"So maybe you like to play football, maybe you like to sing and dance. Maybe you like both, maybe you don't like either. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter! Just be yourself, just be you. Because that's good enough for me. We're guys talking to guys about guys who like guys."

"CUT! And that's a wrap!"

Everyone applauded at the scene as Cory Monteith said his last line for the "Straight But Not Narrow" campaign. He bowed politely and thanked the crew for their efforts. Then, Amber Riley, his assistant walked towards him and gave him a huge smile. He put his arm around her and they moved away from the video shoot.

"So, what's up next Ams?"

"You're pretty much done for tooday." She replied as she flipped through her daily planner.

"Awww, that quick?" He pouted and she laughed. Cory had always been a workaholic. Not that it was a bad thing, but he was this close to overworking himself and still insisted that he wasn't working hard enough.

"You've got a big day tomorrow Cory, take all the rest you need."

He grumbled as he pulled out his car keys and the pair got inside his vehicle.

"So, home then? Unless, you've got other plans?" He asked as he started to pull away from the parking lot.

Just before she could reply, her phone started to ring.

"Amber! How's the video shoot coming along?"

"Hey Ryan, we've just wrapped up for the day and we're heading home."

"Could you drop by my office then? We've got something to discuss. Bring Cory along, he's involved in this as well."

Amber agreed and hung up. Cory knew that she had just set up a meeting with his manager, which only meant that he was about to be involved in another project.


"So, we've been getting a lot of calls from the fans ever since you did Monte Carlo. They're requesting more of Cory Monteith, due to the lack of press coverage in the tabloids."

"I didn't know a good image had its consequences as well." Cory joked.

"In Hollywood terms, no news is bad news."

Cory gave Amber a side look as Ryan Murphy continued.

"So we were thinking of setting up a competition among The Montourage. We would have an Express Yourself contest, in your honour of course. Fans from anywhere around the world would send in messages, videos, explaining why are they your biggest fan. There would be more than one winner for this. The consolation prize would be an autographed picture, and it goes to the first 50 contestants. Next, third prize would go to the top 20, and it'll be a personal call of 5 minutes from you. The first runner up goes to the contestant who can best express his/her self, and he/she would be treated to a dinner date with you. Finally, the grand prize winner gets to spend a week of their time following you around, learning more about your life. How does that sound?"

Amber knew the strict line that Cory kept between his social life and the public media. "One week? Isn't that a bit too much. I'd say we would be fine if we kept it to a maximum of 2 to 3 days."

"A week's just enough for to keep him up in the tabloids long enough. Of course, I completely understand if you're against the idea, Cory. But do this for your fans. You wouldn't need to get back to me this instant but you have always been thanking them for their support. This would be a good time to prove yourself."

The last line got to him. He nodded in agreement.
