This is my first fanfic about my favorite singer, Josh Groban. It's been about two years since I started writing it, and after the great response it's gotten on other sites I decided to post it here. I hope you enjoy, please review and let me know if you'd like me to continue it! Happy reading! :)
"So, Rob, what did you want to ask me about?" The dark-haired young man settled back in his chair and looked at his friend across the desk expectantly.
"I'm going to impose on our friendship and ask a big favor," Robert Martin replied with a self-deprecating laugh. "But it's one I don't think you'll mind granting."
"All right then, ask away!"
"Well, in a nutshell, here's the situation. I went to a small, private college in my hometown, and they've been running low on funds the last few years. Lack of sufficient donations and all that; you know the deal. The concern now, however, is that the music program is in danger of being cut."
"Oh, it's that bad?"
"Yes! And I'd hate to see that happen – their music department is one of the best in the country! I visited tons of other colleges when I was deciding where to attend, and I never saw a music program to equal ours. If their funding is cut, they won't be able to offer a music major anymore."
"That's terrible, but … what does this have to do with me?"
"I was on the phone with my old voice teacher yesterday, and he suggested I use my position in the recording industry for something useful - he's still mad that I didn't become a music teacher instead! – and find someone to come do a concert at the college to help raise money. The administration told him if they can raise a certain amount of money on their own, they can keep their major for at least another year." He sat back and eyed his friend, who was looking at him with a thoughtful expression in his dark eyes. "What do you say?"
Hesitating, the young man rubbed his stubbly chin contemplatively. "Have you checked this out with any of the staff yet?" he asked.
"No, I decided to run it by you first."
He nodded, still thinking. Finally, he stood up, a smile lighting up his face. "Well then, I'd say you better mention it to them, so we can start planning!"
Rob stood up, came around the desk, and began vigorously pumping his friend's hand. "Thanks so much! Wait 'til I call and tell them who to expect!" he said excitedly.
