Zekepay

1. Sharpay didn't know until after high school but Zeke saved every text message she sent him before they became friends. Be it for him to stop calling her or to bake more cookies, he saved them and stored them in his phone, afraid that the messages would stop coming and the most recent one would be the last.

It was after the first year in college did Sharpay discover the messages. When asked why he saved them, he had no choice but to tell her the truth. It was then that she assured him that no matter what happened, she was determined to be in his life whether he wanted her to be or not. And so, she had helped him delete the saved messages and suddenly, his phone memory space was so much bigger.

2. Although it was unbeknown to them both until they started dating, it was their friends who had set them up. Ryan, Taylor, Kelsi and Gabriella had worked on Sharpay by trying to get her to realize that her feelings for Zeke was definitely outside friendly territory. Troy, Chad and Jason had helped Zeke get over his insecurities about how Sharpay would want someone better, someone richer and more talented than he was.

It was on the second date did they realize that Chad had forced the phone into Zeke's hands to call Sharpay with Troy, Chad, Taylor, Gabriella and Jason with him and Sharpay had answered the call with Ryan and Kelsi in the room.

3. A long-distance relationship was tough but it helped that they both had someone to talk to. When she heard about Chad and Taylor's temporary break-up, Sharpay was terrified that the same thing might happen to her and Zeke. She had called Zeke almost immediately after hearing about it and had freaked out about how the same thing would happen to them. Zeke had calmed her down with just a few simple sentences.

"As long as we are sure of our feelings, Sharpay, nothing is going to tear us apart. Chad and Taylor will soon realize that they're being stupid and that their love for each other is enough for them to overcome any obstacles in the way. It's the same way I feel about you. I love you, Sharpay. And nobody and nothing will ever change that."

It was the first time he had said he loved her. And she said it back almost immediately, almost finally accepting that Zeke was the one for her at that very moment even though she never knew why.

4. Sharpay's marriage proposal for Zeke was sudden. She had been caught up in the moment of accepting that Zeke was the right man for her that she just blurted her question out. She never regretted it though.

To say that Zeke had been shocked was an understatement but to say that he was pleased was another one. He'd sometimes felt that Sharpay thought she deserved better than him and her proposal meant that she was ready to accept him even with his imperfections. They eloped that very night.

5. The reactions of their families were pretty funny. The Baylors had been shocked at first. Zeke's mother and Aaron, his stepfather were at a loss for words before Priscilla had burst into tears and rushed forward to hug her son and new daughter-in-law to congratulate them and about having grandchildren. The thought of having grandchildren earlier than they planned made both Zeke and Sharpay cringe and Aaron had laughed at their faces before congratulating them himself. Priscilla and Aaron did, however, convince them to have a proper wedding where they could celebrate with their families and friends.

To break the news to her parents, Sharpay had marched into the family dining room where her parents, Ryan and Kelsi were having breakfast with Zeke's hand firmly clasped in hers. Her parents gaped at her while Ryan and Kelsi looked confused. When she announced that she was married, her father spit out his orange juice, her mother screamed, Ryan stared at her and Kelsi jumped up and down to congratulate her. It was ten minutes later that the questions came after they had all gotten over their shock.

6. They had their first child after a year of being married to one another. It was tough at first but they got through it together. Through their years together, they had three sons and a daughter; Priestley James, Carter Prince and the twins, Jason Gabriel (often called Gabriel to avoid confusion) and Marina Ashley. Their godson, Matthew John Cross was like one of their own and they took him in without a moment's hesitation when his father passed away.

7. By the time Priestley attended East High, Sharpay had joined the faculty as the assistant drama teacher and Zeke had owned a restaurant the second generation of Wildcats hung out at regularly.

8. Sharpay had freaked out when she had found out that her daughter had fallen for a West High student. She was aware of the rivalry between East High and West High and had been worried that her only daughter might get hurt. It was Gabriella who had calmed her down and told her that Marina was a sensible girl who knew what she was getting into.

Zeke, on the other hand, took a whole of two months to recover from the shock of his daughter liking then dating a West High Knight. He had almost forbade his daughter from seeing the West High scum but a simple, yet full force, glare from Sharpay stopped him from doing so. It was only after Marina had threatened to run away and elope with The Scum like he and Sharpay had done if he did not accept them did he finally calm down. He could have sworn that Sharpay was smiling proudly at her daughter that day.

Her brothers, on the other hand, was a different story.

9. Priestley had inherited his mother's passion for drama and Gabriel had inherited his father's passion for cooking. And even thought the rest of their children had developed interests of their own (Matt had become a fireman, Marina had been the youngest teacher in East High and Carter became a famous director), Sharpay and Zeke had always been proud of their accomplishment as good parents.

10. Sharpay left first at the age of 79 whilst she was sleeping. She left slowly and quietly without a dramatic exit. Three years later, Zeke passed away from pneumonia with the picture of him and his beloved held closely to his heart.
