Chapter 12: Ending Part Three
Previously on What If:
"True so we are still going to get married on the date that we planned and be able to still be with each other. Always and forever."
"That's right! Always and forever."
They kiss and leave the gym to meet up with their friends. Since Zeke was throwing a party over at his house to celebrate and for some to say goodbye too.
The rest of the party went great. Troy and Sharpay danced and talked with all of their friends. Each one happy about the next chapter of their lives; which just happens to be college. Troy, Sharpay, Ryan, Gabriella, Taylor, and Chad all got into New Mexico University. Although Sharpay had applied and got into Yale she decided to wait until Law school to go there. She figured that she could finish up her requirements at NMU and then transfer to Yale Law when it was time. Troy was happy to go wherever she goes.
Freshman Year of College:
NMU Dorms: Troy and Chad's Room. (Yes Troy and Chad are rooming together until Troy and Sharpay get married.)
Troy wakes up to his alarm going off and reaches his hand over to turn it off. He gets up and looks over to see Chad still asleep. So he decides to use his whistle to get Chad up. Knowing that if he didn't than Chad was going to sleep through most of the day and complain about missing breakfast and being hungry.
"TIME TO GET UP CHAD!" Troy yells and that plus the whistle wakes Chad up. Who looks at Troy wondering why he was being woken up at 6 am? (Their morning class starts at 9 am.)
"Five more minutes please class doesn't start for another three hours." Chad says.
"Nope, if I let you go back to sleep then the girls are going to come over and wonder what is taking us forever to get to the Cafeteria. After that we are going to get lectures until we are both married. Now do you want that to happen?" Troy says before adding "Again!"
Chad thinks for a minute and decides that Troy is right and that he didn't really want to get a lecture from the girls. Especially Sharpay and Taylor and he might have a lot of them over the years.
"Nope," Chad answers and rushes to get ready while Troy just sits down on his bed and watches him. "Let's go."
(Time skip to the end of the day)
Before the gang knew it was the end of the day and everyone was at the student lounge center just sitting down and talking. Troy and Sharpay were of course making out and Ryan was too busy trying to bet Chad at a video game to notice.
"See you tomorrow love." Sharpay says.
"See you tomorrow my love." Troy says back.
"Don't forget we are meeting with a wedding planner tomorrow as well to see if we would like her to plan our wedding."
"Don't worry babe, I'll be there to help you."
Troy and Sharpay kiss and leave the student lounge center. Troy wanted to walk Sharpay to her dorm room to make sure that she got there safe. You can never be too careful especially when you are in a new setting. Plus he also saw a lot of guys eyeing her.
Summer Time:
(There are going to be a lot of time jumps for you guys. I am thinking about doing another story where I add what happened during the time jumps. )
During the course of their Freshman Year of College Troy and Sharpay decided that it would be easier for them and all of their friends to get married in the summer. Everyone was able to come out and join them when they said "I do" to each other.
It's the morning of the Troypay wedding and Sharpay is with her bridesmaids getting readying at the church. She has just put on her handpicked designed wedding dress.
"Oh my gosh Pay, you look absolutely stunning!" Taylor her best friend and maid of honor said while all of the other girls just nodded their heads.
"Thanks girls! I'm just so nervous and happy that this day is finally here." Sharpay says looking at her engagement ring.
"Okay moving on to the check list." Taylor begins while the girls just roll their eyes knowing that this was topical Taylor. Not that it was a bad thing or anything to be organized but, Taylor had a tendency to go overboard. "For your something new: It's your dress, Something borrowed: Your mom's gold bracelet which she wants back by the way, Something old is: Your T+S forever necklace, and now for your something blue…" Taylor starts saying before she is interrupted by Sharpay's gasp. She had forgotten her something blue at home.
"Oh no I forgot my blue lacy garter."
Taylor looks at her and continues, "As I was saying and no you didn't forget it I grabbed it before we left. Anyways Troy sent over a pair of blue sapphire earrings to me last night. Plus your garter is blue and you guys picked blue and purple for your wedding colors."
"OMGee thank you so much Taylor I don't know what I would've done without you. Troy is so amazing. I'm so lucky to be marrying him today."
The girls all look at each other knowing just how much Troy and Sharpay love each other.
After the Vows:
(Now is where we are going to add a song.)
"You may now kiss the bride." Father Josiah said to Troy.
Troy turns to look at Sharpay and they both close their eyes and kiss each other.
"Ladies and Gentleman it is my honor to announce from the first time ever Mr. and Mrs. Troy Bolton."
Everyone cheers and shouts for the happy couple.
("Everlasting Love" with Adrienne Bailon, Drew Seeley, Jeff Lewis, Chelsea Kane and Cast from "Lovestruck: The Musical" soundtrack. Think of the HSM cast singing this.)
Hearts go astray
Leaving hurt when they go
Troy starts off while looking into Sharpay's eyes
I went away
Just when you needed me so
Troy swings back some of Sharpay's long blonde hair off of her shoulders
Filled with regret
I come back beggin' you
Sharpay joins while looking into Troy's eyes and hands him her hand. She looks to Taylor who hands her bouquet back to her.
Forgive, forget
Where's the love we once knew?
Sharpay finishes before they exit the church and before you know it they are at their wedding reception.
Open up your eyes
Then you'll realize
As Troy and Sharpay enter their wedding reception, Sharpay turns around and sees Taylor and hands her back her bouquet.
Here I stand with my
Everlasting love
Troy and Sharpay start off dancing and soon everyone joins with them.
Need you by my side
Wanna be your bride
You'll never be denied
Everlasting love
Troy picks up Sharpay and spins her around while she laughs.
From the very start
Open up your heart
Be a lasting part of
Everlasting love
(Real love, will last forever, real love)
Will last forever
When life's river flows
No one really knows
Girls are now dancing together while the guys are dancing together on the other side
Till someone's there to show
The way to lasting love
Sharpay looks to Troy and draws a heart and they join each other again as does the gang.
Like the sun that shines
Endlessly shines
You always will be mine
It's eternal love
When other loves are gone
Ours will be strong
We have our very own
Everlasting love
(Real love will last forever,
Real love will last forever,)
(You give me, you give me, you give me,
Everlasting love [x2])
Everlasting love
(You give me, you give me, you give me,
Everlasting love)
You know you give it to me
Everlasting love
Troy and Sharpay separate while the others continue and form a heart. Troy and Sharpay exit the heart being the arrow.
Open up your eyes
Then you'll realize
Here I stand with my
Everlasting love
Need you by my side
Wanna be your bride
You'll never be denied
Taylor runs and grabs the bouquet and hands it to Sharpay so that way she can throw it to all of the single girls to see who will be the next one to get married.
Everlasting love
From the very start
Open up your heart
Be a lasting part of
Everlasting love
Love
(Real love will last forever [x2])
Love yeah
Sharpay throws the bouquet and guess who catches it…..If you guessed Taylor than you are right. Chad is too busy being in shock while Taylor is jumping up and down with joy. Troy and Sharpay just look up at each other with love in their eyes knowing that their future has just begun.
Sophomore Year of College:
After Troy and Sharpay got married over the summer and got an apartment together everything went back to normal. Now it was time for the gang to go back and start their sophomore years and be happy that their new chapter was beginning again.
As the year went by Troy and Sharpay faced many challenges as newlyweds as all newlyweds do. Of course they had their fights here and there and the gang was always there for them. Troy was getting offers to play pro basketball but he always turned them down. As he wanted to finish up with his business degree first and to have something as a back incase basketball ended. Sharpay of course always supported his decision and told him that she was and will go anywhere in the world with him.
Junior Year of College:
Now as they entered into their junior year the gang began talking about the future. Sharpay and Troy are still married and going strong as ever with fights here and there. But Sharpay was also keeping a secret from Troy and didn't know how to tell him.
Troypay's Aparment:
"Okay, Pay you have to tell me what is going on here?" Troy finally says after sitting down on their bed.
"I was offered this amazing internship at a really great law firm over the summer." She confuses.
"That's amazing Pay! But why didn't you take it?"
"Because I was scared."
"Scared of what? Me?"
"No, it wasn't you I was scared of." She answers while still looking down at her hands, "I was scared about having to start over without all of our friends. Troy, if I were to take this internship you and I would have to move and I wasn't ready for that yet."
Troy takes his hand and gently moves her head to have their eyes on each other. "Pay, you and I both know that all of our friends will always be here for us. Whether if it's here or wherever life takes us. So now what are you thinking?"
"I'm thinking about calling them and seeing if that offer is still available."
"Great now call."
Sharpay calls the law firm in Boston and finds out that they still had a spot for her and tells them that she will take it.
"So they still want me." She begins.
"And?"
"And they want us there in three days."
"Then we will make that happen even if you have to go and I follow after."
"I love you."
"I love you too."
They kiss and decide that they needed to tell the gang the news. Already knowing full well that Chad and Ryan were going to take it the hardest.
(Think Cory and Shawn in BMW)
"So when do you have to leave?" Taylor asks while trying not to cry.
"I have to be there in three days."
"THREE DAYS?" Ryan yells and starts crying. "But that is too soon."
"I know and I wish there was another way. But this is a once in lifetime chance and I need to take it."
"You better write and everything. Because if you don't then I will go all the way to Boston and track you down." Ryan says while everyone agrees.
"So I guess this means that we are all growing up now?" Chad asks while looking at Troy.
"It would've happened either ways man. Plus I'm going to accept the Boston Rebels offer and join their team while I finish up my degree."
"I just can't believe that you and Pay are leaving us."
"It's not going to be forever and plus you guys can always come and visit us. Just call first." Troy says and sees that Sharpay is nodding her head agreeing. (The gang has a history of always interrupting them.)
"You got it. So when do all of us say goodbye."
"Tomorrow." Sharpay starts off, "With me at least and then Troy is going to follow in two weeks. He is going to put the apartment back on the market and pack up everything before he leaves."
Before anyone knew it was the day to say goodbye to Sharpay.
"You and I have never been too far apart. What am I going to do without you?" Ryan asks crying.
"You are going to finish up school and you are always welcome to come and stay with us no matter what. It's going to be hard on all of us to be apart. But we are going to stay in touch." Sharpay says giving Ryan a hug while crying.
"Girl you better call when you land and when you get to wherever you are staying. You understand me?" Taylor says and asks crying and hugging Sharpay.
"You know it."
"Good now hug the others because I'm going to keep crying."
Sharpay goes and hugs the rest of the gang. Everyone giving her a tearful goodbye and good luck hug and kiss. Troy goes to meet her by the door.
"Just think you and I will be together again soon. You are going to kill it on your first day. Now call me after you land and after you get to our new place."
"You will be the first call as always."
They kiss one last time and she exits the door. Chad goes up to Troy and gives him a hug.
"It's only for two weeks bro."
"I know."
Senior Year of College:
It's been a year since Sharpay and Troy moved to Boston for her internship. As promised Troy moved out to Boston two weeks after Sharpay did. They didn't leave their new place or room for a whole day. Now it was a new beginning and they were both happy.
School was starting up again and Sharpay was almost done with her first degree before law school in the fall. Troy on the other hand was glad to be done after this year. The Boston Rebels were amazing and they were winning.
Six Months Later:
Sharpay has just gotten home from the doctors. She hadn't been feeling well for the past four weeks and decided to get checked. Troy is due to come home from his away game. Sharpay didn't tell him that she wasn't feeling good for the past four weeks because she didn't want to keep him from anything. Plus she didn't know if it was a flu or bug.
"Hey babe I'm home." Troy announces and sees his wife sitting on their couch. "Hey what's wrong?"
"Okay before you get mad…" Sharpay begins.
"Mad? Why would I get mad?"
"Please let me finish and get this out ok?" Sharpay asks giving him a look. Troy just nods his head and she lets out a breathe before continuing. "So as I was saying. Before all of that, and before you get mad. Over the past four weeks I haven't been feeling really well."
Troy just nods his head and lets her continue.
"So today I went to the doctors and the doctors gave me some really huge news…."
Troy looks and nods as he doesn't know what to say.
"We are going to have a baby!" She says.
"A baby?"
"Yes are you happy?"
"Of course I am. But I'm beyond happy I'm more like excited. We're going to have a baby!"
"You're not mad?"
"No, I'm not mad that you kept begin sick from me. More like sad and you know that."
"True, and I wanted you to go to that game and kill it out there."
"I know and I love you."
"I love you too."
They kiss and decide to call their parents first before the gang. Everyone was so happy and excited for them. Ryan was excited to be an uncle.
Eight Months Later:
Everyone is now in Boston New York after graduating from College to welcome the newest member to their family. Troy and Sharpay's baby is about to arrive. They are in fact at the hospital and everyone is waiting for Troy to come out to announce that the baby has arrived. Now only Troy and Sharpay know what they are having but having told anyone. Not even their parents no matter how hard the parents tried Troypay never told them.
After two hours of waiting everyone looks up and sees Troy coming out.
"Well do I have a nephew or a niece?" Ryan asks.
"Shar and I have a beautiful baby girl!" Troy says with a smile on his face.
All the girls scream and the guys just know that they are going to be scaring off any boy who comes near their niece.
"What's her name?" Taylor asks.
"Follow me to the room so Shar and I can tell you all together."
So everyone follows Troy to a room where they see Sharpay holding hers and Troy's daughter. Everyone awes at the sight.
"So what is her name please?" Taylor asks again a little to in patient.
"Her name is Aroura Taylor Gabriella Bolton."
"Aww" The girls say.
"The reason being is that we want you and Gabby to both be her godmothers. While Chad and Ryan are her godfathers. Troy and I know that if anything is to ever happen to us; we know our little girl will be loved and cared for."
Everyone smiles and Troy looks at his family. He can't help and think about what Sharpay said. He is determined to make sure that they both live happy and forever until it's their times to go. Which he hopes is a long time from now. But like Father Time told him that everything happens for a reason and while other might not be able to change their fates. He was glad that he was able to change his or did he really change it?
