At funeral
Mausoleum. A beautiful ivory-colored coffin sits on a pedestal amongst the flowers. Demi, Taylor, Troy, Chad, Sharpay, and Nana are seated close to the priestess. Demi, Sharpay and Taylor dab at their eyes and Troy and Chad keeps his eyes peeled for any trouble. The funeral program, which bares the symbol of the triquetrous above the name, read: "GABRIELLA ANNE MONTEZ, 1970-2001; "Forever in our Hearts."
Priestess: That which belongs to fellowship and love. That which belongs to the circle, remains with us. The wheel turns. As life is a day, so Gabriella has passed into night. Nothing is final, and we who remain behind know that one day, we will once again share the bread and wine with her. O' blessed spirit, we bid you farewell, for you await a new destiny.
(With that, she unties the silver cord and gently lays it into the chalice. She blows out the candles. Mourners standing, shaking hands, crying, etc. Sharpay goes over to Demi and Taylor to hug them and people begin to pay their respects. Demi thanks another mourner, then turns to the last of the mourners,)
Man: I'm so sorry for your loss.
Demi: Thank you. (sad)

Demi: What destiny? Okay. It's over. It's done. Mom is gone. And I…
Nana: I know, sweetie. I know... but if there's one thing you've learned over the last 15 years, it's that there's a reason for everything... which means there's a reason for this, too. You're destiny still waits.

Sharpay: Demi? Sweet?
Demi: Yeah Shar?
Sharpay: come on I have kind surprises for you..
Demi: Okay, (walk out of the room, slower walk downstairs) what is it?
Taylor,Sharpay,Troy,Chad and Nana: SURPRISE!?!? (An eruption of cheers, yells, colorful balloons and puffs of glitter shot towards Demi like a bullet from gun)
The entire group of family stood before her, holding presents and glasses of wines. Their faces were bright with smiles, welcoming, cheerful in themselves. Above them, a large blue and white banner read, "Happy Birthday Demi"
Demi stood in shock, her vision blurring up with tears as she surveyed the family coldly.
Demi: (shriek with outrage) Celebrate? What are fuck you think my mom dead! She not here my birthday!
Chad: Don't start Demi..
Demi: (shout) CELEBRATE! SHE IS NOT HERE MY BRITHDAY! (SOBBING)
Taylor: Anyone is not your problem, Demi, and you know it.
Demi: (sobbing and look at her)
Taylor: You think we abandoned you. You think it's our fault that Mom died. You blame us. You should just admit it.
Sharpay: You don't want to see mom, Demi, you don't even want see her. It's not about me. It's not about Taylor, is it?
Taylor: Troy! Please take her bring to see her.
Troy hold her! Then Sharpay enter the car. Troy carry her enter to the car..
Sharpay: Taylor's not the mom who abandoned you. It's Mom, isn't it? (Demi hit to her father's chest)
Chad: Where'd he take them?
Taylor: To what Demi's really angry at.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At monastery
They bring to her in the monastery that where Gabriella's plaque.
Demi backs away when she sees Mom's plaque.
Sharpay: Tell her, Demi. It's all right to hate her. (Demi tries to get out but the doors are locked.) You should hate her. It is okay to hate Mom.
(Demi looks at Sharpay.)
Demi: How dare you! (She runs over to Mom's plaque and bangs on it.) How dare you leave me! How could you go and die and leave me here all alone? Mom please come back. I need you. (She starts to cry.) Please come back.
(She screams and sinks down on the ground. She sits there and bawls. Troy kneels down beside her.)
Troy: It's okay. It's okay, honey.
Demi: It's not okay. She risked her life everyday and she never thought about what would happen to me and Nana if she was gone. (Sharpay starts to cry and hug Demi.)
Troy: I know.
Demi: How could she think that I could live without her?
(Troy hugs her. Tears well up in Sharpay's eyes as she looks at Gabriella's plaque.)

Morning
Nana: Did you sleep?
Demi: Yeah, actually, better than I have in a while.
Nana: Mmm. It's quiet, isn't it? Early and late. It's just really, really quiet.
Demi: Mom was always the first one up, and the last one down. It's strange, the things that you miss. So, how scary was I?
(Nana laughs. Demi sits next to her.)
Nana: Heck, I've seen worse. I've been worse. But, uh, but Sharpay…
Demi: she completely freaked.
Nana: No, uh, she handled it... better than most people would, I think. She saved your life.
Demi: I know I haven't been the most welcoming. I just... I miss Mom so much. It's hard to imagine opening up to someone else. With everything that happens in our lives, love just feels like an invitation for more pain.
Nana: So maybe, um... maybe you don't start with love. Maybe you just start with thanks.
Demi: (nodding)

Demi: (knock Sharpay's home then she open) Muffins? (she give her)
Sharpay: Muffins. Thanks. Come in..
Demi: You are welcome Shar… (enter and walk stand in the living room)
Sharpay: alright,
Demi: (sigh) okay.
Sharpay: So, how are you?
Demi: I've had, uh... bad hours. (She sits down.) And hours that aren't quite so bad. I guess you know how it is.
Sharpay: Yeah. When your mom, there were some days I didn't think I'd survive the sadness. It'll never be okay that she's gone, Demi. But I promise, it will get better.
Demi: (nodding) yeah I hope.
Demi: Okay, uh, you saved my life, so I guess we're even but, um, Sharpay, Thank you saved my life.
Sharpay: Well, not to be difficult, but I am glad you are okay.
Demi: Okay. (Taylor and Chad comes up to them.)

Demi: Oh, that muffins. I give her with muffins.
