Letty walked into their hotel laughing as Tanya and Maria told everybody about their conversations with Madonna and Justin Timberlake while Mia texted Jesse McCartney. Suddenly a big hulking bald man was standing in front of Letty, nostrils flaring and hands balled up into fists. He hugged her to him, then pulled back to yell at her.

"Where the hell have you been?" Dom yelled at her while he observed all of Letty to make sure she was ok. She pulled back from him.

"We were at the Standard Hotel getting drinks with Jesse McCartney, Justin Timberlake, and Madonna." Mia giggled out. Dom glared at her phone and snatched it away from her. "Hey!" Mia yelled as she jumped at Dom trying to get her phone back, but he just held it right out of her reach, like he used to do when they were kids. Letty just gave Dom a small punch in the stomach and the phone lowered just enough for Mia to grab her phone and hide behind Letty.

"Dom, you and Leon need to go home." Letty said as she looked at him with arms crossed and a look daring him to fight her about it. Dom shook his head and sighed.

"Letty I can't have you here without me being here, I would drive myself crazy with worry." Letty raised an eyebrow at him while Leon came up behind Dom.

"Leon you know I can take care of myself." Leon nodded.

"I'll go pack my bags." Dom turned around quickly and looked at Leon like he was crazy. Leon just shrugged.

"Dom man, they can take care of themselves and if we're ruining their trip I'm going home. The whole point of this is for them to enjoy themselves without us being around. We can't hold their hands throughout their lives." Leon smiled at the four girls and walked away, waving over his shoulder. "I'll see you girls when you get home." Letty smiled at the retreating figure of Leon and then turned her attention back to the flabbergasted Dom.

"What about you Dom? What's your decision?" Dom turned around slowly and looked Letty in the eyes for at least ten minutes, Letty didn't back down. Dom finally sighed and gave Letty a chaste kiss on the lips.

"I'll see you when you get home babe." He then kissed Mia on the cheek and gave Tanya and Maria a hug. He then walked to the elevator and pressed the button for the 10th floor he then looked back at the four and smiled and waved at them; that was the last time any of the four saw him for the rest of their trip.

The four walked into the Metropolitan Opera House, Letty automatically yawned. Tanya elbowed her in the ribcage.

"Letty your mother really wants to see this opera. She and your father both saw it here on their honeymoon." Letty smiled sheepishly as she saw looked at her grandmother.

"I know, sorry. Opera's just never really been my thing, you know?" Tanya and Mia both nodded.

"It's not really ours either but it's important to Mrs. Ortiz. Besides maybe we'll end up liking it." Mia said as she walked towards a huge display with a humongous outfit and hat outfitted in jewels. Letty smiled.

"What's the opera again?" Letty asked her grandmother. Tanya just smiled at her.

"The Tales of Hoffman, it was your mother and father's favorite opera." They walked into the stage area, Letty gasped. There was a humongous curtain and beautiful chandeliers everywhere. There were so many seats and so many people, it surprised her. She hadn't even seen this many people at any races. Everybody was dressed up as she took her seat she noticed a miniature T.V. in front of her. She pushed her grandmother.

"What's this for?" She asked pointing to the small television.

"That's to translate what they're saying." Letty frowned.

"Wait so this isn't even in English?" Tanya motioned for her to be quite while the lights dimmed and the chandeliers rose into the ceiling, the friggin' ceiling! And the opera began.

The second that Maria had walked into that familiar building, she felt herself about to cry, but she kept herself steady. She ran her hand over a bannister meant to keep people at bay.

"Baby I think we're supposed to go in." Maria whispered to a young Juan who had buried himself in the nook of Maria's neck and was kissing her there. He grunted.

"We're supposed to, doesn't mean we have to." Maria just giggled and pushed him away while she grabbed his hand and pulled away from the bannister and into the stage area.

Maria felt some tears falling down her cheeks. What she wouldn't give to go back in time and tell herself to treasure every moment she had with her beloved husband. She wiped away a tear as Mia, Letty, and Tanya walked into the stage area and she followed. She sat down in her seat and remembered.

She was watching the opera intently when she felt Juan push her leg, she looked over at him annoyed and confused at the same time. He motioned for her to follow him; she furrowed her eyebrows in confusion but nonetheless followed her crazy husband. They were in an area Maria knew they weren't supposed to be. She looked around and then back at Juan nervously.

"Juan where are we going?" Maria asked while she grabbed his arm and looked around nervously. He smiled at her.

"We're getting an inside look." Maria looked at him like he was crazy.

"Juan! We're not supposed to be back here!" Maria whisper-yelled. Juan chuckled.

"That's what makes it fun babe." He said while he gave her a quick kiss. They were walking when suddenly somebody adorned in a multitude of make-up came towards them, she was obviously one of the singers, Maria was guessing the doll from the first act.

"You folks shouldn't be back here." She said looking between the two with a smile on her face. Juan looked at her evenly.

"Yeah well we thought it would be fun to get a better look." The actress smiled at the two.

"Well I like you two. You have good auras of pure love surrounding you. I gave that kind of love up for my career." Juan raised an eyebrow. The singer just looked between the two for a little bit longer and then spoke again. "Just say you're here with Olympia. You can hang around for our party. It was nice meeting you two." She then winked at them and then walked away. The couple looked at each other with faces of shock they then started giggling and holding each other while they watched the rest of the opera backstage. Maria had never felt so free.

Once the opera was over all four woman had tears in their eyes. Mia, being the hopeless romantic she is, was crying for poor, poor Hoffman, Tanya was still crying for Antonia, Letty was crying for Nicklausse, she really loved that kid, and Maria was crying with the memories of her husband.

I'm going to have one more chapter with the four in New York. Tell me what you think about it, if you've never seen what the Met looks like look it up it's so beautiful I've gotten the amazing chance to see it in real life, it's really gorgeous. If you haven't read or seen the story of the Tales of Hoffman just look up a synopsis, it's a really, really cool opera. Anyway please leave me a review.
