Ash was rocking the club when singing "Heads Will Roll".

"Off, off with your head
Dance, dance,'til you're dead
Heads will roll, heads will roll, on the floor

Off, off, off with your head
Dance, dance, dance,'til you're dead
Off, off with your head
Dance, dance,'til you're dead"

When she was done, the crowd cheered like crazy.

"Thank you so much! Good night!" Ash thanked before heading backstage.

She put her guitar down and took a sip of her drink before seeing a familiar face.

"Moon! Hey!" she greeted before hugging him.

"Wow! You were great out there!" Buster told her as they parted.

"I've gotta go back out for an encore," Ash replied.

"Okay. Hey, what are you doing after the show?" he asked.

"Uh, nothing," she shrugged.

"Listen, I know this is crazy short notice, but you always said you'd come back to work with us when the time was right," Buster reminded.

"Of course," Ash nodded happily.

"Well, this is that time," he said before someone bumped into him.

"Here. Paycheck," the manager, Rick, told Ash, handing her her check.

"I'm getting the gang together to go audition for a huge show," Buster continued as Ash noticed something about the check.

"Just a second," she told Buster then asked the manager, "Hey, Rick. How come you're paying only half what the other acts get?"

"I pay what I think you're worth, sweetheart," Rick remarked.

"Oh, okay. See, I have this rule about not letting guys like you tell me what I'm worth, so you know, unless I get paid like everyone else, I'm out of here," she stated.

"This is the only club in town. Where else you gonna play?" he laughed like it was a joke.

"I have no idea, but I'm sure as heck not sticking around here," Ash remarked, through her drink away, then told Buster, "Let's go."

Buster laughed in delight as he lead the way and Ash packed up her guitar.

"Wait a minute! You gotta do the encore! Hey, Ash!" Rick called.

"Deal with it, sweetheart!" Ash remarked as she and Buster headed out.
