Title: What is Love?
Author: Sake Teriyaki
Setting: Toulouse's apartment
Scene: [before the part when Christian, Satine, and Toulouse are in
Toulouse's apartment and they're reading the script]
Disclaimer: "Moulin Rouge!" and all of its characters belong to Baz Lurhman and the other people involved with the movie. although I wish I had some claim on Christian.
"Christian, how in the world did you come up with all of this in just a few hours?" Satine gushed, flipping through a few pages of the script. 'Spectacular, Spectacular!' was just in the beginning stages, but there was already an abundance of information to work with.
Christian blushed slightly, inching closer to Satine on the lumpy, threadbare furniture they shared, and answered, "Love is my inspiration. I believe in love above all things. It sounds corny, but it's true."
With his trademark lisp, Toulouse chimed in; "Chwistian is the voice of the chiwdren of the revowutioni!"
"I'm still not sure that I believe in love. I mean, how do we even know it exists?" Satine asked quietly, sighing and shaking her head.
"How can you not believe? What are you trying to say?" Christian asked, stunned.
[The beginning notes of a harp and full orchestra fill the air, and Satine begins to sing a slow and meaningful song]
Satine: What's it all about, Christian Is it just for the moment we live What's it all about when you sort it out, Christian Are we meant to take more than we give or are we meant to be kind And if only fools are kind, Christian, then I guess it is wise to be cruel And if life belongs only to the strong, Christian, What will you learn on an old golden rule As sure as I believe, there's a heaven above, Christian I know there's something much more Something even nonbelievers can believe in. Christian sighed and smiled at Satine, taking her hands in his and looking into her eyes. He answered Satine in song.
Christian: I believe in love, Satine Without true love we just exist, Satine Until you find the love you've missed you're nothing, Satine When you walk, let your heart lead the way And you'll find true love any day, Satine Satine.
The beautiful music of violins and harps faded away, leaving Christian and Satine, staring at each other with soft expressions. Satine's bright eyes twinkled as she smiled at Christian. She quietly whispered, "I think I'm beginning to understand."
Taking her into his arms, the lovers met in a passionate kiss. The world stopped spinning and they knew only each other. That was, until Toulouse's laughing voice interrupted the moment.
"Hey you two," he stated, "get back to the script!"
Author's Note: I adapted "Alfie (What's it all About, Austin?)" by Susanna Hoffs to fit in with Satine and Christian. It's a song from the 'Goldmember' soundtrack. If you think that there should be more added to this, let me know. My writer's block is finally gone, and if you want me to continue with this story, let me know!!! I love adding scenes to a movie!
