The Chipmunk Tour Saga Closing Ceremony Special

Chapter 5:

"Lizzie's Request/Troy's Memory"

Featuring a deleted scene from Book III: "Ohana, Interrupted"

The curtains at the far end of the "Iron Road" red carpet parted, revealing Lizzie McGuire and her fiancee, David "Gordo" Gordon. "William, a word please?" Lizzie said.

William stood up from his chair and moved over to where Lizzie and Gordo were standing. "Yes, Lizzie?" William asked. "When were you ever going to get around to marrying us off?" Lizzie asked.

"Yeah," Gordo said. "You married off Alvin and Brittany, Max and Roxanne, Troy and Gabriella, Ryan and Kelsi...well, what about us?"

"I have an idea," William said. "Max, at your top speed, how long would it take to get to the dimensional hole?" "1 day, 7 hours, 43 minutes," Max said. "Then, let's get started. Kelsi, Alvin, Brittany, Lizzie, Gordo, follow me to the Bridge," William said.

Kelsi, Alvin, Brittany, Lizzie and Gordo followed William off the holosuite.

On Max's Bridge, William sat in the command chair as Kelsi, Alvin, Brittany, Lizzie and Gordo took the other stations. "All stations, give me a Go/No Go for take-off," William said. "Helm?"

Alvin checked his boards. "Helm systems are on-line," he reported. William nodded, then turned to Kelsi. "Communications?" William asked. "Comm systems are go," Kelsi reported after she checked her boards.

William turned to Lizzie, seated at the Tactical station. "Tactical?" Wiliam asked. "Weapons and shields ready. Cloaking device available on all flight modes," Lizzie reported.

"Navigation?" William asked. Brittany smiled. " Navigation systems functional. Course to the dimensional hole plotted and ready," she reported.

"Engineering?" William asked, turning to Gordo. "Engines ready," he said. "Good," William said. "Kelsi, address intra-craft." "System open," Kelsi said.

"This is the Captain," William said. "All personnel, prepare for take-off. Our course will take us back to your home dimension to marry off Lizzie McGuire and David Gordon. Raymer, out."

As Max took off, William called up a piece of music on his mp3 player that represented his feelings as Max cleared the atmosphere. A few minutes later, Brittany reported, "We have cleared the solar system." "Taking us into hyperspace," Alvin reported.

On Max's view-screen, the pinpricks of starlight went to lines as Max entered hyperspace. "Max, we'll be down on the holosuite, continuing the interviews," William said. "Call me if you need anything." "Compliance," Max said as Kelsi, Alvin, Brittany, Lizzie and Gordo followed William off the Bridge.

Back on the holosuite, William walked back into Kitchen Stadium as his next interview subject sat in the chair opposite his own. Troy Bolton nodded at William as he sat down.

William: Hello, Troy. How's the shuttle I gave you?

Troy: It's going fine, William. Gabi and I have just about turned it into an RV.

Troy's RV comment drew laughs from the other characters.

W: I understand Gabriella is the subject of your story. Tell me about it.

T: Well, it was just after we stopped Hämsterviel and his army of Number 4 replicas. While the Enterprise and the Megaship were getting ready for the trip to Turo, I decided to call in a couple of favors.

W: That was when you decided that the time was right to ask Gabriella to marry you.

T: Exactly. I asked D.E.C.A. to contact Ryan and told him to meet me at a jewelry store in Albuquerque.

Ryan smiled as Troy resolved from a Megaship teleport beam.

"Hey, Troy. I got your message," Ryan said. "What do you need from me?" "It's like this, Ryan," Troy said. "I want to ask Gaby to marry me, and I need a good ring."

"Ah," Ryan said. "Let's go inside and see what they've got." Ryan and Troy walked into the jewelry store.

Back aboard the Megaship, Gabriella walked up to Alvin. "Alvin, where's Troy? We're almost ready to take off," she said.

"Last I saw him, he was handing Hämsterviel and that Leroy over to Gantu," Alvin said. "After that, I don't know."

Back at the jewelry store, Troy was looking at a ring. "I think this one's it," he said to Ryan. Then, to the clerk, Troy asked, "Do you have this--" Troy gestured to the ring. "--in a size 3?"

"Yes, we do, sir," the clerk said. "Lookin' to propose to your girl?" "Hopefully, I'll be planning my wedding before the week's out," Troy said.

Ryan smiled at Troy. "I'll take care of that," he said, handing the clerk an American Express Gold card. "I take care of my friends." "Thanks, Ryan. Listen, I gotta head on back. I'll let you know how things turn out," Troy said.

"Good luck, Troy," Ryan said as Troy pressed a button on his communicator. "Troy to Megaship. Energize." Then, as the teleport beam claimed him, Troy smiled at Ryan and said, "Thanks, Ryan. Say hi to Sharpay for me."

Alvin smiled as Troy resolved on the teleporter pad. "You certainly took your sweet time," Alvin said. "Gabriella was getting quite suspicious."

"Attention, all personnel, this is Ambassador Pelekai," Lilo Pelekai said on the intercom. "We are preparing for lift-off. Our course will take us to the planet Turo in 12 hours. Pelekai, out."

The deck began to rumble as the Megaship took off. Alvin looked at Troy. "Can I see the ring?" he asked.

Troy shook his head. "This little baby is going into teleporter stasis until we reach Turo," he said as he put the ring case on the teleporter pad. "D.E.C.A., if you would?"

The ring case dissolved into a white sparkle. "D.E.C.A., teleport that case to me when we are within hailing range of Turo-but only if you do not sense Gabriella within 50 feet of me," Troy said. "Acknowledged," D.E.C.A. said.

T: The plan worked perfectly, as you know.

W: Thanks, Troy. Who's next?

The curtains at the far end of the "Iron Road" parted, revealing...
