No, Because Same, For Sure :D

no, because same, for sure :D

if i wake up tomorrow and find out “something there”has nothing to do with portwell, all hell will break loose.

risotto night

i'm not sure if they will actually show the portwell date happening in the show, but if they did, here's how i think it should go:

location: fancy italian restaurant (because i don't think salt lake slices has risotto lmao)

ash helps gina get ready and she looks absolutely gorgeous. as she finishes up, the doorbell rings. ash runs to get the door. it's ej all dressed up. she starts squealing with happiness and motions for him to come in and sit down. she tells him how happy she is for both of them and warns him not to hurt her. just then, gina comes into the room. ej's face lights up and he stands to go to her. he tells her how beautiful she looks and hugs her. gina smiles fondly, ash standing behind them looking like a proud mother with a daughter. she jokingly tells them to be home by 11. they go out to ej's car.

at the restaurant, they sit in a corner by the window. the lights are dim and the walls are covered with vines and exposed brick to add to the ambiance. they order 2 bowls of risotto.

as they wait for their food, gina and ej reminisce all of their little moments together and gina expresses once again how grateful she is to have him. ej responds by saying that having her in his life makes him so much happier than he could've ever imagined.

as they leave the restaurant and drive back to ash's house, they talk about what a magical night this was and gush over the food. as gina is about to head out of the car, she says something along the lines of:

i'm still in shock that you remembered risotto night at north high and gives him a soft kiss on the cheek.

with a smile, ej says: you know i would never miss risotto night

now picture this, but with the something there instrumental playing in the background. boom.

portwell finale kiss? yes, i want it. but you know what i really want? s3 camp!portwell constantly holding each other, forehead kisses, cheek kisses, soft kisses/hugs goodnight, gina on ej’s shoulders playing chicken, run-and-jump hugs, piggyback rides. give me all the fluffy, cutesy shenanigans possible bc these two deserve it.

portwell x something there

soo since i literally cannot wait to see if something there will be portwell related, i wanna connect the lyrics of the song to some of their moments. i'm like 99.9% sure that this has been done before and isn't a new thing so yea.

There's something sweet, and almost kind But he was mean and he was coarse and unrefined And now he's dear, and so unsure I wonder why I didn't see it there before

since this verse is supposed to be from gina's perspective, it might refer to the change that she sees in ej from season 1 going into season 2. i think back to how ej was portrayed as a villain and used as an obstacle for both rini and nini. despite his struggles, he became much more open not only to himself, but also to his friends.

She glanced this way, I thought I saw And when we touched, she didn't shudder at my paw No, it can't be, I'll just ignore But then she's never looked at me that way before

the entire verse absolutely screams heart eyes. cue portwell lovingly staring at eachother:

1. carlos's quinceañero

2. north high lookout

3. during career day sitting close to eachother

4. the couch convo

5. airport scene

6. right after gina thanked him for the plane ticket

7. the videochat with the others and at the airport

i absolutely love the line she didn't shudder at my paw because it could be so easy for gina to just reject ej's sweet gestures (like a metaphorical paw) and see him only as the guy in season 1. instead, she's so warm towards him. that's not only called love, but also deep affection and care. i also feel like the line has the meaning that despite their differences (like belle being a human and the beast a mix of animals), they are willing to work together and understand eachother. ex. ej asking gina to describe moving around a lot and gina not not relating to ej having his life planned out.

New, and a bit alarming Who'd have ever thought that this could be? True, that he's no Prince Charming But there's something in him that I simply didn't see

while they have some nice moments in season 1, i feel as though ej and gina have only just now started to realize their feelings for each other and how immense they actually are. i love true, that he's no prince charming because it kinda goes back to the couch scene in 2x08 when gina acknowledges that although he fails a lot, ej keeps on trying to be better.

i also love how in 2x09, gina admits that things may be different between her and ej, something that she’s never seen before.

don’t get me wrong, i absolutely love the possibility of a something there comparison to summer nights from grease. but i also love the idea of making it sorta like everyday from hsm2.

picture this: an open stage. seb on the piano. gina gets pushed to center stage similarly to kourtney in 1x08 and is asked to sing a song from the show in order to test the microphone system/for another reason because maybe ash and ricky are busy brainstorming ideas. she sings the first verse of something there.

suddenly, she hears another voice singing the beast's part. ej walks onto the stage from the other side, microphone in hand. he goes to gina and they stand inches apart. they stare into each others eyes, ej takes her hand, and as gina begins to sing new, and a bit alarming... the lights go down and they are the only people visible. like during nini's audition in 1x01 or lily's solo during belle in 2x02, the camera spins around showing them from all different angles.

suddenly the lights turn back on and everyone on the stage is in absolute shock, their mouths open.

OMG, ok, here is how i picture the interaction between ej and jamie:

since i'm not sure if jamie knows about portwell, ej notices that gina is talking to him and then afterwards goes up and introduces himself.

jamie mentions that he is gina's brother and then ej starts gushing about how amazing she is at everything. jamie notices and says with a smile you like her don't you? ej blushes and says a lot.

he then tells ej how lucky gina is to have him and mentions what a good guy he is, patting him on the back.

bonus that i can't quite fit in the episode but hope happens anyways: jamie finds gina before leaving and tells her you did a good job with ej or something along the lines of that and she is just left staring at him in shock.

idk if this makes sense, but i just know that the scene between them with be adorable.
