Preparing for an Icy Day

Ryan groaned the next morning feeling the sun on his face and hearing his alarm blaring. Immediately sensing his sister's presence in his bed before he actually felt the weight of her head and arm on his chest, he carefully reached over to turn the alarm off not wanting to jar her too bad. Sharpay would be in an even worse mood if she woke up to what she called "the incessant annoying torture device",other wise known as an alarm clock. Ryan had always woken her up. He stroked her hair with one hand while gently shaking her shoulder with the other.

"Shar, come on Sis, time to wake up." He said softly, smiling as he saw Sharpay's eyes flutter open.

"I'm awake, I'm awake." She mumbled looking up at Ryan sleepily but making no effort to move.

"I've gotta get ready for school now Shar, and I can't do with with you lying on me." He told her grinning.

"Oh why not? And here I thought you could multi-task!" She teased lightly as she rolled off of him. "You know, be my pillow and get dressed at the same time."

"Sorry to disappoint Sis." He said chuckling as he stood up. "I'll use mom and dad's shower. You've got a lot more hair stuff than I have." He said as he grabbed his hair gel out of their bathroom.

"Ok." He heard his Sharpay mumble her head buried in one of his pillows. Sighing he dropped his gel onto the bed as he walked over and sat back down on the bed. "I didn't want it to have to come to this but you leave me no choice." Ryan said looking at Sharpay trying to hide his smile as he began tickling his sister.

"Ryyyaaannn!" Sharpay squealed as she squirmed and rolled away from her brother to escape the attacking fingers.

Ryan laughed and scooted as his sister rolled to be able to keep tickling her. Finally Sharpay jumped off the bed trying to escape her brother. She glared at her brother who just looked at her amused from where he was still kneeling on his bed. "So, are you awake now?" He asked innocently.

Even as she fought it, she ended up smiling back at her brother. "I guess." She sighed.

"Good, cause if we don't get a move on we're gonna have to skip Star Bucks..." Ryan trailed off laughing as Sharpay was in the bathroom with the shower running before he could even finish the sentence. He was still laughing as he grabbed a towel out of the closet in his parents bathroom and got into the shower himself.

Twenty minutes later Ryan was standing in his closet trying to decide on what he should wear for the day. Pink was definitely out. As much as he liked his pink clothes, today was definitely not the day for them. He had worn blue the day before so he finally decided on a green collared shirt with his white pants. After he was finished getting dressed he walked into the bathroom and fix his hair before returning to his room to select his hat. He already knew which one he wanted as he pulled a box down from one of the shelves in his closet and pulled out the white hat with green stripes on the side that Sharpay had gotten him for their last birthday. He looked in the mirror as he placed the hat on his head. "Perfect." He said to himself before glancing down at his watch. Sharpay should be close to ready by now Ryan thought as he crossed back into the bathroom and entered her room. He grinned seeing Sharpay's green cap sleeved collared shirt lying on her bed. It wasn't an exact match but it was a complimenting shade to his green shirt, and therefore perfect for the day ahead.

Ryan laughed as he heard banging coming from Sharpay's closet, and moved closer when he heard her yelp in pain. "Shar? You alright?" He asked, still chuckling. He winced at the death glare his sister shot him as she came limping out of her closet holding her white boots.

"I was trying to get a box down and my boots fell and hit my toes." Sharpay whined, sitting on her bed rubbing her toes. Finally she pulled the boots on grimacing before standing and straightening her white mini skirt.

"I don't care how much you ate last night, you're eating a hamburger at lunch today Shar." He told her sternly frowning as he gestured towards her slightly protruding ribs.

She looked at her stomach before crossing her arms to cover it and glaring at her brother again. "My weight is fine Ry. I'm not too skinny."

"I know. I'm just trying to keep it that way." Ryan responded grinning to which Sharpay couldn't help but smile back.

In 9th grade, after everything that happened with Troy and Chad, the twins had thrown themselves into preparing for their first high school drama audition. They were both so focused on their audition, that neither of them really paid attention to the weight Sharpay was losing due to practicing so much and her decreased appetite because of the Troy/Chad situation. At least until she passed out during one of their rehearsals. Ryan shuddered thinking of how helpless he had felt only being able to hold her hand in the ambulance and how anxious he had been in the waiting room until the doctor had come to talk to him. Sharpay had been ten pounds underweight and her body had just collapsed under the strain of all the rehearsals and not eating enough. Ever since then Ryan had made sure to pay attention to his sister's weight, particularly when she was stressed or upset to make sure that didn't happen again. He knew she didn't have an eating disorder. She just tended to get distracted and not eat or at least not eat enough to combat all their practicing.

"Since I ate all those cookies last night, how about I eat a salad?" Sharpay asked. "Ok, how about a salad and I split a hamburger with you?" She amended quickly in response to the glare she received from her brother. Though most people didn't realize it, Ryan's glares made Sharpay look like Gabriella attempting to glare at someone.

"Deal." Ryan answered rolling his eyes. "And unless you're planning on going to school like that," Ryan gestured to her upper half which was naked except for her bra, "I suggest you get your shirt on so we can go."

"Tough talk from someone who wouldn't let me out of the house like this anyways." Sharpay teased as she picked up her shirt. "Help me?" She asked giving her brother her best puppy dog face.

"Whatever gets us out of here." Ryan said sighing before smiling at Sharpay's face. After Sharpay stuck her arms through the sleeves of the shirt, he managed to help her keep the collar and front of her shirt from smudging her makeup or making her hair up. "I don't know why you can't just get dressed like a normal person." Ryan questioned as Sharpay straightened her shirt.

"Ryan you know perfectly well if I put my shirt on before fixing my hair my shirt would smell like hairspray. And if I had my shirt on when I did my makeup, I could get some on it! That means taking the time to decide on a whole new outfit. Would you prefer that?" She asked him smirking.

"And barely get to school by nine? No thanks." Ryan responded.

"Good, then don't complain." She retorted smiling.

"Fine, ready to go Sis?" Ryan asked.

"Almost. I still need that box I was trying to get when these evil boots attacked my toes." Sharpay answered glaring at her boots.

Laughing Ryan walked toward her closet. "Don't worry, I'll get it. Which box?" He asked as he entered her closet and looked at her shelves.

"Pink one on the right." He heard her call.

He stretched and managed to grab the box and brought it to her. "How did you think you were gonna reach that?" Ryan asked incredulously. "I could barely reach it."

"Wasn't thinking I guess." Sharpay answered giggling as she opened the box and pulled out the green and white beret Ryan had gotten her for their last birthday. She always felt closer to her brother when she wore it, along with the charm bracelet he had also given her then, which adorned her right wrist.

Grinning at her over her shoulder in the mirror as she fixed the beret on her head, "I guess we were thinking alike this morning." He said as he tapped his own hat. His grin widened when he saw her eyes light up as she realized he was wearing the hat she had gotten him. Her smile grew as she noticed the watch she had given him on his wrist as well.

Moving to the side slightly so she could see them both in the mirror, she smirked at how great they looked. "Fabulous." She said flashing Ryan a smile.

"Yes we are." Ryan said returning her smile. "Shall we?" He asked as he extended his arm to her.

"We shall!" Sharpay responded taking her brother's arm as they happily walked from her room down the stairs where they grabbed their book bags. Sharpay barely managed to hide her grin at her brother's poorly concealed excitement and nervousness as he grabbed his car keys from the counter. She knew better than anyone how hard the day ahead would be for her twin, so she was glad that he could find excitement anywhere, especially in something as small as being able to drive them to school in his car. He was practically skipping out to the car before they climbed in and pulled out of the drive way.

The only differences between their cars were the color(her pink verses his black) and the initials on the hood(her SE verses his RE). After a quick stop by Star Bucks for coffee, they set out for East High. As they became lost in the music from the Wicked sound track, they stayed silent, neither speaking.

Sharpay could tell about half way to school her brother's nerves really kicked in as she saw the leg he wasn't driving with constantly bouncing. She slipped her left hand over to cover Ryan's right one in hopes to calm him some, even as her own stomach knotted up. Ryan glanced at her and smiled, squeezing her hand in thanks before returning his eyes to the road.

The contact had the desired effect on both twins as their nerves quelled slightly as they pulled into the almost completely full East High parking lot. After Ryan parked his car, the twins glanced at each other before taking a deep breath and climbing out. Walking to the front of the car, they began the walk to the front doors taking comfort in being close enough so their arms brushed while ignoring all the curious glances between Ryan's car and them.

Finally they reached the front doors. They stopped and glanced at each other and Ryan quickly grabbed her hand giving it a comforting squeeze before quickly letting go. They each took a deep breath as they donned their icy masks. And then, the Ice Twins entered East High.
