Hi everyone! Well, all who have reviewed 'Runaway from the Psych Ward' wanted more. That, combined with the fact that there are few Jemma multichapter stories on here, I decided to make one. However, the idea for this came from the episode 'The Breakup' when Jax and Daniel were 'swordfighting' for the Romeo and Juliet play. Now, I read Romeo and Juliet back when I was a freshman (I'm going to be a senior this year) so I don't remember all the details about it, I only remember the main things that happened. Also, this is going to be set junior year, the school can't do Romeo and Juliet again, since they did it sophomore year. Which brings us to the play; The Phantom of the Opera! Here are the details:
-This is junior year
-Emma and Daniel got back together, as a thank you for saving the Magical Realm, the Council lets Emma be with Daniel
-Jax still likes Emma
-This is a Jemma story
-Desdemona is in a prison in the Magical Realm, Evil Emma is completely gone
-Lily still sometimes appears to Emma to check up on her; she's a permanent member of the witches council
-Daniel doesn't know that Jax is a wizard. In the final fight, I expect Jax to help, since he has powers. I know it says that he makes a sacrifice for Emma in the future episode 'About a Wizard', but I hope he doesn't have to give up his powers. Anyway, in this story he helps out in the final fight, but he erases Daniel's memory of him having powers.
-There will be a swordfight between Jax and Daniel
-The T3 didn't pull a prank at the school play
Any other questions, feel free to ask! I hope you like this! :)

Chapter 1
"Class, may I have your attention please?"
Jax Novoa looked up from his English worksheet, giving the teacher the proper respect, since she had something to say. Emma Alonso also looked up from her work, though with a smile. Jax couldn't help but smile too, after all, she always says that smiles are contagious. That, and the fact this was the only class where he had Emma all to himself.
He still couldn't believe she chose Daniel over him. After the kiss during the magical storm last year, he assumed they'd get together. Apparently, he was wrong.
He wondered if it could've been different if he came to Iridium High for his freshman year. Would he have been the one holding Emma's hand in the hallway every day? Would he be the one always giving her a kiss whenever they'd have to depart for class? Would he be the one taking her to The Seven and other places for dates? He wished he knew. Still, he wasn't going to completely give it up. He knew that Emma still had mixed feelings about Jax Novoa.
"It is time to announce the school play for this year!"
Some people began to whisper excitedly, while others started to snicker. Emma leaned forward a bit, curiousity eating at her while Jax simply leaned back and crossed his arms. He wasn't excited, but he couldn't laugh either; it wouldn't look good for Tybalt to laugh at the mention of the school play.
"This year's play will be a musical, one I'm sure you all have heard of...The Phantom of the Opera!"
Next to him, Emma gasped quietly in excitement. "I've got to tell Danny!" She whispered to herself, pulling out her phone to type the message. Jax rolled his eyes, he couldn't help being jealous.
Ms. Allen clapped her hands. "Tryouts will be after school today, I hope to see some of you there!"
The bell rang, signaling the end of class. As everyone walked to the door, Jax caught up to the young witch.
"You seemed excited about the play."
Emma smiled and blushed. "Yeah, I'm hoping that Daniel will sign up. He has an amazing voice!" She sounded breathless at the end.
"Who do you hope he gets if he signs up?" His tone hardened.
She looked up at him. "Raoul would be perfect for him, I think." A giggle escaped her lips. "Maybe I could be his Christine."
Jax smirked. "Have you seen Love Never Dies?"
She rose a quizzical eyebrow. "No, I haven't."
"It's the sequel to Phantom of the Opera, and in the end, the Phantom wins Christine." He winked and walked away, passing by Daniel.
Emma gazed after him, mouth slightly open in shock while her heart was beating doubletime. She didn't really understand why he said that, or why her heart was beating so fast. It didn't really help that he lowered his voice to a very attractive volume either.
"Emma? Emma!"
She blinked, finally seeing her boyfriend's hand in front of her face and hearing his voice. "Oh, hey Danny!"
"Are you okay? You seemed out of it there..."
"Yeah!" She replied quickly. "I'm fine!" She took a breath, calming down. "So, did you get my text?"
He nodded. "Yeah, but...I don't know. It was bad enough being Romeo last year..." He scratched the back of his neck.
"But you're an amazing singer! You have to try out! Please?" She begged, giving him puppy dog eyes.
Daniel sighed. "Alright," He suddenly grinned. "on one condition."
She tilted her head. "What kind of condition?"
"You try out for Christine."
Her eyes widened. "Danny! I can't...I mean..I-" She was only kidding around about being Christine when she was talking to Jax, of course she didn't mean it! Standing up on stage in front of tons of people was terrifying enough, but singing?! That made it 10 times worse! She sometimes sang to herself when scrapbooking or doing chores, but never in front of people!
"I can't." Emma finally said.
He smiled. "It's okay, you don't-" All of a sudden he straightened, his eyes were glued to the wall behind her.
"Daniel?" Emma asked. "Danny...you there?"
Just as quick he returned his gaze on her, though this time his expression was cold. "Try out for Christine, or I won't try out at all."
She sighed. She really didn't want to do this. But then again, it's not like it's a gaurantee that she'll make it in. It's not like she had the voice of an angel. She'll try out, get rejected, and then when Daniel tried out he'd get a part. Simple.
Emma released a breath. "Okay. I'll do it."
Behind the corner Jax smirked.
