Tales From East High & Beyond

2.1 Old Chums (Beyond HSM)

*This multi-shot is a crossover of a imagined future between Sharpay's Fabulous Adventure & The original High School Musical characters. Even though, I loved Austin Butler's character I still kinda feel bad for Zeke. So if there are Zeke x Sharpay shippers... This multi-shot might just not be for you :( I'll write some for them in the future though*

Year 2014
New York, USA

'Shar!!! The receptionist downstairs asked me to bring this up with me. It looks like an important letter of some sort.' 

Sharpay smiles sweetly as her boyfriend Peyton hands her the cream colored envelope, it looked quite fancy and on it, her name was printed along with her address in a formal and gold outlined font. 

Opening it, her eyes widen and a smile plasters itself onto her face. The blonde grins as she looks up at her confused boyfriend whom had been waiting for her to reveal what was in the package. 

With an excited voice, Sharpay Evans walks up to her boyfriend and clings onto his arm. 

'Peyton....pack up, we're attending a wedding in Albuquerque next week.'

But before the ash blonde male could even ask the specific information from his girlfriend. Sharpay was already on her phone and in a conversation with her twin brother. Hence, the male could only rely on the bits of reply on Sharpay's end to understand whose and what wedding they were supposed to attend. 

'Ryan!!! Yeah, I just received the invitation..... I bet the media would go crazy when they find out his about to be married.'

'Oh!!! Did you see her this week ? I guess it does make a lot of sense that they're holding the wedding back at home. Is everyone attending? Really...? I should probably buy a wedding gift by the end of this week. Yes!!! Peyton's coming with me, it might be the perfect time to introduce him to the whole gang.... Okay, love you toodles---' 

After setting her phone down, Sharpay turns around and smiles as she finally starts explaining with an excited tone. Opening up her huge closet, she takes down a medium sized pink box and lays it onto her huge mahogany office desk. 

'We'll be attending the wedding of two of my oldest friends from high school... they've been together since junior year and I think you might recognize the groom if I show you some pictures.' 

Curious at her sudden statement, Peyton stands behind his girlfriend and looks down at the few pictures that she had pulled out from the box. His eyes widen as realization poured in, covering his mouth with his hand. The male made eye contact with his girlfriend confirming the identity of the male was whom he really thought he was. 

Nodding their head, Sharpay smiles gently as she gazes down at the smiling faces of her, Ryan, Gabriella Montez and Troy Bolton. 

'Holy shi--- Is that---is that who I think it is..!!?'

Sharpay smiles and nods as she looks over the other pictures.

'Yeah, That's Troy Alexander Bolton... The star player for the Lakers. I know how much you love his team.... Although his the superstar of the NBA nowadays, to me and Ryan his just the normal old whipped Troy from high school.'

Arching his eyebrows, Peyton tilts his head and urges his girlfriend to continue with her story.

'Well... The wedding we're attending next week is a top secret and private wedding to be held at our hometown in Albuquerque. Troy's getting married to Gabriella who happens to be also one of mine and Ry's long time friend.

I can tell you more about their story but for now just know that they've been basically together since junior year of high school and now.... Finally their having a happily ever after.

Ryan apparently helped to have the reception be held at my parents' country club.

That place held quite a lot of memories for us, although it wasn't exactly all happy memories.... But looking back, our high school days were all simply.... FABULOUS!!!'

After admiring all the photographs and even taking out her ruby class ring. Sharpay suddenly turns around and puts on a wide smile.

'Now... Let's go and shop for clothes and gifts. I got a wedding to attend soon.'

September 25, 2011 (A Week Later)
Albuquerque

Peyton and Sharpay eventually arrive 2 days before the official wedding date.

They were both staying at Sharpay's parents' humongous mansion. It was the same mansion where Sharpay and Ryan had stayed in when they were mere high schoolers attending East High.

Peyton felt fresh and also had finally gained new experiences as he tried the country life. He was always the New York boy hence it was a totally different world for him.

'There will be a dinner practice at Lava Springs tonight.... I think it will be the perfect time for me to finally introduce you to all of my old friends.'

It was no lie... Peyton was nervous as hell. He'd heard a thousand of stories from Sharpay about her old friends before. It came to the point that he felt like he also knew each one of them personally. But he wasn't gonna try and pretend that he was actually chill and fine with meaning all of then at the same time and even tonight.

He knew, these people were pretty much also important people from his girlfriend's life. As much as possible, the Blonde haired boy wanted to impress and leave a good impression.

Let's not forget the fact that he was also meeting one of his favorite players ever and even attending his private wedding.

There was actually too much to process for poor Peyton at the moment but he'll be fine... right?

Suddenly snapping put of his thoughts at Sharpay's jerk on his shoulder. The male finally hears Sharpay's sharp orders.

'Don't just sit there and blank out!!! Go ahead and find a suit that will suit the light pink mini dress that I chose for tonight.

Make sure your tie is the same shade as mine and please put that camera down will you?'
