Help! How can I tell my mom to leave me alone without hurting her. She keeps telling me to record me singing then post it on youtube so I'll get famous but I don't wanna be a singer I used to but not anymore. I know I'm a good singer cause I get a lot of compliments but still. I wont make it in the singing career. I don't know how to write notes or play any instruments not to mention there are plenty of people better and prettier then me so can you help me find what to say to my mom.

Sorry if she's a little Mary sue but remember this is a crossover with the 2004 and 1989 version and since there's no Christine. Serena is in her spot so no flames please.

Disclaimer: I only own Serena.

When I heard sheri start her way down stairs sleepily I stood up with my bag and jar in hand. She came down and looked at me and my bags then gave me a confused look. "I'm going to the opera house to sing sheri. I saved up money for you. I think this is enough.

I handed her the jar and she suddenly broke into a smile and gave me a hug. When we broke apart I was confused. "It's 'bout time you go." I smiled and hugged her. "I'll miss you. I'll do my best to write while I'm there." "Good luck sis."

I waved to her as I started my way out. I walked all the way to the opera house I couldn't afford a cab at the moment. I arrived about half an hour later. I looked up at the big building in awe then I went inside. I went to the opera house owner, Mr. Barton and told him I wanted to sing here.

Once I sung for him. He broke into a smile and accepted me immediately. He had Madame Giry show me my room which was quite big because I shared it with the other girls. I was to be in a cot next to Madame Giry 's daughter Meg.

I met her later. She was very pleasant. I worked in choir at the opera house for about a month before we would start practicing for the new opera coming up 'Faust'. I was the understudy of our diva Carlotta. Today was our second day of practice and Carlotta decided to skip practice meaning I had to fill in for her.

As I was practicing her part a sand bag came crashing down. It knocked me in the head and I fell over. Everything went black. I woke up half an hour later with meg and some of the other cast members above me looking concerned. "Oh Serena thank heavens your alright." "Meg?" "Yes of course."

Then one of the stage hands, Joseph I think his name was, came down apologizing. "Please I wasn't at my post. Maybe it was the phantom." he said. Yes I learned about the phantom of the opera and how deadly he can be he sounded intriguing to me though.

Meg helped me up and I was sent back to my room while the rest of practice was continued without me. "Really meg I feel fine. I feel amazing really." "Who wouldn't? A newcomer playing the understudy of our diva. With the way Carlotta is skipping out on practice you might get the part."

I smiled hopefully. "Sleep for me ok?" meg asked. I sighed. "Fine." I gave in. She left and the room got a bit colder. "Your voice was excellent today Serena." I heard him whisper. I sighed and got up.

"I don't see the point of this though. Carlotta will always be the diva. What she wants she gets. I'll never be as good as her. No matter how much you teach me. Maybe I should just go home."

"No! Don't you even dare think that. Your voice is better than hers. People just need to see it. We've gotten this far. Don't you dare turn back now!"

A gust of wind pushed me into a chair harshly as he commanded this. I looked down. "Forgive me. I didn't mean to speak out of my place." I whispered. "It's alright. What matters is the music. Finish the song. For me." he whispered the last part.

"But you never show your face to me. Whenever you speak my heart pounds in my chest and I become light headed yet how will I know this isn't my imagination if you never show yourself?"

"I will. Soon now sing." he commanded. I turned around and saw his silhouette in the mirror above the fire place. My heart seemed to skip a beat.

So I began my part but he stopped me. "No. The lead Carlotta's part. That's the part you want isn't it. You're the only one who can sing that part as it was meant to be sung."

"Sing." he whispered. So I began singing her part. Partway through he commanded me to sing it from my heart with passion and desire. So I began again. When I finished he sigh happily.

"Your ready Serena. Tonight the world will here you sing." "Tonight?" "Tonight the world will love you. Just as I do." he whispered then he faded away leaving me to my thoughts.

'He loves me?' I thought. Meg came in and we left to get ready. It was opening night. I wondered what he meant by that the world will hear me sing. I was about to get into my costume when the director came in and told me Carlotta lost her voice and won't be singing tonight.

I get to play her part! I changed into the lead parts dress. "Thank you my angel." I whispered softly. I walked out onto the stage and began to work with the wheel for my part. The opera continued. And when it was over there was more applause then usual.

I sighed in bliss as I heard the applause. When I was back in my room I was smiling so big. I had many bouquets and letters from admirers. Then meg came in we celebrated with a glass of champagne after the dinner that was after the opera. I had gotten many compliments and had dinner with someone named Richard. He was very kind but I have to remember what my angel said. No love life.

We said goodnight to each other and went to sleep restless to see what the newspaper said about me. The next morning madame giry got me up separate from the other girls. She said there was someone wanting to see me. She had a look of light disgust on her face.

I got to the main room and saw Maggie there. One of the prostitutes I know from the pub. She had a nervous look on her face. I walked up to her hugging my old friend. "Maggie what's the matter?" "A customer I had last night acted weird." "What do you mean?" "Well he would never show me his face and he kept calling me your name instead of mine. He did things quiet passionately."

"Well after last night I wouldn't be surprised that would happen." "Oh yes I'm also here to congratulate you for you sis and I. She so busy with the pub." "That's great!" "Yes. Well I best be going. Be careful ok Serena." "I will." we hugged again before she walked off with a bit of a limp. I guess she was sore.

'Was that my angel? No he wouldn't do something like that.' I shook my head at the thought and went back to bed until noon. Then I continued my chores. Until meg had gotten the newspaper. I noticed she had it and we ran giggling to the room to read it.

But I what I read devastated me. They wanted Carlotta not me. I knew it. It was hopeless. I'm chasing false dreams.

R&R please tell me what you think. I'm doing my best not to make her a Mary sue.
