Summary
     A series that shows more of females of the movies, featuring Ash,
     Meena, and Rosita. Each character will experience changes after the
     events of their performances. Many are wonderful, others are new
     experiences and their lives will slowly change.
Notes
     First Sing Story, only Sing stories i will ever do(maybe) and this
     will be featured and mature work. I figured that the girls had only
     about 5 minutes of total screen time solo, while the males had more.
     Any help in this story is appreciated same with comments and ideas!
     Along with that, Put the underage character tag because... from what
     is appointed out is that Ash and Meena are considered teenagers, with
     Ash, I'm assuming 17-18 and Meena 15-17 so safe then sorry!!!
See the end of the work for more notes
Their Times to Shine
Aftermath: ASH
 
“Come on Ash! I said I was sorry!” The male porcupine begged as he stood before
her at her door.
“And I said, Shove off, Lance! The fact that you broke off with 'What's-her-
face', don't mean I'm gonna take you back!” The female porcupine stopped,
looking at her pathetic ex-boyfriend before giving him another huff. “Let me
guess… you didn't break up with her, she broke up with you… after you saw my
performance? She saw you gawking at me and thought you still had a thing for
me, right?”
Lance tried to deny it, only end up stuttering a bit.
Ash snorted before turning away.
“W-wait, wait! Ash please! I got no where else to go!”
“No Lance! After all the crap that I have dealt with from you, always pushing
me on the side, never giving me full credit or not even letting me do my own
thing. I ain't gonna let you drag me down anymore Lance! So… beat it!” With
that, she shot towards the opposite direction, (Accidentally) launching one of
her quills at him, causing him to yelp and ducked.
Ash didn't turn back to hear his yelp nor did she care. She slammed the door to
her place and sighed. She put her back against the door, waiting to hear him
come back and beg but, instead she heard him sigh followed by the sound of his
fading footsteps.
She let a small smile touch her lips. It's over, she thought.
It is over and something else has started. Her new life, her new career and her
new dream. One without a shitty boy… ex-boyfriend to hold her back. It was just
her now and that was all that mattered. Well… not just her but her own goal.
She had others to work with now. Seven others to be exact… err six now since
Mike kept disappearing every now and then. Poor mouse that never knew that he
could cut his loses, sell his sports car and be free of that Bear. Oh well.
Walking towards her living room, she sat on the floor to and set her laptop on
her legs to catch the latest news. So far, its been two weeks since the
performance, she has kept watch on what her performance had brought to the
table and the crowd for it has been outstanding. Hundreds of animals have been
sending her emails, complimentary cards, requests for upcoming performances and
more. Even a few record labels have been requesting to do business with them.
Buster Moon warned her not to take any right away, to be cautious because some
of them would and will take advantage of her by making claims of making her
'rich' and 'famous'. Any calls or requests she would receive, she would decline
them until further notice. But for now, she was happy where she was at. She
couldn't ask for nothing more but….
A solid knock on the door paused her thought process. Ugh! She almost growled
as she quickly set her laptop to her side, before jumping to her feet and
storming to her door. If it was Lance again, she swears, she is going grab one
of her quills and shove it up so far up his tail hole that…
“Um… Ash? It's uh… uh me, Becky.” came the muffled response through the door.
What… the… actual… fu… Did this little hussy really come back here? After the
fact that she was with Lance and no doubt sleeping with him! She has the nerve
to come here and…
“I know I am probably the last person you want to see right now,” No Shit. Now
she is wondering if this is Lance's doing. “But… I uh… wanted to apologize and
say… that I did leave Lance but not for the reason you are thinking of.” There
was a pause. “I saw your performance … re watched in fact and came to
congratulate you for it.”
She huffed silently but made no move towards the door. How much she wanted to
stab her in the eye was a varying factor if she could get away with it or if
the prison time would be worth it. Still, the girl was just announcing that she
wanted to apologize, not that it would matter, and that she saw how well she
did.
“I know you may think this is some ploy or something but it is not, it is not
some joke or some prank. I really want to say that you were… amazing…
astounding even. I never knew that you could rock so hard that… well that I
actually was jealous of your performance.” Ash could feel the sincerity of
voice coming through the door and wondered if she was legit or she was just
good at acting. She drummed her digits on her arms, weighing out her options.
She really wanted to hate the girl, but something nagged at her to listen and
wait.
“Like I said, I know you don't want to see me but I uh… left Lance because he
treated me the same way he did to you and I don't want to be with a male who is
too self absorbed and not care for his partner. When he told me that you wanted
to sing alongside with him and that it was no good for the band, that he should
only be lead singer, I thought I could change him on the matter. At first we
did but he just said it wouldn't work out. After your performance, I caught him
watching it over and over again and knew he was not over you.” Another pause
before the sound of a large exhale was heard. “Anyways, so I uh, left him when
he continued to push me down. I thought I could get through him like you tried
but… I guess no girl can.”
Ash chuckled at that, knowing that it was very true. If a hardcore like herself
or a softy like Becky couldn't get him to change, did he have any chance with
another girl? Gods no! “Along with the fact that I actually enjoyed your
performance, even calling him an idiot for leaving you, I think he should have
let you sing.” Ash's face went blank and now… she felt happy to hear that from
her, her attitude quickly changed. Oh gods, she actually felt sorry for the
girl, dammit! “So again, congratulations for the… Amazing performance. I hope
you do well in your future… you deserve it.”
The sound of a few footsteps were heard before Ash somewhat gave a perplexed
look at her door and quickly opened it up to see the other female porcupine
leaving. Becky heard the door open and turned cautiously to see Ash standing
there. She didn't look angry but she seemed apprehensive and had a calm
demeanor around her.
“Do you mean it?”
Becky nodded.
“I do.”
Ash studied her for a moment.
“And you came by to apologize and congratulate me?”
“Yes,” she said with a genuine smile. “You deserve it… both of them.”
Ash gave her a gentle smile
“Thank you.”
“Your welcome.” she paused. “For what is worth, I would love to see you perform
again. Maybe even learn something or two from you on how to perform… you know,
solo style.”
Ash gave a nod before motioning her head.
“Wanna come inside for a bit?”
Becky hesitated and looked around her area.
“I don't want to intrude. I mean, I just saw Lance leave your place before I
came here. It would be uncomfortable if he came back or something.”
“Trust me, he ain't coming back now or ever. Besides, if anything, it might
show him that it was really him that was the problem, not us.”
Becky smiled at that and walked in with Ash. She let her through, looking
behind and around the street to see if there was any sign of him before closing
the door.
 
Beck walked in, knowing her way inside already and let Ash guide her towards
the kitchen.
“You know, for a girl your age, your surprisingly well off, especially with a
place like this.”
Ash chuckled.
“Ehh, believe it or not, my folks send money every know and then to help but I
perform where I can and the money comes easy if you know your areas.”
Becky nodded.
“But now that your working at the theater, are you going to do a label or an
album? I mean, you must have hundreds of animals asking for you right now,
right?”
Ash waved if off, walking towards her small kitchen. Reaching the fridge, she
pulled out a bottle of soda. She normally would have drank straight out of it,
but the fact that she had a guest, she reached for two cups on the counter to
pour.
“Too many to count, too many that are fake. For now though, I just want to
enjoy what I have. I been with Lance for years and we had done good for awhile
if only for his enjoyment. Now that I just have the theater, I can pursue my
own goals.” She poured both glasses, offering one to Becky who took it with
stride. “Now that you aren't with Lance, what are you going to do?”
The other porcupine shrugged. She took a sip of her drink before replying.
“Like I said, maybe take some lessons from you…. Uh, if you don't mind that is
and make my own way, just like you.”
Ash gave a prolonged look at her, trying to find anything to give herself a
reason to hate or even find an excuse to kick Becky out. So far, her words have
been meaningful and filled with truth. She may not know she was just a sudden
replacement for Lance but she couldn't blame Becky for not knowing what she was
getting into. Lance more or less manipulated Becky to become a replacement for
her and get back at Ash for taking her place at the theater. Either way, Lance
had lost two girls in a matter of weeks and hopes that he learns something from
this.
“I can't say I will have time to teach you, since I myself am still practicing
but I will say that maybe, if it will call to it, we can learn together. At the
theater, Nana Noodleman hired someone to give me a few more lessons from other
singers.”
“Wow!” Becky said excitedly. “Anyone famous?”
Ash gave a shake of head.
“I don't think she wants to spend that kind of money, especially since Buster
Moon practically owes his life to her… us as well… I think. Anyways, so for
now, I just recieve online lessons from these guys, maybe once in awhile
they'll come over for paws on experiences, but that’s about it. Though it helps
they give me a few pointers about writer's block and vocals.”
“Your performance song… was that your own?”
Ash nodded, taking a sip of her drink before walking from the kitchen towards
her laptop on the floor. Becky followed and both sat across from each other.
“I started that as soon as the auditions for the 'Prize Money' began.” she
said, 'quoting' with her digits on the 'Prize Money'. Becky nodded in
understanding. “When I began practicing without Lance,” she spoke his name in
disdain, sending a chill down Becky's spine as she realized she might bring
back it was her fault. Ash quickly saw her discomfort and quickly grabbed her
hand. “Sorry, I don't uh… blame you for him. At least… not all of it.”
Becky gave a sad smile.
“It okay. I know that you do still. And I don't blame you. Lance told me that
he had a girlfriend already but that you were open minded and...”
“Wait, he said I was open minded?” she asked in disbelief, retracting her hand.
“That I was open minded about what?”
Becky blushed and felt awkward about bringing it up. Rubbing her left arm, she
spoke softly and low.
“He said that… you wouldn't mind if I slept with him…. Or you.”
Mouth left agape, Ash didn't respond to that. It caught her off guard and that
left an uncomfortable silence was between them and despite looking away from
her, Becky could feel the gaze of Ash's eyes on her. Not knowing if she ruined
any chance at this friendship she might have started, she slowly stood up.
“Sorry. I know that was… not okay. I didn't want to bring him up again. I'll
leave.”
Just as she began to walk out, Ash quickly shot up and blocked her only exit
out, somewhat startling Becky.
“Wait, hold on. You just said that he thought I wouldn't mind you sleeping with
him or me?”
Despite the uncomfortable and scarred feeling running through her, she couldn't
help but blush and nod.
“He said that… well, not to shove any wrong words in his mouth but… he said
that you were… 'Bi-Curious', like most teen girls are. Not to say all girls are
like that but...”
“Are you?” Ash asked suddenly.
Becky's shaky eyes met hers. Ash wasn't angry as she expected, rather she
seemed confused or curious, which, she couldn't tell.
“Am I what?”
Becky raised a brow and crossed her arms.
“Seriously?”
Becky was getting really uncomfortable and she wanted to desperately leave but
Ash was blocking her path. Rubbing her arm more, she gave a deep exhale.
“No I am not 'Bi-Curious',” she said lowly. “I am Bi all the way. I been with
both before. Never lasted because one hated the other or were just… turned off
by the idea of the other sex being with me.” Becky turned away, walking away
with Ash looking at her back. “That's kind of the reason I even stayed with
Lance. I was hoping that you would be interested, especially since he mentioned
it. I mean, I thought you would but when you blew both of us off...”
“He did just bring a random girl into my home without permission,” Ash said
huffily. “No offense, but at the moment, I wasn't thinking about having sex
with another girl, just the fact that he was A; singing a duet with a random
girl and not his own girlfriend and B; that he didn't mention you at all while
I was out performing.”
Becky nodded and continued.
“I know and again, I am sorry about that. I wish he would have gave you some
warning or at least acknowledged but that… 'Idiot', said you would be fine with
it right away and I was actually…. Excited at the concept that there might be a
couple I could finally belong to. One with a boyfriend and a girlfriend.”
“So your uh… whats the word…. Polya…. Pelya?”
“Polyamorous?”
Ash nodded.
“Um… I don't think so. I mean, like I said, I was in relationships with both
before but never at the same time or for very long. I just wished to enter one
where I can have both. I know… it sounds selfish but… like I said, I was peeved
that Lance brought me into this though, knowing that you weren't even
interested in other girls. Though, I was also kind of annoyed that you didn't
give me a chance to explain but I still blame him for that.”
Another silence fell before them and this time, the two girls were at odd ends
with one another. One couldn't speak and the other didn't want to say anymore.
It was broken off with the sound of Ash's cellphone ringing at the counter.
Thank gods, both thought. Ash gave her a look before saying, “Just… give me a
sec.”
Becky nodded and waited.
Ash quickly looked towards it and saw Buster's number. She immediately picked
it up and answered.
“Hey Moon! How's it going?”
Becky didn't pay attention to the conversation as she stood where she was. She
was thinking of how to diffuse this situation before it got any worse.
Currently, she had a feeling she now made this conversation more awkward and
heated then it should have been. Worse, she brought out a secret she didn't
mean to get out, let alone to a girl she secretly finds attractable, especially
after the performance.
Gods, she had seen it more than 20 times now. She had it recorded onto her
computer and phone; had an edited version of Ash's song and even went to get
the same clothing she had worn during the concert. The red blouse with a light
violent dress was beautiful and she actually got tingly seeing her in it. Oh,
but that is not what she actually wanted to see Ash in, no. She wouldn't have
mind seeing Ash in the same outfit, that other mammal was wearing. Her friend
the pig. Oh… that was beautiful. Now, she was a teen like Ash herself but she
honestly found that mother to be hot in that thing. So tightly fit to her round
frame. Now to see that on Ash that sent a blush to her cheeks and a warm
feeling around her gut as she really would kill to see her in that. The outfit
itself didn't reveal a lot but just the type of clothing on someone like her,
the image itself just got light reaction out from her…. A dream where it may
never come true.
“Okay Bye Moon!” she clicked the phone and put it back on the counter. “Sorry
about that. Moon wants me back and… are you okay?” she asked, staring at Becky
who looked like Meana after the performances with cameras in her face. Becky's
face was a bit red and she look really uncomfortable.
“Yeah, I just… really need to go.” She tried to again reach for the door. Becky
quickly grabbed her arm and pulled her to face her.
“Now wait, I know we are not done here.”
Becky jerked her arm away from her and looked at her angrily, though from the
look of her eyes, Ash could see moisture beginning to form.
“What more do you want me to say?” she almost yelled. “That I am a weirdo?!
That I like guys and girls and you don't?! That…I-I let some guy lead me into
thinking that I had a shot with him and his girl?! I don't even know why he
lied to me that you were interested or curious in the first place.” she wiped
away the tears that fell from her eyes. “For once, I thought I could be with
two people who would accept me for who I am and that they wouldn't use me for
sex, or pity to get back at others or...”
Ash quickly wrapped her arms around her, bringing her to a hug, just as she
began sobbing. Becky was surprised by the sudden hug but she cried softly on
Ash's shoulder, feeling her rub her shoulder's. Ash had forgotten the earlier
discomfort with her and just hoped to ease her down from her emotions.
It was something Rosita taught her and despite not being a mom, Ash knew that
its always best to calm someone down by hugging them. Don't talk, just let them
cry and they will talk to you.
Though it took awhile, Becky calmed down and settled onto Ash's shoulder. Ash
was never the touchy, feely type, let alone with a random stranger, yet, Becky
and her were both trying to deal with a mammal whom was to full of himself and
only wanted to have a girlfriend to be cool.
Becky pulled back, sniffing a bit and Ash gave her a warm smile.
“Better?”
Becky nodded.
“Thank you.” She sniffed rubbing her eyes before she looked at Ash. She stared
back.
Becky quickly pushed her lips to Ash, causing her to cry out in surprise but it
was muffled by the kiss. Becky quickly pulled back and realized her mistake all
to well.
“I-I...” she looked like she was about to cry again.
Ash was still shocked by the sudden action but quickly recovered.
“What?”
“I'm sorry!” she almost screamed with tears once again forming.
Ash put her finger on her mouth and stopped her from speaking. She inhaled,
holding it in for two seconds before releasing and speaking in a calm voice.
“I get it, Becky, I do. And for what its worth, yeah, I am a little 'curious',
so to speak, but for now, we are going to take this slow. Alright?”
Becky nodded and calmed down at bit. Slow. She could take it slow and then
maybe, they could try again.
End Notes
     Any help would be appreciated. Comments are wonderful too! some
     understanding on certain character physiques would be beneficial
     because im clueless to how certain species work and how their
     modernized habits work.
     The tags are stated because of how the story will be approached. The
     heavy of it is female on female.
     Lastly, i had this planned weeks before any other story involving
     Ash/Becky fics came out so not trying to steal or copy anyone, just
     havent posted it because of computer issues. Along with that, i kept
     messing up on certain things between this movie and Zootopia so its a
     pain to not grasp certain things right away.
