A/N: Sorry I haven't updated in awhile. I really haven't been in the mode to write. Then I listened Michael Ball's rendition of this song and it just came to me. So, here you go! This is one most of you have been asking for.

Act 8: The Sexiness Which is Gerard Buttler:

Abigale rushed to the door. The banging was hard to ignore. She was surprised to find Bella before her. "Bells?" she questioned. "What are you doing here? Aren't you suppose to be on a date with Riley?"

"Just hide me. Okay." she pleaded.

Abigale just couldn't leave her friend out there, she pulled her in. "What's going on?"

Bella was about to answer but Ben came in. "Oh hello," he greeted.

"Hi," she returned. "Sorry to disturb you guys, but-"

Then they heard it.

"I have brought you to the seat of sweet music's throne ...
to this kingdom where all must pay homage to music ...
music...

You have come here, for one purpose, and one alone ...
I first heard you sing,
I have needed you with me, to serve me, to sing, for my music ...
my music..."

"Well, this would explain why you're here." Ben tried so very hard not to laugh but he failed miserably. In the end he wished he hadn't. Abigale didn't think this was funny. She hit him.

"Riley is a great guy Abi, I just wish you had warned about the whole singing thing." said Bella.

"Sorry, I didn't want to scare you off." Abi apologized.

"We figured he would have done that all on his own." teased Ben.

Abi hit him again. "Be nice."

"Ow," Ben said.

The music went on.

"...Night-time sharpens, heightens each sensation ...
Darkness stirs and wakes imagination ...
Silently the senses abandon thier defences ...
Slowly, gently night unfurls its splendour ...
Grasp it, sense it - tremulous and tender ...
Turn your face away from the garish light of day,
turn your thoughts away from cold, unfeeling light -
and listen to the music of the night ..."

Ben made a good few inchs away from Abi to where he was next to the window. Then something out side caught his eye. He'd recognized the familiar figure anywhere. "Riley?" he asked.

This caused Abi and Bella to walk over to peer out. It was Abi's turn to laugh. Bella just blushed from embarassment. Riley had taking it upon himself to really dress the part. He was dressed in a black tux with a white mask covering half of his face.

"It wouldn't have been all bad if he hadn't gone overboard." Bella said. "I mean I came home and here was this guy in my house, dressed like that... I don't know I thought he was a burglar or something." Bella explained.

Ben laughed again. This was really one for the record books. Abi really couldn't hit him. At this point she was laughing just as hard as her husband was. "Hey, I thought you were suppose to be on my side." said Bella.

"I am, I just can't help it." Abi managed between laughs.

"How long do we plan to leave him out there?" asked Ben.

Riley continued:

"...Close your eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams!
Purge your thoughts of the life you knew before!
Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar!
And you'll live as you've never lived before ...

Softly, deftly, music shall surround you ...
Feel it, hear it, closing in around you ...
Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind,
in this darkness which you know you cannot fight -
the darkness of the music of the night..."

Abi turned to her friend. "Aw, come on," she urged her. "It's not that bad."

Bella started to agree with her. Riley did have a good singing voice. "I guess..."

"Besides, this is Riley we're talking about, he's full of qurks then just this one." Ben made known.

"You mean, there's more?" questioned Bella nervously.

"Ben." Abi said.

"Yeah sweetheart?" he asked her.

"Shut up."

Ben went quiet and gave her a salute. "Aye yi Captin!"

"...Let your mind start a journey through a strange, new world!
Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before!
Let your soul
Take you where you long to be!
Only then can you belong to me...

Floating, falling, sweet intoxication!
Touch me, trust me, savour each sensation!
Let the dream begin,
let your darker side give in to the power of
the music that I write - the power of the music of the night..."

Bella started blushing again. This time it wasn't from embarassament. This time it was from something different. She was so going to kill Riley when they got back to his place. Why did have sing a song that was a major turn on?

"You alone can make my song take flight -
help me make the music of the night."

"Lets get him in before he catchs a cold." Abi suggested.

So, the trio went out to bring Riley in.

"What did you think?" Riley asked Bella. "Surprised uh?"

"You have no idea." Bella answered with a small laugh.

"Aww, c'mon!" Riley said, pulling off the mask. "I thought you would like it. You said you loved Phantom."

"I did. I do." corrected Bella. "It's just well, you kind of scared me. You could warn a girl next time you decide to go all Phantomy on her."

"And ruin the surprise?" Riley questioned.

"Lets recap, the Phantom was a killer." Bella reminded her.

"True, but an oh so sexy one." Abi noted.

"Totally!" agreed Bella. "Gerard Buttler defines sexy."

Ben and Riley exchanged looks. Then they cleared their throats. "What about us?" Ben asked with puppy dog eyes.

"Aww, how cute. They're jealous." teased Abi pulling Ben for a hug.

"We're not jealous." Riley tried to play it cool but couldn't live up to it.

"You guys are cute." Bella said, following Abi's action and pulling Riley in for a hug as well.

"But we're not sexy like what's his name." mummbled Riley.

"Gerad Buttler." Abi and Bella corrected him.

The guys were left in the dust as the girls went about to discuss the sexyness which was Gerard Buttler.

TBC...

Song: Music of the Night, From: Phantom of the Opera

A/N: Yeah, so I have a little obession with Phantom of the Opera and Gerard Buttler. Keep in mind I've heard Michael Crawford but I just prefer Gerard and it's not because he's easy on the eyes. I also saw Phantom live a couple of years ago. The guy was good but there's just something about Gerry that really does it for me man. I'm sorry but picturing Justin in a Phantom get up is interesting. He could probably pull it off though because he's cool like that.
