A/n:
Well, I have some very small amount of time on my hands, and no new ideas as of yet, so this chapter will be rather short.
Disclaimer : I do not own The Phantom of the Opera, nor do I own Scatter Sunshine.
I do not know who owns Phantom, so I shall simply say that right will always belong to Gaston Leroux. Scatter Sunshine was written by Lanta Wilson Smith and Edwin O. Excell wrote the music. Once again, this is found in the LDS hymnbook. I've only been using that lately since I cannot find any good lyrics that I do not wish to save for later.
Well, I hope you enjoy this chapter. Thank you all you who have reviewed, please continue to review. And everyone who hasn't: R/R, please!
Enjoy!

Chapter Eight: Scatter Sunshine
WHERE WAS EMILY? If Emily didn't show up soon, Emma would be very mad!
"I WANT EMILY!" Emma shouted, looking out of her cousin's window.
"Well, she'll be here soon. I know! How about we sing?"
"I WANT EMILY!"
"Please, Emma?"
Emma thought for a while.
"Okay." She hopped away from the window and sat in Mary's lap.
"How about your old favorite song 'Scatter Sunshine'?"
"Ummm...alright."
"What verses do you want to sing?"
"Ummm...all of 'em!"
"Okay, then.
And they began to sing together.
"} In a world where sorrow
Ever will be known,
Where are found the needy
And the sad and lone,
How much joy and comfort
You can all bestow,
If you scatter sunshine
Ev'rywhere you go.
Scatter sunshine all along your way.
Cheer and bless and brighten ev'ry passing day.
"} Slightest actions often
Meet the sorest needs,
For the world wants daily
Little kindly deeds.
Oh, what care and sorrow
You may help remove,
With your songs and courage,
Sympathy and love.
Scatter sunshine all along your way.
Cheer and bless and brighten ev'ry passing day.
"} When the days are gloomy,
Sing some happy song;
Meet the world's repining
With a courage strong.
Go with faith undaunted
Thru the ills of life;
Scatter smiles and sunshine
O'er its toil and strife.
Scatter sunshine all along your way.
Cheer and bless and brighten ev'ry passing day.{"
Knock, knock, knock.
"Em'ly!" Emma shouted and ran over and swung the door open.
"Hi, Emma. Thanks for watching her, Mary."
"No problem. Next time, don't be late picking her up. She got really upset."
"Oh! I'm sorry. Goodbye, Mary."
"Goodbye, Emily."
Emily and Emma stepped out and closed the door.
"Why /were/ you late, Emily?"
"I-" Emily paused. "Well, a man wanted to speak with me."
"Really?"
"Yes."
"What was he like?"
Emily sighed. That was exactly the kind of question Emma would ask.
"Well...he was...very nice."
"What's his name?"
"James O'Hara."
"Are you going to see him again?"
"I believe I will."
"How old was he?"
"Emma, I don't know."
"Does he like you?"
Emily bent over and picked Emma up.
"Okay, I think that's enough questions for now.
"But did he?"
"Emma."
"Did he?"
Emily sighed. It would be a very long walk home.
"Did he?"
