A/N: Ok, since 'Trouble' doesn't seem to have many readers, i'll just write something else.
The Book.
Shelby had a big golden book in her office. Noone was allowed to touch it.
It was for emergencies, she had told him. If anything ever went wrong with a choreography or something, the book would be their only help.
They never needed to open it, not even when Jesse had a broken leg and his female lead lay in bed with laryngitis.
Shelby always found a solution on her own, so Jesse just figured the book was there in case Shelby failed. He had never seen Shelby fail, so he guessed noone would ever be able to look into the book.
He didn't even know what it really contained, just that it had something to do with music, dancing, performing and most importantly 'perfection'. Maybe it contained dozens of perfect setlists, choreographies, songs.
For a very long time Jesse had thought that Shelby had all the things that were in the book stored somewhere in her brain too. She had always been a very smart person, so he just guessed she had made the book by herself and used it without even touching it.
The book was locked in her office, in one of the drawers of her desk. Jesse didn't even know where the key was.
So how much help can u get out of a book that is locked away, if you really have an emergency?
How much time would you have to spend on getting the book, when you didn't even have enough time to put up an emergency-plan yourself?
Jesse knew his teacher would have thought of these questions before even making the book, so he guessed he would know the answers by the time he really needed them.
But what exactly did she mean with 'Emergency'?
Somehow, Jesse was sure he would touch the book someday. Sooner or later he would need to.
