Chapter 1
It had been a week since what happened in Borchert's Lab, Subway hadn't purchased Greendale thanks to Jeff and his emotions for Annie, even though he proposed to Britta (only to later call it off, which really didn't surprise anybody including Abed) citing that "it just wouldn't work".
It had been quiet all fronts; Shirley had been working on her relationship with Andre and the boys whilst finding way to improve her sandwich shop, Britta had gone back to living her usual life of taking care of her cats and working as a bartender occasionally giving "free psychological sessions" to any patron that walked in, Abed was still Abed except he had Rachel now (though he still missed Troy, greatly) though he wished he could find a way to talk his best friend about all that had gone on, Professor Duncan was teaching summer classes (when not drinking or being a womanizer), Dean Pelton was riding high off of that Greendale was safe (for now) and occasionally (without being invited) stopped by Jeff's place to say hello or ask about future study plans along with anything the "Save Greendale Committee" had planned for the foreseeable future.
Which leads to Jeff and Annie, things had gotten awkward in the week after stopping Subway, namely she wouldn't take Jeff's calls or merely say she was busy to really talk (that was half-true since, the real reason was she just needed some time away from Jeff and the study group to focus on herself and ). After drinking some of Pierce's scotch that was bequeathed to him, Jeff had decided to go to sleep because he had to wake up early for morning classes (this was so he could have more time to himself after teaching). That was until the new neighbor began playing his extremely loud stereo.
"You were the girl that changed my world
You were the girl for me
You lit the fuse, I stand accused
You were the first for me
But you turned me out, baby"
He saw the clock it was nine-thirty in the evening "That's been the sixth time this week, it's getting really annoying, maybe if I'll talk to him he'll stop and I can back to sleep" he grudgingly got up from his bed to confront this new neighbor who he hadn't really him since he was always busy hanging except seeing the movers load up his things which included a turntable, six bookcases and a leather sofa (which most likely indicated he had some money to spare and was probably some young hipster who he would probably despise and later try to get evicted so he could sleep).
Jeff knocked on the door. And what he got a Hispanic kid who was no younger than twenty years old, (at his best guest) wearing a white t-shirt, red Jordan basketball shorts and black Snoop Dogg house shoes. With a short haircut and goatee the guy looked like he had just come back from the gym when Jeff spoke up.
"Hi, I'm not sure if you noticed but you've been playing stereo, loud enough to wa—"
The kid spoke up "I know what you're gonna say and I apologize, it's just that this the first time I've lived by myself so I'm kinda soaking it in y'know"
Jeff was surprised at how quick on his feet the kid was "All I ask is that you keep it quiet so everybody can sleep please" that's when he heard a voice behind him.
"Well isn't this a coinky-dean, a Greendale professor meeting a perhaps soon-to-be-student" said the Dean who was wearing Dalmatian pajamas "Hi Craig" said the young man as both Jeff and Dean Pelton stood outside his door now.
"You know what, how about you two come in and we can talk" before extending his hand to Jeff "Emilio Mendoza, but you can call me Em if that suits you better" the ex-lawyer extended his hand as well "Jeff Winger" that's when Emilio stood out of his way to let the men enter into his apartment.

One hour later
The Dean had explained to Jeff that Emilio had just moved from Portland, Oregon after throwing a dart to a map of the Western US to which he would correct the Dean on anything he got wrong about his story. Along with Jeff talking about everything that just happened almost six and a half years ago from starting the study group to sleep with Britta, the paintball games, Troy leaving to earn the million dollars bequeathed to him by Pierce, the Ass-Crack Bandit but it was when Jeff started speaking about Annie that Emilio saw a change in Jeff's face.
"You love that girl don't you carnal?" using the Latin slang for emphasis to which Jeff nodded, but replied "I mean I'm older than her and she's a kid, it wouldn't wo—"
"You're making excuses man, from what you told me she seems like a smart, beautiful young woman with a good head on her shoulders you should at least give her and you should at least give her and yourself a shot before coming to any judgments, because we only got one life to live man take advantage of it because who knows she could find someone and all you would be left with is regrets and sorrow while you're saying to yourself 'what-if'." He left Jeff speechless with that he had only known this kid for an hour and he had given Jeff some wisdom
"Never thought about it like that" taking a sip of Dos Equis beer that Emilio had in his freezer that was for "guests and friends" and that it was always the host's job to have a tranquil environment for his guests even if discussing matters of the heart. Of course the Dean had left by that time when Jeff began speaking about Annie saying he had a "long day" tomorrow and that he needed his sleep.
"You know what Jeff it'll work out sooner or later, just gotta give it time, because in her eyes she thinks may want her as a rebound from Britta, but from speaking to you that isn't the case, look if you see her tomorrow talk to her no matter what she may say or do just Talk. To. Her." He emphasized again before saying that he would talk to him tomorrow gesturing his guest that it was time to leave.
"Hey kid, will I see you at school tomorrow?"
"Yeah, I enrolled online last Friday, so I'll see you manana"
