My sister and I have a joke about how Disney turned Ryan from practically all-out gay to a loving boyfriend for Kelsi. It is presented in script format, because that is how we tell it to people. And because script format is awesome.

Before High School Musical, in the secret lab...
Writer #1: Okay, guys, Disney wants us to make a movie.
Writer #2: AGAIN? We just did one! And it flopped!
Writer #1: Our stuff always flops, stupid. Okay, so, since we know it will flop anyway, let's just go crazy.
Writer #3: Okay... how about a gay guy?
Writer #1: NO! We're Disney! We're the good guys, defending television from the forces of evil!
Writer #3: Okaaay... how about an implied gay guy? And he's not the main character, he's actually... the bad guy?
Writer #2: But that might mean that we're saying that all gay guys are evil.
Writer #3: What about an implied gay henchman?
Writer #1: Okay, we'll go with that.
After High School Musical, in the secret lab...
Writer #1: Oh crap.
Writer #2: We put the gay guy in...
Writer #3: ...and now it's a major pre-teen phenomenon.
Writers #1, #2, #3: GAH!
Writer #1: Ok, guys, we need to find a girlfriend for the gay guy.
Writers #2 + #3: WHO?!
Writer #1: *flipping through cast photos* Okay, not Gabriella... not Taylor... what about that small person?
Writer #2: We already implied that she's with Jason.
Writer #1: That was dumb.
Writer #3: What about that random girl who hip-hopped last time? Did we even give her a name?
Writer #2: Yeah. I don't know why, though. We didn't give one to the skater dude.
Writer #3: Who's idea was it to name her?
Larry the Awesome Janitor: *walks by*
Writer #3: So, what was her name? Martha Cox?
Writer #2: Yeah, and we'll still imply he's gay with baseball, because everyone knows that baseball players are gay.
Writer #1: Okay, we'll go with that.
After High School Musical 2, in the secret spy section...
Epic Hacker #1: *into epic walkie talkie* Epically-Challenged, this is Dark-Abyss... we have a problem.
-ten minutes later-
Writers #1, #2, #3: WHAT?!
Epic Hacker #1: There's this thing called... fanfiction. *cue Mission Impossible Theme*
Writers #1, #2, #3: WHAT?!
Epic Hacker #2: It's this thing where people go online and write about HSM. And guys... some people aren't buying the gay guy.
Writers #1, #2, #3: WHAT?!
Epic Hacker #3: Well, they put him with Chad because of that thing with the switched clothes-
Writer #2: I knew we shouldn't have done that.
Epic Hacker #3: -and now they put him with Martha only because we implied it.
Writer #1: Oh crap.
Writer #2: You can say that again.
Writer #1: Oh crap.
Writer #2: You know, that was supposed to be rhetorical...
Writer #1: Shut up! So we need to switch the couples...
Writer #2: We can't switch Gabriella or Taylor...
Writer #3: Who's left?
*Lucas Grabeel walks by with Olesya Rulin, epically carrying coffee*
Writer #1: I HAVE IT!
*angel chorus, stream of heavenly light touches head*
Writer #1: *looks up* Larry, could you get that hole in the ceiling fixed?
Larry the Awesome Janitor: Yup. *exit Larry the Awesome Janitor*
Writer #1: Okay, here's what we do. We put Kelsi and Ryan together! It just makes so much sense! They're both theater people... take this down, #2...
Writer #2: On it...
Writer #1: They both are under Sharpay's thumb... they're friends... they both wear hats... incidentally, who put in the hats?
Larry the Awesome Janitor: *waves from ladder*
Writer #3: Well, it has to be forced, since he went with Martha for the entire second movie...
Writer #2: How about Sharpay? She's forceful.
Writer #1: BRILLIANT!
Writer #4 (aka The Rookie): So, we're switching couples because the fanfic people want us to and it's really what we should have done in the first place?
Writers #1, #2, #3: EXACTLY!
The End. Fin. Конец. Au revior. Der ende. Adios. You get the idea.
