Huckleberry Hound: Hero of the Stage

Act 9: A Young Star is Born!

As soon as the play was over, Huck was giving everyone their stuff back on their way out of the theater. His friends were the last ones out of the theater, and Clementine went over to Huck, and gave him a bunch of kisses all over his face!

"Oh, Huckleberry!" she said. "You were incredible!" And she gave Huck a bunch of bluebells.

"Bluebelles!!" he exclaimed. "Ohhh, thank you, Clementine! I love them!" And he gave her a kiss on the cheek.

Snag and Hokey went up to him next.

"Wonderful performance, Huck!" Hokey praised.

"You were amazing!" Snag added. "Outstanding! Spectacular, even!"

"Thanks, fellers!" Huck replied. And he gave his friends a high five.

Pixie and Dixie brought Huck some balloons that read "HOORAY FOR HUCKLEBERRY!"

"HOORAY FOR HUCK!!" they chorused.

"Oh, thank you, Pixie and Dixie!" Huck replied as he was handed the balloons.

"Huck, thanks to you, we were able to save the theater!" Perry said, putting a gold ribbon on Huck. "And we present this ribbon to you for your hard work! And by the way, that cape on you looks spiffy!"

Huck laughed. "Thanks, Perry! But I couldn't have done it without my new friend, Lyra Heartsong!"

The Heartsongs also went over to Huck.

"Huck, your song is what really brought confidence to our daughter!" Ms. Heartsong beamed. "You saved the day! How can we ever thank you?"

"Awwww, huhuhuhuhuhuh!" Huck chuckled. "It was nothing!"

"Hey, Huck!" Hokey called. "Come on! We gotta get home!"

"Coming!" Huck called. Then he turned to the Heartsongs. "Well, I gotta get going. But you keep on performing, okay?"

"We will, Huck," Mr. Heartsong replied.

"Will you come and see me perform one day, Huck?" Lyra asked.

"Why, of course, Lyra! And if you want to, you can drop by Hill Street Neighborhood to come see me too!"

Lyra smiled, and gave Huck a hug. "Oh, Huckleberry, I'll miss you."

"I'll miss you too," Huck replied. "But I'll visit you anytime. I promise." And he hugged Lyra back.

"Thanks again for helping me, Huck!"

"No problem!"

They all went outside as Perry got in the limousine. "Okay, everyone! Let's go!"

Everyone got in the limo as Huck looked at the Hearsongs, Lyra, and the security officer.

"We'll see you in Hill Street Neighborhood, Huck!" Lyra said.

"And I'll see you in the Sinatra Theater, Lyra!" Huck replied.

And off the limo drove.

"GOOD-BYE!!" the Heartsongs, Lyra, and the security all shouted, waving.

"Bye!!" Huck called back. "Bye, Lyra! And remember, have self confidence, and a song in your heart!"

"Huck, who are you talking to?" Hokey asked.

"Oh, I was just talking to Lyra," Huck replied. "She's my brand new friend!"

"Huckleberry, that cape looks so handsome on you!" Clementine grinned.

"Thanks, Clementine!" Huck replied. "I think I like the theater! I may not have gotten to watch the show, but I got to do something even better. I got to be IN the show! Hahahahahahaha!"

Huck and his friends all burst out laughing as they continued to drive home. Yes, there's no place like the theater, and it really made Huck feel proud to be a singer. He saved the day, performed in a play, and most of all, made a brand new friend! It made his heart soar, and he was glad to have went to the theater today. And the theater was glad to have a hero of their own. And that hero is Huckleberry Hound, the hero of the stage.
