Troy and Gabriella sat on the plane on their way for their senior year week trip to Rome. Gabriella was reading The Lucky One. "Hey Brie."

Gabriella looked at him, and he took a picture, and she laughed, "Troy, stop it." He smiled at her, "We're going to rome.. the enternal city."

Gabriella rolled her eyes, "I just can't wait to get back and graduate." Troy rolled his eyes, "Let's just try to have a good time. Okay?" Gabriella sighed, "Okay."

~ What Dreams Are Made Of.~

They were getting off the bus, and gathering into the lobby. Gabriella stood in the corner with one of her friends, and Troy stood next to her.

Miss Darbus grabbed the sets of keys and coming over to Troy, "Troy, you'll be rooming with mister danforth...room 204."

Chad was laying on the couch, "are those american numbers, or italian?" She looked at him rolling her eyes and tossing the keys to Troy, "Do you have a problem with that Mister Bolton?"

Troy shook his head, "No ma'am..." Chad wrapped an arm around his shoulder, "Hey roomie. It's cool!" Troy rolled his eyes, watching Gabriella grab a set of room keys from Darbus, "Montez, you're with Evans."

Both girls made their jaws drop, "Ah! Ms. Darbus, I think that me and Freakella shouldn't room together..." "Too bad," she chirped, "I assign the rooms and you guys are roomies. Now...mingle."

"I'm going to take the bed by the window.. you don't mind do you?" Gabriella looked at her as she fluffed her pillow, Gabriella looked at her, "Umm no.. of course not." Sharpay rolled her eyes, "Good. I'm glad you see it my way."

Gabriella rolled her eyes. Miss Darbus walked by, "Lights out." Gabriella looked at her, "It's only 7-" "I know. we have a lot of places to go..Night Night." she she turned the lights off. Gabriella sighed, getting into her bed and let sleep over come her.

The school the next day were all by the huge fountain. Troy and Gabriella stood next to each other, he gave her courter. "Make a wish." Gabriella giggled, "you really believe in this stuff?" Troy nodded, "wish for anything you want."

Gabriella nodded, holding the courter tight in her hand, then closing her eyes and tossing it back into the fountain.

When she lifted her head back up, opening her eyes, she found the most gorgeous guy looking at her. The guy looked at her, "Isabella?" Gabriella looked at him confused, "Huh?"

He shook his head, "I'm sorry, but you look just like my singing partner Isa-" "Isabella!" fans came up to them both, and began taking pictures with them, and Gabriella looked at them all confused, and they soon walked away screaming.

Gabriella bit her lip, "umm-" "I'm Tony.." Gabriella smiled, "I'm Gabriella Montez." they shook hands, "But umm who is your singing partner?" "Well old singing partner, and she looks like that." he pointed to the bilboard up in the air.

Troy and Gabriella both looked up at it, "Wow. she really does look like me." "exepct the blonde hair, you could be her twin.." Gabriella smiled at him, "That is so cool." Then Miss Darbus walked by, "Okay, let's get a move on.. let's go."

The whole class began walking but, Tony grabbed Gabriella's hand, "Gabriella, Can I see you again?" Gabriella looked at him, "I..uh..I can't.. I'm here with my school.. I'm really sorry..."

Troy bit back the strange feeling of jealousy that swimmed through his veins, instinctively as Gabriella turned to walk with the class, he grabbed Gabriella's hand. She looked at him, "Troy?" He shrugged, "Don't want you getting lost..."

Yeah right, he thinks to himself. Gabriella giggled, squeezing his hand. "My protector right?" Troy let out a nervous chuckle, "yeah..al-always."

As soon as they got to the hotel, Gabriella and Troy were walking to the elevator but someone grabbed Gabriella's hand, Gabriella looked back to see Tony, "I am sorry to follow you like this, but I just want to talk to you about something."

Gabriella looked at him, "What about?" He smiled, "Tomorrow? Meet me at the fountain?" Gabriella bit her lip, but sighed, "Okay. Tomorrow." he smiled, "Thank you Gabriella Montez." Gabriella smiled, "I'll see you tomorrow."

He nodded, and his body guard grabbed his shoulder, "We have to go." Tony nodded and looked at her, "See you tomorrow." "Tomorrow." she said as he walked away. Gabriella turned to look at Troy, "Great. how am I suppose to see him tomorrow?"

Troy shrugged, "Play hookie, pretend your sick." Gabriella looked at him, "What? I can't...I've never done that before.. I can't.. I wouldn't.. I won't! it's impossible! I won't do it."

Gabriella layed in bed, pretending to cough. Miss Darbus had her arms crossed as the doctor checked her out, "Well she doesn't have a fever." Gabriella coughed more, "I'm really really sick Doctor."

Miss Darbus sighed, "Well if your not feeling really well Gabriella, then I guess you can stay in." Gabriella nodded, "Okay. Thank you Miss Darbus." Miss Darbus nodded, "Alright. feel better." Gabriella nodded, "I Will."

As soon as the doctor and Miss darbus left the room. Gabriella threw the covers off jumping up and grabbing her bag and running downstairs the other way.

~What Dreams Are Made Of.~

Tony and Gabriella walked side by side, and he was telling her some jokes, and talking about living in rome. Gabriella looked around noticing the people stare at them, "Why is everyone staring-" "Because they think your Isabella.. which is what I've been meaning to talk to you about."

Gabriella nodded, "Okay." Tony smiled, "I was hoping that you would pretend to be Isabella, for our concert." Gabriella looked at him, "What!" "Sh! please, I'm just really hoping to save her career." Gabriella smiled, "Aww that's so sweet, you still care about her."

He smiled, "Yes.. you understand.. so I was just hoping." Gabriella sighed, and looking down at her hands, "I..I don't know Tony-" "I'm sorry, I shouldn't of asked a crazy thing like that-"

She shook her head, "No.. if it means saving her career, then.. I'll do it.." he smiled, "Oh my! Thank you Gabi!" he hugged her, she smiled, "No problem."

"So he wants you to perform with him?" Gabriella nodded, "As Isabella.." "Are you crazy Gabriella?" Gabriella sighed, "I know it's crazy, but I wanna help save Isabella's career, and Tony is a really sweet guy, I think he really likes me.." she smiled to herself.

Troy sighed, "Gabriella, do you really think you can do this?" Gabriella sighed, "I..I don't know.. but you know, you said for me to have a good time on this trip, and I think this will be fun." shit he did say that. he thought.

He sighed, Gabriella smiled, "Will you cover for me, please?" Troy looked at her as she gave him the puppy dog eyes, "Fine." she smiled, "Yes!" she she stood up kissing his cheek, "Your the greatest friend ever!" and she ran to the door and out of it.

"Yeah..." Troy mumbled to himself, sitting on his bed and laying flat on his back. "Friend." Alls quiet, and then Chad enter's the room and sucks in a breath, "dude...you got the sting." Troy arches a brow, not bothering to sit up.

"The what?" "The sting...when a guy blows off a girl it's just called 'blowing her off' but when a girl does that to a guy, it's called the sting...cause it bruises our ego."

Troy sighed, running his hands down his face and closing his eyes. Imagine I'm in my happy place, he tells himself. "I actually feel my brain turning into goo."

Chad smirked coming over to sit on the end of his bed, "want some advice-" "From you? what advice can you possibly give me?" Chad rolled his eyes, "So Gabriella is sleeping around with this Italian guy-"

"She isn't sleeping around with him-" "Or is she?" Troy rolled his eyes, Chad smirked, "Dude, everybody knows you've been inlove with her ever since the 1st grade. Why won't you tell her?"

Troy sighed, shaking his head and sitting up. "Okay, enlighten me," he left out saying 'dummy' cause that'd be rude. True, but rude; Chad Danforth never was the brightest lightbulb to shine in the hallway. Chad smirks, "okay, well first things first...you got to get her attention."

Troy looked at him, "Okay...how do I do that?" "Ditch the einstein glasses." "I can't see without them-" "Then get contacts..and your clothes? Dude...come on, dress cool and be cool, that's my motto."

Troy sighed, "Okay, I don't have any cool clothes-" "I'll let you borrow some." Troy rolled his eyes, "Fine." Chad smirked, "Okay. but first things first. let's go get you some contacts." Troy rolled his eyes, "Like we can really leave right now?"

Chad shrugged, "Miss Darbus is asleep, she takes her naps during this hour. let's go." Troy sighed but nodded following Chad out to his car. s soon as they got out Troy saw Gabriella getting into the car with Tony, slipping on her seatbelt.

Jealousy, it swam through his veins and made him glare at the fool behind the wheel. "I hate that guy..." he muttered, Chad chuckled, clapping him on the shoulder. "Oh yeah, you got it bad..."

Troy looked at him. "Got what bad?" "Come on," Chad walked off in the direction of a store, Troy ran to follow him. "I got what bad?! Chad!"

Chad smirked, "Jealousy." Troy rolled his eyes, "I'm not jealous-" "Dude, everytime that guy comes around, you become overprotective-" "I don't trust the guy, okay? there's something about him I don't like."

Chad smirked, "Yeah, that he has your lady eating out of the palm of his hand-" "Shut up, and let's go."
