One Month Earlier

Will holds the cell phone to his ear, talking to his girlfriend, Emma Pillsbury. "I'm not blaming them, Emma, it was just a little unprofessional of them to kiss on stage, okay?"

"I know it was, Will," Emma's voice replies, "but they're kids! They can't help their instincts! I thought it was adorable."

Will groans. "And I still can't believe you saw it on Youtube already. I mean, it happened a week ago."

"The Internet works fast, Will. But it's okay! You can't let this loss at Nationals get you down!"

At this, Will bites his lip slightly, wondering how to tell Emma the news. "I'm not, Em'. Actually..." His voice fades out, as he is unsure how she'll take his decision.

"What?" comes a soft prompt from the guidance counselor.

"I... I'm staying in New York this summer."

There's a tiny pause, an instant of hesitation, and then Emma replies with affection, "That's great! I'm so happy for you!"

"Really?" Will asks almost apologetically. "Because I'm going to miss you a lot, I just... I can't pass up this opportunity."

There's another moment of silence, and Will can almost picture Emma, lying on her bed, tilting her head to one side as she tries to figure out what he's talking about. "Opport... opportunity for what?"

He smiles, and then says, "You know how I had to turn down April Rhodes' offer to be in her show? Because of Nationals? Well, I met her yesterday for coffee, and she said that the offer still stands, so..."

This time, Emma actually sounds much more happy. "Oh, Will! You're going to be on Broadway? That's amazing!"

Will laughs into the cell phone, smiling at his girlfriend's excitement. "Yes. It's-it's a dream."

"Well," Emma replies, "I am so happy for you. And I'll be fine by myself, so don't you worry about that. I love you, but I have to go, I invited some friends over and they'll be here soon."

"Cute, Em'. Who'd you invite?"

Emma replies, "Holly Holliday," and Will almost does a spit-take.

"Really?"

"Really."

"But I thought you didn't like her, or didn't approve of her or something?"

"No," Emma responds. "She's all right. Anyway, gotta dash. Love you, Will!"

"Love you too, babe." Will hangs up, and then chuckles to himself. Holly Holliday. With Emma. They're polar opposites. Will couldn't even imagine them having a nice meal together, or whatever they were going to do.

Will rolls a shoulder back before pocketing his phone and standing up. Time to go book a hotel room for the next three months.

He can hear his wallet silently crying already.

A/N: Oh look, a wild plot! Go, typing powers! I choose you!

Wild Plot used Holly Holliday!

It was super effective!

...

So apparently, there's going to be Elly (Emma/Holly) in this fic too. Who knew? :D

Reviews would be awesome~
