Troy Bolton: Extraterrestial

"Chapter One"

"You're so hypnotizing, could be the devil? Could you be an angel?" - Katy Perry, E.T.

"Mayday!" Troy Bolton screamed, trying to steer his ship as he tried to avoid hitting the astroid belt."Control!" his planet usually is good with taking requests..or at least responding to distress signals. He pulls at the steering wheel, avoiding a huge astroid; but in turn heading into the atmosphere of a planet he's never been too before. He's heard of it and their ...primitive ways, but he's never been to it. "Help!" he yells to no one but his talkie; again, the control back on his planet is only static to his ears. He growls, tossing it back behind him as he braces for impact.

His eyes close tightly, and he bites his inner cheek. The air around him gets thicker and pretty soon, he's overwhelmed with how much air he's taking in to his lungs. And then he feels the impact; the glass and metal of his ship, crunching and breaking as it hits obstacles on the outside. He lifts his head and stares out side the front window. It's nothing but dark he see's, "Oh..." he whispered, moving from the steering wheel to the where he through the talkie and tried to contact his planet's control base again. Nothing but static. "Argh!" he growled, tossing it to the floor and grabbing on to his pouch that held his stuff in it. He's on his own; on foot; on this planet at which he's never been too. Great...oh yeah, he's screwed.

Gabriella sat up digging through her bag as she heard something outside, she looked to her parents who were sleeping and she picked up the flashlight and sneaked out of the tent. She made her way down the hill jumped whenever an animal made a sound, she lifted a branch and crawled under it, and saw smoke coming up from behind the trees. She waved the smoke out of her face and looked around, "Hello?" no response except for the owls.

She bit her lip, "Anybody out there." Gabriella stood there, "Hi." a voice whispered.

She jumped and looked at the tall guy standing infront of her. "Hi.. are..are you lost?"

The tall guy looked at her, "Uhm..." Gabriella bit her lip, just staring at him. "Do you uh..do you need help?" He just stared at her, his fingers twitching and his head cocking to the side. "Help?"

"Are you uh...uh..I'm Gabriella." She sticks out her hand for him to shake, but backs away from it; staring at it like...like he doesn't know what to do. "Gabriella." He repeats.

She smiles, "Uhm yeah, my name. What's yours?"

His lips twitched, was he smiling? "Troy."

Gabriella smiled, holding the flashlight down to her side. "umm If you're lost, I can help you find you're family-"

"Really?!" Gabriella smiled softly, "Yes, of course.. but It will have to wait till morning, but until then, you're welcomed to come back to my family's camp site." Troy nodded, Gabriella smiled, and he followed behind her. When they finally reach the camp site, Gabriella layed the flashlight on the ground and made a fire.

Gabriella grabbed the marshmellow bag and her and Troy sat on the log. She grabbed a marshmellow out of the bag, "Want a marshmellow?" she offered.

Troy looked at it, his eyes narrowing at the fluffy white pillow. "Marsh...what?" Gabriella looked at him, "You've never had a marshmellow?"

Troy just looked at her, his eyes glowing in the light of the fire. His face is blank and impassive. Gabriella bites her lip, handing him the bag of marshmellows; he tentatively digs his hand inside and pulls out one. He sniffs it and stuffs it in his mouth; swallowing in one gulp. "It's..good."

Gabriella giggled, "Yeah, it's really good with chocolate."

"Chocolate?" She looked at him, watching as he takes the bag from her and starts stuffing his mouth with mouthfuls of marshmellows.

Gabriella giggled at him, "Troy.." she was smiling at him. Troy looked at her, and smiled back, letting the marshmellows fall out of his mouth and onto the ground. Gabriella giggled, and smiled at him. "Sorry.." he muttered looking down.

Gabriella smiled grabbing his hand, "It's okay." For some reason, Troy felt a tingly spark going up his arm when she touched his hand. he looked at her, Gabriella smiled, fluttering her eyelashes and looking at him in the eyes, "So, umm do you go to school?"

He raised a brow, "Sc..School?"

"So you're homeschooled?" he looked at her and just nodded; she bit her lip, "I go to East High.. it's pretty great school, if you're parents want to enroll you somewhere, they should send you there, I could show you around."

Troy stared at her, "I'm not from here..." Gabriella looked at him, her big brown eyes seeming black in the firelight. "Where are you from?"

Troy sighed, lifting his head so he can look at the sky. "Far away."

"Wow." Gabriella said, looking up at the sky with him. "I've never been out of Albuquerque-"

"Albuquerque? That's my location?"

She giggled, "Uh...yeah, New Mexico." There was a stirring from in a tent, Troy whipped his head quickly toward the tent but Gabriella shook her head, "it's just my dad-he snores like a bear."

"Bear?"

"You don't get out much do you?" Troy looked at her, staring into her eyes. And then his watch started beeping. Gabriella jumped at the loud sound and an older man and woman came from the tent at the sound; "What's that?"

Gabriella stood up from the log, "Oh Mom, Dad, This is Troy, He got lost from his family, so I was thinking he could stay with us until he found his parents." Her parents smiled, "Oh, yeah that's fine." Her mother said.

Her father nodded, "Yeah, how about I put up the other tent, and you and him can share it?"

Gabriella nodded, "Sure.. umm, me and Troy will go walk around." she helped Troy up, "Come on." Her and Troy began their night stroll through the woods.

She was looking at him, "So, do you know when you last saw you're parents?" Troy looked at her, "Umm.. I'm not sure. I was driving the-"

She smiled, "You drive?"

He nodded, "Yeah, I just learned how to."

She smiled, "That's cool.." he looked at her, "You're..not..afraid of me?"

Gabriella smiled at him, grabbing his hand, "You don't scare me Troy." she whispered looking up at him with a small smile on her face.

"Why would I be scared of you?" Troy looked at her, for something he heard on his planet that was supposed to be ugly and green skinned..she was pretty. Beautiful even. He swallowed, opening his mouth to speak but he looked up at the sky. "I've never been this far from home before.."

Gabriella looked up at the sky too, "Where do you live?" Troy looked at her, the moon making her skin glow; her dark hair seemed even darker. Like black ink. "Far, far away from here."
