This idea just kind of 'popped' into my head when watching part of Phantom of the Opera today. I don't count it as a crossover because all the characters will be Finding Nemo characters. Anyway, hope you guys enjoy it!
I don't own Disney or Phantom of the Opera.
~Paris Opera 1911~
People were gathered in the old theatre for an auction as another carriage pulled up. A nurse hopped out of the carriage first and grabbed a folded up wheelchair and set it up by the side of the carriage. An older man wobbled by the carriage door, and took a look around the old opera house. It still looked almost as grand and rich as he vaguely remembered.
After getting settled in the wheelchair, the nurse pushed him inside the opera house. The auctioneers voice could be heard while entering inside.
"Sold!"
There were then a few claps of applause as the auctioneer continued.
"The next one please thank you. The next lot then ladies and gentlemen:
a poster for this house's production of "Hannibal" by Chalumeau.
A man holding the poster shouted out.
"Showing here!"
He unraveled it, and everyone started the bids. The old man who just entered bid the highest of eight francs. After it was sold, the auctioneer went on.
"Sold to Marlin, Vicomte de Chagny, thank you sir. Now the next lot ladies and gentleman a wooden pistol and three human skulls from the 1831 production of "Robert le Diable" by Meyerbeer."
After the pistol was sold, Marlin's eyes perked up when he saw the main reason he was here, the figure of the monkey. It was the next bid.
"Next lot ladies and gentlemen: a papier-mâché musical box,
in the shape of a barrel-organ. Attached, the figure of a monkey in Persian robes playing the cymbals. This item, discovered in the vaults of the theatre, still in working order.
The same man who held the poster lifted up the monkey.
"Showing here!"
The monkey started playing that haunting tune that Marlin knew all too well. He had to win it.
"May I start at twenty francs? Fifteen, then? Fifteen I am bid."
Marlin bids fifteen, and then a familiar woman raises the bid. Marlin bid once more, and looked pleadingly at the woman. She smiled slightly and surrendered bidding against him. The auctioneer slammed his little hammer down on the table and ended that bid.
"Sold to the, Vicomte de Chagny, thank you sir."
The nurse hands the musical box to Marlin. He took it in his hands and studied it. Then he started singing quietly to himself and the box.
"A collector's piece indeed. .
Every detail exactly as she said…
She often spoke of you, my friend...
Your velvet lining, and your figurine of lead.
Will you still play, when all the rest of us are dead?"
The auctioneer interrupted his thoughts, as he continued the bidding.
"Next lot then, then: a chandelier in pieces. Some of you may recall the strange affair of the Phantom of the Opera: a mystery never fully explained."
The auctioneer looked at the familiar woman, and then at Marlin before continuing.
"We are told ladies and gentlemen, that this is the very chandelier, which figures, in the famous disaster. Our workshops have restored it and fitted up parts of it with wiring for the new electric light, so that we may get a hint of what it may look like when re- assembled. Perhaps we may frighten away the ghost of so many years ago with a little illumination…"
The auctioneer motioned to a few men that were near a large curtain covering something.
"Gentlemen!"
The men pulled off the cover, revealing the shattered chandelier. Marlin gasped slightly at the sight of it. Many thoughts flooded his head all at once, as the past started coming back into this opera house…
