Title: Uncertainty
Author: Sparkling Diamond Satine
Warning: Cheesy story that I decided to write during my school's production of 'Singin' in the Rain.' (And ooh it was raining during the performance…and they were singing…haha) There will probably be some inside jokes…only because I love our inside jokes to the play…they're so great!
If you want to know the summary, it's in chapter 1.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything that doesn't belong to me…'cuz you know that wouldn't make sense and I like to make sense most of the time. The songs in this one are "Would You" from 'Singin' in the Rain' and "Elephant Love Medley." Because my beloved Chris most likely hasn't seen Moulin Rouge (and I'm not about to ask him…) I'm changing it to fit his sense of humor :D enjoy! Instead of "One Day I'll Fly Away", I'm using "Would You" because it fits in the story better.
Chapter 1 also has some important notes. Read those before reading this!

Chapter 4~Gazing At The Stars/Elephant Love Medley
Everyone else was celebrating because we know had a show to perform. I, on the other hand, could only think about him. I know Chris…I mean Christian…had sang that song mostly to stop my annoying moaning…but still he could have meant those words! Oh, if only it were true!
I raced up to the top of the elephant to inhale the sweet fresh air before I ended up coughing again. I took in another deep breath and let it out, this time singing.
"He holds her in his arms,
Would you, would you?
He tells her of her charms,
Would you, would you?
They met as you and I
And they were only friends.
But before the story ends…
He'll kiss her with a sigh,
Would you, would you?
And if the girl were I,
Would you, would you?
And would you dare to say
Let's do the same as they?
I would, would you?
And would you dare to say
Let's do the same as they?
I would…would you?"
I smiled and looked up at the stars for a moment before hearing a noise behind me. I knew instantly who it would be, but I needed to be sure. After the change in the play, there may be some movie changes as well. Especially since Christian's…well not himself!
"What are you doing here?" I asked, hoping to hear the answer I needed. I panicked just then. I found myself unable to play Satine's part anymore. I couldn't pretend to not love him anymore…but I had to try, to save the movie!
"I saw you…and your lights were on…and well I wanted to thank you…for helping me get the job," Christian said, smiling. "I just have one question. You're name isn't Satine…right?"
"Well…I…uh…" I panicked again. What would I say to him? I had to lie; I had to do something! "Of course my name is Satine! And about the job…it was nothing…but we have a very big day ahead of us…and--" I was soon interrupted by him.
"I just wanted to know something…before I leave," Christian said, glumly. I knew he wanted me to be his someone special…but I couldn't let him be! I wanted to change the movie by not letting him love me…but I was failing miserably.
"Yes…what is it you want?" I asked, starting to get very nervous, because I pretty much knew what he would ask.
"Before…when you said you loved me…was it…" Christian stopped.
"Just an act?" I finished for him. "Of course it was."
"But…it just seemed so real," Christian said. His voice was losing that British accent…it sounded like the Chris I knew which made it just that much harder to pretend.
"Christian…CHRIS…I'm a courtesan…I make men believe what they want to believe," I said, not realizing what I was doing…and saying.
~*~
The stress on my name…not Christian's…was convincing, but it still could be a nickname for Christian. I had to do something before I could be sure what was happening…and usually in this time singing is not something I do…
"Silly of me…to think you could fall in love with someone like me," I said, laughing nervously.
"I can't fall in love with anyone…" Satine said, looking to the ground.
"But…a life without love…that's terrible!" I said, meaning all of it.
"No…living on the streets, now THAT'S terrible!" she said.
"Love is like oxygen…love is a many splendored thing, love lifts us up where we belong, all you need is love!" I said. Where was this coming from??
"Please…don't start with that again!" Satine pleaded.
"All you need is love!" I sang.
"A girl has got to eat!" she responded.
"All you need is love!"
"She'll end up on the streets!"
"All you need is love…love…"
"Love is just a…a…" she couldn't seem to finish the sentence without hesitation. "Game…"
Chris: "Beautiful girl, let me call a preacher!"
Chrissy: "Let me remind you, I am just a creature!"
Chris: "Life was a song, then you came along!"
Chrissy: "But you're so wrong, I don't belong!"
Chris: "You don't realize how much I need you, love you all the time and never leave you."
Chrissy: "What happens when we're older, will you become that much colder?"
Chris: "Love, love me do! You know I'll love you!"
Chrissy: "Please, please don't! You know that I won't!"
Chris: "Let me whisper in your ear, say the words you long to hear, I'm in love with you."
Satine turned away from me and started walking towards the edge of the Elephant.
Chrissy: "You think that people would have had enough of silly love songs."
Chris: "I look around and I see, it isn't so."
Chrissy: "Some people want to fill the world with silly love songs…"
Chris: "Well what's wrong with that…I'd like to know. 'Cuz here I go again! Love lifts us up where we belong, where eagles fly on a mountain high!"
Chrissy: "Love makes us act like we are fools. Throw our lives away for one happy day."
Chris: "We could be heroes…just for one night…"
Chrissy: "You…you will be mean."
Chris: "No I won't!"
Chrissy: "And I…I'll drink all the time!"
Chris: "And is that such a bad thing? I mean…I wanna hold your hand!"
Chrissy: "You can't do that…"
Chris: "I wanna hold your hand! Please just let me do that!"
Chrissy: "But that Duke…he'll find out this soon!"
Both: "We could steal time…just for one day! We could be heroes forever and ever! We could be heroes forever and ever! We could be heroes…"
Chris: "Just because I will always love you."
Chrissy: "And I can't help loving…Out of a dream…safe in my heart."
"Hey…I have another question…if you really are Satine than how'd you know all those songs?" I asked.
"Oh…heh…yeah…um…" she stammered, nervously.
"Yes…?" I asked, with a smart look on my face.
"I'm…I guess I should tell you…Chris…" she said, grinning mischievously. "Yeah, I know that you're really Malito."
My jaw dropped; she actually figured out who I was! "Caryn? Chrissy? Tell me who you really are!"
She smirked. "Chrissy Falkner…pleased to meet your acquaintance!"
"You're a wonderful actress, Ms. Falkner! I mean…Satine…but I do believe we haven't finished our song," I said, grinning.
"You're right…we haven't…"
"Safe in my…heart!" I said, and took her into my arms, and kissed her. It was definitely interesting…but what the most interesting part about the kiss was that it actually felt like I was kissing Chrissy and not just the Parisian courtesan I was looking at!
"You're going to be bad for the business…I can tell, she said before we heard voices nearby and were forced to separate for the night.
~*~
End: Chapter 4
All right, as for the songs that I used and didn't mention in the disclaimer or used in Elephant Love Medley.
"Beautiful Girl", "You Were Meant For Me", and "You Stepped Out Of A Dream" from Singin' in the Rain
"I Need You", "Love Me Do", "Do You Want To Hear A Secret?", "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" from The Beatles
It was really easy to use similar songs in this…so that's my reason for rewriting Elephant Love Medley like that! :D ENJOY!
