DISCLAIMER: I know I didn't put one of these for my other chapters so far. So I'll just get this over with right now. Satine, Christian, Zidler, and any other characters from the movie are owned by the fabulous Baz Lurhmann. The characters I own are Adam, Devon, Calista, Annette, Lisette, Natalie, Mike, Darien, Hayden, Brian*, Mark*, Christophe*, Matt*, and Rodrigue*.

*appear in later chapters

~*~Chapter 9~*~

Calista opened the door since someone was knocking. It was Hayden and Annette's parents.

Hayden said, "Hey Calista."

Calista replied smiling, "Hi Hayden."

Satine started coming into the living room saying, "Calista, it's time to." and paused. "Lisette?!"

The blond lady standing next to Hayden yelled in shock, "Satine?!"

Christian then came in and stared at the tall middle-aged man standing next to Lisette. "Duke?!"

The man was indeed the Duke who invested on the Moulin Rouge years ago. He said in his funny yet annoying voice, "Penniless Writer?!"

Satine said in defense of Christian, "His name is Christian, you IDIOT!!!! Are you Annette's parents?"

Lisette and the Duke nodded.

Annette asked wondering, "What's up with them?"

Hayden answered, "Dad told me that before we were born something happened between all of them.

Calista then asked, "Then why is he calling my dad, a penniless writer?"

Adam replied, "There was a play called 'Spectacular Spectacular' and mom was the star of the show."

"Yeah and Dad was the investor," Annette added.

Devon said, "All right but what about your mom, Lisette?"

Hayden replied, "I really don't know."

Lisette yelled, "Annette, Hayden, we're leaving."

Hayden cried out to Lisette, "Just give me one minute."

A/N: I'm sorry I didn't update the story for a while. I was really busy editing the newly made chapters in my notebook. I know this chapter was short but I promise the next ones will be much longer.
