Chapter 9: Orlando Odyssey

At 8 o'clock sharp the gang met in the lobby of the hotel. "I'm hungry." Chad whined.

"Ya know, it's precious when Jason whines Chad," Gabby began, "but it's just plain annoying when you do it." She yawned, she hadn't had her coffee yet. Chad quickly shut up and everyone agreed.

Troy came back into the room, followed by Zeke and the guys were carrying 10 cups of coffee. "This should quiet him down for about 30 minutes baby." Troy told Gabby as he handed Chad a muffin.

"Thanks baby." She gratefully accepted the cup of coffee with sugar that Troy offered her. They quickly piled into two cars and began to make the long journey to Orlando. They stopped in a Waffle House on the way to eat a cheap, but yummy breakfast, and continued on their way.

Once they got in, the first thing they did was hit Starbucks. As Gabby sipped on her frappicino she praised the lord for Starbucks, "I've been seriously deprived." She explained as the gang laughed at her. They then began their marathon shopping.

They first went into Forever 21, once they had a pile of clothes they began trying them on and modeling them for the guys. This went on for hours. Finally they came to Body Shop. Somehow they managed to convince Chad try on a girls outfit. As they all waited patiently for him to come out they realized that he had locked himself in one of the dressing rooms.

Taylor marched back there and began banging on the door, "Chadwick Scott Danforth you better get you ass out here right this instant." When there was no response. Sharpay came back with a cute worker in tow.

"This is the one I've locked myself out of." She flirted with him, "My purse and everything is in there." She batted her eyelashes and the guy swiftly opened the door. "Thanks honey." She made sure not to let him in, she just stuck her hand in between the door and the wall. Once he was gone Sharpay went in and dragged Chad out.

Everyone began laughing, Chad had on a bright blue miniskirt, a tight black v-neck top, and rainbow stilettos on his feet. Kelsi thought quickly and untied the white scarf from around her neck and put it on Chad's. They all began snapping pictures with their phones and cameras before they allowed Chad to change into his street clothes once again.

About 15 minutes before the gang began to head out to the car Troy's phone began vibrating. "Hello." He answered it, as he struggled with Ella's bags that he wouldn't let her carry. "Oh hey dad, what's up?"

"Troy, you guys have reservations at the Marriott near Islands of Adventure. At the front desk are one-day, park hopping passes for each of you. Enjoy. Just be back here by 11. You still have school on Monday. And Gabby can stay at the hotel. Tell her Gilligan's doing fine at her grandmothers." Jack replied

"Seriously? Dad you guys are amazing!" Everyone had stopped to watch Troy, who had dropped all of Ella's bags, "We'll see you by 11 tomorrow night. Thanks again Dad!" With that they hung up. Troy quickly relayed the message to his friends who cheered as they made their way to their cars.

Once they found the hotel, after being lost for about an hour. They lugged their bags upstairs. "You know Troy, it's a very good thing that we made you guys buy clothes." Gabby said as she and Troy settled down in their rooms. Since their parents weren't here they decided to couple off, well, it wasn't like they'd care anyways.

"Yeah I guess you girls are pretty smart after all." He replied as they began to unpack what little they had.

"Gee thanks for the vote of confidence." Gabby sarcastically said.

The gang met in Gabby and Troy's room and ordered a ton of food for dinner. They then settled down for a quiet evening of rented movies on the T.V.

The next day they were up bright and early. The checked out of the hotel, loaded up their cars and headed over to the parks. They had breakfast there and went on every ride at each park.

Finally, after an eventful day they headed home, or well to Inverness anyways. They got in about 9:30, thanked the Bolton's and rolled into bed for a good night's rest before school the next day.

AN: okay so this was an awful chapter but I gave myself the weirdest set-up and didn't know what to do with it. So, review!
