Eddie walked towards his Nana's mansion as his phone rang.
"Good morning, Buster.", he saluted.
"Hey, Eddie, how are you?"
"Good. How's the show going?"
"Ah, it's going great. And, hey, that's a sharp jacket you've got on today."
"Oh, thanks.", Eddie said but then asked himself how Buster knew about his jacket, "Wait."
He looks next to him seeing Buster at the entrance and shrieked, "What are you doing here?"
"Eddie, you can't come visit your Nana without bringing her some flowers.", Buster ripped the flowers next to him and tossed them to Eddie, "Here.", and rang the house bell.
"What? No! Buster, no! Don't go in there!", Eddie said trying to stop Buster from going inside.The butler, James, opened the door, "Yes, can I help ..."
"Buster!", Eddie tried again.
"Ah, Nana!"
Nana came down the stairs with a cup of tea.
"Just look at you, dear. Wow! You don't look a day over 90!", Buster said.
"Oh my gosh!", Eddie cussed.
Buster took the flower from him, "Buster Moon! We met at Eddie's graduation."
"Oh, lucky me. A visit from my useless grandson and his ghastly little theatre friend. Shame that the human girl isn't here.", Nana praised sarcastically.
"Look at that! She remembers me. Okay, Nana, how would you like to be the sponsor for a very prestigious prize?"
"Not for that singing contest I saw on the news."
"That's the one!"
"Oh, I see. You don't have the money, do you?"
"Well, we don't quite have it all locked in ..."
"Well, you'll not get a cent out of me."
"Nana, please just listen to me ..."
"No, absolutely not."
"Don't listen to him, Nana.", Eddie said.
"I'm not listening to either of you.", she tossed the cup to Eddie, "Lapsang soughing. No sugar. And be quick about it.", she walked to her music room.
Buster tossed the flowers back to Eddie as he followed Nana.
"Uh, Nana ... I don't know how to make tea."In the music room, Buster looked at the picture of the show with Nana Noodleman.
"Wow. I saw this show when I was a kid. Nana, you were absolutely amazing."
"Please, this flattery is futile. I have no intention of bailing you out.", Nana giggled insultingly, "Your pathetic shows are the reason that theatre no longer has an audience."
"Oh, but this show is gonna pack them in like it did in the good old days."
"They were not good old days, Mr. Moon. They were magnificent. And that theatre of yours, it was a palace of wonder and magic."
"But, Nana, it still is."
"Yeah, right.", Eddie scoffed but Buster kicked him in the shin, "Ow."
"I can recall the ushers in their velvet suits. Queues a mile long just to get a ticket. The curtain rising over that glorious stage."
Buster took a cup of tea and handed it to Nana, "Music and light bringing dreams to life?"
"Precisely.", Nana took a sip of the tea.
"Well, it's just like you remember it. In fact, (Y/N) and I have made it even more spectacular."
"No, you haven't.", Eddie kicked him but Buster shushed him.
"Come see for yourself. A special performance just for you. What do you say, Nana?"
"I say, you are a liar, Mr. Moon."
Buster's face fell as Eddie grabbed him by the collar, "Okay, well ... We're down now. Thank you, Nana."
"But anything's better than spending another evening playing checkers with this old fart.", Nana gestured to the butler.
"What?"
"Great! It's gonna blow you away, Nana. And that is no lie!", Buster promised.
