Chapter 5: Meeting the Crew

On the night of the play, Michael met Ash at the front doors, with Brianna in his arms, because she had fallen asleep.

"Hey, enjoy the show?" asked Ash, as she walked up to them.

"Yeah, you were a great villager." said Michael.

"Flatterer." she replied, rolling her eyes.

"Come on, I gotta drop you off, so I can get Brianna to bed."

"She's definitely knocked out."

They went out to his car, and after putting Brianna in the back seat, they two got in.


As they drove, Ash spoke.

"Hey, Michael, I've been thinking."

"Yes?"

"I've put a lot of thought into your proposal, and I think I would like to move in with you and Brianna."

"Really?"

"Yeah, I mean it's been kinda lonely at my apartment anyway, and you always say you could use an extra hand with Brianna."

"That's great, I'll tell Brianna about it in the morning."

When he came to her apartment, the two kissed, and Ash went inside. When they got to their apartment, Michael carried his little sister up to their apartment, and tucked her into bed.


The next morning, Brianna woke up, got cleaned up and changed into new clothes, and went into the kitchen. Michael had already poured her a bowl of cereal.

"Morning, Michael." said Brianna.

"Hey, Brianna, eat up."

As she ate, Michael brought up the topic.

"Brianna, remember when I talked to you about Ash moving in with us?"

"Yeah."

"Well, I brought it up with her, and she accepted last night."

"That's great, when is she coming?"

"We haven't decided on a date yet, but we'll figure it out. Now finish up, so I can get you to school."


At Moon Theater, Stacy was just arriving today was her first official day of work. She went inside, and Buster and Ms. Crawly were talking to his cast members. She felt a bit shy, as she was coming in last.

Buster turned his head, when he heard footsteps, and smiled when he saw her.

"Hey, there you are, Stacy come on up." said Buster.

Stacy slowly walked up onto the stage.

"Everyone, meet our newest front of house, Stacy."

"Hey." Ash told her.

"How you doing?" asked Johnny.

"Nice to meet you." Rosita replied.

"Great to meet you." added Gunter.

"Hi, Stacy." greeted Meena.

"You again." remarked Mike.

"Welcome to the crew." Eddie welcomed.

"Hi, glad to meet you all." replied Stacy, shyly.

"Well today, we'll just be practicing, while I figure out what to do for the next show." Buster informed.

Everyone went to their quarters, Stacy just stood there. There really wasn't anything for her to do, so she decided to just to explore the theater. It was a really great place, and she saw and heard the music and dancing of the others.

"Wow, they're really good." she admired, as she watched Gunter and Rosita dancing.

But as she took a step, she fell flat on the floor, knocking over a broom. The noise got the two pig's attention, and they walked out of the room to make sure everything was all right.

"Stacy, are you all right?" wondered Rosita.

"Oh, yeah, I'm fine." assured Stacy, as Gunter helped her up.

"You took quite a fall." observed Gunter.

"It's no big deal, I fall down all the time. I'm a bit clumsy."

"So Stacy, where are you from?" asked Rosita.

"Creatropolis." Stacy answered.

"Nice place, what made you come to Calatonia?" Gunter questioned.

"Uh...I just wanted a new start." Stacy said, she didn't want them to know she ran away from her abusive father.


When lunch time came around, the catering company that Michael worked at came around, and dropped off their lunch. After getting her food, Stacy looked for a place to eat, when Eddie called her.

"Hey, Stacy, why don't you come sit with us?" he suggested.

"Really?" asked Stacy, as she walked over to the table they were seating at.

"Hey, take a seat." said Ash, referring to the empty seat by her.

She sat down, and soon started joining the conversation.

"I hope Mr. Moon can break that habit before it turns into something big." mentioned Meena.

"What habit?" Stacy wondered.

"He's becoming addicted to coffee." explained Johnny.

"Yeah, he's becoming as jittery as a mouse doing the jitterbug." remarked Mike.

They continued talking, and Stacy was enjoying herself. It was fun to be with such nice animals.


That evening, as Stacy was leaving she said goodbye to everyone, and was walking out the door, when she tripped and fell again.

"Whoops, you all right there Stacy?" asked a voice.

She looked up and saw Buster.

"Uh yeah, I'm okay." said Stacy.

He reached his paw out, Stacy took it and he helped her up. She had to admit, Buster was very nice, and kinda cute. As she walked back to her motel, she hoped she could get to know Buster better.
