Hi! this is my first sing fanfic, and i hope you all enjoy! pls review(i take criticism well)
They had always been close. They knew this. Their friends knew this. But what they could not see was clear as day to everybody else. This particular story's beginning takes place on a warm Monday morning, in the newly named Moon Enterprises.
A small worker dog was putting away paints as the glass doors slid open. "Morning, Johnny," he said.
"Good morning, Steven," Johnny replied.
" Morning, Nooshy," Steven said without even turning around.
" Ughhhhhhhhhh." groaned a lynx, who was surprisingly riding on top of the gorilla's shoulders. "I wasn't even walking! You couldn't even hear me! So how did you know I was here?"
" Both of you come in at the same time every day."
" But today it was only Johnny! And we came in later!"
"You two are always together."
"He's got you there, Noosh." laughed Johnny.
The two did a little fist bump while Steven snapped his fingers and said, "Oh yeah! I forgot to mention, Moon wants everyone backstage. He"s got a new show idea."
"We're here!" cried Johnny.
"We are not late!" added Nooshy.
Rosita, Ash, Porsha, Buster, Gunter, and the rest of the crew stared at the pair until Ash spoke up. "Um, why is Nooshy on your shoulders?"
"Oops. forgot about that."
Nooshy jumped off of him and Johnny explained. "She tried to trick Steven again."
the others let out an "ohh" of understanding.
"Her idea, not mine. I repeat, not my idea."
"Throw me under the bus, why don't cha!" The two began a round of friendly bickering until Buster called out "Enough! We get it. But now the reason why I really called you here. People want new shows, and Gunter and I came up with an amazing idea."
"What? What is it?" Cried everyone eagerly.
"A Cinderella remix!" The cast members cringed on the inside but managed to keep a straight face.
"Um…Moon..no offense, but who wants to see another one of those? They're everywhere." Ash said, not bothering to hide her disdain.
"This story…told the way no one else has told it before. Breakdancing, different music, a different kind of way to tell a story as old as time itself. Something brand new, but the same. Something that nobody but us can pull off!" Buster declared.
"Now that sounds a bit better, doesn't it?" Rosita said thoughtfully.
As they all thought it over, Gunter asked the most important question. "Who's the cast?"
Buster smiled and said, " that's the best part! I'm letting you guys choose who you think should be the roles. The heroine is named Cindy. She is a scrappy street smart girl who is really good at dancing, but is mistreated by her two evil stepsisters and stepmom who never let her go anywhere."
"The two sisters are easy," Porsha said.
"Who do you have in mind, Porsha?" Buster inquired.
"Me." She said simply.
Remembering how bad she was at acting, all stayed silent until Meena broke the silence. "Are you sure?"
"Yep. Look, look. Watch me be mean." Porsha proceeded to command a nearby worker in a nasty voice " Where is my coffee?"
The worker jumped and ran. Startled, they all chorused "Porsha gets the part!"
"Wait, who's the other sister?" Nooshy asked.
"Ash."
"Um, what?" Ash looked up from her guitar, which she was tuning.
"Yeah, you seem like you could be mean enough."
"Well, I guess I could…no yeah I definitely can."
"Two parts down, a bunch more to go!"
" Now, who's gonna be the prince? We need a real soulful guy, someone who can seem like a bit of a romantic. Someone who would be absolutely blown away by Cindy's confidence and swagger."
"Do we know someone like that?" Gunter looked at everyone, who stared back at him.
"Yeah…I think we do." Rosita said slowly.
"Him!" Porsha pointed at Johnny.
"Me? Really?" Dumbfounded, all he could say was "ok."
"Now we need the evil stepmother."
Immediately, Meena jumped up and said, "I'll do it!".
Everyone stood silent. They had known Meena for so long, that it seemed physically impossible for her to be mean.
"What? You think I can't be mean?" she said, reading their expressions and knowing exactly what they were all thinking.
Even Porsha and Nooshy, who hadn't known her for as long, couldn't see her as a mean, selfish person. In fact, the thought made them all want to burst out laughing.
"Ello! Anyone hungry?" a male elephant walked through the door, carrying ice cream.
"Alfonso!" squealed Meena. The two had been dating for about six months now and were super happy. She rushed to hug him, and as she did, she asked him, "Do you think I could be mean?"
"Ummmmm, well, umm….." as he tried to think of something to say, he looked over at everyone else who mouthed "sorry" at him.
"Well, you could try!" he said cheerfully. "Anyway, I brought ice cream for everyone!" instantly he was surrounded by everyone, all of them clamoring excitedly.
"You act as you've never seen ice cream before!" Alfonso laughed. "Single file, ladies first!" he started to reel off everyone's favorite flavors, handing them out as he did. "Cherry cheesecake for Meena, chocolate for Rosita, Rocky Road for ash, pop-rock explosion for Porsha, chocolate-dipped strawberry with sprinkles for Nooshy…"
10 minutes later
"We really need to keep deciding roles.." Buster said as he ate his cone.
"But I don't wanna…" moaned Porsha.
"Must. Keep. Eating. Ice cream." Gunter was fixated on his cone.
"Come on, we need to get up or we're going to fall asleep! Like her." ash gave a little laugh as they all watched a snoring Nooshy roll off the couch after downing her ice cream.
"I'M AWAKE!" she screamed after hitting the floor.
Dying with laughter, they all finally came to their senses and Meena said, "For real this time, can I have the role?"
"Well, I'll let you try it out." the koala said after some thought. A while passed and they had finished nearly all the roles. "So the grumpy old king?"
"I'll ask Calloway," Ash said. "All we need is the main role. Cindy."
"Can we have a list of traits?" asked Rosita.
"Street smart, hates cleaning, amazing dancer, tomboy, feisty, a good heart."
"I think we know someone like that," Porsha said.
"Yup." the rest agreed.
"I don't follow. Who's got the main role?" asked Nooshy.
"You! Duh!" Gunter said gleefully.
"WHAT? NO!" she yelled. "THAT'S NOT HAPPENING!"
"Chill, Nooshy! You're perfect!" Ash said.
"PERFECT?! I CAN'T BE A PRINCESS! I CAN'T SING, CAN'T ACT!"
"Don't put yourself down like that sweetheart! There are vocal coaches for that and other things to help you." Rosita added.
"BUT I'M NOT EVEN PRETTY ENOUGH!" Nooshy moaned.
"Rosita's right, Noosh. You shouldn't put yourself down like that. You're pretty." Johnny said without thinking.
Everyone stared at him.
"What?" Nooshy blinked, absolutely shocked.
Realizing what he just said, "I uh…" is all that could come out of his mouth.
Oh gosh johnny, what did you do? anyways, have a fantastic day and pls review!
