A/N I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING! I ONLY OWN THIS PLOT! I'm REALLY sorry for the wait. I've been dealing with writer's block. :( I hate when I get writer's block. How do you guys overcome your writer's block? Also which song should the Wildcats do for the Final Jam? Something from the second or third movie. Any ideas? Anyway, here is the next chapter.


It had been a few weeks since that phone call to Kelsi, and he couldn't wait for Gabriella to figure out what he was planning for her. He had a lot of way in his head that he saw this playing out, but he never did expect it to play out the way it did.

It was first thing in the morning, and Gabriella had just left her cabin to head to breakfast. Out of nowhere she felt arms wrap around her and pinned her arms to her side. She let out a blood curling scream and started kicking her legs frantically.

Hearing her scream Troy came running out of his cabin. He saw what was happening but just stood there smirking.

"Troy help! Troy help!" Gabriella screamed. She continued to kick until she managed to kick her "attacker" right between the legs. She was released from their grip as they dropped to the floor.

Then she heard a voice.

"Ouch! Gabster was that really necessary."

There was only one person who called her that.

One she was released she turned and gasped. "CHAD! Sorry, I thought you were Axel." She blushed.

Troy laughed and walked over to Gabriella. "I told you not to sneak up on her."

"Wait you knew he was coming?" Gabriella asked.

"Yep, he's not the only one."

Gabriella looked out in the distance and gasped. The entire gang of Wildcats were headed their way. Excitement ran through her, and she ran toward them meeting them half way and hugging everyone tightly.

Troy and Chad came over to everyone.

"Surprise." Troy smiled.

"You did this?" Gabriella asked.

"Yep, and that's not all. Kelsi." Troy said.

Kelsi handed Gabriella a sheet of music.

"Oh my gosh, Kelsi, is this…"

"A song for us to sing at the Final Jam written by Kelsi just for us? Yep. Also, I've talked with Brown and the Wildcats will be singing and performing with us."

"Troy…" Gabriella started as happy tears filled her eyes.

"I even invited Mrs. Darbus to watch us; the only thing is we can't do is be on the East High stage."

Gabriella hugged Troy tightly. "This is the best surprise ever. Thank you so much, Troy."

"You're welcome, Baby Girl." Troy kissed her head and hugged her tightly.

"So what happens now?" Gabriella asked.

"Why don't we introduce you guys to the others and then it's time to get to work and rehearse," Troy said.

"Wait, I want to do something," Gabriella said.

"What?" Troy asked.

"What team?" Gabriella asked.

"Wildcats!" they all cheered.

"What team?"

"Wildcats!"

"Wildcats!"

"Getcha head in the game!"

Gabriella giggled. "I missed that.

"We missed you too, Gabster," Chad said.

They shared one last group hug. Then Troy led the way and headed over to the one of the empty classrooms.

"Hey these are the Wildcats, this is Chad, his girlfriend Taylor, Zeke, Jason, Martha, and Kelsi. Wildcats these are our other friends. Mitchie, Caitlyn, Peggy and Ella and then this is Jason, Nate, and this is Sha….."

Taylor cut off Troy with a scream. "YOU'RE SHANE GRAY! YOU'RE THE LEAD SINGER OF CONNECT 3 OH MY GOSH!"

Gabriella giggled.

Shane smiled softly. "That's me. Nice to meet you." He offered his hand to shake. Taylor took his hand. "I'm….I'm…I'm…"

"Taylor," Gabriella said.

"No, that's not it."

Gabriella giggled and shook her head.

"Shane's girlfriend is Mitchie," Troy said with a smile.

"Oh, and I have a boyfriend too. His name is…is…is…"

"Chad," Troy said.

"No that's not it."

Troy laughed. "Ok, I think it's time we Wildcats went to rehearse."

"Rehearse for what?" Taylor asked.

Giggling Gabriella grabbed Taylor's hand and pulled her away from Shane. "We will see you guys around."

"Wait!"

Everyone turned to see Brown, Connie, and Shelly headed their way. The second Gabriella saw Shelly she turned white and whimpered. She quickly hid behind Troy. "No."

"Who is that?" Chad asked. "Is that Axel?"

"No. It's my Mom, Brown, and Shelly. Shelly is Gabriella's case worker." Mitchie said.

"What's going on?" Troy asked as they reached them.

"We've got good news," Shelly said. "I've found you a foster family to live with."

"I don't want a foster family!" Gabriella cried. "I want to stay with the Wildcats."

"How about us?" Connie asked softly. "Mitchie, My Husband Steve, and myself?"

Gabriella peeked her head out. "What?"

"Steve and Connie have proved to be the perfect foster family for you," Shelly said.

"Oh, well…I mean…I guess they aren't strangers." Gabriella sighed.

"Did I mention we're moving to New Mexico for Steve's new job."

"What?!" Gabriella shrieked as her head shot up. "Really?"

"Yes, really. So you'll be living with us in New Mexico." Connie smiled.

"YES!" Gabriella screamed. She hugged Mitchie and Connie tightly.

"Group Hug!" Chad said, and everyone joined in on the hug. Gabriella felt a lot better now, knowing she had a good family to go home to, and she would still be close to the Wildcats.

After getting the final details and some more information about what was going to happen everyone headed to the music room to rehearse.


After rehearsing for a few hours Gabriella spoke. "I've got to use the restroom I'll be back."

"Should one of us go with you?" Chad asked. "I mean, in case you run into Axel?"

"Thanks, but I think I'll ok. He lost custody over for me for good. I'm not scared of him anymore." With that, she left the cabin they were in.

Everyone looked to Troy. He laughed. "Glad I'm not the only one who caught on. She is terrified of Axel but tries to hide it. She is right though, she should be ok just going to the bathroom. They aren't far from here."

"Just in case want us to go after her?" Taylor asked.

"Please." Troy nodded.

Kelsi and Taylor followed after Gabriella.


Just as they went inside Gabriella was walking out. She giggled. "Troy sent you, didn't he?"

The girls just blushed.

"It ok. I figured he would. But I promise I'm ok."

"Good, but we just wanted to be sure. Come on, let's get back." Taylor said.

"I'm glad you guys are here," Gabriella said softly. "Axel stays away the more people that are around me."

"Good. Then we're never leaving your side." Kelsi smiled.

Gabriella smiled too. "Let's go."

The three of them headed back to the others. Gabriella felt safer than she had in a long time. She also had some amazing friends and an even more wonderful boyfriend.


A/N Thoughts? Was anyone surprised that Connie and Mitchie ended up being the perfect Foster Family for Gabriella? So what song should I use for Final Jam? I'll take any song but I'm picking more between one that Kelsi wrote and that all the Wildcats performed in.
