Hello govner! This is a Meg and Erik story set 4 years after the incident in the Opera Populaire.
Disclaimer: Do not own Phantom of the Opera. *sniff*
You are formally invited to the Halloween Ball
Place: Opera Populaire
Date: October 31, 1874
Time: 8:00 p.m.
*Must go dressed in a Halloween costume*
A 20 year old Meg Giry read the invitation she had received in the morning. It had been four years since she had gone to the Opera Poulaire (mainly because it had been destroyed in a fire). She had heard rumors that it was being reconstructed. She missed the place. She had grown up in that place with her mother and her best friend, Christine. It was because of Christine that the Opera got destroyed. She had gotten involved with the Phantom of the Opera.
"I wonder if he is going to go", thought a curios Meg, "Maybe he will go, it is his Opera after all."
"What should I go as? I know" The Ball was in an hour and she was looking in her closet for something to wear.
She picked out a strapless blue dress and found some angel wings she wore when she was a child.
"Something's missing" she said to herself as she looked at her reflection in the mirror. She then remembered the flute she used to play to her mother as a little girl.
She returned to her closet and found a small box in the corner. She put the box on her bed and opened it happily. Inside was a beautiful platinum flute. She put the flute to her lips and started playing a random melody. She got so focused in the music that she didn't notice the time. Quickly, she put on her ballerina shoes and headed out the door towards the Opera Populaire.
(A.N. in case you haven't figure it out, she is going dressed as the angel of music)
Few minutes later
Meg had arrived at the Ball to be greeted by none other than Christine and Raoul. Christine was dressed as a purple witch and Raoul as a werewolf.
"Meg, how have you been? I haven't seen you in a while" said Christine as she hugged her best friend.
"Four years to be exact. I've been good. How about you two? What have you guys been up to?"
"Well, after the whole Phantom incident, we got married and now we're going to have a baby" said a proud Raoul.
"Congratulations to you both" said Meg while hugging them both.
"We're going to keep greeting guest. Talk to you later?" asked Christine.
"Sure" said Meg as she watched the happy couple leave hand in hand.
After some time Meg got bored and decided to go to her favorite place in the Opera. She found the stairs she had taken so much while she was a ballerina. She ended up in the roof, the place where Christine and Raoul had confessed to each other. Meg's thought were filled with the Phantom. There wasn't a day when he wouldn't cross her mind. She remembered a song she once wrote to him but never showed him. She started singing:
You're on the organ
with your girlfriend
she's upset
she's going off about
something that you said
she doesn't get your humor
like i do
i'm in my room
it's a typical tuesday night
i'm listening to the kind of music
she doesn't like
she'll never know your story
like i do
but she wears dresses
i wear shirts and pants
she's head soprano
and i'm a ballerina
dreaming about the day
when you wake up and find
that what you're looking for
has been here the whole time
if you could see
that i'm the one
who understands you
been here all along
so why can't you
see you belong with me
you belong with me.
walking the Opera
with you and your white mask
I can't help thinking
this is how it ought to be
laughing on the stage
thinking to myself
hey, isn't this easy?
and you've got a smile
that could light up this whole place
i haven't seen it in awhile
since she brought you down
you say you're fine
i know you better than that
hey whatchu doing
with a girl like that
she wears high heels
i wear slippers
she's head soprano
I'm a ballerina
dreaming about the day
when you wake up and find
that what you're looking for
has been here the whole time
if you could see
that I'm the one
who understands you
been here all along
so why can't you
see you belong with me
standing by and
waiting at the mirror
all this time
how could you not know
baby
you belong with me
you belong with me.
oh, I remember
you coming to my room
in the middle of the night
I'm the one who makes you laugh
when you know you're about to cry
and I know your favorite songs
and you tell me about your dreams
think I know where you belong
think I know it's with me
can't you see
that I'm the one
who understands
been here all along
so why can't you see?
you belong with me.
have you ever thought
just maybe
you belong with me?
Erik's P.O.V.
I was up in the roof of my Opera House when I heard someone coming up the stairs. I quickly hid behind a statue to look at who was coming. I was surprised to see little Meg Giry, only this time she wasn't so little anymore. Her golden hair was longer, she looked taller and her face seemed a little more mature but it still had a look of innocence to it. I continue to look at her and notice that she is dressed as an angel of music. She looked amazing. She then started to sign. Her voice sounded like if it belongs to an angel. I concentrated on the lyrics of the song and was surprised. Was it about me and Christine being together and she wanting to be with me? It can't be, she could never love a monster like me… or could she?
"You have an amazing voice" I said while I hid behind the statue.
"T-Thanks" she asked a little scared by the mysterious voice.
"Don't be alarmed. I'm just an angel of music like you" I saw her smile.
"Good to see you came, Phantom" I starred at her in shock. How could she have known?
"Good to see you too, Meg. How did you know it was me?" I asked as I came out of my hiding spot.
"Actually, I just guessed." She said while laughing.
"So, who's the song about?" I asked, my curiosity getting the best of me. I saw her blush and smile.
"I'll tell you if you tell me your real name" My name? Why would she want to know my name?
"Erik".
"Well, Erik, the song you heard was about you being with Christine and how I always thought that you belonged to me" she said blushing. I was to shock to say anything. She actually loves me?
When I came back to my senses, I saw that she was leaving.
"Wait!" I screamed as I ran after her.
I saw her turn around while tears were falling down her face. When I reached her I hugged her. It felt good having her in my arms.
Meg's P.O.V
I couldn't believe it. The Phantom of the Opera was hugging me. I hugged him back happily. He then pulled away and said the three words I was dreaming he would tell me:
"I love you"
"What?" I asked shocked and happy at the same time.
"I'm sorry it took me so long to figure it out. I never truly loved Christine. I hope you can forgive me"
"Of course I forgive you!" I told him while hugging him.
"I love you, Meg"
"I love you, Erik"
Then he closed the space between us. It was my first kiss and I was happy I shared it with him.
No one's P.O.V
The two lovers hadn't notice someone lurking in the shadows.
"It's about time!" said a happy Madame Giry as she watched her only daughter with her soulmate.
WOW! I think this is my longest story (for the moment)I hope you like it and please review its means a lot to me! Btw the song is "You belong with me" by Taylor Swift but the changes were made by me.
