Chapter Two: Where am I?

I woke up with a small headache...I had no memory of what happened the night before...All I remembered was this voice calling out to me. He was saying I was his Angel of Music...I looked around at my surroundings...I wasn't in my room. Oh great...If I wasn't in my room, where was I? Just as I sat up and placed my feet on the cool wood floor, a young woman, who looked to be my age, came inside my room. She had a soft blonde hair color and it was pulled back into a half ponytail. She had on a costume of some sorts..

"Alexa! You sleepy head! Hurry up and get changed. Mama will be mad if we're late for rehearsal." She said at me looking at my wardrobe. My tank top and shorts were gone. I was now in a white nightgown...I nodded at the girl and stood up and got changed...I looked in the mirror...and I didn't look like myself. I was usually a heavy set person...but now I had a dancer's body...I was skinny and had strong legs...My hair was still its soft brunette color and was about shoulder length...What was happening to me?!

After I got changed, I followed the young woman around what looked like the Opera House...Wait a minute, had I actually been pulled through my television and gone back in time! As I arrived to what I assumed was the rehearsal area, I heard an older womans voice...
"Meg, Alexa...Your late." She said sternly but was still kind.

"Sorry Madame Giry, I overslept." I heard myself say. So the person that woke me up was Meg...How could I have been so stupid not to recognize her? I began warming up and stretching with Meg and all the other ballerina's.

Then I heard the ear piercing voice of Carlotta Gudichelli...Oh god, now I remembered why I hated her. She had the most EAR PIERCINGvoice ever in the entire opera house. She was singing for Mr. Andre and Firmin...The new opera house owners. This was familiar to me, seeing as I'd seen the movie dozens of times. Carlotta was HORRIBLE...Then, I swore I heard a whooshing sound from outside, but I forgot about it as it was the ballerina's turn to perform. I danced with grace and talent that I never knew I had. As I was dancing, I saw out of the corner of my eye, two gentleman walk inside.
One man, was tall and rather skinny, his light brown hair fell to his shoulders. He wore a nice suit and a decent jacket...that had to be Raoul, the Vicomte De Changy. The man next to him was a bit of a mystery to me...He was taller than Raoul...he wore a simple vest. It wasn't as fancy as Raoul's, but it was still nice looking. The man had chestnut brown hair and brown eyes. My god he was handsome, and I thought Raoul was handsome to some extent.

"Ladies and Gentleman" Monsieur said getting everyone's attention. "I have an announcement to make. As for some weeks, you all know there have been rumors about my retirement." He paused for a moment and Carlotta just stared at him all confused, and he continued with his announcement, "Well, I can now tell you that they were true."

There were gasps coming from chorus members and Carlotta grinned and looked at one of her maids and made a simple 'Told you so' look at her. I looked at Meg all confused, acting like I had no idea he was planning to retire. The main thing I kept asking myself was where was Christine. She should be here right next to Meg and myself. I turned my confusion to the elder gentleman that were now at Lefevre's side. There was a shorter man, who looked to be in his mid 60's. He kept waving at some of the cast members occasionally. The man on the right was tall and looked more professional.

"These are now the two gentleman who now own the Opera Popualaire. Monsieur Firmin and Monsieur Andre." Lefevere said once the chatter had toned down about his retirement announcement. The cast, including Meg and myself, clapped politely. Raoul stepped forward and spoke to the cast.

"My parents and I support all the arts, especially this wonderful opera house. My friend Mr. John Smith and I will be here this evening to share in your triumph of working so hard." Raoul finished with a smile. I couldn't help but notice Mr. Smith staring at me. It was kinda creeping me out. I was fangirling on the inside because he could be David Tennant, but I knew that to be impossible. David Tennant was back in Glasco, Scotland. If I remembered correctly he was visiting family.

Meg noticed him staring at me and leaned over and whispered in my ear. "Alexa, Mr. Smith is staring at you." I nodded letting her know I heard her. As Meg and I were talking, Mr. Smith and Raoul had left the Opera house and Carlotta began singing for the New Managers after being introduced to them. God, she sounded worse than before. Her song was interrupted by a backdrop falling to the floor and just about landed on her and she "dramatically" fell down and then, as soon as she was freed from the backdrop, I heard Buqet's voice come from the rafters.

"Sir, I apologize but I wasn't at my post! God's witness! If anyone was here, well then," I could just barely see the smirk on his face as he laughed, "It must be a ghost."

The cast began murmuring and Meg looked at me with a concerned look on her face. "Its the Phantom of The Opera." She whispered to me.

Carlotta, being her usual dramatic self, decided to leave the Opera House..and I was hoping for good, but I knew better. She'd be back.

"Well, Gentleman...Good luck" Lefevre said to Andre and Firmin. "If you need me I shall be in Australia." Some luck that'd be for them if they ever had a problem. Andre and Firmin then began arguing amongst themselves who would take the diva's spot.

"Surely there must be an understudy!" Andre said obviously stressed. A man, who I guessed was the conductor looked at them with a serious yet shocked look on his face.

"Understudy!? There is no understudy for Carlotta!" He said, stressed himself.

"A full house Andre." Firmin sighed looking at his partner. "We'll have to refund a full house!"

A voice behind me spoke up, it was Madame Giry's. "Miss Alexa can sing it sir." Andre rolled his eyes at her suggestion, Madame Giry ignored it and continued with her suggestion "She's been taking lessons from a great teacher."

Why should I do the role?! I thought she was crazy too. I had just gotten here! How could I sing that operatic aria. I was an alto in Choir! Andre gestured me to walk forward, my nerves shot up. Every eye in the Opera House was on me. I opened my mouth and began to sing the first song that came to my head. A song by Josh Groban that hadn't even been written yet. However, it was my favorite song by I began singing, my voice was a little shaky... I even changed the lyrics since the song was about a girl and I decided to sing about a male from a female point of view.

"A waltz when he walks in the room,
she pulls back the hair from his face
He turns to the window to sway in the moonlight
Even his shadow has grace"

Andre and Firmin gave me a reassuring smile and I felt my confidence go way up and my singing began stronger. Next thing I knew, it was the night of the opera and I was the diva. I was in a white ball gown, and my hair was pulled back with jeweled barrets. I continued singing beautifully.

"A waltz for the man out of reach
He lifts his hands up to the sky
He moves with the music
The song is his lover
The melody's making him cry
So he dances
In and out of the crowd like a glance
This romance is
From afar calling me silently
A waltz for the chance I should take
But how will I know where to start?
He's spinning between constellations and dreams
His rhythm is my beating heart
So he dances, in and out of the crowd like a glance
This romance is
From afar calling me silently"

Raoul and Mr. Smith were sitting in the seats closest to the stage and I saw Mr. Smith smiling at me and Raoul looked pleased as well, but Mr. Smith looked more intrigued as I continued with the song as tears began to fill my eyes. The song was so emotional for me and I didn't know why.

"I can't keep on watching forever
I give up this view just to tell him
When I close my eyes I can see
The spotlights are bright on you and me
We've got the floor
And you're in my arms
How could I ask for more?
So he dances
In and out of the crowd like a glance
This romance is
From afar calling me silently
I can't keep on watching forever
And I'm givin' up this view just to tell him"

I finished the song quietly and as my voiced faded into the silence, the audience gave me a standing ovation and I was praised. After receiving all my congratulations, Madame Giry escorted me to my new dressing room, there on the table was a red rose with a black ribbion...The Phantom's gift to me for a performance well done. I sat at my vanity and I was looking at the rose when I heard the door open and I turned to see who it was. It was Mr. Smith...Or so I thought. He walked up to me and offered his hand to me.

"Hi, I'm the Doctor by the way."


Hmmm. What could the Doctor be doing in Paris. Oh, in case you were wondering, its the 10th Doctor. He's my favorite! Stay tuned for Chapter 3!
