see you then!

Chad can get depressed, too. He's kind of dramatic, actually.

What wasn't okay about the emails?

He didn't cheat on Jack, he's broken up with him before the tour started.

[hoopsandharmonies]

Okay maybe

But not this bad, this is weird. I can't even get him to talk to me which isn't that weird.
I think I'm just used to Gabi and I telling each other everything.

A LOT? He jerked him back and forth and that's not okay

What??????

[theplaymaker]

He's jerking himself back and forth, so I don't know how to help that.

He'll be on tour until December, so he broke things off for now.

[hoopsandharmonies]

Chad's dancing

I'm scared

[theplaymaker]

I'm sorry, Troy. :( I don't know how to fix this.

[hoopsandharmonies]

...what if I said I had a plan?

[theplaymaker]

...like what?

[hoopsandharmonies]

Chad makes fun of the fact that pretty much every problem I've ever had with Gabriella I've fixed by singing with her, but it's a solid thing. That's why Gabi and I work. I mean we work for other reasons too, not just the duet thing, but the duet thing helps a lot.

It sounds really, really dumb but what if Ryan just sang an apology? He's good at performing, he's a lot less awkward that way than he is just talking.

[theplaymaker]

I'm all for solving problems with singing, but I've never seen it work outside of musicals. And with you and Gabriella, but you two are special.

[hoopsandharmonies]

Yeah, we are <3

Okay wait that's not the point.

Maybe we should just lock them in a room together? Don't tell Ryan but I may or may not be trying to talk Chad into moving to California with me and Gabriella for a few months.

[theplaymaker]

You are so sweet, Troy. Are you and Gabriella moving together?

[hoopsandharmonies]

For a few months... :) Just because Gabi's doing some stuff for summer classes and she'll be in an apartment by herself all summer until her roommates come back and I don't have a lot in Albuquerque that doesn't involve my parents or Chad.

And...think about it, Kelsi. Don't you think a change of scenery would be good for Chad? Good for both of them so that this doesn't happen again? Since nobody is agreeing with my singing idea...

[theplaymaker]

I'm sure a change of scenery would be very good for Chad, but Ryan is touring. There's not much time for any room-locking plans and so far I can't even get him to text Chad.

[hoopsandharmonies]

So Ryan gets multiple scene changes, whatever. Don't worry about him texting Chad until he feels like he can do it without someone else prompting him. Besides I stole Chad's phone so he'd stop waiting for Ryan to text or call. He's busying himself shooting baskets in the gym.

...also he just agreed to come with me. To California.

[theplaymaker]

Did you sing to him? ;)

You are a very good friend, Troy.

[hoopsandharmonies]

I should, shouldn't I? Quick, think of a song I can use to make Chad swoon and forget about Ryan stomping all over his heart.

I'm not sure Chad thinks that right now, but thanks. I'm trying. I doubt you're having any better luck with Ryan anyway so maybe I should be saying YOU are a very good friend.

[theplaymaker]

I'm working on some songs.

Ryan's not quite stepped off the stage yet.

[hoopsandharmonies]

When aren't you? Anything finished that you like?

Of course he hasn't, he's Ryan. I think the Evans twins view the whole world as their personal stage. Ryan's just a lot more tolerable about it. I'd say he's fun to hang out with but I'm still kind of a little annoyed at him for what he did.

[theplaymaker]

A couple of things, but I'm still working on something for you and Gabriella.

For having Chad fall in love with him?

[hoopsandharmonies]

...think you could write me a proposal song? Maybe a surprise duet...

That, and also for giving Chad false hope that they'd get back together and lying about having a boyfriend that he apparently was dating right after they broke up. That's low even for them.

[theplaymaker]

A surprise duet? Do you plan on just handing her the sheet when her part comes up? But I can do that. I want to.

It was at least a few weeks before he started dating Jack...

[hoopsandharmonies]

Something like that. Gabi always knows her parts when we sing together, she'll be great. Someday soon.

...really? What can you tell me about this Jack guy?

[theplaymaker]

I'll work on something, promise.

He's really good-looking, talented, creative. Full of himself, but we all have to be. He wants Ryan.

[hoopsandharmonies]

You're the best.

...if THAT'S true then wtf is Ryan doing??

[theplaymaker]

Trying to get there. ;)

What do you mean, what is he doing? A lot of guys want Ryan. Girls, too. You should be familiar with that. Ryan has to figure out who he wants.
