A/N: Welcome to the first chapter of "Note".


3rd POV

The Story starts in a theatre's opening night with 'Epiphany'. The curtains opens, and the show begins. Nana Noodleman was singing.

Once there was way to get back homeward
Once there was a way to get back home.
Sleep pretty darling, do not cry.
And I will sing a lullaby...

Buster Moon begins talking, as the scene goes to him and his father.

"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." Buster said.

The scene changes to him grown-up, standing in front of the theatre, holding a pair of golden scissor, and he cuts the red ribbon.

"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. 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." Buster said.

The scene changes to the present, as he was talking to us.

"And I should know because I am Buster..." Buster said, but got interrupted by door knocking. "Moon! Open this door!" Someone said, from the other side.

Ms. Crawly came into Buster's office. "Good morning, Mr. Moon." Ms. Crawly greeted. "Ms. Crawly. What, uh,... what's going on?" Buster asked, as he heard noises.

"You got a lot of animals waiting to see you, Mr. Moon." Ms. Crawly said, as she was stirring her drink. "I do?" Buster questioned, as he look outside.

"Holy moly, I really do." Buster whispers to himself, as he saw a bunch of animals.

"Yeah, it's the stage crew from your last show. They say their paychecks bounced and-" Ms. Crawly said. "Tell 'em I'll call up the bank and make sure they're paid, tout suite." Buster said, as he got off the drawers.

"Oh. I got Judith from the bank holding on line 2 right now, sir." Ms. Crawly said. "Um, actually, I'm going to have to call her back." Buster said, as he grabs his bag.

"Oh. What should I tell her this time?" Ms. Crawly asked. "Tell her Buster Moon is out to lunch!" Buster said, as he went out through a hole in the wall.

Buster got on top of the stage, and lowers himself down.

Buster went out of the building, with a bicycle, and begins riding through the road. He went through a bunch of people, and went pass an alleyway.

In the alleyway, Johnny was singing a song. "The Way I Feel Inside by The Zombies"

🎹In your mind, could you ever be, really close to me?🎹
🎹I can tell the way you smile.🎹
🎹If I feel that I, could be certain then, I would say the things I want to say to-🎹

Johnny's singing was interrupted, as he heard radio static, and saw cops. He quickly hid behind an object.

 "I thought I heard someone singing there." A cop said, as he look at the alleyway. "Ah, whatever." The cop said, as he went away.
