Disclaimer: I still don't own much but I do have a headache and stomachache so they pretty much help take my mind off of it. Anyways I want to get as much posted as possible before Monday. I start a new job then and I won't have as much time to write so sorry if this story isn't updated often.

A major thanks to all of my reviewers, you know who you are. Thank you so very much from Erik and myself.

The Perfect Muse Couple

Arianna managed to regain her composure by the time she reached her office. But her eyes were still rather red. Red enough for Marci to notice and take concern.

"Is everything alright?" she asked.

"Yes, everything is fine. I'm just reliving some painful memories." Arianna said with a hint of sadness.

"I'm sorry." Marci said putting her hand on Arianna's shoulder, "Raoul and Christine are waiting for you in your office."

"Thanks for your concern Marci." Arianna said as she squeezed her hand, "How long have they been waiting?"

"Not even five minutes." she said as she glanced at her watch, "They understood the wait when I mentioned your mother."

"Speaking of Mother, she has promised to try and change for Erik's sake." Arianna said.

"That is good to hear. I miss the old her." she said gently.

"As do I Marci." Arianna said as she opened her office door, "Thanks again."

Arianna walked into her office and smiled at the sight that met her eyes. Raoul and Christine were holding hands as they looked out over her balcony. The sight of the two of them always warmed her heart. They were the perfect muse couple. They just complimented each other so perfectly in every way. Making all other muses a little jealous.

"Ahem." Arianna cleared her throat.

They both turned around and laughed. Embarrassed by their lack of attention.

"Sorry Arianna. We didn't hear you come in." Raoul said.

"That's okay." Arianna said, "Please have a seat."

"Thank you." Christine said.

"I have good news for the two of you." Arianna smiled, "I have found two artists that would be perfect for you."

"Great." Christine said, "I always love working with new artists."

"As do I." Raoul smiled.

" It gets better, they happen to be sisters. The two of you will be working side by side in the same house." Arianna said as she handed them the file, "Now Maria is the writer who happens to be very fond of you Raoul. And Theresa is the singer who idolizes you Christine."

"They sound absolutely perfect." Raoul said holding Christine's hand.

"Thank you so very much Arianna." Christine smiled, "You have made us so very happy."

"Then I have done my job." Arianna said, "I know you both will work wonders."

Arianna walked Raoul and Christine to the door and turned back around just in time to catch a glimpse of the sunset. She walked out onto her balcony, just taking in the peaceful evening air when suddenly the sound of an alarm shattered the ambiance. Arianna ran in to her office and stared at her computer screen hardly believing her eyes.

"It can't be. It just can't be. Not now. Not now." Arianna said with disbelief as she stared at her computer screen. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Cliffhanger. I know, I know it's mean. But I am still working on the next chapter. Thanks again to all my reviewers, Erik loves you all for reviewing so keep it up.
