Dimmsdale, California

It was the day after the play and everyone had gone to Shirley's pizzeria to read the reviews. Timmy was the first there seeing that he was the most nervous.

Shirley saw this and told Timmy, "Relax, I think you did great, Timmy."

Timmy responded, with a question, "You really think so, Shirley?"

Shirley answered, "I know so. Everyone turned out for that play...even your own parents."

Timmy perked up at this. He didn't see his parents in the audience.

Timmy told Shirley, "Frankly, I didn't see them. I was too nervous to really notice anyone."

Shirley responded, "Well, that was probably for the best. It might have distracted you."

Timmy just nodded as his friends and his girlfriend arrived. Timmy told Shirley, "An extra-large cheese pizza if it is a good review, Shirley. A regular sized one if it is not."

Shirley nodded as Timmy went to go sit down with his friends. Mr. Bickles showed up a little late but Trixie was too nervous to read the review. She passed it on to Darla, the one person that wasn't going to get maimed. Tad and Chad were there along with them, wondering how they did as well.

Darla opened up the paper and cleared her throat. She read, "Just recently, Mr. Bickles debut his latest dream: 'High School Musical'. My friends and I saw the play and thought that the entire thing was unbelievably good. Everyone had great voices and was very believable. I felt like I was actually at East high living the story. The cast had great energy and even better singers from Timmy Turner as Troy to Alicia Grey as Taylor. This was a great play and it deserved the packed house, the standing ovation, and the envy of Chip Skylark himself."

Darla stopped reading as everyone blurted out a "What".

Mr. Bickles snatched the paper from Darla and saw what she had read.

Mr. Bickles told them, "Darla's right. Chip Skylark was in the house."

Timmy asked, freaked, "And he heard us singing?"

Mr. Bickles commented, "Apparently so. There is even a quote here from him!"

Mr. Bickles passed the paper back to Darla.

She read, " When asked what he thought about the play; Skylark had this to say, 'I always knew that these kids were good and I always knew that Timmy was a great singer.' And those around me agreed and that turned into a standing ovation."

Trixie responded, "I can't believe that we rocked the house like that."

A.J. added, "I can't believe that Chip was in the house!"

Timmy checked his watch and gasped. He told them, "And I can't believe that it is this late! I've got to get mom and dad's present!"

With that, he scooted out of the booth and ran out. Everyone's hair was messed up due to this except for A. J.'s (seeing that he doesn't have hair).

Shirley commented, "Geese, that present must have been pretty important if Timmy skipped out on pizza."

All of Timmy friends nodded in agreed to this as they started to dig into the pizza. Midway through; Remy stated, "You know. I just thought of something." Everyone turned to him as he added, "Why don't we throw a surprise party for the Turner's?"

Veronica answered, "That's a great idea!"

Tootie added, "Timmy will love it!"

A.J. looked on his calendar and saw something. He silently 'hm' ed at this and Darla turned to him.

Darla whispered, "Something wrong?"

A.J. just shook his head as Alicia watched this exchange from afar. She was, also, starting to get suspicious.
