Party Planning {open for everyone who passed}

[Martha Cox]

Martha sat in an arm rest at Gabriella's house with everyone else. She had been listening to her fellow Wildcats discuss the party that would officially end the summer. Several suggestions had been thrown and agreed upon. Now the basic necessities were checked off and the only thing that needed filling was the entertainment.

Music and spin the bottle were now taken care of. Martha felt that she needed to contribute to the party planning, seeing as how everyone was in charge of or bringing something. She didn't want to just sit there and listen to the others while they planned. Sure, she was going to help the girls decorate, but still it wasn't enough.

When she finally was going to suggest something, it was too late, Emma had made the final suggestion, and the meeting had been adjourned. Martha sighed, at least she would help with the preparations.

[Emma the Loyal Sharpette]

Emma smiled proudly as Gabriella complimented her idea for the game. She finally had suggested something good! She wanted to jump up and down, but she kept her cool. Well, as cool as she could for keeping a huge grin plastered to her face.

She heard Gabriella say that the meeting was over, and she bounced up. Her butt was rather sore from sitting on the arm of the couch for so long. She tried to rub it without being too obvious about it. She walked over to Gabriella and caught her before anyone had the chance to come up to her.

"Thanks for taking my suggestion. I was hoping that it would be a good game for the party." Emma smiled happily.

"Oh, and if you want, I'd be more than willing to go shopping for the decorations. I love decorating and picking out everything!" Emma offered. "We can go together....if you want."

Emma really wanted to get closer with Gabriella. Since her and Sharpay had become so close, she figured that Gabriella must be pretty cool for Sharpay to accept her. Emma, naturally, wanted to be on the in's with Sharpay's clique, so she wanted to make peace with Gabriella, and maybe develop a friendship. She hoped that maybe if the two went shopping, they could gain some quality time together, and of course, Sharpay would be happy that her Sharpette was giving her new best friend a chance. It was a win-win situation for Emma. New friend, and scoring points with Sharpay.

[Gabriella Montez]

Gabriella smiled at Emma and replied, "Sure, I'd like that. Should we start now?" Gabriella asked, looking at Emma. This was going to be exciting! At least, someone was willing to help, and that someone actually looked forward to the party! Well, she knew everyone was eager, but it was nice to actually see someone be stoked once in a while.

[Taylor McKessie]

Taylor was leaning on the couch, trying hard to think up ideas for the game, but unfortunately her mind seemed to be stuck and no idea was flowing from her. She heard other suggestions, like Karaoke, which Gabriella was pretty excited about, and this new game from Emma that Taylor never heard of. She nodded her head lightly, sure it might to be fun game, but only if she's watching and not the one who had to be kissed. Oh goodness.

And before Taylor knew it, the meeting was over. That was fast. Taylor thought to herself. "So, we'll see each other again during the party. I hope we'll have a blast." Taylor commented, looking at the Wildcats with a slight smile.

[Emma the Loyal Sharpette]

Emma bounced excitedly, and grinned happily at Gabriella.

"Yeah! Let's get this started! I'm totally ready when you are!" Emma said, hoping not to sound too eager. Emma loved decorating and always loved helping out with parties. It was one of her better abilities, and she thrived on it.

She was very glad Gabriella accepted her invitation to go shopping together, and knew that with the two of them working on it, the party would be a huge success. Gabriella was so organized and smart with these types of things, and would keep Emma's imagination level in thinking about decorations and such for the party.

Emma turned to look at Taylor. She never was too sure if she and Taylor would ever get along, but she smiled anyways at her. "I'm sure we will have a great time, Taylor!"

[Sharpay Evans]

Sharpay was relieved that the meeting was finally over, but Emma's suggestion of the guessing game somehow made her feel a little bit nervous, just for the simple possibility that she may have to kiss her brother, and guess it right all the time. That would be too...suspicious.

She stood up, and walked over to Gabriella and Emma, who looked like they were getting along quite well. She smiled at the two and gave each girl a hug. "So girls, I'll see you at the party! Gabriella, I'll call you later." She said excitedly with a phone hand gesture. She was going to have her first party as a Wildcat, which minutes ago felt like a nightmare, but now it made her feel like she finally belong. She just couldn't help but feel so excited about the idea.

She waved at the two before walking past Ryan and grabbing his hand, pretending to drag him away from the scene, just like the bossy big sister she was to the eyes of the rest of the Wildcats, excluding Gabriella.

[Ryan Evans]

Ryan nearly fell off the couch when Emma suggested that game, he would have rather voted for the board game, Guess Who. He started to sweat lightly from his spot on the couch, he didn't know if he could quite handle kissing his sister in public and not get distracted by how he should act and how he would act.

He listened to the rest of his friends jabber on about things while he mind raced with rationalizations, clutching his hands on his knees lightly as he breathed out. Maybe they will exempt me from kissing Sharpay, I mean she is my sister after all, they don't know anything else. He was nodding to himself the whole time, hoping that he could keep their secret a while longer, he didn't want to lose her.

As the meeting slowly dissolved around him and people began to leave the couch slowly, he breathed out a sigh of relief, he was safe for now. He stood slowly and stretched, his back cracking lightly from inactivitely. He looked at Sharpay pleadingly to hurry her goodbyes, which he knew that she would regardless, they were having the same concerns at the moments. Regardless of how fun the party would be, it would be a test of control of will power. When she took his hand and dragged him from the room he nearly screamed in victory, but rather he just decided to follow her, to keep up the well groomed facade of the little brother-poodle.

[Bebe Tenko]

Bebe realized that everyone had gone off to do their own thing. She sat up off the floor quickly. So much for party planning - she'd helped... not at all. Bebe sighed and walked up to Gabriella, resting her elbows on a granite countertop.
"Miss Gabriella, why did you invite me here? I can't help with anything - I DIDN'T help with anything," Bebe corrected herself.
