So this is it! The first chapter of my Sing story is here! Before we begin, I just want to make a quick shout out to ItNeedsMoreGays for being my inspiration to write this story. She has a story called "I've Gotta Be Me!" It's like the first movie but it starts off back in highschool where her OC, Steff Pearce and Ash first meet before the plot of the movie comes, Steff had a crush on her and she really wants to share her feelings to Ash but when she met Ash's boyfriend, she became devastated and they went different waves. Few years later, around the time Buster was planning the singing audition, Steff met Ash as a rockstar she wanted to be and she was still with her boyfriend. I've decided to make a story like this but in my way. Hope you enjoy and I hope ItNeedsMoreGays gets to read this! Enjoy!
The scene opens up with an opening of the sky. The camera pans down to a theater where animals are seen entering. They take their seats in preparation for a play.
"Places everyone." Stage manager said as a backstage manager turns on a heavy blown fan from the other side as the Young Nana Noodleman starts singing.
A young Buster Moon is seen sitting with his father looking amazed at the theater
"This was it. The moment it all began. The moment an ordinary little guy fell in love with theater. Everything about it: the lights, the way the scenery moved, even the smell. He was only six years old, but his plans to become the first koala bear in space were suddenly... toast." A voice, also known as Buster Moon, said as the scene changed to Buster, grown up at the grand opening of the Moon Theater with his father and friends. "Some folks may have said he grew up to be the greatest showman the city has ever seen. Some called him a visionary. A maverick." He said as the scene changes to Buster Moon's office, where Buster Moon is seen. "Sure some folks said he was as crazy as he was stubborn, but I say wonder and magic don't come easy, pal. And oh, there would never be any doubt. The name Buster Moon would go down in entertainment history. And I should know, because I am Buster-". He was interrupted by someone pounding on his door.
"Moon! Open this door!" the voice said as Miss Crawly entered Buster's office. "Good morning, Mr. Moon." she said.
"Miss Crawly. What, uh,...what's going on?" Buster asked.
"You got a lot of animals waiting to see you, Mr. Moon." Miss Crawly said.
"I do?" Buster said as he goes to his window and peeks through his closed blinds and sees a group of angry animals waiting and pacing in the hall outside his office. Knocking and shouting continues throughout.
"Yeah, it's the stage crew from your last show. They say their paychecks bounced." Miss Crawly said.
"Tell 'em I'll call up the bank and make sure they're paid, tout suite." Buster got out of his seat.
"Oh. I got Judith from the bank holding on line 2 right now, sir." Miss Crawly said.
"Um, actually, I'm going to have to call her back." Buster said as he grabbed his bag.
"Oh. What should I tell her this time?" Miss Crawly asked. "Tell her Buster Moon is out to lunch!" Buster said as he moved a picture that was hanging on the wall, revealing a hole and went inside the hole and paced through his theater.
"Moon, open this door! Come on, Moon! I know you're in there!" the angry chimpanzee said as Buster exits the theater present day: a little worse for wear and squeezed between two larger, more modern buildings. We can still hear the angry animals shouting his name as Buster hops on a bicycle and cycles off down the street. He speeds down the street, nearly hitting a GARBAGE TRUCK. Buster swerves, avoiding cars. "YIKES." the garbage truck driver yelled as he quickly put both feet on the brakes, almost hitting Buster. A Rhino Cop directing traffic with a shrill whistle. A Pig rides a scooter over a canal bridge under which a whale surfaces momentarily. "Hey, watch it!" the pig said. Salmon wearing neckties leap up water-filled steps... WHOOSH... as Buster bikes down the same steps.
We find ourselves at the end of an alleyway where we hear the beautiful, soulful voice of a gorilla singing ACAPELLA: "The Way I Feel Inside" by The Zombies. You would think these tender tones emanate from a sensitive creature. Johnny was a gorilla with a blue shirt and black vest on with some jeans on. He was leaning and singing, while also being on the lookout. Him, his dad and some others were part of a gang and right now, his dad and others were robbing a bank.
Johnny's singing was interrupted by the sound of a radio static from his right. He takes a peek and sees two Rhino cops walking towards his direction, while eating donuts. He quickly ran behind a wall near him as one of the cops walked past the alley, while one cop stopped and looked around.
"I thought I heard someone singing there. Ah, whatever." The cop said as he continued walking past the alley.
Johnny then hears the alarm from the inside going off, meaning his dad and others have robbed the bank and started heading their way out. He quickly pulls out his walkie-talkie and starts speaking quietly so the cops near him don't hear him.
"Guys listen, stay where you are! The cops are here-" Johnny was quickly interrupted by two gorilla burglars leaping from the window above. The cops race to the alley and start chasing after the crooks.
"Hold it right there!" one police officer as he continues chasing after the crooks. The crooks were wearing rabbit masks and blue outfits. The gorillas get in their side truck. And then drove off the alleyway and curved into the streets. Johnny takes off after them, trying to get on the truck. His dad grabbed his arm and pulled him onto the truck.
"Johnny! You were supposed to be keeping a lookout!" Dad said.
"Sorry Dad'' Johnny apologized.
"And where's your mask!?" Dad said. Johnny quickly pulls out his mask and then puts it on.
As the chase continues, a roaming view zooms across town to a house. In the kitchen, a pig mother named Rosita, is singing "Fireworks" by Katy Perry as her piglets crowd the table behind her.
Rosita stopped singing when one of her piglets got on the table and started mocking her.
"Look at me, I'm Mommy. La, la, la, la!" The rest of the piglets were laughing at the way Casper (the name of the piglet mocking Rosita) mocked her.
"Casper, get off the table, '' Rosita told him kindly. Rosita's husband, Norman, came into the kitchen with a brown suit and a tie on.
"Rosita, have you seen my car keys?" He asked. Rosita tosses the car keys to her husband.
"Norman, would you please tell them what a good singer I am?" Rosita asked.
"Oh, yeah, you were great!" Norman said as he kissed her on the cheek, while being distracted on his phone.
"By the way, the bathroom sink is blocked again. Bye honey." He continues as he walks out the kitchen and leaves the house, while still being distracted on his phone. Rosita starts to frown as she walks up to the window and then turns up her song she was singing earlier on the radio near her.
In a dark club, two porcupines start playing their rock guitars and start singing a song they wrote called "I Don't Wanna". One of the porcupines was the lead singer and his name is Lance. The other porcupine was a backup singer and her name was Ash, Lance's boyfriend. After about 30 seconds into singing, Ash got too hyped and kicked her microphone stands off stage and went up to her boyfriend's microphone and sang into his. Lance tried to push her away but she kept coming. Sooner later, the bar manager unplugged their guitars that were hooked up to the speakers and the porcupines looked at the manager.
"Oh my gosh, I thought you guys said you were musicians." the polar bear said. They eventually pack their guitars and the rest of their stuff and start heading out.
"Ash, babe, I'm the lead singer, okay? Just stick to the backing vocals." Lance said.
"Sorry I-I got carried away." Ash apologized.
"Yeah, I know right. It just ruins my song, ya know?" Lance said.
In another house, a teenage elephant named Meena has just started lighting up candles on a birthday cake, while the rest of her family is singing happy birthday to her grandpa. She blows out the match she used to light the candles on the cake and starts carrying the cake to the dining room.
As the family started singing happy birthday to their grandpa, someone dimmed the lights in the dining room as she closed her eyes and started singing the rest of the song very lovely. When she got done singing, she opened her eyes and saw everyone was staring at her.
"What? Come on, make your wish." she said.
"I wish you'd join a choir, a local band or something" Grandpa said, grumpy.
"I tried." Meena said. Grandpa groaned.
"Dad! We've been over this." Mom said.
"So she's a little shy. So what? If I had a voice like Meena's, I'd be a superstar by now! Just singing." Grandpa said as he sings poorly, trying to copy Meena's singing.
"Sure you would, Grandpa. Now blow out your candles." Meena said as Grandpa uses his trunk to blow out the candles.
The scene changes to a railroad subway. On the steps, Mike the mouse is playing with his saxophone. A baboon notices his saxophone playing and flips a penny in his case. Mike stops playing and looks at it.
"A penny? How dare you! I happened to have studied at the Lincoln School of Music!" Mike said angrily.
"Sorry, that's all I've got." Baboon said.
"Oh, is that so?" Mike asked before he leaped on the baboon and grabbed him by the collar and took him down to the ground.
"Empty your pockets, right now!" Mike yelled into the Baboon's face as the baboon started emptying his pockets and then accidentally pulled out his inhaler and then dropped it.
"What's this you got here? You smoke outta this?" Mike said. "That's my inhaler!" Baboon said as a wad of money fell out of his pocket.
"Aha! I knew it!" Mike said as he grabbed the wad.
"You all saw it! You all saw it right here! The monkey lied!" Mike said as everyone else around them gasped. Mike takes out the penny out of his case and puts the wad of money in his case.
"I forgot I had that." Baboon said as he quickly picked up his inhaler and started using it.
"And next time, pick on someone your own size, ya bully!" Mike said as he flicked the penny back at the baboon and then Mike continued playing his saxophone.
