Author's Note: HAPPY THANKSGIVING!



=Thanksgiving Surprise=

-PART 5: Surprise && Happy Thanksgiving-

"Morning Troy, Lucille and Jack. Happy Thanksgiving," Inez said as she opened the door for the Boltons on Thanksgiving morning.

"Thanks Inez. Happy Thanksgiving!" They all replied back as they hung up their jackets with smiles.

"Where's Brie at?" Troy asked Inez after he greeted Greg and her with a hug.

"She's still sleeping. She was wiped out from the party last night." Inez said with a smile.

"Well, in that case, Greg I need to ask you a basketball question, if you don't mind, in private." Troy asked Greg who smiled, nodded and motioned for Troy to follow him into his office. Before Troy walked into the office, he motioned for his dad to follow which his dad did.


"Those three and basketball," Inez said as she and Lucille rolled their eyes with a giggle as they walked into the stainless steal kitchen.

"Okay, one it smells delicious in here and two the decoration is beautiful in here," Lucille said as she looked around the kitchen.

"Thanks, that would be the turkey and I did the decorating all myself," Inez said in a non-bragging voice.

"Well, its beautiful," Lucille told her with a smile as they sat at the island, drinking a glass of coffee.

"Thanks. So is your house," Inez said with a smile.

"Thanks," Lucille replied with a smile and then said as she saw Greg and Jack walk in wearing bright smiles on their faces. Raising one eyebrow she asked, "What's that look for and where's Troy?"

"He's going upstairs to wake up Gabi. Did you know our son bought her red, yellow and orange roses for Thanksgiving?" Jack replied to his wife.

"No I did not, I didn't even see him bring them in," Lucille told her husband with a smile.

"Neither did I," Inez said with a smile at how sweet her daughter's boyfriend is.

"He went back over to our house to grab them and some other stuff," Jack told them with a smile.

Ten minutes later, Inez opened the door for Troy as he came in carrying a bouquet of roses and a bag full of what looked like presents.

"What are these for?" Inez asked Troy referring to the bag of wrapped presents.

"A little something here and there," Troy said with a smile as he sat the back and roses down to take off his coat as he hummed what Inez recognized as Breaking Free.

"You really love her don't you?" Inez asked him with a knowing smile.

"More than anything," He replied before he took the roses and ran up the stairs to Gabriella's room still humming Breaking Free.


When Troy walked into Gabriella's room, he was greeted with the most innocent sight in the world.

In the massive, red and black satin covered bed with matching pillow cases was his beautiful Filipina/Latina girlfriend with her chocolate brown hair all scattered over the pillow behind her and her head on the pillow she was laying on. To her left side laid a dog he knew well, the star of all the Air Bud movies, the beautiful golden retriever Buddie, one of Gabriella's dogs and one of the four Montez dogs. To her right side was the black toy poodle he got her named Shadow. Laying on one of the two white chaise lounge couches facing the fireplace and the 104 inch flat screen TV hanging above it, was Inez's dog, Duchess, a beautiful white with a little light golden tint in the coat of the Samoyed dog. And laying on a red satin bean bag was the guard dog of the house, Greg's dog, Ace, a beautiful German Shepard, who was doing his normal routine of guarding Gabriella.

"Hey you guys," Troy whispered and all the dogs looked at him and looked like they smiled, all except for Ace who let out a small growl not knowing it was Troy because his eyes were still guarding the balcony.

"Its alright Ace its just me," Troy said as Ace looked at him when Troy said his name. Ace just looked at him and then looked back at the balcony.

Troy smiled and quietly snuck over to Gabriella's bed and leaned down to place feather light kisses on Gabriella's forehead, cheeks and lips.

"Brie, baby, it's time to get up. Happy Thanksgiving," Troy whispered in her ear.

"Mm…morning wildcat. Happy Thanksgiving!" Gabriella mumbled as she pulled him down to get a passionate kiss from him.

"Well, that was sure something. Not that I'm complaining." Troy said as he kissed her again before saying, "I got a surprise for you."

"Oh, what is it?" Gabriella asked with a raised eyebrow.

"These," Troy said with a smile as he pulled out the roses from behind his back.

"Oh, Troy! There beautiful, baby! Thank you!" Gabriella exclaimed as she took the roses and smelled them with a massive smile.

"Your welcome, babe. I love you," He told her with a soft smile as he cupped her cheek and rubbed his thumb along his cheek.

The rest of the day, Gabriella spent in her pajamas helping her parents and the Boltons with the cooking that made the Montez house smell delicious.


At four o'clock the Boltons left to get dressed for dinner as the Montezes got ready also.

"Wow, baby girl you look amazing," Greg told his daughter and he was right, she did look amazing in her dark red ruched spaghetti dress that went a little below the knees, dark red satin ruched 4 inch high heels, her T necklace from Troy, red diamond studs, her make up was lightly done and her hair was up in a beautiful French twist, all her cloths were from Charlotte Russe.

"Thanks daddy, you look handsome," Gabriella said as she smiled at her dad who wad dressed in dark wash jeans, button up black shirt and dress shoes.

"Thanks baby girl. Izzy, you look beautiful," Greg said to his daughter and then his wife. Inez was dressed in a beautiful black dress from Charlotte Russe with matching accessories and make up, her hair was up in a beautiful French braid.

"Thanks honey," Inez said as Greg went to answer the door as Gabriella went to start the music.

"Hello guys, come on it." Greg told the Boltons who all arrived back with the Evans, the Baylors, the Coxes, the Nielsens, the Crosses, the McKessies, and the Danforths behind them.

"Hey everyone," Gabriella said as she walked out of the dining room with a smile as she hugged everyone.

Soon after greeting everyone, they all went to sit down and eat dinner, but before eating they told each other what they were thankful for.

"Troy, you, and Gabriella, are the only ones who need to tell us before we can eat," Greg told Troy with a smile.

"I'll go first," Troy said with a smile as he stood up before turning to Gabriella, taking a hold of her hands and looking her into her eyes, he said, "Gabriella Marie Montez, Brie, Baby Brie, you know I love you more than ANYTHING in the world right?"

"Of course I do." She replied with a soft smile.

"And that I would do ANYTHING for you." He said and watched as Gabriella nodded her head before he continued, as he got down on one knee making shocked gasps go around the room, " Gabriella Marie Montez, Baby Brie, Brie, something brought us both to karaoke at the lodge in Colorado. It wasn't just by coincidence that we met at East High afterwards or that we got the parts in Twinkle Towne and broke free. Someone somewhere knew that we are meant to be. Even though our friends saw that, they tried to break us up, and they did for a little bit until they apologized and told us the truth, making us stand even stronger. Our friends especially Chad and Sharpay, of all people, tried to get us to tell each other to say I love you and because of that, they brought us even closer together and because of them we started something new.

I don't know if there is really such a thing as soul-mates or star crossed lovers, but I think there is something or someone big up there that helps you find out who you are meant to be with. I think there is some higher power maybe that helps you find like, your match, the person who just fits with you. And for me, that's you Gabriella Marie Montez. So on this day in front of a billion people, our fans, our families and our friends I ask you. Will you make me the happiest man in the world and become Mrs. Gabriella Marie BOLTON. Will you marry me and spend the rest of our lives together?"

"YES! YES! YES! YES! OF COURSE!" Gabriella squealed loudly before she pounced on him making them both collapse on the floor and everyone laugh between their tears for the happy couple.

After they got up off the floor, Troy slipped on a ring that all the women recognized as The Tiffany Setting ring, the ring that has been the world's favorite engagement rings since its creation a century ago. People called it the ring of all rings because it was the most beautiful and brilliant ring in the world ever, Gabriella smiled as he slipped it on her ring finger before they passionately kissed.

"To Troy and Gabriella," Sharpay said as she raised her glass as did everyone else while the couple still kissed.

THE END!
