The Last Chapter - Lost & Found
Gabriella stood outside the door, waiting with Mr Bolton. She tried to keep her breath at a normal speed, but she was incredibley nervous. Seeing this, Jack patted her hand.
"Stay calm, It's alright to be nervous"
"I know" She laughed, she ahd always been like a daughter to Jack.
"Ive seen a real change in Troy now, before he was really depressed, even with that Sharpay girl. She was sweet and everything but nothing compared to you"
"Thanks Jack"
"Call me Dad"
"Ok...Thanks Dad"
"Much better"
The music from the hall satarted to play and Gabriella's body tensed. She was about to become Mrs Bolton, and frightful but beautiful concept.
"Ready"
"As I'll ever be"
Jack took Gabriella's arm and they started to walk down the aisle at the steady pace of the music, with the bridesmaids etc, following.
Troy's eyes landed on Gabriella. He gasped; she had never looked so beautiful. No wonder she was hiding that dress. In the few seconds it took for Gabriella to reach Troy, he realised why he loved her so much. She was a girl, who was a normal, kind, sweet, caring, intelligent being, and he loved her for it. She didn't want him because of his looks, or because of his status (he was still often in issues of 'Albuquerue News'), she loved him because of him. She truely did make his life worth while.
Gabriella reached Troy, who gave her an encouraging wink. She kissed Jack's cheek, said thank you, and made her way to Troy, taking his hands and entwining their fingers. Then the minister made the big speech.

It came to the bit where they were to give each other their rings. They hadn't showed each other them, so it would be a surprise. After their vows, Gabriella turned to Taylor, who handed her Troy's ring and took it gratefully.
"Thanks" She whispered to Taylor, "For everything"
"Honey, your so welcome, by the way, you two are so cute"
Gabriella giggled to herself then turned to Troy. She looked into his eyes, which were filled with love for her. She took his hand and slipped the ring on his ring finger, she rubbed the ring slightly, and sighed as she stepped back. In here head she still had to keep reminding herself it wasn't a dream.
Troy then turned to Chad, his best man, and asked for the ring. Troy's heart sank when Chad started to frantically touch his pockets. Checking all his pockets, and with Troy getting impatient, Chad didn't know what to do. He knew exactly where the ring was - in his dressingroom.
The crowd was getting restless, waiting.
Troy turned back to Gabriella, who looked worried. He rolled his eyes to Gabriella, trying to make fun of the situation. But as soon as he turned back to Chad, his eyes filled with desperation. Chad had lost the ring, just great.
"Eh...If...You can wait,like, one second" Chad stuttered to everyone, "Sorry man" He said to Troy, who sighed.
Chad ran off, in the direction of the dressingroom. The crowd of family all started bickering, it wasn't going as smoothly as planned!
"Sorry about this" Troy said to Gabriella.
"It's ok, but Chad knows where it is, right"
"Of course"
Troy stroked Gabriella's hand, then turned to the minister to apologise.
The both turned to Taylor, who scowled.
"Just so you guys know" Taylor said to the couple, "Chad will be getting a right thump for this"
"It's ok, these things happen" Gabriella tried to lighten the mood.
"IVE GOT IT!" Came from the back of the room. All eyes floated to the direction of the doors, to see a running Chad pushing himslef as fast as he could to the front.
"Thank God for that!" Troy muttered. The ring had been found!
Troy took the ring and turned to Gabriella, who looked grateful that Chad had returned. He took the ring and sild it up her finger. She gasped at the beauty. He recognised this, and realised that he had chosen the right ring. Thankfully.
The ceremony continued, and at last it was time for the pair to kiss.
"I know pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride"
Troy took no time to get his lips on Gabriella's. He had waited to kiss her all day, no day was filled without her kisses. The pair forgot about everyone else in the room, lips smashed into each other. The stood back for breath, and sighed. They were finally married.

3 hours later
Everyone was sitting in the lounge of the villa they had rented for the after-party. They had cut the cake, and finished the celebration off with a big bang. It was prefect, the whole day, and Chad had been forgiven for his mistake - Taylor was still planning her punishment.
The meal had been delicous. Each course cooked by Zeke, who was still friends with Troy. The whole gang was their, nearly. The only one who wasn't there was Ryan. But Troy and him had never really been close friends anyway.
Kelsi, unfortunatley, couldn't make it. Her and Jason (now her husband) were in hospital, delivering their first baby. This couldn't be helped, there really wasn't any way they could get her there. This disappointed Troy, as she had been a big part in getting Gabriella back. But no worries, he had thanked her many, many times before.
Gabriella had excused herself from the table and was now standing on the balcony of the rented villa, looking out at the starry sky. He mind was buzzing; the day had been filled with ups and downs, nothing could have made it more prefect. Well, maybe one thing. But her mother couldn't have been here if she had tried. She wanted to have her mother there on her wedding day, supposedly the happiest day of your life. Gabriella had no mother to share it with. Troy's mother, Carol, was a motherly figure for sure, but not the real thing. But Gabriella knew, somewhere, that her mother was watching over her, and celebrating the wedding from up above.
"Is my wife cold?"
Gabriella turned around to see Troy coming towards her.
"A little"
"Lets see if I can help you"
Troy's arms wrapped themselves aroung Gabriella's waist and they swayed in the moonlight. After staying there for sometime, gabrielal broke from Troy's grasp.
"You coming back inside"
"No, I'm gonna stay here for a little while"
"Ok, dont be too long"
Gabriella kissed his cheek and left outside. Troy looked at the sky. It was beautiful, but not as beautiful as his new wife. He was going to make her the happiest woman on Earth. They were going to battle life together, and get through everything pushed at them. Because he loved her.
He had lost her in high school, and found her again 8 years later.
He lost her again, but with Kelsi's helped, found her once more.
And his plan from now on?
To keep her.
