Thank you!

Oh yeah, and I am not that good in explaining detail, so sorry if the explaining for the dresses are really bad. Just make up your own design for them.


This was it. The final day of East High school was over. Now it was time for prom. The 5 girls quickly ran into Gabriella's house, making sure the guys didn't see them.

The guys did the same thing, after they saw the girls enter Gabriella's house, they entered Troy's.

"Guess who I just saw actually try and get into the house without us seeing?" Sharpay asked.

"Let me guess, the guys?" Gabriella replied, as they sat on Gabriella's bed.

"No duh." Taylor replied.

"Wow, we went to the mall, and got really cute things." Kelsi stated, opening up all of the bags.

"I really like your dress." Martha commented.

"Why thank you." Taylor replied, taking it out of the bag. She was going to wear a green dress that was ankle length.

"I betcha that Chad's mouth will have to be picked up off the floor after he sees you." Gabriella stated.

"And I know that Troy will faint when he sees you." Taylor replied.

Gabriella's dress was a light blue. It came a little further than her ankle. There were flower designs near the end.

"Well, I don't know about that." Gabriella replied, blushing.

"Oh please, she still isn't sure even though Troy is her boyfriend." Sharpay said.

"I know right? They still act like they did, which was still acting like a couple." Kelsi added.

"Thanks guys. Way to be great friends." Gabriella replied sarcastically.

"Well, anyways, prom is really soon, it is in tw- crap! Prom is in an hour!" Martha stated.

"Seriously? Were we that long at the mall?" Taylor asked.

"Apperently, lets get ready." Kelsi replied.


"You guys are weird." Jason stated, watching Chad and Zeke spray cheese out of the can at eachother.

"I am with you on that one." Ryan added.

"GUYS! We have an hour to get ready, and you two are covered in cheese!" Troy yelled, entering his kitchen.

"Someone is a little on the edge." Zeke replied.

"Maybe if you push him off the edge he will calm down." Chad added, wiping the cheese off of himself.

"Ok fine. If you guys don't want to go, i'll call up all of the girls tell them the bad news..." Troy replied slowly.

"NO!" The guys all screamed.

"Thought so." Troy replied, smirking.

"Yeah, so what do we wear? Tuxedos?" Chad asked.

"What else do you wear to a prom?" Jason asked.

"Shirts, pants, socks, shoes." Ryan replied.

"We are picking them up in 40 minutes!" Troy called down the stairs.

The four guys looked at eachother and darted up the stairs.


The prom at East High was just beginning. Students from the senior class of 08' were just entering the building that they would see for the last time. A lot of the teens were talking, laughing. None of them wanted to be the first ones on the dance floor.

The doors opened, causing all of the heads to turn. There walked in East High's golden couple, with there friends. Tiffany saw this and snickered.

"You are really beautiful." Troy complimented, causing Gabriella to giggle.

"And you are handsome." Gabriella replied.

"Am I suppose to say that to you?" Chad asked, a little unsure.

Taylor sighed. "If you mean it Chad."

"Good, you look great." Chad replied, giving Taylor a smile that she gladly returned.

"You look great Kels." Jason complimented.

"You too." Kelsi replied, smiling.

"I baked these for you." Zeke said, holding out a bag of chocolate chip cookies.

"Aww, thanks." Sharpay replied, giving him a kiss on his cheek.

The friends sat down at an empty table. They were lucky, there was only 10 chairs to a table and they fit perfectly.

"Ok guys, I have an announcement to make." Ryan stated, standing up.

The friends looked at him, curious.

"I am going to ask this now, Martha will you be my girlfriend?"

Martha stared in shock, but smiled. "Yes, I will."

"Nice Ry." Gabriella complimented.

"Yeah, you finally got the courage." Sharpay added.

Ryan gave Martha a hug and the two sat down.

The friends knew that nothing could go wrong at their last time gathering at their high school. The dinner was served and people were now done. They all had talked, but nobody wanted to be the first ones on the dance floor.

Gabriella noticed this, and tugged on Troy's hand.

"Yeah?" He asked.

"Look." Gabriella replied, pointing. "I want to go and dance."

"Why? Nobody is on the dance floor."

"That is the reason, everybody is to chicken to get up and be the first ones." Gabriella replied.

"Ok, lets go." Troy replied, as the two got up.

"Where the heck are you guys going?" Sharpay asked, realizing that they got up.

"Follow us if you realize." Gabriella replied, the two walked off.

"Where are they going?" Taylor asked.

"I think I know." Kelsi replied, getting up with Jason.

Gabriella and Troy walked onto the dance floor. Their peers turning to see who was brave enough to be the first ones. 'Our Time Now' by the Plain White T's, was playing, and Gabriella and Troy started to dance to the beat.

The people stared at the lone couple on the dance floor. They were having fun, although no one else was with them.

"See, we are having fun." Gabriella said, as Troy twirled her for fun.

Troy laughed. "Lets see if anyone else would like to join the fun."

Suddenly, Kelsi and Jason walked next to them, joining them on the dance floor.

"Hey, can we join?" Jason said, tapping his foot to the beat.

"No prob." Gabriella replied.

Kelsi and Jason started to dance along with Gabriella and Troy. Soon the whole gang joined in.

"Oh oh oh oh oh oooh." Sharpay and Gabriella sang along.

The friends were having so much fun, they didn't realize half of the student body joinging them on the dance floor.

"This is awesome!" Chad stated.

"Too bad it isn't going to last." Ryan replied.

"Way to kill the moment Ry." Sharpay stated.


"Ok, please children, settle down." Mr. Matsui said, standing onto the stage.

The teens immedietly quieted, they knew what was coming up.

"So I am here to announce the prom king and queen candidates!" Mr. Matsui said, as a loud cheer errupted from the graduates.

"For prom king we have Troy Bolton."

"Nice!" Gabriella cheered, as Troy ran onto the stage.

"Chad Danforth."

"Oh yeah!" Chad yelled happily, getting on the stage with Troy.

"And Josh Fredrick!" Mr. Matsui called out.

Josh ran onto the stage death glaring the gang, they glared at him in return.

"And for prom queen! Gabriella Montez."

"Oh my goodness!" Gabriella said to herself, as Kelsi and Taylor pushed her onto the stage.

"Sharpay Evans."

"Awesome!" Sharpay said.

"And Tiffany Malloy."

"Eww." Taylor stated.

Tiffany smirked, getting onto the stage, also recieving death glares from the gang.

"You are going down, Montez, Evans." Tiffany snickered, staring at the two.

"Yeah right, you are going to lose." Sharpay snapped back.

"We have been examining you all closely, and we narrowed it down to these 6 up here. Now the prom king and queen have been nice all year round." Mr. Matsui said.

"Looks like Tiffany and Josh just lost their title." Chad stated.

"And they have been helpful and creative. Welcome the prom king and queen for the graduate class of 08', Troy Bolton and Gabriella Montez!"

The room errupted with cheers.

"Go Gabs!" Martha yelled.

"Gabriella!" Taylor added.

"I knew you would win!" Sharpay cheered, hugging Gabriella.

"Ok, now that we know the king and queen, it is time for them to share a dance." Mr. Matsui stated.

"Hit it!" Kelsi yelled to the person who was working the music. The guy turned on the stereo, and a familiar song filled the room. Two groans escaped the lips of two of their friends.

"Kelsi!" Troy whined.

"Kels!" Gabriella added.

"Well, I knew that you two would win, and I recorded you the last time we rehearsed this song." Kelsi replied, smirking.

"May I have this dance?" Troy asked.

"Why of course." Gabriella replied. The two danced to their very own song, You Are The Music In Me.

On the side, the other couples danced too, since they weren't alowed on the dance floor, after all it was the king and queens dance.


Just before the party ended, Gabriella stood up on her chair.

"Guys! I just wanted to make a toast." Gabriella stated, holding out her ginger ale.

"Get up, we have a toast to make!" Zeke said, pulling Jason up.

"I want to make a toast to great friends, great music, great life and a great future! A toast!" Gabriella said, holding out her glass.

"A toast!" Her friends replied, clinking their glasses and drinking out of them.

"And of course, tomorrow we start worrying about college." Ryan stated.

"Well, we have to make this night last." Taylor replied.

"Why does it matter? We are all going to the same college, so there is nothing to worry about." Sharpay said.

"Looks like we are beginning our lives." Troy said.

"What? We are ending them." Chad replied.

"Isn't it? We are getting out of high school." Jason added.

"No we aren't. This is just the beginning." Gabriella stated, hugging Troy.
