Chapter 6: The Big Moment

After a few more rehearsals, it was time for Gazelle's big debut. On the night of the concert, almost everyone in the city bought a ticket, and filled the seats in the theater. Backstage Gazelle was wearing her classic pink top and skirt and heels.

Her stylists were just making her over in her dressing room, when someone knocked on the door. "Come in." said Gazelle. Trevor opened the door, and walked in. "You almost ready, Gazelle?" he asked.

"Just about." she answered. "And there, your makeup's fabulous." said one of the stylists. "And your hair's stunning." said the other. Buster then peeked his head in the door. "Gazelle, we're ready for you." he said.

"I'm coming." said Gazelle. Gazelle got up from her seat, and walked towards the stage. "Hey, Gazelle wait a minute." said a voice. She turned around, and saw Buster's other performers. "Hi, guys, what's up?" Gazelle asked.

"We just wanted to apologize." said Rosita. "Yeah, we judged you before we even knew you." added Mike. "It's all right, I can understand how you would feel if someone like me suddenly appeared." said Gazelle.

They smiled and Gazelle smiled back. "Gazelle, you're on." said Trevor. "Gotta go." said Gazelle and she went on stage. Buster stood on his moon and greeted everyone. "Good evening all animals small and large. We have a very special star here tonight, so put your hands together for Gazelle of Zootopia."

The audience applauded, and the moon and curtains rose, to reveal Gazelle. "Good evening Animalia. It's great to be here tonight with you, and I'm gonna do a song that's a favorite in my home city of Zootopia." said Gazelle into the microphone.

Eddie started the music, her tiger dancers appeared, lights flashed, and Gazelle started singing her signature song, "Try Everything". As she sand and danced around she impressed everyone in the audience, even Nana Noodleman.

"Gee Gazelle's got a really good voice." said Meena. "Yeah, no wonder she's so famous." said Ash. "She's great." said Johnny. "Ja, she and those tigers can really move." added Gunter. "Try everything." she finished singing, and the whole place cheered and applauded.

"Thank you, Animalia." she said. "Wasn't that great folks, we just had the great opportunity to see Zootopia's biggest star perform." said Buster. After thanking the crowd once more, Gazelle walked off the stage, and everyone cleared the theater.

When she got back to her dressing room, she couldn't believe what was at her vanity. A large bouquet of roses sat on the desk. She picked up the card that was in it, and read it. "To Gazelle, thank you for coming, and sharing your kindness with us. From the crew at Moon Theater." she read.

Outside the dressing room, the others watched as she read the card. "I think she likes them." whispered Rosita. "Yeah, they were a good idea." said Mike.

A couple days later it was time for Gazelle and her crew to return home to Zootopia. They stopped off at the theater to say goodbye to everyone. "I really enjoyed my time here, and thanks for the flowers." she said.

"We really enjoyed having you." said Buster. "Yeah, it was great to meet a pop star." added Eddie. "Yes, and I hope you can forgive my rude behavior when we first met." said Nana Noodleman. "I can but what was the reason for it?" asked Gazelle.

"I have to admit I was a little jealous, I thought you'd make everyone in Animalia forget about me, since you're so young and I'm...not so young anymore." Nana Noodleman explained. "I wouldn't do that, Ms. Noodleman." said Gazelle.

"You'll come back won't you?" asked Meena. "I'd like that." said Gazelle. "And this city is a great place to take a vacation." said Trevor. "Ms. Gazelle, Mr. Spencer, we have to get to the airport now." said Victor.

"Okay, Victor. Thanks again for everything, Mr. Moon." said Trevor. "No problem, be sure to give me a call whenever you want to have Gazelle perform here again." said Buster. "I will." said Trevor, as he and Gazelle got into the limo.

"Goodbye." said Gazelle, as the limo drove off, and the other animals waved back. Gazelle certainly made an impression on them, and it was sure a good one.
