The characters that the chapter is focused on will be in parentheses after the chapter title.

This is an AU in which Troy went to Juilliard with Kelsi and Ryan and they graduated high school later, since I was one month away from turning seven when High School Musical came out, and I was 9 when High School Musical: Senior Year came out, and I don't even remember if I saw Senior Year in theaters or if I had to wait until it came on Disney Channel since we were/are poor

otherwise everything is going to be the same from the movies except for what Gabriella is studying, and the Sharpay's Fabulous Adventure is going to take place at the same time but not be seen. Just heard about since I want them to all still be friends, plus they're not that long out of High School so there wouldn't be as much of an opportunity for friendship loss.

This is a crazy crossover AU and has been previously posted of Archive of our own (AO3), this will never be posted on fanfiction(.)net because on there you can only list two fandoms for crossovers.

The title was supposed to be a working title, but it grew on me.

Ages:

Breana- 17, Troy- 20 (winter B-day), Gabriella- 19 (summer b-day), Chad-20, Sharpy & Ryan- 19, Zeke- 20, Peyton- 21

TBBT characters- same as in show.

Distance:

2,440 miles from Pasadena, CA, to New York, NY. No thanks to google.

For the timeline I used the fact that HSM 3 said that Sharpay would stay behind in Albuquerque for at least a year and help Mrs. Darbus, and the fact that Sharpay's Fabulous Adventure came out in 2011 and not 2010, since HSM 3 came out in 2008, but the senior year would extend from 2008 fall semester to 2009 spring semester while the year sharpay took off and helps Mrs. Darbus would be from 2009 fall to 2010 spring.

Of course that means that for this timeline Sharpay took off from fall 2015 to spring 2016. Just to clarify.

This is very angst heavy and heavily suggests PTSD with Breana and definitely mentions past child abuse, and past character death.
