Notes: The songs used in the medley are mostly old songs, though I'm not certain they're all from the fifties. The songs used are propert of The Door, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Aerosmith and random lyrics taken from the movie 'Grease'.
More Notes: Sorry this update took forever, it took me ages to find all these lyrics.
More MORE Notes: (sorry) Dedicated to my story junkie; Gedia. *sets out M&Ms for Gedia's muse*. And the idea of the Brooklyn Bridge Love Medley belongs to Duchess.

"Are you following me?" Satine asked, turning away from him.
Chris grinned slightly. "And what if I am?"
"You can't follow me every where I go," she replied and tried to leave.
Chris stepped in front of her, a hurt frown marring his handsome face. "I'm sorry," he said. "I just had to ask you something."
Satine sighed. "What?"
"Earlier, when you said that you loved me . . . did you mean it?"
Satine stared at her feet, the toes of her shoes suddenly turning inward. She was nervous, she hated to admit it, but Chris made her nervous. She had grown up with wars going on all around her, but the sweet eyes of this young man made her heart beat faster and a flush creep up her cheeks.
"I said what I had to," she told him finally. "I thought you were the Duke and Harold wants me to pretend I love him."
Chris nodded. "I see. I should have known better. A woman like you could never fall in love with a man like me. I'm not useful enough for the streets, am I? I can't sell drugs, or open a junk house. I can't shoot a man in cold blood, so I'm not good enough."
Satine shook her head. "It's not that Chris. I can't fall in love with anyone."
Chris frowned. "You can't fall in love with anyone? Why?"
"What does it matter anyone?" Satine asked. "Love isn't important."
Chris' eyes widened and he stared at Satine incredulously. "Love is . . . how can you think love isn't important? Love just happens." He broke into a wide smile as Satine just rolled her eyes and walked further onto the bridge.
Chris followed her, suddenly singing, "I looked at you, you looked me. I smiled at you, you smiled at me." He grabbed her arm and turned her toward him. "And we're on our way. No we can't turn back, babe. Yeah, we're on our way."
Satine sighed and whispered, "And we can't turn back, 'cause it's too late. Too late, too late. Is that your excuse?" She laughed and stared out over the dark water. "It's too late?"
Chris frowned, following her. He leaned against the side of the bridge, staring at Satine's profile and sang softly, "Unhappy girl, left all alone playing solitaire."
"Too late," she sang back.
"Playing warden to your soul, you are locked in a prison of your own device," Chris sang, reaching for her hand. "And you can't believe what it would do to me to see you crying."
Satine shook her head and walked away. "Once more, tears on my pillow, pain in my heart caused by you. Always caused by you," she sang, then caught Chris' eye. "That's why I don't fall in love."
Chris' face fell and he lifted himself up to sit on the edge of the bridge, wrapping his legs around Satine's waist and pulling her in close.
"Listen to me," he whispered, touching her hair. "Golden rose, the colour of the dream I had not too long ago. A misty blue," he sang, staring deeply into her eyes. "A wish never to grow old."
Satine sighed and turned away from his beautiful words. "There goes another boyfriend" She shrugged. "There's another diamond ring, and all those late night promises I guess they don't mean a thing."
Chris leapt onto the edge of the bridge, standing precariously on the edge.
Satine shrieked as he teetered dangerously on the edge. His mouth opened and he sang powerfully to the sky, "I have never laid eyes on you, not before this timeless day. But you woke and smiled my name and you stole my heart away."
Satine gasped and reached for Chris, anticipating the plunge he would take into the cold waters below. "Chris!" she cried. "Chris, get down!"
"I never laid eyes on you, not before this timeless day," he sang, leaping down and wrapping his arms around her neck.
Satine giggled, then tried to wipe the smile off her face. "Blue moon," she whispered. "You saw me standing alone. Without a prayer in my heart, without a love of my own."
Chris leaned toward her. "There's a light," he sang softly.
"A certain kinda light," Satine sang back. "Never ever, never shone on me before."
Chris smiled, his hands running through her hair gently.
"Honey," Satine sang, "I want my whole life to be lived with you, babe. That's what I want oh, was to be living and loving you."
"Really?"Chris asked.
Satine, still looking slightly shocked. "Yes, really."
"But, you said earlier-"
"You've convinced me," she said, putting her finger to his lips and cutting him off. "Now shut up and kiss me."
Chris grinned, then leaned down and captured Satine's mouth with his own.
