When You and Jimmy's Marriage Fell Apart (And the Time He Nearly Killed You)

Over the next few months, you and your bandmates got to work on Operation Divorce. While the entire band and you would seemingly follow Jimmy Crystal's demands for the Anniversary show to the letter, behind the scenes is where the real work was being done.

Everything was falling into place. The alternate costumes were chosen. The pyrotechnics were up and running. The list of songs you and your band would perform was chosen and rehearsed. One of your bandmates was able to call in favor of a lioness named Ruby to essentially be your getaway driver. You called your parents to inform them about your current situation and plan to take you and their granddaughter to their home.

Everything was set. Yet, as the day of the anniversary concert crawled close and hours started to tick down, for the first time in a long time, you felt yourself growing anxious to be on stage. Sure, you've been anxious before early in your career, but never the type of anxiety that threatens to steal your breath away and leave you frozen on the spot.

However, with some encouraging words from your band, friends, and your daughter Porscha (who was there to watch you from behind the scenes), you were able to steel yourself and strut to the stage with your band behind your back

Jimmy wasn't lying when he told you this concert would be BIG. The stadium you and your band were performing in was packed to the very back overflowing the stands, your fans' cheers were deafening. And Smack dab in the middle of the VIP front seats was Jimmy Crystal. He wasn't cheering like everyone else around him, but he wasn't exactly showing you any support. No matter.

It's showtime anyways

You give a little greeting and thank you to everyone in the audience for coming to see you and your band perform tonight, singling out Jimmy Crystal in the crowd when announcing that tonight it's both your anniversary tonight. You make sure to emphasize your gratitude to Jimmy and how you dedicated this show specifically to him before breaking into your first song. The stage was dressed in pristine white with turquoise and gold accents, with a props made to look like crystals decorating the stage. You were dressed in white with frills and your signature flowers, while the rest of your band were dressed in turquoise. All of you dressed as if you were at a wedding.

For the first few songs, all of you performed as Jimmy Crystal specified, yet the latter couldn't help but pick up the subtle digs you threw his way while singing. However, he didn't think much of it as you threw flirty winks and blew kisses at him, which he proudly accepted as his fellow VIPS cheered for him.

Yet, the change became evident when your next song started with a slow guitar riff that proceeded to speed up. You locked eyes with Jimmy as you got to the crescendo. At the precise moment the high note hit, you ripped off your earlier costume to reveal a far more colorful and wild outfit underneath. That was the signal for the rest of the band to do the same, revealing their own bizarre outfits and makeup almost like warpaint. The stage lights then darken to a red to match your fury and passion, the prop crystals darken, and fire bursts from the sides of the stage with dry ice spilling out from all sides.

As the piece of resistance, the sign above the stage that read "Happy Aniversary" dropped to reveal a secondary sign reading "HAPPY DIVORCE". Signed by you and the rest of your band. Only a person with no eyes or ears would mistake your contempt for Jimmy as anything else. That especially is true when you rip off the necklace that Jimmy once gifted you.

On your last song, you got off the stage to sing every lyric about how you're sick of living under Crystal's thumb. Jimmy, feeling the millions of eyes staring at him and laughter echoing in his ears, tries to escape the burning spotlight you put him under. Yet, you would not let him go easily as you stalked him down the aisles until you cornered him. You only went back to the stage after taking off your wedding band to hand to your husband, before practically skipping away as if a heavy weight had finally been removed from your shoulders. You and your band finish the set proud and strong.

As the show finally came to an end fireworks started to go off above the stadium. However, you didn't miss your soon-to-be ex-husband speaking with his security.

Taking this as your cue, you quickly rush your goodbye to the crowd and give your thanks to your band before sprinting off the stage. You scoop up five-year-old Porscha and grab your go bags before rushing out behind the stadium to where Ruby is already waiting for you with a running car.

Porscha looks up at you with her big puppy eyes as you buckle her in place. She asks, "Where we goin' mommy?" You tell your shining star that both of you are going to visit Nana and Pop Pop.

You spot Jimmy Crystal just as he slams the backstage doors open, surrounded by his security. You're able to feel his cold eyes burning two holes into you, his lips curled back into a snarl, ears folded back, and claws bared on either side of him. The wolf before you was truly an animal.

"RUBY, GUN IT!"

The Lioness doesn't ask twice as your husband's team of men starts to rush towards all of you to surround you. They back away immediately when Ruby nearly runs over a grey wolf in front of her. You flip off Jimmy as all of you speed off onto the highway.

Ruby tried to assure you that you and Porscha were safe now, yet you had no illusions that Jimmy would follow shortly after you. However, you did not voice this to a shaken Porscha and assure her that nothing bad will happen to her.

"Is this because Daddy is mad at you?"

You didn't have a chance to give her an answer to placate her before, you noticed a familiar limo in the rearview mirror. You turn to Ruby and inform her about the limo behind you. The lioness looks out the corner of her eye, noticing your anxious expression as you hold your daughter's paw.

In an instant, Ruby has a mental "Fuck it." in her head before changing gears to go over the speed limit, weaving through multiple cars while paying no mind to their honking and drivers' angered shouts. Porscha lets out happy shrieks throughout the wild ride, feeling as if she's in a go-kart. Meanwhile, you dug your claws into your seat, shredding the fabric underneath. Yet, Ruby's insane driving was effectively shaking Jimmy off your tail.

Just when you thought that you were in the clear, In her haste, Ruby accidentally caused a traffic jam when she failed to comprehend the red light in time and then crashed into a police cruiser. Luckily, neither you nor Porscha were hurt besides you having some bruises from the airbag going off in your face.

The crash gave Jimmy enough time to start to catch up with you and Ruby. So the latter didn't waste any time telling you to scram when the cop got out of his car with Jimmy swiftly approaching. You give your thanks again to Ruby as you have Porscha piggy-backing on you with bags in hand, before then running from the scene.

While Porscha has no idea really why you ran through traffic before jumping from a bridge onto a bus, then landing in the bushes in a park, followed by you cutting through a carnival, she had to admit it she was having the time of her life! It's a shame you didn't get any cotton candy when you ran through the last place though. Although, you did promise her some later at Nana and Pop Pop's.

Your vision was blurring with your heartbeat roaring in your ears, you felt your legs were turning into lead, and drawing breath becoming harder to do with each passing second. Yet, seeing the airport up ahead, just a few meters in front of you gave you the push you needed to cross that finish line and through those automatic doors. You give a tired grin as you set down Porscha.

Finally, you and your star shine were free, free from the oppressive grip of your husband. You can start all over and live your days without having someone breathing down your neck or stuckling against their oppresive thumb...

Is the thought that crossed your mind. Unfortunately, in reality, you barely made it to security before more of Jimmy’s personal security surrounded you and Porscha

Your daughter didn’t understand why you were so scared, nor why were you dragged away from her. Nobody would explain anything to her, but she knew it wasn’t anything good.

You didn’t bother looking at Jimmy in the eyes as you “escorted” to his office. After dismissing his goons, it was just the two of you in his large and rather pretentious office. He while he appears more composed than earlier, you knew the feral animal you got a glimpse at earlier is still there judging by the claw marks on his solid oak desk.

you tensed, expecting him to lash out you with the same claws, and you could tell by the furious look in his cold eyes that he REALLY wanted to. But after a brief moment where you forgot to breathe, he gives a heavy sigh before gesturing you to follow him to his balcony overlooking all of Redshore City. The lights below shining brighter than the stars above to the point you can’t see them even this high up.

you stood beside him with a few feet as a buffer between you two. Jimmy is the first to speak, although it came out more as a growl which you barely caught over the sound of the wind.

”Why?…”

when you asked what he said, he snapped his head toward you with those cold eyes burning into your head. Without anything between you two, you are forced to take the full force of his fury and a step back.

”WHY? Why are you such an ingrate after EVERYTHING I did for this family?! For us?!?”

this time, a snark escapes from your muzzle as you growl back. You finally let him have it, voicing everything that you’ve been conditioned to keep to yourself. Ok how Jimmy isn’t really your husband anymore as much as he’s a manager that has to micromanage every aspect of her life. In fact, he ceased viewing you as a wife and more like arm candy for his fellow billionaires. You hoped he would improve when you both had a daughter, straighten his act for Porscha, but annihilated that hope when he couldn’t even do it for her! You wanted out, out from the city, and for Jimmy to be out of your life. When you finished, you crossed your arms and turned your back to Mr.Crystal, your decision final.

You didn’t have to look behind you to know that Mr. Crystal was huffing and puffing behind you, resembling every bit of the Big Bad Wolf from all those fairytales.

”Without me! You and your pathetic little band would have NEVER even know the smidge of success you have now! Without me, you’d be a couple of hopeless LOSERS forever playing from podunk town to podunk town!”

You probably shouldn’t have, but you turn around on your heel to get in Mr.Crystal’s space.

”At LEAST, I would be happier than I’ve ever been with you.

You didn’t see it coming when Mr. Crystal back handed you, causing you to stumble backwards. You feel your heart lodging itself in your throat, gasping when you feel yourself tipping over the balcony. Events from your life flashed before your eyes all at once. You can at least say, you lived a good life and stood up for yourself to the end…

only it wasn’t the end. At the last minute, Jimmy hurriedly grabbed you but the front of your shirt and hoisted you up with both paws, a panicked expression on his face.

it’s perhaps because of the adrenaline that ran through you both, that Mr. Crystal didn’t stop you from pushing him away and rushing past him and out his office door. His security waiting by the door and his little cat assistant didn’t stop you when you rushed out, heavily panting with pure TERROR on your face. Mr. Crystal ran after you a little too late.

He tried to quickly apologize and excuse himself at the same time, but you didn’t hear a single word from him. You could only hear your heart pounding in your ears from the near death experience at the hands of the man you onced loved. You didn’t bother gracing him with acknowledgment as you took the elevator down from the top of Crystal Towed.

In the Aftermath, you did get your divorce as you wanted. Although you didn’t receive full custody of Porsha, you were able to guilt trip/ black mail your ex husband enough to allow you summer and holidays visits. Along with his company cutting ties with Jimmy’s industry, with compensation for it.

afterward, it was a matter of you and your band rebuilding your lives without Mr.Crystal breathing down your necks. And while not big and spectacular as you once were, you and your band didn’t exactly fade into obscurity but became something more of a beloved classic from a bygone era. It was time for another group to take the stage, you only hope they fair better.

imagine your surprise when not only you saw your daughter part of a major hit musical, BUT your ex husband being thrown into the slammer as well. This news caused all of you and your band to burst out laughing until tears streamed out of your eyes. You couldn’t have been happier with your life.

A/N: Sorry it took awhile to get this done, but I got distracted with other projects. I do hope you enjoyed this installment as it’ll be the last one in a LONG while. Stay Weird, my fellow humans😁

When You and Jimmy Crystal Married

You didn't notice the tension with your band much as you and Jimmy were busy with the media losing their minds over your and Jimmy's engagement. You and Jimmy were soon swarmed with paparazzi taking pictures, live interviews, and interviews for magazines. For a few months, you two were the hottest topic; whatever you were doing, somehow someone brought up your engagement.

If you're being honest, you were kinda getting sick of that sort of attention. Yet, Jimmy on the other hand was more or less thrilled by the attention, reasoning how great this whole thing is for both of your reputations, including your band's.

All of this is not to mention how busy you were with planning your wedding for the next few weeks. You hoped for something small and intimate, with close friends and family invited. Granted, he wanted to go big with it, inviting over all sorts of theater bigwigs and celebrities, business associates, and reporters. He wanted almost clinical perfection, from the seating arrangements down to the napkins. You didn't really get much of a word in the planning, and when you try to bring it up, Jimmy would assure you he just wanted to give you the whole shaboodle.

"I just want to make this big day perfect for you."

And you believed him.

Of course, he didn't stop you from choosing your bridesmaids/best man. Despite the unseen strain with some of them, that didn't stop your friends/family from being excited for you to be getting married. Or you have a bachelorette party including a bonfire, some (slightly) illegal fireworks, and nearly everyone getting blown up by said fireworks if it weren't for the fact you were near an ocean. Needless to say, you may have singed yourself slightly.

You couldn't have been more ready to explode as you clutched your bouquet of sunflowers and (Favorite Flower). Your attention is fixed on Jimmy, waiting at the altar so you may officially call each other husband and wife. Despite having your (happily crying) father walking you down the aisle, you had half a mind to break from his grip and sprint to the altar as your beating heart demands of you. On the other hand, you were glad to have your father holding on to you because, you could've sworn your knees vanished into thin air, leaving them like jelly. You're also pretty sure you may vomit from how many knots and butterflies manifest in your gut.

Luckily, you didn't, as you made it to the altar just fine. Although, you could barely remain still as the officiant went through the usual spiel. All the while Jimmy gives you a soft and loving look into your heart eyes. He's able to smoothly speak his vows to you, in contrast to you, who more or less stuttered out yours with plenty of passion. Jimmy shouldn't be surprised, but he's caught off guard when the officiant that he may kiss the bride only for you to literally sweep him off his feet to plant a big kiss on his lips. He isn't complaining though as he just kisses back in response, much to the delight of both your friends and families. You also could've sworn that one of your cousins shot off a confetti cannon from the sounds of a BOOM followed by raining confetti, which mixes in with the thrown rice.

You were able to invite your band/friends and some family members, including your parents. In fact, you and Jimmy first met each other's folks at your wedding! Jimmy's folks were more on the stoic side, his father being a tall wolf with all the warmth of a marble statue and his mother being that of a regal queen. You felt talking to them was like talking to the cool kids back in high school, only this was with in-laws.

Your folks were very much the opposite, as they were pleased as punch to finally meet your dear Jimmy. In fact, it was your father who straight-up bawled when he witnessed you and Jimmy tie the knot while your mother basically held him, also teary-eyed. They welcomed your husband with open arms into the family, given how he's one of them now. Well, until either death or he breaks your heart, your father jokes with a smile that seems just a bit too friendly. A smile that made your new husband choke back on a whimper, but you laugh off.

You didn't think much about your father's threat/joke during your honeymoon with Jimmy on his yacht while out at sea to enjoy the tropical islands. Such as enjoying dining with your husband while watching the breathtaking sunset, before cuddling up to him as you both stargazed and chatted for hours. Jimmy claiming as much as he loves sunsets and sunrises, they don't compare to rising and setting with you every night. You damn near tackled Jimmy off the boat when you embraces him.

During that trip, you and Jimmy would go snorkeling at the coral reefs and scuba dive to an underwater city occupied by more aquatic folks for sightseeing. You and Jimmy loved being able to watch an entire aquatic performance underwater including, glowing squids, octopi playing drums, and dolphins doing acrobatics.

enjoyed all the perks at a resort where you were determined to try EVERY activity offered there, much to your husband's chagrin as you dragged him to every single one. That's not to say he hated them all, as he did enjoy the couples dancing class, marimba, and spa. He never thought he'd enjoy a seaweed wrap so much! He always loves hearing you sing as well, so karaoke hours weren't so bad as well, given how pride would swell in his chest as he watches you perform up on stage, sometimes singing songs with him in mind, making him fall for you all over again.

"That's my wife up there!"

You once heard Jimmy shout after you finished a song, causing you to smile widely and give a sheepish laugh.

Not surprisingly, you also would drag him up to the front of the crowd to sing a duet with you as you gaze deeply into one another's eyes.

Although he won't admit it and will take it to his grave, he did work a bit even during your honeymoon, specifically whenever you two were separated or you were too occupied to notice. He justifies to himself it wasn't too much though! Just a few minor emails and phone calls here and there, and helping out with some last-minute details, that's all! Besides, what you don't know won't hurt you...

After your honeymoon, things were more or less the same with both you and your band, you would say. Granted, you and your band sometimes would squabble amongst yourselves over financial, marketing, or creative differences. You also couldn't help but notice how YOU were getting a lot more attention from the public over your bandmates. Sure, you were always more or less the face-man of your band, but the fact this attention was also pushing your friends to the sidelines is something else. But you could easily talk with your husband to help fix this situation.

Right?
