Abby tried to tell herself that she wasn't responsible for what happened between Chris and Satine in this world.

After all, she reasoned, this is me and Alaina's world, and we can do whatever we want with it!

An.... and if he chose her over Satine, she could only enjoy it while it lasted, right? He said it himself, right?

I mean, maybe she didn't really know him at all, but all that mattered was that he loved her. Didn't he love her? Of course he did! She wasn't convenient, he kissed her!

While Abby silently wrestled with her conscience, she heard a lonely voice on the wind, mourning a lost love…

After the ball is over, just at the break of dawn,

After the dance is ended, and all the stars are gone.

Many the heart that's aching, if you could read them all.

Many the fond hope that's vanished, after the ball.

His eyes were shining, in the big ballroom,

Softly the organ was playing a tune.

There stood my sweetheart, my love, my own

Wishing some water, I left the room.

When I returned, pet, there stood a woman

Kissing my sweetheart, as lovers can.

Down went the glass, pet, broke in the fall,

Just as my heart was, after the ball.

After the ball is over, just at the break of dawn,

After the dance is ended, and all the stars are gone.

Many the heart that's aching, if you could read them all.

Many the fond hope that's vanished, after the ball.

"That's so sad.." Abby murmured, before realizing that the voice she heard belonged to Satine.

You took my kisses

And all my love

You taught me how to care

Am I to be just remnant

Of a one side love affair

All you took

I gladly gave

There is nothing left

For me to save

All of me

Why not take all of me

Can't you see

I'm no good without you

Take my lips

I want to loose them

Take my arms

I'll never use them

Your goodbye

Left me with eyes that cry

How can I go on dear

Without you

You took the part

That once was my heart

So why not take

All of me

Abby recognized what song Satine was starting to sing next, and joined in, blending their voices perfectly.

Love, love, love.

Love, love, love.

Love, love, love.

There's nothing you can do

That can't be done.

Nothing you can sing

That can't be sung.

Nothing you can say

But you can learn

How to play the game.

It's easy.

All you need is love.

All you need is love.

All you need is love, love.

Love is all you need.

Nothing you can make

That can't be made.

No one you can save

That can't be saved.

Nothing you can do

But you can learn

How to be you in time.

It's easy.

All you need is love.

All you need is love.

All you need is love, love.

Love is all you need.

Nothing you can know

That isn't known.

Nothing you can see

That isn't shown.

Nowhere you can be

That isn't where

You're meant to be.

It's easy.

All you need is love.

All you need is love.

All you need is love, love.

Love is all you need.

All you need is love.

All you need is love.

All you need is love, love.

Love is all you need.

Then Satine heard her and cut off abruptly, shutting her doors just in time to miss Abby singing her the last verse.

Yee-hai! Oh yeah!

He loves you,

Yeah yeah yeah.

He loves you,

Yeah yeah yeah.

Abby was no fool. She saw what was going on, and she would be no man's tool. It was time to halt the fantasy and get Chris and Satine back together.

In a sudden change of mood, she grinned cheerily. This should be almost as fun as indulging in a couple kisses with Chris!
