Act 4 Scene 3
Tea walked with Yami onto the stage and crept quietly into the dressing room looking nervous.
Yami: Have you seen her since last evening?
Tea: no… sad to say I haven't… I was…being… entertained…
She giggled Yami smirked and put his arms around her.
Yami: Come, Megurite… I have something to show you…
They both jump as they hear a clatter. Shadi is on the top banister grinning, and has shut the door loudly. The two smile at each other nervously.
Yami: shall we continue our search?
Tea: hmm? Oh yes… Christine?… Christine!
Yami: Mademoiselle Daae!
Tea points to the mirror. Yami nods.
Yami: Perhaps I shall search in the gardens again.
Tea grins.
Tea: very well… I will see you soon.
He kisses her hand
Yami (wink/smirk): Very soon
Up above, Shadi rolls his eyes. His 'daughter' is old enough to know better.
Voice: Perhaps not as soon as you should like monsieur… should Madame Giry find out… things do not bode well for your future…
Yami gulps, and leaves quickly. Anule and Auma giggled. They'd have to remember to thank Shadi after the production.
Megurite (Tea) is freaked out by now. She doesn't know who that voice belongs to. It could be Uncle Erik… but she doesn't realize that her dear, sweet Uncle Nadir, who has been in love with her mother since they met, is 'guarding' her. Shaking off her fears, she goes inside the mirror. Instead of real rats, they had decided on the robotic toy hamsters. As one of them hit her leg, Tea shrieked. The audience laughed. Ishizu found Tea and frowned, grabbing her arm and taking her back stage.
The lights dim, and the ballet rats (cheerleading squad, and some members of the girls softball team), including Rebecca, appear on the beds. Meg crept in just as Joseph Bouquet was telling the girls the story of the infamous Opera Ghost.
Duke: Like yellow parchment is his skin...
A great black hole served as the nose that… never grew...
You must be always on your guard,
or he will catch you with his magical lasso!
He loops the rope around Rebecca's middle and grabs her in his arms. She's frightened and tries desperately to get away. Duke reminds her of an older Mokuba.
In the audience, Mokuba grins. Yugi on the other hand, Marik notices, is fuming. Marik chuckled lightly. Duke would feel more than Ishizu's slap come intermission. Not only him, but Seto would have quite a pile up against him. Marik shuddered, and felt sorry for Serenity. Shyly wrapping an arm around Victoria, who accepted his embrace, she snuggled into him, without her parents notice… both grinned with glee.
Ishizu comes just in time, gently grabbing Rebecca away from Duke.
She turned to all the girls and began to sing. This is not what they had practiced.
Ishizu: Those who speak of what they know
Find, too late, that prudent silence is wise.
Antoinette grins at what is coming.
Ishizu: Joseph Bouquet, hold your tongue
Her smack on his cheek rings loud. Every male in the auditorium shuddered, except for Shadi. He grinned.
Smirking, Ishizu made to flirtatiously run the rope along Duke's cheek, but quick as a flash, she flung it around his neck before he had time to react. Erik whistled and looked at his pocket watch. 5.3 seconds flat. Antoinette looked at Erik and smirked.
Ishizu pulling the rope as if to choke him: Keep your hand at the level of your eyes
The girls gasped, and the lights dimmed. The audience applauded.
