Summary
This is a self-indulgent Portwell "What if . . . ?" oneshot that diverges from canon and takes place shortly after 2x09. Name's on the tin; 100% certified fluff.
"Oh boy," EJ said, "For somebody who once spent--what was it, two months?--in Paris, you really do have a terrible French accent."
"Hey!" Gina straight up laughed. "It was only one month, and not in Paris. Actually, my entire Paris experience was basically just the inside of the airport."
He hmm'd at that. "That's too bad. You'll have to go back some time. To Paris, I mean, not the airport. Well, to the airport first, obviously, and then Paris."
She looked out the window to hide her dopey smile. "Definitely." She cut her eyes back to him, even if he was watching the road and not her, "You buying me another plane ticket?"
"Sure," he agreed, easy, not missing a beat. "As long as I get the window seat." -

Summary
Gina Porter knows she can be prideful. She is well aware of her tendencies to be stubborn and iron-willed and resolute (a trait her Mom likes to say she got from her); pushing her muscles dancing until she got the move just right, no matter the toll it takes, all-nighters studying scripts and flashcards until the ink and highlighters stain her fingers to ensure optimal grades in her everyday classes and a meticulous performance during rehearsals. She puts in effort every day to be good, to be the best, she does it all on her own, and is, rightfully so, proud of herself. She starts to believe that she doesn’t need anyone else, that she’s perfectly fine on her own. Her Mom is busy with work to provide for them, to keep her dancing, keep her happy, so she says nothing about the crumbling loneliness, puts on her best face and reminds herself that she is proud and strong and doesn’t need anyone’s help.
She also knows that it is that line of thinking that has led her here, by herself in Ashlyn’s home, a pulsing ache behind her eyes and a painful scratchiness to her throat.

or, Gina is sick and in denial, E.J. takes care of her, and more than one person comes to a realization.

Summary
‘It was nice catching up, but I have a flight to catch’ Jack breaks her train of thought, ‘You may have changed a lot, but you’re still pretty cool.’ He mocks her with a salute and speed walks away through the exit.
Even though his last words are a throwaway line, she can’t help but realize for the first time that she has changed. Not in a subtle way either, she’s changed from her core. Her morals have changed, her values have changed. Even a year ago the most important thing in her life was recognition, power. Now it’s the people in her life, that brought this change, to begin with. She closes her eyes, a vision of E.J flashes through her head. Followed by Ashlyn and all her other friends.
And as soon as the thoughts enter her mind she wants them gone. Because they’re too true, and Gina doesn’t want to know. She doesn’t want to know why E.J’s so important to her

Gina comes to some realizations while stuck at the airport.

Will you tell Miss Jenn, if I tell Gina? by EineUnendlicheGeschichte

Summary
After EJ finds out about the beautiful and heartfelt opening night gift Mr. Mazzara is building for Miss Jenn, he keeps teasing his teacher about it. When Mr. Mazzara reminds EJ about his own situation with Gina, the senior makes a bold suggestion: "Will you tell Miss Jenn, if I tell Gina?"
What's going to happen on opening night?
Includes my take on the season finale's summary: "While the Wildcats head to Salt Lake Slices, Miss Jenn continues to experience tunnel visions over the awards. Mr Mazzara shows his softer side; Ricky reevaluates a party crusher".

"Uh, I actually"—he shifts the gift bag in his hand to reveal another—"got you something as well."
It’s a red bag, neatly stuffed with white tissue paper. Hanging on one of the ribbon handles outside of the bag, is a tag that reads her name in EJ’s usual clean handwriting. And it’s for her.
“I thought it’d be rude to show up without something for you. I mean, we were in a very serious fake relationship.”
