"Angel of Music…"
"Shut up!"
A red-head girl stuck her tongue out at her best friend, who was sitting on the couch, eating cheese, and staring longingly at Magical Mister Mistoffelees. Lilly switched off the TV.
"Mina! Focus!"
Mina folded her arms.
"YOU DARE SHUT OFF MISTO?"
Lilly nodded. "Yes, I do."
Mina laughed. "Really bad foreign accent, Lil."
Lilly frowned. "That was a Carlotta Dutichelli accent, FYI!"
She pulled out her Phantom of the Opera DVD and replaced the CATS DVD with it.
"Now, I need to practice." She glared at Mina. "If you don't mind."
The TV turned on and Lilly flipped the scene to All I Ask Of You. She stared admiringly at Raoul.
"One day Raoul. One day. Say you love me, every waking moment. Turn my head with talk of summertime."
"Um, Lilly?"
"Yeah?"
"I thought this was only that Raoul-guy and Christine?"
Lilly frowned. "It is. Why?"
"Cause I just heard that weird Carlotta lady."
Lilly shook her head. "I think you're overly tired."
Mina pouted. "Listen! I still here her!"
Lilly listened carefully. Sure enough, she heard Carlotta's ear-piercing voice very faintly. Once again, she shook her head.
"Maybe it was those gallon bottles of soda we drank earlier. Come on, let's go to sleep."
Mina nodded and slipped into her sleeping bag. Lilly gave one more loving glance to the man on the TV.
"One day Raoul," she whispered. "One day."
She fell asleep instantly, forgetting to take off her Phantom of the Opera style dress she'd been wearing all night.
