Hey Guys! I'm back with another part for this episode. This part has the actual party at it? What can happen? Will Troy ask Gabi out? Will Kelsi get her way with Chad? Will Sharpay finally get Troy? All questions will be answered (in a way) in the 2nd part of The Party of Drama. So off of commercials, here we go!

Zeke's House

"So how was the date last night?"Jason asked Chad, shooting the ball into the net.

"It was amazing, man. It really made me feel like I really was meant for her, you know?" Chad replied.

"Dude don't go lovey-dovey on us!" Zeke explained, stealing the ball from Jason.

"Shut up!" Chad said.

"So does that mean that you're in love, Danforth?" Zeke asked, passing the ball to him.

"I'm not sure. I mean, I like her a lot and everything. I think I'll save the 'I love you's' for a while now," Chad said, smiling at the guys.

"That's my man," Jason told him, patting him on the back.

"Hey, I'm not letting her go though, J-Wahl if that's what you're thinking," Chad replied.

"I wasn't saying that…directly though," J-Wahl said.

"Whatever, man," Chad said. Chad's phone starts to ring from its spot on the grass. Chad ran over to get it and answered it.

"Hello," he said into the phone. "Uh huh….yeah….ok we're on our way. See ya soon." He flipped his phone down.

"Who was that?" Zeke asked.

"It was Troy. We have to help him BBQ since the party's getting ready to start," Chad replied.

"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go," Jason told them a few seconds later.

They got their stuff and drove in separate cars to Troy's house.

Troy's House

The doorbell rang and Troy jogged up to the door. Behind it, it was Gabriella and Taylor.

"Hey Troy!" they both said.

"Hey gurls, you're the first ones here," Troy told them.

"And that should be good," Taylor replied, hugging him.

"Yeah, yeah. The guys are on their way over," Troy said, "everything's in the backyard,"

"Ok," Taylor replied, heading to the backyard, leaving Troy with Gabriella.

"So, how are you?" Troy asked Gabi.

"I'm pretty good," Gabriella replied shyly.

"Ok, you want a tour of the house," he said.

"Ok," she smiled. He smiled back and led her throughout the house.

A few minutes later, the guys all arrived and headed through to the backyard, where they were greeted by Troy, Gabi and Taylor.

"What's up Troy? Ladies!!!" Jason said, coming up to them.

"Hey, get your hands off of my girl!" Chad told him as he grabbed Taylor away from Jason.

"He was only kidding!" Taylor replied, smiling and giving him a kiss on the cheek.

"What's up guys? Ya'll ready to start cooking or grilling?" Troy asked the guys.

"I was born ready, let's go!" Zeke said, already at the grill.

The guys were grilling the burgers, chicken, hot dogs and tons of other stuff. Mrs. Bolton was inside fixing up the fries and additional stuff inside and Gabi and Taylor would occupy themselves helping her or the guys. More people came and the after-party was in full swing with food, music and chilling.

After 30 minutes, Gabriella had to get something out of her car and she saw a few certain people she thought she would avoid all weekend. She ran back inside and pulled Taylor away from Chad, who was cuddled up to each other while talking to Jason and some girls.

"You would never believe who's here," Gabriella told her.

"Who?" Taylor asked.

"Sharpay and Kelsi," she whispered.

"Oh god, it's about to be a... girl fight!" Taylor sang.

Outside Troy's House

Sharpay and Kelsi got out of their car followed by 2 other girls. They saw Gabriella look at them, with an envy look on her face and raced inside.

"What was that for?" Kelsi sneered.

"I don't know. Maybe she's scared of the Ice Queens," Sharpay replied. The girls snickered and went up to the gate to the backyard.

"What are we gonna do about the guys?" Kelsi asked.

"Just watch me and follow along," Sharpay said, a smile playing on her face. They entered into the backyard and half of the people there started to stare.

"Troy!" Sharpay said, "Hey! What is up?" she went up to Troy and hugged him. He had a scared look on his face and changed it to a happy look. He pulled back and had a smile on his face.

"Sharpay, I didn't know you were coming to the party," Troy told him.

"I told you that I was coming, don't you remember?" Sharpay asked.

"Oh yeah, I remember," Troy laughed.

Inside, Taylor and Gabi looked out at Troy and Sharpay talking and then Sharpay pulled out her flirting style.

"Uh! She makes me sick! Just look at her. Softly touching his arm and flipping her hair, she's so going after your man, Gabi!" Taylor told her.

"He's not my man, Gabi. We're just friends," Gabriella said in defense.

"He gave you a tour of his house and he's been uber sweet to you. What do you call that?" Taylor asked her.

"A nice person, I guess," Gabriella replied.

"Whatever, I'm gonna head over to the cabana and chill there, you coming?" Taylor said. Gabriella nodded and they both left the porch and went into the cabana and sat down. The cabana was nearby the pool and had a full view of everyone on the porch. Some of their own friends joined them on the cabana and they gossiped about the Ice Queens.

"I can't believe that they would come to the party. They're only here to steal your guys," Becky, a friend, said.

"Especially Kelsi. She really likes Chad and won't stop at nothing to get at him. Why can't they realize that he's mine and not hers?" Taylor exclaimed.

"But they think that they should go out with them since they are better and they shouldn't hang out with the 'science geeks'?" Yolanda, another friend, replied.

"Ever heard of not sticking to the status quo!?" Karen asked. (lol)

"Change it up, it'll be the dating status quo!" Taylor laughed along with the others. Gabriella laughed also and she continued to catch a glimpse or two of Troy and Sharpay. He was trying to get away from her and she was following him and still trying to talk to him.

Back on the porch

Sharpay gave up on Troy and pulled Kelsi away from Chad from their conversation.

"Hey! What was that for?" Kelsi asked.

"Look over by the cabana," Sharpay commanded. Kelsi did and they both saw Taylor, Gabi and a few other girls sitting at the cabana, talking and chatting.

"Why are you worried about that, Sharpay? There are better things to worry about," Kelsi told her.

"You're right. Well, I want to head out. These guys don't want to play today," Sharpay said, "Hey Troy, we're heading out. See you later!"

Troy just waved at her as he chatted with Chad. Sharpay and Kelsi grabbed their stuff along with their other friends and started to head out.

Now let's go to the cabana.

The girls were laughing at Taylor's joke and Taylor had taken a glance at the porch. She let loose a giggle as she looked over the porch.

"What's up, Taylor?" Gabriella asked.

"Guess who wants to leave?" Taylor said, with a smirk.

All the girls looked over at the porch and saw Sharpay and Kelsi starting to leave. The girls let out 'ohs' that Sharpay happened to hear. Sharpay turned to glance at Taylor and gave her a evil glare. Taylor gave her one back and rolled her eyes. Sharpay flicked her off and left the backyard along with the rest of her crew.

"Ow! Whoo!" the girls in the cabana hollered as the Ice Queens left. Taylor grabbed Gabi's hand and pulled her out of the cabana. (Ok, just for your info, they are acting like Kyndra and her gang in this part, but for the rest of the story, it'll be them like Tessa and Raquel. I just wanted to get that across so you don't think that Taylor and Gabi and the bad girls. They are GOOD! Continuing!)

"Where are we going?" Gabriella asked.

"We…are getting into the pool. I need to cool down," Taylor said, with a smile. Gabriella smiled back and both girls jogged back up to the porch.

"Where are you girls going?" Chad asked.

"We are going to put on our bathing suits so we can chill in the pool for your information," Taylor said smarticly to him.

"Pool Time!" Jason said, heading into the house, everyone laughing at him.

A few minutes later, the guys (including Troy, Chad, Jason, and Zeke) splashed into the pool and Taylor, Gabriella and a few others took the steps into the pool, all their hairs pinned up.

"Hey Taylor! Come over here!!" Chad said, calling her over to the deep side.

"I can't. I'll drown!" Taylor whined. Chad swam over to her and held her close, his arms around her waist.

"Just hold onto me and you'll be fine," Chad told her calmly. Taylor nodded and wrapped her arms around him. He started to back up into the deep part of the pool and Taylor never let go. They reached into the middle of the pool and that's when Chad stopped.

"See, it wasn't that bad!" Chad said.

"Yeah, for you!" Taylor replied, smirking. She then let go of Chad and dunked him into the pool. Chad was under water for a few seconds and he came up hair drenched and he was coughing for air. Everyone laughed and Chad grew fake anger.

"You're getting it now, McKessie!" he yelled. Taylor squealed and tried to swim away but Chad grabbed her by the waist and pulled her under with him. Laughter filled the pool area and soon, a few others were in the main pool, playing along with Chad and Taylor. It eventually ended having a volleyball game, boys vs. girls. Above the pool was the Jacuzzi where Gabriella sat and smiled at her best friend and her boyfriend. Troy slipped in and poked Gabi on her side.

"Ah! Gosh, don't do that. You almost scared me," Gabriella said.

"I'm sorry, Gabs," Troy replied with a sweet smile, "I love teasing you,"

Gabriella blushed and placed her arm over the ledge. "So what were you and Sharpay talking about?" she asked.

"I was trying to forget," Troy said, sitting next to her, "she was telling me about her next audition and everything. I was wondering when she would ever leave me alone,"

"Oh ok. So you don't like her?" Gabriella asked. She immediately regretted it.

Troy looked at her. "No I don't. But there is someone who I really like, though," he replied, moving a little closer to her.

Gabi was turning red and thinking of a good reply. "Well, do you mind telling me?" Gabi asked, even though she finally knew who it was.

"She's…kinda right here," Troy whispered. They both smiled and interlocked fingers. Troy lifted her onto his lap and wrapped his arms around her. Gabriella leaned into Troy and they both watched the others continue to play volleyball.
