post videos of you two with make-up on all over the internet." Sharpay finished.

"Is there another choice?" Troy asked his girlfriend.

Sharpay pretended to think about it for a minute. "No."

"Which is better?" Ryan asked.

"Walking around the block. The pictures would be on the computer for forever." Natalie replied.

"OK. Fine. What do have to wear?" Troy asked.

"This." Sharpay said as her and Natalie pulled out mini skirts and tank tops. The guys' eyes went wide.

"Ugh, fine." Troy said, as he and Ryan went to change and then came back.

"Wow. You guys look hot!" Sharpay said as she started laughing uncontrollably and Natalie joined her.

"You two make two very lovely girls." Natalie added.

"Oh shut up." Ryan told his girlfriend.

"OK, se we'll walk with you to make sure you actually do walk around the block twice." Sharpay said.

"Fine." Troy said.

They went and walked around the block two times. Many people gave the guys weird looks, but they, thankfully, didn't see anyone from school. They finally arrived back at Natalie's house.

"OK, now is our torture over?" Ryan asked the girls.

"Yes, you can be guys again." Natalie replied to her boyfriend's question.

"Heck yeah!" Troy said.

"Yes! Finally!" Ryan said as he and Troy ran upstairs to change and wash the make-up off.

"Our boyfriends are so weird." Natalie said as she and Sharpay laughed the guys.

"Yes, but we love them for that." Sharpay replied.

"Yeah, that's true."
