-Chapter 17-
(February 16, 2010 – New York City, New York)
"Morning girls!" Gabriella greeted Sharpay, Martha, Taylor, Kelsi, Jessica, and Cloe as they all entered her suite at the Four Seasons in New York City, New York, the Ty Warner Penthouse Suite.
"Morning Gabriella!" The girls all greeted back, still in pajamas, as they entered her suite.
"If you're hungry you're free to join me, there's plenty."Gabriella told them all as she sat back down at the table in the dining area to finish her breakfast.
"Yay, I'm so hungry!" Sharpay said as her stomach growled causing everyone to laugh and Sharpay to blush.
"We can tell," Gabriella teased her best friend who plopped down in the seat beside her and began to fill her plate up with breakfast food.
"Did you talk to Troy this morning yet, Marie?" Taylor asked Gabriella between bites of food.
"Nope," Gabriella replied before taking a sip of her hot chocolate, "Did you hear from Chad?"
"Yeah, the dumbass called at two this morning forgetting the different time zones," Taylor said, shaking her head in disappointment, "He's like 'oops, I forgot that there's a time difference between LA and NYC', dumbass."
"But he's your dumbass," Gabriella pointed out as she stood up and stretched, her pajama cami riding up to show a sliver of her flat and tanned stomach.
"Unfortunately," the African American joked back.
"Taylor," was all Gabriella said with a shake of her head and a small laugh before she walked towards the bedroom to get her things around for the day.
Soon later she was followed by each girl after they finished eating, and all just sat around chitchatting until a knock sounded on the suite's main door followed by one on her bedroom door.
"Come in," Gabriella called out from her spot on the bed.
"Gabi, there's presents here for you and the girls," Brett informed his charge.
"Thanks, Bretty," Gabriella replied back as she jumped off the bed and walked past her favorite Secret Service Agent with the girls following close behind.
"Good morning Ms. Montez, my name's Melrose Grove and I'll be your personal assistant today," a tall, beautiful blonde with green eyes, greeted America's Sweetheart and her group. "I've also brought with me your outfits for The Heart Truth runway this morning."As she said this in came two dress racks, both with garment bags, jewelry boxes, and shoe boxes all from various designers. "I also have got a set of girls here to do your makeup and hair, the designers and the studios were all thrilled to hear that America's Sweetheart and America's Sparkle brought their friends along with them to the Fashion Show this year, so of course with the outfits come the gifts which I'll explain as I hand you certain things."
"Cool," each girl stated with a nod of her head as they all sat around the massive living room the penthouse provided.
"Alright, first things first, the girls," Melrose stated and with a motion to Gina, the Secret Service lady let a group of pretty and tall females in, who all wore smiles and sunglasses over their eyes, that were moved to rest on the top of their head now. "Girls, this is Carrie Lane, Amanda Wellington, Jamie Causer, Andrea West, and Brooke Sanders, they will be doing your hair and makeup. Carrie, Amanda, Jamie, Andrea, and Brooke you all know which girl is yours and you all know to do both their hair and makeup, correct? Good, now to get these beautiful seven girls their stunning outfits."
HSM*IS*LOVE
"Oh, wow! Kelsi, I love it!" Gabriella told Kelsi admiring her look for the fashion show this morning.
Kelsi stood in front of all of them dressed in a figure hugging, red dress that had a dramatic ruffle cascading down the left side, and stopped right where the dress stopped, mid thigh. On her petite feet sat a beautiful pair of Giuseppe Zanotti black 4-inch high heels that were adorned with a bow and embellished with crystals on the T-strap and toe band. Topping off her outfit was a pair of beautiful 18-karat yellow gold diamond-shaped arrangement and rough-cut Ippolita earrings with rough-cut calcites, a bracelet on the left wrist by the same designer to match the earrings, her makeup was kept natural, and her hair was pulled back in the back while around her face her delicate and brown curls framed her face.
"Aw, thanks Shining Star," Kelsi thanked America's Sweetheart.
"She's right it does look beautiful on you," Melrose commented before she went on to explain the outfit, "The dress is by Betsey Johnson that will be in her new and coming line, the heels as you saw are Giuseppe Zanotti, while the jewelry is all by Ippolita. You may keep the heels and the dress, but sadly you can only pick either the necklace or bracelet from this outfit, which by the way costs a total of five thousand and seven hundred and eighty nine dollars."
"Wow," was all the girls had to comment on.
"When do I need to inform you of which piece of jewelry I'm keeping?" Kelsi asked Melrose.
"By the end of the day please Ms. Nielsen," Melrose said with a soft smile before she like the other girls turned her attention on Martha, "Your beautiful outfit consists of a red, belted stretch satin-jersey maxi dress from Halston Heritage; a Anya Hindmarch pale-gold mirror-effect leather box clutch, a pair of Yves Saint Laurent gold leather-trimmed beige suede high heels, and a 24-karat gold gold-plated crystal ring with the signature Medusa stamp on it. Your outfit costs a total of two-thousand and two-hundred and forty dollars."
"Very, very, beautiful Martha," Sharpay told his brother's long-time girlfriend, who smiled her thanks to who she hopped would one day be her sister-in-law.
"Tay-Tay looks amazing too," Gabriella commented as she admired the African American beauty, who was dressed in a horizontally shirred, strapless red dress with an ornamental bow with jewels on the left hip; a pair of black glitter, Miu Miu 4 and half inch high heel pumps on her feet; a pair of sterling silver, Paloma's Hammered Circles earrings from Tiffany & Co. in her ears; a matching Paloma Picasso hammered bangle to go on her left wrist; while her black, chin-length bob and black eyeshadowed makeup topped off her outfit.
"Why thank you," Taylor thanked her best friend with a bright smile.
"Your outfit contains a simple dress by Betsey Johnson also, a pair of Miu Miu heels, and Tiffany's jewelry. The whole outfit is worth one-thousand and three-hundred and twenty-two dollars," Melrose commented on the worth of the outfit, like she had been doing for every outfit.
"We really switched it up this time, didn't we Sis?" Cloe asked her twin as they both caught everyone's attention standing in front of the mirror. Cloe was dressed in a short and strapless red sequin, all over dress while a simple silver sequined outline outlined the sweetheart neckline. The dress was paired up beautifully with a pair of strappy, red satin slingback, four inch high heels; a pair of sterling silver Elsa Peretti Pearls by the Yard earrings, a matching Pearls by the Yard bracelet sat on her right wrist, and topping off her outfit her hair was in beautiful waves with light, red glitter makeup.
Her twin had on a beautiful, asymmetric silk-crepe full length gown in a vibrant shade of red; paired with a black, knot intrecciato satin clutch, white with black whipstitch detailed five-inch high heels, and a pair of Baltimore silver-plated tassel earrings.
"Cloe, your outfit consists of a custom-designed Scala dress that will be featured in the up-and-coming Homecoming line, Dior high heels, and Tiffany & Co. jewelry all at the cost of one-thousand, and four-hundred and seventy-nine dollars; while Jessica yours consist of a Prabal Gurung dress that will be featured in the new fall fashion 2010 line, a Bottege Veneta handbag that's a new release in their recent line, a pair of Alaia high heels that are going to be coming out this year in the new fashion line, and Philippe Audibert earrings. The total cost of your beautiful outfit comes to five-thousand and thirty-five dollars."
"Wow," both twins said together, always on that same twin telepathy that they always had since birth.
"Definitely," Sharpay told the twins, knowing what it's like to be on that telepathy path for she was usually always on it with Ryan unless it had something to do with hats, and girl/guy things.
Sharpay was dressed in a custom made, and one of kind, floor length strapless sweetheart corset tulle ball gown. The beautiful red ball gown had glittering rhinestones all over it, heavily on the top portion and lighter by lighter as you traveled down the dress until you reached the bottom where no crystals were found. On her feet sat a beautiful, yet simple pair of 3-and-half inch high heels with Jimmy Choo's classic silver-mirrored look. Topping off her look was not only her vibrant blonde waves or her silver glitter makeup, but her triple loop earrings, approximately 4.45 carats in worth with 78 round (white) diamonds; a bracelet o match her earrings sat on her left wrist, and of course her beautiful La Princesse engagement ring.
"Now, of course since you are actually in the fashion show, you're outfit costs the most," Melrose explained to the blonde, "Your dress is a custom and one-of-a-kind creation by Scala, now buyers can get one similar but there will be some differences too it of course. You earrings and bracelet, which sadly have to be returned, are Harry Winston which is why the outfit total is so high up there, and your shoes are Jimmy Choo. Your whole outfit total worth is fifty-nine thousand, and four-hundred and thirty-five dollars.
Now, America's Sweetheart's outfit on the other hand is not only elegant and something her father will be very pleased with, but it's also the highest at around sixty-four-thousand dollars. Her dress in a Notte by Marchesa gown, the clutch is by Judith Leiber, the heels are by Alexander Birman, and the earrings are by Oscar De la Renta."
"You can definitely tell it," Gabriella said softly as she admired herself in the mirror. Her beautiful dress was a red silk-chiffon strapless gown, paired with a silver crystal-embellished satin clutch, 5-inch platform python high heels with a braided and textured strap detailing, a beautiful pair of 24-karat gold-plated multi-stone drop earrings with multicolored faceted Swarovski crystals, smokey eye makeup, light and clear lip gloss with a vanilla scent and taste, and her hair was down in her beautiful and long waves.
"Are you sure you don't want me to go with you?" Sharpay now dressed in a simple pair of jeans, black UGG's, a dark pink cami underneath a black long sleeve v-neck shirt, and a black leather jacket on; asked her best friend.
"Nah, I'll be just fine, Shar-Bear," Gabriella, now dressed in a simple black cami from Old Navy (ON), a cream colored studded Dinah cardigan by Heart Loom, a pair of "Thunder" was Black Orchid jeggings, and black suede Chinese Laundry turbo (flat) boots; replied with a smile as she put her shiny black sunglasses with 24k gold coated lens over her eyes, and fixed the Love Heals Mountain Necklace created from a braided dark leather strap with various bronze, silver and rose gold charms on it; around her neck.
"If you're sure."
"I am," Gabriella replied with a reassuring smile.
"I love you, Brie-Ella."
"I love you too, Shar-Bear," Gabriella replied to her best friend as they hugged and kissed each other's cheek.
"Don't forget this," Sharpay said as they pulled back from the hug and she handed Gabriella her black leather Fendi unzipped zip-it messenger bag.
"Thanks," Gabriella replied, grabbing onto the handles of the bag and letting it slip down her arm to rest in the crook of her elbow.
"No problem, have fun," the blonde told her before America's Sweetheart was enveloped by guys and a girl in black suites and taken out of Bryant Park.
TO BE CONTINUED…
Sorry that this chapter was kind of boring, but I promise the next one will be better.
Now, I've been getting replies about when I'm going to do more Troy and Gabriella and don't worry I will because they are my favorite couple, the next chapter is gonna center around their wedding stuff and Troy will make appearance, but not in the way you think – it's also the reason why Gabriella left right after The Heart Truth runway show.
BTW, all the other girls have true outfit costs, BUT Gabriella's whose number I just made up therefore…
TRIVIA: In this chapter, I have listed the girls outfit costs, now it's your turn to put them order from least to greatest. Ready, set, go!
"WHAT IS THE RED DRESS?
The Red Dress is the official symbol of The Heart Truth campaign. It's feminine, strong and confident, capturing the spirit of the cause in a symbol that women across Canada can identify with and feel proud of. The Red Dress represents women's courage and passion and their power for change as they share the truth with others and raise awareness about the importance of heart health.
Women can show their support by purchasing a Red Dress pin, at your local Heart and Stroke Foundation Office. Red Dress pins are striking conversation-starters that help women to share the truth with others. For every pin sold, 100 per cent of net proceeds are contributed to the campaign.
Each year, the Red Dress symbol comes to life on the runway as top Canadian fashion designers create original red dress designs in celebration of women and heart health awareness. The Heart Truth Fashion Show takes place in March.. The events are star-studded affairs, with top designers unveiling original red dress creations modeled by some of the country's most celebrated women.
The Red Dress symbol has a proven ability to reach women. In 2003, just 18 months after its original launch in the U.S., one in four American women identified the Red Dress as the national symbol for women's heart disease awareness."
