Troy clutched his backpack close to him, holding the passport in his hand inline. he heard a mob of people, and flashing lights. he turned his head to see a blonde headed girl, taking off some sunglasses and holding a magazine.

He walked closer, the girl looked like Gabriella, but with blonde hair. his eyes went wide, "Isabella.." he then heard her say, "I want to know who this girl is.. I am very upset right now, I want to know who this girl is? who can tell me?"

"That's my friend. Gabriella!" Body guards pulled him away, and then Isabella came out, "Hey! Hey! let him go.." they dropped him to the floor, she rolled her eyes, "Gently."

She helped him up, "Okay. I want you to tell me everything about this girl." "I want you tell me about this tony guy-" She sighed, "We need to get to the concert quickly-" "why what's going on?"

Isabella sighed, "Tony is using your friend Gabriella, to destroy my singing career..if we don't hurry, he's going to hurt her, and my career will be ruined."

Gabriella frowned, she's in her dressing room watching as people got her ready. When she got back to her hotel and Chad and Sharpay had been in the room arguing, she knew something was wrong and when she said she was going to talk to Troy they had told her that he was at the airport.

That he had taken the rap for her sneaking out...and Chad had mentioned the part that Troy had seen the kiss; all the while glaring at her at that point she was at a loss; why would he glare at her? What had she done? "Gabriella!"

She whipped around finding Tony, "hey...Tony.." "What's wrong, Ma Bella?" Italian for 'my beautiful'. She sighed, "Just...personal stuff." "Hey, you're going to do great out there...just remember, you shine brighter than the sun and the stars when you're on that stage."

Gabriella sighed, "I'm just nervous." He smiled, "Don't be. you'll do great-" "Tony! we need to get you ready." They dragged him away. Gabriella sighed, and the director grabbed her arm, "Your dress is waiting in the dressing room."

Gabriella nodded, then someone else grabbed her hand, "Brie." Gabriella turned around and gasped, "Troy!" she wrapped her arms around him, "Oh my god! your here! I heard what happened? what are you doing here? I am so so sorry-" "That doesn't matter now. listen, Tony is setting you up."

Gabriella looked at him, "What-" "Actually, he's setting me up." Isabella came out of nowhere walking to them, "Freaky right?" Troy said. "Way Freaky." Isabella laughed, "Way WAY freaky."

Gabriella bit her lip, "What's going on?-" "Gabriella, Tony wants to destroy my career and if you go out there tonight, he's going to hurt you-" "Tony would never do that to me...he wouldn't."

Isabella sighed, "Trust me he does.. he doesn't care about anybody.." she grabbed Troy's hand, "This is somebody that loves and cares about you." she connected it with Troy's, "Tell her Troy."

Troy stammered, looking down at his feet and then ...everywhere else but Gabriella's eyes. "I...ove..ou.." Troy muttered.

Gabriella cocked her head to the side, "Troy? What?" He let out a breath, "I...lo..ou.." "Troy..." "I love you!" he said, nearly yelling.

Gabriella looked at him, "R-Really?" Isabella smiled at them, and then Gabriella wrapped her arms around him and crashed her lips against his gently. she kissed him passionately, and then leaned her forehead on his, "I love you too Troy." she smiled.

The director dragged her away. Isabella smiled, "Don't worry. I'll figure something out, just go out and do what you rehearsed-" "What are you thinking?" she yelled as they dragged her away.

"Don't worry! I got-I got a plan!" Gabriella was pulled away to the stage and Troy turned to Isabella, "so what's the plan?"

Isabella looked at him, frowning and shaking her head as she began pacing. "I have no clue..." "that doesn't sound helpful."

People were cheering, and screaming for them to come out. Gabriella had came out and looked out into the auidence and gulped. Isabella and Troy ran to the guy running the music. "Antonio, wheres the CD that Tony gave you?" "CD there is no CD? Tony said your going to sing live like you always do."

"Everybody! please welcome! Tony and Isabella!" Tony walked out on stage and Isabella looked at Antonio, "Turn down Isabella's mic." "What-" "Turn down the mic."

Tony smiled, "have you ever seen such a beautiful night." Gabriella gulped, and began to move her lips, but then Isabella came to the corner and began singing out of the small headset microphone.

"I could almost kiss the starts, that are shining so bright." Tony looked at her, and she smirked. Tony smiled, "When I see you smiling I go-" Isabella pointed to Antonio to turn off Tony's voice, and then Tony sang like a frog, "Oh, Oh, Oh!" he looked around embarrassed.

Then Isabella and Gabriella sang, "I would never want to miss this." He then tried to sing better himself, "Cause in my heart, I know what this is." Isabella laughed and walked out on stage, "This is what dreams are made of." she looked at Tony, "Sing to me Tony."

He stepped forward, "This is what dreams are made of!" people began to say boo! and throw things at him. Tony turned to Isabella she smirked, he turned to Gabriella, and she just looked at him. and he turned to run off the stage.

Troy watched as Tony ran back stage, going to his body guard; they looked like they were aruging, Troy walked to them both, he sized up Tony's guard, "'scuse me, Stretch.." he glared at Tony.

"You don't. Ever. Hurt. My friend." His fist landed on Tony's jaw, knocking him to the ground and then the last thing Troy expected to happen was to get a high five from the body guard.

Isabella laughed, high fiving Gabriella, "Say hello to my new american friend, Gabriella Montez." All of them started clapping, "Do we all want to hear her sing?" They all cheered, and the music started all over. Isabella started, "Have you ever seen such a beautiful night." Gabriella gulped, and then sang, "I could almost kiss the starts, for shining so bright."

Troy smiled from the corner, Isabella smiled, and they sang together, "When I see you smiling I go, Oh, Oh, Oh!" Isabella walked to the right, "I would never want to miss this." Gabriella walked to the left, "Cause in my heart I know what this is."

"Hey now!' "Hey now! this is what dreams are made of.." Gabriella moved her hip to the left, "Hey now!" "Hey now! this is what dreams are made of, I've got somewhere I belong, I've got somebody to love, this is what dreams are made of." Isabella smirked, running backstage.

Gabriella looked at her, and followed after her, "Isabella! Isabella I can't do this-" Isabella kept walking and told her not to follow. she turned to go the other way but Troy stopped her, "You can do it."

Gabriella sighed, stepping back and looking out, "Have you ever wondered what life is about? you could search the world and never figure it out.. you don't have to sail the oceans, No, No, No...Happiness is no mystery, it's here and now, it's you and me now.." backup dancers came out danced behind her.

"Hey now, Hey now, this is what dreams are made of." she looked at them, "Hey now." "Hey now." "This is what dreams are made of, I've got somewhere I belong, I've got somebody to love, this is what dreams are made of..Hey now!" she began clapping her hands over her head, Soon her class were in the auidence.

"This is what dreams are made of.. Go figure out, this is what dreams are made of." "Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!" she laughed, "when I see you smiling I go, Oh, Oh, Oh! Yesterday my life was duller." she stepped back, "'now everything is technicoloured."

The music played as a guy lifted her up and spun her around and she ran towards the front of the stage, "Hey now! Hey now! this is what dreams are made of. Hey now, Hey now! this is what dreams are made of, I've got somewhere I belong, I've got somebody to love! This is what dreams...dreams! this is what dreams.. are made of."

She pumped her fist in the air, "Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!" "Hey now! Hey now! "Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!' "Hey now! Hey now!" she backed up into the background dancers and the lights dimmed as she put her fist in the air and the crowd cheered.

Gabriella smiled waving at them, and then Isabella ran out and grabbed Gabriella's hand, and they both brought it up to the air.

Troy smiled, clapping his hands loudly and when she came off the stage he embraced her in his arms and hugged her tightly. 'You were fantastic out there, Brie."

Gabriella giggled, holding him tightly to her. "I love you Troy..." Troy smiled, pulling away and looking at her lips. "I always have." She smiled, he kissed her lips, slowly. Passionately.

Gabriella giggled, pulling away and looking at him, he smiled, "What?" she giggled, "You look nice." he chuckled, "Well thanks." she smiled, "But you still look like a dork." Troy smirked, "I'm your dork." she laughed, and kissed him passionately.

Isabella smiled, and laughed. Troy and Gabriella pulled away and Gabriella smiled, Isabella smiled and pulled Gabriella in for a hug, "Thank you so much for saving my career." Gabriella smiled, "That was the plan all along."

Isabella smiled, "If you exscuse me, I have to go find Tony, I have a few words to say to him." Gabriella nodded, "send him my love." Isabella laughed, "See you around Gabriella." "See ya. Chow!"

Isabella walked away and Gabriella turned around to Troy, and took out his glassed in his pocket, "Your perfect just the way you are." she said slipping his glasses on his face.

Troy smiled, wrapping his arms around her waist. "Thanks...but with contacts...glasses aren't a good idea." "Then take them out." Gabriella giggled, Troy laughed, "Thank you...these damn things are killing me."

He takes his glasses off and carefully takes out his contacts, Gabriella hands him his glasses and he places them on his face. "Once a dork, always a dork." Gabriella giggles again, "yeah...but like you said, you're my dork."

Troy hugged her close, and kissed her forehead, he looked at her, "I love you." she smiled, "I love you too." she pressed her lips against his passionately, running her fingers through his hair, he pulled away.

"We uhh we should get back to the hotel before we get into anymore trouble." she laughed, "Yeah, I don't think we can afford anymore trouble." she grabbed his hand, and they ran out the back doors.
