Note: Everything will be in Kairi's POV unless I put it in normal mode.
Note2: I'm making Mushu tri-lingual because I am not putting other Chinese words that I don't understand. The only word I know in Chinese is Ni Hao so he'll mainly speak Spanish and English.
Chapter One:
Kairi's POV:
I was out on the field, doing chores. I was dumping a bucket full of garbage into a dumpster.
Me(singing): Wind blowing through my hair
Everybody telling me there's no place like home
No, no
There's somewhere else for me
I need to take the opportunity and go
And go, yeah
'Cause 'round here it's all too far
And when I look up to the stars
I wanna be, I wanna be like they are
Oh, oh, oh
Sometimes you gotta get out of Kansas
And sometimes you gotta take your chances
Find the answer
'Cause no one ever made it just waiting around
For their big 15 minutes in a two-bit town
And one thing I know is crystal clear
I gotta get out of here
A new sound, a whole new crowd
Why whisper, when I want to sing out loud?
And let me hear you say,
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah"
I'm on land but I can fly
Something in my heart saying I was meant to shine
Like a diamond in the sky
I wanna see my name in lights
And someone to buy the movie rights
I wanna hear my music come to life
Oh
Sometimes you gotta get out of Kansas
And sometimes you gotta take your chances
Find the answer
'Cause no one ever made it just waiting around
For their big 15 minutes in a two-bit town
And one thing I know is crystal clear
I gotta get out of here
I gotta get out of here
Mm-mm
I gotta get out of here
"Kairi." My aunt called.
"I gotta get out of here." I said to myself.
"Kairi!" My aunt called again and I looked at her. "Enough daydreaming, Kairi, You know, these ketchup bottles ain't gonna refill themselves." She said as I walked over.
I put a ketchup bottle down. "Sorry, Aunt Rora. I just can't stop thinking about my audition today. So, how do I look?" I asked, talking off the apron and showing her my short, pink dress that had a black hood in the back, a zipper in the front and a black belt. I was also wearing my purple shoes.
"You look like one of them girls in one of them rap videos." She said.
I looked at her. "Order's up!" Uncle John said, ringing the bell and setting the plate down on the small window.
I went over to the window. "Uncle John, what do you think of my outfit?" I asked him.
He leaned forward with a smile. "You look like one of them girls in a rap video." He said. I smiled. "But we cannot allow you to walk around the street dressed like that." He said. I frowned and looked at her. "Kairi's old enough to dress the way she wants, don't you think?" He asked her. That set her off. She walked over to the window to get the plate. I had that Oh, you're in trouble now! look on my face. "Now, Rora, don't get mad. Baby? Uh-oh." He said, cowering back into the kitchen a bit as she grabbed the plate and walked off.
I looked at the clock. "It's three o'clock. I've gotta go to my audition. And this is what I'm wearing." I told her and she looked at me.
"What? You can't leave." She said then looked at the door and saw Naveen walk in. "Hey, Naveen. Hey!" She greeted.
"Hey, Rora." He said.
She turned back to me. "I need you for the early bird rush." She said and walked away.
I walked after her. "I know I'm leaving you short-handed, Aunt Rora, but this is big. I mean, if they like me I could get out of Kansas and become somebody." I said.
She looked at me. "If they like you?" She asked, I looked at her. "See, that's your problem. Look, now, you can roll out of here in one of those stretch Hummers and sing all around the world, but you're never gonna get to where you wanna be until you're happy with who you are." She said, pointing at me.
"What?" I asked.
"You can go to your audition after your shift is over." She said, handing me the menus and walked away.
I faced her back. "But I'm already gonna be late!" I told her.
"Psst, Kairi." Uncle John whispered, causing me to look over at him. "Over here. Come, come, come, come, come, come, come." He said and I walked over to him. "What type of audition is it for?" He asked. I had the apron back on.
"To sing with the Characters, but looks like I can forget about it." I told him.
"So that's it? You're just gonna pass up an opportunity to audition for the Characters, the most powerful people in Hollywood?" He asked. We looked at Aunt Rora for one second then at each other.
"You heard the wise one: You're not gonna be where you're going, till you're where you're at." I mocked Aunt Rora's words.
"Well, you've been a great employee at my diner for years now, and it's time I repaid the favor. So, go on to your audition." He said.
I smiled. "Thanks!" I said, kissing his cheek.
"Go on." He said and walked over to my bag after putting something down.
"John!" Aunt Rora said.
"Hey, baby. He told her then looked at me.
"John!" She said again.
"Remember what I said. Ten percent. I'm kidding." He told me. I smiled because I knew he was covering up for me and I left through the back way with my bag. I caught a bus and hopped on. I got off once it got me to the place. I rushed over to go through the door when a man walked out.
"Sir? Sir, hi. I'm here for the audition." I said. He took the flyer down then faced me.
"I'm afraid auditions ended at four, due to slim pickin's." He said.
I looked at my watch. "Please, I'm only five minutes late." I said, looking back at him.
He went over to me and touched my shoulders. "Oh, alas, I feel your pain. But the Characters have gone and where they are now, heaven only knows." He said.
I heard a voice. "OK, guys, if you gotta go, go. Next stop, Nebraska." The voice said. I looked behind me and saw their bus. I would know it's their bus because there was a saw on it that read Characters Star Hunt. I was shocked then looked at the guy and frowned at him.
I ran down the steps and over to them so I could catch them in time. "Mr. Jim! Miss Eilonwy!" I called.
"Oh, great, a groupie." I heard her mumble to him. "Sorry, dear, no autographs." She told me.
"Actually, I wanted to sing for you, but if it's too late do you think maybe you can listen to my demo?" I asked handing, Jim the demo.
"Oh, I..." Jim started.
"No time. We'll have to get your song off Napster." Eilonwy said.
"No, no, Eilonwy." Jim told her then looked at me. "Sure, uh gee... and you're a singer?" Jim asked.
"Yeah." I said.
"And you did this demo yourself?" He asked again.
"All by myself." I said, smiling.
"Time to go!" Eilonwy snapped.
"Listen, I will try to listen to your CD!" He assured as the door was closing.
"OK, thanks for your time." I said as it was starting to drive off. I watched as it was driving off then I noticed a ball of hay went past me and I looked at the guy. "Why are you doing that?" I asked.
"I thought it would make the moment more dramatic." He said. I scoffed softly and walked home.
I walked into the house. "Baby, what took you so long? Did you miss your bus?" Uncle John asked.
"You got what you wanted, I'm still stuck here." I told Aunt Rora as I looked at her. I looked took a quick glance at Uncle John then quickly looked at Aunt Rora then went to my room and slammed the door behind me. I set my bag down then laid on my bed. I looked at Mushu, my small pet dragon. I sighed. "Mushu, is this it for me? Serving meatloaf to truckers and living in a Kansas trailer park?" I asked then turned to lay on my back. I looked at the ceiling.
"Now, I know you think show business is all glitz and glamour, but it's not." Aunt Rora said. I looked at them.
"Well, that is true. That is very, very true. Hollywood is full of crime and flash fires, earthquakes, paparazzi..." He said as I sat up. He made some camera shuttering noises. "You know, it's not safe. Not like here." He said. Thunder crashed, causing Aunt Rora and I to flinch.
"Look, I know you wanna leave, but you still belong here with your family and your friends." She said.
"What friends?" I asked, looking at her.
I looked at him when he spoke. "What friends? Come on. Mushu's your friend, and um... uh, you got, uh..." He said as I looked at Mushu then looked at Uncle John and gave him a look. "Mushu's your friend." He said.
"Mushu's a small dragon I rescued from the diner because you won't let me have a dog." I said, looking at Aunt Rora.
"Well, dogs are funky. And they got fleas, OK?" She said. I rolled my eyes a bit then looked at her. "Look, how about this? When this blows over, we will go to the Karaoke Bar and Buffet. Sing, girl!" She said. I knew she was trying to cheer me up but it wasn't working because she wasn't understanding me. Neither was Uncle John.
"Don't you guys get it? I don't want to sing karaoke in some little Kansas restaurant. I want an exciting life. I want to go somewhere where I can see a concert, or take dance lessons, or maybe even learn kabbalah." I said.
"Kabbalah? Did she blaspheme?" She asked Uncle John.
"I don't think so, baby." He told her.
"I wanna go somewhere where I can be someone. Maybe even a star." I said.
"OK, now, do you wanna be a star or a singer? Because they're not the same thing." She said.
"Well, all I know is that I hate living here and I don't want to end up like you." I said. Okay, that seemed a little mean and it was a total accident but I was getting frustrated right now. A warning sign sounded off.
"Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Well... Hey, did you know that in the Northern Hemisphere, hurricanes, they twist counterclockwise, but in the Southern Hemisphere they twist clockwise? I'd hate to be the guy that figured that out. With the wind just blowing everything..." Uncle John said as Aunt Rora was getting up. I could tell she was angry. I cowered a bit by leaning back. She looked at him as he was laughing a bit and he stopped laughing then she looked back at me. I stayed on my bed. "Well, that's the round. Back to your corners." He said as she looked out the window then back at me. "I'm heading to the storm shelter before this tornado hits and we all die." He said, looking at Aunt Rora. She looked at him, hit his shoulder and walked past him. "Anybody care to join me?" He asked. "Great. Now I'm stuck with these two knuckleheads in the storm shelter." He said as he followed her out. I got up and picked up my bag. I followed them out of the house. "Kairi, come on!" He said.
I was about to get in when I remembered Mushu. "Wait! I forgot Mushu!" I said.
"No, it's just a lizard!" Aunt Rora said as I was pulling away from them.
"He's not a lizard, he's a small, red dragon!" I said, running back to the house.
"Kairi!" Uncle John and Aunt Rora yelled but I ignored them as I got to the house.
I screamed as a window broke when I got to the door. I opened it and ran in. "Mushu! Mushu!" I yelled, running to my room. I threw my bag down and picked his glass lizard tank up. I sat on my bed and held it tightly to protect him but let him breathe at the same time. I screamed as I felt the house being lifted up off the ground. "Sorry, Mushu!" I said, going to sit on my knees. "When I make it big, I'm gonna buy a nice brick house that's anchored to the ground." I promised. I got up but fell onto my bed. I got up again and was tossed around until the house landed upside down. I fell to the ground then got up. "Ouch!" I muttered as I was getting up. "Mushu! Mushu! Come on, Mushu! Where are you? Mushu!" I said as I moved things around, looking for him then saw his broken lizard tank.
I didn't notice anything pop up until I heard a voice. "Ni Hao!" The voice said. I looked over, saw Mushu and we both screamed. "Por que? What is it? Why do we scream, OK?" He asked.
"You're all big. And you're talking." I said.
"Si. But more importantly, I am naked, OK." He said. He laughed and I looked disgusted.
"Wait! No!" I said.
"Huh? What?" He asked as I was reaching for something.
I grabbed my stuffed bear and handed it over to him. "Here." I said.
"Oh, no, no, no. He's not my type, OK." He said.
"The clothes." I said.
"OK. Oh, the clothes. You want me to put on the clothes, you just have to say, Put on the clothes." He said as he took the bear. He fell back with a thud. "OK." He said as I looked away to give him privacy and took my ponytail holder out of my hair. I was brushing my hair. I heard some of the fabric being ripped. Must've been the pants so he can put his tail through it, then again I wouldn't know because I was looking away. He came back up. "Hm. Oh, it's a nice fit, OK?" He said.
I smiled and touched the jacket. "Yeah, it's kind of cute. I like how..." I stopped when I realized what I was doing.
"Si, si." He said then looked at me as I backed away a bit.
"What am I doing?" I asked myself.
"Hm?" He asked.
"You can't be talking to me." I said.
"Oh. Oh, but I am." He said.
I looked away and put a hand on my head. "I need some air." I said and started getting up.
"Si, si. I have this effect on all the womans, OK. I'll come with you." He said. I got out of the house through the window then waited for Mushu.
