This is my first chapter, so please R/R! I don't expect much Reviews for this story since i'm writing for fun, but enjoy!

An Engagement

The Question:

Raoul was walking up the Opera House stairs when he heard someone yell his name, "Raoul!"

He quickly turned around to see that it was a very hyper Meg Giry calling his name.

"Ah, hello Mademoiselle Giry! You are looking wonderful today!" Raoul said charmingly as he proceeded down the stairs to speak to her.

"Hello Raoul!" Meg said blushing, "You look great too!" Meg blushed some more as she began staring nervously at the floor.

"I saw you last night, at the performance," Raoul said trying to grab her attention, "You looked wonderful! I'd have to say you were the best one out there!"

Meg's head quickly popped up as he finished his sentence, "Really! You think so?" She asked curiously staring at him.

"Of course! Your movements, everything, it looked beautiful!" Raoul said flirtingly as he began to smile.

"Raoul you are sweet... Only I wish I were really that good..." Meg said sadly. "I don't think I dance that well... I mean the other girls say I'm horrible..."

"Who says you are horrible?" Raoul asked trying to comfort her.

"Girls like Jammes... They make fun of me..." Meg said turning away from him.

"Well Jammes needs to learn how to see talent then! And she needs to learn how to dance! You were wonderful Meg! Don't let these other ballet girls talk you down... They are just jealous of your wonderful talent... Don't be sad Meg... Because if you're sad, then I will be too..." Raoul finished grabbing onto Meg's hands.

Meg looked up in surprise and then smiled, "Raoul, you are wonderful! You always know how to make me feel better!" Meg hugged Raoul, and was surprised in herself, "I'm sorry... I shouldn't have done that..." She began to back away, "I really should be going now... I have rehearsal..." Meg finished with blushing, "Au revoir!" She said turning her back to Raoul.

"No! Don't leave..." Raoul said sadly, surprising Meg.

"You don't want me to leave?" She asked, turning around, almost running to him.

"Of course not! I would never want you to leave!" Raoul said quickly, then suddenly realizing what he said, "I mean... I like talking to you, it's enjoyable..."

Meg blushed and began to giggle; a smile grew on Raoul's face as they stood face to face.

"Meg?" Raoul asked.

"Yes?" Meg replied back.

"Will you..." He began to stutter, "Will you..."

"Yes Raoul? What is it?"

"Will you go to dinner with me tonight!" Raoul blurted out.

Meg's face turned from a smile to a sad look, "Aren't you still in love with Christine though?" She asked him, dreading what the answer might be.

"I was..." Raoul said guiltily, "But then, when she left, I discovered that I didn't need her... And then I saw you... You, dancing on stage with a huge smile on your face, and at that moment my breath was taken away as I saw you glance at me... My heart stopped for a moment as well, and I just wanted to take you within my arms, to get to know you... You are probably thinking I'm stupid... That I just have some small crush on you... That I'm just trying to get close to you so I don't have to remember Christine... But it isn't true... She's in the past, and you are my present... So I ask hopefully... Will you accompany me to dinner tonight? If you don't want to, I understand..."

Meg looked up into his eyes and smiled, "I'd love to go to dinner with you tonight Raoul... I really would..." She stared more deeply into his eyes, and he stared back, it seemed as if the world stopped that moment as they both stood there staring into each other's eyes.

"Well!" Meg said happily breaking the mood, "I think I should go ask Mama! Come with me Raoul!" Meg said dragging him up to her mothers office.

A/N: Well there is more to come! I'll try to write it as soon as I can, thanks, bye!
