Only 8 Days Left, Until The Big Day...

BGM: Daydream upon Neverland (From "Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep")

It's been a day ever since Cricket has performed a practice session for his friends, and the ultimate praise he got from it never left his head. He just kept on smiling, happy to start his day again.

"Hmm! You seemed happy there." His master smiled, knowing that Cricket is awake and in a happy mood right now.

"Hehe, yeah! That practice session yesterday was amazing for my friends to enjoy!" Cricket also smiled, who is really wide awake today.

"Well, it's best that you have other things to work on now before the big day. So, make sure you're prepared about what your friends are helping you with, alright?" Mantis encouraged, with the latter agreeing to this.

"Yes master! I'll be ready than ever!" Cricket saluted. He then exits out to his room, and out of his home, where he prepares to get his friends with him for many activities that will actually help him get more prepared about the Classical Music Festival.

As Cricket walks in the streets of Diamond City, waiting for his friends, He then gets a text message from Spitz. The message read:

Hey Cricket. Do me a favor and come by to our taxi. Me and Dribble might help you find a way to make you feel calm and get you prepared for the Classical Music Festival!

"Hmm... I wonder..." Cricket thought, as he thought about going there to get support from his best friend and his pal Dribble. Nevertheless, he shrugged and replied back.

Okay. I'll be there.

Cricket has also got his case with him, that also holds his violin and bow in there. He just wanted it just because if his friends need entertainment, he'll get his violin ready for it.

So, with his violin case on his side, he makes his way to Spitz's place, but most importantly, Dribble's Taxi.

"Ah! You're just in time!" Spitz gladly smiled, upon seeing Cricket arrive at their taxi. "Welcome!" Dribble welcomed Cricket, smiling along with his cat pal, Spitz.

"Heh, good day to you. I also have this with me in any case I want to play it and entertain your pal, Spitz." Cricket smiled back at them, showing his violin case to Dribble.

"Ah, I see. Spitz told me that you're participating in a festival and that he would come to see you there! Well I wish you the best of luck there!" Dribble gladly smiled, giving Cricket a handshake for good luck.

"Thanks!" Cricket thanked Dribble. "So Spitz, what's your idea for helping me be encouraged and help me get ready for the festival?" Cricket looked at Spitz, questioning how he can get through of performing in the festival without any problems.

"Well, that's going to be answered for you! Hop on in this taxi and you'll find out!" Spitz replied, gesturing their taxi for Cricket to enter. Cricket nodded his head in agreement, and entered their taxi as Spitz commanded in the back row, with the dog and cat duo entering the front row afterwards.

As the three of them entered and put on their seatbelts, Spitz started to explain to Cricket about his way of helping him with the Classical Music Festival.

"Every ride we have for our customers, we put on music to make this ride look relaxing and such. I thought that this might help you as well so you can be prepared for the Classical Music Festival!" Spitz explained.

"Well, that's fine with me!" Cricket smiled.

"Well, shall we begin a ride around Diamond City?" Spitz asked, with Cricket smiling and nodding his head in agreement. "Alright then!" Spitz looked at Dribble and commanded, "Dribble, start the taxi and the music!"

"I'm on it! Prepare yourselves!" Dribble starts up the taxi, and begins to put on music in the taxi.

BGM: Drifting Away (From "WarioWare: Mega Microgames")

"Wow... It seems like this song is perfect for me to play on my violin while in this ride." He thought to himself. He carefully opened his violin case, carefully put his violin and bow in position...

And he began to play it.

Dribble and Spitz noticed about the sudden sound of Cricket's violin and looked at him. The two looked at each other in confusion before smiling.

"Well, what do ya know! Cricket is pretty good at it!" Dribble smiled. "Yeah, he's really amazing at it! And this ride is going to be smooth and relaxing after all!" Spitz smiled as well.

"What could possibly go wrong with this ride?"

As those infamous words from Spitz emerged...

*BUMP!*

Stop/End Song

"WHOA!" All three of them exclaimed in shock. The radio also produced a very screechy noise and Cricket's violin produced a very off key, screeching noise as well, as the taxi entered a big bump that shakes their taxi on impact.

BGM: Blockade (From "Super Mario 3D World")

The taxi has encountered a big bumpy road without warning, sending the taxi into a shaky situation.

"Gaaaaaaah! Dribble! What's going on!?" Spitz yelled, with Dribble trying to find a way out of this bumpy road. "I don't know how this happened! But I'm trying to stop this mishap and get us to safety!" Dribble replied, trying to drive off this unexpected bumpy road.

"Wait! Let me do the honor!" Cricket stepped up, much to the shock of the dog and cat duo.

"Are you crazy!?" Dribble yelled. "You can't even drive a vehicle yet!" Spitz yelled as well.

Cricket cautiously put his violin and bow back to the case and carefully closed it, and then cautiously walked up to the wheel and sat on Dribble's seat, with the latter moving aside for Cricket to do the honor.

"Well then, you know what you always tell Dribble; stay cool." Cricket explained with calmness, with Spitz suddenly remembering about his tip he gave to Cricket.

As the duo watched Cricket, he stepped on the brake pedal on the taxi, causing the taxi to stop shaking as it slows down. Then he started it up slowly, getting the taxi off of the bumpy road, back to the straight road.

Dribble and Spitz couldn't believe their eyes. Cricket could actually drive a car to safety.

"Woah... I can't believe this..." Dribble stood there, looking speechless. "You'd actually stayed cool there... That was unbelievable!" Spitz also stood there, speechless, before jerking back up in amazement.

"See? Told you I could handle this situation myself!" Cricket winked at them, before realizing what he learned. "You know, you'd actually helped me there! I actually stayed cool from any problem and such, and I just stayed cool and calm, and actually focus on one thing at a time!"

"Well, it actually worked! Well, guess my tip actually helped you there with our situation, and you used it!" Spitz smiled.

"Yeah, we gotta thank you for that! If you didn't step in and helped us, we would have flat tires in the end!" Dribble thanked Cricket, with the latter smiling.

"Well, shall we continue our drive around the city?" Cricket asked, with the duo nodding their heads in agreement. The three entered their taxi, and Dribble started up the taxi, and with a change of music as well.

(Keep the song going to the end and don't read on of this line here until it finishes.)

As the taxi takes a relaxing drive around Diamond City, Cricket couldn't help but look at the amazing view of the sunset that's already arrived, and the buildings of Diamond City as well.

"Hey Cricket." Spitz gets Cricket's attention, with the latter looking at Spitz. "Your violin playing over our taxi's radio is really soothing to hear, so could you play that violin again over our radio while we drive around Diamond City?"

Cricket thought about it, and replied, "Of course." He took his violin and bow out of his violin case, positioned it, and with some time to prepare...

He played it again.

"You know," Spitz turned to Dribble. "It would be amazing if we have violin covers to this radio like what Cricket is doing now." "Well, one day, it might happen." Dribble smiled, with Spitz smiling back.

As they all have a ride around Diamond City, with Cricket's violin and the song on the radio setting the mood here, Spitz thought to himself.

"Cricket was always in our side whenever it comes to these situations, but, he still has that musical talent with him. It feels that we can do anything to solve our problems, as we have Cricket with us."

The taxi keeps on driving around Diamond City, while the three of them have a relaxing time in there, and most importantly, Cricket's violin playing along the radio's song.

It's already nighttime, and Dribble, Spitz, and Cricket has already got off the taxi, and Cricket is putting his violin and bow back in his case, closing it once the violin and bow are in there.

"Thanks for the ride Dribble and Spitz, but also, thank you Spitz for the tip there that I could use for the Classical Music Festival!" Cricket thanked Dribble and Spitz, but mostly Spitz.

"You're most certainly welcome there pal!" Spitz smiled. "If you ever need another ride, just remind me!" Dribble reminded Cricket, also smiling as well. "Heh, I'll be sure to remember it!" Cricket smiled back.

"Well, it's getting pretty late. Best that you go home now." Spitz told Cricket, noticing that it's already dark already. "Well, I'll be seeing you in the festival!" Spitz smiled.

"Alright! See ya!" Cricket waved back at Spitz and Dribble, with the duo waving back as well.

As Cricket leaves, Dribble and Spitz have a little conversation.

"You know, I bet Cricket would be amazing in the Classical Music Festival from what I can see from him and his violin playing!" Dribble looked at Spitz, commenting about Cricket and his skill of violin there.

"Well, I also heard that the festival will be recorded and filmed live on television, so be sure to tune in to that when it's the day!" Spitz reminded Dribble.

Dribble responded with a thumbs up. "You betcha Spitz! I'll be sure about it! Have fun at the festival!"

Spitz smiled, and soon looked up to the sky and spoke to himself, but also as a message to Cricket...

"Good luck out there Cricket. You'll be needing it."

Cricket has returned home, with Master Mantis greeting him.

"Welcome back! So, how was your day?" Mantis asked.

"It was pretty great! I had a lot of help from Spitz today, as he teaches me about staying cool, like how he used that tip for his pal Dribble as well!" Cricket explained his day to master.

"Ho-ho! I see you're getting the help from your friends! Nice! Well then, tomorrow's a bigger day, so I guess you can now go back to your room now and practice your violin as you please." Mantis commanded, which Cricket agrees and follows his master's order.

"Have a good night master!" Cricket waved at Mantis, as he goes back to his room, closing his door once in there.

Cricket relaxed on his bed, putting his violin case down as well. "Oh man..." He thought. "I'm still a long way until the Classical Music Festival arrives. But that day today has got me thinking... That drive on Dribble and Spitz's taxi and the music got me more encouraged as well."

He looked at his violin case, and smiled.

"Well, I guess I also learned something else." He thought again. "But still, that violin I use always gives me more comfort to give me more time to think more, and make me more prepared."

He opened his case, gets his violin and bow out, and looks at them.

"Well, there's always time for another practice before I sleep." He thought to himself.

He positioned his violin and bow, and played the most relaxing, but most beautiful tune ever.

"Every time I hear it, it just makes me more relaxed, more time to think. I bet it helps me a lot there." He thought, while playing his violin.

After about a minute playing with his violin, he then decides to sit and relax a bit. As he does so, he thinks to himself.

"Well, tomorrow will be another good day. Who knows what my friends have in store for me after all. After all, my friends will always be my audience for sure."

He smiled, and a little later, he puts his violin and bow away in his case, closed it, and then gets to bed, where he sleeps later on.

Tomorrow is another new day after all.
