Chapter III
"N'Copter... N'Copter..."
He heard a muffled voice calling his name. Then it grew clearer by the second making him slowly open his eyes.
"Seriously?" The voice said with a hint of accusation in it.
A blurry image against the blinding light is the first thing that registered in his mind when he opened his eyes. He blinked several times to let them adjust; the wide and chubby face of his Manager, Peach, slowly became a sharp image --- and it is just a foot away from him.
"What the!" Copter almost jumped from his seat when he realized that his personal space was invaded. He could have fallen from his chair if not for the seatbelt on his chest.
Copter immediately roamed his eyes around to see what's happening.
Okay, he thought. He's in his car, tightly bound to his chair and the door is open where his Manager poked his head into.
"What do you mean'what the'?" Peach now stood up straight and placed his hands on his waists with his age-honed grace. "Why are you sleeping here?"
"W-Wh..." He struggled to make sense of this.
The hell happened? He thought as he tapped his forehead lightly, as if forcing his brain to do its job. Okay, minutes ago I was on the road. Then I was in a weird place. Then I am here. What the hell is happening?
He looked at his P'Peach with a confused expression. He can feel the skin on his forehead folding, making his eyebrows meet in the middle. Peach just looked back at him with an eyebrow raised high up on his forehead.
"Why are you doing this to me?" The effeminate voice of Peach said. He's tapping a foot on the pavement.
"D-Doing what Pee?" Copter asked with a confused expression.
"You're lying to me." Peach dramatically said as he covered his mouth with his hands and looked away.
"W-What?" Copter asked, his confusion is getting worse.
"Y-You said," Peach said with a sad voice, still looking away. "You said you will be here in ten minutes. So, I went out here to wait for you."
Oh shit, Copter couldn't help but hit his forehead with a palm. He almost forgot.
"D-Did I miss it?" Copter looked at his Manager with utter horror on his face. "The audition, is it over?"
"You lied to me." Peach again said, now turning his head to the other side and looked elsewhere, a hand still covering his mouth.
