Read this: i thought really hard on whenever i should do the story the way it is. after some thinking i said to myself, its my story. i can do what i want. enjoy the chapter.

Johnny woke up that morning with a huge yawn. He was extremely tired from last night. He got about 3 hours of sleep. But, he has a job to do so he woke up.

He went downstairs to the kitchen of his garage, when he got there. He immediately began to make some coffee. He poured some into the coffee maker, then, he grabbed some bread and began to toast it

While he was waiting for the toast to get done, he noticed a slip of paper on his table. He grabbed it and it say " the alleyway of complex jaywa with $700" which was the apartment complex where ash lives.

Johnny was confused by this but he was gonna do it anyway because it could be something important. He began to eat his toast and drink some of his coffee.

He got into his car, turned it on, which roared to life. He drove off to pick up ash

When he got near her door there, he could smell a lot of beer in there, which made him feel sick on the inside. He knocked on the door anyway. He waited for 8 seconds and saw ash at the doorstep

Johnny: you okay there ash you don't seem like yourself

Ash: oh come on Johnny I'm fine

Johnny: really, cause you look like you were heavily drunk last name night. And why does the room smell like beer.

Ash: must've been something. I don't really know Johnny I just want to head to work

Johnny: okay whatever, you're the boss

Ash smiled and they went to Johnny's pickup truck.

They parked in front of the theater and they got out of the car, and walked in

Johnny and ash were seen by rosita, Gunter, and Eddie sitting down with buster at the center.

Buster: morning fellas

Johnny: morning buster

Buster: anyway, I recommend you guys sit down and at the moment we're just waiting for Meena.

Rosita: that's odd

Buster: what's odd

Rosita: usually Meena's the first one here out of all of us.

Johnny: that is odd, but she did moved into her new house today, so maybe she's a bit wore out

Gunter: oh come on this is Meena we're talking about she can't skip a day unless she's sick

Ash: Gunter, it's winter

Gunter: well, we'll just wait and see

Buster walked out of the room for what felt like an hour. So Johnny got bored and decided to check him

Johnny: is everything okay buster

Buster: yeah, expect that I don't think ash should be here today

Johnny: what why

Buster: I don't know it's just something about her looks today. She doesn't look the same as she always does

Johnny: I didn't notice

Buster: that might be because you're an ape.

Johnny: really

Buster: I'm kidding come on

After a minute, Meena bursted through the doors and landed flat on the ground.

Buster looked at his stopwatch

Buster: you're one second early

Meena sighed

Buster: anyway, now we can have our meeting, come along

Meena, Johnny and buster walked in

Buster sat down at the center, Johnny sat down next to Eddie, while Meena sat between Gunter and ash

Buster: good morning everybody, now during our 5 years of doing theater work, we've done most of it. Plays, singing, dancing etc. but there's one tiny thing we haven't done yet. DUETS

The singers began to talk to the animal next to them, proving that he had a point

Buster: so, I will be setting you up in partners. The two of you will pick a song, and you will practice and perform, it's pretty simple actually

The singers nodded in acceptance to the idea.

Buster: now, I'm pretty sure you know you're partners. Cough cough rosita and Gunter

Rosita and Gunter high five each other.

Johnny: uh, mr moon, we're short one person

Buster: I know that Johnny, which is why we're bringing in someone new today.

Johnny: really

Buster: yeah (walks away) oh and by the way I'm parenting you up with Meena

Johnny: okay

Meena looked at him and nodded

Ash: so who's my partner

Buster: the new guy

Ash: sweet, when's he coming in

Buster: he's supposed to be here right now

Just then, everyone heard the doors blow open. Everyone looked out to see an antelope with light brown fur, wearing a white long shirt and tan jeans

?: I am so sorry for being late, I woke up this morning, realized I was doing this, got in traffic,

Buster: it's okay, better late than never. Anyway, what's your name

Alex

Buster: well Alex, I recommend you get your butt up here and we'll get down to business

Alex: alright

Meena and ash sat down with buster and Eddie to hear this guy sing

Johnny faintly heard him singing, he had to admit he was a pretty good singer.

He went upstairs to the room where he normally practiced. He noticed that the door was closed. Usually the door was never closed, Johnny knew what it meant. It meant you couldn't go in there today. So he went to up supply room to get a spare piano

He opened the door and it was pretty far back in there unusually. He simply groaned and went all the way in there. He heard Meena big footsteps coming at the door to the off limits room.

Johnny: I wouldn't go in there. Usually when the doors close, it means that it's off limits. Like someone threw up, or something bad happened.

Meena: okay

Meena walked into the supply room being careful not to break anything

Johnny: you mind helping me out

Meena: not at all no. Besides I've seen enough of your ass

Johnny: ha ha very funny

Outside, Johnny was playing cool, but on the inside, he was blushing like a god forsaken rose. He's always had a crush on Meena, he's been recently trying to break out. But he doesn't know how.

Meena went to his side and they began to pull out the piano.

During this, they started another conversation.

Johnny: so how's your new house

Meena: oh you know, it's fine. It's not like it's phenomenal or anything like that. But it's still pretty good

Johnny: if it's not my garage (they pull piano out of supply room) anythings better.

Johnny began to walk off with the piano. Meena looked at him

Meena: where are we going

Johnny: how about we ask ash for permission

Meena: okay

They got to their practice room. Johnny and Meena walked in, with Johnny having the piano in his arms

Alex: what are you two doing in here

Meena: the room Johnny normally plays in is being off limits at the moment. So would you two mind

Ash: of course not, we're friends, why wouldn't we

In the last 5 years, Johnny ash and Meena have became really well friends. They were like some 80's movies trio. Johnny was the cool one. Ash was the punky crazy one, and meena was the shy one. But however, Johnny said she was more than that. Which made ash thinking something

Alex took out some headphones and gave a pair to ash. He opened his computer and began looking up random duet songs. Ash was the judge, while Alex was the chooser

Meanwhile, Johnny and Meena were both listening and playing at the same time. It didn't really bother them

While they were playing, Meena heard some strange grumbling sounds. She couldn't tell where it was coming from.

Ash: I'm gonna head to the bathroom

Ash rushed out of the room, and the noise went down. Meena got suspicious. Why would the sound leave if ash lefted. Meena shrugged and maybe she was imagining things.

When ash got back into the room, she made a faint Yelp as Johnny hit a key on the piano.

Alex: ash, are you sure you're okay

Ash: come on man, I'm still myself

Meena: ash you're sweating, your hearing looks like it's beyond the chart, and you look like you're gonna faint at any moment

Ash: bull Meena, you know that I

Before she can finish, she fell on the ground motionless. The trio of animals began to freak out. Johnny rushed out to get the others. Meena picked up ash. Alex hopped off his chair and asked Meena

Alex: where's the medical room.

Meena: its upstairs

Alex bursted out of the room to get the supply ready and Meena followed.

Alex kicked the door to the side and looked for any supply that he would need as everyone else walked in.

Meena placed ash on the bed, Johnny plugged everything in.

A few hours later, Johnny and Meena left for the day. With buster saying that was okay.

Johnny drove back to the house in a panic. He was thinking how ash would be okay or not. He needed to clear his head. So, at sunset he decided to visit his father. Johnny was working hard to get the bail money to free his dad. But $700 dollars were the price. He walked through the prison and waited for his dad for a minute or two

His dad came into the room and say in front of Johnny and took the phone.

Big daddy: hey Johnny

Johnny: hey dad

Big daddy: you okay

Johnny: well, let's just say that ash isn't feeling so good.

Big daddy: why what happened

Johnny: for some reason she fainted on the ground, none of us really knew why that was the case

Big daddy: she ain't gonna die ain't she

Johnny: oh no no no, she'll be fine. A new fella said that

Big daddy: new fella, who is he

Johnny: his names Alex. Don't really know anything about him. Other than that things are going well. Besides I need to know one thing

Big daddy: what's that

Johnny: where did put our money

Big daddy: why would you need to know that

Johnny: well, someone gave me a letter saying to give them $700 and I don't know where it is

Big daddy: was it written in purple

Johnny: yes

Big daddy: did the S' have little spikes across them

Johnny: yeah

big daddy's eyes grew wide. he knew who did it.

Big daddy: they're in my room

Johnny: wait hold on why are you telling me this now

Big daddy: because it was one of surges men that gave you it

Johnny: wait a minute surge

Big daddy: yeah, and if you don't give it to him. He'll kill you and everyone you love. GO NOW

Johnny: on it love ya

Johnny hanged up the phone and ran to the truck

Johnny: oh hey ash

Ash: hi

Johnny instantly sighed

Johnny: rosita told me, I'm sorry about that

Ash: no it's okay, I'm used to it

Johnny: ash, you're having a kid and no one knows how yet, how is it possible to be okay with it

Ash: simple, I've always wanted to be a mother, just didn't know when.

Johnny: well take it from someone who's also alone, just keep standing, no matter how many beatings the world gives you

Ash: anyway, why are you here

Johnny: I was told to come here with $700 for some reason.

Ash: Johnny, this usually begins with a robbery

Johnny: he said it was a simple meeting.

Ash: oh yeah, and who was this person

Johnny stopped on his tracks

Johnny: it's surge

Ash turned to Johnny in surprise

Ash: surge, the surge. The kingpin surge. The one that always gets his way. The one that got that stone days after the "incident"

Johnny: yep

Ash: welp, it was nice knowing ya Johnny

She walked off, leaving Johnny to continue his walk alone

Johnny made it to the alleyway that the note had say. As soon as a second went by, two men blocked his ways in and out. Johnny began to get nervous and twiddle with his thumbs.

Then, the big man himself, surge walked in wearing a bright white suit

Surge: nice to meet ya again Johnny

Johnny: hello, surge. Long time no see

Surge: i remember when you were just a little one. But time files by doesn't it

Johnny: yeah, It does right

Surge: so, I assume you have my money. Cause if ya don't

He snaps his fingers and a guard walks in throwing a familiar face into the ground as surge picked her up by her hood

Johnny: MEENA

Surge: oh, so you do know who this is, well, that's nice.

Meena is clearly trying to get out of the hold but fails

Johnny: it's okay I have the money. Here take it

He threw all the money on the ground

Surge: sweet, thanks honestly I was gonna have to take things in a different manner

As he said that, the purple gem in his staff began to glow.

Surge: but you still have one more thing to do.

He pushed on the staff to take off the cap that was holding the gem inside and pointed it to Meena's head

Surge: reveal your secrets, Johnny

Johnny froze right there. He never told anyone about his crime life other than buster. Buster was happy for Johnny about telling the truth and promised to keep it a secrets

Surge clicked another button which shot out a purple beam of energy which landed at Meena's forehead. Which made her scream in pain. Johnny began to tear up and close his fists. He really wanted to do this. Meena's skin began to crack open. With a ear grading cracking sound. Her entire body began to glow.

Ever since the incident, surge found this gem and if he shot it at someone for 25 seconds, they would blow up. The ones who did survive barely did.

They were at the 23 second mark when Johnny was about to confess. But then something happened at the last second. The staff flew out of his hands and onto the ground. Making him also drop the horrendously hurt Meena. No one ever stopped at that point and lived. Then, a gun shot killed each of his men. Surge began to look at the roofs. He grabbed out a pistol and began to shoot up. He didn't realize that something was coming from behind to knock him out. Which was what happened.

It was Alex.

Johnny stood there shocked that Alex did all of that within 30 seconds

Alex looked at Johnny

Alex: what happened

Johnny: well, surge almost killed Meena before you showed and somehow did that

Alex: I'll explain later, we got to get her to a hospital

Johnny: how do we get there so fast

Alex pulled out a glowing green ball

Alex: hold this

Johnny grabbed onto it

Alex: now think of the hospital.

Johnny thought of it

Johnny: where is this going

Alex: trust me (pulls out another one and thinks of the same one) now crush it while you're still thinking about that hospital

Johnny: okay

Johnny and Alex crush theirs at the same time. And they begin to fade into green ember and fly off with Meena

I would give an answer for the whole fiesta, but not yet.

Review for me

Bye
