On the 24th, Lucy had a poem reading. She didn't mind Luke not coming to see it as she knew he was a busy guy.
She smiled, getting ready.
Meanwhile, Luke and the boys got interviews as fans cheered when they saw them. Atticus waved.
Meanwhile, Lucy read some poems. People loved it as Lucy smiled and bowed.
Meanwhile…
"Katana!" Kat and Ana say as they kick some robbers. Some shoot at them, but they dodge and toss shurikens at the guns. They then kick the robbers.
"Let's go out for ice cream." Kat says.
The next day, Minako was getting ready. She had to promise her parents, who hadn't met Luke, to take her studies a bit more seriously.
She was at the arcade with Usagi.
"I thought you 2 were going to be more serious." Ami asked.
"Not now." Usagi says. Ami sighed.
Later, Minako showed the girls her stage outfit
"Wow…" Ami says.
"Beautiful!" Usagi says.
"I'm so ready!" Minako says.
The next day, Minako was suffering from pre-show jitters. "Minako…Hello?" Usagi asked.
"She's too scared." Rei says.
They arrive at the dressing room.
Meanwhile "We are screwed…" N says, scared.
"No, you got this." Uzi says.
Meanwhile, Minako was nervous as she was about to be interviewed.
"Hello, Miss Aino." Gemma says as Minako was tongue-tied. She tries to speak.
"Is everything okay?" Gemma asked. But Minako rushed out.
Meanwhile, Emma was eating snacks like usual.
"Don't get your dress ruined." Skara says.
Oliver and Cynthia were getting ready.
"Okay, guys, we can totally win." Jax says.
"I think Jax and Jack are gay." Reilly teased.
"Still can't believe those Chipmunks fought a werewolf and we weren't there…" Melony groaned.
Minako was walking backstage, nervous.
"This was a big mistake, I'm not ready for this." Minako tells herself. Luke then appeared with the boys.
"My, my, my, don't you look lovely tonight…" Luke says with a smile. "You'll do great. I can feel it." He then kissed her hand and gave it a few reassuring pets, making her giggle.
"Thanks, Luke." Minako said and kissed his cheek as he blushed.
Soon Dave appeared on stage with Braxton and Gemma. Fans cheered.
"Hello, everyone!" Dave says. "Welcome to the second season of All-Star Talent Showcase! This season is going to be just as wild as the first, and that's saying a lot!"
"You got that right, Dave! This season is going to have some wild twists and turns and talent rolled into it! And the stakes are higher than ever!" Braxton says.
"This season, there will be prizes for 4th, 3rd, and 2nd place, all amazing in their own ways. But 1st prize will consist of a $500,000 cash prize, an all-expenses-paid trip to a beach destination of the winner's choice, a recording contract with Brian McKnight of Overknight Records, and of course, this season, first prize also gets this!" Gemma says, gesturing to a customizable tour bus.
Fans cheered as the teams all gasped with surprise. N looked nervous.
"We will start with 40 teams, but by season's end, we will end up with a final four." Dave says. "Tonight, there will only be two eliminations to start."
"But before that happens, be reminded that revenge plotting and sabotage will cost your team a lot, including their spot in the next show, so be mindful of the show rules." Gemma says.
"Now let's get this show started!" Braxton says.
"The first team up is a team that got a weird robotic upgrade. Please give it up for the cosmic buddies!" Gemma says as Alem tuber, Alex, Jack, and Reilly came out with N and Jax. Fans cheered as Jax winked.
"Hey, didn't we use one of Jax's songs?" Garth asked.
"Shoot, Jax is in this…Huh?" Hal says.
They performed as fans cheered, going wild. Uzi smirked.
"OH, YEAH!" N says as Alex smirks and smiles. Savannah giggled.
Soon, Dave comes on stage and introduces the cups. Now, you can tell college changed them in different ways, based on who you look at.
Mugman was a lot more confident, wore cooler clothes, experimented with different milks (almond, soy, and coconut milk are his preferences), and was a tougher fighter. He was also a killer vocalist.
As for Cuphead, he just became a bit more mature and learned to have thicker skin, and also learned to be more considerate. He also looked a lot more attractive.
"Cuppy and Mugsy!" fans chanted.
They came on with Chalice and The Hot Slice Experience. They came on as N looked a bit nervous, thinking he'd be eliminated first.
Girls fainted at the sight of Mugman. Mugman sang lead as they performed "Love Me Normally" by Will Wood, much to the fans' delight.
They soon finished to a roar of applause.
Meanwhile…
"You made that?" Kali asked Cynthia.
"Yep, with Oliver's help." Cynthia says.
Hunter smiled as Cynthia helped him in his costume
Soon the Cups came off stage and soon the Chipmunks were on next. Fans cheered seeing them.
"They're good." Sasha says, getting ready. They performed "Juicy Wiggle" as fans danced along. They soon finished as fans cheered.
Then Lisa, Beau, Tina and Beatrix performed "Bad" by Michael Jackson. Fans cheered. After that, the Foxes with Cynthia and Hunter came on stage as fans cheered.
"Wow!" Willow says, watching them perform.
Meanwhile, Angry Luigi was getting ready "Why did I agree to this?" He asked.
"Because you love me." Emma says
"Technically you lost a bet." Bill says.
"And he loves his sisters." Emma says.
The Foxes smirk as they finish. Girls faint at the sight of them.
"You're amazing!" David says.
Soon it was commercial time. The others were chatting and stuff.
Chalice sighed. "The Bottle Boys are gonna perform…ugh!" She says.
"Who?" Luke asked.
"They're from our world." Chalice says.
"Cool." Pauline says.
Cloudia swung her feet giggling. Minako drank some soda.
"We're performing too, boys." Kara told the boys. The boys laughed and walked off.
Later, the break ended as New York Sound was next.
"Good luck." Savannah tells Melony. Melony smirked.
Fans cheered, seeing them come on stage. They performed "Ghostbusters" as fans screamed in joy.
They soon finish as Melony spat exploding seeds, causing fireworks.
"Ladies and gentlemen, coming up are the stars you've been waiting for…the Musibros!" Gemma says as girls scream.
Luke's siblings cheered. Shelby and Shiloh cheered for Shane.
Angry Luigi cheered for Atticus. So did Bella, Bianca, Beth, Ipkiss and Marry.
Garth's parents cheered for him. Minako cheered.
The boys launched into "Everybody (The Musibros Are Back)", a song they worked on for the show.
(A/N: Crumbelina's Sweet Admirer: That's basically a cover of the Backstreet Boys original. It's amazing.)
Girls screamed for them. Minako couldn't help but feel pressured since, well, this was her first time on a big stage and kids always made fun of her.
"Go, Atticus!" Angry Luigi cheered.
"Get a life." Melony says to him. Angry Luigi strategically ignored her, and for once, she couldn't do anything to make him listen to her.
The boys soon finished as the whole arena was screaming.
After that, Anne, Sasha and Marcy performed a remix of "Heartstomper" as fans cheered.
Angry Luigi sighed as he had to team up with Emma and Skara and Skara's friends.
Alem tuber snickered and laughed. Angry Luigi took out a mallet, but Savannah stopped him.
Meanwhile, Minako was outside as Luna checked on her.
"Hey, dudette, we're on next." Luna says.
"Are you all right?" Sam asked Minako.
Minako shook her head. "I've had it rough. I killed my last 2 boyfriends who were evil and I've died before, and I'm not that good, and I'm not that smart." She sighed, unsure.
"Minako, you can do it!" Usagi says. "We've saved tuniverse before. This should be easy."
"You're right." Minako said and got ready.
Gemma got on stage "Ladies and gentlemen coming up are the moon goats!"
They soon came on stage as Minako sweats but got enough confidence.
"Silent–just keep silent and, well,
Sorry–she won't fall in love!
Set on it more actively!
Throw a kiss to a shy heart
(Venus love me chain!)
If you lose the goddess of love, it's a half-done method, and that's no good.
For a textbook example of how to love,
What should you do, to tickle and warm
Things up, until all becomes smiles?
Minako twirls around.
"Picture this: When the meeting you desire happens,
The Crescent moonlight of a gentle night sky
Is watching over you continually…
If a rainshower, given by the goddess of love,
Might by chance happen to fall, then to Fall in Love
The Timing is Now! Hug her shoulders
And the heart that is pounding
Will NOT only be yours.
Start slowly, with sweet-talk,
With slapstick, make her smile even more;
Step up more positively,
Wink at your Sweetheart." Minako sings
(Love and beauty shock!)
Minako winks at Luke, who smiles warmly.
"The goddess of love is capricious; maybe
Things will not progress along a straight line.
For a textbook example of How to Love,
When the chance comes for warming things up
Until all becomes smiles, what should you do?
If she is becoming timid, well, picture this:
She's with you now, a Crescent Love moon
Is becoming full, and then from here…
With love, don't rely on a timid appearance,
It may yet be that she will Fall in Love–
The timing is now! Gaze at her intently,
And the heart that is pounding
Will NOT only be yours." Luna sang as she and Sam do a guitar duo.
"Picture this: When the meeting you desire happens,
The Crescent moonlight of a gentle night sky
Is watching over you continually…
If a rainshower, given by the goddess of love,
Might by chance happen to fall, then to Fall in Love
The Timing is Now! Hug her shoulders
And the heart that is pounding
Will NOT only be yours." Minako sang.
Minako hugs her shoulders, then does a split.
"WHOO-HOO!" Usagi cheered.
The crowd went wild as Luna did a stage dive.
"Crescent Moon Goats!" fans chant as Minako cheered. She went backstage, sweating.
"Eeee! I was so cool!" She squealed.
"That was quite a rush!" Luna says, beaming alongside her bandmates. Minako giggled.
The Foxes, Hunter, and Cynthia got ready.
"Good luck, sis." Cecilia said as Cynthia smiled. They went on stage, performing "Better Place" by N'Sync as the crowd danced and sang along.
Willow cheered as they soon finish.
Melony got ready and she and Garrett shared a quick kiss before heading out on stage with the others. They performed "No Sleep Till Brooklyn" by the Beastie Boys..
The Bottle Boys performed "Don't Stop Me Now" as they twirl and smirk.
The Trillion Triplets then performed afterwards. Then the Chipettes.
The Bard Experience went next as they performed "Rock You Like A Hurricane". Fans cheered. Then the Musigirls showed up and performed "Waterfalls" by TLC. Fans cheered and screamed for them.
Soon, the show ended as Zee kissed Oliver Queen.
"You were amazing!" Makato says.
"Thanks!" Minako says "You know the saying, eat peaches and get stronger." Everyone sweatdropped.
Minako hugged her friends. "Thanks, you guys." Minako says. "Anyway, gotta suit up so I can do promo shots for my arcade game."
"Bottle Boys…" Chalice grumbled.
"You were great." Pomni tells Jax.
"Told you there's more to me than pranks." Jax says.
"He gets me." Jack says.
Makato watched everyone split up as she sighed and headed off.
"We were awesome!" Barbara says.
