High School Musical 3 Senior Year: Troy Bolton x Reader

CHAPTER 7

CHAD AND TROT DRIVE INTO THE SCRAP YARD as the owner steps out of his trailer office.

"Hey, Bobby." Troy greets as he pulls to a stop next to the burly man.

"Hey, the boys are back." Bobby greets as he rests his hands against Troy's open window.

"Hey, Bob. How are you?" 

Bobby shakes his head as he hears Troy's engine. "Troy. There is nothing like the purr of a well-tuned engine. That wasn't it."

"Yeah." Troy laughs slightly. "My fuel pump's deceased. You have a radiator cap for me?"

"Heard of duct tape?"

"That's what I got on it now."

Bobby nods his head before pointing over to a pile of parts. "Dig around over there. I'm sure you'll find what you want. I am so excited about you boys playing at the U of A next year. I bought my season tickets. I got to take off early today, so lock up when you're done."

"Yeah." Troy nods as he drives over to the indicated pile.

"You know where the key is." Bobby shouts over his shoulder before walking to his truck and driving off.

"Did you hear that? He's got season tickets." Chad exclaims as Bobby's truck drives off. The two begin digging through the metal looking for a radiator cap. "Time to start practicing."

"Take a breather, LeBron." Troy answers as he finds a radiator cap under an old truck hood. He walks over to his and lifts up his hood. Taking of the wad of duck tape off, he backs away as steam comes out. "Feel like your future is laid out in front of you?" Troy asks as the steam clears allowing him to place the cap on.

"What is your point?"

"I don't know. I just want my future to be my future."

"Do you see what happens when you do a show? You're, like, five people." Chad comments as his friend shrugs

"Yeah, but what's so bad about that?"

"We used to come here as kids, we'd be ten people." Chad remarks causing Troy to smile. We'd be spies, superheroes, rock stars. We were whatever we wanted to be, whenever we wanted to be it. It was us."

"Yeah, we were, like, eight years old."

"For the record, I was a better superhero than you were." Chad remarks causing Troy to scoff, skating his head, he slams his truck hood close before starting to sing.

"Take it back to the place
when you know it all began." Troy sings.

"We could be anything we wanna be
We can tell by the noise
that the boys are back again
Together making history." They sing together as they dance.

"It's time to show how
To be a superhero
Just like a showdown
Will Smith and Bobby De Niro
We're the best, no doubt
Doing it like we used to do
This is our town, yeah
And I'm telling you.

"Oh, the boys are back
Hey, the boys are back
That's right
The boys are back
Gonna do it again
Gonna wake up the neighborhood
The boys are back, yeah
The boys are back, all right.

"Climbing up the walls any time we want
The word is out
The boys are back
The boys are back
Back to save the day
The boys are back
Oh, yeah." The boys sing together as they dance around the scrap yard like when they were little.
