-Chapter 3: Epilogue-

(TEN YEARS LATER)

And please welcome to the Ellen show, Zac Efron…

All of the Zac Efron and HSM fans in the crowd, screamed as the "King of Hollywood" walked out dressed in a pair of medium wash Diesel jeans, black sneakers, and a red and white plaid shirt and went up to hug the host.

"Zac, hey! Wow, how are you?" Ellen asked once they were seated, her in her chair and him on the white couch.

"Hey! I'm good and yourself?" Zac replied with his Oscar winning smile.

"I'm good, except for the bad nights sleep I had," Ellen told him.

"Aw, why'd you have a bad night's sleep? Can you tell me about it? Maybe there's something I can do about it," Zac replied with a smile as the audience laughed.

"Well, sure I can tell you about it, but as long as you promise not to get mad?" Ellen told him.

"Oh? Why would I be mad? And I promise."

"Okay, well I had a bad night sleep because well I didn't know how well you would take to having a blast from your past coming up here to sit beside you," Ellen told him.

"Oh yeah? And whose this blast from my past?" Zac asked, curiously.

"Well, before I get to that, I just want to say Happy Birthday. You're the big three zero today, right?"

"Thanks and yeah, I am," Zac replied as he rubbed the back of his head, nervously.

"Well, your pretty good looking for a thirty year old, but who am to tell you something you already know because I'm pretty sure you get told it all the time," Ellen told him.

"Um, do I have to answer that?" Zac asked as he rubbed the back of his neck causing everyone to laugh.

"Well, okay? Do you want your birthday surprise from me?" Ellen asked.

"Yes, please. I love surprises…okay, okay, I only love them depending on what they are," Zac replied.

"Well, too bad because I've got some questions for you before it sorry, but it's protocol, well, okay you got me, it's not exactly the protocol, it's just how I want to do it and after all it is called the Ellen show," Ellen replied as she pulled out her question cards.

"Alright, then let's get this on the roll so, I can find out what my surprise is," Zac told her with a chuckle causing everyone else to laugh too.

(Twenty minutes later)

"Alright, well, seeing as your due to leave in ten minutes, I guess now is as good as time as ever to give you your birthday present huh?" Ellen said and smiled as he nodded his head before she continued, "Well, before that I want to sing Happy Birthday to you so, on three everyone sing Happy Birthday okay? Ready, 1...2...3...go!"

//Happy Birthday to you

Happy Birthday to you//

Zac smiled, but was also confused as to why they stopped in the middle of the song, but soon found out why as the blast from his past continued it as she walked onstage in a strapless black dress with black high heels and black beaded jewelry along with an engagement and wedding ring:

Happy Birthday, dear Zac

Happy Birthday to you!

"Ladies and Gentlemen, VANESSA HUDGENS!" Ellen said and everyone stood up and cheered as the actress smiled and waved at the crowd before hugging Ellen and then flashing a smile at Zac before taking a seat next to him.

"Zac meet your blast from your past. Blast from Zac's past, say hi," Ellen said causing people to laugh.

"Hi, blast from my past, I'm Zac Efron," Zac told Vanessa who smirked at him.

"If a blast from your past is also the one you have three kids with and live with and of course its me, then hi, honey how are you?" Vanessa replied with a smirk before saying, "And if not, then I'm Vanessa, Vanessa Hudgens."

Zac and everyone else just laughed and then laughed a little harder as Zac said with a playful glare, "Very funny and hello to you too, Efron."

"Well, I do learn from the best, Efron," Vanessa cheekily replied.

"That you do, babe, that you do," Zac replied.

"Alright, enough with the ego," Vanessa told him.

"Are you two always like this?" Ellen asked them.

"Pretty much yeah," Zac replied as he laced his fingers with his wife.

"So, before I got onto the marriage questions I want to ask how Ms. Vanessa is doing?" Ellen said.

"Ms. Vanessa, is doing fine, glad to be back in the States," Vanessa replied.

"Ah, that's right you came straight here from the airport. How was Barcelona?" Ellen asked before saying to the audience, "For those of you who don't know, Vanessa here has been in Spain filming a new movie called A Barcelona Massacre which, I'll let her explain here in a minute."

"Well, as much as I loved filming that horror film, I'm happy to be back in the States and back with my family who I haven't seen in four weeks," Vanessa replied.

"Ah, family? How many is it now?" Ellen asked.

Zac and Vanessa's faces glowed with smiles knowing what she was referring to and Zac replied, "Two, but we want one or two more and I'm kinda hoping after tonight that'll be possible."

"Zachary!" Vanessa hissed before whacking him on the chest as everyone else burst out into laughter as Zac just chuckled.

"Well, we all know what he wants for his birthday present from his wife," Ellen told the audience who all laughed, some woof whistled and some clapped and cheered.

"Well, that's one present he ain't getting tonight," Vanessa stated as everyone 'oh'-ed in the audience.

"But babe…" Zac whined.

"Would you like a little cheese with your whine sweetheart," Vanessa asked.

"No thank you. I just want you and the kids and I'm the happiest and luckiest man on the planet," he replied.

"Aw, babe," Vanessa replied as other awed and then cheered as they shared a soft and simple, yet loving kiss on the lips.

"You guys are so cute. Do you two realize it?" Ellen asked them.

"Um, we get told it all the time by Ashley, but we never really take it into consideration," Vanessa replied.

"That's your best friend, Ashley Tisdale, from the HSMs right and the same one that you filmed Sister, Sister, Sister with along with Monique Coleman?" Ellen asked.

"Yep, those two are the ones," Vanessa replied with a smile.

"So, on with the stuff we all want to know. But first just a refresher how long were you two together before he popped the question?" Ellen asked.

"We were together for three and half years," Vanessa replied sweetly.

"And you guys married at twenty-one and twenty right?"

"Yep, and been happily married since," Zac replied with a smile.

"Okay, so that takes care of my next couple of silly questions. Now, one with the kids, you said you had two what are their names again?"

"The oldest, he's five, is Zac Jr. and the second one, he's three, is Troy Alexander," Vanessa replied as she talked proudly about her kids.

"Did you name Troy after your HSM character Troy?" Ellen asked curiously.

"Um, kinda and kinda not," Zac replied.

"Oh? How so?"

"Well, part of it was to honor our characters, but most of it was because we just liked the name so much and it kinda stuck with us from the first movie, that we just decided we liked it enough to name our second son that," Vanessa replied.

"Oh, okay. So any more kids that I'm forgetting?" Ellen joked.

"Nope, that's it," Zac replied.

"No, it isn't," Vanessa protested.

"Babe, yes it is. We only have two kids, remember or did you hit your head on the plane?" Zac asked.

"We forgot Nevaeh Isabella," Vanessa replied.

"Baby, we don't have a little girl named that," Zac told her.

"Yes, we do remember we said if I was….pregnant again and it was confirmed that we were having a little girl we name her that? So don't forget Nevaeh," Vanessa said bravely.

"Vanessa, are you saying what I think your saying?" Zac asked hopefully.

"Mmhm," Vanessa replied with tears in her eyes.

"Oh, Ness. We're going to have another baby!" Zac said as he stood up and took her into his arms so he could kiss her as he spun her around.

"And with that we close our interview with these two. Thanks for tuning in," Ellen said as everyone stood up and clapped for the two who where now touching forehead to forehead nose to nose.

THE END!!!!

Toodles,

Jessica

I wanna see that Hawaiian wedding,

I wanna see that blissful 'Honeymoon' phase,

I wanna see her bearing their child,

I wanna see that sweet little angel with its father's eyes and mother's features,

I Want To See Them Have It All.

But... I guess I will have to wait...
