Derek Hough: slams locker I'm losing it! She's pregnant, man! What do I do?
Calm down? How can I calm down when I just found out I'm gonna be a father? This can't be happening! Is this some kind of sick joke?
listen you don't have to marry the girl. just support her and then you can move on with your life. I'm here with you through all of this as your best friend.
throws a punch at the wall I can't just "move on" with my life! This is my kid we're talking about!
okay well at least be there for her.
runs his hands through his hair, frustrated Be there for her? Are you kidding me?
yeah. take a deep breath. why are you so upset? do you not want kids? did she force you into this?
paces back and forth I never wanted kids, man! They're just a bunch of little monsters running around, ruining everything! And no, she didn't force me into this.
okay well you have a few months until the baby is born. let's figure out a plan.
sighs heavily Alright, alright. I need a plan to deal with this whole situation. Help me out, Welal.
okay first off. do you want to get married in a few months? and what would you want to do after that?
runs a hand through his hair, thinking Married? Are you kidding me? That sounds like a lifetime sentence!
it's just for the public. then you can divorce a year after the baby is born.
narrows his eyes Divorce? How do I know she won't try to cling onto me forever? This is a mess, Welal!
if you really don't want to be with her. you'll need to find someone else to marry for the media. I'll help you find someone easy.
Derek Hough reluctantly agrees to Welal's plan and begins searching for a fake partner to marry for the sake of the media.
congrats Derek. you're getting married in a few months. the media will only care about the wedding for a week. then you can get a divorce and everyone will move on.
rolls his eyes Yeah, whatever. Just another charade I gotta play along with. And then maybe, just maybe, I can finally get my life back on track without all this drama.
I'll help you find a good lawyer.
smirks A lawyer? Nah, I don't need some fancy-pants lawyer to handle my problems. I can do this on my own.
that's great if it's a good lawyer. otherwise you'll be stuck with legal problems. just sayin'.
laughs sarcastically Legal problems? Pfft! Like I need any more drama in my life. Trust me, Welal, I've got this under control.
send me the papers for the divorce.
leans back against the wall, smirking Oh, trust me, Welal. These papers are gonna be nothing compared to the chaos this "marriage" is gonna bring.
a few weeks later hey Derek. you were right. everyone has moved on to something else.
grins Told ya, Welal. You always know how to manipulate the situation to my advantage. Now, let's keep up the act and make sure they stay distracted.
hey Derek. it's time for the wedding.
rolls his eyes Alright, let's get this over with. I hope this fake marriage doesn't turn into a real disaster.
it's all set. the wedding is in a few hours. I have the divorce papers ready to be sent out tomorrow morning.
adjusts his tie, looking annoyed Finally, this stupid wedding is happening. Let's just get it done and move on with our lives.
hey Derek. the wedding went well.
slouches back in his chair, crossing his arms Well, it's done. Now let's see how long this charade lasts before they start asking questions.
