Twenty6

Music Or Art?

"So..." Wyatt mummbled as he walked away from his group of friends. "So they want to bring up my song again?" Wyatt put his hands in his pockets and walked along with a look of disgust on his face. As he walked past the malls bulletin board a poster caught his eye. "Think you have what it takes to be in a musical? Try out for Downtown Theatre's Musical." Wyatt read the poster. "I'll show them" Wyatt said to himself, "I'm gonna udition tomorrow and when I become big they'll be bowing at my feet."

That night Wyatt stayed up really late preparing a monolouge to read at the audition, just in case he needed something prepared. He searched everywhere for the perfect monolouge and ended up with a small part from "The Glass Menagerie" by Tennese Williams. He thought he would be able to do Tom's part forsure.

The next day Wyatt went Downtown to one of Toronto's biggest theatre companies. While he sat waiting for his number to be called so he could audition Wyatt grabbed a piece of paper and started to doodle on it. There was one other guy in the waiting area and he became very interested in what Wyatt was doing.

"Hi" the guy said scooting closer to Wyatt. "I couldn't help but notice you have a great talent for drawing."

Wyatt smiled, "Thanks!"

"My name's Jeff Gibson" Jeff reached out his hand to shake Wyatt's. "So, have you been drawing long? Are you in to draw up the poster for the show? Are you going to show your drawings for the little cartoon segments being showed on the screen between the show."

Wyatt thought Jeff would NEVER stop with the questions. "No no, I'm here to audition. It's a musical and I can sing so I figured I would try out."

"Oh..." Jeff looked disappointed. He was so happy when he first saw Wyatt's doodle and his smile soon turned around.

"Number 23" a woman called from the doorway.

"That's me" said Wyatt jumping from his chair, looking just a little nervous. "Time to audition."

"Break a leg" said Jeff, still with a frown on his face.

"Thanks" said Wyatt as he walked very nervous into the audition room, following the woman unto a stage.

As soon as Wyatt got out unto that stage all his butterflies were gone. He noticed that the house lights weren't on and the way the lights were set up, he couldn't see any of the people wo were judging him. He started his part, making it seem very convincing. If you never knew any better you would have said that Wyatt had a father who skipped out on him and his sister and left his mother depressed. Wyatt thought the audition was going great. When he finished the house lights came on and revealed two judges, both looking disappointed.

"There was no music, no singing" said one judge.

"Dang, I didn't know any musicals," Wyat said. "I... I can sing something for you now if you want."

"NEXT" yelled the other judge.

"But, aren't you going to give me a chance?" Wyatt looked very sad now.

"Your time is up" said the first judge. "The theatre waits for no one, get off the stage, you're wasting our time... LEAVE!"

Wyatt hung his head and walked off the stage very depressed. As he left the audition room he ran into Jeff again.

"I watched your audition the whole time" Jeff smiled at Wyatt. "It was amazing, but the theatre is demanding."

"You're telling me" said Wyatt with a tear in his eye. "They were brutal."

"Well, here's my business card" Jeff handed his card to Wyatt. "I have to run but take a look at it and if you consider working with us, give me a call. We would be very previliged to have you on our team!" Jeff smiled at Wyatt and then turned and walked out the door in a rush.

Wyatt held up the card and read. Jeff was the creator and manager of a cartoon company. He noticed that they had produced various shows for YTV and the Family Channel. Wyatt started to get excited. He didn't realize that Jeff was a big producer of Canadian Cartoons.

When Wyatt returned home he picked the phone up right away and called Jeff's office number.

"Hello?" A woman picked up on the other end.

"Um, this is... am I talking to... is this the office of Jeff Gibson?" Wyatt stuttered.

"Yes, it is, you're talking to Marion, his secretary. Is there something I can help you with?" the lady on the other end had a very friendly voice.

"I was wondering if I could speak with him?" asked Wyatt impatiently. He really wanted to get in contact with Jeff to find out what exactly he wanted him to work at with him.

"What is your name sir? Only people with appointments are allowed to be put through to him." Marion said.

"This is Wyatt, I dunno if I ahve an appointment but I ran into him today and he gave me his business card" said Wyatt.

"Oh yes, you're the artist he's been bragging about. I'll put you right through to him, please hold" Marion hung up and the regular hold music started to play.

"Hello? Jeff Gibson speaking..." Jeff picked up the phone.

"Hi, Jeff... This is Wyatt" Wyatt didn't really know what to say.

"WYATT" Jeff sounded excited. "So, have you decided to look into my offer."

"I was actually wondering what you wanted me to do, I have been really considering it and I'm glad someone finally noticed me for my artistic side."

"Well, you see, since I run a cartoon company Downtown Theatre hired me to find talent to draw the cartoon segments being shown on the over head screen in the theatre during the show. I saw you but I never refered you to the theatre like I was supposed to."

"WHY NOT?" Wyatt yelled. "Was it because I seemed so unsure at first?" Wyatt was full of questions. Had he just ruined his big break?

"No no" Jeff chuckled. "We found talent for the theatre, but not talent as great as yours. We saved you for ourselves. We want you to come and work with our company. You see, we have a new concept passed before us. We have the story of a great Cartoon in the making. It's called Mystic Maniacs. It's almost a Looney Tunes meets Power Rangers type show and it's gonna be airing on YTV. We would really enjoy if you could come in and pass a few ideas before us. You may even get the job of being the artist on the show. Of course, I hope you know these things take time and we won't really know if you have the job for about a year when production will start on the show."

"Oh, yes... yes... yeah, I'll do it... for sure... tomorrow I'll bring in some sketches for you to see... wait, I don't know what the character's are suppoed to be like..." Wyatt got so carried away he didn't really know what he was saying. This could be his big break, he could be the artist on a cartoon airing on national television.

"Oh yeah" Jeff chuckled. "We got your e-mail address from the audition application, I am sending you a script right now. Thanks for your interest and see you tomorrow Wyatt."

"Thanks so much bye-bye" Wyatt hung up the telephone. Before he got a chance to put the cordless on it's base he ran to the computer and opened his e-mail. There is was, Jeff Gibson had sent him an e-mail with the subject "Script". Wyatt couldn't believe it. He was on his way to becoming famous, if things worked out right. He sat there reading the script and spent the whole night drawing up designs for the four main characters in the pilot episode. By the time the morning came Wyatt was beat, but he pushed on and went and got a shower. He got ready and ran down the street to catch the first metro bus downtown. once there he found Jeff Gibson's office and went inside with his fingers crossed, hoping for the best. He described his character designs and Jeff seemed very interested. After his meeting, Jeff seemed very pleased and kept reassuring Wyatt that his designs were good, possibly the best they had seen out of the 20 people who passed their ideas by them. Then Jeff introduced Wyatt to Sabrina.

"Sabrina is our intern student. I think she may go to your high school. I figured I would introduce you two to each other since you'll be working together." Jeff smiled.

"What do you mean working together?" Wyatt asked. "I haven't got the job yet."

"Oh, but I know you'll have no problem" Jeff smiled. "Now I'll leave you and Sabrina alone to get to know each other. I'm sure you'll be great friends!" Jeff left the room.

1 Year Later

Wyatt and Sabrina became really good friends. The hung out all the time and in school they were classed as the artsy fartsy people. Wyatt didn't care though because he felt a strong attraction to Sabrina. He wasn't the one to get attracted to the blonde girl but Sabrina was different. He saw that she was smart and that loyalness and trustworthyness could be seen in her beautiful blue eyes. After a year of hanging out Wyatt and Sabrina decided to take their relationship one step higher. Wyatt asked Sabrina out on a date and Sabrina accepted. But that wasn't the only breaking news to be revealed on the night of their date.

"Wyatt..." Sabrina said with a depressed look on her face.

"what is it?" Wyatt asked in concern.

"well, I dunno how to tell you this..." Sabrina looked close to tears. "I dunno how to tell you this but... Mystic Maniacs was just passed, it's gonna be aired in the fall and you have the animation job" Sabrina shouted with excitement. "I fooled ya didn't I? I had you going... You thought I had bad news!" Wyatty hugged into Sabrina.

"OH MY GOSH" Wyatt said as he started to cry tears of happiness. "Are you serious? I can't believe it. After a year of waiting I almost gave up on whether YTV would pick up the cartoon or not, and now I have to go into the studio and draw the first season!"

"Yes, Jeff told me yesterday to tell you, but I waited until tonight I knew it would be the cherry on top of this wonderfully sweet night!" Sabrina hugged into Wyatt tighter but Wyatt pushed away. Sabrina looked him in the eyes and Wyatt looked angry. "What's wrong? was it the Ice Cream joke?" Sabrina looked confused now.

"Got'cha back" Wyatt smiled at Sabrina and the went in for a kiss... a kiss that was long and passionate. This relationship was built on love, trust and loyality, it was one that Wyatt knew would work!

4 Years Later

After a 4 season run on YTV, Mystic Maniacs was dropped. Although it wasn't YTV's most popular show, it did do well in it's four year run. Wyatt was crushed to hear that this show was being cancelled but he was sort of happy. The storylines had started to run draw and he knew it was time to hang up his pencil. After the news that Mystic Maniacs was being dropped, Jeff came to Wyatt with other news.

"We've got a contract with Teletoon. They saw your animation style and they love it. Right now we have a story in progress. Alien detective who runs into earthlings, Ghost, Mutants and other Aliens. Think you can handle it?" Jeff smiled at Wyatt. "You know, you've been my greatest worker and you never complain. I'm always telling the other workers are good you are. You've done me proud in your 4 years here. Please accept this offer." Jeff was basically pleading with Wyatt because he knew Wyatt was his best employee.

"Sure I will!" Said Wyatt excited. "I was going to hang up my pencil and move unto something different, but I think it was just Mystic Maniacs that I was tired of, I'm willing to try something new though. Besides, I need some job to pay off the ring I just bought for Sabrina. Oh Jeff, you don't understand how greatful I am to you for introducing me to her. She's the greatest girl int he world and now I am popping her the big question."

Jeff got a tear in his eye. "Wyatt, since you guys have been here I have felt like a father to you, now it's like my children have grown up. Go get her!" Jeff patted Wyatt on the shoulder. "Also, I am giving you a raise on this cartoon. I know how much my kids loved Mystic Maniacs and there was never a flaw, you deserve the raise. Not only that, I know how hard it can be raising a family, I have three kids of my own. You're soon gonna be engaged and I wanna look out for you as well, and Sabrina too. So, make me proud! Teletoon is willing to pay bigger bucks for this cartoon is everything goes well."

"I'll do you proud!" Wyatt smiled.

5 Years Later

After a 4 year run on Teletoon, Alien Detectives was cancelled. It was one of the highest rated cartoons on Teletoon and Canadian Children could never get enough of Marty and his Martian Warrior friends. The reason it was cancelled was because Wyatt had a better offer on Treehouse where he was going to be drawing an educational kids cartoon. Wyatt had a kid on the way and so he decided he wanted to do this project more. He knew that now it was important for him to look out for his family. The job he had now took him back to the Galleria Mall. It was so long since Wyatt was a teenager that he couldn't really remember what it was like hanging out at the mall. Since his new cartoon was based on a bunch of friends who had adventures in the mall he decided it would be best to go and observe a bunch of kids.

At the mall Wyatt went up to Stick It so he could get a small lunch while he sat in the food court. While standing in the line up Wyatt heard someone say his name behind him, when he turned he saw a familiar face but who was it?

"NO WAY, It's been SO long, where've you been?" Wyatt asked the person who he saw.

Sorry this Chapter was SOO long. I'm trying to shorten these chapters up a bit but I'm also trying to get in as much info as I possibly can. I hope everyone likes this chapter. Once again i spent a long time working on it so PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE give me reviews. I didn't get many for the last chapter, but leave some love (or hate) for this one!
