Chapter 7: An Impressive Performance
Buster called everyone, and told them that they were going to go on with the show after all. When they were all at the theater site, they cleaned up the rubble, set up the seats, fixed up the place, practiced their acts, Meena and Buster taught Eddie how to work the controls for he would act as the stagehand, and advertised their show with posters.
At the hospital, Missy and Cassia were leaving, but she was wondering why Buster hadn't come back to tell Cassia about the theater, so she called him. "Hello?" asked Buster over the phone. "Buster, where are you?" asked Missy.
"Sorry, Missy, we've been busy fixing up the theater." Buster explained. "What?" asked Missy, confused. "Missy, the show's going on after all." he said. "Really you found a way to still do it?" asked Missy.
"Yep, so tomorrow night, be prepared to see some singing and dancing." said Buster. "Now that's the brother I know, we'll be there." said Missy, and she hung up. "What's going on, Mommy?" asked Cassia.
"Your uncle was just telling me what the show's tomorrow night." Missy explained. "Yay, we're going right?" asked Cassia. "Of course." Missy answered. After hours of work, they were ready for tomorrow night, however when Mike learned that there wasn't going to be a prize, he quit, but it didn't matter this was about singing and having fun.
The next night, Buster peeked out from the curtains and saw that the only animals in the audience were Missy, Cassia, Meena's family, and Rosita's family. It wasn't much, but it was better than nothing.
There was also a reporter with a cameraman out covering the story on Buster trying to still do his show, even though the theater was completely destroyed. "Okay, everyone. Let's have some fun out there, and show them what talent you have." said Buster.
"Cassia's gonna love this." said Eddie, and everyone agreed. Buster got on his fake moon, and Eddie lowered it. "Welcome everyone, to the Moon Theater singing show, and put your paws together for our first act, Gunter and Rosita." said Buster.
"You ready, Gunter?" asked Rosita. "Like totally." answered Gunter. The curtains opened that revealed a kitchen and laundry room scene. Rosita started singing Taylor "Swift's Shake it Off", and Gunter joined in.
Then she sent into the fake refrigerator and when she came out, Eddie turned on pink lights, and Rosita came out wearing a black leotard with a tail. And Gunter burst out of his washer costume to reveal he was wearing a black unitard, and the two started singing and dancing, the audience was really impressed especially Norman.
In town, animals were watching the performances on TV, and Mike saw how impressed everyone was, and he decided he wanted to be part of the action. When Rosita and Gunter finished their acts, everyone applauded.
"Gunter and Rosita." said Buster coming back on stage. Rosita's came all climbed on stage and tackled their mother to the ground. "Norman, help." said Rosita. Norman snapped out of his trance, and went on stage.
He pulled Rosita away from the kids, and then he kissed her. The curtains closed, and after all the piglets and Norman got off the stage, Buster came out.
"Now, here's Johnny." he said. Everyone applauded as Eddie, pushed the piano onto the stage, and Johnny sat down in front of it on a stool. He hit the keys, to quiet everyone down, then he started playing.
Then he started singing, Elton John's "I'm still Standing". In the city's jail, the other prisoners were watching the show on TV, while Johnny's dad sat on his bed. "Would you guys turn that off?" he asked.
But when they were too amazed by the show, he got up to see what the fuss was about. To his shock his son was playing the piano and singing. "Johnny?" he asked in shock. As his dad heard how good Johnny was at singing and playing the piano, he realized how talented his boy was.
"That's my boy." he said happily. Then he realized his son was having the most amazing moment of his life, and he wasn't there. He grabbed the bars on the window, and ripped out the wall. He was going to see his son, no matter what.
As Johnny finished his song, everyone applauded, and he bowed. But even though he got to do what he loved, he felt a bit sad that his dad wasn't there.
"Wasn't that great, folks. Our next act is an original song written by our own rocker, Ash." said Buster. Ash came out carrying her guitar, and wearing the pop princess dress with puff sleeves and layers ripped off, a red leather jacket, black boots, and Becky's sunglasses.
She was about to strum her guitar when it wouldn't work. It turns out that Judith from the bank had unplugged her guitar. "You all are on private property, you must all leave." she said. But Ash started to stamp her foot loudly.
And the audience started clapping to the beat, and Ash started singing, showing Judith that they weren't leaving. "I'm going to call the police." said Judith, as she marched off the stage. Buster plugged back in the guitar, and Ash started to rock out.
Becky and Lance were watching the show on at her place, but she turned it off. "Please her act's not even that great." said Becky. "Yeah, totally." agreed Lance. But when Becky left the room, he quickly switched the TV back on.
Back on stage, Ash was in such a rocking mood, she started spinning and shaking and her quills flew everywhere. When she finished, she looked up and saw that everyone had hid behind their seats.
"Uh, sorry, you guys okay?" she asked sheepishly. The audience applauded, and Buster came on stage. "Wasn't that amazing, we just witness an upcoming rock star." he said. "Uh, Moon you've still got some stuck in you." said Ash, removing a quill.
Johnny's father ran across rooftops with cops chasing him, trying to get the theater, and he was almost there. "And now for our next act, he's a little guy with a big voice, give it up for Mike." said Buster.
"What do you think you're doing back here?" Rosita asked Mike as he walked onto the stage wearing a purple suit. "I'm going to show you all how it's done." Mike answered. The curtains opened, and Mike started singing Frank Sinatra's "My Way".
As he sang, the others were amazed at how good his voice was. At the nightclub, the three bears saw Mike on TV, and left to beat on him, but Nancy saw that they were going after Mike, and she had to do something.
When they got in their car, and drove to the theater, Nancy got into Mike's car and drove after them. As Mike kept singing, Johnny's dad arrived at the theater. He saw Johnny, watching the performance from backstage, so he threw a pebble at him to get his attention.
Johnny turned around, and was shocked to see his dad. He ran up to them, and the two hugged. "I'm so proud of you, Johnny." "Thanks, Dad." replied Johnny. As this was happening, the police helicopters circled over the theater, looking for Johnny's dad.
The blowing air, caused Mike to fly up into the air, but he kept singing even though, he had to hold onto the microphone. "Well I better get back. I'll see you during visiting hours, right?" asked Johnny's dad.
"Right, Dad." Johnny answered. He left, and when the helicopters didn't see them they flew away, and Mike flew on the microphone as it fell back to the ground, and the audience clapped for him.
"And now for our last but certainly not least performer, Meena." said Buster. The audience clapped, but Meena didn't come out. "Where is she?" Buster whispered to Eddie. But Eddie shrugged, and Buster went back.
"Meena, you okay?" he asked her. "I don't think I can do this, I'm too scared." said Meena. But the audience was waiting for her. "Give me you hand." said Buster offering his hand. Meena took it, and Buster led her to the stage.
"Now calm down, and remember, if you just sing you won't be scared anymore." said Buster. Meena slowly went out on stage, and stood in front of the microphone. She looked back at Buster, and he whispered, "Sing."
Meena started singing Stevie Wonder's "Don't you Worry About a Thing" quietly, and as she started singing she got louder and more lively. She jumped, and danced all over the stage, and when she finished the audience applauded louder than before.
Everyone went out on stage and gave a bow. Buster was very proud, and suddenly he heard a loud whistle. He looked out in the audience and saw the one who whistled was Nana Noodleman. She clapped and gave an approving nod.
Missy and Cassia went up on stage. "Buster this show was amazing." Said Missy, as she and Cassia walked onto the stage. "I know right, and look at all the creatures that came." Said Buster, referring to all the creatures who were applauding and cheering.
Suddenly Missy's cell phone vibrated in her pocket. "Hello?" she asked, as she answered it. She walked further backstage to hear better. "Really, you're serious? When, right now. Okay, we're on our way there." Said Missy, and she hung up.
"What's going on, Mommy?" asked Cassia. "Your doctor just called, they found a kidney for you." Said Missy. "Really?" asked Cassia. "They did?" asked Buster. "Yes, he said we could do the operation tonight, but we have to get you back to the hospital." Said Missy, to Cassia.
"Then you better get back there." Said Buster. "Can you come to Uncle Buster?" asked Cassia. Buster smiled at her, and said, "Sure sweetie, just give me a minute." Said Buster. He went out on stage, and spoke to the audience.
"Thank you all for coming to our singing show, I hope you all enjoyed yourselves. But I have to go now, my niece needs me to be there for her." Said Buster. "Buster what's going on?" asked Johnny.
"Cassia's going to the hospital to get her kidney transplant, and I have to be there for her." Explained Buster. The contestants cheered for the good news, and the three koalas left the theater grounds.
