Here we go. I'll try to continue tomorrow. Here's what I have now. I'm trying my best to stay true to the original, but a bit is different so bear with me while this gets it's footing. Elephant Love Medley is copyright umm…. somebody that isn't me. I just changed a few lyrics to make it fit into the storyline. Yar. R&R peoples! *grin*

Satine slammed the door to her apartment, and ran to the bathroom and vomited. The complete stupidity of what she had done disgusted her. When she came to Boston she told herself that she would focus solely on her school and career. The last time she was involved, she was hurt and told herself never again. She couldn't let some guy she had just met at a dance some night that she was most likely drunk from the punch destroy her dreams of stardom.

She stood up to self a glass of water. She looked at herself in the mirror. Her hair was matted down but sticking up in back, going in every direction, from sleeping on it and then running down the street in the rain. Her mascara was smudged, and was down under her eyes, creating the illusion of black eyes. She looked like she had had a hard night. Unraveling her now crumpled dress she ran the bath water and slid into the nearly scalding bath water.

She let the steam from the water fill herself up. Chloe wasn't home so she was alone with her on thoughts. Her mind kept coming back to Christian. The way he shook her hand, and smiled at her so sincerely. The way he looked out for her when she fainted, when she wasn't even his responsibility. His music, his voice. Kissing him. She shook herself out of her thoughts. She couldn't let herself do this. She just couldn't.

"No, Satine," she told herself, "you do not fall in love."

She tipped her head back and closed her eyes. But all she could see was his face. Why couldn't she get him out of her mind?

*******************************

Christian walked back to his apartment. Why did she run off? He had followed her down the street calling for her but she wouldn't stop. His back ached from sleeping on the floor; he had let Satine use his bed.

He sat down at his laptop and tried to write, but he couldn't focus. He couldn't get Satine off of his mind. He grabbed his jacket and his favorite old floppy black hat and headed out the door.

He wasn't exactly sure where he was going, but he knew what building to look in. He got to her apartment building and began knocking on doors. On the fifth door he knocked on he asked if the girl knew of Satine, a new girl this year. She said that she heard about a new girl in room 108, so Christian thanked her and headed up to that room. He knocked on he purple door and sure enough the door reluctantly opened. Satine was wearing an oversized holey bleach stained t-shirt with mismatched socks. Her hair was wet and she had no makeup on. Christian thought she was beautiful. Carole King was playing in the background.

"Um, can we talk?"

"Yeah, sure, come on in. What's up?" Satine reached over and turned off the music.

"Well, you ran off so quickly, and well, after what happened, and, I just wanted to make sure I hadn't made you sad or something." He looked so worried that Satine couldn't help but want to hug him and kiss away his worry. She shook her head and put the thought out of her mind.

"No, it wasn't you. You see, I was upset with myself for letting my emotions take over. You see, when I came here, I promised myself that I wouldn't let anything get in my way of stardom."

"Silly of me, to think that you could fall in love with someone like me."

"Oh… I can't fall in love with anyone." And it was true. She wouldn't allow herself to.

"Can't fall in love? But a life without love that's terrible."

"No, being on the streets, that's terrible."

"No! Love is like oxygen. Love is a many splendor things. Love lifts us up to where we belong. All you need is love."

"Please, don't start that again."

"All you need is love" Christian broke into song.

Satine countered: "A girl has got to eat"

"All you need is love"

"She'll end up on the streets"

"All you need is love"

"Love is just a game"

"I was made for loving you baby, you were meant for loving me"

"If I were to start loving you baby I will pay a lovely fee"

"Just one night, just one night."

"There's no way we would both pay"

"In the name of love, one night in the name of love."

"You crazy fool, I won't give into you."

"Don't leave me this way, I can't survive without your sweet love, oh baby. Don't let me this way"

"You think that people would have had enough of silly love songs."

" I look around me and I see it isn't so, oh no."

"Some people want to fill the world with silly love songs."

"Well what's wrong with that? I'd like to know, cause here I go again!!! Love lifts us up where we belong. Where eagles fly, on a mountain high."

"Love makes us act like we are fools. Throw our lives away for one happy day."

"We can be heroes! Just for one day."

"You, you will be mean"

"No I won't "

"And I, I'll drink all the time"

"We should be lovers!"

"We can't do that"

"We should be lovers! And that's a fact."

"Know nothing would keep us together"

"We could steal time"

" Just for one day. We can be heroes, forever and ever. We can be heroes forever and ever. We can be heroes just because . . ".

"I… will always love you!!!"

"I . . . !"

"Can't help loving . . ."

"You . . ."

"How wonderful life is . . ."

"Now you're in the world . . ."

Christian pulled her in for a kiss and she consented. It is said that when having a true first kiss fireworks go of. The explosion going on in both of their minds and hearts was immeasurable.
