She is running. Running along with her childhood friend, Raoul.
Running past the cornfield where her father sets up picnics, running past the
pond where she and Raoul used to fish. Reaching the for the swing they made
from rope, feeling the summer air warming her skin. Christine Dae was a child
again. She fell from the swing, and took her friend's hand for assistance. She looked
up to thank Raoul for the help, but instead she saw a child in a mask.
Raoul: CHRISTINE! Wake up!
It was only a dream. A dream, about the best thing in the world to her.
Her childhood family and all things comforting. But why was Erik in her dream?
But it didn't matter to her now. When she left with Raoul, she thought things would
Snap back into place when they were children. As soon as they started traveling
To London, his ideas of marriage seem to decline. Raoul revealed to Christine
Not only he had a ten year old daughter, But was still married.
Every month she comes, visits the kid she dumped on Raoul, who
Dumps the brat on Christine. Mrs. Changey will always do the same, pay a little
attention to Lilly, make a remark about Christine, offer Raoul to runaway with her,
then leave. Christine knows today is the day Raoul will accept her offer and leave
her with his bratty daughter.
Raoul: Christine, you know today is important to me and Lilly, So if you can't
Get off your lazy butt and help the maids clean, you can make use of yourself
And keep an eye on Lilly while I go out to get wine.
Christine: Wine? Why?
Raoul: I just have a craving is all. [With those words he left.]
Christine: Did I treat Erik this way?
Lilly: Who's Erik?
Christine: You snuck up on me.
Lilly: My mother told me about Cinderella. Since, You stole my daddy from me, she
Said you're just the wicked stepmother.
Christine: You're know I'm not a wicked stepmother, I'm not even married to your
Father.
Lilly: You are so! Wicked person! [The child kicked Christine in the knee and
Ran off. Christine didn't bother to catch her. She could her Raoul's and the "Mrs."
Laughing across the hall.]
Christine: That's it. I'm can't take it anymore! [She ran out the door waving for
A carriage.] Where can I go? The opera, Meg will let me stay no matter how
Painful the memories the place holds.
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Erik is just finishing dinner with Meg Giry and her mother. Since
The incident he faked his death, they welcomed him with open arms and sorry hearts.
Talk of the opera ghost wasn't heard since then. He sometimes enjoys meals with
The Girys, when he's lonely. But things still aren't right. Sure things are better,
But something was still missing. A knock interrupts his thoughts.
Madam Giry: Who could that be at this time and horrible weather?
Meg: Why don't you open the door and see? Erik, go hide, we don't want to scare
Visitors away again.
Erik: [Yelling from anther room] Done did that. [he was hiding in a closet.
Madame Giry opens the door.]
Christine: Hi, I'm I disturbing something? [she's soaked from rain and is shivering]
Meg: CHRISTINE, WHA...[just then Erik comes out of his hiding place to steal
Meg's question and to see her for himself.]
Erik: Christine? What on Earth happened to you?
Christine: Erik, you're alive!
Meg: He found a way out of that mob.
Erik: It's true, I did the same thing you do in a bear attack. I played dead.
Madame Giry: [changing the subject] What brought you back? Meg, get a blanket.
Is Raoul with you? [silence] Did something happen between you two? [Christine
nods]
Christine: [trying not to notice mocking Erik's eyes on her] I just need a place to
Stay, just for a little while until I can find a job!
Meg: Christine you know you can stay at the opera house anytime you want, but
It's full. Mother and I have to share a room.
Erik: Well, not entirely full. I still have that spare room you used to sleep in.
But you probably don'..
Christine: Would you have me?
Erik: I don't mind [a couple hour later, after catching up with Meg they went
to the cellars.]
Christine: Erik? I'm sorry for what I put you through.
Erik: You're sorry? I'm the one who needs to pay for your therapy. Not
that you have or need it.
Christine: You treated me like a goddess and I repayed you terribly.
Erik: I was mad, true but it's in the past. If you don't mind me
Asking, Why'd you leave him?
Christine: Let's just say he failed to mention the little woman.
Erik: How? He's too girly to have two women. [Christine broke into
a fit of laughter. Erik sees this and decides to press on]
Erik: I mean being a fop is one thing but building mind control devices
To make innocent people love him, that's the only way I can figure how he
Did it.
Christine: Stop I may wet my corset!
Erik: Hmmm. Wetting and corseting rhyme. [Both calm down., thankfully ]
Erik: I know this may scare you, and it's too soon, but I still love you.
Christine: I think I really loved you all along. [They share a warm kiss]
Erik: Go to bed, you've had a long day.
Christine: Good idea. [as she was heading for her room he called out to her]
Erik: Sweet dreams. :) [Christine looked over at his coffin]
Christine: May yours be sweeter.
Erik: No you
Christine: you
Erik: you
Nadir: Both of you have sweet dreams. Sheesh!
Erik: What are you ding here? You're supposed to be on vacation.
Nadir hands him a bag: I was, got bored, but I did buy you a new mask.
If you're gonna hide your face, at least have a good mask.
Erik: Nadiiirre.
Christine: I think he has a wonderful mask. And a sweet face.
Nadire: OOOOkaaay, I'm gonna go now.
Christine: So, Where were we?
Erik: you
Christine: you.
