"Wanna play truth or dare?" Taylor suggested after Never Have I Ever was done and Gabriella had won.

"Sure," everyone agreed.

"Okay, I'll start," Ryan said. "Truth or dare…Chad?"

"Dare. I always take dares. I'm tough like that," Chad said, proudly.

"Ugh, could your ego get any bigger?" Sharpay demanded sharply.

"There's always room for more," Troy muttered. Gabriella giggled.

"Alrighty then," Ryan said. "I dare you to put on one of Taylor's dresses and run out in the street singing 'Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star'."

"Seems simple enough," Chad said happily, rising to his feet.

"Ooh, I'll help you pick one out," Sharpay squealed, jumping to her feet and following him out of the room.

"Guys," Taylor whispered.

"What?" Troy, Gabriella, and Ryan asked in unison.

"I've decided I want to plan Sharpay a surprise party this weekend, since it is her birthday and all…"

"Awesome!" Troy agreed.

"Oh, baby," Ryan laughed. Gabriella smiled. "Hey, wait, it's my birthday, too."

Taylor ignored him. "But, I'm gonna need your guys' help. Ryan, you can handle taking her to Chad's place at like 6:00, can't you? You know, since Chad's parents are going away for the weekend and all." Taylor explained.

"Sure," Ryan shrugged. "I'll just tell her we're going shoe shopping, she'll definitely want to go with me…"

"Okay, so we've got that covered." Taylor smiled.

"I can handle snacks and drinks," Troy volunteered.

"I can do decorations," Gabriella suggested.

"Alright, cool," Taylor nodded, eagerly. "That leaves me and Chad with entertainment. Is that okay with you guys?" Everyone nodded as Sharpay skipped down the stairs.

"Introducing…the one and only…duhn duhn duhn duhn…Chadwick Danforth!" Sharpay sang as Chad walked down the stairs in a blue, sparkly dress.

"That's my boy!" Taylor teased. Chad chuckled and walked to the door.

"So how long do I have to do this?" Chad asked.

"Five minutes?" Gabriella suggested.

"That should be fine," Ryan agreed. Everyone laughed as Chad stepped onto the porch.

"Twinkle, twinkle, little star…!" Chad sang, running out of view into the darkness of the night.

SIX MINUTES LATER:

Chad turned to Troy in the circle on the floor. "Truth or dare, Troy?" He asked, knowing Troy would pick truth.

"Truth, duh, like I would let you give me a dare of all people," Troy replied, rolling his eyes.

Chad grinned evilly. "Who was your fantasy about?"

Troy's cheeks reddened and he shook his head. "You have to tell," Sharpay warned, waggling a finger in his face.

"No…" Troy shook his head again. "There's no way I'm telling you guys."

"C'mon, it'll never leave this room!" Taylor begged.

"But, she's in this room!" Troy shot back.

"At least we know it's a girl," Ryan muttered under his breath.

"Hey, guys, why don't you ask him something else?" Gabriella cut in. "He's obviously not letting up any time soon."

"Fine," Chad huffed. "Have you ever had a weird craving and what was it?"

"Um, yeah, it was pickle juice," Troy said. The girls scrunched up their noses. The guys high-fived.

"Okay, truth or dare, Gabriella?" Troy asked.

"Um, I'll be safe and go with truth," Gabriella replied, shyly.

"Okay, when was the last time you ever liked a guy?"

Gabriella blushed. "Honestly, I like someone right now. But I won't tell, because you guys might know him. Truth or dare, Shar?" Troy felt a sudden pang of jealousy. What is my deal?! He asked himself. I only just met her!!

"Dare," Sharpay said. And then, added, "As long as I can't break my nail in this one."

Gabriella smiled. "Okay, I dare you to go jump in Taylor's pool with all your clothes on."

Sharpay's jaw dropped. "Are you kidding?! Do you know how cold that water is?"

"I'll save you if you freeze," Gabriella giggled. "I'm lifeguard trained."

"Becha can't dive like me, Gabby," Sharpay teased.

"Oh, it's on, Pay," Gabriella laughed. "Like flies on jelly."

"Speaking of flies…" Taylor interrupted. "Don't you wish that you could be a fly on the wall?" Then, all the girls began to sing in imitated voices of Miley Cyrus.

"A sneaky, little, creepy, little, fly on the wall…All my precious secrets, yeah, you know them all. Don't you wish that you could be a fly on the wall?!" The boys looked at them like they were crazy.

Troy picked Gabriella up and threw her over his shoulder. "We're goin' for a little swim with Pay Pay," he murmured in her ear.

"You think so?!" Gabriella giggled.

Troy grinned. "I know so." And with that note, he threw her into the pool.
