Rehearsals Part 1

Through the night, Rosita worked a construction around the appartement so she could go to the rehearsals. In the morning, she came out and walked towards the theatre. In her children bedroom, the alarm clock rang and fell from a stack of books so it opened the curtains waking up the piglets.

"Good morning, everybody. Now, I want you all dressed before breakfast.", a record with Rosita voice said.

In the kitchen, the construction was made that in each bowl it poured the cereal then the milk. The kids cheered as they ran to the table and ate their breakfast.

"Rosita, have you seen my car keys?", Normal asked as he came down the stairs.

"Don't forget your keys are in your coat pocket."

"Oh, I found'em. Bye, honey.", he took the keys from his pocket and went out the door.

"Bye, Norman. Time for school!"

The kids ran towards the door as the construction picked up the sheet from the table. The construction gave each kid the backpack.

"Bye, Iggy. Bye, Perry. Bye, Carla. Bye, Gail. Bye, Rory. Bye, Micky. Bye, Moe. Bye, Nelson. Bye, Hannah. Bye, Tess. Bye, Kelly. Bye, George. Bye, Andy. Bye, Freddie. Bye-bye, Caspar."

Caspar closed the door as the construction locked it.

Rosita walked around the town as she saw the theatre and went in. All the contestants were on the stage.

"This contest is war! This stage is the battlefield. Your song is your weapon. Now you only get one shot to blow that audience away, so choose carefully from the list of songs I've selected for each of you.", Buster said as Miss Crawly handed the sheets to the contestants.

Buster then observed that Ash came in, "Ah, talked some sense into that boyfriend of yours?"

"Lance is an artist, but I wouldn't expect you to understand that."

"You're right. I don't understand that at all.", he confirmed handing Ash her sheet.

His words made Ash wide-eyed but she ignored it.

"Now, you'll notice each list also includes my costume and performance suggestions. Okay? Miss Crawly will show you to your rehearsal spaces. Now, let's get to work!"

Johnny looked at his sheet seeing something which made sceptical and ran up to Buster, "Excuse me, Mr. Moon. For some reason, it says here that I should be playing the piano?"

"Yes, just imagine, big, soulful guy like you tenderly playing the keys. There'll be goosebumps everywhere."

"Well, I haven't played piano since I was a kid."

"Oh, don't worry about it, my sister, (Y/N), will help you. Just go up the stairs and then first door on the left. There she will be."

"Oh, okay."

Following Buster's instructions, Johnny went up the stairs. Arriving at the door, he looked inside and found (Y/N) sitting behind the computer.

(Y/N) was on the computer working on the flyer for the singing competition. Then it knocked on the door. Not looking, (Y/N) yelled, "Come in."

The door opened, "Miss Moon?"

She looked up seeing Johnny in front of her. Thinking about the past, she calmly breathed in and out to not freak out.

"Hello, Miss Moon, my name is ..."

"Johnny, I know. I chose you, didn't I?"

Nervous, Johnny scratched behind his neck.

"Yes, you did."

"What can I do for you, Johnny.", (Y/N) continued to work on the flyer.

"Well, Mr. Moon said that I should be playing the piano at the competition but since I haven't played since I was a kid, he said that you will help me play the piano."

Hearing those words, (Y/N)'s fingers stopped as one continued to press one of the computer keys so that letter appeared all the way down the document. Johnny saw that (Y/N) didn't move.

"Ehm, Miss Moon?"

Coming to her senses, (Y/N) realised that the document had the same letter all the way down.

"So my brother said I will help you play the piano?"

"Yes, that's what he said."

(Y/N)'s eyes narrowed in anger.

Meanwhile downstairs, Buster was trying to stop the frog group from arguing.

"Hey, hey, hey, hey, break it up, break it up."

"Oh, yeah? Tell Ricki! He started it!", Howie complained

"That's right! Just like I started this band! My band, Howie!"

"Oh, forgive me, your highness!"

Suddenly music started from rehearsal room next to the frog rehearsal room. It was the red panda group.

"No, no, no. Hey! Get out! Get out of here!"

Even if (Y/N) said they could rehearsal here, Buster didn't want them in the theater right now. He goes to the window, knocked on it and shook his finger to say no. Instead the leader mimicked him and the rest did too as they continued to sing.

"Look, just calm down and pick a song.", Buster finally said as the group stopped arguing.

Upstairs in the office, (Y/N) still had her eyes narrowed in anger.

"Did I do something wrong?", Johnny asked.

"No, you did nothing. Will you excuse me for just a moment?"

She stood up and walked towards the door.

"Oh, and do me a favor, close your ears because it's going to get really loud right now.", she said before she walked out.

Buster! Now you went to far!

"BUSTER!"

Thank you so much for your patience, my dear fans. I am so so so so sorry for the long delay. My semester abroad in Belgium was so stressful that I didn't have time to update. Also I didn't had time because of the exams.

Since I am done with the semester and the exams, I am on summer vacation now. So I have much time now to continue updating.

And I want to say thank you to @PariSesha18 for the first comment of this book in the previous chapter.

Next chapter update: tomorrow.

Comment if you like. No insults.
