Johnny stood in the theater as he walked to the stage. He noticed Buster as he bit his lip "Mr Moon" Johnny spoke as Buster shifted his head "Where have you been Johnny! You just disappeared! I don't think you really want to be in this show" Johnny shifted uncomfortably "No no I do it's.. it's just" though before anyone else could speak, Emi stepped in. "Excuse me sir.... Mr Moon" her voice spoke as he turned to her "And who might you be" she stepped forward as she shook hands with him "Emi. I just came here after going to the doctor.... This guy right here saved my life" she gestured towards Johnny. "It was a good thing he was there when he was... I was being robbed... Guy had a knife.... But he saved me... And stayed with me... He talked to me about the theater and how he might of loss his chance while I was waiting for help... But... I was hoping maybe you would give him another chance" she looked up at Me Moon as he stared at Johnny in awe "Acourse... Acourse. I didn't realize that you ditched out to help someone. But... Johnny I need you to focus on the show" Emi smiled. Her work was done. "Thank you Mr Moon. And thank you... Johnny?" She questioned as he nodded. He couldn't believe the bluff she told and how they believed it.

Johnny thanked Mr Moon over and over before Buster thought for a moment. "Emi was it?" She looked at him as she nodded "How would you like to try out for our singing competition?" She blinked "Oh no one wants to hear me sing" he smiled and shook his head "Oh no. We do. I would. Would you like to try?" She blinked as she shrugged. "Sure. I suppose. What could I lose" she stated as she shifted a bit. Her hip was burning. "Meena. Can you take her music" Meena nodded as Emi smiled at her. Getting a smile in return. She listened to the music as she tapped her foot. She inhaled a breath. "Anytime now" Buster stated as she opened her mouth

"So we'll piss off the neighbours
In the place that feels the tears
The place to lose your fears. Yeah, reckless behavior. A place that is so pure, so dirty and raw, In the bed all day, bed all day, bed all day, loving you and fighting on, It's our paradise and it's our war zone, It's our paradise and it's our war zone"

She stopped, shifting her hand to her side. "Shit..." She muttered. She didn't think she had actually cut herself that bad "Haha... Sorry" she stated as buster smiled "That was great! How would you like to compete" she shrugged a bit "I'll think about it Mr. Moon" she didn't think to much about the idea. Suddenly her phone rang as she pulled it out "Oh... Hi? Yeah. He's with me. Oh we are at the moon theater" she stated as there was silent "Well I can do it. Just.... I want a cut" she stated as a smile beamed on her face "Perfect. I'll meet you at the garage" she hopped off the stage as Johnny stopped her "Was that my dad..." She nodded "Yeah. He's got a job for me. So... I'm gonna do it. I get a cut so..." He looked at her as she leaned into him "Don't worry... I'm not gonna steal your job" she gave him a small smile as she left, leaving the male blushing.

Johnny huffed a bit as he walked back into the garage. Practice was hard. He groaned as he pushed the door open, finding his dad chatting with Emi. He stared at her for a second as he huffed. "Where you been. It's late" Big Daddy questioned as Johnny turned to him "At the theater" his father lifted a eyebrow before Johnny got the paper and handed it to him "I'm gonna try for the money" his father laughed "We got plenty of money here. You don't need to do this"

Emi could feel the tense air as she shifted a bit "I think it's wonderful. Who would think Johnny to be a son of a Mob boss. You wouldn't. Almost genius" Big Daddy turned to her "You think?" She nodded "Acourse. Do I look like I sell drugs to you?" He huffed a bit before turning to Johnny "Alright.... Eh... Good luck son" Johnny nodded and stared at Emi as she pulled a cigarette out "I need to quit" she mumbled as she lit it up and then looked at Johnny "Want one?" She questioned as he shook his head. "It's a bad habit I picked up after my father got arrested. I usually only smoke one every few days..." Johnny nodded as he sat down "So... Your working for my dad?" He questioned as she nodded "If he is going to pay me. Then yes. I need the money and he's supplying it. Gotta survive somehow... " He nodded as he watched her "So... You did really good at the tryout. Why not join the contest?" She shrugged suddenly. "I don't know... I'm afraid my father would see it and think I'm weak" he frowned a bit "Well your dad's in jail... He wouldn't be able to say anything right?" She thought for a moment and shrugged "I guess not. He doesn't like me visiting him... Says he doesn't want me to see him the way he is" Johnny nodded before taking the cig from her. He inhaled slowly and blew out smoke before handing it back "Come to the theater with me.... Maybe you will change your mind..." She smiled "Maybe"
