#sing ms crawly

[sing-sideblog]

How about writing a fic where Moon, Johnny, and Mike team up to find out who's been pulling pranks on the three of them?

Sure thing! This honestly feels like something that would happen during their freetime.

"I've just about had it!"

Buster's ears perked up slightly at the sound of Mike yelling. He, along with Ms. Crawly, sat at the two front row seats listening and watching as Ash practiced her guitar when they heard the mouse yell. Buster got out of his chair and made his way to the back of the stage.

"This is the fifth time this week! I swear, when I get my hands on whoever-"

"Woah, Mike!" Buster quickly said before the mouse would say another word. He approached the group of animals in front of him; consisting of Johnny, Meena, Rosita, Nooshy, and Gunter. Mike was facing away from the koala, staring down at his phone at his own reflection and preventing him from seeing the mouse's face.

"What's going on back here?" He asked the animals in front of him.

"I'll tell ya what's going on! This!" It was then that the mouse turned around. Revealing to Buster why he was so angry.

All over Mike's face were small doodles, as well as a fake mustache, drawn on his white fur in black marker.

While Johnny and Meena had nervous expressions on their faces, Nooshy was laughing so hard that she seemed close to tears. Rosita gave a stern glare at the lynx for laughing at the mouse's misfortune. Gunter was also smiling and giggling at the the sight of the mouse. Though he kept covering his mouth to prevent anyone from seeing that he was laughing as well.

Buster fought back a giggle as he stared at Mike. It seemed wrong to laugh at something as childish as this, especially seeing how angry Mike was. But at the same time, it was hard to resist a small smile. Mike seemed to notice Buster's struggle to hold back a laugh, glaring up at the koala.

"You think this is funny?! Do you know how hard it is to wash marker off? Especially with white fur?!" He snapped.

"It's your own fault!" Nooshy gasped between breaths, trying to compose herself together. She wiped an invisible tear from her eye, "That's what you get for sleepin' back here. It was bound to happen. Kinda disappointed i didn't think of it first."

Mike rolled his eyes and turned his attention back to Buster. "Crap like this has been happening to me all week! First, I found my saxophone case filled with shaving cream and then someone taped a sign that said 'Kick me!' to my back, then..."

As Mike continued to name down the numerous instances where he was pranked, Buster focused his attention on the four animals behind the mouse. He cleared his throat, a serious expression on his face.

"Mike isn't the only one getting tricked by this prankster. I've had a few pranks played on myself recently." He told them, remembering how earlier in the week he sat on a thumbtack that had been placed on his chair in his office. He had felt the tip of the needle as he sat down and quickly got up before anything could happen.

Johnny took a step forward. "I guess I should mention that the same thing has been happening to me as well." He admitted. The previous day, the gorilla had been pranked sometime during rehearsal. He wasn't sure how, but he ended up tripping on stage due to his shoelaces being tied together. He was left confused for the entire day, not sure how someone was able to pull off the stunt without getting noticed by him.

Buster looked at the others. "Anyone else getting pranked?" He asked. To his surprise, the four remaining animals shook their heads.

"Wait. Really? Nothing at all?"

"Nope, Nothing yet." Rosita responded, uncertainty in her voice as she spoke.

"Hey Buster, Is everything ok-" Ash walked backstage, guitar in paw as she approached the group. The moment she saw Mike's face, she almost dropped her guitar and started to laugh.

Mike threw both his hands up in exasperation. "That's it! I'm headin' home early!"

"Wait! Hehehe! Mike, don't go!" Ash tried saying without laughing, which proved to be difficult.

"No! I'm gonna go wash this muck off!"

Buster watched as Mike stormed out of the theater. "Okay then.." he turned to the others. "So, about these pranks. Does anyone have any idea who could be causing them?" He asked.

Immediately, all eyes fell onto Nooshy. The lynx noticed their gazes fixed on her and let out a dramatic gasp. "I am hurt! You actually think I'd do somethin' like this?"

"You did just say you were disappointed you didn't get to Mike first." Johnny pointed out.

"That doesn't mean I did it!" She argued. "Wha' about yesterday, huh? I got here late, There's no way I could've done the shoe thing!"

"She has a point." Meena said.

"Look, let's just get back to rehearsals." Buster finally said before turning around to go back to the front row seats. Ash went back on stage, along with the others.

"Is everything alright, Mr. Moon?" Ms. Crawly asked.

"Yes, yes Ms. Crawly." He said reassuringly as he climbed onto the seat. "Just a harmless trick someone played on Mike. Now then. From the top, Ash!" He called out to the porcupine as he took a seat.

Little did he know, a small thumbtack that went unnoticed by the koala layed on the seat. And it wasn't until he sat down that he suddenly leapt up from the chair.

"AH! SON OF A BI-"

-------------

After that day, Buster was expecting things to calm down. But they didn't. For the remainder of the week, he found himself falling victim to several different pranks. The pranks weren't as extreme as the thumbtack in the seat, but they were enough to annoy the koala as well as Mike and Johnny, who were also victims to these pranks.

But the strangest part about it was that they were the only ones getting pranked.

Buster had practically locked himself within his office at this point. The blinds were closed and the door was locked. He sat at his desk, trying to get some paperwork done but his mind was too focused on the prankster that made things a bit difficult during the week. That and the fact that it was dark in the room didn't help.

A sudden knock at the door snapped the koala out of his thoughts. He got up from his chair and opened the door to see Johnny and Mike. But the gorilla's face was covered in what seemed to be shaving cream, a look of annoyance in his eyes as Mike tried to hold back a laugh.

"Mr. Moon, This is getting out of hand." Johnny said bluntly.

"Let me guess. The old 'shaving cream in the hand while you're sleeping trick?'" Buster asked as he grabbed a cloth for the gorilla to wipe his face.

"You should've seen it, Moon!" Mike laughed. "I walked in right as he woke up! The look on his face was hilarious!" As the two walked into the room, Mike's attention then focused on the dark room.

"What's with the lights?"

"Sorry about that, guys." Buster said as he went to open the blinds.

Johnny finished cleaning his face and turned to the koala. "Mr. Moon, we have got to figure how who's been pulling these pranks."

"I couldn't agree more, Johnny." Buster said with a nod. "These pranks have gotten out of hand."

Mike climbed up onto the desk. "I bet you anything that it's the porcupine who's pulling these tricks." He said, an accusing tone to his voice.

Johnny shook his head. "Can't be. Ash was on stage the day you had your face drawn on."

"She could've done it before she went to rehearsal!" Mike argued.

"Still. She's been busy this entire week. When would she have the time to pull off those pranks?"

Mike opened his mouth to speak, his eyebrows furrowed as he tried to think of a explanation. "Well....i...damn it! You're right!"

Buster sat back down on his chair, quickly checking to make sure no thumbtack layed on his seat. He listened as the two went back and forth on potential suspects, lost at the thought of finding out who the prankster was.

That's when he suddenly got an idea. He sat up in his face and looked over at the two. "Guys,"

Johnny and Mike both looked at the Buster.

"I got an idea."

---------

"I don't like this, Moon." Mike said as he shook his head at the sight in front of him. His precious saxophone was carefully removed from its case by Buster and placed onto a amp that was in the center of the stage.

"I promise you, Mike. Nothing bad will happen to your saxophone." Buster said as he walked back to the two animals. "It's just to lure them out."

"And what makes you think they'll fall for it?" Mike asked with a brow raised.

"Because out of all three of us, the pranks started and have mainly been focused on you," Buster pointed out, much to Mike's displeasure.

"So we just wait here until they show up?" Johnny asked while keeping his eyes on the stage where the saxophone layed.

Buster nodded just as the backstage doors opened. Buster quickly ushered the two to hide and soon joined them after making sure the two wouldn't be seen from where they hid. As the three peeked their heads out from the back, they saw a figure of a animal walk onto the stage. The animal looked to be as tall as Johnny. It wasn't long before a second smaller animal joined them.

"We already got Mike yesterday. Why not go for someone else? Like Johnny?" The smaller animal asked.

Johnny's eyes went wide when he recognized the familiar British accent that came from the animal.

The taller animal giggled. "Aw, come on! Mike never leaves his saxophone out! This is the perfect once in a lifetime opportunity!"

"True, but-" the smaller animal suddenly stopped. "Wait. Something doesn't feel right."

"What do you mean?"

"Think about what you just said. Mike never leaves his saxophone out. And suddenly it's just here?"

"Get your grubby paws off my sax!" Mike suddenly shouted, coming out from the hiding spot and catching the attention of the two animals.

Nooshy and Porsha crystal.

"Damn it! The jig is up!" Nooshy sighed in defeat.

Johnny stepped out from the hiding spot. "Nooshy? But I thought you said you didn't do it!"

"I never said that," Nooshy stated. "I said I didn't do the marker or shoe prank. That was all Porsha."

Porsha let out a nervous chuckle as Buster gave her an unamused look.

Johnny looked baffled for a moment before looking back on that day. He remembered talking to Rosita and Buster about an upcoming show when Porsha walked in. They talked for a while and just as she got ready to leave, she had "accidentally" dropped her phone. Johnny realized she must've taken that opportunity to pull the prank. Though he was upset she did it, he couldn't help but be slightly impressed. He didn't even notice until he had tripped.

Buster sighed and looked up at Porsha and Nooshy. "You two got us good, I'll admit. But there will be consequences considering these pranks interfered with rehearsals this week." He said.

"Yeah, I know.." Porsha sighed, her ears flattened against her head.

"By the way, why did you guys only target us?" Buster asked.

"Well, at first it was just gonna be Mike." Nooshy smirked.

Mike glared up at the lynx. "Hey!"

"You had it comin'," Nooshy looked back at Johnny. "Anyways, after I got Mike the first time, Porsha found out and wanted to do a prank too. Only she suggested we prank Buster next."

"It didn't work at first cause you saw the thumbtack." Porsha chimed in.

"Which, by the way, seemed like a bit much in my opinion." Nooshy added. "And then after that, I just felt like messing with Johnny as well." She smirked.

Johnny gave her a deadpan stare for a moment before a small smile appeared on his face. "I'm gonna get ya back, you know." He said with a slight chuckle.

"I'd like to see you try." Nooshy sneered.

"So that's it then?" Mike questioned. "No one else was involved in any of this?"

"Well..." Nooshy started. "Ash did have a part to play in some the pranks involving Mike-"

"I knew it!!" Mike yelled, throwing his arms up in triumph.

Sing incorrect quotes!

Eddie: Valentine’s day is just a consumerist holiday that holds no real value other than drive people insane buying heart shaped chocolates for their significant others and pos-

Buster: I wrote you a poem.

Eddie, already crying: You did?

Christmas Headcannons🎄(Sing 2016/2022)

Rosita is the main cook when making and baking everything

One time the whole group decided to do the making and baking themselves to surprise her. The outcome was not the best. Rosita, ofcourse, appreciated the effort.

Meena's the only one allowed to cook without suppervision though.

Mike's playlist is the only Christmas playlist that is the only playlist that doesn't have one song that's impossibly out of place.

Gunters Christmas playlist is the best though, bc ofcourse it is

Nooshy put 'Never Gonna give you upon her Christmas playlist and is way too proud when she rickrolls everyone at the Christmas Party.

Speaking of Christmas Party, I feel like they'd reserve a restaurant for everyone, or all just take over someone's house everytime.

Once they had to celebrate Christmas on a plane to perform "out of this world" overseas. All I'll say is a flight had never been jollier.

Everytime they meet up for Christmas they have a group sing along to whatever Christmas song they can find.

They definitely tried to mistletoe Meena and Alfonso many times. They only succeed once and Meena will never live it down.

Eddie used to have dinners and Nana with his parents at Christmas but always ran away to have fun with the rest of the group. Nana always covers up for him bc she's the best.

Johnny is the main target for Ms. Crawly's christmas sweaters, since he's the only one who 1) can fit them and 2) doesn't have the heart to refuse her. But the sweaters are fashionable though so it's worth it

Assuming Clay first meets the piglets at Christmas time, they all think that Clay is Santa's in disguise. Clay hasn't been the most Christmasy for a while bc, yknow, a decade and a half in complete isolation from the outside world and all. But he just rolls with it bc why not and the only person who have resistance to the piglets cute little faces is Rosita.

(They eventually figure out that Clay is infact not Santa's but its fun believing it)

Porsha is surprisingly one of the best at giving gifts. No one knows how but she just is somehow.

Shes the one who gets Buster his nice red Christmas suit bc she said, and I quote "I love you with all i have but you desperately need other clothes"

They all go caroling together

Mike used to carol at christmas time for extra cash but stopped cause it really didn't do much for his bank account. He made the mistake of telling everyone and they all dragged him out to o it just for fun, much to his dismay. They ended up attracting a whole crowd in the first 30 mintes.

Every pair has ended up under the mistle toe once which mostly just ends with sweet kisses on the cheek and hugs

When the actual romantic pairs end up under, you just know it is gonna end in catastrophe

Ash and Buster do that thing where she sings and he plays the piano with everyone relaxing around them. Sometimes with enough (affectionate) peer pressure they'll do a duet.

Ms Crawly is infact the person who would give socks and scented candles as a chritmas present and it's great.

Tying back to my last comic; Buster never got that many presents as a kid, mostly bc they just didn't really ever have the money for more than one present and an outing to a resterant. He never complained ofc, tho it was a bit sad when other children whould talk about the great presents they would get and he's be like "uh, I got a pokemon shirt?". Then after his father died he's get presents from mainly Ms. Crawly, occasionally Eddie and he'd give hmself a gift that wold mostly be like a book or smth. Ofcourse with his new theater family he has like 7 presents which he is so surprised and grateful for. The theatre family when they find out all he's been getting for Christmas for years is books, coffee cups and the one watch eddie got him,they all went on a legal heist to get him everything he has ever wanted. Ofcourse he keeps the list very short so they don't work themselves out but he's so impossibly happy.

Anyways, that's all i've got. Happy 25th of december you lot :D

Now get outta here ya filthy animals (lovingly)

Why each of the New Moon Theatre crew needs therapy (fanfiction headcanons + my oc:Zotz)

Moon: PTSD (due to the events in sing 2 of him almost getting killed) and now a fear of heights

Rosita: PTSD as well, but is probably one of the ones that would actually be willing to go to therapy. She still has the fear of heights, but it’s not as bad anymore.

Gunter: I actually don’t know for Gunter? He seems to be having a huge smile most of the time, but he may have slight trauma from sing 2

Ms. Crawly: also like Gunter but now has a slight phobia to paint balls lol

Ash: like Rosita, she’s one of the only ones to actually to go therapy willingly, has slight trauma from the events from sing 2, and has recovered greatly from her break up, and is doing pretty good

Meena: Social anxiety, and has some panic attacks due to it, she gets help from her friends, family, and a therapist now to help her through it. In sing 2 she’s way better than in the first movie, but also has slight PTSD due to the events of 2

Clay Calloway: Depression, due to the death of his late wife. While also doing self-isolation to the rest of the world, now he’s getting help from the Cast and a therapist

(Now to the three I’ll like to call, “a therapist’s worst nightmare” trio)

Ryan: Imposter syndrome, due to Klaus’s ridicule, abuse, and influence towards other students and to Ryan. As well as PTSD due some things that happen in my Fanfic (*wink*wink*) and also self depricates himself (forced to go to therapy by Zotz and Johnny)

Johnny: (Woooof get ready for this) Panic attacks, self-deprication as well, depression in events in the first movie for a bit, PTSD due to events in Sing 1 & 2 as well as my Fanfic, losing sleep and eating less during sing 1. (Don’t worry, Ryan, Zotz, his dad, and the cast forced him to go to therapy)

Zotz: PTSD due to the events of Sing 2 and his past, social anxiety, not as bad as Meena but when crowded, he gets panic attacks, lets say 2x worse then Meena due to him not telling his family or friends, and being alone in a apartment for a few years. Slight hallucinations (for example dozens, sometimes hundreds of eyes watching him.) and hears voices in his head, which is rare but happens, mostly either saying silly shit or self-depricating words. (He is also now being forced to go to therapy by Ryan, Johnny, and the crew)

Sing & Sing 2 canon interspecies couples. There may be more but these are the ones that stuck out to me. Obviously there’s the strongly teased Johnny x Nooshy too but that’s not canon yet. It’d be nice if Illumination could broaden this and do more interspecies stuff *coughnottovalidatemyownshiporanythingcough*. Because if Illumination won’t even show different animals dating then there’s no hope for any LGBT stuff imo and I need lesbian Porsha in my life.


Also it’s just an interesting dynamic to explore and I headcanon that interspecies relationships are still kinda frowned upon and not really socially accepted among middle/upper class and that’s basically half of my fanfic.
Honestly Ms. Crawly single-handedly fuels my bird/mammal ship, what with her being a reptile and dating some mammals too. What a star.

!! CHARACTER ANALYSIS TIME!! Fair warning that I'm just gonna be going off my ramblings off of last night and the structure of this may be bad but I unfortunately don't have time to organize everything (I have homework) so here y'all go! Also remember, this is only my interpretation, and everyone is entitled to their own opinions. Oh yeah also huge spoiler warning!!! [1398 words] ---------------------------- Ok so basically the way I view things, Clay Calloway is first show with like super high walls up. He shows no mercy to Ms. Crawly when she trespasses. He doesn't let down these walls until he sees these high walls hurt people in front of him (Ash and Buster Moon quite literally being hurt by his walls via electrocution). His walls can be seen being lowered when he takes them in. Not all the way down, but lowered. Now the reason behind these high walls, which is also his entire internal conflict, is the loss of his wife, Ruby. Clay Calloway's answer to the loss is denial. He hides away in his house away from everyone and everything. This includes his own music, something he loves doing, because Ruby was his muse and his songs remind him of her. (Ash states that no one has seen Calloway in 15 years after his wife died. Calloway says he hasn't even listened to one of his songs in 15 years. He also says he hasn't left his house in 15 years Obvious connection there). I believe his walls are finally let down fully when Ash sings on the porch. Now, here's where I will state that I will be using songs in my discussion of his character. When Ash sings to Calloway on his porch, he's being forced to listen to one of his songs for the first time in 15 years. This is a huge reminder of Ruby. We can see this is when Calloway deicides to stop bottling up his emotions and let his walls down because of him walking closer to the music instead of straying away from it. I would also like to state the significance of the specific song chose "Stuck In A Moment You Can't Get Out Of" [x] Clay Calloway is "stuck in a moment he can't get out of." He's stuck in the idea of Ruby being gone and he can't get out of it. Just food for thought. Anyways the reason he decides to go back and play for the show is because this is the scene where he decides to try music again, something he loves but has hid away from. He's decide to finally acknowledge his emotions and wants to move forward. He even nods to Ash to keep singing when she stops after seeing him. And what better way to play music again than infront of a crowd and everything ready for ya? We can see his character develop even more when he first get's to Redshore City. Basically, the show is off and Crystal's trying to kill. And now here's where my favorite part of the movie comes in. ------------------------ Moon: We'll all feel better when we're safe at home. Calloway: You sure about that? 'Cause I can tell you running and hiding away is not all that it's cracked up to be. Moon: Well, we don't have a choice. Calloway: Yeah, well, all these years, I thought the same, but turns out there's always a choice. Just never ahd the guts to make the roght one. Know what I mean? ------------------------ Calloway has grown to realize that running and hiding away from your fears is not the solution (we love character development). Because of this, Moon is convinced that no, he will not just run away from his dreams. "No. I see, Clay's right. What we're trying to do here, it takes guts." (this is also a fun callback to the speech Nana gave Moon at the beginning of the movie). Moving on to showtime. When it's time to play, Calloway is worried because 1. he hasn't played any of his songs in 15 years, and 2. of course he's still gonna be struggling with the idea of Ruby. No one get's over anything just like that. When he sees Ash got out by herself, Calloway is convinced to join him. Actually, this is foreshadowed in the beginning of the movie, too, when Gunter states "And then I'm thinking, Ash, you know, she can like, totally have a duet with Clay Calloway cause, like, she's a star that is, like, guiding them all the way back home again" (More on this quote later btw, though probably not in this post)Anyways, the reason Calloway is convinced to join Ash in the end because he see's Ash playing only by herself, and it reminds of of how he felt when he first lost Ruby. Although Ash's experience here is way different than Clay's, he can still relate the experience with the pain he felt. Going back a bit (because I'm watching the end of the movie while writing this part), during the part where Alfonso and Meena sing together, when Alfonso says "I think of us, dear", literally it cuts to Clay Calloway unlocking his guitar and letting out a deep sigh. Heavily talking about how he still hasn't got over Ruby at this point and is still thinking about her, but is trying his best. Okay back to looking at my ramble from last night. Right before Clay Calloway goes out, we can see Ruby show up (kinda like a ghost or somethin'). I kinda interpret that as like her being like "Haha yes Clay Calloway, go play on stage. This is what I would want for you." He does eventually go out and play with Ash, finally playing music again instead of hiding away from it. In terms of actually contributing to the show, he doesn't do all that much. However that's not the point. The main resolution of his story is how he learns to cope and move past his loss of Ruby. ------------------------ Okay song analysis time. So the song he sings on stage with Ash, "I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For," [x] took me an actual while to realize the meaning of the song since I only looked at the lyrics exclusively. According to [NPR.org, here's a conversation between Bono and his producer. "And we say, 'Paul, we're done. We actually want to do something useful with our life, and maybe rock and rock isn't it,' "Bono recounted. "And he's like, 'Oh, so God tells you to do this?' And we said, 'No, not exactly, but it's very deeply convicted here.' So you mean to tell me that Bono, the creator of the song and the voice actor of Clay Calloway, wanted to quit rock and roll not because God told him, but still because of something related to God? Man, this is kinda like how Clay Calloway wanted to quit music because of Ruby's death, even though Ruby would not want that for him. Bono did not quit in the end either by the way, and went on to create "I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For" (If I'm correct about the history). For the next segment, I need to emphasize that I do not ship Ash x Clay Calloway and it makes me uncomfortable. Onto the lyrics, the song has a strong emphasis on being with "you". We can simply just interpret this as Calloway wanting to be with Ruby. Actually, we can also see this as Ash wanting to be with Clay. In verse one, she literally sings "I have climbed the highest mountains / I have run through the fields / Only to be with you." She did go out of her way to get to Clay Calloway and get him to be with her on the show. Moving onto verse 2, where Calloway decides to join in on the duet, he sings "You broke the bonds and loosed the chains / Carried the cross of my shame." This kinda like a response and thank you to Ash for helping him get back to music. She literally loosed his chains. She was the reason why Clay was finally able to cope in a good way and listen to music a good way. Onto the final song, "Your Song Saved My life" [x], which funfact U2 actually made for the movie (so of course it's gonna have to be important). I'm just gonna copy and paste from a previous post I made on this: Ash saved Calloway from a life of seclusion and never getting over Ruby (I believe he still mourns her, but now he’s able to see life outside of just negativity and fear). ------------------------ That concludes the end of my ramble from last night, however there are some more things I can talk about. Maybe I will post about it later, I don't know. td;lr Calloway's plot consists of him learning to stop hiding away from his emotions and he learns to move past the death of his wife, Ruby.

FINALLY got around to watch Sing 2, and I have opinions!

So... uhm... spoilers for a movie released 2 years ago.

First of all, I kinda hate that 99% of all fan art portrays Johnny and Ryan as super muscle bound guys, like I sort of get it for Johnny, who *is* very top heavy (Although he looks more generally big than muscular) but Ryan is at most a twunk.

That being said...

Buster Moon is the villain of both movies, especially in this one.

I'm glad that the mouse from the first movie isn't even mentioned in here. He totally got eaten by the bears and no one can convince me otherwise.

I love the bit of nuance they added to Porsha (Why not "Portia"???). We are introduced to her as a spoiled, vain, self-centered, air headed daddy's girl, and while that's all true, I do love how she is just confused when Ms. Crawley goes all Drill Sergeant Nasty on her, with the implication that she doesn't complain about it, she doesn't even comments it to Buster when he returns. And is Ms. Crawley go goes to recruit her when they want to do the show anyways. And she complies, despite crying and being destroyed about being "fired" and her dad harsh words. Is a sad kind of realization, but Ms. Crawly is probably the closest that Porsha has had to a parent figure that actually cares about her becoming better.

This one gets across the same idea in Sing 2 where Porsha steals Rosita's part but it's a lot more complicated than that if you understand the implications of casting Norman as Efrain.

Sing(My Version) Rewrite Chapter 1:

*Hey guys, I'm back with the first chapter of my rewrite of my version of Sing! Yay! This is published on December 18, 2023. If you guys like this first chapter, don't forget to reblog, heart it, and comment! That would be greatly appreciated. I wrote my own songs for this new chapter, so I'm sorry in advance if the song-writing sucks. If I practice more, I'll get better at it. For now, I hope you guys enjoy it!*

The stage was lit up by purple and blue colors.

Today was the day the world will look upon the greatest show in the history of animal kind.

“Here is where it all started,” a voice boomed from the stage. The koala in a tight blue suit emerged from the curtains with a headset attached to the side of his face and a microphone in front of his lips. The curtain parted, revealing a black sheep on stage dressed in sparkly lavender dress standing on top of a cut-out of a hill. She was a statue singing to the moon.

The koala continued, “Here is where an ordinary little guy fell in love with the theater.”

The curtain closed after he said that.

“Everything about it. From the sounds—”

The little saxophone played a couple of notes in the background.

“—the lighting—”

The stage lit up in all different colors.

“—to even the smell of lavender—”

The stage curtains parted and the purple dust flowed out from the darkness. The lights came on with silhouettes of a young koala peering over the edge of the balcony with the adult koala holding him.

“He was only six years old at the time and his dream to become the first marsupial in space were…replaced,” the koala replied.

The light flickered to show the next slide of the silhouettes of the koala, now an adult, standing in front of the red ribbon with his father beside him and a cheering crowd in front of them.

“Some folks may have said that he grew up to become the greatest showman.”

The silhouettes changed with a flicker of the light with the audience praising the koala while holding awards.

“Some folks called him a visionary.”

The silhouettes changed again under the flicker of the light and revealed the audience screaming at the koala angrily, throwing tomatoes at him.

“Some called him insane.”

The koala became more centered on stage, taking the attention away from the silhouettes. “But I believe wonder and magic don’t come easy. And, oh, there will never be a doubt where the name Buster Moon will go down in entertainment history. I should know because I’m Buster Moon!”

The imaginary cheering from the audience was replaced by the creaking noises of the theater. The colorful lights were only imaginary lights replaced by the pale sunlight shining through the ceiling drafts.

The red curtains that were on stage never moved an inch and Buster Moon, the koala in the tight blue suit, stood in front of the empty stage and faced the empty red seats all throughout the rows and the balconies.

Buster realized that he didn't have the headset and the microphone on and he was giving an imaginary performance in front of the invisible audience members. He sighed deeply. “Great exercise for the day, Moon.”

“Are you talking to your invisible audience again, Mr. Moon?” A sweet voice rang from the side.

Buster turned his head and noticed the antelope assistant secretary approaching him named Mizuki. She had a blue notepad in her hooves with the pen.

“Ah, Mizuki, you’re here early,” Buster replied with a bright smile.

“Bright and early,” Mizuki claimed eagerly.

“That’s what I like to hear,” he responded with a grin and hurried over by her side. “Alright, fill me in. What’s on the agenda today?”

They started to walk to the stage and up the steps towards his office.

“Well, you have an appointment with the bank at three o’clock this afternoon,” she responded.

He nodded his head with a ‘Mhm’.

“And you have the stage crew from your last show wanting their paychecks since the ones you gave them bounced,” she added.

He clenched his teeth. “Ooh, yeah. I really need to find the money to pay them. It’s not fair to hold them out for this long—”

They heard banging noises as they entered the hallway to get to Buster’s office. Their eyes widened when they noticed that there was a crowd of animals noticing them with angry looks on their faces.

“I mean to tell you that they’re already here,” Mizuki whispered to Buster.

Buster awkwardly wave at them with a nervous smile. “Hey guys…”

He immediately took Mizuki by the hoof and led her back downstairs and towards the backstage.

“GET BACK HERE, MOON!!!”

“How long have they been here?” Buster whispered to Mizuki harshly. “Please don’t tell me that they’ve come in while I was talking to myself.”

“Uh…no. They got here before you did,” she whispered back.

“Oh geez…Did you think they heard me?”

“Uh…they would’ve already been on stage to strangle you if they had.”

“Good point.”

“MOON, GIVE US OUR PAYCHECKS!!!”

“Uh! There’s some technical difficulties! I’ll fix it later!” Buster looked back to see the angry stage crew chasing after them.

“Pay us now!” the chimp demanded angrily.

“Again! Technical difficulties! What part of technical difficulties did you not hear?!” Buster shouted at the stage crew.

Buster and Mizuki approached the half crescent moon cut-out and the koala pulled the lever. He hopped on it while pulling Mizuki up on it with him. The moon raised them up away from the angry crew.

“THIS ISN’T OVER MOON!”

Buster sighed in relief while Mizuki was holding onto the moon cut-out for dear life. They hopped off of the cut-out and balanced themselves across the planks, careful to not fall.

“Anything else I need to know before going into my office?” Buster asked in a peppy voice.

“Ms. Crawly is getting your coffee.”

“Ah, that’s one good news,” he said with a calmer tone. They approached the wall that had a hole in it in front of the other wall. Only except, it wasn’t the other wall. Buster removed it so easily and squeezed through the hole to approach his office.

“I didn’t know you have a secret passageway to your office,” Mizuki gasped in shock while crawling through.

Buster held the framed poster up and waited till Mizuki was all the way through to align it right. “Yeah. You never know when you’re going to need it.”

Mizuki sat on the couch with small giggle. “Oh! I almost forgot you also have lunch with Eddie Noodleman at Les Calamars around noon.”

He froze and twitched his ears. “Uh…I didn’t schedule that—”

“Really? Ms. Crawly put it down on the notes,” Mizuki said while looking at the notes.

Buster sighed. “That crazy lizard.”

On cue, Ms. Crawly, the iguana with her glass eye out of place, entered the office with a smile. “Good morning, Mr. Moon.”

“Ah, speak of the devil. Good morning to you too, Ms. Crawly. What a lovely morning, isn’t it?” Buster responded while running up to his office chair.

Ms. Crawly placed the white coffee cup on his wooden desk. “It is. It is. I brought you some coffee.”

Buster noticed it empty. “Really?” he showed the empty coffee cup with confusion in his face. “Where is it?”

“Oh dear, I must have drank it on the way up those stairs,” Ms. Crawly uttered. Before she could walk away, Buster sat on the edge of the desk while holding the empty coffee cup.

“You scheduled me with Eddie today?” Buster questioned.

“Oh yes, Eddie called you several times throughout the week. Eddie called me and asked if he could talk to you. Well, you weren’t available at the moment yesterday since…you were doing something else on stage, so I told him that I can put you down to spend some time with him,” Ms. Crawly responded with a smile.

“You didn’t have to do that,” Buster responded, faking a smile. “Wait, how much does it cost? I would—”

“Oh, don’t worry, Eddie covered it,” Ms. Crawly responded.

“Oh, he shouldn’t have to do that—”

“He insisted, Mr. Moon. Strongly insisted.”

Buster sighed. “Of course.”

“I suggest you go out to eat with him. He can help out with the theater situation.”

“No, this is something I oughta do on my own…if I involve him…well, I don’t know. It might be too much of a burden for him to help me out.”

“Oh, Mr. Moon, you can’t assume that. You and Eddie have been friends since college.”

“Eddie Noodleman…as in…wait, is he the grandson of Nana Noodleman?” Mizuki asked Ms. Crawly.

Ms. Crawly nodded her head. “Why yes. They’re the richest family in Bell City.”

Mizuki brightly smiled. “That is a great opportunity to ask for help!”

Buster shook his head. “I’ve already wasted the bank’s loans by making mediocre productions. I wouldn’t have the appointment with the bank if I hadn’t. If we make another mediocre production, I would’ve ended up wasting the funds from Eddie’s family.”

Mizuki frowned at Buster’s words.

“Fine, I’ll go out and have lunch with him, but I’ll strongly decline his help with the payments,” Buster responded with a positive smile. “Don’t worry, I’ll figure something out. I always do.”

“You better hurry. It’s almost noon,” Ms. Crawly alerted Buster of the time.

“Already?!” Buster shrieked. “Great, my day has only just started.”

Buster got up from his seat and placed his coffee cup down on the desk. “Welp, ladies, I’m taking off!” He hurried towards the poster before forgetting something. He went back and grabbed two metal lunch boxes. “Just in case.”

Buster moved the framed poster out of the way and entered through the hole in the wall.

Ms. Crawly and Mizuki watched the poster swing close as Mizuki straightened it.

“I don’t think the restaurant will let Mr. Moon take the lunch boxes in,” Ms. Crawly whispered to Mizuki.

“Should we tell him?”

Ms. Crawly shrugged. “I think he knows. Want to help me with filing?”

“Sure!” Mizuki responded excitedly and both of the ladies went over to Ms. Crawly’s desk next to Buster’s office. 

~.~

Buster brought his red bike out of the theater and scrolled through his phone to find out that he did miss a lot of calls from Eddie. The koala let out a sigh and scrolled through his music app called Songify. He took out his earbuds from his pocket and untangled the wire as quickly as he could. He plugged the wire into his phone and placed the earplugs into his round ears. Turning up the music, he got onto his bike and pedaled down the streets of Bell City.

The music begin to play, but it seems to be a record scratching at first until the choir sang majestically like angels from the Heavens and echoed into the koala’s eardrums. The buildings turned into cardboard settings in Buster’s mind with the lights lit up from the voices of the choir. The world itself became a stage and Buster was part of it.

“Heey!!”

The music stopped and a deep tenor voice croon.

“Ladies and Gentlemen

Welcome to the show.”

The choir sang with all of their hearts, appearing on the sidewalks Buster was riding by.

“Heey!!”

The koala stepped out into the scene on the curb of the intersection with the white top-hat and suit, with a small stick that had the crystal under his paw.

“Sit back and relax.

This is only the beginning.”

The choir appeared behind the koala, with different animals wearing white robes. The citizens around them ignored the singing choir and koala, their focus on their phones.

“Heey!!”

The koala sang beautifully while the music started to pick up in the middle of his verse.

“Watch and be dazzled

Ignore the misery you carried.

Let it take your breath away.

Trap you in a fantasy land.

Leave behind the burdens of reality!”

The koala started to lead to a dance, letting the choir behind him dance with him. The animal citizens shifted their attention away from their phones to find them dancing. They all started to follow Buster, dancing behind him without him being aware.

“Don’t resist it, you know you want it.

Fly your colors in the sky.

Who cares what comes next?

The crowd cheers for you.

Can’t you hear it coming closer?

Don’t resist it, let it take over.”

The pig with gold sparkling jacket and sweatpants drummed on the trashcans Buster was pedaling by. The notes of the music had gotten intense with the koala’s voice going higher.

“Your heart burns in your chest.

Let your big dreams lead you.

March to the beat of the drums.

Break through your walls,

Holding you back from your potential.

Tell me, don’t you want to take a leap of faith?”

The beat dropped while the animals, including the citizens, dance to the unnamed choreography together. The sky lit up from the sun glowing brighter. The music intensified when the chorus hit.

“Where we are covered in gold,

Where gangs become family,

Big dreams come true!

Anything is possible!

Oh, let your heart sing!”

Buster took a turn to the right into another street and entered a huge park full of green grass and trees, being followed by the dancing citizens.

“Lift your voices, don’t let it drown!

And the world can’t stop you!

Make these come true!

Anything is possible!

Oh, let your heart sing!”

The choir sang angelically as Buster rode down the stairs in the middle of the city park.

“Heey!!”

The koala kept singing his heart out while dancing on the stairs.

“The new age will rise.

The new generation is born.”

The choir danced on the steps with the koala.

“Heey!!”

The koala reached to the bottom of the steps with a little hop.

“Where the outcasts become performers

And we give them a round of applause.”

The choir sang louder and the music had gotten more intense.

The koala brightly smiled and followed Buster onto another street, ushering more animals to dance with him.

“Don’t resist it, you know you want it.

Let it shine through the streets.

Fly your colors in the sky.

Who cares what comes next?

Break through your walls

Holding you back from your potential.

Take the leap of faith.”

The beat dropped while every animal dance in the street behind Buster without Buster being aware of them dancing.

“Where we are covered in gold,

Where gangs become family,

Big dreams come true!

Anything is possible!

Oh, let your heart sing!

Lift your voices, don’t let it drown!

And the world can’t stop you!

Make these come true!

Anything is possible!

Oh, let your heart sing!”

They reached to the end of the song while the lead koala singer and the choir gave it their all. The lights flickered up in the sky and the fireworks exploded behind them.

“Oh, let your heart sing!

Oh, let your heart sing!

Oh, let your heart sing!

Oh, let your heart sing!”

The number ended with Buster taking out his earplugs as soon as he arrived at the fancy restaurant called Les Calamars. He looked at the time on his watch to realize that it was broken. He looked at the time on his phone to realize that he was a few minutes late.

Buster turned around to find that there were no dancing animals or singers behind him. He sighed and secured his bike on the railing.

~.~

Buster opened the doors to Les Calamars and looked through the animals dining.

He spotted a sheep with white wool on top of his head like an afro on his phone with a red rubber jacket and a yellow and white striped shirt underneath. He laid back against the chair with the orange shorts pulled up to his lower back. The sheep wore a red bead necklace Buster gave him when they met in high school. That was how Buster could tell it was Eddie.

Eddie noticed Buster from the corner of his eyes and turned his head to look at the koala. The sheep smiled and waved his hoof.

Buster grinned sheepishly and blushed. He walked across the restaurant and hopped up on the chair across from Eddie.

“Look who shows up. I almost thought that you might cancel on me again,” Eddie said with a teasing smile.

“Sorry about last time. I, uh, got busy…”

Eddie tilted his head. “Did another show flop again?”

Buster faked a smile. “What?! No, no—”

Eddie arched a brow, not convinced by Buster’s lie.

The koala sighed heavily. “Sort of.”

“How much do you have to pay back in loans? I can get my parents to help you pay it back so that you can keep the theater.”

“No, no, it’s fine. I’ll handle it.”

“How are you going to get more money? Rob a bank?”

Buster scratched his chin. “Hmm.”

“Don’t you even think about it, Buster.”

“You’re the one who put the idea in.”

Eddie rolled his eyes playfully. “I’m telling you, my parents are loaded. It’ll be a one time thing if you’re more comfortable with that.”

“Eddie, please, I know you’re trying to help me, but you don’t need to.”

“Come on, man. The bank is going to try to repossess the theater. How are you going to have money magically appear in your pocket to pay back the loans you’ve borrowed?”

Buster frowned and looked away.

Eddie laid back with a sigh. “All I’m saying is, I want to help you in any way I can. If you won’t allow me to…I’ll accept that. But know that I’m here when you need me, okay? I always got your back no matter what.”

The koala smiled softly. “Of course.”

The pig waitress came by their table. “Hello, my name is Rosita and I’ll be taking your orders. Would you like to order anything?”

“Oh, um, uh…I won’t get anything—”

“Don’t worry, I got it covered,” Eddie reassured Buster.

“Eddie—”

“You’re not starving on my watch.” Eddie shifted his attention to the pig waitress. “Could I get a shrimp salad with ranch please? And whatever he has.”

Rosita, the pig waitress, wrote down the order and waited for Buster to order something.

Buster blinked in shock and looked at the menu. “Um…could I get, um…uh…tuna sandwiches with eucalypt tea on the side?”

She nodded her head with a small friendly smile. “Of course, I’ll get those right away. Let me take these menus.” She picked the menus up from the boys. She hurried away with the menus in her hooves.

Eddie smiled at his friend.

“You sure you got it covered? Maybe I should take back my order—”

“Hey, it’s fine. I got you,” Eddie responded.

Buster sighed and rested his head on his paw.

Eddie frowned and changed the subject. “Soo, how is the new secretary assistant? I heard she’s helping Ms. Crawly with things.”

“Yeah, Ms. Crawly was getting too old to keep track of things. Mizuki was willing to help, so I hired her.”

“Oh, so that’s her name.”

“Yep,” Buster answered with a little blush.

“Um…are you having a—?”

“No, she has a boyfriend.”

Eddie blinked and smirked. “How do you know I was going to ask that?”

“Because I know you, Eddie.”

Eddie rolled his eyes playfully with a humorless chuckle. “Har Har. Come on, you were a looker in college.”

Buster’s shoulders tensed up a bit.

“I see you get girls and guys crushing on you. And you don’t even notice them.”

“I was studying during college.”

“I know.”

Buster rolled his eyes. “I don’t have a crush on Mizuki. It’s unprofessional to even pursue that anyway.”

“Oh, I understand that completely,” Eddie responded. “Just saying though. You blushed when you mentioned her.”

The koala shook his head. “Let’s just skip the subject.”

“Alright. Alright. Um, what’s your next big idea? Whatever you got, you gotta bring the house down…or should I say bring it up from financial debt?”

“I—I don’t know, Eddie. Nobody wants to see any of the musicals and I haven’t done the best. I couldn’t even pay my last stage crew. I gotta think of something big and eye-catching. Something that will wow the world.”

They heard humming noises and looked to see the waitress, Rosita, coming in with their orders while singing soothingly,

“Oh, my darling, my darling, my darling sunshine.

You shine brighter than the sun and the moon combine.

Can’t you, can’t you, can’t you, can’t you see?

I’m blinded by the way you smile at me.”

Buster seemed captivated by her voice, tilting his head to listen more. Rosita put their orders on the table while singing quietly,

“Oh, I want to...

Dance with you, dance with you, dance with you, oh-oh.

Twirl you into my arms and sweep you off of your feet.

I want you to dance with me, dance with me, dance with me, yeah.

Don’t ever let me go, my sunshine.”

“You have a pretty voice,” Buster blurted out the compliment.

Rosita immediately stopped singing and blushed in embarrassment. “Oh, um, thanks. Sorry about that. If you guys need anything else, let me know.”

“You got it,” Eddie responded.

When Rosita walked away, Eddie noticed Buster picking at his food. “Uh-oh.”

“What?”

“I see the gears in your head turning,” Eddie pointed out.

“Eh, it’s nothing,” Buster said, taking a bite of his tuna sandwich. “Wow, I forgot how much I miss sandwiches.”

“Have you been eating?”

Buster swallowed and giggled nervously. “Of course I have. Three times a day.”

Eddie noticed Buster had been lightweight and sighed in discouragement. “Buster…”

“Okay, not as much as I should, but hey, I’m eating now. It counts for something.”

Eddie smirked a bit. “I should just take you out for lunch every day, huh?”

“No need for that. I don’t want to drain your money.”

“Dude, you’re not draining anything. I’d be happy to help you if you need it,” Eddie responded with a small smile. “You’re my friend. I want to help you in anyway I can. But you do need to take better care of yourself.”

“Don’t worry, Eddie. I’ll be just fine,” Buster responded with a smile, eating his sandwich.

“Suit yourself,” Eddie said with a sigh.

“So, what’s new with you?” Buster asked with a bright smile.

“Uh…well, I got myself a fitness partner,” Eddie responded.

“Wow, that’s great!”

“Well…not really when he wakes you up early in the morning playing Cascada on his phone,” Eddie replied with a sheepish smile.

Buster giggled nervously. “Well, I’m sure he’s a fun fellow to work out with.”

“Fun and energetic.”

“See? Exactly what you need.”

Eddie rolled his eyes playfully again. “Whatever, man.”

Buster chuckled as their lunch continued on and their conversations got more relaxed. 

~.~

The lunch went better than expected.

Buster was full from all the sandwiches and sleepy from the tea while he walked out of the restaurant with Eddie. “You know, I should be getting back to the theater. Who knows what needs to be done?”

“Alright, alright. Just don’t overwork yourself,” Eddie responded.

“I’ll be fine. Absolutely fine. Have fun with your new fitness partner,” Buster teased the sheep.

“Yeah, yeah.”

Buster chuckled while walking down the sidewalk, untying his bike, and rode off with it while Eddie was watching him.

Eddie heard his phone ringing and picked it up to talk into it. “Hello…oh, hey, Gunter….Yeah, I just got out of lunch with a friend….Yeah, yeah, I’ll make it to the gym. Okay, I’ll see you soon.”

Buster overheard the conversation as he was leaving his friend and chuckled. He turned back to ride his bike through the city, taking his phone out with his headphones. He searched through his Songify playlist until he heard an angelic male voice.

“Hey-ey-ey.

Ooh, ooh, ooh.

Hey-ey-ey.

Ooh, ooh, ooh.”

Buster twitched his ears and squeezed the brakes of his bike to jerk to a stop to hear the angelic voice. Part of him wondered if he was dead or what. He pedaled his bike to follow the hums from a stranger, cutting through alleyways until he finally got into the alleyway where the voice was coming from. The voice was coming from the young adult gorilla in a black leather jacket, leaning against the building. His black fur spiked up like his hairstyle, his thumbs in his pockets.

Buster arched a brow and stopped closer to the gorilla to hear more of his voice.

“Don’t know what to say.

I’m keeping in tabs.

Might get caught in the act.

Don’t worry about me.”

Buster got off of his bike and leaned it against the wall to move around the gorilla, who was not paying attention to his surroundings.

“I give anything to make you proud.

But I’m such a mess.

I give anything to make you smile.

But I’m such a mess.”

“Wow—”

The gorilla gasped and whirled around. “Bloody Mary.”

“Sorry to give ya a scare,” Buster responded. “But can I say that you have a beautiful voice?”

The mountain gorilla smiled a bit nervously. “Uh, thanks.” He looked around with his shoulders tensed.

Buster realized of how he approached the young gorilla. “Oh, uh, sorry. That’s a weird way to approach someone.”

“No, no, you’re fine. But, um, I’m in a bit…uh, well—in a busy situation.”

“Oh, yeah, yeah. Don’t worry about it, kid. Oh, I heard that there’s a talent show downtown if you ever want to take a shot at singing,” Buster replied. As soon as Buster said that, he stopped himself. “Wait…wait! This just gave me an idea!”

“What—?”

“Thank you so much! What’s your name?”

“Uh…Johnny?”

“Thanks for the inspiration, Johnny!” Buster shouted with a bright smile on his face before running off to get his bike and riding off away from the gorilla.

Johnny blinked in question. “…What?” The gorilla heard a crackle and noticed two cops, one rhino and one tiger, walking down the sidewalk. He hid against the wall, watching the cops walking by without paying attention. He waited until they’re an earshot away and got out his walkie-talkie.

“Guys, the cops are right nearby. Stay where you are—,” Johnny whispered to the walkie-talkie.

Interrupting Johnny’s instruction, the glass broke above Johnny and the three gorillas with small bunny masks that only cover the top part of their faces landed on the ground with the larger gorilla carrying the safe full of money.

The cops that just walked by hurried back to the alleyway.

“Hey!” The tiger cop growled while putting his gun up.

The larger gorilla huffed and nodded to his pack to get the truck.

One of the large gorilla rushed to the black pick-up truck parked on the other side of the alleyway and drove through the alleyway. The leader and the other gorilla hopped onto the pick-up while the cops fired the bullets until the truck reached to them. They jumped out of the way as Johnny grabbed the leader’s hand and was pulled into the pick-up.

“Johnny, you were supposed to be on look-out!” the leader shouted.

“I-I’m sorry, Dad,” Johnny stuttered.

“And where’s your mask?!” his father shouted.

Johnny pulled down bunny mask to cover the top half of his face.

His father looked to the get-away driver. “Faster, Barry!”

Barry, the get-away driver, stepped on the gas, unaware they were speeding past Buster before he could cross the street to get to his theater.

Buster saw the black truck and the police cars driving through the crosswalk in a flash, causing him to gasp and jerked his bike to a sudden stop. He breathed heavily as a sudden flash of someone getting hit by a semi-truck flashed in his mind. For a moment, he was breathing heavily from almost being hit until the sounds of sirens faded. He snapped out of the sudden memory, trying to think of the inspiring idea he got from this fellow named Johnny.

He looked both ways before crossing the street and made it back to the theater.

~.~

Mizuki was getting filing done with Ms. Crawly until her ears twitched to hear footsteps approaching closer to her. Before she could turn around, she saw hooves covering her eyes.

“Guess who?” A familiar deep male voice asked.

Mizuki sighed playfully. “Hmm, if I were to have to guess, um, it’s Justin Fiber.”

“Ha, you wish.”

The hooves uncovered her eyes as Mizuki turned around to see her antelope boyfriend, Babeesh.

“Babe!” Mizuki chirped and stood up, kissing his lips.

“How’s my little secretary doin’ in this depressing piece of crap?” Babeesh questioned, wrapping his arm around her waist possessively.

Ms. Crawly ignored Babeesh while getting some more filing done.

“We just got filing done,” Mizuki replied to her boyfriend. “And it’s not a piece of crap, babe. It just needs some renovating and we should be solid.”

“If your boss can focus on getting the money instead of hitting on you,” Babeesh grumbled.

“Mr. Moon is not hitting on me. He has never expressed interest in me,” Mizuki responded with her arms crossed.

On cue, Buster swung open the door to the secretary office. “Mizuki, Ms. Crawly, I got an idea that might be able to revive the theater!” Buster noticed Babeesh. “Oh, hey, Babeesh. How are you?”

Babeesh glared at Buster.

“I’ll take that as you’re doing good,” Buster replied and shifted his glance at Mizuki and Ms. Crawly. “Anyway! I have an idea that can revolutionize the theater! It’s going to be spectacular! Fantastic! And may I say breath-taking!”

“That’s what you say on all of your past shows before they flop,” Babeesh growled at the koala.

“Right. But this one is different than any musical I’ve put out before. If we’re lucky, we can make big bucks from this—”

“Again, you’ve said that last time with all of your shows—”

“Babeesh,” Mizuki scolded her boyfriend.

“What’s your idea, Mr. Moon?” Ms. Crawly asked.

Buster ran towards Ms. Crawly’s desk and hopped on it, turning to face Mizuki and Babeesh with a positive smile. “Drum roll please!”

Ms. Crawly did the drum roll on her desk while Buster did it by tapping his feet on the wood.

“A talent show!” Buster announced.

Babeesh quirked a brow. “A talent show?”

Buster nodded his head. “Yes. I’ve passed by two animals who have amazing singing talents and let me tell ya, they are amazing. We don’t have that many talent shows except from clubs. Why not take advantage of it and make it bigger?! People can join in and use whatever talents they have! Most of it might be singing though so…what do you think?!”

“Oh, Mr. Moon, that’s a wonderful idea,” Ms. Crawly responded.

“It sounds like a good idea…but how are we going to do it without the money? Like they have to be motivated to show up to the auditions?” Mizuki asked.

“We’ll figure that out later!” Buster determined.

“How about you figure out now before your precious show flops again?” Babeesh growled, irritated by Buster’s optimism.

“Babeesh,” Mizuki uttered.

Babeesh rolled his eyes. “Have fun in your crappy work environment.” With that said, he walked away from her.

She sighed sadly.

Buster watched Babeesh exiting the secretary office and looked at Mizuki. “Why is he always this grumpy?”

“It’s nothing to be concerned with,” Mizuki reassured Buster.

“Oh, okay, anyway, once the talent show struck gold, I might be able to pay back the loans to the bank. I just have to tell the bank about it,” Buster responded. “Hopefully, we’ll figure something out.”

Mizuki smiled a bit. “Yeah, hopefully.”

The police had been searching for the black pick-up truck for hours. They searched around the Bell City for the gorilla gang. Unbeknownst to them, the gang had been hiding in the garage called Dexter’s Shop. The garage was up against the tree so that the gorillas could climb on it and sleep in.

Johnny closed the garage in the early evening, hiding the black pick-up truck from the eyes of civilians and cops alike. With a sigh, he took off his bunny mask and tossed it aside.

“Great job, everybody! Let’s keep this up and we might get this shop back and running!” the lead gorilla, Johnny’s father, announced. “Oi, Johnny, a word.”

His father wrapped his arms around Johnny’s broad shoulders.

“Yeah?” Johnny asked as he was being guided to the hallway out of earshot from the other gorillas.

“Look, Johnny. I know you got of a lot things on your mind,” his father replied. “But…I need you to take part of this gang, son. Someday, all of this, the shop, the heists, the gang, will all be yours. You need to know how to lead the gang. Think of this as if you’re going to be a king someday. All of this is going to be yours. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. I’m not going to be here someday.”

“I know. I know,” Johnny replied with a frown.

“Well, sometimes I can’t tell if you know that or not,” his father replied.

There was a brief pause.

His father patted on Johnny’s shoulder. “Keep your chin up, son. Your old man ain’t gonna be gone that soon. I still got some fight left within me. But I want you to know that you need to think about your future sooner than later. Just sleep on it, okay?”

Johnny nodded his head in understanding.

“Good. Get some sleep. Tomorrow is gonna be a new day,” his father replied positively while going to the other gorillas to talk with them.

Johnny climbed up his tree further away from the gorillas, entering his own room. He had posters of a yak with red hair covering his face known as Elton Jock, singing his heart out. He also had news clippings of his mother singing at a karaoke club. His clothes were scattered across the room. Johnny shut the door and took off his leather jacket, revealing a green shirt with a yellow lightning bolt in the middle. He collapsed on the bed with a tired sigh.

“What a day,” Johnny said to himself.

The gorilla stared up at the ceiling, getting out his phone and put on headphones. He listened to the soft melody that reminded him of a song he used to listen to when he was little.

He hummed a little and tapped his fingers on the round bed. Johnny closed his eyes to fall asleep to the music. The memories of his mother played in his head like an old tape-recorder. He could remember her smile as she was watching him walk to her for the first time as a toddler. Perched on her back, he remembered being carried around by his mother and watched her cook in front of him and his father. Where did it all go wrong?

Johnny opened his eyes with a sigh. He sat up from the bed and turned off his music, pulling his headphones out of his ears. Johnny turned over to the drawer next to his bed and pulled it out to reveal the VHS tape he had kept for a while. He took the VHS tape and inserted into the VHS player.

He turned the television on and watched to see the video of himself of when he’s a toddler, burying his father on the sand of the coast of Bell City except for his head and his hands.

“Oh no! Marcus, can you get out of the sand?” a woman’s voice asked in concern, assuming to be Johnny’s mother holding the camera.

“Ha! Watch me!” Marcus, Johnny’s father, replied playfully. He played dead, fooling little Johnny to approach his father. Marcus suddenly rose out of the sand and grabbed little Johnny, causing him to scream and laugh.

Johnny chuckled at the video playing, getting teary-eyed.

“Oh, he got you, Johnny!” his mother shouted from the video.

“Ma! Ma! Come join us!” little Johnny replied with a smile.

“Yeah, come join us,” Marcus responded.

“I don’t want to drop the camera,” Johnny’s mother responded.

“Here, I’ll hold the camera. Spend some time with Johnny,” Marcus offered, coming forward and taking the camera.

The footage revealed to be a female gorilla, carrying around an oxygen tank. She was losing most of her hair and her weight thanks to cancer many years ago. Little Johnny and his mother went up to the ocean, greeted by the waves. Whenever the waves crashed on the shore, they would run back.

Marcus would laugh at their antics. “Uh-oh, the ocean’s in a mood today.”

Johnny’s mother into the camera. “Oh no, I look so ugly.”

“No, you don’t. You’re bloody gorgeous,” Marcus replied while coming towards her with the camera.

“You’re not ugly, Mama,” Little Johnny responded.

“See? Take your son’s word for it,” Marcus said with a tease.

“Alright, alright, I guess I’ll believe both of you,” she teased back.

“Yay!” Little Johnny said while climbing on his mother’s back.

“Oi, boy, don’t climb on your mother’s back,” Marcus reminded the little gorilla.

“Oh, sorry,” little Johnny said and climbed down from his mother.

She smiled warmly at him. “It’s alright, dear. It’s alright.”

Johnny paused the video and stared at his mother for a while, looking at the pictures of when she was young without having cancer. He sighed and looked at his mother in the video.

“I still think you’re gorgeous, Mum,” Johnny said sadly. “Dad and I…We miss you a lot. I wish you were still here.”

Johnny frowned at the thought of his mother. He turned to look at the pictures of her singing at a karaoke club in the news clipping, playing the keys of the piano. Maybe he should try singing.

“Oh, I heard that there’s a talent show downtown if you ever want to take a shot at singing.”

Johnny thought about what that strange koala said. Was this a sign to start looking for talent shows that will consider taking his voice? Only time could tell.
