-Chapter 21-

(March 2010 – Los Angeles, California)

"Alright, so David and I had quite a few meetings while I was in NYC," Gabriella still dressed in her pajamas from last night as was Troy as they sat on the couch in their living room, "Therefore I've come home bearing gifts, well wedding planning stuff that you and I have to decide upon seeing as you, unlike other grooms, want to be included a hundred percent in the wedding planning."

"Alright, hit me with it," Troy replied as he sipped on the hot chocolate he had made for him and his fiancée this morning along with the waffles that were already eaten.

"Well, of course, the first thing first are the invitations," Gabriella told him as she pulled out the box containing the invitations that David have given her in NYC when she had her first meeting with him. Opening up the box, she continued to explain, "David has come through with printing up the samples we wanted to look at with the ideas and preferences we gave him, and he'd like for us to decide on these and if they still aren't good enough we are to let him know so he can come up with new ones. Now, just to let you know I haven't looked at any of these because I wanted to wait to look at them together."

"You could have looked at them first without me, Baby Brie," Troy replied with a soft smile.

"Yes, I could've, but I wouldn't have because I prefer to do this kind of wedding stuff with you," she replied, giving him her own smile as she opened up the box and pulling out the first invitation.

The first invitation was a called "Vision of Love" and it had an elegant white border around the black piece of semi-thick, parchment. On little more than half of the square was a full-color picture of them on their graduation day, in their red and gold East High robes, both standing very close together with a couple of inches from being cheek to cheek as they smiled and faced the camera. On the rest of the card, was white writing that read:

President Gregory & First Lady Inez Montez and Mr. & Mrs. Jackson Bolton

Request the pleasure of your company

At the marriage of their children

Gabriella Marie Montez & Troy Alexander Bolton

Saturday, the twenty-sixth of June, two thousand and ten

Five o'clock in the afternoon

EDITION hotel 1775 Ala Moana Boulevard

Honolulu, Hawaii 96815

Reception to follow

The second invitation was one called "Romantic Math" and on the upper half of it, it contained three double, white boarded squares containing pictures of them and in between the first two squares was a plus sign and then between the second and third square was an equal sign, both signs along with their names were in hot pink while the rest of the writing was in white and read the same thing as the first one, except at the end it read:

Dinner, dancing, and happily ever after to follow

"Let me guess, our parents supplied the pictures, or was it you or Sharpay?" Troy asked her seeing the three pictures: the first one was a picture of him in a dark grey and white T-shirt, the second one was a picture of her in a halter neck dress with her hand on her shoulder and her hair up, lips puckered blowing a kiss at whoever; and the third and final picture was a picture of them together, smiling.

"Yours is probably from your parents, mine's probably from mine, and the together one was probably from Sharpay because I do believe that one is when you were talking with you parents, but I was smiling at Sharpay, who was making up with Zeke after their disaster fight back in high school," Gabriella replied as she gently sat the second invitation down so, they could look at the third one.

The third one was longer, up and down ways, and it contained four pictures of them, ones most likely supplied by their parents of them in Disney World – the first one, upper left was of Troy's back facing the camera as he held a smiling Gabriella as the water splashed around them; the upper right picture was of them walking well of Troy walking away from the pool and Gabriella having both hands on his left hand trying to pull him back; the lower left one was of Gabriella sunbathing with Troy leaning over her with a smile, having an intimate moment; and the bottom right one was of them kissing in the water – while exactly in the middle of the four pictures was a red square with white writing of 'G&T' in it, while the bottom part of the card read the same as the other two in white writing, all except for their names that were in red writing.

"This one's pretty cute," Troy told her.

"I agree, but there's a big flaw on this one," Gabriella replied with a pout.

"And that is?" Troy asked her.

"It's doesn't do your body justice," she said, continuing her pout causing Troy to burst out laughing at her, turning her pout into a scowl, "It's not funny; you know how I don't just like your personality, but those well defined arms, legs, and those delicious abs and pecs of yours."

"I know," he replied with a smirk, and then said in all seriousness, "I think there's a flaw in it too."

"And what's the flaw that you see, but so help me Troy Bolton if you say it's me, I'm gonna smack you upside the head. I don't really care if you can't see my body, at least my face is showing, that's good enough." She warned him.

"But Gabriella, that's just not fare, you need to be showing like me or more than me too," Troy said with a pout.

"Oh, suck it up and put your big boy draws on," she told him with a slight push to his shoulder causing them both to laugh lightly.

The next one they looked at was a pretty cute one called "Love Letters" and the title pretty much fit the description to a glove.

"Okay, this one reminds me of Letters to Juliet," she stated with a soft smile.

"It does," Troy agreed as she set it aside so they could look at some more.

"Now, this one's just beautiful," Gabriella said after they had gone thru some more invitations.

The last one they looked at was called the "Gold Shimmer Border" invitation set. The five inch by eight-and-half-inch non-folding invitation was designed with sophisticated details and luxurious stationery. The champagne shimmer non-folding invitation card is embossed with a border to add glamorous light to the introduction to the wedding. The card was written in an elegant black writing while a black, satin ribbon in a bow to perfection at the very top, and the invitation read:

Love fills a lifetime

And a lifetime begins this hour

When the two of us

Gabriella Marie Montez

And

Troy Alexander Bolton

Begin a new life together

On Saturday, June 20

Two thousand and ten

At five o'clock in the afternoon

The Waikiki EDITION

1775 Ala Moana Boulevard

Honolulu, Hawaii

Reception to follow

The start of something new for this eternal couple

"It even comes with its owe envelopes," Troy said, showing her the white envelopes that had the return address on the back, saying:

The White House

1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW

Washington D.C.

20500

"And thank you cards, which he already wrote a sample thing on for us," Gabriella stated showing him the gold, small square that red in red, cursive writing:

Thank you for attending! ~ Troy & Gabriella Bolton

"Troy and Gabriella Bolton sounds amazing," Troy whispered in her ear with a bright smile, causing her to brightly smile to before their lips met in a soft, yet passionate kiss.

"It sure does," she softly replied back after pulling back from their kiss before kissing him again.

"And this is the direction card," Troy said, showing her the directions in balck writing on the gold square that had the actual directions from Hawaii International Airport to the hotel that was only fifteen minutes to and from each other.

"This set together is just amazing and perfect," Gabriella commented, "What do you think? Which invitation do you want, hubby-to-be?"

"Well, wifey-to-be my mind's made, how about your IQ brain?" He replied.

"The same," she said and together as she set the chosen one on top of the others after placing them back into the box they were brought out in.

"Anything else?"

"Yes," Gabriella said as she picked her iPad up from the coffee table and tapped a few buttons. Bringing up the calendar set aside for all things wedding, she began to look for it and talking with Troy while doing so and when finding the things that concerned him, "Well, mom and dad said that we need to decide on which magazine to give our official engagement photos and interviews too as long as who we want to take our pictures and do our interviews with. They've also set aside a couple of the well respected magazines and television shows for us.

David also wanted me to remind you that you need to set up a meeting soon with Calvin Kline about you and the guys tuxes while I've got to decide and meet with a designer for the girls dresses designer, if I don't have Pnina Tornai do their dresses while she does mine too. He also wanted to remind us that we need to meet with Mark Held about the floral arrangements, and talk with Wolfgang Puck about the food; call up and set up a meeting with a Waikiki EDITION representative to talk about the wedding, which he would like to be at as would the head of the Secret Service. David also wants to know if on the day of the wedding, are you going to do anything special for the special men in your life, kind of what I'm doing for all the special women in my life; he also wants to know if it's okay if his husband attends and…so, so, so much more, but for now I've got to get up and get ready to go with Sharpay."

"Wait, where you going?"

"Why you and the guys hit the gym at Staples for you team workout, Sharpay, Zeke and I are meeting with the planner they want for their wedding," Gabriella informed him before she jogged up the stairs.

Once she entered her bedroom, she headed straight for the closet and walked into it after turning on the lights. Walking over to her jeans, she quickly chose a pair of dark wash, Anlo Brooke skinny zipper jeans while Troy came into the bedroom and leaned against the closet doorway with his legs and arms crossed, watching his personal fashion coordinator get dressed for the day. He watched as she chose a black, spaghetti strap cami and then a thick, knit black sweater that would be good for the chilly March weather. Putting both the jeans and cami on, he chuckled as she hobbled on each foot to put on her socks before he decided to go over to her and let her hold his arm as she slipped into a pair of her brown, one-inch high heeled mid-calf high boots.

"Thanks Wildcat," Gabriella thanked him, quickly placing a kiss on his cheek after slipping into her sweater, she then quickly grabbed a black and gold Balenciaga 'Part Time' handbag, which was surprising to him because he always saw her with her LV bag that she got from her dad, so he gave her a questioning look. "I know, I know, but I decided to change it up a bit; you know keep the paps on their toes."

Troy just shook his head and chuckled as she scurried out of the closet and made her way to the bathroom where she quickly worked to comb her hair and leave her hair down in her long and luscious waves before quickly applying only black eyeliner and mascara with clear, vanilla flavored lip-gloss. Spraying a few squirts of her Love Spell on, she then added deodorant on followed by a couple rings, bracelets, and fixed the T-necklace on her neck and the ruby and diamond earrings that she wore for her friends and family engagement party in her ears.

"Ready to go?" He, now changed in his practice clothes, asked her.

"Yep, and just in time too," Gabriella said hearing Sharpay honk her car horn, "I love you and I'll see you later."

"I love you and I'll see you later too," Troy replied, giving her a kiss on her lips, "Mm, vanilla."

"Yep," Gabriella replied, making a beeline for the stairs and to the front door.

"Be safe!" He called after her and frowned when he heard her say 'you know me'. I do know you that's why I said it, he thought as he finished getting round for practice.

TROYELLA*HSM*ZANESSA*FOREVER

"Hola, Brie-Ella," the blonde sitting in the passenger seat of her white 2011 BMW ActiveHybrid 750Li, and dressed in a pair of light grey '7 For All Mankind' Lucy skinny jeans, a cream Urban Outfitters tank top with a v-neckline, a pair of light grey Christian Louboutin sling back three-inch high heels, a white wristed Chanel watch with pink diamonds on her wrist, a long beaded necklace, and gold hoop earrings.

"Hola, Shar-Bear," Gabriella greeted the girl, whose eyes were covered by the black framed Ray Ban 'wayfarer' sunglasses that almost matched her black framed Chanel sunglasses over her own eyes.

"How's my best friend this fabulous morning?" Sharpay asked once they pulled back from the hug and Gabriella got buckled up.

"Good; and you?" The brunette replied a she put down the passenger side window.

"The same," Sharpay replied, "Did you and Troy decide on anything further for the wedding?"

"The invitations," she replied with a smile, "I think you'll love them."

"I bet; when are they getting sent out?" Sharpay inquired as she drove the car south on Blue Jay Way towards Hopen Place and then turning left onto Thrasher Avenue.

"As soon as we tell David which one we chose," Gabriella replied as they then turned on Rising Glen Road after going zero point three miles on Thrasher. "So you excited to have Mindy Weiss do your wedding?"

"Yeah," Sharpay replied flashing her best friend, who was strolling through the pink iPhone to find a song to play, before turning her attention back to the road.

"Good," Gabriella replied, finding the song she wanted on Sharpay's iPod, She Will Be Loved by Maroon 5 from The Notebook Soundtrack, and played it.

Beauty queen of only eighteen

She had some trouble with herself

He was always there to help her

She always belonged to someone else

They both began to sing together with smiles as Sharpay.

I drove for miles and miles

And wound up at your door

I've had you so many times but somehow

I want more

I don't mind spending everyday

Out on your corner in the pouring rain

Look for the girl with the broken smile

Ask her if she wants to stay awhile

And she will be loved

She will be loved

Reaching the end of Rising Glen Road, she stopped and watched carefully before pulling onto Sunset Plaza Drive continuing on their way to Beverly Hills and Mindy Weiss' office as they sang.

Tap on my window knock on my door

I want to make you feel beautiful

I know I tend to get so insecure

It doesn't matter anymore

It's not always rainbows and butterflies

It's compromise that moves us along, yeah

My heart is full and my door's always open

You can come anytime you want

I don't mind spending everyday

Out on your corner in the pouring rain

Look for the girl with the broken smile

Ask her if she wants to stay awhile

And she will be loved

And she will be loved

And she will be loved

And she will be loved

Stopping at the stop sign behind a Range Rover, Sharpay waited for her time to pull up to the actual stop sign and turn on her turn signal to turn right onto West Sunset Boulevard as they continued to sing.

I know where you hide

Alone in your car

Know all of the things that make you who you are

I know that goodbye means nothing at all

Comes back and begs me to catch her every time she falls

Tap on my window knock on my door

I want to make you feel beautiful

Turning left onto Larrabee Street after going zero point four miles on West Sunset Blvd, the two girls smiled at each other quickly as Sharpay continued to drive as she song along with Gabriella and Maroon 5.

I don't mind spending everyday

Out on your corner in the pouring rain

Look for the girl with the broken smile

Ask her if she wants to stay awhile

And she will be loved

And she will be loved

And she will be loved

And she will be loved

Turning right onto Santa Monica Boulevard/U.S. 66 West, they giggled as fisted one of their hands and sang into them.

Please don't try so hard to say goodbye

Please don't try so hard to say goodbye

"Turn here and then go one point five miles; the destination should be on the left is what David said," Gabriella informed the blonde before they both continued to sing and Sharpay turned left onto North Beverly Drive.

Yeah

I don't mind spending everyday

Out on your corner in the pouring rain

"There it is," America's Sweetheart pointed out before they each locked eyes and sang the last line of the song.

Try so hard to say goodbye

"Yep, ready to go?" Sharpay asked her.

"You know it, let's go," Gabriella said and together after Sharpay shut off the car, they looped arms and walked into the building once Sharpay had locked the car too.

"…so, Sharpay, when's the wedding?" Mindy asked the blonde haired girl.

"Well, Zeke and I discussed it and we'd actually like to have it on Valentine's Day of next year so, February 14, 2011," Sharpay replied.

"That's cute Shar-Bear," Gabriella told her, "Plus, he'll never forget it then."

"Exactly why I asked him about that date," the blonde said, winking at her best friend.

"Do you have a guest list or a wedding party set up yet?" Mindy asked her, just trying to get the basics.

"The guest list, not yet, no; the wedding party, well we've still got to ask our friends, but if they say yes it's the famous Wildcat couple," Sharpay replied.

Soon later after more questions were asked and answer, the two left the wedding planners office only to be hounded by the paparazzi, who had found them causing them to be circled by their Secret Service Agents and escorted safely to the safety of Sharpay's BMW.


(Applebee's – Noon)

"Hello and good afternoon, my name's Ginny and I'll be your waitress on this bright and sunny afternoon; are you ready to order?" The red headed, green eyed girl asked them with a bright smile.

"Yes, I'll have a Pepsi please and she'll have a cup of hot tea, please," Gabriella told the waitress.

"We're going to take advantage of two for twenty dollars special, and we're going to get an appetizer of Mozzarella Sticks with Marinara Sauce warmed up please, and for the two entrees we're going to have an order of the seven ounce house sirloin steak, well done, and a chicken tenders basket please," Sharpay told the waitress, as she and Gabriella handed their menus back to the red head.

"Would you guys like any dessert?" Ginny asked them, just in case they wanted desert.

"Yes, we'd like two Maple Butter Blondies, and one large Caramel Decadent Shake and a large Strawberry Decadent Shake, too please."

"Alright, I'll be right back with your drinks and appetizer," the red head told the two before scurrying off to hand the order in to the kitchen staff.

And I don't know how it gets better than this

You take my hand and drag me head first

Fearless

And I don't know why but with you I'd dance in a storm in my best dress

Fearless

"Hey, Wildcat; what's up?" Gabriella said, answering her iPhone.

"Hey, Baby Brie; nothing too much, coach just gave us a break from working out. What are you two ladies up too?"

"Well, we just got done with our Mindy Weiss meeting and now were eating lunch at Applebee's; you know a girl's day out and then I think we're going to go to the nail salon and hair salon before we hit up the Beverly Center and quite possibly Rodeo Drive too."

"Well, you have fun with Sharpay. And please be safe, I love you."

"You know me and I love you too," Gabriella replied and as the waitress came back with their appetizer and drinks she said, "Babe, the food's here. I gotta go, I love you and I'll see you later."

"I love you and I'll see you later too."

"What did Lover Boy want?" Sharpay asked her as she took a Mozzarella Stick and broke it in half before sticking it into her own dish of Marinara Sauce.

"Just wanted to see what we were doing and telling me that he loved me and wanted me to be safe," the brunette replied before taking a bit of her Mozzarella Stick that had Marinara Sauce on it.

"These are so, so, so, good," Sharpay stated after swallowing her bit of food.

"Mhm," Gabriella replied with a smile.

"And it's just about to get better," the blonde replied, seeing their food coming over Gabriella's shoulder.

"Huh?" Gabriella said, confused, but the confusion was soon gone when Ginny appeared with two steaming plates of food.

"Okay, Ladies, whose plate is who's?" The red head asked.

"The seven ounce house sirloin steak, well done, is mine," Gabriella replied and smiled when Ginny smiled at her and set the plate down in front of her.

"Can you please cut into it and make sure it's too your liking?" The waitress replied as she set the basket of chicken tenders down in front of the blonde.

Cutting into the steak, Gabriella took her fork and raised it up off the plate a little bit do look at it, seeing that it was well done, she confirmed it with a smile and nod causing Ginny to smile and nod back at her before leaving.

TROYELLA*HSM*ZANESSA*FOREVER

(Mark's Garden)

"Hello, I'm Gabriella Montez and I'd liked to make an appointment to see Mark sometime this week or next week," Gabriella told the lady at the receptionist desk.

The lady smiled at America's Sweetheart and nodded. Going to her computer, the lady tapped a few buttons and clicked on a few things before finally finding the time for an appointment for Gabriella and Troy to meet with Mark, the florist known for doing Jessica Simpson's and Nick Lachey's wedding with Mindey.

"How about Sunday at noon?" The lady asked.

"I'm sorry, but we go to church and then out to brunch at the time," Gabriella replied.

"How about…Monday at four?"

"Monday at four? Can you hold up a second please?"

"Sure," the lady replied.

To: Hubby-to-be

Hey, I'm at Mark's Garden.

Makin' the appt. is Monday at four good for you?

If not, what time and day would be okay for you?

Love Always,

Brie – xoxo

After sending it, she got an instant reply:

From: Hubby-to-Be

Coach said that its fine for Monday at four – he say's hi btw as does the rest of the team.

Can you make it 430 thou?

Love you,

Wildcat – oooo

"Um, can we make it Monday at four-thirty please?" Gabriella asked the lady.

"That's not problem," the lady replied as Gabriella texted her fiancé back:

To: Hubby-to-Be

Its fine so appt. with Mark Held at 430 on Monday.

Mark it down, no pun intended.

Again, she got an instant reply after answering a couple quick questions for the lady:

From: Hubby-to-be

That's fine. Oh, and by something nice. I'm taking you out to dinner tonight, but the only downer is that the whole team's going. Oh and it's on me so, you'll use my credit card Gabriella Marie Montez. BTW, Taylor is going 2 so I told her that you and Sharpay were out shopping, and she'd said text her and she'll meet you guys so you can all go dress shopping, helping each other pick out dresses – hers is on Chad.

Love you,

Wildcat – oooo

After finalizing the meetings for both Troy & Gabriella and Zeke & Sharpay, Sharpay quickly texted Taylor to meet them at Rodeo Drive in front of CHANEL (CC) in fourteen to twenty minutes so Sharpay could help the two girls find new outfits for tonight's team dinner.


(Neiman Marcus)

"So, I'm the only one that needs to get a dress for tonight, correct?" Gabriella asked Taylor as she, Sharpay, and Taylor walked into Beverly Hills' Neiman Marcus (NM).

"Correct," Taylor replied after letting out a sigh of relief from the doors closing out the paparazzi and their camera flashes and yells of questions, asking them to either confirm rumors or wedding details.

"I've got a headache now," Sharpay whined to them as she looped her arms with theirs.

"I feel ya, Shar-Bear; what do you have to get then Tay-Tay?" The brunette asked as she smiled and waved back at a pre-teen who recognized her.

"Shoes, jewelry, handbag, and wrap," Taylor replied, "According to my lunkhead basketball boy."

"That lunkhead basketball boy, not matter how much of a lunkhead he is, ninty-nine point nine percent of the time, is being awfully sweet in buying that all for you," Gabriella reminded the African American as they finally reached the dresses.

"But then again who else was he gonna take," Sharpay commented, "a Lakers Girl?"

"Don't even go there, that's not funny," Taylor told the blonde, giving her a glare while Gabriella unhooked her arm after Taylor retracted hers from Sharpay at her comment, and began to look for a dress.

"It's really not," Gabriella side noted to the two girls as she moved to look at another rack of dresses after gently brushing off a guy that tried to hit on her, even though she was pretty sure he knew who she was and who she was with.

"Did that guy just….?" the two girls asked after seeing this.

"Yeah," America's Sweetheart replied as she continued her search and once finding one that she wanted to try on, she draped it over her arm and continued looking.

"Even though he…?" they asked again.

"Yep," the Filipina replied again doing the same routine she had did when she answered their before question.

"Even though you're….?" The African American and the Caucasian asked again.

"Mmhm."

"Even with your….?"

"Yesssss," the Lakers' player's fiancée replied before walking away and towards the changing room to try on the dresses she had draped her over shoulder.

"Idiot," the two girls shot in the direction that the guy had left in five to ten minutes ago with glares following the word.

The girls than began walking straight towards the shoes area to not only buy shoes for Taylor's and Gabriella's Laker dinner night, but to get their shoe addiction fix.

"Hey, Gabriella?"

"Yeah?" Gabriella replied, turning towards the blonde.

"Remind you of anyone?" The blonde said, holding up a pair of electric blue Miu Miu Open-Toe Patent leather platform pumps.

"Dude, that's not even funny!" Gabriella said with wide eyes, "I was just thinking of him too."

"When aren't you thinking about him?" Taylor asked her and laughed at the look Gabriella shot her. Holding up her hands, she said with a smirk, "Just saying."

"Whatever….Shar-Bear, find me a size seven please," Gabriella informed the blonde, who just laughed right along with Taylor, but handed her the size seven four-and-half-inch heels, nonetheless.

"They pop thanks to your skin complexion," Sharpay told her best friend before she went back to trying on a pair of wedges, but putting them back after looking in the mirror and not liking them.

"Shar-Bear, Tay-Tay, check it," America's Sweetheart told the two girls, showing them the famous pair of 'Something Blue' Manolo Blahnik satin pumps that were future in Sex and the City and was the reason that Big and Carrie got back together in the end, along with a pair of nude cross-strap platform stilettos from Prada.

"Cute!"

"I know right?" Gabriella replied before finally finding a pair of high heels to wear for the night as did Taylor. Together the three girls walked with their boxes to the cash register, scanned their debit cards and signed the receipt, grabbed the bags, thanked the ladies and then left.

*****ZANESSA****FOREVER

"Hey, Babe," Gabriella greeted Troy as she shut off the car once she parked it in the garage where Troy was standing in the doorway waiting for her.

"Hey," Troy replied back as he walked towards her and opened the door for her.

"Thank you," she replied and after she slid out of her car with her tote, cell phone, and car keys, she got up onto her tippy toes and placed a loving kiss on his lips.

"Gabriella Marie, how much shopping did you do on my card?" Her fiancé asked her as he helped her carry her bags in.

"Only the dress, a pair of shoes, and jewelry like you said," she replied, "I got the rest on my card."

"You could have got them on my card, you know?" He told her as they walked up the stairs.

"I know," she said with a shrug of her shoulders as she set down the shoe boxes in their closet while he set her things for tonight on their bed.

"Then why didn't you?" He wondered.

"Because, you know I don't like using your money," she replied, sitting down on the bed beside him and cuddling into his side.

"Gabriella, once we get married, it's going to be our married," he replied softly, "We do already have a joint account, Baby."

"I know." She replied softly.

"Whoa!" Was all Troy could utter as he, dressed spiffy in a black tux with a white button down shirt and skinny black tie, gazed at his fiancé, dressed in a beautiful copper dress with heavy ruching on the strapless dress. Crinkled and fitted in all the right places, the Alberto Makali dress sexily stopped mid-thigh leading way to her tanned and toned legs that we were adorned with black Yves Saint Laurent 'Trib Two' pumps with a four-and-half-inch heel. Topping off the outfit was a thing gold bangle that sat on her forearm, and a pair of gold hoop earrings in her ears while the makeup around her beautiful eyes was done in her signature smokey-eyes, her lips were just done in clear, vanilla flavored lip gloss, and her hair was brushed and semi-straightened and curled and pulled to sit over her left shoulder in a simple side ponytail.

Gabriella just giggled and blushed at his comment before she gently took his hand and let him lead her out to the waiting limo, where he helped her slide in.


From: Shar-Bear

You & Tay look fabulous(:

Thx for the pic.

Love you four.

Love you more.

Love Always,

Shar-Bear

Gabriella smiled at the text as did Taylor, who was dressed in a cute and chic Victoria Beckham deep-purple satin-crepe dress with a fabulous bell skirt that fell mid-thigh. With the V-neck dress, she paired it off with a pair of snakeskin Alexandre Birman shoes, a black Jimmy Choo clutch, and a silver and black Kara Ross ring.

"She's right, you do look fabulous," Gabriella told Taylor as the two girls followed their significant other towards the rest of the Lakers and their dates.

"So do you," Taylor shot back with a smile at how Chad glared down anyone who dared to approach or look at his girl while Troy just laughed until guys started to notice his girl, and seeing one guy in particular looking at Gabriella, the African American female asked, "Is that the same guy…?"

Yeah"

"from earlier today that tried too?"

"Yep…"

"Even with….?"

"Mmhm," Gabriella replied as Troy sat down and then she sat down on his lap after hugging Khloe Kardashian-Odom, who was married to Lamar Odom.

"Even though….?"

"Yesss," America's Sweetheart replied.

"Stalker," Taylor whispered as she glared in the direction of the guy from earlier in the day that they had seen with Sharpay at NM, causing Gabriella because she had texted Sharpay telling her about it, and she had replied with the same word that Taylor used…

To Be Continued…


Well, here it is! Now, it would have been done sooner, but I'm on Prom committee and I've working on that, getting round for finals, and then no Internet for awhile. I do hope you guys like this chapter though. Please let me know what you think.

BTW, the pictures that go to this chapter will be posted the same day this goes up && Gabriella's outfit and Troy's, is the same one's Z&V wore to St. Jude's Estralla Por La Vida Gala in Los Angeles, California on April 06, 2010.

Love Always,

J*L*A
