-Chapter 4: Kalahari Resort-

(June 2009.)

(Troyella's Hotel Room)

"Hey! I recognize that bikini," Troy stated as Gabriella walked out of the their bathroom dressed in a white charm-ring string bikini that had gold-toned charms of two seashells and one starfish and the matching pair of white charm-ring string bikini bottoms, both from Old Navy.

"You should. You bought it for me at ON and you also bought this, this, and this," Gabriella said as she held up a black metallic-gauze swim cover-up before slipping it over her head, a pair of black new metallic flip-flops before she put them on her feet, and a pair of gold women's rimless aviator sunglasses before she put them on her eyes, all from Troy who bought them at Old Navy when he took her shopping.

"That I did," Troy answered before repeating her actions, "And you bought all of these."

"That I did," Gabriella replied, repeating Troy's words as he pointed to his black ON polo, a pair of black and white plaid ON boardshorts, a pair of men's rimless aviators from ON, and a pair of adidas men's slides.

"So, you got everything in your tote?" Troy asked before he picked up her white Juicy Couture beach tote.

"Yep, I double checked and made sure that we had our towels, goggles, a change of cloths, and all of that other stuff along with our wallets," Gabriella replied with a smile.

"And why did you say our wallets? You know you don't have to bring yours because I buy you everything and anything you want when your with me," Troy said.

"I know, I know, it's for emergencies. I still don't like you buying things for me when I'm with you because if you keep at it you're going to go broke," Gabriella replied.

"Nah, you don't go Sharpay crazy so, I don't have nothing to worry about," Troy replied with a smile as he laced his hand with hers and led her out of their room, shutting the door behind them.

"Oh, believe me when we get to L.A. you won't want to buy me everything and anything I want," Gabriella informed him.

"And why not? What would make me rethink buying you things?" Troy asked her.

"Because then I turn into Sharpay crazy, times fourteen," Gabriella replied with a smirk before she skipped off and over to her mom, dad, and brother as they reached the lobby.

"Oh God!" Troy mumbled before he seriously began rethinking it, even though he knew he won't change his mind.


(Kalahari Resort)

"This place is so cool," Gabriella said as her family, Cristy, and the Boltons put their things in their indoor bungalow they rented for the day as did everyone else who were in their bungalows at the moment.

And she was right, it was a cool resort because they had their own indoor waterpark with a waterpark too. Plus it had that whole African theme going for it, making it defiantly look like an African safari.

"It totally is," Cristy replied as she slipped out of her denim short shorts to reveal her black string bikini bottoms that had little neon pink hearts all over it before she took off her white cami to reveal her matching string bikini top.

"I know! And I love your bikini," Gabriella replied with a smile.

"Thanks I love yous too! Where'd you get it?"

"I got it at Old Navy…or should I say Troy got it, along with the rest of this outfit, from Old Navy because he wouldn't let me pay or carry my own bags, sometimes I think he thinks I'm helpless," Gabriella replied.

"No helpless. You're just a beautiful, amazing, loved goddess who I love to buy anything and everything for," Troy butted in as he walked over, wrapped an arm around her tanned and toned petite waist before placing a kiss on the top of her head.

"Aw, you guys are so…. what's the word I'm looking for?" Cristy asked no one in particular.

"Cute?" Inez asked.

"Adorable?" Lucille replied.

"Sickeningly sweet?" Brett asked before he got whacked on the head by his mom and girlfriend.

"Breathtakingly cute and downright amazing for each other," Sharpay stated, not asked, because to her and to everyone or anyone everywhere and anywhere it was the downright truth because you could defiantly see it.

"Thanks, Sharpay! That's defiantly what I was looking for," Cristy replied.

"Aw. Well, thank you all of you, except Brett," Gabriella replied to all of them.

"Hey! I said you guys were sweet!" Brett exclaimed with a pout.

"With sickeningly in front of it there babe," Cristy replied to her pouting boyfriend.

"Alright, alright. I give," Brett said causing everyone to laugh.

"FlowRiders!" The males exclaimed together with "hearts" in their eyes as they looked at the ride.

Sighing and with little trill about going on it, they headed over with the males and got in line with Troy and Gabriella leading the their group, well Troy technically leaning it because he was in the front of all of them with his hands/arms behind him holding onto Gabriella's hands so, she didn't try to escape from riding this ride.

"Alright young man, you're up! So, do you got what it takes?" The Gatekeeper, Stan, asked Troy as he grabbed the Flowboard.

"I sure do," Troy replied confidently before he positioned his front from on the Flowboard at approximately sixteen inches from the front of the board and the his back foot approximately four inches from the tail of the board, placing his weight primarily on his back foot.

"Whoa! You're good kid!" Stan told Troy who smiled as he rode the five foot wave like a pro.

"He should be, he's skateboarded all his life…well, when he wasn't playing basketball or sucking face with Gabster," Chad replied before he got whacked on the back of the head by Brett, Greg, Taylor, Sharpay, and his mom for talking about Gabriella that way.

"Well, he's good and I take it your…um, Gabster?" Stan asked.

Gabriella giggled at the look he gave when he said her name was Gabster before she held out her hand and replied, "Hi, I'm Gabriella, Chad just likes to call me Gabster."

"Well, very nice to meet you young lady. So, is that your boy there?" Stan asked her as he admired her body without her knowing.

"Yeah, he's mine," Gabriella replied as she watched Troy ride it like a pro before he finally reached the bottom.

"That was awesome!" Troy exclaimed as he handed Gabriella the Flowboard and kissed her lips lightly before he glared at Stan for checking her out.

"Sorry," Stan mumbled back to Troy, before he asked, "So, Gabriella are you going to be Bodyboarding or doing what your boy did and go Flowboarding?"

"I think I'm not going to do this ride," Gabriella replied.

"Ah, come on Brie! Where's that daredevil I know is in you?" Troy asked her as he pulled her back lightly by her hand.

"Sleeping still," Gabriella replied.

"Then wake it up because you're doing this because if I can do this then you can do this," Troy replied and when he saw that Gabriella wouldn't give in he used his special "weapon", the famous Bolton puppy dog look.

"Oh God! Fine, but after I go Sharpay has to go," Gabriella stated.

Before Sharpay could answer, Troy shot her a pleading look before Sharpay sighed and answered, "You got it!"

"Oh thanks Shar-Bear!" Gabriella replied sarcastically.

"Welcome, Hun!" Sharpay replied.

"So, what'll it be Gabriella?" Stan asked her.

"I'll…bodyboard," Gabriella replied before she turned to Troy as he was about to open his mouth and object she said, "I know you taught me how to skateboard, but you know I only do that when you're right there with me so, if you want me to go, you have to let me do this my way, Bodyboarding. Deal?"

"Deal," Troy replied before he kissed her and said, "You got this baby! I know you do!"

Everyone got their cameras ready and began either taking pictures or making videos as Gabriella lied down on her stomach on the bodyboard so, she was head first with her hips along were along the rear edge of the board and her legs were extended straight behind her. They all cheered too as she grabbed the forward rails of the board and began to ride the five-foot wave like a pro.

Soon later, everyone from their group rode the ride and the only ones who wiped out were Sharpay, Kelsi, Taylor, some of the moms, Cristy, Chad, and Jason.

"Wait before we go I want a picture of the wipe out group and the pro group," Gabriella exclaimed so, together everyone took pictures of each group and then took one together in front of the ride before Troy and Gabriella then Sharpay and Gabriella took one before they headed to the next ride which Jasmine chose which was the Victoria Falls.

"Alright so, it's only five in a tube so, who wants to go with who?" Greg asked.

"We call Gabriella," Martha, Kelsi, Sharpay, and Taylor yelled each grabbing onto Gabriella and pulling her away from Troy who, glared at them before sighing and deciding to ride with the boys.

"Alright so, we've got those girls in one tube, the boys in another, the siblings in one, the moms in one, and us dads in one so, I take it now that that's settled it's time to get in line so, let's go!" Greg said.

Soon later, Gabriella's tube was sailing down the yellow covered dark tube as the girls squealed in happiness, yelled if they got surprised by a dip or drop or curve, and took pictures before they landed in the pool of water that was at the end of the slide.

"Oh. My. Lanta! That was so much fun! I love you girls!" Sharpay said as she wiped water from her eyes before they took pictures and then put their tube away.

"We love you too!" The other four girls replied.

"Look here come our dads!" Taylor asked and immediately each girl got their waterproof digital cameras out and took pictures of them landing in the water.

"Have fun daddy?" Gabriella asked her dad after he emerged from the water with the rest of the dads.

"Yeah, how was your ride down here?" Greg asked his daughter as he kissed her temple before he put the tube away.

"It was awesome. Us girls had fun and took some pretty crazy pictures, but then again what's to expect of us when we're together," Gabriella replied.

After taking more pictures after the ride they just went on, they headed to the next ride which was the Zip Coaster.

"Alright so, since Kelsi is riding with Jason, seeing as we're doing couples, let them go first so, Kelsi can get back in time to ride with her sister," Jack stated and everyone let Jason and Kelsi in front of them with Jasmine in the back so, when Kelsi was done she would join her little sister on the ride.

"Brie, I want you to go up front, okay?" Troy asked as it was their turn to go on the Zip Coaster.

"Alright," Gabriella replied knowing that he was doing it so, he could keep an eye on her incase she got hurt.

So, together they got in the orange and black tube with Troy in the back and Gabriella in the front, and soon after waving their group goodbye, their tube began a speedy climb up the lift. Once the lift was done their 20 mile per hour and weightlessness ride began. The propelled through 500 incredible feet and 30 gripping seconds of free falls dips, and high-banking turns, all the while on the open flumes and enclosed turns geysers blasted throughout it for added excitement.

"That was awesome!" Troy and Gabriella stated together and giving each other a high five once they were done and off the ride, but not before taking a quick picture.

"So while we're waiting for the rest of our group, do you want to head over to the Tanzanian Twister and wait for the rest of the group?" Troy asked her.

"Sure and maybe along the way see we get a little lost because we're making out?" Gabriella asked with a smirk.

"God! I love the way you think," Troy mumbled before he drug a giggling Gabriella away.

"Um, guys?" Chad asked as they all stood in line for Tanzanian Twister.

"Yeah?" Zeke answered as their group members turned to look at them.

"Where's Troy and Gabster at?"

"You know what, for once son that is a good question. Where are Troy and Gabriella at?" Kyle asked.

"Don't ask me," Taylor replied.

"Or me!" Sharpay replied a little too quickly.

"Sharpay, do you know where they are?" Inez asked with a worried tone in her voice incase something happened to her baby.

"Yeah." Sharpay said with a sigh before she pointed over at a couple who were having fun on the Lazy River, tipping each others tubes over, laughing, cuddling, dunking each other, splashing each other, and just having fun together like they were the only two in the world and two them they were because they cared for each other more than anything and that, in their books, what love was.

So, they all just decided to leave the couple alone and go on about their business until they were done with that ride that was and they dragged Troy and Gabriella around with them for the rest of the day, having fun.
