CHAPTER 6 - WHAT REALLY HAPPENED AT THE BIG OL' WIND MILL
One month later . . .
The moment had come! Christian's big night! He stood nervously behind the giant curtain, waiting for the music that would summon him onstage. Satine tried to calm him.
Satine: (whispering to Christian) "Don't worry! You'll do fine."
Christian: (rapidly) "Oh, God! Oh, God! Oh, God!" (turns to Satine) "I can't do this!"
Satine: "Isn't this what you've always wanted?"
The camera gets as close as it can to Christian's face. We can see all of his zits and the drool starting to dribble down his chin. He has an over exaggerated dreamy look on his face and his mouth is hanging open.
Christian: (dramatically) "To be a real actor . . . "
He then snaps out of it as the music begins to play. Christian looked nervously to Satine and she nodded. He pranced out onto the stage very flamboyantly and began his dance.
Satine: (watching) "Look at that boy dance."
Christian was the fruitiest ballerina (and we're not talking apples and oranges here . . . ) one did ever lay eyes on. He twirled and jumped and balanced on his toes with perfect control, yet was so graceful at the same time. Though his man boobs flopped around like crazy, everyone's eyes were on his beautiful dancing. Satine smiled as she watched Christian dance his heart away.
Duke: (coming from behind and putting his arm around Satine) "He couldn't get any whiter . . . or gayer."
Satine: "And I, dear Duke, couldn't be happier!"
As soon as it had started, Christian's performance was over. The audience clapped wildly and Christian bowed, blushing. Satine ran onstage to her dear friend and gave him a hug. This was just about the right time for someone to break out into a happy song . . .
Satine: (singing) "A MOMENT LIKE THIS!"
The audience was stunned with shock, but not because she was so good, but because Satine majorly sucked. Her voice cracked and it sounded like she was tone-deaf.
Satine: (still singing more horribly than ever) "SOME PEOPLE WAIT A LIFETIME FOR A MOMENT LIKE THIS!"
The audience was now booing poor Satine and covering their ears.
Some Guy: "BOO! Get off the stage!"
Some Lady: "You SUCK!"
Despite this, Satine was, of course, in her own little Satine world and continued to sing.
Satine: "SOME PEOPLE SEARCH FOREVER FOR THAT ONE SPECIAL KISS!"
Zidler, whom was in the audience, got up from his seat to go and punch Satine in the nose. But, unexpectedly Simon Cowell from American Idol got up from his seat and stopped Zidler.
Simon: "Zidler, let me handle this one."
Simon climbed onstage and approached Satine.
Simon: (in his usual snotty tone) "That is the most horrifying sound I've ever heard in my entire life. You bloody suck!"
Then, Simon socked her in the face. Satine, shocked, toppled over and fell to the floor.
Audience: "YAY!!!"
Simon: (in a very Elvis Presley sort of way) "Thank you, thank you very much!"
