After a full half hour of constant care for Sharpay, she still hadn't woken up. "Come on, Shar." Ryan kept whispering to her, "Don't leave me. I need you. Please, don't leave me." Cloe was sitting in a corner of Sharpay's room watching the whole thing. Rachael was curled up on the floor with her back to the wall. She was staring out the window and was holding the lamp in her arms. The letters were sitting next to her.
"Come on, just wake up, Shar." Ryan whispered, "I can't risk losing you." He leaned over and squeezed her close to him. Then, there was a slight moan from Sharpay as Rachael sat up quickly and Cloe looked up. "Ryan?" she said weakly as she opened her eyes slowly. "Sharpay!" he exclaimed and hugged her even tighter.
"What happened?" she asked wearily. "Stay awake, Shar." He told her and helped her to sit up, "Just please stay awake for at lest another hour." "Why so I feel so strange?" she asked him lifting up a hand to feel the bandages on her neck. "You were doing it again." He told her, "Don't do it again, please. You scared us all. I was worried about you."
"Did you tell them?" Sharpay asked quietly. "Only because you asked me to." Ryan reminded her. "Ryan…you're crazy." She told him. "I love you, too, Shar." He responded with a smile and had her lean against him with her head on his shoulder.
"Um…Sharpay." Cloe got up the courage to speak, "I have a secret to tell you. It's about you, Ryan, and Rachael." "And our mom." Ryan told her. "Mother?" she asked a bit confused. "And mine." Rachel added. "We don't know how to tell you this, but when your parents call you 'princess' they really aren't lying." Cloe began to explain.
It took a full half hour to explain the entire story. The entire time, Sharpay was looking back and forth between the three others in the room. When Cloe finished explaining, she looked at Sharpay's shocked face.
"Ryan?" Sharpay looked up at Ryan. "It's as true as it's ever going to get." He responded and kissed her on the forehead, a sure sign of comfort. "If you don't believe us, it's all right. We have proof." Cloe explained and stood up.
She walked over to Rachael and picked up the letters. "These were written by your mother to her sister: Rachael's mom." Cloe continued, handing the letters to Sharpay, "Then, there's Zac." Rachael stood up and started to rub the lamp.
There was a white light and Zac came out of the lamp. He floated in mid-air before Sharpay, who stared at him in shock. "Ah, the last princess." Zac said to her, "You don't look too well." "Genie?" Sharpay croaked. "Zac Efron at your service." He introduced himself, "Been a genie for two decades." He bowed to her in appreciation. "So, Shar. Are you ready to receive our powers?" Ryan asked her.
"Is this some kind of joke?" she asked unsure. "No. It's as real as I am, Shar." Ryan told her. "Then, it must only be half real." Sharpay stated. "I'm feeling the love right now." Ryan stated a bit sarcastically, "How about everyone else?" They just rolled their eyes.
"Isn't she just a picture of perfection?" Zac stated. "All right, I believe you." Sharpay sighed, "He's good." "I know I am, my princess." Zac told her. "You're really good." She admitted with narrowed eyes studying him.
"Are you three heirs ready to receive what's yours?" Zac asked. "Yes." Ryan and Rachael responded immediately. Sharpay put the letters on the bed and nodded, "Sure." "All right, then." Zac raised his hands in the air and a white light surrounded the three.
Cloe was flung into the wall and closed her eyes to avoid becoming blind. When she opened her eyes, the white light faded and she saw Sharpay heal in the blink of an eye. Ryan was floating and Rachael was upside down.
"Hey, I didn't even know that I could do a head stand." Rachael stated. "I'm not in pain, but I'm pretty sure that was supposed to be painful." Sharpay commented on her sudden recuperation as she noticed her missing bandages. "Shar, I know you're always telling me to stay light on my feet during dance rehearsals, but do you think this is being too literal?" Ryan asked. "Well, at least you're listening to me." She responded.
"Do I have to salute your presence or should I just smile and wave?" Cloe asked a bit sarcastically. "No saluting necessary." Ryan stated with a smile. "But maybe a formal greeting would be acceptable." Sharpay quickly added. "Yes, Princess." Cloe teased and performed a low bow. "Much better." Sharpay said and smiled at her own joke, "What? I always knew I was special!" Ryan gave her a look that meant he knew she was boasting or stretching the truth.
"I have a minor question." Cloe told Zac and he turned to face her, "What are you going to do with me?" "What do you mean?" Zac questioned a bit confused. "Angel, what are you talking about?" Rachael asked while attempting to stand up on her feet instead of her head. "Oh, I don't know, but I'm getting a strange feeling about this." Cloe explained, "It's almost like I've seen this before. There's something familiar about all of this."
"Do you ever have deja vous?" Zac asked. "Yes. But only on occasion." Cloe answered, not seeing where this was going. "What about having strange dreams that are unexplainable and sometimes come true?" Zac asker her again. "Sometimes." She answered with a shrug. "Really?" Zac thought out loud. "Yes." Cloe repeated.
"I know exactly what we're going to do with you." he explained, "You, my dear, have The Sight." "The Sight?" Cloe asked, raising an eyebrow. "In other words, you're psychic." Zac nodded in agreement. "Okay." Rachael stated even more confused, but had managed to glue herself to the wall, "Let me get this straight. Cloe is psychic, Sharpay is healed, Ryan is on the ceiling, and I'm attached to the wall. Why doesn't that surprise me?"
In an attempt to float back down to the floor, Ryan bumped into a bookcase full of stuffed animals, which fell over, burying Rachael with stuffed toys. "These are only the beginning stages in your powers. Everyone starts out with something different." Zac began, "For instance, Miss. Evans has the power to heal, Mr. Evans has the power to float, and you Miss. Thomas have the power to stick to any surface."
"Is that all?" Sharpay asked, watching Rachael unbury her head. "These are just your beginning powers. The others will come late in your development." Zac reassured. "Can someone help me?" Rachael called. Zac floated over to her and released her from the wall and the stuffed animals.
When she was safe on the floor, she said, "Thanks. I was kind of getting a bit uncomfortable in that pile. One of your teddy bears were getting touchy, Sharpay." "You'll get used to it. Mr. Cuddles was never known to be subtle." She responded.
"Help!" Ryan screamed as he fell from the ceiling and crash-landed on the floor on his back, "That's okay. This…metal brush broke my fall." Cloe rushed over to him. "Are you okay?" she asked as she knelt down beside him and helped him to sit up.
He pulled out the metal hairbrush from where he landed on the floor and said, "I think I'm bruising." Just then, Sharpay sneezed and Ryan stood up. "Eew, Sharpay, you sneezed all over me." Ryan stated. "Well, at least I didn't throw us on you." Sharpay told him in a 'you should be thankful' kind of voice.
Cloe lifted up the back of Ryan's shirt and noticed a huge splotchy bruise. In a split second it was gone. "Well, there's no more bruise, Ryan." Cloe stated putting his shirt back down, "Sharpay sneezed it away." "You're welcome." Sharpay told Ryan abruptly, but with a slight laugh.
(A/N) Okay, you know what I just realized? I've been spelling Miss. Darbus' name wrong this whole time. Why didn't anyone let me know? I won't bother to fix it, so my bad spelling will have to do. But, I'll just go along with the story that I have changed the way her name is spelled for a reason. Does anyone have a reason why? Oh…I got one. I am original and I do not wish to offend those who are original, so I had to change the way the name was spelled! It works for me. R&R!
