Mario and Luigi in SING 2

Convincing Calloway

Buster gathered Gunter, Ash, and Miss Crawly in a corner of the rehearsal space. "Listen up," he said.

"I gotta go to Calloway's. And I gotta go right away."

"Oh, no," Miss Crawly gasped. "Please don't go there!"

Giving her a reassuring pat, Buster said, "Don't worry. I know you said he's crazy, but I'll be all right."

"Can I go with you, please?" Ash asked.

Buster hesitated. From what Miss Crawly had said, Calloway sounded dangerous. "Uh, I don't know"

"Come on!" Ash insisted. "You're gonna need me. I know everything about this guy."

Buster thought about it and nodded slowly. "I think you're right."

"Yes!" Ash said, overjoyed at the prospect of meeting her musical hero.

"Now listen, Guater," Buster said, turning to the pig. "You've got to figure out the ending of this show on vour own."

"On my own?" Gunter asked uncertainly. He was used to having Buster in the room while he came up with ideas.

"Yes," Buster confirmed. He turned to his faithful assistant. "Miss Crawly, I need you to take charge while I'm away."

"Yes, sir," Miss Crawly said, still not liking the idea of her boss going to that dangerous lion's house.

"You gotta bring your A game," he told her.

"I'm serious. You gotta be tough."

"Yes, I gotta be tough!" Miss Crawly said.

"You gotta be firm," Buster said.

"Oh, and I gotta be firm! Yes!"

"And you cannot, I repeat, cannot let production fall behind, not one little bit. Is that clear?"

"YES, SIR, MR. MOON, SIR!" Miss Crawly said, snapping off a salute.

Miss Crawly was as good as her word. In no time at all, she was barking orders at the cast and crew through a bullhorn.

"Mason! That volcano should have been finished yesterday!"

"We're on it, Miss Crawly," Mason answered, urging his crew to work faster.

"You'd better be!" Miss Crawly said, moving on to the show's two romantic young leads.

"Meena! Darius! Take it from the top, and this time put a little juice in it, will ya?"

"I'm trying my best, Miss Crawly," Meena said meekly.

Darius looked confused. "A little juice?"

BLAM!

A pair of doors flew open and Porsha strolled in.

"Hey, everybody!" she chirped cheerfully.

Miss Crawly wasn't charmed. "You're two hours late for rehearsal!" she shouted through the bullhorn.

Porsha stared at the iguana. "Wait. Where's the koala? Who are you?"

"I'M IN CHARGE, THAT'S WHO!" Miss Crawly yelled through her bullhorn. "Now get your tail to Wardrobe!"

Buster and Ash carefully made their way through the bushes around Clay Calloway's house.

The leaves were still splattered from the paintballs he'd fired at Miss Crawly.

Arriving at a locked gate, Ash and Buster saw
Clay working on his motorcycle.

"Oh my gosh!" Ash whispered. "There he is! That's him! He doesn't look so scary."

"Mr. Calloway?" Buster called to the famous songwriter.

Without even looking up from his task, Calloway bellowed, "GO AWAY!"

"No, please!" Buster implored. "We just want to talk to you for one minute. That's all."

The lion ignored them.

"We are not leaving until you talk to us!" Ash
called. Silence.

"Fine!" she said. "If you're not coming over here, we're coming over to you!" They headed toward the fence.

"NO!" Clay shouted. "STAY OFF THE FENCE!"

"Don't listen to him," Ash said. She and Buster reached up and grabbed the fence to climb over it, but . . . ZZAP! An electric shock knocked them back and onto the grass! They both lay there, unconscious.

Despite Miss Crawly's efforts, rehearsal was not going well. Flying on wires, Gunter and Porsha bumped into the set and each other.

In Meena's duet with Darius, she had trouble looking like she was in love with him.

"What are you doing with your face?" Darius asked her. "Your face looks broken."

"Uh, I was falling in love?" Meena said uncertainly.

Darius shook his head. "That's not what falling in love with me looks like, Gina. I should know- I see it day after day, week after week. Let's run it again from the top."

When they finally took a break, Meena ran outside and leaned against a wall, closing her eyes and sighing.

A voice said, "Would you like some ice cream, ma'am?"

She opened her eyes and saw a young elephant holding a tray of ice cream cones. His name was Alfonso.

"Or should I say, Your Majesty?" Meena didn't know what to make of this. She wasn't a queen!

"It's just that you look like a goddess," Alfonso explained. "And lucky for you, it's Free Ice Cream for All Goddesses Day."

"Oh, Meena said, giggling. Using his trunk, he offered her a cone. She accepted it with her own trunk.

For just a moment, both their trunks were touching the ice cream cone.

"That's cherry cheesecake, Alfonso said, nodding toward her ice cream.

Luigi was grabbing his bag when he noticed Meena talking to the boy elephant.

"I make it all myself. See, my truck's right over there." He pointed to it. "Come by anytime, Your Majesty." And just like that, Meena was in love, Luigi saw it too.

Buster slowly opened his eyes and saw he was in a cozy living room lit by a log crackling in the fireplace. Ash was looking down at him.

"Buster? Are you okay?"

"Ash?" he said. "Where are we?" He noticed that his paws were bandaged.

"Were in Clay's house," Ash answered. "We were just discussing whether he'd consider being in our show."

Buster sat straight up. "What did he say?"

"He said no," said a deep voice.

Gasping, Buster turned around and saw Clay sitting right behind him.

"Not in a million years," Clay said.

Then with the Mario brothers, Jimmy let them ride in his limousine and takes them to his mansion.

They were amazed to see his enormous mansion.

"Wow!" They said.

"This place is huge!" Luigi examined

"Yeah, it's much bigger then the man mansions back at home" Mario says.

Jimmy was flattered, "well I'm glad you like my home"

Mario and Luigi jumps out, "now just go inside, my daughter porsha knows that you're coming so she won't be a bother and take as much time as you need ok"

"Ok" Luigi says.

"You can count on us sir" Mario says then they go inside the house.
