Your POV
As I walked with Ash to the Theater I couldn't help but feel nervous. Every nerve in my body seemed to be tingling. I felt like I was going to get sick. But I don't know what I was more nervous about; Preforming in front of a lot of people, or their reaction. I hope people like me, but I'm not sure they will. I've been receiving many nasty stares and hearing bad comments from behind my back.
'I really hope that the guys don't say things behind my back', I can't help but think.
I know they told me they don't, but it's hard to believe them after hearing comments as bad as I have.
I just kept walking with my head down. Step after step on the cracked gray sidewalk until we got to the Theater. I know I've been here many times since the day I arrived but I can't help but smile at the wondrous sight of the Moon Theater in all it's shining glory.
I walked inside and was instantly greeted by Buster and Miss Crawley.
"Good day, Ash and (y/n)! Ready to have a wonderful show tonight?!" The energetic Koala asked. Just him talking about the show makes my stomach do another flip.
Ash just nods as she is already walking off to her practice room.
They both turned to me. I put a nervous smile onto my face. "As ready as I'll ever be." I replied.
"That's the spirit kid!" Buster says happily. I can't help but giggle at his outburst. "Go get dressed, (y/n), let's get this show started!" Buster says running off to who knows where.
I giggled again as I go to the dressing room. I walk in and go to the assortment of different dresses that they picked for me to wear. (Sorry if you don't like dresses I thought it would look nice for the show.) There were five dresses on the rack, I went through all of them trying them on to see which one I liked best. I chose...(Sorry if you don't like any of them. I just liked them all so much so I picked these.)
I stood close to the mirror and twirled around in my dress that I chose. It's {dress color/colors} fabric twirled elegantly around me as I smiled at the beautiful dress. I put on some {shoes of choice}, did my hair in {style of choice} and did my {makeup of choice} to complete the look. I went up to the mirror and smiled at how pretty I thought I looked.
The dressing room opened. "Hey, (y/n), the—Wow that dress looks great on you." Meena said as she walked into the dressing room.
I blushed from the complement. "Thank you." I smiled. "What were you saying before?" I asked after a moment of silence.
"Oh! I was saying that Buster wants us to all get ready behind stage, people will be arriving soon." Meena said.
"Okay, Meena, I'll be out there in a few." I said.
"Ok." Meena said before leaving the fairly small room.
I leaned against the counter, trying to calm my nervous breathing. I finally mustered up enough courage to walk to the stage. Step after step I take to the stage—nope! I go and hide back in the dressing room.
'I can't even calm down enough to leave the room let alone preform in front of hundreds of people' I think to myself as I'm sitting in a chair knees up to my face.
A few moments later I hear a knock on the door. "Hello? (y/n), are you in there?" I heard my accented friend, Johnny say.
"No!" I squeak.
"Oh okay, I'll look somewhere else then." I heard him say. I can't help but giggle a bit at my friend. I walk over to the door and open it a crack.
"Oh she is in there!" Johnny tries to seem surprised. I just smile and look at the floor. "(y/n), Buster wants all of us out behind stage, people are already here" Johnny said.
"But I'm scared." I said sadly.
"Hey it's okay, Meena used to have stage fright and now preforming is one of her favorite things to do." Johnny says. "You'll do great." He holds a hand out. I slowly take his hand. My hand fits perfect in his and our fingers intertwine together.
We walked down the semi-lit hallway to the behind-stage area. Everyone is patiently waiting as Buster is out talking to the crowds. Everyone turns to me and smiles as they wave.
"And first up is Gunter and Rosita!" Buster said to the crowd. The stage goes black as Buster walks begins the curtain.
The song 'Shake it off' played and they started to dance. I guess they are playing the same songs again, or at least that's what everyone's said. They want people to come see the same show at the new Theater, I guess. I almost start to dance along but don't get that far, as Johnny's hand is still holding mine.
I guess him feeling my hand moving reminds him that our hands are together, because he quickly lets go. He turns to me and scratches the back of his neck. I can't help but miss the feeling of our hands fitting together perfectly. But I quickly forget as my favorite part of the song plays and I "Need" to dance to it. I twirl and my dress flares. I started to laugh but quickly stifle it, remembering I need to be quiet.
As I watch the two's act finish I cheer loudly, so does the rest of the team. I guess Johnny is up next because as Buster is again talking to the crowd. Eddy and Johnny get the piano ready to be wheeled out.
As the stage goes dark the two quickly push the piano onto the center. Suddenly the music starts, As Johnny's fingers perfectly press the keys the perfect melody. The song echoes through the Theater.
I can't help but smile at the sound of his perfect voice while playing the piano. His song is by far my favorite, or maybe it's because he sings it, to be honest with myself.
His act sadly ends and he exits the stages with the piano. I walked up to him. "You did amazing Johnny." I said. I hear some of the team laugh under their breath but I just ignore it.
"Y-you thought I did amazing?" He asked me. "Yeah of course!" I say before quickly hugging him. He stands still for a moment before actually hugging me back. I see a camera flash from my right side and I giggle as Ash, Meena and Rosita are looking at their Phones and smiling.
The rest of the show goes amazingly, that is until it is my turn. I get nervous and start to walk away, but an arm stops me.
I turn to face Johnny. "Hey, you're not leaving." He smiles.
"But I'm nervous." I say to him as he drags me to the edge of the curtain. He's still tightly holding onto my wrist. "You can let go now." I say.
He lets go and I stay still for a second before trying to take off again. But yet again I'm stopped, but this time it's by strong arms around my waist. "Nice try." He whispers in my ear.
I groan "But-"
-"No buts, you're going to go preform on stage." He interrupted, looking into my eyes. I just look at him in the eyes for a moment before sighing in defeat.
He lets go and I turn to him. "I hate you." I try to be serious but it comes out with a smile.
I grab my headset/microphone before getting ready to exit stage. I try to prepare myself as best as I can before the music starts playing. I'm still really nervous, the suspense is really killing me.
I go through my singing/dancing routine in my head until the music starts playing. (Change the song of you really want to. I chose........ Little Toy Gun! Because I got a vote for it and it's one of my favorite songs ever!!! Sorry if more Country music comes in the future but it's my favorite, so sorry!)
I walked out on stage and looked at the hundreds if not thousands of people in the large Theater, I take a deep breath and start singing...
[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]
(If you don't want to listen but still want this song V )
"In between the coats in the closet
She held on to that heart shaped locket
Staring at a family flawless
But it ain't a pretty picture tonight
Mom and daddy just won't stop it
Fightin' at the drop of the faucet
Cuts through the walls catastrophic
She's caught in the crossfire
Puts her hands over her ears
Starts talking through the tears
She's saying, she's praying.
I wish words were like little toy guns
No sting, no hurt no one, just a bang bang
Rolling off your tongue (I wish words were like little toy guns)
Yeah, no smoke, no bullets
No kick from the trigger when you pull it, no pain, no damage done
(I wish words were like little toy guns)
And just a bang bang rolling off your tongue
(I wish words were like little toy guns)
Wish there was a white flag waving
Or that they were both just faking
And it was just a game they were playing
Like shoot'em up cowboys
Leave the plastic pistols in the front yard
Throw away the score card
And just turn off all the noise.
I wish words were like little toy guns
No sting, no hurt no one, just a bang bang
Rolling off your tongue (I wish words were like little toy guns)
Yeah, no smoke, no bullets
No kick from the trigger when you pull it, no pain, no damage done
(I wish words were like little toy guns)
And just a bang bang rolling off your tongue
(I wish words were like little toy guns)
Oh I wish they didn't cut like a knife
I wish they didn't break you inside
I wish they didn't bang bang make you wanna run, yeah
Like little toy guns
No sting, no hurt no one, just a bang bang
Rolling off your tongue (I wish words were like little toy guns)
Yeah, no smoke, no bullets
No shot from the trigger when you pull it, no pain, no damage done
(I wish words were like little toy guns)
And just a bang bang rolling off your tongue
(I wish words were like little toy guns)
Oh like little toy guns..."
I took a deep breath as I finished the song. Silence filled the Theater. But that all quickly changed as the large room filled with noise. The crowd cheered loudly. I bowed and smiled before leaving the stage. As I exited everyone was waiting to congratulate me.
"You did great!" Ash says giving me a side hug.
"Yes, Sweetie, it was amazing." Rosita gave me a hug.
"Thank you everyone! You guys did great too." I say.
"You guys had a wonderful show tonight, keep up the good work! Goodnight everyone!" Buster says.
"Goodnight Mr. Moon!" We all said. We all say our goodbyes but before Ash and I can leave I'm stopped by Johnny.
"I uh was just going to say that y-you did great and looked beautiful tonight." Johnny said.
"Thank you." I said before reaching for the lapels of his jacket and kissing his cheek. I waved and smiled before running to catch up to Ash.
