London Theatre!

Hey! We last left our favorite couple (Satine and Christian of course lol) in utter confusion on each other's feelings when they haven't even gotten their own confusion of their own feelings about each other figured out!

Disclaimer: yes, again I still do not own Moulin Rouge, except on VHS and I hope to get the DVD soon though so I can watch it on my laptop.

Pre-A/N: Well, I find that Tork is actually "The Doctor." Well, I will continue calling him Tork as a name, and we'll call the Unconscious Argentinean Narky (short for Narcoleptic Argentinean lol.)

~~Begin Chapter~~

Christian once again stayed up all night. He kept thinking of Satine, she had stolen his heart and all his thoughts, and no matter what he did he couldn't get them back. Even if she had broken his heart beyond repair, he still didn't have his heart back, those million pieces, every single one was Satine's and Satine's alone.

He decided to go take a walk, the night sky looked grim, but he wanted to walk anyway. He didn't take a cab to the park but just walked the few miles.

~~With Satine~~

Satine couldn't sleep that night; she usually had these nights of insomnia about three times a week. Usually listening to some classical music helped her sleep, but sometimes it couldn't, like tonight.

Jude had gone back to his place so she was alone. Satine decided to take a walk in a park just a few miles away. She caught a late night cab there first.

She walked along the path through the park and decided to take a rest next to the pond/lake on a bench. She didn't mind that the sky above looked ready to pour a waterfall, her own tears could cause a flood.

Unknown to her, Christian Adams was walking in the same park! He was coming along the other side of the pond/lake. He looked up at the sky, a thick blanket of clouds ready to release a rain as heavy as his heart and grief.

Then, like a miracle, the cloud coverage broke, letting a lone beam of moonlight flow through like a spotlight and it shone across the lake, on a lone bench, where Satine sat.

Christian had a sorrowful look on his face, but when he saw her in the moonlight, she looked so beautiful. Her white pale skin just seemed to glow almost silver, her blue eyes stood out somehow. Christian wanted to walk away, but his feet were drawn to walk around the pond/lake to her.

But unknown to him, another man had spotted her, an old, wrinkled man in a suit and top hat. He had a gruff look to him. He walked over to her, and sat down, "Hello young miss, I think I'd like your services tonight."

Satine looked at him and scooted away, "I'm not a prostitute!"

"Then what are you doing out so late? You will be mine; you're the most beautiful creature I've ever seen!" He grabbed Satine by the wrist and put his other hand on her chest. He threw her to the ground and took out a knife. "Hello, I'm Jack the Ripper! Prepare to die, after a pleasurable course of intercourse!"

"Leave me alone! HELP! HELP!" Satine yelled as she tried to get away from him but he put the blade to her throat.

"I could always do it the other way, kill you first then pleasure myself on your dead corpse!" He said pressing the blade into her soft porcelain skin.

Christian heard the cries of help, he ran. He ran to the other side and saw Satine; her clothes were ripped forcefully off, a blade to her neck. Christian shook with rage at her attacker and ran to him. He tackled him down yelling, "YAAAAAAAAAH! LEAVE HER ALONE!"

Satine quickly grabbed her things and covered herself again. She saw Christian fighting with the man. The man tried to stab him but Christian kept avoiding the blade while still throwing punches at the man. But then the man brought out another blade!

"NO!" Satine lurched forward and punched the hand that held the other blade. The hand was thrown back and the knife was let loose. Satine ran to the knife grabbed it and ran back. She stabbed the hand that held the other knife. The man yelled in pain, Christian grabbed the other knife and ran him through. The man started to convulse, then he was dead.

Satine had tears in her eyes, she was practically almost raped, and then she helped Christian kill him. Christian got up panting, the man may have been old, but he was strong. He looked at Satine, she looked at him, and they embraced in a hug. Satine cried in his arms and he comforted her.

"It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's all over now," Christian said brushing his hand through her soft silky hair. He closed his eyes; it felt so good to have Satine in his arms.

"I'm so sorry, Christian," Satine sobbed. "I didn't know…"

"Sh, sh," Christian said. "We have to hide him."

"The pond/lake," Satine said. Christian nodded, and they dragged the body of Jack the Ripper into the pond/lake. "We can go wash up at my place."

Christian and Satine went over to her flat, neither speaking a word. Then when they got there, Christian stopped Satine, a look of confusion and sorrow in his eyes, "What happened?"

"That man-"

"No, I mean what happened a year and a half ago?"

"I-I thought you were dead."

"I thought you were dead! What happened to that?"

"The doctor misdiagnosed my sickness; I had trouble breathing all the time because of the corsets. I had a bloody mouth," Satine explained, "I had scared my gums, when I fell from the swing, the scar never really closed properly, whenever I coughed, it would open again."

"I thought you had died, right in my arms. But if you lived," Christian choked. "Why didn't you see me?"

"I was told that you killed yourself," Satine said. "I wanted to see you, but the thought of seeing you dead would be more than I could stand."

"You heard that I killed myself?" Christian realized, it was his fault, he had shot the gun, no one knew. "When?"

"I had woken up, two hours after I had passed out," Satine said. Christian pulled her into a hug. "I'm so sorry Christian, I should've checked!"

"Wait, did Zidler know you were alive?"

"Yes, almost everyone did except Toulouse, Satie, Narky, and Tork," Satine said. Christian's eyes grew hard.

"Harry knew, and he didn't tell me! Marie, and Nini, even Chocolate, did they know?"

"No, not Chocolate, he wasn't there. Did Harry know you were alive?"

"He found out," Christian said. "They could've told us! We should've known about each other! Satine, I'm so sorry to have been edgy!"

Christian pulled Satine into a hug and started to kiss her. Then he asked, "Wait, what about Jude?"

"He's just a friend; I met him when I boarded the train in Paris. We tried a relationship, it didn't work, not for a few days," Satine said. "What about Sadie?"

"So he's not your husband?" Christian asked. Satine shook her head. "Thank God!"

"What about Sadie?"

"She's just my editor, I knew she had this thing for me, but I told her no," Christian said. "You still had my heart, and I don't want it back."

Satine smiled and they kissed. They kissed a most passionate kiss that could not be rivaled. This kiss was more passionate then when they had decided to become lovers in the first place. This kiss was a kiss of true undying love. They kissed again, a most passionate kiss, they broke a moment, and Christian started singing, "Never knew I could feel like this; like I've never seen the sky, before. Want to vanish inside your kiss"-he kissed her-"Listen to my heart, can you hear is sing? Telling me to give you everything"-he laid her on the bed-"Seasons may change winter to spring, but I love you, until the end of time." They started kissing more and then…

You don't expect me to continue do you? I'm only fifteen, I haven't done that yet…but you know what they do.

Outside the window, two faces peered in until the two had gone to bed then they left. Jude and Sadie walked down the street together.

"They're back together now," Sadie said smiling. "I'm so glad for them!"

"Yes, my friend will be happy now," Jude said. He and Sadie looked into each others eyes; they could see something in each other. "Do you…uh, do...you...want…breakfast, me with…"

Jude seemed a little tongue-tied. Sadie laughed a little and Jude felt like goo.

"I think breakfast, lunch and dinner with you would be great," Sadie said. Jude smiled like an idiot. (Oh come on, who didn't see this coming? Sadie is the name of Jude Law's wife! Duh!) They walked down the street hand in hand, laughing lightly and enjoying each other's company almost as much and Satine and Christian were enjoying each other's company.

~~Next Day~~

Sun shone through the window shining on the bad where Satine lay in Christian's arms. Christian woke first, seeing Satine's slumbering face in front of his. He smiled how wonderful life was now Satine was in his arms. He kissed her all over her face waking Satine. She smiled right when Christian kissed her straight on the lips.

"Good morning, Sunshine," Christian said breaking the kiss and then started nuzzling her. Satine giggled.

"Good morning, love," Satine said kissing Christian's cheek. Christian nibbled on her ear, Satine went into more giggles.

"How wonderful life is now you're in the world," Christian said kissing her neck.

"I love you," Satine said as Christian pulled her closer to him. "We have to get out of bed sooner or later to go to rehearsal!"

"Mm," Christian moaned, "Fine, we'll get out later!"

"How much later?"

"A few days," Christian said as he pulled the covers over them. They laughed like kids.

~~Rehearsal~~

Cephus paced about impatiently, "Where are those two?"

Jude and Sadie shrugged. Jude said, "Probably had a long night last night."

Sadie laughed, "Or perhaps it was too short for them."

Jude smiled. He held Sadie close to him. He started to kiss up and down her neck, then said, "Perhaps we can go and check on them."

"Yes do that!" Cephus said practically pushing them out the door. "And make out in the carriage not here!"

Jude and Sadie caught a cab and told the cabby to take them to Satine's flat. They closed the shades on the window. By the time they got to the flat, the cabby had to slam on the door to get their attention.

"Sir, ma'am, we're at your destination!" The cabby said.

"I'll say!" he heard Jude's voice. Five minutes later Jude and Sadie came out. Jude paid the cabby, "Thanks."

They walked up to the flat and knocked on the door.

~~Inside~~

"Someone's at the door," Satine giggled from under the sheets with Christian.

"Your point is?" Christian asked. Satine laughed a little as he nibbled at her ear lobe.

"Someone has to get it!" Satine said about to get up. Christian pulled her back.

"No, you save your energy," Christian said. "I'll get it."

Christian got up and put on his underpants and a button up shirt. He walked to the door mumbling about the rudeness of people knocking at the door at a time like this. He looked through the peep hole, "Oh, it's him."

Christian opened the door and saw Sadie with him too. He went behind the door, "Uh hello. What do you want? Oh and uh, Jude right? Well, anyway, sorry about uh the punch." Christian made a fist and motion like punching.

"Oh no, no problem happens a lot," Jude said.

"Well, what is it?" Christian asked.

"Oh, we're here to get you two to rehearsal," Jude said. Christian groaned.

"I don't want to go!" Christian pouted as he kicked the floor. Then he brightened, "Tell them we're sick!"

"You want us to lie?" Sadie asked.

"Oh come on, just today! We'll go tomorrow! We promise, don't we, Darling?" Christian yelled back to Satine.

"Yes!" Satine yelled back. Christian turned back to them.

"Will you?" he asked.

"I don't know, after you punched me like that," Jude said scratching the back of his neck. Christian put on a puppy dog pout (aw, Ewan with a puppy dog pout…can you picture it too?) and Jude nodded, "fine, we will.

Christian hugged him, "Thank you! Now, get out!" Christian pushed them out and locked the door. He turned back, and went into the bedroom tearing off his shirt and underpants as he jumped on the bed and went under the covers with Satine.

~~At the Theatre~~

Unfortunately, Toulouse, Narky, Satie and Tork didn't know of the reuniting of Satine and Christian, so they worried about it like mothers.

"We have to figure out a way to bring them back together!" Toulouse said pacing in a circle, followed by the other two. "Now that Jude and Sadie are taken with each other, Christian and Satine are open for each other."

"Yes, but have you seen how hostile they are?" Satie said. "It may be quite the task to bring them together again."

"Of course, we could always make amends with them, play the psychiatrist, force them to listen to us," Narky said. "And then-hic"

Narky collapsed behind Tork and Toulouse accidentally stepped on Narky's face.

"Ipe! Sorry! Sorry!" Toulouse said backing up into Satie who fell back.

"I'm the only one not affected by this chain of collapses—oof!" Tork was hit in the back when the door swung open. Jude and Sadie stepped in and looked at the four bohemians.

"Oops," They said at the same time. Then Cephus ran up stepping on Narky's abdomen.

"Well? Where are they?" Cephus asked. Narky gasped for air and wheezed. Cephus looked down and then jumped off, "I'm so sorry!!"

"You stepped on my face!" Narky yelled holding his nose.

"Sorry, that was my fault!" Toulouse said. Narky growled.

"My features are disrupted! How dare you! Come here you half minded little dwarf!" Narky yelled. Toulouse yelled and ran away. Tork got up and turned to Jude and Sadie. He shook a finger at them.

"Haven't you got any respect?! You nearly gave me a heart attack bursting through the door like some anti-bohemian group!" Tork said.

"Sorry," Jude said hiding a bit behind Sadie. Sadie just laughed at him.

"Needing me to defend thee?" Sadie asked. Jude nodded.

"Just give him that Look of Death!" Jude said. Sadie gave Jude that look. He turned her around, "Yeah, that's the one!"

Tork saw it and went on his way, "Then again, you didn't know I was there so it is all well here."

Satie just got up and dusted himself off and went back to his composing.

Cephus walked up to Jude, "Well where are they?"

"They're in bed," Jude said. "They're down with a bit of a cold."

"Yes, so they're taking care of each other," Sadie said. Toulouse ran up.

"So they can stand each other now?" He asked. They shrugged.

~~Next Day~~

Christian again woke up with Satine in his arms. He smiled, it wasn't a dream, this was real. He kissed her on the nose and nuzzled her awake, "Morning, sunshine, time to get up and go to rehearsal."

"Mm, already it's a new day?" Satine asked. Christian kissed her and smiled.

"Yes," He said kissing along her neck.

"Well, okay then, let's get dressed," Satine said. She got up wrapping the sheets around her. She looked through her closet for a new outfit then saw blood spots on the floor. She looked at the sheets. Her eyes widened. "Oh no!"

"Uh, Satine, we have a problem," Christian said. Satine looked at him holding up his bloodied clothes. "We have to wash the clothes, and ourselves!"

"Blood doesn't come off easily," Satine said. Christian grinned and walked up to her kissing her neck. "Why are you smiling?"

"We'll have to spend a while in the bath tub to get it out," Christian said. "Your bathtub is big enough for two people, if you catch my drift."

"Mm," Satine thought. "Alright."

She and Christian went to the bathtub, filled it and washed themselves for a few hours, refilling the tub with warm water occasionally.

~~End Chapter~~

Finally! They're back together! Yay, but what about the clueless ness of Toulouse and the others?! We'll see if they get it cleared up. Opening night soon to come yeah! Short chapter I know, sorry, I'll try making the next one longer.

Honestly, writing romance isn't my thing. And I don't write explicit things unless it is overly violent and bloody. So NO lemon in this! Yuck, I haven't even made out with a guy in my life! (In a way, some may think that sad since I'm fifteen, but I'm not in the least bit attractive so most guys just skip over y'know. Shallow b******s…)

Well, how joo like? Eh? Good eh? Yeppers, I should hope so! Lol. Anyway, visit my Jude Law Shrine, particularly the Forums,

Okay now that's that! More chapters to come soon! But reviews first I must get! (Yoda talk…whoa…)
