(A/N: Sorry it took me a while to update. You guys weren't reviewing, and I was busy... so, yeah. I hope you like this next chapter!)
The next Wednesday, there was a knock on the Evans' apartment door. It was just about 10:00, and Troy, Gabi, Chad, and Taylor were already there. Gabi, Taylor, and Sharpay went to go answer the door. Standing there was a small brunette, with glasses and a hat. "Kelsi?" Taylor asked. "Guys!" Kelsi exclaimed. She hugged them and said, "Gabs, Tay, I got the invitations, and why didn't you tell me you were gonna get married?!?"
"We wanted to surprise you," Gabi explained. "Well, she's surprised," Sharpay smiled. "And to Troy and Chad? Imagine what the cheerleaders would do if they knew," Kelsi said. "Kelsi, that was six years ago!" Gabi said. "But, they'd hate our guts," Taylor told her. "Yeah, they would." Troy smiled and thought, Girls. They're so chatty!
A few minutes later, there was another knock on the door, and this time, Troy and the two other boys... well, men went to go get it. Standing there were two tall men. One of them was fair-skinned, with black hair, the other with darker skin, also with black hair. "Zeke, Jason?" Troy asked. "Hey guys," Zeke said. "Dudes, long time, no see!" Chad exclaimed. They all performed their old handshake from school, and immediately started catching up on what happened in the past six years.
"Oh, who's that cutie?" Kelsi asked, pointing to Jason. "Don't you remember? That's Jason," Gabi explained. "Who?" Kelsi asked. "Cross?" Taylor said. "Hold on, I thought you said his name was Jason." Sharpay sighed and said, "His first name is Jason. His last name is Cross. Don't you remember him?" Kelsi shook her head, and Gabi reminded her, "The one Wildcat?" Kelsi shook her head again. "Troy, Zeke, and Chad's best friend?" Taylor asked. Another shake of the head. "The one that helped you throw the basketball after the Wildcats won the championship?" Kelsi shook her head again, and Sharpay exclaimed, "You're hopeless!"
"Who's that one girl? The really cute one with the hat?" Troy said, "Dude, don't you remember? That's Kelsi."
"Who?"
"Nielson?" Jason said, confused, "You said her name was Kelsi, is it Kelsi or Nielson?" Ryan sighed, "Her name's Kelsi Nielson, don't you remember?" Jason said, "Nope." Troy turned to Chad, "You remember Kelsi, don't you?" Chad thought for a minute, "You mean small person?" Troy smacked his forehead and said, "Close enough." Jason shook his head, and Troy said, "You know, the composer for the school musical?" Jason replied, "No, not really." Chad said, "The one that always wore a hat?" He shook his head again, and Ryan tried, "The one you threw the basketball with after you won the big game?"
"Nope," Jason stated. Chad sighed and said, "Dude, she was your girlfriend for junior and senior year!" Jason shrugged, "I might remember her later." Troy sighed and told him, "You're hopeless."
Soon, they were all eating dinner at O'Charley's, and finally catching up on old times together. "So, what are your jobs?" Troy asked. "I'm a baker at a restaurant," Zeke said. "I'm not surprised," Sharpay stated. "I'm a pianist for the theater shows around here. Oh, and I write my own music, still."
"I'm a model," Jason said. Everyone stared at him in shock. "Seriously?" Chad asked. "Yep," Jason said calmly, and he struck a pose: turning his head to his right, with a serious expression on his face, and putting his hands on his hips. "OK... that was unexpected," Troy said slowly. Just then, Jason burst out laughing, "You actually believed me!"
"You're not a model?" Zeke asked. "Of course not! Are you crazy? No, I work at the zoo. I'm a volunteer zookeeper." Kelsi laughed, "OK, that's a relief to know." After lunch, they headed back to the Evans' apartment, and talked for hours about what they've been doing the last six years, and then, eventually, about the weddings. Jason, Kelsi, and Zeke had already gotten the invitations already, but then conversations switched to the Maids of Honor and the Best Men, the bridesmaids and groomsmen, and the guests that would attend the wedding. They told them that the only guests coming were close friends, and family.
Then, the groomsmen, bridesmaids, Maids of Honor, and Best Men were decided. Chad would be Troy's Best Man, and Troy would be Chad's. Taylor would be Gabi's Maid of Honor, and Gabi would be Taylor's. Then, for Troy and Gabi's wedding, Zeke would escort Sharpay down the aisle, then Jason would escort Kelsi, and Ryan would either walk down the aisle alone, or find a date prior to the weddings. Soon, Mr. and Mrs. Bolton called Troy's cell phone, asking where he was. He explained that he was at Sharpay and Ryan's apartment, and then he put his hand over the reciever and asked, "Is it OK if my parents come over? I mean, they wanna see how wedding planning's going, and they wanna help." Gabi said, "Sure, I guess, we could use some help." The rest of the gang agreed, and Troy told them they could come.
Soon, Mr. and Mrs. Bolton were there as well as the gang, helping in any way they could. Gabi's mom offered to help too, so then, there were three extra people helping, which sped up the planning process a bit. Gabriella thought, I don't have anyone to walk me down the aisle and to give me away! It saddened her to know her father himself couldn't be there for her wedding, and to give her away. Then she had an idea. Mr. Bolton could possibly walk her down the aisle. He had been like a father to her also. She figured that she would ask him that day. So, right before their parents left, Gabi asked to speak with Mr. Bolton. He walked over with her to a more private place and Gabriella asked, "Mr. Bolton, could you possibly walke me down the aisle at our wedding? Since, you know, my father passed away?" Mr. Bolton smiled, "Of course, Gabriella, I'd be honored." He gave her a hug and said, "You don't need to call me Mr. Bolton, you could call me Jack, or Dad, or whatever is fine with you."
"Thanks. And you can call me Gabi if you want." Mr. Bolton gave her another hug, then followed Mrs. Bolton out the door. "What was that about?" Troy asked. "I asked him to walk me down the aisle, since, you know, my Dad passed away before we met." Troy nodded, "Oh, yeah, well, I'm glad you asked my Dad to do that." Gabi smiled and gave him a kiss, which resulted in Chad saying, "Aww, how sweet." Gabi gave him a mock smile, and Troy said, "Dude, shut up. Seriously!"
(A/N: So... how'd you like it? I sort of need help deciding what would happen next, but I'm sort of getting ideas!)
