Johnny sat by the piano and pressed smoothly the keys for the new song he has to play in the next show and hummed the lyrics to himself, looking focused and genuinely happy. the room was filled with the melody and peacefulness until Moon entered with that bright smile of his.
Mr. Moon: “Johnny! I hear you’re doing great with the new song.” the koala smiled up at the young gorilla boy.
Johnny turned around in his chair and smiled back with a soft nod.
Johnny: “yes, Mr. Moon. going well so far.”
Moon nodded satisfied and gave him some papers for his role and made his way back to the door but Johnny stopped him.
Johnny: “uh… Mr. Moon. I-… I just wanted to mention a friend of mine that also has a great talent in singing. something tells me to recommend them to you.” Johnny fidget with his fingers as he talked.
Moon stopped and raised a curious eyebrow.
Mr. Moon: “oh? an unknown talent, huh? sounds great, Johnny! tell them to come tomorrow to our theater. maybe they’ll become a part of our group! thanks for telling.”
Johnny’s eyes light up as he heard the directions words and nodded eagerly and went back to his practice, already excited to text you later.
Later that day when Johnny could finally fall into his bed and relax after the tiring day, he stared at your contact. you two text constantly, basically through the night and I mean the ‘let’s text until our phone dies - both plug their phones in so they can text until their phones overheat’ long. since you helped him hide as the police walked by and his father and two other companions were stealing the money from a bank without judging or talking much, you exchanged numbers and were talking 24/7 through messages. and how does he knows about your singing talent? you two send each other voice recordings of your singing and Johnny was genuinely amazing by your singing voice.
Finally, after ten minutes hesitation, he texted you about the meeting with Moon at his theater tomorrow and that you should come because you could become a part of the group and you two could see each other more often. Johnny watched your profile that was currently offline. barely a minute later the three dots appeared and the gorilla boy mentally prayed for you to agree, clutching his phone like a lifeline while waiting. surprisingly, as the message came, you agreed. nervous but you did which made the boy smile like a schoolboy with a crush.
The next morning, Moon called everyone together for an announcement. Ash, Rosita, Gunter and Meena stood on the stage and listening with clear curiosity and excitement about the newcomer and possibly new group partner. Johnny was constantly glancing at the door of the saal with boiling nerves in nervousness and excitement to finally see you again.
