It is summer vacation, and Gabriella and Troy want to have a memorable summer together. Just if they can find jobs! Then Sharpay schemes to get Troy a job at her country club, Lava Springs, but the plan backfires when the whole Wildcat Gang gets jobs there. Sharpay meanwhile is trying to get Troy to like her, and sing with her at the talent show. She gives Troy promotions, scholarships, and high treatment which changes Troy into someone that doesn't care about the Wildcats. But when Gabriella quits, he has a choice, Gabriella, or fame and fortune. He chooses Gabriella as Ryan helps him sing a song with her, and they kiss.[1]
