Prologue
London, 1900.
Morning in London used to be quiet, morning in London used to be cold, morning in London used to be.. Anything but this.
On the streets, people were divided into groups, and they were all holding the same thing, a newspaper. They were talking rapidly. Obviously, about one same thing. They who weren't in a group were walking slowly through the alley, for they were also reading the same newspaper. Some of them went, "Ooh..," or, "aahh..," like they never read a newspaper before.
A girl came out from her house, and noticed the odd situation. She was just wondering what have happened when a man and a woman walked in front of her. She heard the man talked, "What a beautiful tale!"
The woman replied him, "No, it's not a tale, it's a fact. It really happened. Both of them are exist, and I believe they still are until now."
"But where are they now, what do they do now?" asked the man.
"We have to find that out by ourselves." said the woman.
The girl got confused, "Whom are they talking about?" thought she.
She decided to search for a clue, so she walked down the street. She watched the unordinary behaviour of the citizens. She saw people walked and shook their head. She saw the newspaperman run out of stock. "Ah, the newspaper!"
She ran to him and gave him some money. "You're lucky, Miss!" told he, "This is the last one!"
The girl opened the newspaper, pages to pages, impatiently, until she found what to her the right one. The newspaper had a bonus pages that morning. Before she opened it, she gasped as she read its title:
"Moulin Rouge: A Story About Love." Based On The Life Journal Of Christian M.
Disclaimer: I do not own Moulin Rouge and its characters. This fan fiction is only one of my appreciation to the best movie ever, Moulin Rouge!!
The story actually came to me when I read "Memoir of A Geisha" by Arthur Golden. There, Mr. Golden told that he has been friend to a geisha who guided him through his novel writing. So, I thought, geisha.. courtesan.. satine.. christian.. and here it is, my fan fiction. Please review, pls!!
The next chapters are the story inside the bonus pages of the newspaper. So, happy reading!!! J
