~ * ~ Chapter 1: Meeting You ~ * ~
There he was walking through the door and into my home, the Moulin Rouge.
Christian, our little Shakespear, as Nini liked to call him. The talented writer of Spectacular Spectacular.
I fell in love with him the moment I first saw him. That one faitful night when I came out from backstage behind Zidler and started to Can-Can. I came across him on the dancefloor and began to dance with him for a few minutes before Toulouse tore him away from me. I had no idea I'd falled in love.
Once I got a break, I decided to look for him around the Moulin Rouge, but I couldn't find him anywhere. I decided to check the dancehall once more when I heard Toulouse' voice coming from atop the Elephant.
"Toulouse!" I called.
He turned and looked down at me and I could tell his face was all smiles. "Hewwo!" he called back. "How awe you today?"
"Great! Where's the young man you were with earlier? The one in the nice suit! He sounded British!"
"Chwistian? Um...he's busy at the moment! Why?"
"I was just wondering. Could you come down here for a moment?!"
"Suwe! Just howd on a moment!" he yelled as he made a mad dash for the Elephant's tail and slid down it. He quickly ran up to me. "Yes?"
"Could you tell me about Christian?" I asked politely. He smiled and I could tell he was amused.
"He's a witew fwom Wondon. He's going to be the new witew for Spectacuwar Spectacuwar!"
I nodded. "Thank you Toulouse."
"Anything fow-"
"Toulouse!" another voice called from a top the Elephant. "We have a problem!"
"Howd on! Sowwey but I must go." he apologized.
"It's alright. Thanks for your help."
He nodded and ran back over to the Elephant's tail. He reached for it but it seemed he wasn't quite tall enough to grab it. I ran over as fast I could in my heels and helped him up.
"Thank you."
"Anytime."
"What are you doing?!" I heard a new voice yell from behind me. I turned around and saw Nini storming twords me. "Where have you been?! Zidler wants us to-"
"I know Nini!" I replied. "I'm sorry! I needed to ask Toulouse about something!"
"Well hurry up!" she demanded grabbing my hand and running back twords the dancehall.
About a half hour later, we were done for the night and some of the Dogs and I were sitting around at the bar and having a few drinks.
"Did you hear about the Duke?" Pearly Queen asked when the noise from outside had died down a bit.
"Duke? Zidler got an investor?" Dominatrix asked exitedly.
"Yeah!" said Liberty. "I heard him talking to Satine about him earlier. She has to sleep with him and then we've got ourselves an Investor!"
"Really?!" I said.
"Yeah!" said Nini. "Good thing she was feeling better after she fainted otherwise we'd all be done!" she continued with another one of her cackles.
Suddenly Toulouse ran in and announced he was having a celebration party at his place. Christian had gotten the job and the Duke was going to invest. I was so tired from dancing all night but I decided to go in hopes of seeing Christian. But he wasn't there. I guessed he was trying to write.
Nine had told me she didn't want me to leave, but it looked like she was having so much fun with Chocolat she didn't need me. I was tired anyway, so I decided to go back to the Moulin Rouge. As I walked down the stairs and down the hal on the next floor I noticed a door that was open.
I peaked inside and there was Christian, sitting at his typewriter, staring out the window. I stood there silently watching him for what seemed like ages when suddenly he stood up and sang quietly,
"How wonderful life is now you're in the world."
Was he singing to me?
No he wasn't. He didn't even know I was there. Before I could move away from the door he came running out and crashed into me, knocking us both down onto the floor.
"Oh my!" he exclaimed hurring to stand up. He offered me his hand apologeticly and I took it and stood up. "I'm so sorry Miss-"
"Chinadoll." I finished for him. He nodded.
"Right. Excuse me Miss Chinadoll, but I really have to go." he said as he walked past me.
"Wait!"
"Yes?"
"Are you going back to the Moulin Rouge?" I asked confidently.
"Yes, why?"
"I am too. Would you mind if I walked with you?"
"I'm sorry but I'm in a hurry."
As he said that it hit me. Satine. He was going to see Satine. She wasn't at the party and he'd probably been with her up in the Elephant earlier. I sighed and replied, "Going to see Satine are you?"
I smiled as he stopped and turned around.
"Yes...how did you-"
I walked twords him and shook my head. "Just hurry along. You wouldn't want to miss her.
"Thank you." he said with a smile and started down the next flight of stairs.
"Hey China, what are you doing?" a voice called from behind me. I turned to see Arabia walking twords me.
"Hi Arabia. I was just going to go home." I replied.
"Mind if I come with you? My feet are absolutly killing me."
I laughed apologeticlly. "Sure."
As we walked back I explained to her about Christian. She shook her head and exclaimed, "China! You know you aren't suppossed to fall in love!"
"I know...but there's something about him-something special. It's like I can't help it."
Arabia sighed. "Nini won't be happy."
"Nini doesn't have to know." I replied with a wicked grin. Arabia laughed. "Promise you won't tell her?"
"Yes."
"Good."
As we walked past the Elephant I heard voices comind from on top of it. I stopped and looked up. "What is it?" Arabia asked.
"Nothing, you go ahead. I'm going to stay out here a while."
"Okay..." she said reluctantly and continued on inside. I stood there watching. Satine and Christian were on top of the Elephant, singing to eachother. I let out a deep sigh and continued walking. Someone like him could never fall for someone like me.
Or could he?
I watched him walk in twords Toulouse and begin talking.
"Girls, we'll need someone to stand in for Satine today." Zidler called.
"Is she sick again?" Nini asked.
"Yes I'm afraid so."
Christian sighed. "Alright," he said. "I know just who should stand in for her." he decided quickly.
He walked twords where Nini, Arabia, Mome and I were sitting. Nini stood up and tilted her head to the side. "That's my cue." she said with a wink.
But instead he walked past her and said, "Miss Chinadoll, could you stand in for Miss Satine today?"
Nini's mouth dropped open. Arabia's did too but she had a smile on her face. I looked at her with my eyes wide. I always wanted to be the star. Even if it was just for one day. I looked at Christian's outstreched hand and then to Nini, who was glaring at me. "What about Nini?" I asked him. "I think you should ask her."
Christian shook his head. "She has to do something else for me today."
"Alright then." I said, taking his outstreched hand and standing up. I walked past Nini, who had never looked more insulted before and twords the stage.
oh I bet no one saw that coming. Me using Chinadoll instead of Nini. Hey, I said she had no lines didnt I?! Besides, I wanted to write about her. Oh yeah, Pearly Queen, Dominatrix, and Libery aren't mine just so you know. They're some of the Diamond Dogs. If you've got the DVD go look at the Can Can Girls' costumes and it says all their names. *wink* hehe...I hope you like it! Flames will make me cry. Ta Ta!!
