(A/N: The wait wasn't that long, right? So, here's the next chapter of Coming Back With Time!)
The gang sat around silently and Jason tried to joke around, "Well, one less wedding we have to plan, right?" No one laughed, not even him. "We need to get them back together," Sharpay declared. "Oh, boy," Ryan groaned. "What?" Ryan said, "She had an evil plan." He put air quotes around 'evil plan' to emphasize his point. "Shut up." Sharpay cleared her throat, clapped her hands twice, and said, "OK, everyone, here's what we're going to do to get them back together." She whispered her plan to them, smiling at the gang's smiles and murmurs of approval.
Two days later, Gabi, Sharpay, and Kelsi were taking a confused Taylor to the Evans' apartment. "What are we doing here? You said that we'd go to a movie or something after lunch."
"I . . . forgot the free movie ticket pass," Sharpay lied. She unlocked the apartment door and went to her room, pretending to look for the non-exisitent movie pass.
Meanwhile . . .
"Dude, you said we'd be playing hoops, not going to Ryan's." Ryan lied, "I need to get something." Chad said, "Well hurry up." Ryan said, "Come wait inside, it might be a while." Chad sighed, while Troy and Jason smiled. Chad was shocked to see Taylor standing around in the living room. "Oh, hello," he said. Taylor nodded her head, and then said, "I'm gonna go over -- "
"No, you're not," Sharpay said. Gabi blocked the door to the kitchen, Troy blocked the door to go out, and the others blocked the other doors.
"You set us up!" Chad said. They couldn't really believe it. Well, they could, actually. They could totally believe Sharpay would be the one behind this. "We set you up, and we're not letting you go until you apologize. And you mean it," Gabi declared. Chad and Taylor sighed, looking at the ground, or the ceiling, or the walls. Anywhere but at each other. The two of them stayed silent, and Jason spoke up, saying, "We're not letting you out 'til you apologize. Not even for the bathroom or food. Not letting you out for anything."
Chad and Taylor looked at Jason, then finally, at each other. Taylor tried to hold back a smile, but couldn't. Eventually, she began laughing. Quietly at first, then louder. Chad started to laugh, too. Chad and Taylor kept laughing, and when they stopped, the two of them said at the same time, "I'm sorry --" They cut off, and began to say, "You go first." When they both said it at the same time, Troy suggested, "Hey, why doesn't Taylor go first. Then Chad can apologize."
Taylor stepped a little closer to Chad, and said softly, "Chad, I'm really, really sorry about everything. I guess I was just too stressed out about the wedding and all, and I shouldn't have blamed you, because I never had let you help, because I was too busy trying ot make the wedding perfect. I take back everything I said. I love you." She smiled, and it was Chad's turn to say that he was sorry.
"Look Tay, I'm sorry too. I guess I wasn't taking this seriously. But, I take back everything I said, too. I'm really sorry. I accept your apology." The two of them kissed, and Zeke said somewhat jokingly, "I'll make some cookies to celebrate!" Only, the gang took it seriously, and Zeke was stuck making cookies for the gang. He made snickerdoodle cookies, and the gang ate them with milk. Jason reached for the last cookie, as did Kelsi, and their hands touched. They looked at each other for a moment or two, then pulled their hands apart and looked away, slightly embarrassed. Kelsi kind of blushed.
"You can have it," Jason said, pushing the cookie toward Kelsi. "No, I'm kinda full already. You can have it."
"No, really," Jason insisted. Kelsi pushed the cookie back and said, "Really, Jason, take it." Ryan sighed, took the cookie, broke it in half, and put one half into each of their hands. "There, now you each have a half." Jason and Kelsi smiled at each other and ate their half of the cookie. The gang talked and laughed, extremely happy. The wedding was back on.
