Sing: The Era of Music

Chapter 9: Showtime

After prepping things, it was time for Buster and his singing cast, as they were about to perform on the biggest extravaganza stage of all time. "Alright everyone, get ready it's showtime!!" said Buster. Johnny performed "Sky Full Of Stars" with all the confidence, thanks to Nooshy, as a jealous Klaus tried to undermine him, but Johnny finally earns his respect after he defeats him in a duel. Meena performs "I Say A Little Prayer" as she managed to visualize Darius as her crush, Alfonso and after her performance, she managed to be confident enough to ask Alfonso if he wanted to meet up with her after the show, he agreed. Porsha performs "Could Have Been Me". During her number, Crystal and his men arrived until Big Daddy and his goons took care of his security while Crystal sneaked in. He tried to get Porsha offstage. "Porsha!" said Crystal as she looks at him. "Get off of there! Don't make me come out there!" warned Crystal as she stood him up, taunts him and walks back to the stage, infuriating him. "You traitor. That's it! I'm coming out there!" said Crystal as suddenly Chris rams him to the ground, causing him to fall in a cage under the stage. "What the?" said Crystal as he looks up at Chris. "Sorry buddy. But your going nowhere near her." said Chris as he pulled a lever. "Why you!!" growled Crystal as the door was shut on him. Chris looks at Porsha as she was having fun on stage and she looks back at him as he winks at her. As she finished, Porsha watched the crowd cheered, earning the adoration from them. Next was Gunter and Rosita performing "Break Free". Jerry, meanwhile, managed to break Crystal out from the cage as he ran upstage. Everyone watched Rosita struggling to jump from the plank. "Come on, Rosita." said Chris. "Chris, look out!!" yelled Meena as Crystal grabs Chris by his throat and takes him to the lift. Everyone chased them but it was too late. "Daddy, stop it!" yelled Porsha as she watches her father on the lift with Chris. "I got you now, you loser!" growled Crystal. "No sir. I'm not a loser. I'm someone who loves to sing and actually cares for Porsha unlike you. Suki told me everything you said to Porsha, your own daughter. Besides, we did what we came here for and there's NOTHING you can do to change that." said Chris. "I can do whatever I want!!" said Crystal as he pushed Chris down and his necklace fell off. Porsha watched in horror. "CHRIS!!!" she yelled. Rosita takes notice and finally manages to jump and save Chris. The group cheers as Chris was safely dropped on the ground as he looks at Rosita, recovering from shock. The necklace continues to fall down as it vanished. Crystal tried to take the lift down but Suki prevents him to head down and Big Daddy then grabs him. Chris then makes his way down to the others where Porsha tends to him. "Chris!" said Porsha as she hugged him tightly. "Are you ok?" asked Porsha. "Yeah. I'm good. A little shook but I'm good." said Chris as Buster approaches him. "Chris! Are you alright?" asked Buster. "Yeah." said Chris. "Come on! You, Ash and Clay are next!" said Buster as he got ready. The trio got ready as they were inside. "Alright, Clay. This is it. It's your cue." said Chris but as he looked at him, he was nervous. "Oh no. It's been to long." said Clay. Chris knowing what he has to do, nods at Ash as she heads to stage to lead a crowd on a rendition. "Clay, listen...I know what it's like to lose someone I love. When my mother died, I was scared. I wanted to hide from the world but that isn't what my mom would want. So instead I chose to do what you love. I chose to sing for myself and her. And as long as I remember her...she'll always be with me. And so will Ruby." said Chris as he held his shoulder. "She would want you to do the same. Do it for her." said Chris as Clay slowly smiled and held his shoulder. "Your alright, kid." said Clay as he smiled back. Meanwhile, Ash lead the crowd to sing "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For." As the crowd sang along, Chris and Clay stood on the walkway, where the ghosts of Ruby and Queen would walk beside them, smiling. Soon, Chris and Clay would join her. Everyone sang along with them as the others look on. Then afterwards, the song transitioned the song "El Duelo" a song Chris sang with his mother when he was a child. He began to sing and Clay and Ash followed with the tune on their guitars.

(I think this song is like another perfect song for a show closer. As usual, I DO NOT own this song. It belongs to it's rightful owners, La Ley and the people behind it)

Then, slowly as he sang, Queen's ghost would appear next to Chris as they both sing the song together. The rest of the cast watch on and the crowd cheers for him as they vocalize together. Porsha turns to her left and sees something shining on the stage. As the song ends, the crowd loudly cheers as Clay admires the audience. He looks at Chris, who responds with a smile and nod. The others came together as they celebrated. Porsha hugs Chris tightly as the whole group joined the hug. Clay then approaches Chris and gives him a hug. "Thanks, kid." he said as Chris smiled and hugs him back. "No problem." he replied. "Come on, gang. Let's go to the final call." said Buster as they headed to the curtain and all held hands. Everyone looks at Buster with smiles as the curtain rises, seeing the cheering crowd and the confetti flying over them. Chris then approaches Calloway, while he admired the audience and raised his arm up as the crowd cheered even louder. For the legendary singer, Clay Calloway and the son of a late legendary singer, Chris. They all took a bow to the audience but as they rose, Crystal came out. "Thank you. Thank you. Too kind. I appreciate it. Look, I'm really proud. We did great work here. Right, Moon?" said Crystal but when he turned to face Buster and the cast, they were gone. Everyone laughed at him, leaving him humiliated. He then turned to see Suki with officers. "Officers, arrest that wolf." said Suki as they arrested him. Everyone was outside watching Crystal go to the police car. Everyone but two left. It was Chris and Porsha. "So this is your new family now, Porsha?" said Crystal. Porsha was furious, she stepped in front of him and slapped him hard in his face. Leaving everyone in shock, including Crystal. "Porsha? You slapped me!" said Crystal. "YOU ALMOST KILLED HIM!! MY BOYFRIEND!!" yelled Porsha as she cried. Chris gasped after he heard what Porsha said. Crystal was silent. "Porsha...I" said Crystal. She puts her hand up as she took a deep breath. "I never want to see you again. Never. And I'll never forgive you for what you did and said." said Porsha as the cops take him away. She then hugs Chris tightly as she cries on his chest. Chris comforts her as he sighed deeply and looks back at Crystal being taken away. He then sees him mouth the words 'Take care of her'. Suki then approaches the couple. "Well Porsha, it seems you made your choice. Just remember you always have a friend if you ever need anything from me." said Suki as Porsha approaches her. "Thank you, Suki. For everything." said Porsha as she hugs her tightly. Suki then approaches Chris and held his hand. "I trust that you'll keep her safe and out of trouble?" asked Suki as Chris chuckled. "Of course." he said as Suki smiled and leaves on her moped. "Come on, Porsha." said Chris. They were about to leave until reporters approached Porsha. "Porsha! Porsha! Is it true you were the cause of your father's actions?" said a reporter. "Is it possible Chris will be pressing charges against you for scratching him?" asked another. Porsha was frozen and didn't know what to say. Chris sees her overwhelmed and rammed through the group and steps in front of her. "Okay, everyone! I don't know where these rumors came from but Porsha had NOTHING to do with this. She's innocent and I know it." said Chris as he turns to her. Porsha smiled. The reporters then leave as the couple walked to the bus while Porsha held his hand. Chris and Porsha looked at each other as they admired the city one last time. "Um Chris? Thank you...for helping me back there." said Porsha. "Of course. Just remember you are not to blame. It was your father and him alone." said Chris as she smiled. As they look forward, Chris noticed something missing. "Wait. Where's my necklace?" asked Chris in worry. Porsha then pulls it out from her pocket. "Here." said Porsha as she held it. Chris gasped. "You found it. Thank you, Porsha!" said Chris as he hugs her. "Landed on the stage, I managed to find it." said Porsha. "Um, Porsha? What you said back there. You called me your boyfriend. Did you mean that?" asked Chris as he blushed. Porsha blushed and nodded. She then kisses him by surprise. He slowly falls into it as they enjoy the moment. Chris then felt his tail wagging happily. They soon separated and looked into each other's eyes. "Te amo, Porsha." said Chris. "What does that mean?" asked Porsha in confusion. "It means I love you, in spanish." explained Chris. "Oh. Well...Te amo, Chris." said Porsha as she lays in his arms. Everyone smiled at the newly couple. But as they were about to leave the city, Suki stops them. "Stop the bus!" said Suki as they stopped. "What's going on?" asked Buster. "I just got a call from the Majestic. They said your show was fantastic and wants to put it on in their Theater!" said Suki as everyone gasped. "Well Mr. Calloway? Are you in?" asked Buster. He looks at everyone before he nodded. Everyone cheered. The troupe then heads to the theater, where they put on the show once more. This time, Nana Noodlemen was there to attend it. Everyone walked towards the stage behind the curtain as everyone was clapping and cheering for them. Buster watched from the VIP balcony with Nana, Ms. Crawley, Malcolm, Norman and Alfonso. Having accomplished his dream by succeeding in Redshore City. For Jimmy Crystal, he was sentenced to prison for attempted murder. And as for Chris, his father, Malcolm predicted the one thing he said that would happen...Chris has found love in Redshore City and that love is Porsha Crystal.
