can you please do playride in a school musical hc?
i’ve never done ship headcanons before, so let’s see how it goes!!
much like our dear jeremy, brooke has had a crush on christine for a while now
but she’s much too insecure to put herself out there again
not after she got cheated on last time
chloe is the one who takes the lead and decides she and brooke are signing up for the school musical
she pretends she just really loves fiddler on the roof, but it’s pretty obvious that she’s doing it so brooke will have a chance to talk to her crush
christine gets cast as tzeitel and brooke ends up getting cast as yente
brooke’s a lil upset that she has to play the old matchmaker until christine gushes over how good she’ll be
christine’s so passionate about the show, it’s easy for brooke to get swept up in it, too
especially when christine’s inviting people to run lines and practice dances in her basement on the weekends
brooke gets to know christine’s home very well during the two month rehearsal time
for a while, it’s christine, brooke, chloe, and jenna all hanging at christine’s on the weekends
then one friday at the end of rehearsal, chloe just goes “oh sorry jenna and i were going shoe shopping :// oh well, you two have fun!!”
jenna’s just like “uhh no we weren’t?” internally, but chloe glares sharply before she can even speak
brooke is glaring at chloe for a whole other reason
and little christine is just bummed that she can’t practice ‘matchmaker’ without chloe (who’s playing hodel)
so brooke and christine go back to christine’s house
they say hello to her dad on their way into the basement
(they always practice in the basement bc they can push the furniture aside to do the dance routines)
after a while, christine calls an end
“there’s not much else we can do on our own”
tragically, they’re not in a whole lot of scenes together
panicking a little (she doesn’t want this day to end!!) brooke offers to help christine run her lines
“you are so sweet, brooke!!”
christine practically has heart eyes
they end up laying side by side on the floor
christine’s on her back and brooke in on her tummy, christine’s script laying open in front of her
christine nails all of her lines, of course
no one is surprised at that
and brooke is too busy looking at the script to notice how christine looks up at her, her gaze all soft and gooey
it’s in that moment that christine decides she’s going to kiss brooke during the bows of their final performance
everyone likes a grand gesture, after all
