"Once upon a time, there was a girl who loved music. While she was only a chorus girl spending her days dancing with the others, the girl would spend every night with a mysterious tutor who would teach her and train her voice. Over time, the girl forgot about her tutor and became the lead soprano within the opera house, but what she didn't expect, is that the tutor would one day fall in love with her."
The lair of the Raven was dark with only the light of white feathers illuminating around the darkness, giving Princess Kraehe enough light to see her father. She carried with her a bowl of water and wore a frown upon her red lips. She knew that her father was going to be cross with her upon her failure once again to capture a heart for him, so she had hoped bringing him some water would lighten his temper, even a little.
"Father? I brought you some water father." The crow princess said before one of the Raven's black talons knocked it away as he let out an angry hell, sending Kraehe backwards with a scared look. As she had feared, he was at his peak of anger, growing to his boiling point with each failure.
"A heart! Have you brought me a heart daughter?!" The Raven yelled at his so-called daughter. He had grown weary of her failures and every time she had approached him after her and her beloved Prince had lost the heart he was so close to gaining, he felt himself grow more impatient and furious, struggling to hold himself back from taking Kraehe's heart.
"Well, no father but-"
"But nothing Kraehe! You have failed me one too many times and this is your last chance! Bring me a heart, or else I shall take yours instead!" The Raven exclaimed as Kraehe rushed away from her father in terror.

Within the ballet studio of Goldcrowne Academy, Ahiru walked into the classroom with a heavy sigh, and she looked at her friends Pique and Lillie, who were beginning a few warm up stretches as other students approached the bar, awaiting Neko-sensei to walk into the class. Moments had passed after warm up before the door had opened again, but instead of Neko-sensei walking in the room first, a tall girl with short red hair and hazel eyes walked into the room with a white dress on, reminiscent to Giselle's dress when Ahiru, no, when Princess Tutu had encountered her. Following this girl, Mytho, Fakir, Rue, and finally Neko-sensei entered behind her and stared at the beginner's class with a smile.
"Everyone, this is Miss Christine Webber, a former student of the Ballet Division. She graduated last year and has come here with a special announcement."
"Thank you very much Neko-sensei", Christine began, "in two weeks time, the school's Drama Division shall be putting on their rendition of the famous story of the Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux. Since this is the first rendition that they have done of this story, they have asked myself and Neko-sensei to aid in the production and have asked it to be a ballet. While this opportunity is rare, we would like some of the beginner class to aid us in the production as secondary characters and so I wish you all good luck in auditions." Christine said before stepping back to a chair.
TM42: And so it begins, the story I've been meaning to write.
Drosselmeyer: Indeed, a story that shall keep readers coming...or so I hope.
TM42: Shut it Gramps! Hope you guys enjoy.
