(Troyella's room- 9AM)

"And why did I wake up without you this morning?" Troy lazily asked Gabriella as she walked back into their hotel room.

"Sorry, I thought I told you that I was having breakfast with my family before Brett, my dad, and I go away for the day to celebrate Father's Day?" Gabriella said as she threw her zip up hoodie she was wearing in the suitcase that now contained her dirty laundry.

"Nope, don't ring a…bell," Troy replied as he watched as the beautiful girl took off her cami right there and then and walked over to the closet and grabbed a bikini, shorts, and a zip up hoodie along with flip flops and a bag.

"Okay," Gabriella replied with a smile before she pecked him on the lips.

"Mm," Troy said as he pulled her to lay on top of him on the bed so, he could deepen the kiss while his hands, with minds of their own, explored her curves.

"Mm, as much as I love this and would love to continue this I really can't because I'm leaving in like ten minutes," Gabriella said as she kissed him one last time and then pulled away.

Troy just groaned and folded his arms over his eyes.

"I'm sorry babe, but you know how important it is for me to spend today with my daddy and Brett," Gabriella told him as she sat on the edge of the bed and leaned down to kiss his right shoulder.

"I know, I'm sorry baby it's just…" Troy started as he removed his arms from his eyes so, he could lock their eyes while his hand moved up to her face to caress her cheek.

"I know and I promise soon we will, but right now I need to get ready," Gabriella told him before adding, "And don't you have to get ready to have a day of fun with your dad and the boys?"

"Uh, don't remind me," Troy replied.

"Why? Don't you like spending time with your dad…and your friends…along with their dads?" Gabriella asked as she caressed his cheek with a soft smile.

"Yeah, I actually love spending time with my dad when he's not holding that whole U of A thing over my head so, it's always making me have guilty feelings about it…and I don't want to spend today with Chad and his dumb and sarcastic comments!"

"Troy! Chad is your best friend how dare you say something like that! You've been friends with him since preschool!"

"And remind me again why I picked him?" Troy said half serious and half jokingly.

"Don't ask me that because I defiantly wouldn't know, I didn't live in New Mexico then, remember?," Gabriella sweetly reminded him.

"I know, but it kinda seems like you've been…"

"Been in New Mexico forever and have been friends with the wildcats and your girlfriend turned fiancee forever. Like I was never the new girl, the freaky math girl," Gabriella interrupted with a soft knowing smile.

"Yeah. I love you freaky math girl," Troy replied softly.

"I love you too, freaky callback boy," Gabriella replied with a giggle as she kissed him before she jumped up and went into the bathroom to change into her bikini, shorts, zip up hoodie, and flip flops.

"Now, I must tell you that I've never seen that bikini before," Troy stated as Gabriella walked out of the bathroom five minutes later dressed in a Hurley king road reversible halter bikini top with most likely the bottoms underneath her denim shorts.

"That's because it's new, Cristy bought it for me," Gabriella replied as she put her daily necessities into her Victoria's Secret PINK beach tote along with a towel.

"Well, it's a perfect fit," Troy told her.

"It is and try to control checking me out next time," Gabriella replied smartly as she slipped on a pair of Chanel black framed sunglasses over her eyes.

"Now Brie, you know I can't stop ever checking you out and can you blame me I have a hot fiancee who will hopefully tie the knot with me soon, as in really, really soon," Troy hinted.

Gabriella just smiled and nodded as she took off her jewelry including the T necklace and the engagement ring so, it didn't get worried in the water like it almost did when she almost forgot to take them off when they went to Soak City. "Keep them safe for me? And please don't let another girl steal your heart while I'm gone?"

"Never baby, you know that,'' Troy replied as he stood from the bed and walked over to her just dressed in boxers and wrapped his arms around her tanned and toned petite waist.

"I know, it's just my fears getting to me again," Gabriella told him as she rested her head on his chest.

"I know baby, but just remember that I love you and only you,'' he reminded her as he kissed the top of her head.


(Derby's and Vance's Hotel Room)

"So where did Gabriella and Brett take Greg at?" Cristy asked Inez as she, Quincy, and the moms all sat around Derby's and Vance's hotel room talking and hanging out while the others were away with their dads.

"They took him to the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo. They all love animals so, they thought it would be a fun thing to do," Inez answered before she took a sip of her Pepsi.

"Cool," Cristy replied before she asked the other moms, "Where did your kids go with their dads, if you don't mind me asking?"

"Well, Jack and Troy are playing basketball with the boys and their dads," Lucille replied with a soft smile.

"Except for Ryan who along with Sharpay took their dad to the PlayhouseSquare to see the performance of Falstaff which is pure opera which is pure Shakespearean. And then to the Cleveland Museum of Art," Derby replied kindly.

"Monica and Taylor took their dad to the Great Lakes Science Center and to explore the West Side Market," June replied.

"Kelsi and Jasmine took their dad to the Cleveland Museum of Natural History and then to see the USS Cod, a World War II submarine," Miranda replied.

"And Martha took her dad to Progressive Field, home of the Cleveland Indians so, they could get a tour of an actual Major League Baseball Field. Then after that, she's going to finish the day off with taking him to see Oldenburg and van Bruggen's Free Stamp which is located in Willard Park to the east of City Hall," Lynn finished off.

"So, all the girls along with Brett and Ryan took their dads to Cleveland while the other boys and dad's stayed here to play basketball all day. Wow, that must seem like a good Father's Day to spend all day playing basketball," Quincy replied.

"Oh shush! You know you would be out their two," June told her oldest daughter's boyfriend who just smiled guilty because she was right.

"Seriously, though all day playing basketball doesn't that kinda seem like a boring Father's Day I mean I love basketball and all, but I wouldn't do that for my dad as much as he loves it too," Cristy asked.

"Oh no, you see sweetie with those males this is the best Father's Day ever," Lucille replied.

"Okay, I see that now," Cristy remembered before she excused herself so, she could go call her dad.


(6PM)

"Have fun?" Lucille asked the sweaty and stinky males that were playing basketball as they all entered Derby's and Vance's room.

"Yep!" the males chorused together as they walked over to the mini fridge and all grabbed a bottle of water or Gatorade or a pop.

"So, Brie back yet?" Troy asked Inez as he sat between them and after he kissed them each on the cheek.

"They should be here in the next ten minutes because at seven we have dinner reservations Olive Garden," Inez replied.

"Oh cool. So, momma I'm taking dad to Pizza Hunt for dinner want to come?" Troy asked him mom.

"Sure, I will baby," Lucille replied with a soft smile before she left to go get ready and soon everyone else followed.


(Troyella's Hotel Room- 6:10 PM)

"Hola Wildcat!" Gabriella greeted her fiancee as she walked into their room…dripping wet?

"Hola Brie. And may I ask what happened to you because I'm pretty sure when you left here you were dry," Troy replied with a smirk, his arms crossed over his chest.

"Haha. Well, for you information my dad decided to have a little fun with Brett and I and pushed us into the pool as were heading to the elevator," Gabriella replied with a slight glare.

Troy chuckled and decided that he would be the Romeo that he was and went to start her shower for her. And as he thought of starting a luke warm shower for her, a thought came to his mind about joining her, now that was defiantly a brilliant idea.

------

"Now that was some shower," Troy replied as he got out and wrapped a big brown fluffy towel around his waist before he took the other one and wrapped it around Gabriella's body before he lifted her up in his arms so, her arms were around his neck and her legs were around his torso.

"I've always wanted to do that," Gabriella informed him followed by a giggle as he sat her down on the counter and began running a brush through her hair.

"Me too," Troy replied with a chuckle before he left the bathroom after he finished her hair and gave her a kiss with an 'I love you'.

Thirty minutes later, Troy sat on the bed admiring his fiancee who did a twirl in front of him to ask if she looked okay, but to him, like always, she looked more than okay she looked downright b-e-a-utiful.

She was dressed in a black strapless sweetheart neckline party dress with a sashed tie around the back, a zigzag print throughout the dress the fell to her knees. Her cascading waves were piled up on top of her head exactly like the way she wore it when they sang Everyday at Lava Springs between Junior and Senior Year. Her make-up was in beautiful smokey shades with bright red lipstick on her lips, a black beaded necklace around her neck, no earrings or bracelets, and the only ring was the engagement ring on her left ring finger.

"You look beautiful as always," Troy said as his nose caught a whiff of her Pink Ice perfume that was from rue21.

"Why thank you and I guess I should get going. I'll see you later handsome?" Gabriella said as she grabbed a black satin wrap and a black clutch.

"Of course. I love you," Troy replied as he lightly kissed her forehead.

"I love you too," Gabriella replied as she lightly kissed his lips before she left the room.


(Olive Garden-7:30PM)

It was halfway through dinner when Gabriella stood and clinked her glass to get her parents', Brett's, and Cristy's attention, "Thank you. First, I would like to say that I hope you had fun daddy today. I would also like to add when you push me in the pool next time please warn me so, I can run."

Brett, Greg, Inez, and Cristy all laughed at Gabriella's comment and kept smiling as she continued, "And third, I wrote you a little poem for you and it's called 'Dear Daddy', I hope you like it. Dear Daddy, I wake up in the morning and I know there's nothing to hide. I can always be myself with my daddy by my side. Oh daddy, how I wish that I could be like you, not a fear in sight and always knowing what to do. Without you I'd be lost, I'd wonder around in fright, but whenever I am with you, to me it seams so, bright. I know you'd never leave me, never let me wonder astray and though sometimes you may get angry, I know you love me either way. I do my best to be good because I never want you to leave. I mean it daddy, you're like my best friend. Yeah, you better believe it! I hope you remember this and whenever you feel blue just remember about all the people that really care for you. With you always standing next to me, I know not to be afraid. Thanks daddy, I love you so much."

By the end of the poem, Greg had tears in his eyes so, when he got up and went around to hug Gabriella he pulled her into his arms and together they comforted each other with their daddy and baby girl love….

TBC….


Well, Happy Father's Day to all the dad's out there and to the males who aren't yet because you never know when that special angel will appear in your life. And remember to show your dad love, I know I will. So, please do that and remember to review, I love you all and for those of you reading "America's First Family'' I should be updating it very, very soon, I hope. And the same thing could be said about me updating "The Start of Something New". Toodles.
