Fly Away

Time to let go

'Kep!' Satine called. The dog trotted over to her and walked beside her.

'You've certainly got him well trained.' Livvie commented as they walked over the field.

'Well, I have nothing else to do have I? I'm stuck inside all the time.'

'You should get out more.'

'I would but Christian doesn't want me to get ill.'

'Shows he cares.' Livvie said.

'True.' Satine stopped and gazed across the horizon. 'There's the house.'

'Ah yes. It looks so tiny from here.' Livvie turned to Satine. 'You know, the fair's in town tonight. Me and Oliver will take you and Christian out but don't tell him till we come, otherwise he will object.'

'Alright.'

Christian shut the door with a bang. Kep skidded into the hall and started growling.

'Leave!' Satine called as she walked into the hall. Obediently, Kep stopped growling and lay down.

'I see you've trained him a bit better.'

'He now thinks that anyone is an enemy to me. I'll have to explain the concept of friends.' Satine laughed. Christian gently kissed her.

'How was your day?'

'Alright. Went for a walk with Kep and Livvie. You?'

'The publisher has agreed to publish my book for half price.' Christian worked for a publishing company.

'That is good.' Satine said. She tried to think of something else to say. The doorbell rang.

'Wonder who that is at this time.' Christian went to open the door. Satine hid a smile. She knew who it was.

'You two ready?' Oliver asked as Christian opened the door.

'Ready?'

'We are taking you out. Come on.'

'But Satine...'

'Is going.' Satine grabbed her coat. 'Come on.' She said, grabbing his hand and yanking him out of the door.

The fair was situated in the middle of Central Park. You could hear see the lights from a mile away and hear the noise from half a mile away. Satine's eyes shone as they got closer and closer. She hadn't been to a fair before. She was so excited that she grabbed Christian's hand and pulled him in the direction of the rides. Laughing, Oliver and Livvie followed.

'Can we go on this first. Please?' Satine begged. They were standing beside the ferris wheel.

'Do you think someone is just a little excited?' Livvie asked the others, jokingly.

'I think so.' Oliver answered.

'Maybe she shouldn't go on any rides, in case she gets too excited.' Christian smiled. Satine put her hands on her hips and stamped her foot.

'Hey, look, Satine. The dance machine is free.' Livvie took Satine's hand and led her over to a man. Beside him was a strange looking machine. On the floor were two rigid boxes and in front was a screen with a handle to the side.

'How does this work?' Christian asked examining the contraption.

'You pick a song, wind the wheel and it comes up on the screen which of the four squares you have to step on.' Livvie said, indicating the four squares on the boxes. There was one at the front, one at the back and one on either side.

Satine and Livvie paid the man and stepped onto the boxes.

'Which will it be, ladies?'

'That one, please.' Satine said, indicating a song, smiling. The introduction began.

'Dance all night, dance all night, dance all night.' They sang softly. Livvie turned to look at Satine, a smile playing on her lips.

'I believe you were expecting me.' She said.

'Dance all night, dance all night, dance all night.' They sang together again

'And it's called the Moulin Rouge.' Satine sang out.

'Let's dance.' Livvie said in a sexy voice. The music started up properly and they began to jump on the squares as they appeared on the screen in front of them.

Satine: Feel the beat of the rhythm of the night.

Livvie: Feel the rhythm

Satine: Forget about the worries on your mind

Livvie: On your mind

Satine: Feel the beat of the rhythm of the night.

Livvie: Feel the rhythm

Satine: Forget about the worries on your mind

Satine: When it feels like

The world is on your shoulders

And all of the madness has got you going crazy

Livvie: It's time to get out

Step out onto the street

Where all of the action

Is right there at your feet

Satine: Well...I know a place where we can

Dance the whole night away

And it's called the Moulin Rouge, oh

Just come with me

And we can shakes your blues right away

You'll be doing fine once the music starts...oh!

Livvie: To the beat of the rhythm of the night

Satine: Dance until the morning light

Livvie: Forget about the worries on your mind

Satine: We can leave them all behind

Livvie: To the beat of the rhythm of the night

Satine: Ooohh the rhythm of the night

Livvie: Forget about the worries on your mind

Satine: We can leave them all behind

Together: Oh lalalalala, oh lala

Livvie: Look at the street now

The party's just beginning

The music's playing

A celebration's starting

Satine: Under street lights

The scene is being set

A night for romance,

A night you won't forget, so

Come join the fun

This ain't no time to be staying home

The Moulin Rouge is going on...oh!

Tonight is going to be a night like you've never known

We're gonna have fun the whole night long...oh!

Livvie: To the beat of the rhythm of the night

Satine: Dance until the morning light

Livvie: Forget about the worries on your mind

Satine: We can leave them all behind

Livvie: To the beat of the rhythm of the night

Satine: Ooohh the rhythm of the night

Livvie: Forget about the worries on your mind

Satine: We can leave them all behind

Together: Oh lalalalala, oh lala

Livvie: Cuando sientes que el mundo

esta enicma de ti

y la vida te tiene como loca

conozco un lugar

donde podemos bailar

Satine: And it's called the Moulin Rouge!

Satine: Feel the beat of the rhythm of the night.

Livvie: Feel the rhythm

Satine: Forget about the worries on your mind

Livvie: On your mind

Satine: Feel the beat of the rhythm of the night.

Livvie: Feel the rhythm

Satine: Feel the beat of the rhythm of the night.

Livvie: Feel the rhythm

Satine: Forget about the worries on your mind

Livvie: On your mind

Satine: Feel the beat of the rhythm of the night.

Livvie: Feel the rhythm

Satine: Forget about the worries on your mind

The music stopped and Satine and Livvie stood still, trying to get their breath back. Then they turned to each other

'Oh rhythm wanna feel the rhythm.' They sang together. Applause rang out. Satine grinned at Livvie.

'I see we still have it.'

'We will always have it.'

'Our turn to choose now.' Christian sai, taking Satine by the shoulders and steered her towards the dodgems. There were only two cars left. Christian and Satine hurried to one and Oliver and Livvie got in the other. The ride started up and the two couples began bashing into each other, shrieking loudly. Satine was shrieking along with them but then she looked up. Through all the crowds of people she made out a figure. Even from that distance she could make out who it is.

Without glancing back, she jumped out of the car and began dodging between the dodgems.

'Satine!' Christian called but it was no use, Satine kept on running. Christian stopped and jumped out, running after her.

She kept on running, trying to catch up with the figure. Christian followed her, dodging between people and rides. She reached the edge of the lake and skidded to a stop. The figure had disappeared.

'Why did you leave me?' She called into the darkness. 'Why?' She said, sobbing. She fell to the ground. 'You were all I had. I needed you then and I still need you now.'

'Satine?' Christian said, kneeling beside her. 'I think your mother is saying it's time.' Satine looked at him. She nodded.

I follow the night

Can't stand the light

When will I begin

To live again?

One day I'll fly away

Leave all this to yesterday

What more could your love do for me?

When will love be through with me?

Why live life from dream to dream

And dread the day when dreaming ends?

One day I'll fly away

Leave all this to yesterday

Why live life from dream to dream

And dread the day when dreaming ends?

One day I'll fly away

Fly, fly

Away

Christian: Never knew I could feel like this

Like I've never seen the sky before

Want to vanish inside your kiss

Everyday I love you more and more

Listen to my heart can you hear it sing?

Telling me to give you everything.

Seasons may change winter to spring

But I love you

Until the end of time

Come what may

Come what may

I will love you

Until my dying day

Satine: Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place

Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace

Together: Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste

Satine: It all revolves around you

Together: And there's no mountain too high

No river too wide

Sing out this song

And I'll be there by your side

Storm clouds may gather

And stars may collide

Christian: But I love you

Satine: I love you

Christian: Until the end

Satine: (Until the end)

Together: Of time

Together: Come what may

Come what may

I will love you

Until my dying day

Oh, come what may

Come what may

Christian: I will love you

Satine: I will love you

Satine: Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place.

Together: Come what may

Come what may

I will love you

Until my dying day.

Satine: How wonderful life is now you're in the world.
