Disclaimer: isn't this getting old yet? I don't own a thing except the
snogglepuss that ate Natalie's socks. (see ittybittytreefrog's fanfic to
understand that. It's Harry Pothead but it's still cool.)
I looked at Natalie in astonishment. "E.excuse me?" She smiled. "You and Christian will write the play together." Christian and I looked at each other uncomfortably. He then looked over at Natalie, then back at me. "Do you write well?" I shrugged. "I guess so. I mean, I write a lot but I'm not sure how good it is." Christian grinned. "Well, you can write the basic storyline and I'll edit it for you, ok?" I smiled at the chance I had. "Sure!"
Later in Christian's garret. I was writing the play with a pencil while Christian sat at the typewriter. Mumbling under my breath, I complained about the time period. "This would be so much easier with a computer." Christian heard me mumble, so he turned around. "Did you say something?" I got a guilty look on my face. "Just trying out one of the lines." Christian nodded. "Oh, alright." Natalie, who was there just because she wouldn't leave me alone, grinned and walked over to Christian. She looked over his shoulder at what he was typing and he tried to cover it up. "That's not a play." I looked over at the annoying disturbance that was Natalie. She grinned wider and pulled the paper out of the typewriter. "It's a love poem. OOOO. Who's it to Christian?" I walked over behind her and pulled the paper out of her hand. "Natalie! SHUT UP!!! I am trying to work on a play that I am only writing because of you so would you please be so kind as to NOT TALK ALL THE TIME!!!" Natalie took the paper back and stuck her tongue out at me. "No! I'm gonna do what I wanna, mommy!" I glared at her. "I'm a boy." She grinned. "I know." I scowled and went back to work as she continued to taunt Christian. I wasn't really listening until I heard a crash and a screamed, "IT'S FOR SATINE ALRIGHT?!?!" I turned around quickly to see Natalie on the floor and a broken cup near Christian. I assumed that in her taunting, Natalie had knocked the cup off the table, annoying Christian in the process. I laughed looking at the scene. This brought Christian's attention toward me. "What? Haven't you ever loved someone you knew you couldn't have?" I blushed. "I uh, well." Natalie started laughing. "Lorelei!" I jumped on Natalie and started to tickle her. She giggled and yelled, "don't injure the Cleptokitty!!" I laughed and got off of her. Christian looked at me. "Who is Lorelei?" I blushed again and looked down. "She's this girl at school that I like. I just can't ask her out because she's SGA president and the most popular girl in school. I'm nobody." Christian shook his head. "All that doesn't matter as long as there's love. Nothing else matters." I just looked at him grinning. "So what's the problem with you and Satine?" Christian looked me in the eye and I saw a look of pure longing and love there. "She has prior obligations." I shook my head. "You obviously love her, just go for it. I'm sure she'll love you back. Try singing to her." Christian looked toward the giant discolored elephant, then back at me. "Now?" I grinned. "Yeah! Go for it!" He smiled for the first time since he had been in Satine's presence and stood up. "I'll be back soon." With that, he walked out the door to his garret, into the musty hallway air. Natalie laughed. "I wonder if he'll use the same lines he did in the movie. you wanna go watch?" I grinned. "Sure. I love this part." Me and Natalie both ran out the door, making sure to stay far enough away from Christian so he wouldn't see us. We were eventually led to the back of the elephant, which looking up on a real elephant would have given us a less than lovely view. Christian was climbing up a red sash hanging on the back of the elephant. He slipped a couple times and we snickered at his clumsiness. I thought about the movie set for a moment and remembered how the elephant had a ladder onto the roof. I motioned Natalie to follow me, and ran to the side where the ladder was located. I started to climb the ladder and Natalie followed. I heard familiar dialogue from my favorite movie and grinned. "Sorry. I couldn't sleep and I climbed up the." I imagined Christian's face and laughed slightly before I got to the top of the elephant and hid behind a box. "What?" Satine's face was priceless. I loved this part. "About tonight. when we were. when you thought I was the duke. you said that you loved me. and I was just wondering if." Satine cut him off. "If it was just an act?" I looked over the box and saw Christian nod. Satine got a 'well obviously' look on her face. "Of course." Christian grinned, obviously embarrassed, and cast his gaze downward. "Of course. Silly of me to think you could fall in love with someone like me." Satine's face showed a hint of regret. "I can't fall in love with anyone." Christian looked confused. "Can't fall in love. But a life without love that's terrible." Natalie spoke before Satine had a chance. "Oh please don't start that again." Apparently, they heard us because a second later Christian was peeking over the side of the box, glaring at Natalie. Natalie waved and I grabbed her hand out of the air. "You idiot." She grinned at me. "Isn't this romantic?" I then realized we were holding hands and let go of her. "Did you have to say anything?" I looked up at Christian. "I'm sorry, but we couldn't help but come see what was happening." Christian rolled his eyes. "Do you always have to interrupt me?" Natalie grinned. "Not always, just most of the time." Christian and I glared at her immediately. She smiled and looked up at Satine, who was leaning on the box, and smiled innocently. "Are you mad at me?" Satine nodded. "Oh yeah." Natalie grinned and looked at the circle of angry faces. "I wuv you." I put my arm over her shoulder. "Not gonna help this time, hun." Christian shook his head. "Can you guys just leave?" I nodded and dragged Natalie away. I'm not sure what happened that night, but Christian didn't come back to his garret until the next morning.
AN: ok. That's all I have for now, please review!!!
