APRIL 2010
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA
TROY & GABRIELLA'S HOUSE
"Hey Whore," Khloe's voice came through the other line.
"Hey Hoe," Gabriella greeted back with a giggle, "What's up?"
"Nothing much besides Rob and I wanting you to come get mani-pedi's with us," the NBA wife replied.
"Sure, if you guys make a few wedding stops with me," the NBA girlfriend bargained.
"Sweet, of course we will," Khloe replied, "plus I wanna go shopping with my sisters later and they want you and Sharpay to come with us. What do you think?"
"I'll text Sharpay later about it, but I'm positive she'll go with us," Gabriella replied.
"Sweet, well I'll pick you up soon, Hoe-bag be ready."
"Don't worry, Whore, I will be," Gabriella replied, "I love you."
"I love ya too, bye, Skank."
"Bye Whore."
Gabriella rolled her eyes and hung up the house phone before she quickly logged into Skype and waited for her fiancé to get on. After waiting thirty minutes, Gabriella gave up and shut her laptop before getting up off the bed to head to the closet and grab her clothes for the day and to take a shower.

"AMERICA'S SWEETHEART, YOU HERE?" Khloe yelled throughout the house after one of the Agents let her in.
"UPSTAIRS IN THE BEDROOM," Gabriella yelled back down and listened as two set of footsteps could be heard.
"Hello Beautiful," Khloe, Kourtney, and Kim Kardashian's only brother and youngest sibling, Robert Kardashian, greeted Gabriella with a smile.
"Hello Rob," Gabriella greeted back as she sprayed mousse in her hair and worked it throughout her hair.
"You almost ready, Whore?" Khloe asked her as she reclined against Gabriella and Troy's bed.
"Almost, Hoe," Gabriella replied with a giggle as she quickly straightened her hair.
"Kay, Hoe-bag."
"Why do you girls always insist of those mean names?" Robert asked them as he leaned against the bathroom doorway.
"I honestly have no idea," they both replied at the same time before laughing while Robert just rolled his eyes.
"So how are you this beautiful California morning?" Gabriella asked Khloe as she strayed a little bit of hairspray in her hair to let her straightened locks stay in place before quickly fixing her make-up and then spraying her Love Spell body spray on.
"Great, besides missing the hubby; how about you?"
"Okay, but missing my boy too," Gabriella replied with a sad smile as she walked out of the bathroom.
"Lovin' the outfit," Khloe said noticing the dark brown scrunch leatherette flat boots, the dark wash pair of 'button porkchop' skinny jeans, the cream colored 'surplus knit' belted sweater with a gold 'love heart pendant' necklace around her neck and a 'hearts' charm bracelet around her wrist.
"Thank you, yours too," Gabriella replied, "both of yours."
"Thanks," the female Odom and the male Kardashian replied together while Gabriella grabbed her black framed Chanel sunglasses to put on, a jacket, and her favorite handbag.
"Ready?" she asked them.
"Definitely," they both replied and together the three left the house, Gabriella completely forgetting about her cell phone that was buzzing with Troy's picture on it.

"KHLOE, GABRIELLA, ROBERT OVER HERE!"
"KHLOE! KHLOE! KHLOE!"
"GABRIELLA, LOOK RIGHT HERE, GIVE US A SMILE!"
"GABRIELLA, GABRIELLA, GABRIELLA!"
"KHLOE, GABRIELLA ARE YOU GOING TO FLY OUT TO THE LAKERS'S GAME?"
"ROBERT WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH THESE TWO?"
"ROBERT, ARE YOU DATING ADRIAN?"
"KHLOE! ROBERT!"
"GABRIELLA, GABRIELLA,!"
"AMERICA'S SWEETHEART OVER HERE!"
"Damn, they get more annoying every day," Robert said as they entered Warren Tricomi Salon in West Hollywood.
"They sure do," Gabriella agreed as Khloe walked up to the lobby desk to check in.
"They'll be right with us," Khloe informed them as she approached them.
Gabriella nodded and with a smile pulled out her phone to check to see if she had any messages, noticing that she had none she frowned before she excused herself from the two siblings and dialed Troy's cell number. Her frown turned deeper when she only got his voicemail, with a sigh she left a message, "Hey Wildcat it's me…I guess you're at practice or hanging with the guys. I was just calling because….never mind that's not important. I miss you and I love you Wildcat."
"Everything okay?" Robert asked her, concern written on his and Khloe's faces as they looked at America's Sweetheart.
"Yeah," she replied, glad to know that they couldn't see through her fake smiles and facial expressions.
"Mrs. Odom, we're ready for you now," the receptionist informed the group.
"Alright, thank you," Khloe thanked her before leading her brother and the frowning Filipina to the Manicure/Pedicure part of the salon.

"…alright, bye Lammy, I love you and miss you too," Khloe said ending her phone call with her husband and Gabriella's fiancé's teammate, Lamar Odom.
"What's he up too?" Robert asked his only married sister wanting to know how his brother-in-law was doing.
"Practice, practice, and more…" Khloe said.
"Practice," Gabriella finished for her with her cup of sparkling water in her hand.
"I didn't know Troy called you," Khloe commented.
"He didn't," Gabriella replied, "I forgot my phone."
"Ah, I see," Khloe replied before taking a sip of her sparkling water.
"Thank you," Gabriella thanked her cosmetologist who had did perfect work with her French manicure and pedicure along with the massages that came with them.
"You're very welcome, Ms. Montez," the girl, Alley, thanked the President's Daughter and gladly accepted the five dollar tip from her.
"Ready?" Robert asked the women as they all finished up.
"As we'll ever be," Khloe replied as she slipped her sunglasses on as did Gabriella and Robert before they headed into the mass of flashing lights and screaming people.
Once safely in Khloe's Mercedes-Benz, Khloe asked Gabriella, "So what's the wedding stuff you got to do today that you wanted me to tag along to with you?"
"Just a few odds and ends, nothing to major because Troy wants to be with me," Gabriella replied from her seat in the passenger seat while Robert sat in the back.

TROY'S & CHAD'S SUITE – 11PM
"Damn that game was intense," Chad commented as they walked into their suite and flopped down on his bed face first.
"I know, I'm going to have a few bruises," Troy agreed as he too flopped down face first on his bed.
"I can't believe we lost," Chad said as he flipped over to lay on his back.
"We played a good game though," Troy said, trying to look on the upside.
"Yeah I guess," Chad replied with a sigh, "I'm going to call Taylor before I go to bed."
"Sure dude, I think I'll call Brie too," Troy replied as he pulled out his iPhone.
Troy groaned when he got Gabriella's voicemail and plugged his phone in before deciding to turn on the TV as he got ready for bed and while Chad was out on the balcony talking to his girlfriend. As Troy was changing out of his jeans, he stopped mid-way when E!News, the channel playing, had caught his attention:
"Now to close out tonight, we have Ryan Seacrest with a special celebrity spotting. Hey Ryan." Giuliana Rancic said with a smile in her yellow form fitting dress and heels.
"Hey, Giuliana," Ryan dressed jeans, a button down white shirt, and black blazer replied, "That's right I do have a special celebrity spotting or more like America's equivalent to English royal spotting. America's Sweetheart, Gabriella Montez was spotted out all day today hanging out with friends."
Troy watched as a picture of her, Robert, and Khloe leaving Warren-Tricomi Salon popped up on the screen.
"In this picture, she was out and about with Robert Kardashian and Khloe Kardashian Odom getting mani-pedi's before the trio where then seen doing some wedding things together," Ryan continued.
Troy watched as video popped up of Gabriella hugging Robert before leaving with Khloe in her car.
"The two females then left Robert at the Jenner household and had made their way back into Hollywood and to the home of America's Sparkle Sharpay Evans before they were seen pulling up in front of Kim Kardashian's house."
The Laker watched as another picture popped up of the girls waiting in the car as Kim Kardashian walked out of her house, before another one popped up of the girls parked in front of Kourtney Kardashian's house picking her up as she walked out of the house.
"The girls then made their way to Kourtney's house before finally all five girls did some retail therapy at the Beverly Center before finally stopping to have dinner at, and here's the kicker, Subway, and people say that they aren't just average people," Ryan said with a smile as picture of the girls eating or standing in line at Subway laughing popped up on the screen.
"Well, America's Sweetheart sure is busy while her fiancé's away isn't she?" Giuliana asked Ryan with a smile.
"She sure is," Ryan replied before closing off the show, letting the screen slide to the credits.
"Hey, man, you okay?" Chad asked his best friend who was staring at the screen as The Soup came on.
"Yeah," he replied and seeing Chad's look he flopped back on the bed, this time on his back, and put his forearm over his eyes and said, "I just miss her so much and seeing her out and about just makes me realize that as much as I love my job and basketball, I hate that it takes me away from Gabriella for most of the year."
"Troy, she'll always be there when you get home," Chad said trying to comfort him as he sat down on his bed, "She loves you and misses you just as much as you love and miss her. You'll be home before you both know it."
"Yeah, I guess you're right," Troy replied.
"Aren't I always?" Chad asked him confused causing his best friend to roll his eyes and chuckle at his best friend.
