[Just a heads up, considering these characters are mostly adults, there are times where they do drink, not a huge content warning, but there's at least one drink with a name that's worth a heads up.

And on to your regularly scheduled programing]

*The tannoy of the dressing rooms go off*

Tannoy: All contestants of 2022, please make your way to the staging arena, the show will start in 3 minutes! Repeat, all contestants of 2022, please make your way to the staging arena!

Firework: Oh, that's us!

Doughnuts: I can't believe this is the last time we all perform together.

Firework: I know, I wish the time didn't go so fast!

Panda: I know, I'm gonna miss the rehearsal sessions and all the songs.

Rockhopper: Yeah, I love you awesome weirdos!

Mushroom: Considering you work in a circus, I'll that "Weirdos" comment slide..

Rockhopper: You know what I mean!! Gosh, I'm gonna miss performing with you guys.

Panda: Hey, we're gonna be sticking around in this place. It's not like we'll never see each other again.

Mushroom: Exactly. Now let's go out there and give it our all in this finale!

Panda: Oh, I think Poodle and RoboBunny are waiting for us out there... wow, and I'm going back out there again too!! I don't believe it!!

Mushroom: It's so exciting!! I hope all the rehearsals and practising has paid off!!

*They all start to make their way to the stage. Mushroom and Panda start to whisper to each other*

Panda: So, you think our plan is gonna work?

Mushroom: Well, he seemed a bit off-put by the song choice, though... I'm not sure why, he never said. But he was fine to do it nevertheless.

Panda: Maybe it's not his type of song to sing?

Rockhopper: What are you girls whispering about?

Panda: It's nothing, just finalist stuff! We're talking about our medals.

Rockhopper: Ok then..

*Everyone is now on the stage, ready to perform the group song*

[C]*Meanwhile in another dressing room*

Queen Bee: What's the matter, Robin? You nervous?

Robin: Uh... No way, I can work with this... No problem..

Queen Bee: Ah, is it about going back out there?

Robin: A bit... but there's something else too.

Queen Bee: You wanna talk about it?

Robin: Well... I feel like I'm doing something wrong...

Queen Bee: With the Mushroom?

Robin: Kinda... I know it's just a performance... No, I'll be ok, right?

Queen Bee: Intimidated?

Robin: Yes and no... but I mean... uh...

*Robin looks down at his phone, he's looking at a selfie he took with Rockhopper*

Queen Bee: Oh... I understand now... Do you miss seeing HER up there?

Robin: I really do... it's not gonna be the same without her in that competition.
