Chapter 2
Think of Me
Md. Bitters bring Gaz over to the men. "Gaz Daaé could sing it, sir."
"What, a chorus girl? Don't be silly." Red shakes his head and looks away.
"She's been taking lessons from a great teacher." She persists.
"Who?" Red inquires.
"I don't know his name, monsieur," Gaz said quietly.
"Let her sing for you monsieur. She has been well taught,"
"Alright, come on, don't be shy, and come on." Purple beckons her to center stage.
"Just, just...From the beginning of the aria, mademoiselle" Monsieur Reyer suggests.
"Purple, this is doing nothing for my nerves." Red says to his friend.
"She's very pretty." Purple comforts Red. The piano softly plays the first few notes
THINK OF ME
"Think
of me, think of me fondly, when we've said goodbye
remember me,"
Gaz sings softly. The rest of the cast started to come back on stage,
staring, wide-eyed. "Once in a while please promise me you'll try,"
Gaz looks over towards Md. Bitters and Tak, who was standing by he
mother. Madame Bitters gestures to downstage. Gaz looks back to the
front, then walks forward, singing louder. "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..."
Her
costume turns into a beautiful white gown and the chairs are filled
with people on their best clothes. Lard Nar looks at her from above,
with other stagehands. "We never said our love was evergreen or as
unchanging as the sea but if you can still remember stop and think of
me. Think of all the things we've shared and seen. Don't think about
the way things might have been..." Madame Bitters and Tak watch
offstage. Md. Bitters fixes Tak's purple hair. "Think of me,
think of me waking, silent and resigned. Imagine me, trying too hard
to put you from my mind" Md. Bitters turns away threw a small crowd
of cast members who were watching. "Recall those days. Look back
on all those times. Think of the things we'll never do.
There will
never be a day when I won't think of you..."
Two floors down, a masked figure was walking, and stops when he hears her sing.
The audience claps for her. "Can it be? Can it be Gazlene?" Dib wonders. "Bravo!" He shouts as he stands and walks away. "Long ago, it seems so long ago."
A
Md. Bitters watches as he leaves Box Five. "How young and innocent
we were.
She may not remember me, but I remember her..." He
makes his way to his carriage.
"Flowers
fade the fruits of summer fade. They have their season, so do we.
But please promise me that sometimes, you will think of" She
hold this note and changes her pitch then sings loudly, "me!"
The audience stands up, claps and throws flowers to her. Gaz smiles.
"Brava!" Red shouts from Purple and his box.
"Ma musica, splendida!" Purple adds while clapping for a bowing Gaz.
"Well done," M. Reyer mouths to her.
She looks over to her friend, Tak, who is smiling and clapping for her.
A member of the crowd runs to a car, sitting in front of the opera house. La Zita is sitting inside with Skooge. The lady shrugs and La Zita faints onto Skooge who is sitting next to her.
Author's notes:
Um…Hi. This is my first fic, so be nice. The prologue I never typed, so sorry about that. If something doesn't make sense please tell me. I know people have done this crossover before, but I haven't found a Fic, so this is it.
