Chapter 27: Shocked to see Clay and More Struggles

Ash and Buster made it to where Miss Crawly went to visit Clay and got to the gate. Through it, they could see Clay working on his motorcycle.

"Oh, my gosh. There he is. That’s him," Ash pointed out.

"Holy moly, it really is," Buster agreed.

"He doesn’t look so scary," she said.

"Mr. Calloway!" he called.

"Go away!" Clay yelled.

"No, please. We-we-we just want to talk to you for one minute. That’s all," Buster replied.

No response except him continuing to work on his motorcycle.

"We are not leaving until you talk to us," Ash said, no response, then she continued as she and Buster went to the fence, "Fine. If you’re not coming over here, we’re coming over to you."

"No! Stay off the fence!" Clay warned.

"Don’t listen to him," Ash said as she and Buster grabbed the bars.

They were then shocked and knocked out.

Then back at rehearsals, Porsha soared through the air as Rosita watched, sad she couldn't make the jump. Then Porsha and Gunter tried to grab each other, but they missed and Gunter rammed into a meteor prop.

"Stop, stop, stop! Porsha, you’re still messing it up," Miss Crawly remarked.

Porsha groaned then insisted, "It’s not my fault. He keeps missing the catch."

"I think she’s trying to kill me," Gunter moaned as he was lowered to the ground.

"Reset. Let’s go again," Miss Crawly said then remarked, "Meena! Darius! We’re coming to you next, and I better see some chemistry between you two."

"Okay, let’s run these steps one more time," Darius suggested.

They went to a rehearsal room and they went over their moves.

"So, music starts, I step out, do my moves, fancy moves," Darius instructed as he snapped,

"Step together, drop," he and Meena jinxed.

"Gazing at each other like we’re burning up with love…" Darius said, groaned when he looked at Meena, then asked, "What are you doing with your face?"

Meena was forcing a smile on her face.

"Your face looks broken. What is that?" Darius continued.

"Uh…I was falling in love?" Meena answered questionably.

"Yeah, Gina, listen. I’m sorry, that-that’s not what falling in love with me looks like. I…I should know. I see it day after day, week after week," Darius chuckled then said, "Let’s run it again. From the top! And five, six, seven, eight. And one…"

But at that, Meena burst out and just leaned against the wall, closing her eyes.

"Would you like some ice cream, ma’am?" a voice asked.

Meena opened to see a male elephant, Alfonso, standing in front of her with ice cream cones.

"Or should I say, Your Majesty?" Alfonso continued.

"Uh…" Meena started.

"I just…You look like a goddess, and, uh…and-and-and lucky for you, it’s 'free ice cream for all goddesses' day," he said, holding an ice cream out to her.

"Aw," Meena chuckled.

When they both held the ice cream cone, Meena felt time stop as she got lost in Alfonso's eyes. He soon let go, making her snap back to reality.

"That’s cherry cheesecake, and I-I make it all myself. See, my truck’s right over there. Come by anytime…Your Majesty," Alfonso told her, bowing to her a bit.

Meena covered her face with her ears before attempting to go back inside, but ran into the door.

"Ooh, that…Are you okay?" Alfonso asked.

She just opened the door and hid, ice cream on her ears and top of her trunk. But then she sighed in content, now knowing that feeling of finding someone special.

A/N Meena and Alfonso are too cute together!
