I really like this! I'm not into Rachel/Will, but this was such an interesting way to go about it, and I thought your dialogue was pretty spot on. Wonderful job ♥

Oh this made me so happy I can't even...these two!! ♥ I love how you write them and the little bits of perfect characterization even for minor characters like this;

Holly’s gone off to a monastery to pray for quake victims so she’s under phone silence

SPOT ON. Great job hun! :D

Yay! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Haha, funny my beta said the same thing about the Holly line. I had to have some realistic explanation for her to be out of the way for a bit. ;P

Thanks so much for reading! :]

This was awesome!

You have Rachel's voice down perfectly. I loved her stubborn refusal to quit the play and her matter-of-fact "she was going to play Sarah Brown, and her teacher would just have to gracefully quit his role". And this line:
“Besides, you’d just make me sit in the backseat like I was eight again.”
made me laugh so hard!

Will's reasons for wanting to be in the musical were very valid ones (and I think ones he should definitely be exploring on the show - the man needs a hobby!). I liked the camaraderie between them during rehearsal. Will is essentially the most inappropriate teacher alive, so the part where he punches her on the arm after kissing her felt so true to character.

The kiss itself was wonderful, and the closing line was just perfect. Fabulous job all 'round! :)
