A/N: Ok, another songfic. This time I used the scene where Helen, Andromache, and the Trojans leave the city and find shelter... I used 'Your Star' by The All-American Rejects. They ROCK! Anyway, this time, I wrote a lot more of my own stuff, I think. Anyway, you don't like it, don't read or review it. For those of you who do, Enjoy!

ElvenRanger13: Whatever. That was not unfair to the writers. What's unfair to the writers in having the script on almost every site out there and people reading the script rather than seeing the movie. And for your information, I did add my own words. Just not to what they said. And I didn't change what they said because I thought it sounded better the way it was written!


Andromache, carrying her baby and a lit torch, led Helen, Paris and the other women and children to the palace gardens. There she led them down a staircase to a vine-tangled door. The door that her beloved husband had shown her. Quickly she pulled it open to reveal a dark tunnel.

"It's a long walk," she said to the people.

Though they were scared, Helen and the others entered the tunnel. None could imagine what lay ahead.

Paris, however, did not enter the tunnel. Instead, he stood outside the door. He looked at Helen.

"I stay," he said to her.

She screams when I'm away
She's been gone before
I'm worried all the time
Why worry anymore?
Now I go away
Now I know today

I picked out your star
Turned night to day
A simple whisper from your voice
And I fade away
You wished for love
You pushed me away
Your love for me was everything I need
The air I breathe

"No–," protested Helen.

"My father will never abandon the city," Paris told her. "I can't leave him."

"The city is dead," she screamed. "They're burning it to the ground!"

Paris looked at the huddled refugees. They were a timid group, terrified and weak. However, one boy, in particular, stood out. To Paris, he looked stronger and braver than the rest. He was supporting his elderly father and helping him to walk.

"What's your name," Paris asked him.

"Aeneas," the boy replied.

"Do you know how to use a sword," asked Paris.

Aeneas nodded and Paris pulled out the sword of Troy.

"The sword of Troy," said Paris admiring it. "I wasn't so good with it, but it's a fine sword. As long as it's in a Trojan's hand, our people have a future." He handed the sword to Aeneas and instructed him, "Protect them, Aeneas. Find them a new home."

Aeneas nodded solemnly. "I will."

Andromache touched Paris's arm. She looked scared and worried.

"Briseis wasn't in her room," she said. She was deeply worried. Although Briseis had not been her blood relative, she had been a good friend and Andromache, like Paris, couldn't bear to have her dead.

"I'll find her," responded Paris. He too looked worried for Briseis.

Andromache kissed him, turned and began to lead the way through the tunnel. Tears were in her eyes, and although she had found a way out of the city, she did not know where to go. However, the Trojans, unaware of her fear, followed. Aeneas quickly bowed to Paris before continuing with his father. It would be a long journey for them all.

"I'll stay with you," Helen said to Paris. She was frantic and couldn't bear to lose him. Tear were forming in her eyes.

But Paris pushed her gently toward the door.

She, now she's all alone
Her eyes they drown in tears
Their love was meant to last
But she is blind with fear
Now I go away
Now I know today

I picked out your star
Turned night to day
A simple whisper from your voice
And I fade away
You wished for love
You pushed me away
Your love for me was everything I need
The air I breathe

"Go," he said.

"Don't leave me," Helen said, her tears threatening to spill down her face. "Please don't leave me."

"How could you love me if I ran now," he asked her earnestly. He had been a coward before, but Paris was determined to prove himself.

Leave me be
Now I'm free
Love reflecting everything
You want space
I need you to help me see this through

There she goes

(There she goes)
There she goes

I picked out your star
Turned night to day
A simple whisper from your voice
And I fade away
You wished for love
You pushed me away
Your love for me was everything I need
The air I breathe

"Please–"

"We will be together," he said quickly, cutting her off. "In this world or the next, we will be together."

I picked out your star
Turned night to day
A simple whisper from your voice
And I fade away
You wished for love
You pushed me away
You're everything to me

He kissed her hard, pushed her through the door and closed it. He kissed the wood, turned and ran toward the battle. He hoped that he would be able to find his cousin Briseis and still make it out alive.
