Hello fan fiction world, as promised here is my Phantom of the Opera adaption Poppy and the Phantom. Now this will be different from all my other stories and adaptions because I am going to try to make this a artistic visual for your mind. What I mean like that is when i write the songs for the story I will also be explaining in detail the many visuals that i imagined during those numbers in order to give this the feel of Broadway. Because when you tackle Broadway you either go big or go home am i right?
Also I will be trying to mix the Broadway version with the movie in order to make this as epic as possible. So get in your seats and deluxe suites, it's show time. *sits in director's chair and grabs bullhorn* Lights camera, action!

A car pulls up in front of the old opera house. As the car parked a small young purple troll with green hair hopped out and excitedly ran to get a glimpse of the opera house.
"Hurry mom, hurry Grandma Poppy." The little eight year old troll girl said
"Whoa easy there Rosie." Poppy. a Older female pink troll said as she stepped out of the car, her hair was mostly white now with only strands of her original pink color remaining. "I'm seventy two here, not as fast as I once was."
"Rosie slow down!" Rosie's mother, A scarlet troll with Sapphire blue hair called out, stepping out of the car
"Ah, kids will be kids, Scarlett" Poppy said "I remember when you had that much energy back when you were her age.
A second child stepped out of the car, this one a blue troll with splatters of different other colors covering most of her skin and hair, the colors where actually birth marks but due to they way they where splattered against her skin and hair it actually looked like she had a little to much fun painting. This was Rosie's best friend Harper who after asking her own parents if she could join Rosie on her family vacation, was given permission as long as she didn't wander off and get lost.
"Hey Rosie wait up," Harper called out "Don't even think about going in there without me."
"Kids these days." A older blue troll said, whose hair was also mostly grey due to age, he also sported a grey goatee. "Can't wait up for their elders. When did they lose respect for the elderly."
"I think I remember you once getting in trouble for trying to walk across a old unstable bridge when we were kids Branch." Poppy replied
"Yeah and my grandma gave me the biggest whipping I ever got with a tree limb and I never did it again." Branch replied. Poppy just giggled as she walked to join the two kids and Scarlett.
"Ooh do you think we will get to see the phantom if we get inside." Rosie said
"Rosie, you know the phantom was just a myth, the opera house got shut down because of a fire." Harper replied
"Yeah but who do you think started the fire?"
"Rosie, Harper is right," Scarlett replied "The phantom was just a myth, and besides even if he was real that was over fifty years ago, I'm sure the phantom would be long dead by now."
"Actually daughter the phantom was indeed real." Poppy replied joining the trio. "I met him with my own eyes."
"You met the phantom?" Rosie squealed with excitement.
"Mom are you serious?" Scarlett asked "You never mentioned anything about him when I was a kid."
"Ooh, how was he," Rosie asked "Was he dangerous, was it true that he had death traps set throughout the castle and had a magic lasso? Did he kill anybody? Did he try to kill you and you escape?"
"Rosie, don't ask those type of questions to your grandma!" Scarlett scolded
"No he didn't try to kill me," Poppy laughed "In fact he was actually pretty obsessed with me."
"Obsessed?" Harper asked "Like what type of obsessed, like romantically?"
"Poppy dear do you think it is a wise idea to be telling the kids this story?" Branch asked
"Oh come on grandpa Branch," Rosie said, hugging Branch's leg and giving Branch the wide eyes "Let grandma Poppy tell the story "PLEEAASEE!"
"They'll be fine." Poppy giggled giving in to her granddaughter. Why don't you go set up a picnic for our lunch."
"Okay," Branch gave in walking back to the car to set up for lunch "If they get nightmares don't say I didn't warn you."
"So how was the phantom grandma?" Rosie asked
"Well, I would be lying if I said he wasn't scary at times. But in all honesty he was more lonely then scary, and all he wanted was for someone to show him compassion. See the Phantom lived in the opera house alone, hiding from the rest of the world out of fear."
"Fear?" Harper asked "What was the phantom afraid of."
"Well, due to his disfigured face he was shunned by the rest of the world despite his many talents. That caused him to grow fearful and hateful of the rest of the world. All he ever wanted was for someone to take pity on him and show him love."
"And you were able to do that Grandma?" Rosie asked "How?"
"Well in order to tell you that, I will have to take you to the beginning of our story...
And the award for most epic and original opening chapter in the history of epic and original chapters goes to, Jpbake for Poppy and the Phantom. I really hope that the opening credit scene worked. I was wanting to out in the opening number from the play and thought that would be a creative way to do it. Next chapter will get to the actual play but since the majority of the story takes place in flashbacks I wanted to keep the present time scenes separate from the flashback scenes, also next chapter will be longer i promise.
Lastly thank you to Black Raider for allowing me to use her character Rosie for this story and for approving the changes I made to fit my vision. Rosie is a original character created by Black Raider for her Story Flames of happiness. I just borrowed her and made her younger for my story.
Till next chapter. Have a happy Thanksgiving and I'll see you later.
