Shanna shuffles up to her mailbox, a lukewarm half-full cup of coffee clutched in her hands from when she went out with Tyler and Abraham only minutes before. She unlocks it quickly and peers in, taking the various papers, envelopes, and catalogues from it. She shuffles through them, before, finally, landing on the last article; a deep purple envelope decorated with hearts and scribbles, Shanna's own name and address scrawled in a messy handwriting across the front. A stamp with a picture of a dog's (a Dalmatian?) butt is plastered in the corner.

Shanna frowns, opening up the packet and drawing out a long, sloppy, hand-written letter, completely printed with a blue gel pen.

Dear Shanna,

Hello. You don't know me, since I'm only a fan of yours who watches the Glee Project. Your smile is beautiful and you're a fantastic belter (beltress…?), by the way, but that's not what I'm here for.

I have heard that you have recently had a birthday party. Well, Happy Birthday! But, as you probably know, Nellie and Michael were unable to make it to this celebration. They probably told you that they wouldn't be able to get there from wherever (San Fran…?) they were at the time, and I think I need to tell you that this is a load of bullshit.

See, I am a hardcore Michellie (Michael/Nellie) shipper. For life. And this is what probably happened.

Okay, so they were hanging out, probably watching Sexuality again because, c'mon, that's a fantastic episode, who wouldn't want to watch it over again? And they were alone. And they were watching Milkshake/Moves Like Jagger, and they were marveling over how hot they were or something.

And then Michael said, "You know what, you did great in this."

And Nellie said, "Aw, thanks, Michael. You were pretty awesome yourself."

And then the sexual tension just exploded or something, and they no longer could deny their mental boners for each other, so they started making out.

And then Michael was like, "Oh, I bet if we hurried, we could make it to Shanna's party."

But Nellie was all of a sudden a total sex kitten, and she was like, "Or we could do something else."

Something else is, like, sex or something. Maybe not. I dunno, I wasn't there.

But yeah, so they did something else, and that's probably why they couldn't make it to your party.

I hope this makes you feel a lot better about them not making it to your party, because you must ship Michellie, too, they have too much chemistry. C'mon.

Um, yeah, so that's all. You're awesome. Say hey to the others for me.

Love,

Your fan, Ava

xoxo

Shanna can't help but laugh as she makes the decision to show this to Michael and Nellie when she next sees them.
