I do not own Phantom of the Opera or Kingdom Hearts sheesh!
Yuki inspired me to write my own one. I just got ideas and I want to right them down, so yea lol. Well here goes, oh and heres the guide of whose who:
Christine Daae: Kairi
Rhaoul de Changy: Sora
Erik (Phantom of the Opera): Riku
Madam Giry: Aerith
Meg Giry: Selphie
Carlotta: Yuffie
Andre: Donald
Firmen: Goofy
The setting is the time period in KH where Sora just went through the adventures of Hallow Bastion. Everyone is preparing for the final battle but decide to take a break and preform a play just to ease themselves for a moment. Concentrate on something else besides Ansem. Also the End of the World has been blocked off by Heartless so they can't go even if they wanted to. So they KH cast decide to take advantage of the moment to relax. Mainly this fan fic's setting is Traverse Town and Hallow Bastion. And this is NOT EXACTLY like the movie. Its very similar though. (Not word for word) Now lets start! Instead of Chapters I'm going by scenes. Oh and btw, Tidus, Selphie, and Wakka have made it to Traverse Town so their there too.
The Heartless of the Opera
Act 1 Scene 1: The Rehearsal
"Alright if I can get everyones attention!" cried out Aerith over the talking of the people before her. "Now, we all agreed to do this to give us releif in our current situation. Lets make this good and fun!" she said with a smile. Sora and company were all gathered up in the old Opera House of traverse Town located in the Second District.
"The play we'll be preforming is the Phantom of the Opera." she stated. "Ooooooo! How romantic!" jumped Selphie who was next to Kairi and Tidus. "You haven't changed a bit Selphie." joked Sora. She giggled. "I know."
"First things first. We must pick our roles." she said. "Lets start with Rhaoul de Changy. He's the new patron of the Opera House who falls in love with one of its dancers Christine Daae." she said. "I'll be him!" raised Sora's hand. He always wnated to be part of plays before. At school on Destiny Islands he would try out for the lead, but always loses against Riku.
"Alright." said Aerith with a smile and hands him a script. "I'll be Madam Giry. She's a superivisor of the Opera House who trains the dancers and the actors. She's also an escort during preformances." "Good thing Riku ain't here, or he'd get the part." mocked Tidus. "Yea, but he's not here now..." said Sora trying to sound energetic. I was worried of what happened to Riku at Hallow Bastion, but got it off his mind when he though about the play.
"Next is our Meg Giry! Meg Giry is also a dancer at the Opera who happens to be the daughter of Madam Giry." said Aerith. "I'll be her!" Selphie's hand shot up straight away. "Thats a surprise. I thought someone like you would try out for Christine." said kairi. "Are you kidding? I can't sing!" exclaimed Selphie and Aerith handed her a script.
"Andre and Firmen are the two new managers of the Opera. They bought it with Rhaoul as their patron and are commited to make it the best Opera ever." "We'll do it!" said Goofy with a wide grin. "We will? I don't want to act!" yelped Donald. "Come on it'll be fun! Yuk!" said Goofy as he got the two scripts from Aerith. "This is going to end badly.." said DOnald as he looked over the script.
"Anyone would like to be Carlotta?" asked Aerith. "She's the star singer of the Opera who is selfish and bossy. She is very stubborn and hates not being on top." Noone raised there hands. It seems that the only person who could play Carlotta was Maleficent, but she's finally dead.
"Ok then, well how about our Phantom of the Opera Erik? A boy who was born deformed and placed in a circus was rescued by Madam Giry as a kid. She took him to the Opera cellars were he grew up and learned many great things. He now declares himself as the Phantom of the Opera." "I'm so gonna be him!" said Tidus raising his hand. "Now I get to fight you Sora! I've been training so you better watch out!" "Its a play doofus!" said Sora. "And Rhaoul wins." said Sora corssingh is arms with a sly grin. "Awww no fair!" whined Tidus as Aerith handed him his script.
"And finally, we have Christine Daae. Christine is a little girl whose mother died when she was very young. She was raised by her dad and was friends with Rhaoul when she was a child. When Christine was still a child her father died, and was raised by Madam Giry. She and her daughter Meg became best friends, and they now live in the Opera. As Christine gets older she becomes a dancer for the Opera, trained by Madam Giry"
"I'm definatly going to take that role!" said Yuffie stepping up to the plat. She was standing next to Squall who roled his eyes as she went up to Aerith to receive her script. Aerith chuckled. "I'm sorry Yuffie, but Christine is a main singer, so we need you to sing for us."
Yuffie laughed. "No problem! I'm the greatest singer ever! Just liek I'm the greatest ninja ever!" Aerith chuckled again as she handed Yuffie Christine's script. She stood up on the stage and awaited for Cid, who was stationed at the piano to play Christine's first song 'Think of Me'.
"I can't beleive I'm the only one here that could play piano." grumbled Cid as he started playing the song. Yuffie cleared her throat and inhaled a bunch of air, exhaling it back out.
"Think of me,
think of me fondly,
when we've said goodbye.
Yuffie sang, almost screeching on high notes. She was an good singer, but not too good.
"Remember me once in a while -
please promise me you'll try."
Everyone winced when she sang the high note parts in the song. They had squirmishes, especially Sora. he didn't want to fall in love with Yuffie! He would rather have Kairi be Christine...It would be so much more worth while.
"When you find that, once again, you long to take your heart . . ."
As Yuffie ended the third verse as very large backdrop from the top falls down siletnly and hitting Yuffie in the back making her fall down. Half of her was in front and half on the back. Selphie screamed and Squall immeideatley went to lift the backdrop off of her. "W-What the heck!" yelled Yuffie mad that it interuppted her song. She stood up brushing herself off angrily as Aerith went to console her. Kairi looked up at the banisters thinking she saw a shadow pass by, but looked more and saw nothing.
"Yuffie are you alright?" she asked. "Yea, I'm fine..But i wanna know who wasn't at there post!" she grumbled. "This Opera house is very old. And noone is up there." said Aerith. "Maybe its beggining to fall apart." said Yuffie. "Well it won't after Squall and Cid fix it up." said Aerith cheerfully.
"We will?" asked Leon surprisingly. Cid looked at Leon and leon back at Cid. "Yes you will." said Aerith. as she helped Yuffie off the stage. "Anyways I don't want to be Christine naymore! I'll take Carlotta instead! I don't want to be killed for being the lead role." she grumbled as she grabebd her script and took her place next to Leon.
"Well now we need a Christine." said Selphie. "Why don't you do it?" she asked kairi. Kairi looked back in shock. "M-me?" "yea! You!" said Selphie with a smile. Aerith over heard this and also welcomed Kairi onto the stage. "I think thats a good idea. COme on Kairi you should give it a shot." said Aerith. "I agree, you sang pretty good back at home." said Sora with a grin. Kairi looked up and returned the smile with one of her own. "Ok, I'll do it!" she said. "Yay!" rejoyced Selphie.
Kairi took the script from Aerith and climbed up on the stage. Cid starting playing 'Think of me' on the piano and then Kairi started singing.
"Think of me think of me fondly,
when we've said goodbye.
Remember me once in a while -
please promise me you'll try."
Everyone was in complete awe, as Kairi sang the words. It was as if a mother was lullbying her baby, very sweet and gentle. Sora stared at Kairi like she was some angel, that came dwon from the heavens. Selphie eyes became stars at the site of kairi's excellence in singing. Tidus and Wakka grinned at Sora who finally got his wish, but Sora didn't return thier grins. He just focused on Kairi.
"When you find that, once again, you long to take your heart back and be free -
if you ever find a moment,
spare a thought for me..."
As Kairi sang, the room was silent, except fro the music gently floating from the piano. I in combination with the song, flowed thorugh everyone. Even Leon smiled as well as Donald and Goofy. They looked with their jaws dropped. They never heard Kairi like this! Aerith and Yuffie smiled at each other as they looked at Kairi.
The person who was completley entranced was Sora. He stared with wonder at the cherubic figure of Kairi singing. SAs kairi sang she looked straight up and not at the audience. But when she caught Sora staring in complete awe she looked at him while singing.
Their eyes locked and as she was about to end the third verse she gave him a little nod with a happy expression on her face. Sora snapped out of the trance and smiled back at Kairi, nodding as well...
