(Sunday, November 23, 2008- 11AM)

"Alright so which room first?" Gabriella asked her parents with a smile as they stood in the living room that was filled with five tubes of Thanksgiving stuff that went inside the house.

"You do the dinning room, I'll do the lights around each window of each room and the doors, and Inez does the kitchen. We'll doing the living room and ballroom together." Greg told his daughter with a soft smile.

Gabriella nodded her head and took the blue tub labeled Thanksgiving stuff-dinning room and carried it out into the dinning room. Smiling she patted all the dogs on the head after she set the tub down on the dark cherry wood floor.

Gabriella walked over to the Kaleidescape system, smiling she scrolled through the music and found Better Shape Up from the movie Grease starring (and sung by) Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta. Smiling she hit play before she went back over to the tub and pulled out all the ribbons that she was going to tie on the back of all 28 white fully cushioned chairs that went with the massive cherry wood dining room table that had a glass table top.

Smiling, she got the first ribbon and pulled out the chair, tying the beautiful satin torrid orange ribbon around the chair so that the back of the chair had a beautiful bow tie.

Gabriella then tied a red satin bow around the back of the next chair, and then on another chair she tied a yellow bow, on the next she tied a emerald green bow, the next one she tied a red one, and then on the next one a white one, and so on and so forth in the pattern, until al the chairs had a beautiful satin ribbon on them.

On the table she put a beautiful fall festival Thanksgiving table runner that she made with her grandma on her mom's side, grandma Nadine. The table runner had a leave pattern to it with orange and white satin lace around it.

Gabriella then grabbed out of the tote the placemats, the placemats where beautiful red, orange, white and or yellow placemat. Smiling she put the matching placemat with the chair that had the matching ribbon.

Gabriella, then, grabbed the fake arrangement of orange, yellow, red and white roses and placed it in the middle of the table and one each side Turkey shaped candles that have never been lit.

Gabriella turned and watched as her dad was standing in the dinning room doorway that lead into the living room, hanging up fake leave garland that was laced with orange lights.

"Can I get you anything to drink daddy?" Gabriella asked her dad with a smile.

"Yeah a Pepsi please baby girl," Greg said with a soft smile at his daughter.

"Sure thing," Gabriella said as she walked across to the other side of the dinning room and walked into the kitchen through the white swinging door to find her mom finishing up decorating the kitchen. Smiling Gabriella told her mom while she grabbed all three of them a Pepsi, "It looks beautiful mommy!"

"Thanks mija," Inez told her with a smile as they walked back out into the dinning room. Smiling Inez told her daughter after looking around the dinning room, "It look's beautiful in here! Especially with the crystal chandelier dimmed!"

Gabriella nodded and smiled up at the 8 million dollar crystal chandelier that hung on the cream colored with chocolate brown banister ceiling.

"Now that is adorable!" Inez said as she looked at all four dogs tangled up and playing in the garland that sat on the floor.

"Aw! They look so cute!" Gabriella said before she took out her iPhone and took a picture of them.

"Um, a little help here?" Greg asked his wife and daughter.

Gabriella and Inez turned around and burst out giggling at the sight before them. There was Gregory Anthony Montez sitting on the latter, upside down, tangled up in Thanksgiving garland and lights.

"Ha! Ha! Now please will you two help me?" Greg asked his wife and daughter as he glared at them as they rolled around the floor, holding their stomachs, and laughing at him.

"Daddy…how…did…that…happen?! That's…something…Chad…would...do," Gabriella said between giggles as she and her mom whipped out their iPhones to take pictures and send them to their emails and their friends.

"You send that and your both dead!" Greg warned them.

Gabriella and Inez looked at each other before they giggled and said looking back at Greg, "Too late!"

"You two are so dead," Greg told them.

"Oh yeah, Greggy? Your in no position to threaten us." Inez said with a smile using her nickname for him.

"You forget daddy dearest, we can leave you there," Gabriella told her dad with a smirk on her face that she learned (and got) from her mom who had the same smirk on his face.

"You wouldn't dare!" Greg said, surprised.

"We so would!" Inez and Gabriella said together.

"Hey mom! I'm in the mood for Starbucks hot chocolate, you want one?" Gabriella said to her mom.

"I would love one," Inez said as she smiled at her daughter, both of ignoring a hanging upside down Greg Montez.

"Alright, then let's go," Gabriella told her mom, putting on her winter outerwear.

"You go and I guess I'll help your father. You know what I like and your father likes. So go on ahead," Inez told her daughter.

"Alright, I love you guys. I'll be back shortly," Gabriella said before she grabbed her black lambskin classic flap with CC (Chanel) signature and straps made of chains and pearls tote from Chanel (CC) and grabbed a set of car keys and walked out of the front door and into the massive garage.

Smiling Gabriella walked past her mom's white Audi S4 Cabriolet Convertible and automatically unlocked the doors to her sleek black 2009 Audi Q7 SUV and hopped into the front seat.

Gabriella plugged her red iPhone into the stereo system and before she could put on With You by Jessica Simpson her phone vibrated. She smiled as she saw a picture of her and Troy from the Halloween Dance at UCLA that Sharpay took of them kissing while they were dancing. She hit except and then put the phone up to her ear with a, "Hey baby."

"Hey sweetheart. What are you doing right now?" Gabriella heard Troy's sweet voice come through the receiver end of the phone.

"Well, right now, I'm sitting in my Audi SUV, talking to you while getting ready to go to Starbucks to pick up hot chocolate for my parents and me. What are you doing honey?" Gabriella said as she started up the engine to get the car warmed up as she then turned on the heater.

"Well, I was going to get Starbucks for me and my parents too and I was wondering if you wanna go with me?" Troy asked her with a smile she couldn't see.

"How about I drive by yours here in the next two minutes since you live next door to me and then I'll drive us to Starbucks?" Gabriella asked him with a smile.

"That sounds good. I'll see you in two minutes. I love you, Gabriella Marie Montez." Troy told her making her smile a smile he couldn't see.

"I love you too, Troy Alexander Bolton." Gabriella said as she hung
