Moving stiffly for his robot role, Gunter said,
"Gunter robot activating piggy power! Beep! Beep!"

Settling into his stage manager's spot backstage, Buster pointed at Miss Crawly and said, "Playback!" She hit a button, and music began to play.

Now Buster leaned toward a microphone. "All creatures great and small," he said, "welcome to outer space!"

Stars lit the stage. A huge rocket ship with a glass front lowered into view. Through the glass, the audience could see Rosita standing on the control deck, it even amazed Mario and Luigi.

"Wow, this is amazing" Luigi says.

"Yeah" Mario agreed, "they Sure went all out, it's impressive, those workers did a good job designing the sets"

"Captain's log," she said. "My mission: to find and rescue a space explorer who mysteriously went missing long ago."

Sprayed with silver paint to make him look like a robot, Gunter entered the deck. "Captain! I am picking up his signal!"

Rosita turned toward Gunter. "Excellent! But from which planet? I see five of them ahead."

"It is impossible to know which one the signal is coming from" Gunter said in his robot voice.

"I see," Rosita said, turning back to gaze out the front of the spaceship. "Then I'll have to explore them all. Take us down!"

As the rocket lowered onto the stage, Johnny waited to make his entrance. Looking out at the huge audience, he suddenly felt very nervous.

"You've got this, big guy!" Nooshy reassured him, patting his shoulder. "Remember what I said: just go with the flow." Johnny nodded, then he looks down at Mario and Luigi who gives him a pair of two thumbs up, so he took a deep breath, and walked out onstage.

"Ah" but Luigi jumps when he sees klaus.

"Mario" he pointed bad Mario glares at klaus.

From the deck of the ship, Rosita said, "Captain's log. I must take care, for I have landed on the Planet of War."

The set looked like a futuristic town ruined by bactle, with broken buildings, corn flags, and small fires.

As Johnny began to sing, his dad watched proudly.

"Cause you're a sky ♪

♪ 'Cause you're a sky full of stars ♪

♪ I'm gonna give you my heart ♪

♪ 'Cause you're a sky ♪

♪ 'Cause you're a sky full of stars ♪

♪ 'Cause you light up the path ♪"

"That's my boy," he said softly.

"You must one proud dad" Mario pats his arm.

"I am" but it made Mario and Luigi frown as they thought about their own dad.

♪ I don't care ♪

♪ Go on and tear me apart ♪

♪ I don't care if you do ♪

♪ Ooh ♪

♪ 'Cause in a sky ♪

♪ 'Cause in a sky full of stars ♪

♪ I think I saw you... ♪

♪ ♪

With one last look at Nooshy in the wings for inspiration, Johnny began to dance.

And he danced magnificently! The audience clapped and cheered!

The other dancers waited eagerly to go onstage.
Looking angry, Mario and Luigi cheered for him but Klaus stomped over to Ryan. "Give me
that stick, he demanded, "and your costume. Now!"
