Chapter One
(A/N: Praying that FFN doesn't bust my ass for this iinteractive idea, so i would prefer it if you could email all requests to 14067@oakham.rutland.sch.uk rather than leave a review :) Thanks!)
Backstage at the Queens Theatre, Shaftsburey Avenue, London, UK . . .
(The cast of the Phantom of the Opera find themselves backstage in an unused dressing room. For the purpose of this story I have decided to mix the book and the musical together, thus giving us people like Nadir and Phillipe. Also, Erik has a white half-mask, cause I like it that way :) Then, in a burst of purple smoke, the cloaked figure from the Prolouge appears with everybody's phavourite phantom, Erik.)
Christine: Erik? Is that you?
(She runs in to his arms, leaving the drooling Raoul ((still dazed from the time travel)) empty handed.)
Erik: Yes my dear, i'm here now . . . hush
Christine: Oh, Erik! I'm so confused!
Nadir: Aren't we all?
Raoul: Ice cream anyone?
(The figure smacks Raoul on the head)
Figure: Thats all you've talked about since you got here, now shut up!
Phillipe: Hey! We're family!
(Erik glares. He has come to like the Figure and his taste in clothes ((cloak, hidden face etc.)) )
Phillipe: On second thoughts, blood is only so thick!
(Carlotta wobbles in with Piangi. They are tired)
Carlotta: Not much of a snack bar, I must say! Ubaldo! Take my mink
Piangi: Yes dear
Firmin: Eeek! The Opera Ghost!
Erik: Hm? I've been in the room a while now
Firmin: Hold me Andre!
(He does so . . . Doesn't take long for things to get heated up around here)
Figure: Oh please! We've been here less than 2 minutes and already the managers are interloping! This isnt my theatre you know so don't . . . ugh . . . stain it
Raoul: Excuse me mister cloak man?
Figure: Yes boy?
Raoul: Why are we here? I was playing with my dolls before this happened
Figure: You'll see my boy, in just a moment
(Suddenly, there is a screeching noise from the stage, causing the Phantom peeps to cover their ears and wince)
Cast of Les Miz: When tommorow . . . coooooooooooooooomes!!!!!!!!!!
(Mirrors begin to break)
Erik: Damn, that looked an ideal route back to Paris
Meg: I thought I was a good screamer
(A great cheer and storm of clapping can be heard from the audience as the cast take their bows. When it has finally finished, the door to the dressing room opens, and in walks Jeff Lyeton, the London Jean Valjean.)
Lyeton: What the - ? What are you all doing in my dressing roo-
(The figure grabs Lyeton and puts a sheet of cloth which smells suspicious.)
Lyeton: Mrmph! (Losing conciousness) mmph . . .
(Very awkward silence. A few coughs)
Figure: Urr . . . He's um . . . not dead if that's what you were wondering. Well, my dear Fop, the reason I have brought you all here is . . .
Erik (Praying): Force Christine to marry me c'mon c'mon c'mon
Raoul (Praying): More ice cream more ice cream
Figure: To perform a musical for me!
Erik: Oooh boy . . .
Andre: Musical?! Guys & Dolls! I wanna be Nathan! Nathan Detroit!
Firmin: Never! I am the one true Nathan. Listen Monsieur! Luuuuuuck beee the laaady toooniiiiight!
Figure: Oh God stop . . .
Piangi: I think we should try Jekyll & Hyde. Here Monsieur, let me show you. (Switching voices from Jekyll & Hyde). All that you are is a face in the mirror! I close my eyes and you'll dissapear! I'm what you fa-
Nadir: How about Singing In The -
Figure: SHUT UP! Your here to perform what I want!
Phantom Cast: Soooory
Figure: Very good. You're here to perform, Les Miserables
Nadir: What? Whaaaat?
Erik: Les Miserables, Daroga. Have you not read it?
Nadir: I'm afraid I have. Its a giant of a text
Figure: And its a giant of a musical. Which requires a giant alot of chloroform. Which requires a giant new cast. Which requires, you!
Phantom Cast: Oh no
Christine: Erik, what does he mean?
Erik: How should I know, the mans obviously mad
Christine: But you're the angel of music!
Erik: How many times do we have to go over this Christine. I'm just a m-
Figure: Don't spoil the illusion for her. Here you are my dear, the cast list. Knock yourself out
(The cast gather around the sheet of paper while the figure swirls his cloak around himself and dissapears in a cloud of smoke. Sexy, huh?)

(A/N: Ooooh we have some major holes in our cast list! Ok guys this is what we're gonna do. I need some "actors to play Javert and of course Ponine. Anyone up for it? Also we need people for the millions of smaller parts like the Bishop/Montparnasse/Lesgles etc. Also i'm gonna need some backstage people as well so if you don't get the part you want you'll either be put in the chorus or backstage :) I hope this works . . .)
