Chapter 3: In Calatonia
Back in Calatonia the next day, Michael decided to take Ash out to lunch while she was on her break. He took her to Les Calmars, a fairly expensive place. He gave his keys to the valet, and the two went inside.
"Welcome to Les Calmars, may I help you?" asked a chimpanzee host.
"Yes, we have reservations, name's under Michael." said Michael.
After looking at some papers, he led the two porcupines to their table.
"Gee Michael, how'd you get a place here?" Ash wondered, as Michael pulled out her chair for her, and she sat down.
"I got connections, one of the waiters used to work at the catering company with me."
After ordering they began talking about their work, how Brianna was doing, and random stuff. When a waiter brought out their entree, Michael spoke.
"Hey, Ash I've been thinking about something lately."
"What's that?"
"Well, we've been dating for a long time now, and I was wondering..."
"Yes?"
"Would you want to...move in?"
That made Ash look at Michael with wide eyes.
"Move in?"
"Yeah, you know you come to live with me and Brianna at our apartment."
"Wow, Michael...I don't know what to say."
"I'm sorry, was this a bad idea, I was just thinking..."
"No, I just need time to think about it, first."
"Oh, okay, I understand."
The two finished eating, and Michael took her back to the theater for rehearsal. As she got dressed in her costume, she couldn't stop thinking about what Michael had offered.
She felt like she really needed some advice, so she decided to ask Rosita for help, considering she was married. She walked to her dressing room, and knocked on the door.
"Come in." said a voice from the other side.
"Hey, Rosita?" asked Ash, coming in.
"Hi Ash, what's going on?"
"I was hoping for your advice."
"What's up?"
"I was at lunch with Michael, and he asked me to move in with him."
"Really, that's so nice."
"Yeah, but I don't know what to tell him. I mean how old were you when you first moved in with Norman?"
"Well I was at least 21, but if you really like Michael then go for it."
Ash smiled a little, and thanked her.
"Everyone to the stage please, everyone to the stage." called Ms. Crawly, through her megaphone.
"We better get on stage." Rosita told Ash.
And they left the room. Everyone got on stage, where Buster stood in the audience.
"All right everyone, this is the last dress rehearsal before our play tonight, so let's make this perfect." he said.
Meanwhile, at the bus depot, Stacy was just getting off the bus.
"Wow, so this is Calatonia." she said, as she walked out onto the sidewalk.
She began walking down the street, now that she was in Calatonia, she needed a job and a place to stay. She looked around for help wanted signs in windows, but unfortunately she didn't.
"This isn't going as well as I thought I would."
As she was walking she spotted Moon Theater, and was amazed by it.
"Wow, what a place."
Suddenly Buster came out through the doors, on his cell phone.
"Well how bad is it?" he asked over the phone.
"Right in half, well just stay off your feet, I'll work something out."
And he hung up, and rubbed his eyes in frustration.
"Um, excuse me?" Stacy wondered quietly.
Buster looked up at her.
"I couldn't help overhear you, and is everything okay?"
"No, the front of house for my theater broke his leg, now he can't work, and tonight we're putting on a show, it's a disaster."
Suddenly an idea popped into her head.
"Well, I need a job, perhaps...I could be your front of house?"
"Really you know how to be a front of house?"
"Well no, but I have been a waitress for the last couple of years."
"That's close enough. Come with me."
He grabbed Stacy's paw, and took her inside.
"Oh, I'm Buster Moon by the way, I own this place, and you are?"
"Stacy, Stacy Supil."
"Well Stacy, I'll introduce you to Miss Crawly, and she'll show you the ropes."
They went backstage, and found Ms. Crawly looking over her clipboard.
"Ms. Crawly." Buster called.
"Oh, hello, Mr. Moon."
"Ms. Crawly, this is Stacy, she's going to be filling in as our front of house, would you mind showing her the ropes?"
"No problem. Come on Stacy I'll show you want you need to do." Ms. Crawly told her, walking to the where the chairs were, and Stacy followed.
"Looks like I found me a job." Stacy thought to herself.
However back in Creatropolis, Mr. Supil was in a fit rage when he realized Stacy was gone.
"Where could that girl have gone?" he asked himself, as he sat down in his chair after wrecking the place.
After calming down, he put on some clothes, and grabbed his wallet, he was going to find that girl if it was the last thing he did.
