Morning – Reception Place

Gabriella was walking around the reception place where it will hold Chad and Taylor's reception after their wedding. She was making sure everything was set and ready for rehearsal tonight. She wanted or maybe needed everything to be right. One thing that was wrong was the caters were taking a while to arrive to start cooking.

As she checked the last table for the right arrangements, Troy had entered the dinner set. He took a long look around the place until his eyes fell on Gabriella. He smiled and walked towards her.

"Gabi!" Troy yelled out to her. She turned around to see Troy Bolton smiling at her. She had forgotten about the note she had wrote for him the other night.

"Hey Troy. What are you doing here?" Gabriella asked surprise to see him.

"Oh I decided to drop by and see the place, which by the way is beautiful and thought maybe you needed some help."

"Well thank you but unless you can cook some great cuisines you can't really help," she said walking towards the bar.

"Well I can make some great peanut butter and jelly sandwiches," Troy said smiling. She turned around to face him.

"Haha well Troy not everyone wants a peanut butter and jelly sandwich at a wedding."

"Hey you never know and not everyone has had the famous Troy Bolton's PB&J sandwich. You were one of the lucky ones to enjoy one."

Gabriella laughed at him.

"Your PB&J sandwiches are as famous as your ego. Anyways did you get your suit?"

"Yeah I did. And I got to admit, my mom picked out a hell of a suit."

"I know she asked my opinion on it. It will look great on you."

"Thanks." Gabriella smiles at him and he returns it. They look at each other like that for quite awhile. Troy starts to lean into her as she starts too as well. Their lips were centimeters away before Sharpay bust through the door.

"OH MY GOD! Gabi this place looks amazing!" Sharpay shouted as she looked around the place. Troy and Gabriella looks up to see Sharpay.

"Damn it I was so close. Stupid Sharpay!" Troy shouted in his head.

"Hey guys," Sharpay says as she approaches them not knowing what she prevented.

"Hey," they say together.

"Um…I think I'm going to go. I'll see you guys tonight," Troy said leaving without looking at Gabriella.

30 minutes before dinner rehearsal

Troy buttons up his black collar shirt, as he gets ready for the rehearsal dinner. He ties a black tie around his neck. He then slips on the black suit jacket. He looks at himself in the mirror. Unnoticed by Troy, his dad enters his room.

"Troy?" his dad asked surprising Troy. He jumped and turned around to see his father.

"Dad you scared me," Troy replied. Jack laughed.

"Anyways Troy I want you to have something." Troy raised his eyebrows.

"What is it?" Troy asked curious.

"Well this is a family jewel. It's been in the Bolton family for 3 generations and it's still in good condition. My grandfather gave it to my grandmother when they got married. Then he passed it down to my father. He gave it to my mother when they got married. He then passed it down to me where I gave it to your mother when I proposed to her."

"And you want to give this to me why?" Troy asked confused.

"I want you to have the ring to give to Gabriella."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! You want me to propose to Gabriella? Dad newsflash we're not together anymore!"

"Oh please your mother found that letter she wrote to you in your desk drawer."

"Wait! Why was she in my desk drawer?"

"Never mind that Troy! You have bigger things to worry about. So when are you going to give Gabriella another chance?"

"That's none of your business."

"Troy don't let her go this time!"

"Okay first of all this is between me and Gabriella and I'm never letting her go again."

"Okay will you just take the ring and think about it?" Troy thought about it for a few minutes.

"Okay fine. I'll think about it but I'm not promising you that I will."

"Deal now are you ready we have to get to the dinner?"

"I'm ready."

"Good let's go."

Dinner Rehearsal

Troy looks around the room full of people dress formal. He searched for a certain girl. Then someone tapped him on the shoulder and he turned around to face the most beautiful figure he has ever seen.

"Wow," was all Troy could say at that moment. Gabriella was standing in front of him in a beautiful slim black dress.

"Is it too much?" Gabriella asked smiling nervously.

"No, no way. It's perfect. You look great," Troy said kissing her on the cheek.

"Thanks. You look great yourself."

"Why thank you." Gabriella laughed at his cockiness. Then Sharpay tapped her on the shoulder and Gabriella turned around.

"Oh my god! Gabi you look hot!" Sharpay said hugging her.

"Thanks I think," Gabriella responded. They both let go.

"Oh my god you do look amazing Gabi. Does she look hot Troy?" Sharpay asked Troy making him uncomfortable.

"Uh…" Troy answered. Gabriella could tell he was uncomfortable.

"Troy are you death or just plain stupid?" Sharpay asked. Troy glared at her.

"I rather not say in front of you," Troy said.

"Whatever I'll be by the bar if you guys need me," Sharpay said leaving.

"She is so…"

"Troy don't even say it."

"Okay but just because you said so. But you do look hot," he said and started moving through the crowd.

Gabriella couldn't help but smile at what he just said. She then snapped out of her gaze and walked towards the bar where Sharpay was.

Troy got to the snack table and took a few snacks. He then turned to search for Gabriella again. Then suddenly his phone started ringing. He smiled at who was calling him.

"Hey where are you?" he asked Gabriella.

"Meet me outside," was all she said before she hung up. Troy looked at his phone confused but did as he was told. He went outside to search for Gabriella. He found her standing there looking at the stars. He walked to her.

"Hey. What are you doing out here?" Troy asked getting her attention. She continued to look at the dark sky.

"Just needed to think and get some fresh air." Troy looked to the sky. They stood there looking at the dark sky in comfortable silence. Then Gabriella moved her gaze to Troy.

"Troy?" She asked. He turned his attention to Gabriella.

"Yeah?" He smiled at her.

"Did you ever get that note I left on your desk in your room?"

"Yeah i did."

"What do you think?"

"Well I-" Troy was cut off.

"Troy! Thank god I found you. It's time for your speech man!" Zeke said grabbing Troy and pulling him away. Gabriella sighed and walked in behind him.
