Disclaimer: Sadly I do not own Phantom.
A/N: Thank you all for the wonderful reviews, to answer some of your questions though. Sorry about the the way I make the characters speak, i'll try to improve on that and not make them sound modern. That was for Euphrasie-Cosette, and to answer The Real Christine Daae's question, this all takes place about 2 months after the whole kidnapping, and Christine lives with Erik under the Opera house, I talk a little about that in the third chapter. And thanks Erikorlando'sgirl for the funny review! I hope you all enjoy and sorry for the long Author's note, R/R please!
Preparing for the Date:
They both finally reached Mme. Giry's office when Meg knocked on the door.
"Yes? Who is it?" Mme. Giry asked sternly.
"It's me Mama! And I'm with Raoul!" Meg said excitedly as she threw the door open.
"Calm down girl!" Mme. Giry said staring at Raoul, "What is it you are here for?"
"Well..." Meg said twirling her hair, "Can I go to dinner with Raoul tonight! Please! Please, please, please!"
Mme. Giry gave a look at Raoul, and then glanced at her daughter, "Of course, just don't stay out too late."
"Oh thank you Mama!" Meg exclaimed hugging her mother tightly, then she turned to Raoul, "I'm going to go home and change! Meet me here in an hour?"
"But of course Mademoiselle," Raoul said charmingly smiling at Meg and her mother.
Meg ran out excitedly, leaving Mme. Giry and Raoul alone.
"I trust that you will be kind to her?" Mme. Giry said.
"Of course! I wouldn't dream of being anything but kind!" Raoul replied, smiling, "I should be on my way Madame, until the next time we meet?" Raoul finished bowing.
Mme. Giry nodded and closed to door behind Raoul.
Meg's House:
Meg entered her house, and began to run up the stairs to her bedroom where she would change for her date that afternoon with Raoul.
"What should I wear!" Meg asked herself, as she looked at all the dresses she had.
Meg looked through her closet and noticed a pink dress, "This one looks pretty!" She said grabbing it from the rack and putting it on.
"I hope he likes me in this..." She said looking at herself in the mirror, powdering her face and fixing her hair.
"Well I mustn't keep Raoul waiting!" Meg said giving once glance at herself in the mirror, and running off to the Opera house.
Raoul's House:
Raoul opened the door to his luxurious house, and walked up the steps to his bedroom.
After inside, he softly closed the door behind him.
"Are you making a wise decision?" Raoul asked himself, "You are going out with Christine's best friend..."
He sighed and went to his closet where he chose his outfit for the dinner he was to have with Meg.
He was heading towards the door when he suddenly stopped, and he glanced at his dresser. Lying flat out on the dresser was a picture frame of him and Christine.
"Oh Christine..." Raoul said gently picking up the picture, he traced his fingers around the frame. He turned the picture over and opened the back of it taking the picture of him and Christine out throwing it in the lit fireplace.
He turned his back to the fire, so he wouldn't have to see the burning picture turn to black dust.
"Are you really over Christine?" Raoul asked himself, "Have you really moved on?" His conscience was killing him, and he hated it, he knew he didn't want to go back to Christine, that it was over between them, but a reoccurring though always wandered through his mind, "Will you ever be able to move on? Will you ever be able to forget asking her to take your hand in marriage?"
"Shut up!" Raoul yelled furiously, slamming his hands on his door, "Just shut up..."
He glanced back at the fireplace, to see the dust of the burnt picture of him and Christine, "Why..." He closed his eyes and turned around, placing a hand on the doorknob of his bedroom door to open it, "Goodbye...Christine..." He stepped out, gently closing the door behind him.
