Chapter 17: Rosita's New Fear
Buster tried to call Miss Crawly later that day.
"Hello. I can't take your call right now, but please leave me a message after the beep," Miss Crawly's voicemail sounded.
"Miss Crawly, it's me, Mr. Moon. I haven't heard from you in a while. I'm starting to worry here," Buster said in the phone.
"Moon!" Crystal called.
"Mr. Crystal," Buster greeted as he hung up.
"Your set designs are a disgrace," Crystal remarked angrily.
"What?" Buster asked.
Then Crystal went from mad to laughing.
"I'm just messing with you. Where's your sense of humor, huh?" Crystal asked, patting Buster's head.
Buster chuckled nervously at that.
"Anyway, this is my daughter, Porsha," Crystal introduced.
"Hey," Porsha said, taking her sunglasses off.
"Nice to meet you, Porsha," Buster greeted.
"She wants to meet Calloway. Big fan, aren't you, baby?" Crystal replied.
"Oh my gosh. I'm like so into vintage right now," Porsha said, showing her Clay Calloway shirt.
"So where is he?" Crystal wondered.
"Uh, we'll...I'm not expecting Clay on set just yet. I mean--" Buster started.
"Wait. Is this like a sky-fi show?" Porsha asked.
"Uh, sci-fi? Yes. Yes it is," Buster answered.
"Oh my gosh, I love sky-fi," Porsha commented.
"Mr. Moon! We're ready on the tower!" Sasha called.
"Oh. Thank you, Sasha!" Buster responded then told Crystal, "We, uh...we're gonna rehearse, Mr. Crystal, so..."
"Yeah yeah yeah yeah. You go and do your rehearsing thing. Go go go go," Crystal told him.
"Playback," Buster called.
Sasha secured Rosita's harness for the jump.
"Okay. All set. Just remember to release the safety catch before you jump, okay?" Sasha instructed.
"Okay, yeah," Rosita nodded.
"Is Mommy gonna jump off that?" Hannah asked.
"She sure is," Buster answered.
The piglets got all excited.
"This takes me back to our duet when I won the sing-off against Brooke," Jamie whispered to Johnny happily.
"Yeah. I can see that," Johnny whispered back with a smile.
Rosita then sang as she walked to the edge.
[ROSITA:]
"If you want it, take it
I should have said it before
Try to hide it, fake it
I can't pretend anymore"
But as soon as Rosita got to the edge, she started panicking a bit. Her breathing quickened as she felt as if she was further from the ground than she really was.
"Oh my gosh!" she panicked, collapsed to her knees, then said, "Gunter."
"Mr. Moon, I think Rosita is like having like a major freak-out out!" Gunter said.
"Oh no," Buster said then ran for the lift.
"I'm gonna go check on her," Jamie whispered to Johnny.
"Okay. Be careful," Johnny replied before kissing her cheek.
She smiled then went with Buster.
"Hey Moon, you really think the mommy pig is gonna pull this off?" Crystal asked.
"'Mommy pig'?" Norman questioned.
"For your information, I consider her Super-Mom," Jamie remarked to Crystal as she and Buster got on the lift.
"Absolutely, sir. Believe me, there is nothing Rosita can't do," Buster added as they went up then asked Jamie quietly, "You think she's okay?"
"I hope so. I've never known her to have any fears. I mean, anyone who can have 25 piglets and adopt a gorilla ought to be able to handle anything," Jamie answered.
"Let's just see what's going on," Buster replied.
