"I'm really happy that you were able to make it, G. I don't know what we would've done about that dance break if you hadn't showed up."
"I'm sure you could've improvised something." Gina shrugs, giving the girl a hug. "I really missed you, Andy."
"I missed you too." Andrea says, pulling away with a frown. "I really wish you could stay. I'd offer to let you stay at mine, but that might be an even worse fate."
"Yeah, your mom scares me." Gina says, her eyes wide in fear just thinking about the older Townsend. "The East Coast hasn't been so bad. It's definitely not the same, though."
"Well, i'm only a call away if you need me." Andrea winks at the younger girl.
"Sunny..." the two girls turn to see EJ walking into the room with Troy's jersey on.
"I'm gonna—" Gina skips out of the room, leaving the two alone.
"What are you doing in Troy's jersey, EJ?" Andrea asks, suspiciously, "I thought you gave up trying to steal the role from Ricky."
"He was the one who gave me the part." EJ says, making the girl even more confused. "I don't completely understand what's going on with him right now, but he thinks he's not in the right mind to be playing a lead role right now. Apparently theres an important scout out in the audience here to check out Nini, he wanted her to have a Troy who wasn't on the verge of a breakdown."
"What the hell happened out there." Andrea asks herself, massaging her temples. "I heard 'Getcha Head in The Game' was a mess, but..."
"I wanted you to hear it from me. Ricky told me not to tell you because he knew you'd be worried and didn't want to bring you down." EJ says, placing a hand on the girl's shoulder. "But you were going to find out anyways and I just couldn't keep this from you."
"Thanks, this is much better than finding out before I had to perform 'Wondering'." Andrea lets out a shaky breath, grabbing onto the edge of the vanity. "Did it suddenly just get really hot in here?"
"Are you really still nervous about performing?"
"No, no— it's just—."
Andrea Townsend
"I'm terrified."
"I had cheer practice like two hours before coming here and am just a little fatigued is all." Andrea says, taking deep breaths to try and calm herself down. "That's all."
"Yeah, i'm not buying that." EJ says, making Andrea roll her eyes before turning back to him.
"My body literally feels like it's going through hell right now."
"Well, I don't think that's the only reason why you are feeling this way." EJ says as Andrea groans. He rolls his eyes, gently taking the girl's hands into his own. "You are going to do great out there, Drea. You have a great voice, you practice this piece nonstop, you are an amazing piano player, and you are literally perfect at everything you do. So stop worrying so much."
The burst of encouragement took the girl by surprise, especially the last comment he made about her. Her cheeks tinted pink slightly, making her hands retreat to her sides as she turns away from the boy to look at herself in mirror.
"You're right. I'll be fine."
"Andy—"
"EJ, you're on in 2. Andrea, you're on in 6."
