Hola my Hunnies! Hope your day is enjoyable! And I hope it get's better by reading the first chapter of my song! Just gonna say this disclaimer real quick: I Choose (You) By Aliessa Cara doesn't belong to me. (Although I wish it was.) Anyways, enjoy it!

It was a peaceful and beautiful morning in Calatonia. Everyone was enjoying the weather and wanted to take advantage of it before it would rain later in the day.

 Well, everyone except Irene. Irene was a kinkajou, in her teen years, and she was... 

Alone.

There was an incident that happened 5 months ago in which made her an orphan. She tried to get a job but because she wore rags, her appearance wasn't up to standards, thus resulting animals that were store owners refusing to hire her. And even if she tried to go shop for a loaf of bread or buy a granola bar, the owners kick her out and threatened to call police and child services if she returned. So, she ended up looking for scraps of food to survive.

After another unsuccessful day for finding a job and food, Irene walked up to the direction to where an alleyway was. That's where she was living over the last 5 months. 

While she walked back to the alleyway, she walked past Moon Theaters. There was a poster shown of a musical that all the Moon cast were acting on. She saw the poster and slowed down to look at the image of the cast. But there was one particular person that had her attention. 

Johnny Egerton. He was dressed up in his costume from the galactic show that happened 5 months earlier, when Moon created the GREATEST musical show in Crystal Theaters. In Irene's eyes, he looked fierce and strong, to which she widened them with awe. Now, Irene wasn't like those fangirls who were madly in love with him. Instead, she wished for the millionth time that she would have an older brother that would look out for her, like Johnny for example.

She sighed and started walking again, looking at the sky that was starting to be covered with dark grey clouds.

Oh, boy. She thought. Better get to the alleyway, fast. She picked up her speed and headed to the all too familiar alleyway. Suddenly, lighting flashed, and then a roar of thunder followed. Irene gasped and ran to a huge box. She crawled in, and looked outside, sighing sadly, and letting a few tears fall from her eyes.

I miss you guys... I miss you all so much...

Johnny Egerton was in the Moon Theaters along with his crewmates and friends and they were on the stage, waiting for Buster to come back with their checks.

There was Rosita Reces, who was a pig and a mother of 25 kids with a husband named Norman.

Gunter Kroll, who was also a pig, but a dancer, and has a German accent. He is a really enthusiastic pig and likes to think things with a positive attitude.

There was also Meena Kelly, an Indiana elephant, who had stage fright but managed to overcome her fear, and is dating an ice cream parlor, who was also an elephant named Alfonso Williams. She had an amazing singing voice that broke the stage when Buster held a talent show when the crew first met the first time, which helped overcome her fear.

Mike Seth was a small white mouse with an arrogant attitude, but he also was a gambler. Once he managed to pay a huge debt to a gang of grizzly bears, he was able to join the crew back. His attitude changed, but slightly. Now he's a little less spoiled and a little more polite.

Then there's Ash Johansson, a female porcupine, who was also a tomboy rocker. She dumped her ex, Lance, when he cheated on her for another porcupine and she was finally in a better mood. She managed to stand up for herself and let her name be known by working hard without her ex.
