Chapter 6: A New Idea
Over the next couple of days, Stacy tried to talk to Buster, but he was too busy with the theater and too hopped up on coffee. She had just finished writing a list of things the concession stand needed.
"Okay, I'm gonna tell Mr. Moon about the things we need, and try and strike up a conversation." Stacy said to herself.
But when she finally found Buster, she saw him talking to another female koala, and that there was a young koala girl with them.
Stacy's heart sank.
"He's married, with a kid?"
"I'm telling you Buster if you keep up this three cups of coffee a day, you're gonna hurt yourself." said Missy.
"But Missy, if I don't keep my caffeine levels high I'll start slipping and forget to pay bills and I'll bring the place down again." Buster told her.
"And I understand that, I'm just asking you to ease of it.
"I'll think about it."
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Stacy just standing there.
"Oh, hey Stacy, come on over I want you to meet someone."
Stacy trudged her way over.
"Missy, Cassia this is Stacy our newest employee at Moon Theater, and newest citizen to Animalia. Stacy, this is my twin sister Missy and her daughter Cassia."
When the words twin sister came out of his mouth Stacy quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hello." Missy replied, handing out her paw, which Stacy shook.
"Hi." greeted Cassia.
"Hi, it's nice to meet you two." Stacy told them.
"Well, we gotta get going. See you later Buster."
"Bye Uncle Buster."
And the two left out the stage door.
"That sister of mine, always worrying about me." Buster chuckled.
Suddenly Stacy remembered what she came to him for.
"Oh, Mr. Moon, I have a list of things we need for the concession stand." she informed, handing him the paper.
"I'll place an order for this stuff."
And he took the paper.
"So...how've you been, Mr. Moon?"
"Been busy, but I can't complain too much."
"Any ideas for your next show?"
"That's the biggest problem, Stacy. I'm not sure what kind of show to do next." he informed, as he paced around.
"I'm sure you'll think of something."
"Yeah, well I gotta place these orders and write out checks, see you later."
And he went up to his office.
"Okay."
Buster seemed to be too busy to notice her that much.
At lunch, they ate and talked.
"So Stacy, have you been able to see much of Calatonia?" asked Johnny.
"No, mostly I just come here and home." Stacy answered.
"Well maybe this weekend we could take you on a tour?" suggested Rosita.
"I'd like that."
Once everyone finished, they were throwing away their paper plates and utensils when Stacy tripped, but caught herself on the trash can.
"You okay?" Gunter wondered.
"Yeah I'm fine, sometimes I wish I had the grace of a beauty queen." she replied, as she stood back up again.
"Beauty queen." whispered Buster to himself.
"What was that, Mr. Moon?" Ms. Crawly questioned.
"That's it. Stacy you've just given me an idea for a new show."
"I did?" wondered Stacy confused.
"She did?" Mike wanted to know.
"My next show will be, drum roll please." Buster requested.
Ash used two plastic forks to do a drum roll.
"A beauty pageant."
The ladies of the group chatted excitedly about the thought of being in a beauty pageant.
"I better start planning it out."
And he walked back to his office, but before he did he stopped by Stacy.
"Thanks for the idea, Stacy." he said, giving her a pat on the shoulder.
Stacy blushed lightly.
"No problem, Mr. Moon." Stacy replied, as she rubbed her shoulder.
Rosita, Meena, Ash, and Ms. Crawly seemed to see how Stacy reacted, and they all looked at each other with pointed looks on their faces.
