Sing 2 (Johnny x OC)

Chapter 8

Wake up
"Wake up"
Grab a brush and put a little makeup
"Makeup"
Hide your scars to fade away the shake-up
"Doo-doo"
Why'd you leave the keys upon the table?
"The table"
Here you go, create another fable
"You wanted to"
Grab a brush and put a little makeup...

Miss Crawly was speeding down the road in a bright red sports car, blasting music and singing along.

"Your destination is on the right." The navigator's voice said.
"On the right. Okay." Miss Crawly said, taking a sharp right turn and going off the road.

Soon enough, Miss Crawly was driving through a dark, creepy looking forest. Eventually, she stops driving when she comes across a gate with a "KEEP OUT!" sighs on the front. Ignoring this, she gets out of the car, with the fruit basket and climbs over the fence.

"Mr. Calloway? Hello? Is anybody home?" She calls out. As she's walking, she steps on a tripwire which sets off an alarm. Then the garage door opens to reveal a figure in a motorcycle who starts shootings her with paint gun, scared out of her mind she starts running back to the car, screaming all the way. She tries to climb over the fence, but trips and falls over. She eventually managers to get into the car and starts backing out into the forest. As she's going the motorcyclist takes off his helmet.

"Clay Callowa..." She says in shock, but it trails off into a scream as she starts rolling down the hill. The car picks up speed and eventually crashes into some trees causing the car to finally stop.

"Oopsie-daisy." She says.

"Hello. I can't take your call right now, but please leave me a message after the beep." Miss Crawly's voice says as Buster tries to reach her phone.
"Miss Crawly, it's me, Mr. Moon. I haven't heard from you in a while. I'm starting to worry here." He says into the phone.

"Moon!" Crystal's loud voice booms as he enters the room.
"Mr. Crystal." Buster gasps in fear.
"Your set designs are a disgrace." He comments, with a straight face.
"What?" Buster says in confusion.
"I'm just messing with you. Where's your sense of humor, huh?" He says, laughing. Buster chuckles nervously.
"Anyway, this is my daughter Porsha." He says, gesturing to a young, tall woman with pale skin, hazel eyes and cool grey and platinum blonde hair.
"Hey." She greets
"Nice to meet you, Porsha." Buster says.
"She wants to meet Calloway. Big fan, aren't you, baby?" Crystal says, nonchalantly.
"Oh, my gosh, I'm, like, so into vintage right now." She says excitedly.
"So, where is he?" Crystal says expectantly.
"Uh, well... I-I'm not expecting Clay on set just yet. I mean..." Buster excuses.
"Wait. Is this, like, a sky-fi show?" Porsha asks cutting him off.
"Uh, sci-fi? Yes. Yes, it is." He confirms.
"Oh, my gosh, I love sky-fi." She says, in awe.
"Mr. Moon! We're ready on the tower." One of the crew members call out.
"Oh. Thank you, Sasha. We, uh... We're gonna rehearse, Mr. Crystal, so..." He replies and then addresses Crystal.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You go and do your rehearsing thing. Go, go, go, go." Crystal says, dismissing him.
"Playback." Buster calls out, then the music starts playing.

"Okay. All set. Just remember to release the safety catch before you jump, okay?" Sasha says to Rosita as she preparing to jump.
"Okay, yeah." She says.
"Is Mommy gonna jump off that?" One of Rosita's children ask.
"She sure is." Buster says, causing them all to gasp.

(ROSITA):
"If you want it
Take it
I should've said it before
Tried to hide it
Fake it
I can't pretend anymore..."

Rosita peers over the ledge, her vision starts to swim and she drops to her knees. We all look up in concern.

"Mr. Moon, I think Rosita's having, like, a major freak-out up here." Gunter shouts from the platform.
"Oh, no." He says.
"Hey, Moon, you really think she's gonna pull this off?" Crystal says.
"Absolutely, sir. Believe me, there's nothing Rosita can't do." Buster says, going up to check on Rosita. I exchange glances with Johnny expressing my concern. Is she okay? Suddenly we see Porsha going up to the platform and talking to everyone despite Rosita's clearly panicked state.

"Daddy, he won't let me jump!" She suddenly shouts.
"Moon, come on. Let her do the thing." He says, not even looking at them.
"Yay!" She says excitedly
"Porsha, wait!"
"Whoa, hey. Uh, just a minute." Both Buster and Sasha try to get her attention, but she jumps off the platform soaring around the area.
"I love it! Whee! It's easy!" She shouts in excitement.
"All right, let's get you down, Rosita." Buster says to comfort her.
"Oh, my gosh, you guys. This is exactly like the dream I had last night. Seriously, you-you were all there. And you and you and that funny-looking guy over there." She finishes pointing at Klaus, making me snort a laugh.
"All of you. And you asked me to sing for you." She says to Buster.
"I... I did?" He asks in confusion.
"Yeah. And so, I was like..." Porsha clears her throat, before taking off again. Soaring across the room.

(PORSHA):
"This girl is on fire
This girl is on fire
She's walking on fire
This girl is on fire."

"Well, that's a lovely dream you had there, Porsha. Um, okay, everybody, back to first positions, please.
Here, Rosita. You want to try with the helmet this time?" Buster says, obviously more focused on the show than on Porsha.
"Oh, but now I know what the dream meant. Yeah. She's afraid. She'll never be able to play the part. But here I am, and I'm young, and I'm not afraid at all." She says, audaciously grabbing the helmet from Buster and putting it on.
"I-I can't just give you Rosita's part. I mean..." Buster says.
"Moon, walk with me." Crystal says, tapping his shoulder. They go over to one of the planet props to talk.

I walk over to Johnny where the rest of the cast are sitting.
"I can't believe she just did that." I say, getting really angry.
"I guess she can just do whatever she wants want because of Crystal." Johnny sighs.

"Daddy, I'm hungry for French toast." She calls out.
"Jerry! Get her some French toast." Crystal shouts as he steps off the planet prop.
"And, by the way, I like the set. That whole "rings moving around" thing. Creative, quirky. I like it." He says leaving the room.
"Bye, Daddy." She calls out, to which she gets no response.
"Mm-kay. Let's have Porsha measured for a costume right away, please." Suki says to the crew.
"You okay?" Buster says to Rosita.
"A little shaky, but I'm okay." She replies.
"Yeah. You know, uh... Look, maybe this is for the best, huh? I mean, you really were scared up there." He says, knowing how wrong it feels to this to her.
"Right." She says, hiding her disappointment.
"I'll write you another part, Rosita. A really... a really, really great part." He assures, as the rest of the cast walk over to check on her.
"You all right?" Ash asks.
"Oh, I'm fine." She says, masking her true feelings.
"Really?" Johnny asks and I nod.
"Yes. You're all very sweet, but like Mr. Moon says, this is probably for the best." She says with a fake smile.
"Seriously?" Meena asks.
"Seriously. I am completely fine with this." She says, going back to the hotel room to calm down after the events of today's rehearsals.

"She's lying. I know a fake smile when I see one." I say.
"Yeah, you're right." Johnny says, agreeing with me.
"We should do something nice for her, make her feel better." Meena says.
"Good idea, do you guys know what she likes." I ask.
"We should get her some chocolates. I think I remember which one's she likes." Ash says.
"Alright, we can them for her when we're done here." I say, the others nod in agreement and we go back to rehearsing for the show.
