DM77's Sing Chapter 5
Night Before Rehearsals
We come Ochaco's home where she is in the kitchen with her mom making muffins, she had told her family what happened and she was still upset by it, they were watching the news which of course was covering the contest.
Kent on the screen said as the contestants exit "And you can see the lucky few, leaving the theatre behind him and now back to the studio"
Ochaco's mom turns the TV off as it was upsetting her daughter more and said as she takes some muffins out the oven "Oh honey, please don't cry, you are not a failure. There will be other chances. You just..."
"Hogwash!" Max said as he stood at the doorway, he took the news the hardest but in a more upset angry way "The heck there will"
"Dad please..." Ochaco's mother begged as she wasn't sure this is what Ochaco needed
"Come on Ochaco, don't you want this?" Max asked his granddaughter
"I mean sure but I messed it up" Ochaco said sadly
Max enters the kitchen and said "Then you got to go back down there and say 'Mr. Kermit, I demand you let me re-audition' you have to be confident and show him you are not going be pushed around by some guy in a white coat. You understand Ochaco?"
"Um..." Ochaco said not sure how to respond to that
"Good, now I will take these and wait on my coco" Max said taking some muffins and exits leaving a bemushed Ochaco and her mom.
We then come to Duncan and Gwen's apartment and Duncan was on the couch playing his guitar and singing.
Duncan: I won't sell out for nobody
Won't follow no fool
Gwen who entered with some popcorn looked annoyed as the song was directed at her, she told Duncan she was going to go thorugh with the contest but her boyfriend obviously took it badly
Gwen places the bowl on the table and said "Would you please stop? I will only be doing it for us"
Duncan chuckles and said "Really?"
"Yes really" Gwen said as she cleans up the potato chips on the couch as she explained "If I won that money we could build our own recording studio, start our own label. I mean the whole world can hear your songs.
Duncan however chose to continue his mocking song
Duncan: I'm not listening to my girlfriend
Cause she just wants to sell out
Gwen groans in annoyance and leaves the room.
We then come to Roman and Neo on a street corner doing there usual thing, Roman playing the sax while Neo held a cup for money.
Soon a blond haired woman known as Mercy passes them and Roman notices and stops playing in amazement and said "Wow..." He then follows her and begins playing a smooth romantic jazz which Mercy enjoyed.
Neo seeing this was a bit jealous but not too much smiles as she follows the two.
The three come to a nightclub that and while Mercy was allowed to enter Roman and Neo were stopped by the bouncer Chef. Roman said trying to get past "Wait...just a minute...Hey!" Mercy looks at him and smiles before continuing seeing the smile Roman smiles and said "Awwww look at..." Chef cuts him off and pushes Roman back and Neo catches in. Annoyed Roman said to Chef "Hey I know Chris the manager. He'll vouch for me come on!" Chef shakes his head
"Hey Chef!" A voice called out and the look to see three cars transform and begin to walk in, they were Barricade and his two Vehicon companions. Barricade smiling said "How is it going?" Chef allowing them passage.
"Oh you got to be kidding me?!" Roman said in disbeleif annoyed as was Neo as they watch the three walk in "Oh sure let the Decepticons in, let the Decepticons in fine!"
Neo begins pulling Roman away but the man plays his sax badly to Chef as they left, this wasn't over.
We then come to Mondo as he just got back to the garage and entered smiling at his success at getting in.
"There he is!" Bane is heard saying and Mondo looks to see his uncle along with Clayface and Nabbit and Mondo was aware this was a meeting for there next heist. Bane smiling motions him and said "I've got a surprise for you nephew"
Mondo approches and asked "What is it?" He takes a seat in front of a map of the city with markers representing elements of the plan but he wasn't sure on it.
"Clayface, tell him the plan" Bane said smiling wrapping and arm around his nephew
Clayface nods and said as she showcases on the map "Well we have been told there is a shipment carrying 25 million in gold that is going dock at night here." He moves the boat to where it is docking "With the usual guards here and here" He moves red pieces representing the guards "But lucky for us there is a sewer right here" He laughs excited for this "So the getaway driver meets us here" He moves three pieces, the gold piece and the truck piece to the meeting point
Bane picks up the truck piece and gives it to Mondo and said "and that is going to be you this time Mondo."
"What? Wait...you want me to drive?" Mondo asked surprised at that
"Si, I think it's high time my nephew had a proper role in the gang right?" Bane said nodding
"Wait...hang on. Uncle, Nabbit has always been our getaway driver" Mondo pointed out
"Oh Nabbit doesn't mind, do you Nabbit?" Bane asked as he looks at Nabbit
Nabbit looking like it does said "No...No it's fine"
"Yeah" Bane said nodding
"So when exactly is this ship coming in then?" Mondo asked curious
"Sadly we have yet to get a date for it's arrival" Clayface said shrugging
"Probably not for a while through, right?" Mondo asked
"But why do you care?" Bane asked him, "This will be the last job we ever have to do. When it comes in, we go before the bat or cops get a hint. Right?" He goes for a fist bump
"Right, I'll wait" Mondo said unenthusiastically as he leaves confusing Bane.
We then come to Nicole who was on the phone as her three kids were brushing there teeth. She was on the phone trying to arrenge a nanny care for her kids and there friends who come over.
"Hello, I need a nanny, just for a few weeks" Nicole said and listens on the phone and smiles "You can! Great. The kids? Oh they are wonderful there are three mainly but also several of there friends who come over so around 25 in total….no I am no joking. But there really no problem" There was a disconnect sound "Hello? Hello?"
"Good night Miss mom" Darwin said as he heads upstairs.
Nicole however sighs, how was she going to get someone to care for the kids. Just then a very tired and exhausted Richard walks in. Nicole seeing him asked "Hey how was the big meeting?"
"Ugh...I couldn't understand what was being said" Richard said handing his jacket and briefcase to her and goes to the fridge
"That bad huh?" Nicole said concerned she smiles and said "Oh I got something really excited "I have something really exciting to..."
Richard cuts her off passing her carrying a full pie and said "Your pie is the best dear" He goes to the living room
Nicole sets Richard's things on the counter "Listen Richard, I am aware it is short notice but I could really use your help with the kids tomorrow, because...well you are not going to believe what I did today!" She pulls out the flyer to show him but getting no response she asked "Richard? Are you listening to me?"
Turns out Richard had fallen asleep on the chair in front of the TV. Whatever his job actually is, it has tired him out. However Nicole looks down and leaves back to the kitchen in her mind she remembers what Kermit said
"Rehearsals begin first thing tomorrow morning" The Kermit voice said as Nicole looks at the flyer "So get some sleep and dream big dreams….dreams…..dreams…."
It was then Nicole had an idea as she goes to the cupboard and searches through and pulls out a drill and a model train. Smiling she began working through the night on her way to take care of her family while also doing her potential big break.
Come morning it was done and Nicole quickly leaves while everyone was still sleeping. We see an alarm clock then when it rings it sets off a contraption that opens the curtains waking up her kids.
As they wake up it plays a tape recorder of Nicole saying "Good morning everybody, I want you all dressed before your friends get here for breakfast.
At breakfast time we see more of the contraption that looks like it was out of something from Chitty, Chitty, Bang, Bang as Gumball, Anais, Darwan and there friends who were let in rush to the table to have breakfast.
Richard comes down and without even looking into the kitchen asked "Nicole, have you seen my car keys?"
"Richard don't forget, your keys are in your coat pocket" The recording of Nicole said
Richard checks and indeed they were "Oh found them, bye dear" Richard said and leaves
"Bye Richard" The recording replied and after he left said "Time for school" The machine began clearing the table and handing the kids there backpacks and saying "Bye Gumball, bye Anais, bye Darwin, bye Penny, bye Carrie, bye Leslie, bye bye Bobert." Once hey were gone it threw a tennis ball to shut the door and locks the door.
Nicole had really memorized her families pattern of the day as she, her real self smiles and heads for the Muppet Theatre to start her first rehersal. She was going to do her best to win this.
Well the stories are progressing but will they be complicated or will it be smooth sailing? We will wait and see.
