A month after the theater was rebuilt and the number of visitors increased, Buster Moon decides to convene his artists for one more performance.
"Johnny, I want to report" joyful "news. - Moon loudly exclaimed that Johnny was almost deaf.
"Yes, Mr. Moon, what news?" - Johnny responds to losing an almost deafened ear.
"Call everyone to come to the theater, I'll tell you everything."
"All right, Mr. Moon." I'll call.
- Well. I will wait for you.
Johnny began ringing all the artists, announced an important announcement from Buster Mun.
Later, all the artists came to the theater in which they were waiting for Buster.
"Mr. Moon, why such a meeting?" - Rosita is surprised not understanding what is happening.
"I ask you to calm down, I will only say when there is a grave silence."
All the artists were silent.
- So. I called you in order that exactly six months later, that is, the day of the opening of the renovated theater, you will come again. - Moon joyfully gestures this announcement, which almost falls from dizziness.
"Wow, Mr. Moon, thank you." Exactly the day when we performed on the ruins. - Ash was also happy.
- Are there any rewards? - Asks Mike.
- I'll think about it.
"Think faster, or I can refuse."
- Okay okay, will be, each of you the same amount of $ 10,000.
- It's quite another matter.
- And what will we do? - Johnny is slightly interested.
"I'll find the right songs for you."
- Again pop music to me? - Ash was indignant because after her Moon gave a song of pop genre.
- No, no, you will write, I saw what you are capable of.
- Thank you for noticing me then.
- Do not thank me.
"Mr. Moon, that is, what will it be then?" - Shyly asks Mina fearing that Moon will not like the question.
- What are you? It will not be exactly like that, the other songs, the numbers, with them as well.
- Sorry, you just could add something new.
"And I'll work on it." Thank you. - Moon grinned.
- True?
- Of course Mina, you gave a good idea. "Günther says happily."
- Thank you
- And now you can go home and always be ready to speak.
"Thank you, Mr. Moon." We will be prepared. - Rosita said still happy with the news.
- Yes Mr. Mun, we will arrange an unforgettable show. - Adds also joyful Johnny.
- Okay. Well done. I'm proud of you. Can go home. Relax. - Says a very joyful Buster.
Everyone went home. Ash to his home, Rosita - to children and her husband, and Mike - to his girlfriend.
"Mina, stay."
"Yes, Mr. Mun?" Mina was a little surprised.
- I need your help. We brought in a lot of heavy equipment for the theater yesterday. Help me decompose.
"Yes, Mr. Moon." I'll help.
- Thank you. And for the idea and for the help.
Mina helped to carry heavy equipment to the right places, dragged musical columns, searchlights, musical instruments and more.
When Mina helped Buster, she was very tired, she wanted to sit down, relax, but ...
"Mina, come to me."
Tired Mina went to Moon, but barely stood on her feet.
"Mina, thank you for your help." I give you $ 10,000 as a token of gratitude. You can go home.
- Thank you very much.
Mina went home to the music in the headphones.
Mina came home, Mina's relatives were a little worried because she came tired. We thought something had happened to her, but after hearing her explanations, she sighed with relief and invited her to dinner, as they saw that she was hungry.
After dinner, Mina goes to her room to rest. She sits down for a laptop and goes to the social network, notices that her neighbor sent her a video, which, in addition, a huge number of views on Zootube. And according to the "video-containing" message (or rather, by the huge number of exclamation marks, which were, in general, all of its text), it was clear that the movie is definitely worth a look.
The video showed a poorly shot, but still catchy excerpt of a charity concert that was held recently in the local cultural center. There was a porcupine, about which Mina had never heard before. His right eye hid the needles of green, was wearing a jacket, jeans and sneakers, holding in his paws a green rock guitar. On his T-shirt was depicted a yellow Christian cross, the same dangling on his neck. The hall was completely ecstatic.
He sang, of course, a song of his own composition
If you're sick
If you're sick
If you're sick
If you're sick of it
If you're sick
If you're sick
If you're sick of it!
When everything you do
Don't seem to matter.
You try but it's no use
Your world is getting blacker.
When every time you fail
Has no answer.
Every empty promise made
His own reminder.
No one can make this better
Take control, it's now or never!
Are you sick of it?
Raise your hands,
Get rid of it!
While there's a fighting chance!
Are you over it?
Bored to death?
Have you had enough regret?
Take a stand, raise your hands...
If you're sick of it!
If you're sick
If you're sick
If you're sick of it!
If you're sick of it!
If you're sick
If you're sick
If you're sick of it!
Every single day
I chase my own tail
Like the bad inside of me
Has gotta get, gotta get, get away
I'm running out of time
For me to break this.
I'm tired of feeling like
I'm never gonna make it.
No one can make this better
Take control, it's now or never!
Are you sick of it?
Raise your hands,
Get rid of it!
While there's a fighting chance!
Are you over it?
Bored to death?
Have you had enough regret?
Take a stand, raise your hands...
If you're sick of it!
If you're sick
If you're sick
If you're sick of it!
If you're sick of it!
If you're sick
If you're sick
If you're sick of it!
I'm tired of it
I'm over it
I'm bored to death
Gotta face this
I'm sick of it!
Raise your hands
If you're sick
If you're sick of it
Raise your hands
If you're sick
If you're sick of it
Sick of it!
Raise your hands,
Get rid of it!
While there's a fighting chance!
Are you over it?
Bored to death?
Have you had enough regret?

The spectators obviously went to an abrupt halt: they jumped, waved their paws and applauded him.
Mine liked the concert and song so much that she sent the video to all the "theater" ones. Johnny, Rosita, Mike and Ash also sometimes chatted among themselves.
The song appealed to everyone, but for obvious reasons Ash sunk into the soul. The girl firmly decided to meet with the musician.
- Mina, I need to know who this porcupine is from the video, I did not hear about it. But I'm afraid that the video is made in another city, and maybe the country.
- No, the video was filmed in our local cultural center a couple of weeks ago. And the singer's name is Mal.
- Thank you. I had to know this.
Loudly closing the laptop, Ash, of course, went to this very cultural center, where with difficulty, but finds the manager's office.
- Hello. My name is Ash, I want to talk to Mal. - She says, a little nervous, the girl, asking to enter and having received the appropriate permission.
- Mal? We do not have any Males, darling. - not looking up from the papers, says the director of the center, Billy Tigro.
"I'm not talking about your workers, I'm talking about the porcupine, that I spoke to you a couple of weeks ago."
- Ah, you mean him ... He brought many visitors to the center with his concert. Therefore, we paid him for his conduct. A small part of the money was given to the singers for the concert, and the big one was sent to hospitals where children are treated. Mel for a long time refused money and we hardly persuaded him. - as if incidentally told Tigger.
- Wow, this is all cool, but how can I find it? Ash asks.
"We do not know where he lives, but we only know that he visits the cafe" Near the Sea "every day here. He himself said that after the concert he would go there, "as usual."
- Thank you, you helped me a lot. - the girl says quickly and runs away.
- Yes, not at all. Farewell. - already in the address of the closed door.
After leaving the building, Ash immediately punched the cafe by the navigator. H-yes. This cafe was to be called "Under the Tail", because it was in some kind of universal ass. In addition, the sea there did not even smell. Perhaps he was just interrupted by the smell of trash and cigarette smoke. Inside it was, at least, clean and uncoiled. From the windows instead of the supposed seascape there was only a beautiful peeling brick wall.
An hour or two, Mal does not. Ash, just about to leave, hears at the counter: "Espresso" please. And, recognizing Mal by voice, immediately approached him and sat down at his table with him.
- Hey, Mal. - resolutely, but calmly began the girl.
"Um, hi, Ash." Mal did not drop the coffee.
- Where do you know me from? - Here the girl was already surprised.
- How from where? From your performance on the ruins of the theater. - The musician sat down at a table. - I watched a contest in the cafe on the TV. I liked your singing, and you yourself. You became one of those things that inspired me to create a song.
"Am I your inspiration?" Did not expect to hear this ...
- Why did you come to me? Mel asks.
Ash moves closer and whispers something in his ear. The guitarist smiles and nods. It seems that they both came up with something.
