Sing: The Era of Music

Chapter 3: Sing

Everyone prepared for the performance and Buster approaches them. "Okay, everyone. This is it. Time to go out there and express yourselves on that stage. You've all worked so hard to get to where you are today and I'm proud of you all for that." said Buster as everyone smiled. "Good luck, Mr. Moon!" said Rosita. "Good luck, everyone!" said Buster as he heads to the stage. Rosita and Gunter were first and they perform their song-and-dance combo, which finally prompts her husband, Norman, to notice her talent. Dozens of more animals are drawn to the theater when the show is broadcast on the news. Johnny's performance greatly impresses his father, who escapes from prison to reconcile with him and apologize. Ash sings her original rock song "Set It All Free," impressing Lance, who was watching her on TV. Mike, who had initially refused to perform for free, is taunted into returning and gives a stunning performance but is found and chased away by the bears. Meena overcomes her stage fright and delivers a performance which literally brings down the house. Finally, it was Chris. "Ladies and gentlemen, as you all know, two weeks ago the famous singer, Queen, has tragically died in a car accident. It was a heartbreaking loss for the music world. Especially her family." said Buster. "Aww." said the audience. "But that's all going to change as this singer will sing a song that he wrote as he dedicates this one for her. She was his idol, his inspiration, a mentor and most importantly...a mother. Please welcome to the stage, her son, Chris!" said Moon as the crowd cheered. Chris then walked to the stage as the crowd cheered loudly. He looks at his necklace and inside he looks at the picture of his mother when he was born and slowly closed his eyes."Sing. Your heart will carry you through. I will always be with you, my little boy." she said in his thoughts. Soon, the music began and the lights dimmed, performing the song "Tejedores de illusion".

His father proudly smiles as he watches his son performs. "That's my boy up there!" said Malcolm as everyone cheers him on. Buster and the group too cheers Chris on as they vibe with the music. As the song ends, there was a loud roar of cheers from the crowd.  "Wow! We just witnessed the rise of a second generation singer! Give it up for Chris!" said Buster as everyone cheered loudly. The others joined them on stage and gave the crowd a bow. Chris then slowly looks down. "Hey, what's with the lone face? You did amazing. They love you." said Rosita. Chris weakly smiled. "Uh yeah, thanks Rosita. Appreciate it." said Chris. "Is something wrong?" asked Meena. Chris then slowly begins to shed tears. "I just...I just wish she was here to see this. She would've been happy." said Chris as he started crying. Everyone came to his side. "Well, you have us, Chris. Ever since we first met you, you're a really sweet person and we're always here for you if you ever need anything from us. Just like you did for us." said Buster. Chris smiled. "Thanks everyone. I love you guys." said Chris as they were all touched by his words and hugged him. During the celebration, Buster sees Nana in the audience as she whistles and claps after seeing the others sing. Buster bows to her as he smiles. The next day, Nana bought the area for Buster and throughout the weeks, construction workers were fixing the Theater but this time with new improvements. Finally, it was complete. Malcolm and everyone else joined Buster and the Troupe at the photoshoot. "Alright everyone, places! All creatures great and small! Welcome to the New Moon Theater!" said Buster as they pose for a picture. Later on the day, Chris and Malcolm visit his mother's grave. "She's very proud of you, son." said Malcolm as he patted his back. Chris smiled. "I couldn't have done it without you or Mom." said Chris as he hugs him. He then placed his hand on the grass and slowly closed his eyes. "Thank you, Mom. For everything." said Chris as he felt the breeze of the wind flow against his face. He then felt a presence behind him and hears a soft whisper. "Your welcome, sweetie. Just remember...I'm always with you." said the voice as Chris smiled and opened his eyes. With that, Chris fulfilled his promise to Queen to continue her legacy and now Chris started his own. "Come on. How about we go out to eat and sing a song in a car together like we used to?" said Malcolm. Chris smiled as they got in the car and sang the song "Stop, Drop, Roll." Then a flashback shows the family singing the same exact song and drove off into the city.
