(I laughed for half a minute, you win)

...I suppose that makes sense.

I'm sure your piano is delicious, Jason. ;)

(I'm very proud, I had to think about that for a second...)

[enoughcredits]

Thanks :D

So how's New York? You're still at the performing arts place right?

(it's the best of things)

[theplaymaker]

Juilliard, yes. New York is great. Big, too. Maybe too big.

I still miss East High.

[enoughcredits]

...but it looks pretty small on the map. Are you sure it's too big?

Yeah, I miss it too. You should come back and visit sometime. Zeke and I were going to go see some of the younger Wildcats during Christmas break. Coach Bolton wants us in for a few days of training.

[theplaymaker]

It gets a bit bigger when you're actually here. I can show yo some time.

I'll be there for Christmas, my parents insist! I only saw you at the NYE party last time.

[enoughcredits]

Cool. I've never been back east, maybe someday.

Yeah! We're trying to tell Troy to throw another party but he's not buying it. You should come say hi at the gym though when you're here. Ms. Darbus would probably like to see you too. I'm trying to get her to let me in the music room so I can study the pianos...so far she's not saying yes.

[theplaymaker]

Someday.

Did you make it sound as if you'd take them apart?

...would you take them apart?

And I'll totally say hi to you.

Maybe sometime this spring...Sharpay wants to go to New York to see Ryan and drag Zeke with her, but I'm not letting him go alone. I'm a good friend.

Well maybe, but I'm learning how to put them back together! She's got nothing to worry about.

Cool...that'd be cool. How long are you going to be home?

[theplaymaker]

You are a very good friend. I'll have to take you out when you're here.

Well, you know Darbus. She worries easily.

I don't know yet. 23rd to 27th for sure. I haven't seen Ryan in a while so I wanted to go back then, but I'm not sure.

[enoughcredits]

You'd be a great tour guide and I could get away from her for a few hours.

She shouldn't! I'm going to school, I'm pretty professional now. It'd only be one piano anyway.

Oh yeah, he's been on tour right? I think I saw a poster online or something. He and Sharpay don't look alike anymore, it's weird. Think you've got time to hang out at least a little?

[theplaymaker]

It's always better not to spend too much time with Sharpay. Unless you're Zeke, I guess.

I'd offer you my piano back home, but I only have the one and I kind of need it.

He dyed his hair, yes. Now he looks more like us. I'll just have to make time for you. If you want me to.

[enoughcredits]

She's not that bad around him. We sort of had fun at prom but she's really bossy.

You're not home though...or are you?

Of course I do. Why wouldn't I? You're cool, Kelsi. It's been a while.

[theplaymaker]

She is really bossy, that's true. But very pretty, too.

No, not yet, but I'll need my piano up and functional when I do get home.

You're very cool too, Jason. I just wouldn't want your girlfriend to get jealous.

[enoughcredits]

I don't really care about that though, y'know? Pretty's…subjective. I think that's the word.

I might be able to make it better if you let me! It'll be completely functional.

Wait what girlfriend?

[theplaymaker]

That's the word. You never care about that?

Maybe after Christmas break, if my parents agree? Functional is good.

You don't have a girlfriend? Good, me neither.

[enoughcredits]

No, why? It's dumb, people's looks change all the time. If Chad only thought Ryan was pretty for having blonde hair they wouldn't be dating. Same with Troy and Gabriella. Everybody gets ugly eventually.

Let me know so I can start making plans to fix it.

...did New York make you gay too?

[theplaymaker]

You're right, I guess. But that doesn't mean you can't think someone's pretty at some point.

I'll tell you, for sure.

...no. I mean, I don't have a boyfriend either. Or a girlfriend. No friend. I mean, I have friends, but not boys or girls. ...I mean no one I'm dating.

[enoughcredits]

I think people are pretty, I just don't think it's a big deal.

...yeah? Why not? You could date.

[theplaymaker]

It's not, but most people don't think like that. I like that you think like that.

You could, too! But I don't really have anyone here I want to date.

[enoughcredits]

I like that I think like that too. I don't get everybody else.

Me either. People are kind of weird.

[theplaymaker]

I don't know if people are that weird. I get people pretty well.

But you're special.

[enoughcredits]

I get people too but they focus on the weirdest things.

You're pretty special too. You're not confusing!

[theplaymaker]

I just focus on music and writing. Many people think that's weird.

Thank you! Sometimes I focus on you, too.

[enoughcredits]

But it's what you're good at. I focus on basketball and building stuff and I'm usually pretty good at those and people don't think it's weird. See what I mean?

Oh? Why? Did I do something?

[theplaymaker]

Yes, I see. I think it's because writing and music are geeky things to do, you know?

And you're just being yourself. I like that, it's nice to focus on.
