{PRIVATE: Of course I will, Jesse. He's been sleeping mostly, but when he's conscious for more than five minutes, I'll pass the news along.}

SEBASTIAN: [It had been far too long since Jesse and Sebastian had been able to speak properly. What with Sebastian becoming increasingly busy with school, lacrosse and college applications, as well as Jesse's workload at UCLA likely piling up, the two of them hadn't had the chance to truly catch up beyond a stray text message here and there, and to Sebastian, that simply was not adequate enough. Sebastian certainly was not as close to Jesse as he was to people who lived closer by, but he definitely wanted that to change. Now that he basically had a foot out of the door that was his high school life, he wanted to get closer to Jesse, who could very well become a friend who lived nearby is Sebastian ended up going to Stanford in the fall. And even if he didn't, Sebastian believed that Jesse was one of the people he had met in America who was the most similar to him, and one of the people with whom he enjoyed a carefree friendship. He was unsure whether or not Kurt was amicable to this friendship, but Sebastian was never really one to listen to people if they told him not to spend time with a certain person. He liked to judge people on his own terms and did not let their relationships with other people govern whether or not he was willing to pursue a friendship with those people. As a result of their not speaking for some time, the two had scheduled a Skype call on an evening where both of them were miraculously free. As Sebastian booted up his computer and logged into his Skype account, he realised that he was excited to speak to Jesse again. Seeing the green icon that indicated Jesse was online, he pushed the call button, realising exactly how long it had been since they had spoken properly and knowing that they would immediately be able to reconnect and catch up.]

Needless to say, I am absolutely prepared for the rigors of this kind of rehearsal. We've been having six-hour rehearsals every night since school has started, and while I know you're all a desolate at my absence, you can rest easy knowing that I am doing what I love. I am armed with an entire box of Vitamin C pills, sheer determination, and a need to impress Dustin Goolsby. So far, everyone in Vocal Adrenaline has been rightfully intimidated by my talent, but extremely pleasant to my face. There's a shrine to Jesse in our green room which I would normally find creepy, but apparently there are other shrines around the auditorium to former VA legends. I can't wait for the day they unveil mine!

SEBASTIAN: I'm wading in an ocean of idiocy and I need you to throw me a life preserver.

Of course, I'm going to take your advice, but I honestly thought someone as theatre-oriented as Goolsby would appreciate something showtune-y... however, I know you're right. Vocal Adrenaline is really quite known for their classic rock, but... Do you think "Alone" by Heart would be a little too cliché? I'm perfectly capable of all the belts and runs, I just don't want to be Girl #25988 who does that song. And, um, thank you for your advice. I'm very glad you liked my video.
