(Apollo's Theater...)

Shiki: No... No! Sir! Please! Just call them off please!

Sonata: Should have read the handbook son: Zero tolerance for tardiness. (turns to the the robot monster) Bon appitit, Robo-Pillar! (The PJ Pug-a-Pillar based robot moves it's own body before it's teeth started chomping before trying to bite onto Shiki, he screams and breaks free from the rope he has been tied on and bursts the door open) Hey! Get back here right now, young man!

Shiki: No!!! Don't let him get me! Please sir! I promise to respect you from now on! (spots a vent on the wall) oh wait! This is my chance! (crawls in the vent and shuts the door)

Sonata (approaching to the vent): Oh great! Nguyen-san has escaped... again! (his expression changes) Oh well, it's still been a productive afternoon. (puts his notebook out) Now what do I have to do next? Oh, tonight's my big dinner date with Viola! (the elevator opens, and he goes in before the door shuts)

(Inside the vents...)

Shiki: I am so glad Sir Sonata didn't punish me this time. Isn't that too much to ask? (just then, he sees an exit) Come on, this better be an exit! (he opens the gate and crawls out of the vents) Phew! No one here already, thank g-

Oscar (offscreen): Hey, is somebody there?

Shiki: Oh crap, I gotta hide! (hides behind the stage curtain)

Oscar: Hmm, I could've sworn someone was in the stageroom.

Miley: Me too. I wonder who could it be?

Shiki (nervous): At least they won't find me here, because everyone in Apollo's Theater really hates me... (then the curtain opens, and he shrieks and falls back first) AH! Please, spare me! Don't do anything to me!

Miley: No no no! Calm down, we're not gonna hurt you! (gently puts her shoulders onto Shiki's back) Listen to us, please...

Shiki: H-Huh? Miley, is that you?

Miley: Yes, it's me.

Shiki: Hey, I know you and Oscar from your band for Amethyst City, STARLIGHT.

Oscar: Correct, and whenever you need help, you can always come to us.

Shiki (relieved): Oh thank you guys so much!

Oscar: You are welcome, now let's get you outta here before Sonata finds you.

Shiki: Wait! You two know I'm an employee at Apollo's Theater?

Miley: Yes, we saw you serving Sonata the other day, and we know what you've gone through.

Oscar: It's okay if you don't wanna tell us...

Shiki: Okay, thanks for saving me.

Miley: You're welcome.

(The trio exit the stageroom as Madison, Amanda, and Khalid arrive)

Madison: Hey guys, did you find the person that was abused by the boss of Apollo's Theater?

Miley: Yes Maddie-chan, we did.

Oscar (turns to Shiki): Alright sir, since now we've found you, can you tell us what your name is?

Shiki: Um... my name? (hesitant at first but then decides to own up) My name's Nguyen Shiki. I have moved into Amethyst City for a long time before you guys did, and I work at Apollo's Theater...

Khalid: Oh, we see.

Amanda: If you wanna work there, why was Sonata being so mean to you...

Shiki: I'm sorry, I just can't tell you why... t-too painful.

Amanda: Aw you poor thing, it's fine if you don't wanna tell us. (whispers to both Oscar and Miley) Do you two have a plan?

Miley: Um, let us think of something first, sis. (thinks of something) Let's see now... (then, a lightbulb appears) Ah-hah! How about you join our group? It is the best JRock band in all the world!

Shiki: R-Really?

Oscar: Yes. Come and join us, Shiki-chan!

Shiki (happily): Oh yes! I would love to, no more abuse from Sonata Sage!

All five: Exactly!

Madison: Once everyone arrives at 12 o'clock, we will have a singing competition to see if one of us is the better singer.

Khalid: We are all equally better at this!

Madison: Khalid's right!

Shiki: Thank you!

(Just then, the clock strikes 12, prompting everyone to come into the theater, and go in line after STARLIGHT including Shiki does.)

Miley: Do you know how to do this?

Shiki: Yeah, I saw various people waiting in line to have their turn singing so they can be talented band singers. I was wishing to be a singer, but... I'm just too nervous.

Oscar: It's gonna be okay bro, you'll do great!

Amanda: Trust us, we are your new friends! We'd do anything for you!

Khalid: Yeah, Amanda-chan's right!

Radio: First up, we have Oscar Okinawa, who would like to sing a song for us in his guitar.

Oscar: Oh yeah, that's me baby! (runs into the stageroom)

Sonata (from the counter): What is this that I see? My employee, becoming a singer with five of the STARLIGHT scum? This is about time I taught this boy a lesson for betraying me like that! (goes into his office and sits at his desk)

Viola: Dear? Is there something missing?

Junko: And where's Shiki?

Sonata: Shiki?! Oh, he just quit his job because he's being useless! I've just got to get him back for betraying us! But how?

Junko: I have just the thing sir.

Sonata: And what is it, Junko-chan?

(Junko approaches to both the boss and second-in-command and starts whispering the plan to them, and 15 minutes have passed.)

Radio: Shiki Nguyen, it is your turn.

Person 1: Shiki?

Person 2: The person that works here?!

Person 3: This is outrageous!

Person 4: Relax dudes, he'll be okay once he fits in.

Miley: Good luck out there.

Shiki: Alright, come on, here we go, come on, you can do it. You can do it.... (he walks up onstage and accidentally knocks the microphone down. He picks it up) Oh god I'm sorry!

Taisho: Hey hey hey, it's alright. You know, it's all right. Take it away, Shik!

Shiki (nervously adjusts the microphone): Uh... okay.

Taisho: Anytime now. (Shiki still stands there with a nervous look on her face) Do you want to start over?

Shiki: Um... (his heart beats before the music starts)

Miley: Go on bro, let it out. Let it all out. Go on!
