=ANFF2: America's Sweetheart's Engagement=
-Chapter 16-
(February 2010 – Washington, D.C.)
"Morning America's Love Story!" Sharpay greeted the happy couple as they joined the rest of their friends for breakfast.
"Mm, thanks Sharpay," the couple mumbled back as they sat down beside each other and began to fill up their plates with the delightful breakfast made by the White House kitchen staff.
"Now what we're you two doing all night?" Chad joked with the tired engaged couple, who both glared at the boy who had one raised eyebrow hiding underneath the bangs of his afro.
"Leave them alone," Taylor told her boyfriend, whacking him on the back of the head.
"But," Chad started to protest, but shut up seeing not only the glare from Taylor, but the ones of death from Troy and Gabriella, "alright."
"Thank you," Gabriella told her 'big brother' with a soft, pleased smile before she stuck a piece of waffle covered in whipped cream, raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, and blackberries into her mouth.
"God, that's so God forsaken good," Troy stated after swallowing his chewed up food, the others nodding their head in agreement.
"Hey, Shar-Bear, where are the parental units at?" Gabriella asked, referring to hers and the twin's parents.
"They all have meetings all day, but they would love to have a sit down lunch with us at four so, us girls were wondering do you wanna get ready together?" Sharpay asked her best friend.
"Of course," Gabriella replied with a bright smile.
"I love you," Sharpay told her.
"I love you too," Gabriella replied back with a giggle causing everyone else to smile at the friendship that was more like sister ship between the two girls.
"Anybody want seconds?" Jane, the morning breakfast maid, asked the group.
"Me!" Everyone, even Troy and Gabriella who had just finished their food, exclaimed together with raised hands causing Jane to shake her head and laugh at the group of ten teenagers and how'd she probably never get use to them and the way they ate, especially the boys.
TROYELLA*IS*THE*BEST*KINDA*LOVE
"Dudes, don't you think we should start getting ready for the lunch with the 'rental units?" Zeke asked the boys as they stood around in the gym of the White House, shooting hoops.
"Dude, unlike the girls it only really takes us five to ten minutes tops," Chad told him, bending his knees and arms before letting the ball fly through the air and…miss.
"And you're in the NBA?" Ryan asked from his spot over by the stereo where Nelly's Here Comes the Boom was blaring through it causing everyone to laugh.
"Oh shut it Dancy Pants," Chad glared at him and everyone else before he stopped, noticing that Zeke was gathering up his duffle bag and switching out of his basketball sneakers and into his flip flops, throwing his towel around his neck. "Dude, where you going?"
"I'm going to go get ready for the parents luncheon," Zeke told him as he headed towards the sliding glass doors.
"Dude, the game's gonna be uneven now," Chad protested.
"Get Dancy Pants to play…on your team," Zeke said with a loud chuckle as he exited the room.
"Like hell you're playing on my team!" Chad hissed at the blonde.
"Like hell do I wanna be on your team or even play!" Ryan threw back at him, all the while, Troy and Jason were laughing as they kept shooting around, but they all stopped when the sliding doors slide open and the clicking of heels were heard followed by a…
"TROY ALEXANDER BOLTON, CHAD NICHOLAS DANFORTH, RYAN JOSHUA EVANS, JASON ALLEN CROSS! GET TO YOUR ROOMS, TAKE SHOWERS AND GET READY! NOW!" Ryan's blonde haired, dramatic twin yelled at them, her hands on her hips as her left foot started tapping the hardwood floor.
"Yes, Sharpay," they mumbled together, all of them quickly gathering their stuff and walking past her.
"You know I think she's scarier than my mom," Chad whispered to the three boys, who all nodded their heads in agreement.
"What was that?" The blonde haired 'princess' asked them before they walked out the doors.
"Nothing, Sharpay," they quickly replied as they all existed the gym.
"Thought so," Sharpay replied with a smirk as she followed behind the boys that she considered her brothers and her actual brother.
HSM*IS*LOVE
"Do you think Sharpay was able to get the boys ready?" Gabriella dressed in an adorably short, white, 'Bolsa Chicha', spaghetti strap, dress with a beautiful all-over pink and red small floral pattern, classic lace trim along the bottom, an empire waist, and (of course) Hollister Co.'s signature seagull embroidery near the hem; asked the girls.
"Marie think of what you just said," Taylor dressed in a red, 'Bridget', spaghetti strap, dress with a colorful (and small) pink all-over floral print with subtle ruffle trim at the neckline, a plunging center placket with button closure, pintucked pleates, a soft smocked waist, and (of course) Abercrombie & Fitch's (A&F's) moose embroidery at the hem; replied, "and you were the valedictorian in high school?"
Kelsi, who was dressed in a pink, 'Jennie' dress from A&F with a bright blue and light pink vintage all-over floral print, a ruffled v-neck, front-tie sash, adjustable spaghetti straps, a button-down front and the moos embroidery at the hem; and Martha, who was dressed in a simple, yet cute A&F red 'Randi' dress that was super-soft and had flirty ruffled layers at the neckline, comfy tank straps, beautiful eyelet detailing at the hem, and the moose embroidery; just laughed at the African American and the Filipina, who stuck their tongues out at each other as they all continued to get ready.
"Like you should doubt me and my skills, really Brie-ella, really?" Sharpay dressed in an adorable vintage style, halter-neck, sweetheart neckline, silk dress with ruching at the waist and an all-over pink-tie dye print from Lady Laguna; and a pair of black glitter peep-toe 3-inch high heels from Miu Miu on her feet; said making her presence known.
"Sorry, Shar-Bear. I love you," Gabriella replied, slipping on her red, Jimmy Choo, 'Quiet', patent-leather, peep toed, five-inch pumps on her feet.
You'd better for what I've have planned for you, the blonde thought as she fixed the sterling silver hoop earrings in her ears and a pearl chocker necklace around her neck, both from Tiffany & Co. "I love you too."
"Nice hair and makeup," Martha commented to America's Sparkle.
"Why thank you; you too," Sharpay who had smokey eye make-up, clear lips, and straight hair; replied to the brunette whose curly hair was straightened, except for the ends, and pulled half back with a bump in the front, and natural looking makeup on.
"Thanks," Martha commented as she slipped on her pair of white rubber flip flops from A&F on her feet to go along with her white beaded bracelet and necklace, and sterling hoop earrings, all of them topping off the outfit while Kelsi slipped on her the same flip flops, but in navy along with her open heart necklace and matching earrings in sterling silver from Tiffany & Co., and Taylor slipped on her hot pink, four-inch peep toe high heels, and pear earrings from Tiffany & Co.
"You all look b-e-a-u-tiful," Sharpay told them as she helped Gabriella re-fasten the T necklace around her neck that she always toke off when she got into the shower, and then helped her fasten the ruby and diamond drop earrings in her ears.
"Thanks, Sharpay," Gabriella thanked the girl helping her get ready.
"You don't have to thank me Brie-Ella, I'll always be here for you," Sharpay told her with a soft smile, causing the two girls to hug each other.
"Ditto, Shar-Bear, ditto." Gabriella replied before a knock sounded on her bedroom door. "Come in."
"Hello, Beautiful," Troy greeted as he poked his head in the door with a smile, "You girls just about ready?"
"We've been ready slowpoke," Gabriella said, rolling her eyes as she walked towards him.
"Slowpoke?" He asked her with a raised eyebrow as he followed her down the hall.
"Yep and you wanna know why?" Gabriella asked, not even turning around as she continued to follow Sharpay who took the lead of the group.
"Please enlighten me," her fiancé replied.
"Because Sharpay didn't have to come and yell at me to get ready," Gabriella told him with a smirk as she followed Sharpay with curiosity, "Sharpay, why are we heading towards the West Wing?"
Sharpay just smiled and threw open the doors to the ballroom and smiled when everyone along with her and the Wildcats, minus Troy and Gabriella, all yelled "SURPRISE! HAPPY ENGAGEMENT!"
"Sharpay, you didn't?" The couple exclaimed together in shock as they stared at fifty of their closest friends and family who were gathered in the beautifully decorated ballroom of the White House.
"But I did," she told them proudly as she admired her work as did the couple.
The West Wing's blue curtains were changed to red ones, the round tables that sat around various spots in the room were covered in a beautiful pink cloth with a beautiful red and white rose centerpiece that went one white rose on top followed by a circle of red ones and then white ones followed lastly by more red ones in a beautiful Swaroski vase. On the table was scattered gold and red glitter with a light pinch of glitter over the roses to give them a glimmer while on the table in place settings set sterling silver charger plates with clear glass dishes sitting on top of that with sterling silver silverware on both sides and wine glasses sitting above that. The comfortable chairs in the room were all covered in a white chair covered tied with a satin gold bow while around each door frame sat either a pink, red, or gold illumination tower, give the room a soft, romantic feel – it truly was an after Valentine's Day event.
HSM*IS*AN*ALWAYS*FOREVER*MEMORY
"Oh my lanta," Gabriella whispered, "Sharpay, it's so cute and perfect."
"Thank you," Sharpay replied, receiving the praises of choosing a cute engagement party invitation that was sent out to everyone. The invitation was pink square with a white back and surrounded by a white border, and on the center top of the pink square was a heart made out of 'love' in all sorts of font styles in white writing while, also in white writing, the invitation read:

On the other side of the beautiful Swaroski Crystal picture frame that the invite was in, she saw what the back of the invite looked like. The invitation had a picture of her and Troy in their East High graduation gowns with their foreheads pressed lightly together and their hands laced together with smiles and loving looks on their faces while standing in front of a plain white background. At the bottom of the invite read:
"WHEN ASKED WHAT TRUE LOVE IS AND LOOKS LIKE ALL YOU GOTTA DO IS TAKE A LOOK AT THESE TWO – TROY ALEXANDER BOLTON AND GABRIELLA MARIE MONTEZ – FOREVER WILL THEIR LOVE BE TURE AND IMPOSSIBLE TO SUCCEED. I LOVE YOU TWO, FOREVER."
~ SHARPAY ANNE EVANS
"Sharpay," Gabriella whispered her best friend's name with tears in her eyes again before she handed the beautiful frame to her fiancé so she could pull her best friend in for a hug. "I love you sooo much, and thank you sooo much!"
"I love you too and you're welcome! You know I'll do anything for you!" Sharpay whispered back as she hugged the brunette tighter.
