SE: (cheerfully) Ok, Sparkles! Ready?
Sparkles: Yeah!
SE: Let's do this.
Everyone was pumped up except for Gabriella. She never felt so uncomfortable in her entire life. The one piece jumpsuit she was wearing was not doing her a favor. It was:
1. Too tight, and
2. Too ugly
Gabriella knew if anyone she knows saw her in that "ensemble", she would be put on the worst dress list faster than anyone can say: Worst Dress Candidate.
After days of practicing, Sparkles is gonna perform yet again at the youth centre. Sharpay explained to Gabriella that everytime during the summer, Sparkles would perform once a week to practice performing in front of many people and the tickets they sold goes to the town's fundrasing committee. Gabriella had to admit she had fun rehearsing with Sparkles and they have become really close. Gabriella absolutely love hanging out with them. She and Sharpay have become suprisingly close.
Sparkles stepped onto stage and went to their position. Sharpay decided to let Gabriella sing solo with her for this song. While on stage, Gabriella spotted her family giving her smiles to wish her good luck. She also spotted Troy snapping pictures and smiled at her when he noticed she was staring. Gabriella blushed and pretend to adjust her jumpsuit. Suddenly the music starts and she knew it was her cue.
SE: Risin' up, back on the street
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance, now I'm back on my feet
Just a girl and her will to survive
GM: So many times, it happens too fast
You change your passion for glory
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive
Sparkles: It's the eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all in the eye of the tiger
SE: Face to face, out in the heat
Hangin' tough, stayin' hungry
They stack the odds 'til we take to the street
For the kill with the skill to survive
Sparkles: It's the eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all in the eye of the tiger
GM: Risin' up, straight to the top
Have the guts, got the glory
Went the distance, now I'm not gonna stop
Just a girl and her will to survive
Sparkles: It's the eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all in the eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger
The crowd applaused loudly to their amazing performance. Gabriella had to admit they did great. Not counting the tacky costumes of course. The crowd went wild. When they got off the stage, Sharpay was very much excited.
SE: (squels) Guys! I am so proud of all of you. You all are so amazing. This is the kind of magic i was talking about. You all did so well and Gabriella, i have to say, we couldn't have done this without you.
GM: Thanks. You guys have never really got that kind of applause before?
RE: Not in years. This is really a big deal for us.
GM: (giggles) I can tell by how excited you are. I'm gonna see my family for awhile.
Gabriella made her way to where her grandmother, brother and father is and they gave her a big group hug.
Grandma: Gabi! That was such an amazing performance!
Shane: Totally. You nailed it out there.
Mr Montez: I can honestly say that i have never seen you perform like that before. I'm proud of you pumpkin.
GM: Thanks.
Grandma: We're gonna take off first. We'll meet you at the house, kay?
GM: Sure. Bye!
She waved her family goodbye and felt someone tapping on her shoulder.
TB: Hi! You were amazing out there.
GM: Thank you. I guess you got your money shot.
TB: Trust me. I got alot.
GM: (giggles) I bet you did.
TB: (starts to get nervous) I need to ask you something.
GM: Um...sure? Is everything alright?
TB: Yeah. Um...what are doing tomorrow?
GM: That's it? What am i doing tomorrow?
TB: Well it's kinda related of what i'm gonna ask you next.
GM: Which is?
TB: (nervously) Um...well...
GM: Troy, come on! Spill it out!
TB: Ok look. I know you're on a dating hiatus and all but do you wanna go to the town party tomorrow...with me?
GM: You're asking me out?
TB: Is it that bad?
GM: Well it's surprising.
TB: So what's your answer?
GM: Ok.
TB: Did you just say ok?
GM: Yeah. Why? Were you expecting a no?
TB: Well...kinda. I mean after all i've done to you in the past.
GM: Well...i dunno. It's weird to say no to an old friend who wants a date. It is a date date right? Not the pity-friend date.
TB: It can be any date you want it to be or whatever.
GM: (smirks) Well in that case. Pick me up at 6 tomorrow and bring flowers.
TB: Really?
GM: (nods) Congratulations Bolton. You got yourself a date.
TB: See you tomorrow Montez.
GM: Bye! (walks away)
Yes! She said yes! I am finally going on a date with Gabriella! Troy screamed in his head. After Gabriella walked away, he expressed his excitment with putting his fist up in the air and danced all by himself.
CD: Dude. What are you doing?
TB: (grins) It's a long story, my friend. But it has a nice ending though.
Outside the youth centre, a person was talking on the phone about a certain perfromance.
?: I'm telling you she's really here...Yes Gabriella Montez. She just performed with the town's show choir...Everyone loved it. The crowd went wild. I don't think they know who she really is though. No one was surrounding her after she performed. They were mostly all over her show choir mates. I have the video to prove it...Alright boss i'll post it on YouTube tonight. You will not be dissappointed.
Ooh is someone stalking Gabriella? Will Wesley Corners ever be the same again? But in the bright side, Troy finally asked Gabriella out!!
I know the chapter is not that long so im sorry. I'll try to put a longer chap soon.
I would also like to thank those who voted about the song choices if those who didn't vote but still want to vote please proceed to the previous chapter.
