A/N: Hey guys! I decided to skip doing the Jimmie Z, Tiara and Donny D for the mean time because I didn't really feel connected to them as I did to the other characters… Stupid reason, yeah, but I've been meaning to write the next few chapters so bear with me, yeah? And my sincerest apologies to those of you who like the three characters I previously mentioned…
Troyella
1. Their journey started on the night of New Years' Eve in 2005. Though neither of them knew it then, they were both about to embark on the wildest, craziest and happiest times of their lives. It was years later did they realize the significance of the resort where they had met and it was that same resort that became their wedding venue and their favorite vacation place.
2. Gabriella had never felt so hurt when she heard Troy saying that she was unimportant and Troy had never knew that saying those words would be so hard to say until he actually said it. Neither had also never been angrier with their friends when they found out about their plans. They felt betrayed, hurt and angry that they had been fooled by their own people. But they felt so much better, so much happier, when they finally made up and it pleased them that their friends were with them. Through good times and bad.
3. It was Gabriella who had noticed the change in Troy during the summer way before anyone did. She had never been more scared for their relationship at that point of time. What if Troy realized that Sharpay was better than her? That Sharpay was richer, more beautiful than her and could actually help him go far in life? It wasn't until after they made up did she confront him about her fears. She would never forget the way he had looked at her with so much love and had said,
"You are the most beautiful girl in the world, Gabriella. And no other girl, no matter how rich or famous she is, could ever replace you."
Sure, it was cheesy, but hey, he had meant it.
4. Although Troy had never admitted it to anyone but his son, a selfish part of him had wanted Gabriella to stay with him and not go to Stamford. A selfish part of him wanted her to always be by his side and not be many miles away from him. But the part of him that loved her too much, the part of him that gave him the strength and hope that Gabriella would always be there for him, enabled him to help her make the right choice. And both he and Gabriella were proud of him for doing so.
5. The hardest time of their relationship was during their college period. Yes, their colleges were close and yes, they saw each other more than Chad and Taylor or Zeke and Sharpay saw each other, but it was still hard for they both kept fearing that the other would eventually find someone better than them. And though many people had not expected them to last (the 2 of them being one of the many people sometimes), they did.
6. Troy spent 2 months looking for the perfect ring in shopping malls but only got the perfect one from his mother. He knew it was the perfect ring the moment he looked at it. He could see it on Gabriella's finger and of her saying yes to him. And it was with Chad's, Ryan's, Zeke's and Jason's encouragement did he gather up the courage for Troyella to be the first engaged then married couple in their group of friends.
7. When their first baby was born, he reminded Gabriella so much of her deceased father. And though she had mentioned that she wanted her first-born named after her father only once before their wedding, Troy remembered it and suggested the name even before she had the time to think about it. Their first baby, Daniel Jack Bolton, had his mother's hair and his father's eyes. He was a beautiful baby boy.
8. They were always proud of how they raised their children. Their children cared about each other no matter how much they argued and they were protective of one another. Daniel Jack, Elizabeth Faith, Bradley Chad, Nathaniel Jason and Andrea Kelsi were each named after someone important to their parents and they loved them for it. For though many people had weird, yet extravagant, names (mainly Sharpay's and Zeke's kids), theirs were normal but beautiful names. It was also their close bond and relationship did the world and people around them envy.
9. Their daughter, Elizabeth Faith Bolton, was the first one to get married. And both of them had freaked out about their children growing up too fast. At that time, their youngest child was already 13. It was Lucille, Jack and Maria who had talked to them and calmed them down and told them that they should be pretty darn proud of their children. Yes, they were growing up, but they would forever be their babies.
10. Gabriella had died first at the age of 76. She had been sleeping beside her husband when death finally claimed her. And though Troy was distraught, he had his family and friends to help him through his time without her in hopes of seeing her again soon. And Troy did. A year later, he was found on the same bed Gabriella had died with the picture of his beloved in his hands, his eyes fluttered close and he was no longer breathing. He did, however, have a tender smile on his face.
