Sing: The Era of Music

Chapter 25: A Second Chance

A few weeks later after the visit, Crystal was in his cell, looking at the letters from Luna. Then a guard approaches his cell. "Hey, Crystal! Good news, your a free man now." said the guard as he opened the cell. "What? But how?" asked Crystal. "Well, after your family's visit weeks ago, the chief saw to it, that you would get an early release." said the guard as he leads him to fill out the papers. "Good luck out there, Crystal." said the guard. "Thank you." he replied as he signed the forms and puts on his clothes. As he exits the prison, he sees the sunlight beam on his face and inhales deeply and exhales. He opens his eyes and sees Claudia outside, standing in front of a car with a smile on her face. Crystal approaches her. "Hi." he said. "Hi." Claudia replied as she kissed him passionately. They got in the car and drove to Catalonia, where Crystal starts a new life with Claudia, leaving his business and fame behind. As they drove to Claudia's home, Jimmy sees the new modern house, she was living in the whole time. "Claudia, honey. This is wonderful." said Jimmy. "Thank you, dear. I never wanted to live a rich life fantasy. I just wanted a home. And I want you." said Claudia as Jimmy smiled. Then there was a knock on the door. Claudia and Jimmy open it and sees Chris, Porsha and Luna. "Surprise!" said all as Jimmy smiled. Porsha gave her father a heartwarming hug. "Missed you, Daddy." she said as Jimmy smiled. "I missed you too, angel." he replied. "Grandpa!" said Luna as he picks her up. "Hi, pumpkin." said Jimmy as he kissed her forehead and Luna hugs him tightly. Finally, Chris approached Jimmy as he smiled. "Thank you, Chris. For the talk." he said as Chris smiled and gave him a hug. "No problem." he replied. Then, there was another knock on the door. And behind it was the Moon Troupe. "Guys! Hey." said Chris. "We heard what happened back there. So we'd thought we drop by." said Buster as they all came in and looked at Jimmy, who was silent. "Moon, uh. I'm...I'm really sorry for what I did two years ago. It was...unprofessional." said Jimmy as Buster chuckled. "It's fine, Crystal. Water under the bridge." he replied as Crystal smiled. Soon, he would apologize to the cast and the group would have dinner together. "Hey, Buster. You said you were looking for a villain to play in our show. I think I know the right guy." said Chris as he looks at Crystal with a smile. He was surprised. "Me? You want me to play in your show?" asked Crystal. "Yeah. That voice you got...it's perfect. But, you don't have to do this. Your choice." said Chris. Crystal looks at Claudia, who replies with a smile and a nod. "Let's do it." said Crystal as they celebrated. The next day, Crystal was to be the villain in the pirate show and Buster sets up the cast and would be themselves in the show. Chris would be playing as Captain Chris, an eccentric, trickster pirate, who sets out to reclaim his ship the Black Wolf. Crystal would be playing as Captain Crystal, the captain of the Black Wolf  and a ruthless pirate who was Chris's first mate before leading a mutiny against him and stole his ship. He's a counterpart of Chris's character. Porsha would be playing as a clothes maker, who would be Chris's love interest. The rest of the cast would play as Chris's crew throughout the play. Later on, Buster made the script for the cast as they begin rehearsing and with Chris's help, Porsha was able to act and succeed her rehearsals. Claudia was their fashion designer as she made the costumes. The show would be called "The Adventures of Captain Chris".

(Author's note: For those who know where the next chapter is going, it's going to be a bit similar to Pirates of the Caribbean. It's one of my favorite Disney movies growing up.)
