Beating the Odds *Fillie Fic*

Prologue III (Golden Globes)

General POV:

All the kids have been extremely busy since the premiere of season 2. None busier than Millie and Finn who both have been loaded with interviews and in Finn's case his band Calpurnia (Who are actually amazing) getting their EP recorded with Twin Peaks and setting their dates for their upcoming tour.

Due to this, Neither Millie nor Finn have seen each other or any of the other kids since the premiere. Millie has reached out through text but to use, Finn did not want to speak to her right now, still harboring irritation toward the situation at the premiere has refused to call or text Millie back resulting in her continuing growing relationship with Jacob.

Vancouver, Finns House:

"Dude have you seen this picture floating around yet"? Jack Grazer poked Finn in his arm repeatedly until he finally answered

"No Jack I obviously haven't seen the picture floating around since you haven't even shown me what you are talking about" Finn replied somewhat irritated.

"Look at this, do you think it's true"? Jack leans over to show Finn a picture on Instagram of Jacob Sartorius and what appears to be none other than Millie Bobby Brown both down in Disney World.

Finn's heart started pounding and a sudden feeling that he has never felt before began to climb up his neck and making his face flush with heat. Am I seriously jealous right now? I can't believe that I let a picture of her hanging out with him affect me like this.

Finn decides it was probably just an edit a Jillie fan created until he noticed in one of the pictures that her father and Ava was in the picture which just about confirms these were real further frustrating Finn on the inside.

"Don't blow a fuse man, you can just clear it up with her at the Globes y'know?" Jack stated trying to calm the tension in the boy sitting next to him in which he felt he bonded with the most during the filming of their movie IT.

Finn didn't realize he was holding in his breath as he slowly exhaled closing his eyes as he leaned forward putting his face in his hands then proceeding to roll them back into his messy curls.

"You know what, I don't think I will mention a thing to her. She has the freedom to see whoever she wants. I think I owe the Duffers a call, they know I'm considering becoming a director one day and asked if I had any ideas for the upcoming season to give them a call."

"What do you have in mind for them Finnie boy" Jack asked legitimately curious due to him watching the show to support his friend.

"Something that will literally rock the foundation of the Stranger Things world" Finn answered with a slight frown on his face.

"I'll be back in 10 minutes Jack, don't go crazy while I'm gone" Finn uttered out as he walked away with his phone in hand. Finn reached the safety of his room and shut and locked the door behind him. He walked over and sat down on his bed pulling his phone out and Dialed Matt's number. The phone rung twice until a familiar jubilant voice picked up.

"Hey Finn, how is everything bud"? Matt answered joyfully.

"Hey Matt, is Ross around, I was wondering if I could run an idea by you guys for season 3." Finn spoke hardly believing he was about to suggest what he was about to.

"Yeah sure you luckily caught us just as we are getting to the airport to head to the Globes, let me put you on speaker".

"Hey Finn, what's up bud"? Ross chimed in sounding like he was walking rather quickly.
