Chapter 3: Meeting More Locals
As they rode and after Rosita texted her husband and Mr. Moon of what happened, she and Jamie made small talk.
"So where are you from?" Rosita asked.
Now Jamie didn't want to lie to her, but she remembered her dad telling her she can't say where she was really from. So she picked a place she's always wanted to go, but thought it wasn't real until now.
"Redshore City," she said.
"Really? My friends and I were just there. How come we didn't see you?" Rosita wondered.
"I had a family trip," Jamie answered then asked, "How did you guys like it?"
"It was amazing! I've always wanted to perform there since I was little and my group and I got our chances to do so," Rosita explained with a smile.
"I'm glad you enjoyed it," Jamie said.
There was a small silence before Rosita spoke up again.
"So, living in Redshore, do you perform?" she wondered.
"Rarely. I want to; I just don't always have the time," Jamie answered.
"Well, I work in the local theatre, the Moon Theatre. If you want, I can talk to Mr. Moon about it," Rosita offered.
"Really? I'd like that," Jamie smiled.
By that time, they arrived at the police station and Rosita was asked to answer questions first. After she was sent to the room to do so, Jamie sat and got on her phone, playing a game.
Then not five minutes later, she heard commotion and saw Norman, Gunter, 25 piglets, Buster Moon, Miss Crawly, Porsha, Ash, Meena, and Johnny.
Jamie admitted to herself that Johnny was handsome, but even though she was a gorilla in this universe, she was a human in her home universe, so she couldn't pursue anything like that.
She snapped out of her thoughts when she heard them asking about Rosita.
"Excuse me, we're looking for Rosita," Norman requested.
"She's answering questions for us about what happened, but her friend is over there," the police answered, pointing to Jamie at the end.
She turned back to her phone as they turned in her direction. They soon approached her and when they were about five feet in front of her, she looked up at them. It seemed when Johnny saw her, he looked speechless, making her blush until Buster spoke.
"Hi. Are you the friend who helped Rosita?" he asked.
"I am," Jamie nodded.
That's when the piglets cheered and tackled her in hugs, repeatedly thanking her for what she did. Norman rushed to get them off her, but she and the others couldn't help but laugh. Then Johnny helped her up and when they locked eyes, it felt like time stopped. They soon snapped out of it shyly before Meena spoke up.
"Can you tell us what happened?" she wondered.
"Yeah, 'cause I am totally confused," Porsha added.
"Sure. I'm new in town and I was just walking around, enjoying the sights when I saw these three large bears chasing Rosita until they got to an alley. I overheard them saying this guy named Mike told them she had their money and they would've done some damage, but I took care of them and made sure she was okay," Jamie explained.
The others seemed to look shocked at this.
"I'm guessing you know about them?" Jamie asked, pretending she didn't know about that.
"Yeah. Mike promised the prize money from our last local show to them and he's always owed them money since he cheated them out of their money in a game of poker," Ash told her.
"I wasn't there for that, but it was so not cool," Porsha remarked.
"Oh. Well, only in that case am I on the bears' side," Jamie said, making the others nod a little, then she introduced, "I'm Jamie by the way."
"I'm Buster Moon and these are Meena, Ash, Gunter, Porsha, Norman, who is Rosita's husband, their kids, and Johnny," Buster introduced.
"Nice to meet you," Jamie said.
Then Rosita came out, escorted out by a police officer to her family and friends, where her kids tackled her to the ground in a hug. The others laughed a bit at that before helping her up.
"Ma'am," the cop called to Jamie then requested, "Can you come back with me?"
"Sure," Jamie nodded.
She followed him in the back, but turned to make eye contact with Johnny. He nodded to her with a smile and she returned both gestures before going in.
