Chapter 13: Found
By the time April came everything was falling into place. The rehearsals for the pageant was going great, Ash had moved all her belongings into Michael's apartment and put her place for sale.
Buster was slowly coming off his coffee addiction, and Stacy was gaining confidence from practicing for the pageant, and was enjoying her new friends. All the others in the contestants were looking forward to the pageant, but they were still wondering about Stacy.
She got freaked out when she saw Meena's grandpa's cane, she got scared and very apologetic when she accidentally spilled water on Rosita, they noticed some of the bruises on her that looked like they were healing, and she didn't really talk about her past life in Creatropolis.
"You know I think I might know what's up with Stacy." said Ash, as the women gathered at the theater for rehearsal.
"What would that be?" asked Nancy.
"I mean think about it, she has healing bruises, she's afraid whenever she slips up or makes a mistake, she doesn't talk about her past. I think she's running away from something."
"That would explain things." Rosita replied.
"And I think I might know what that something is."
A while later, Stacy finally arrived at the theater, and went backstage to where the other women were.
"Hello, everyone." she greeted.
"Hey, Stacy, can we talk to you real quick?" asked Meena.
"Uh, sure." Stacy answered a bit confused.
Meena then led Stacy into one of the dressing rooms, where Ms. Crawly, Rosita, Nancy, Missy, and Ash were waiting for her.
"What's going on?"
"Stacy, we know why you left Creatropolis." said Nancy.
Stacy got nervous, how could they know.
"What do you mean?"
"You're running away from your boyfriend." Missy told her.
"My what?"
"Hey we understand, no woman should ever have to be with a controlling abusive boyfriend." replied Ms. Crawly.
"Listen that's not..."
But Ash spoke up, and stopped her.
"Hey, it's okay, I once had a jerk for a boyfriend, it can be hard."
"But I..."
"We just want you to know if you ever need anything, or someone to talk to or stay with, we're here for you." Rosita said sincerely.
Stacy looked at the others, who gave her assuring looks. Feeling touched by the offers, she told them that she'd keep that in mind.
When May 24 came, the women were ready for the pageant. They were finishing a rehearsal, when Mike came in.
"Hey, Moon, ladies, Nancy." he greeted.
"Oh, hey Mike what're you doing here?" asked Buster.
"I just came to pick Nancy up, but that reporter Bob is out there, I guess he's hoping to get some interviews."
"Interviews? Well in that case rehearsal's over."
Excited, the women quickly got off stage, and went outside.
"I'm standing outside the Moon Theater, where tomorrow night the Miss Calatonia Pageant will be held. And here are the lucky contestants." said Bob into his microphone, as the women came out.
"Let's see if we can get some interviews."
In Creatropolis, Mr. Supil was sitting in his easy chair watching TV.
"How could that girl just run away?" he complained.
"Look at this place it's filthy, I've had to cook my own food. If I ever see that girl again..."
Suddenly on the TV, he saw her, being interviewed by Bob.
"Well, it's a big honor to be in the pageant. I don't think I'll win, but it feels nice to try." she said into the microphone.
A grim smile grew on Mr. Supil's face.
"So you ran away to another city eh?"
He clicked off the TV, grabbed his cane and walked out the door. He went down to the bus station, and bought a ticket.
"One ticket to Calatonia." he requested, giving the ticket worker the money.
"Here you are sir." said the worker, handing him the ticket.
He then boarded the bus, and rode to Calatonia. He was going to Calatonia and he wasn't going back home without his servant.
