Summary: It's the whole phantom of the opera shi-bang, but Christine is a insanely ditzy ditz, Raoul is a foppy fop and Meg and Erik get together. What would have happened if Meg and gone through the hallway instead of her mother catching her?
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Phantom of the Opera, although I own all the new personalities of the characters. I am creating the part of Christine, while my friend Mally (phantom-willow217) shall be doing the part of Meg. I claim the idea as my own, although the plot is half Mally's.
Italics are thoughts. However, if only one word is italisized, its just exaggerated.
"We present Raoul de Changy, our new patron." Andre announced as Raoul came strutting down the walkway to an enourmous applause.
"Oh Meg! It's Raoul, the hottest boy in Paris!" Christine fell against Meg, who quickly dropped her and rolled her eyes.
"Get real Christine, it's not like he's going to remember you, it's been over ten years!"
"Yes, but I can dream can I? We'll get married, I'll wear a white flowing gown with diamonds in my hair and white horses to pull our carriage. We'll settle down in Paris, where I can continue my career as a famous oprea star, have six children and die toghether in our sleep where I will then be reunited with my father." Christine rambled.
"Oh, you are totally taking this too far, there is no way you would ever have children, it would do nothing for your body." Meg said rationally, rolling her eyes.
"Really? You mean, I would be FAT?" Christine answered, horrified. Why, if she was fat, she wouldn't be able to sing.
"Yes, you would grow so fat you would have to diet for years. Mother did, it took her five years to work off all that weight." Meg answered, enjoying teasing the ditz beside her.
"Girls! Now that our interruption is gone, we can get back to work. The chains dance please." Madame Giry said, while the girls retrieved their chains to put them on.
Meg leaped over the chains connecting Christine to Tianna, the girl on the other end of the chain. She stood up and bent backwards into a bridge, waiting for Christine to jump over her so she could stand up. Hurry UP Christine, I'm not supposed to bend this way for long!
However, Christine chose not to follow the dance routine, and instead poke Meg's exposed stomach. With iron control, Meg didn't flinch, but when Christine did it again, she wobbled and almost fell. Meg turned her head to look at Christine's leg and was sorely tempted to bite it. However, she settled for glaring at the moment.
Christine, being Christine, decided that since Meg wasn't going to falter, she would have to poke her yet again. However, since Tianna and Amy were connected to Christine, and they had already jumped over, Christine was pulled over Meg, thus causing Meg and the two girls connected her to fall, and then Tianna and Amy to fall because they tried to go forward but couldn't. In the end, all six girls ended up on the floor, while Madame Giry held her head in dissapointment.
"Miss Daae!" Madame Giry nearly shouted, halting the music, "Why are you not dancing?"
"Well Madame Giry, I was going to leap over the chains like I'm supposed to, but I just had to poke Meg in the stomach! Like, how could I not?" Christine answered as if it was the most obvious thing in world.
Stage hands rushed forward to unlock the girls from the chains, and the four other girls removed themselves form on top of Meg and straightened their clothes. Meg was pulled up by a worried Tianna, who worried about everything. "I'll bet you couldn't." Meg muttered in response to Christine's ditzy answer.
"Oh Meg, you always exaggerate everything, one mistake isn't that bad!" Christine pouted, looking sweetly at the glaring Meg.
"Sure, one mistake I can handle. However, yesterday you tripped over your own feet while in the center, the day before you pulled Amy and Tianna into Lexi (the girl connected to Meg) and I. Last week you fell off the stage while all of the chorus girls had just been connected by chains and you pulled everyone off the fucking stage!"
"Meg, language dear." Madame Giry repriminded, although ackwnoloding that her daughter had a point. Turning to Christine she said, "Meg is right my dear, you must learn to control your...urges...Opening night is tonight, and you are the only one still making mistakes! Now, let us go over the dance for the final scene in Act 1."
Everyone rushed to their places, as Carlotta took center stage. She began to sing, and the rest of the people on stage tried not to wince. Thankfully, once Carlotta began to sing, the faithful tapestries came into play as one dropped on her head, effectivley knocking her unconsious. After Andre had thrown a bucket of water on her head, she woke up and stormed off, protesting that she would sue for damage to her head.
"Now what shall we do? The opening performance is tonight and our star has left us! We shall have to refund a full house! A full house Firmin! A full houes!" Andre exclaimed, throwing up his hands in defeat.
"Miss Daae could sing it sir, and if she does not please you, my own daughter, Meg could do it." Madame Giry said, lifting her leg up onto a bar to streach, "Let them sing for you, and you can have your pick."
"A chorus girl cannot match up to the talents of a star, Madame Giry." Andre protested, glaring at the girls in question.
"At least let them try, they might surprise you." she answered, beckoning to Christine and Meg.
A/N
Tia: Well, I think for an idea that's good. I have a poll though, should I follow cannon and have Christine be the new diva or should I have Meg be the star this time around? I guess if Meg did it then it would cancel out the summary. Hmm...I'll think about it...maybe I'll just go with Christine. Anyway, I think that almost a thousand words is good for the first chapter, seeing as how Mally and I thought of the story during gym class.
We will also have a poll every chapter, and since this is the first chapter, you get 2! The second poll is if you like Christine's new and improved ditzy attitude. Why our why not. Now, on to Mally who will contribute her own comments.
Also, a round of applause and a batch of cookies to PericulosusBella, Bella for short, for beta-reading. YAY BELLA!
Mally: So, we are now done with out first chapter of our second story together! Meg and Erik are such a good pair. sigh Well, especiallyif she has my charming personality.
