Chapter 7 - Jodidamente Estúpido

AN: Look up the translation into English we dare you.

As Beth woke up the conversation of the night before came into her mind which made her put her head into her pillow moaning and wishing that she didn't have to wake up from this nightmare. Leo on the other woke up looking forward to seeing Nadir again and when she heard Beth moaning, she could not help but laugh loudly at her.

"Oh my God Leo can you not laugh at me please I yelled in his face." Leo proceed to laugh more at her misery. "Ahhh what have I done please dear lord help me I didn't mean to yell at him argh he gets on my nerves."

"Well you know what they say if you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything..." Leo said giggling. "Now don't be such a baby and get up so that we can have breakfast I am hungry."

"Noooo... I don't wanna you can't make me!" Beth yelled into her pillow.

"Get up I'm warning you hun." Leo replied sweetly.

"NO! Don't wanna" Beth replied miserably.

"I warned you..." Leo replied walking out of the room into the kitchen looking for a bucket. Finding one in one of the cupboards so picked it up filling it with water from the lake. "Don't mind me gentlemen I am just going to do something quickly." She explained waling with the bucket of water back in to the bedroom. "Here you go hun something to wake you up." She said while pouring the water all over Beth who yelled as soon as the cold water touched her.

"Leonna you wench how dare you...get back here so I can kill you."

"No, I am not that stupid Beth God." Leo yelled behind her running around the kitchen avoiding a wet Beth casing her.

"Morning Nadir anymore of the breakfast." Beth asked sitting down at the table. While Erik was hiding behind his newspaper wishing he was anywhere but here.

"Yes of course, Madame Leonna have a seat as well I will get you some too. Are you two sisters as you seem very close?" Nadir asked while getting the food out of the oven box. He placed two meals that consisted of croissant and some scrambled egg on toast.

"We are sisters from another mister" They said in unison as if they rehearsed it before, Nadir looks at them confused opened his mouth to no doubt ask what they meant before realising that asking could be considered rude or that their original answer meant that they didn't want to talk about their family. Beth on the other hand found that they said it together hilarious and started to roll on the floor laughing and crying hard. (AN like she is as we are writing the basic plot)

Leo saw that he was going to ask so she explained that they were close and saw each other as sisters but that they were not blood related which made Nadir nod as if he understood their bond. Nadir seeing that Beth was mouthing that he should take Leo for a walk held out his hand asking if she would accompany him up into the opera house. At first Leo was reluctant to leave Beth, she explained. "I want to have the chance to explain to The Phantom that I apologise for the tone I spoke yesterday" Leo raised an eyebrow with disbelief written across her face at Beth, "aannnnddd so I can tease him about Christine."

"Okay, but when you are done come upstairs and meet me in the main hall alright?"

"Of course, sweets I'll be up soon." Beth replied. Just as Beth walked towards Erik, she spotted Christine making her way out of the room and hid behind one of the many mirrors. Erik put the paper down and was about to ask her what she was playing at when Christine's voice floated through the lair. He walked towards her.

Christine
I remember there was mist...

Swirling mist upon a vast glassy lake
There were candles all around, and on the lake, there was a boat
And in the boat, there was a man

Who was that shape in the shadows?
Whose is the face in the mask?

Beth prayed she wouldn't take off his mask but low and behold she did all the while Beth started crying quietly holding her hand over her mouth. Erik yelled out in pain and agony.

Phantom
Damn you!
You little prying Pandora
You little demon
Is this what you wanted to see?
Curse you, you little lying Delilah!
You little viper
Now you cannot ever be free!
Damn you, curse you...

Stranger than you dreamt it
Can you even dare to look, or bear to think of me
This loathsome gargoyle
Who burns in hell, but secretly yearns for heaven
Secretly, secretly...
But Christine...

Fear can turn to love
You'll learn to see, to find the man behind the monster
This repulsive carcass
Who seems a beast but secretly dreams of beauty,
Secretly, secretly...
Oh, Christine...

Christine gave the mask back to him which he put on then soothed back his hair and all of a sudden, he was composed as if the mask helped him become himself. "Come, we must return those two fools who run my theatre will be missing you." (AN: this is a direct quote from the movie enjoy) Once Beth saw they left she came out of her hiding place wiping away the tears all the while thinking "He left me here, he forgot...oh my love you will never love me will you I am just fooling myself into believing we can change your ending. It will not happen...Let's go find Leo she can cheer me up." Beth pulled herself together making her way through the opera house meeting Leo who was alone after Nadir said he had business to attend to. They walked and met Meg Giry who explained they were just about to read the Phantom's note to the managers that Madame Giry had given them.

(In Erik's voice.)

Gentlemen,
I have now sent you several notes of the most amiable nature detailing how my theatre is to be run. You have not followed my instructions; I shall give you one last chance. Christine Daaé has returned to you and I am anxious her career should progress in the new production of Il Muto.You will therefore cast Carlotta as the pageboy and put Miss Daaé in the role of Countess. The role which Miss Daaé plays calls for charm and appeal. The role of the pageboy is silent, which makes my casting, in a word, ideal.

I shall watch the performance from my normal seat in box five, which will be kept empty for me. Should these commands be ignored a disaster beyond your imagination will occurI remain, gentlemen, your obedient servant.
O.G.

(AN: This is the letter from the movie version. Also we cannot be bothered to sort out the rest of the lyrics from Notes so there will be inserts but not the entire song)

Leo and Beth saw Carlotta go outside and be shunned and asked where Christine was and could not help but laugh quietly to themselves. The managers convince Carlotta to stay and perform the opera. Beth and Leo follow the managers whilst getting ready for the show.

(AN: This bit seems chaotic but for every line that we chose we had an insult for sooooo... here you are.)

André and Firmin sang "The world wants you" Leo replied saying "Please that's why they are waiting for Christine not you..."

André sang "Can you bow out when they're shouting your name?" Beth replied with "Of course they are shouting your name it's so they know which one to throw the fruit at."

Firmin sang "Think of how they will adore you" Leo heard that and said "Yeah adoring, they adore to throw things at you"

André and Firmin sang "...enchant us once again..." Beth said "Enchanting people with magic is the only way you people would ever want to see or hear her horrific voice."

Carlotta sang "...of undying support" Leo replied with "Zombies don't exist so it's not possible for there to be support and there are no deaf people who go to the opera to give support either."

Meg sang "Voice of hell or of heaven" Beth replied with "or of heaven no definitely of hell, though that's probably an insult to Satan."

Carlotta sang "Think how you'll shine in that final encore!" Beth wittily replied "Thank the lord there is an end to this horror."

André and Firmin sang "Who'd believe a diva happy to relieve a girl, who's gone and slept with the patron? Raoul and the soubrette, entwined in love's duet!" Leo turns to Beth smirking "They weren't discreet at all, even the managers noticed and they can be blind as bats."

Giry sang "This is a game you cannot hope to win!" Beth whispered "Game! If this was a game, I would definitely win with no competition at all. That or I would kill her."

"No killing no matter how tempting it is...in fact I will help plan" Leo whispered back to Beth.

André and Firmin sang "...the world is at your feet!" Leo replied "Yeah picking back up the money that was thrown at you once they heard you singing."

Carlotta sang "The stress that falls upon a famous prima donna! Terrible diseases, coughs and colds and sneezes! Still, the dryest throat will reach the highest note, in search of perfect opera!" Leo whispered "the 'perfect' opera with her in it?! In her dreams, if anything she will croak getting the highest note"

Phantom spoke "So, it is war between us! If these demands are not met, a disaster beyond your imagination... will occur!" Beth heard him say and replied with "Please, I have a very vivid imagination especially one of these kinds of things. I will probably guess whatever you think of doing."

All together they sang "once more" Leo held her hands over her ears saying "Please not again my ears couldn't bear it, they might start to bleed."

By the time the song had ended both of them were in hysterics laughing so hard holding onto one another as to not fall on the floor. They soon realised everyone had left and they made their way to the dressing rooms to get ready for the upcoming opera.
