Aloha ke Akua - 𝘓𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘎𝘰𝘥

On New Year's Eve, high school juniors Troy and Gabriella meet at a party while both teens are at a ski lodge during winter break. At the party, the two are called upon to sing karaoke together . They find that they have a connection and decide to exchange numbers before going their separate ways. During basketball practice, Troy has trouble focusing because his thoughts are on Gabriella and the idea that he might enjoy singing more than basketball. Gabriella and Troy go to the musical auditions where Sharpay and her twin brother Ryan Evans perform. But Troy and Gabriella are too shy to audition. When Gabriella finally gains the confidence to step forward, Troy offers to sing with her, but Ms. Darbus tells them that they are too late. After Mrs. Darbus attempts to leave, Kelsi Nielsen, the musical's composer, trips and drop her music sheets. Troy and Gabriella rush to help her, and they sing together as Kelsi plays piano. Ms. Darbus overhears them and gives them a callback audition. After overhearing Gabriella and Troy practicing, Sharpay has Ms. Darbus change the callback time to coincide with both the basketball championship and the scholastic decathlon to interfere with Gabriella and Troy's participation. After Gabriella and Troy audition, Ms. Darbus gives the two the lead roles, making Sharpay and Ryan understudies. Troy and Gabriella both win their respective competitions, and the entire school gathers in the gym to celebrate. Thus Lovers are born!
