No, I __don't__ own any of the Moulin Rouge characters except for Michael, though if I owned Christian that would be cool. But that's off the subject. *cough*

"Who was she?" I heard a familiar voice behind me. I jumped and turned around.

"Oh, hello Satine," I breathed a sigh of relief and quickly hid the photograph away.

"No, she was very beautiful. Who is she?" Satine asked trying to paw the photograph out of me.

"She was no one," I lied, "no one at all." Satine looked at me hard.

"Michael, you don't have to lie to me. I know she meant a great deal to you, you were looking at her with love," she said. She took my hands, "Is she dead?" I laughed.

"No, or at least I don't think. She was my girlfriend, I think."

"You think," she laughed.

"Well, I haven't seen her in, well, a few weeks. And I left before I asked her if we truly were a couple,"

"Ah, so you do love her!" she poked me in the nose.

"Yes," I laughed. "Yes I do." And I wished she was here to have heard it.

Dr. Morrison worriedly looked at the test tube she was holding. She slowly picked it up, and let one drop slowly drip into another test tube. Slowly…..slowly…..BOOM! The second the one drop hit the other mizture the whole thing exploded in her face! I laughed and grabbed a towel to help.

"Are you okay?" I asked wiping the stain off her white doctor's uniform.

"Today's not my day," her beautiful British accent filled the room.

"It's okay, we'll get it one day," I reassured her. She sighed.

"Some days I wonder if my help on this project is really worth it," she said.

"Oh, but it is! You are the hardest and most productive worker on this team!" I told her. She still didn't believe me. So I started singing.

"I heard you say

That no one seems to care

About you…"

She looked away, but I touched her cheek and looked at her.

"It's in your eyes

You think that life's unfair to you

Just give it all you got, my friend

Just give it all you got, it's not the end

Cause you ought to know

There's a reason for these changing seasons

God only knows how much your heart can bear

So don't you let go

Everybody has their up and down times

Everybody needs to know how much they're loved, my friend

So hold on it's not the end."

I finished the chorus. She smiled at me and gave me a big hug.

"Thanks Michael. I really needed that," she said. I smiled back and we went back to work.

"Michael? Are you okay?" Satine asked waving her hand in front of my face.

"Huh, oh! Oh yeah," I said as I blushed.

"You started staring into space and sort of left us there," Christian said, who had suddenly appeared. I laughed.

"I was just thinking." I said winking at Satine. She winked back and we all shared a group giggle.
