Jenny awoke to the sound of birds and gentle breathing beside her, she could see white light through the lids of her eyes and her first thought was that she forgot to shut the curtains in the hotel. But then she realised what she was sleeping on was not as soft as her hotel bed. She opened her eyes to see the blue sky above her and the sun rising in the sky. She sat up; she was on the roof of the Opera house. Just then she heard Jason groan and half wake up:
"What are you doing here?"
"Jason we are on the roof, we fell asleep" Jenny giggled and half lay back down "We stayed out all night" Jason rolled on to his side grabbed her waist and pulled her back down to him so she was spooned against him, she could feel his muscles and heart beat in her back.
"Just a few more minutes" Jason said and playfully started snoring, Jenny poked him "Alright you slave driver I'm up" Laughing they got to their feet and packed up the blanket and headed inside. While walking down the stairs Jason turned to her "Come back to my dressing room we can freshen up before I hear you sing" Jenny followed him and soon found herself in a room roughly like Christine Daae's dressing room it had a floor length mirror on the far wall and Flowers congratulating him for the perfect performance last night. Jason went over to the chest of draws and pulled out a black shirt and some track suit pants and handed them to Jenny.
"The bathroom is through there, go and have a shower and then wait for me to return. I shall use one of the other dressing rooms"
"Thanks Jason" Jenny gratefully took the clothes and went in to the bathroom and locked the door.

About fifteen minutes later Jenny emerged from the bathroom in Jason's shirt and pants her hair wet trailing down her back, Jason still wasn't back. Jason won't mind Jenny thought as she grabbed a blush off his chest of draws and brushed her long brown hair. She started humming then it progressed to singing quietly:
Child of the wilderness
Born into emptiness
Learn to be lonely
Learn to find your way in darkness
who will be there for you
Comfort and care for you
Learn to be lonely
Learn to be your one companion
Never dreamed out in the world
There are arms to hold you?
Jason walked back in to the room by the mirror on the far wall Jenny had her back to him, she was wearing his clothes and although he couldn't see her face he was so convinced the she had never looked more beautiful dressed even in something that was far too big for her, she was facing the draws brushing her hair, her singing was soft and sweet and calming and was pulling him in. as she continued:
You've always known
Your heart was on its own
So laugh in your loneliness
Child of the wilderness
Learn to be lonely
Learn how to love life that is lived alone
Learn to be lonely
life can be lived
life can be loved
Alone.
Jenny finished singing silently and put the brush down, this snapped Jason out of his half trance and he walked forward and put his hand on Jenny's shoulder, she screamed and whipped around
"Jason, Gosh I nearly jumped out of my skin"
"You're a little jumpy one aren't you, least you didn't have your bag in your hand this time" He winked and Jenny laughed and blushed. Seeing her face now he knew that she was more beautiful than the first time he had met her.
"You ready to do some more singing?" He watched as she blushed again. Jenny silently took him in, he was wearing black pants boots and a white shirt again, Jenny could feel herself blushing even more, she looked up in to his face which was smiling sweetly down at her as he put his hand around her waist and lead her out the door down the hall and in to a small rehearsal room. It had wooden floors. Mirrors and bars against the wall, this must be one of the ballet practice rooms, The windows were open letting the cool breeze in, and beside the window was a piano.
Jason led her over to the Piano and sat down ready to play.
"First we do some scares to warm up our voices" Jason played the notes and they warmed up together.
"Now we sing" Jason said "This one is for you and your love of the phantom" Jason smirked and began to play the introduction for phantom of the Opera:
Jenny came in on time:
Jenny:
In sleep he sang to me
in dreams he came
That voice which calls to me
and speaks my name
And do I dream again
for now I find
the phantom of the opera is there
Inside my mind
Jason:
Sing once again with me
Our strange duet
My power over you
Grows stronger yet
And though you turn from me
to glance behind
The Phantom of the opera is there
inside your mind
Jenny:
Those who have seen your face
Draw back in fear
I am the mask you wear
Jason:
it's me they hear
Both:
My/Your spirit and my/your voice
In one combined
The Phantom of the opera is there
inside my/your mind
Jason:
sing my angel of music..
Jenny:
He's there the Phantom of the Opera Jason:
sing for me
Jenny voice was falling to the strain of the high notes, She locks eyes with Jason and he looks back at her, it was as if he was giving her the strength to go higher as he sang:
Jason:
sing for me
Jenny sang on higher and stronger, really feeling the notes
Jason:
Sing My Angel of music...
Jenny kept singing, she shut her eyes, and felt the music surrounded her:
Jason:
SING FOR ME!
Jenny finished the highest note in the song strongly and perfectly in tune. Jason gave her a clap
"That was perfect Jen" He smiled. As the door was thrown open and Mr Andre walked in to the room followed by Anita. "Mr Andre what are you doing, I booked the room for today" Jason questioned politely as he stood up and walked over to them, leaving Jenny standing next to the piano.
"I received a note from OG" Mr Andre stated cryptically "He said that we had a new singer in our mist, that he has taken quite a liking too, he wishes for her to sing in the next opera, and after over hearing her myself I have to agree"
Jenny stared dumbstruck, they like my singing, they want me to preform in an opera, who is OG? Ohhh Opera Ghost, he is watching me... Jenny snapped out of her thoughts as My Andre came over to introduce himself, Anita Just stood there looking down upon Jenny as if she was a bug that needed squashing.
"I'm Mr Andre and I am the Manager of the Opera Populaire" He held out his hand for her to shake.
"Jenny Day, I'm Pleased to meet you, you have a beautiful Opera house"
"You're not from around here are you?"
"No I'm from Australia, Just here on Holiday, I leave in five more days" Jenny looked at Jason; he looked quite saddened by the news.
"No, you must stay my dear and preform in my Opera you would be perfect in the role of Christine" My Andre ignored Anita's cry in the back ground, he needed her to preform the Opera Ghost would not like it, if he didn't get this girl in the lead.
"I can't I am only here on a holiday visa, and my friends will be meeting Tara and I in England then"
"I can take care of the visa and flights, for when you decide to go home, you can get word to your friends, I can organise for them to stay too if they like, Just leave it to me, what do you say?"
Jenny was taken aback, he really wanted her to preform and he was willing to fix everything for her.
"Jenny please say yes" It was Jason speaking quietly his eyes were filled with hope and love and at that moment Jenny knew that she loved him too, she would go to the end of the earth if it meant staying with him, she was ready for the dark unknown waters of love. She loved him and it felt so good admitting it even if it was only to herself.
"How can I say no" Jenny replied weakly smiling at Jason
"Excellent, I will have a room prepared for you here, your room and board will be free and I'm sure Jason will be able to give you a run down. Rehearsals will start next week for the production of the Phantom of the Opera for which you will play Christine and you will be a knock out. I shall go and make all the arrangements now" Mr Andre ran out like a man possessed. Leaving Jenny, Jason and Anita standing there shocked.
"Well the next performance is going to be a flop with an unexperienced, un talented thing like you in the lead role" Anita Laughed Jenny felt like her heart had just been ripped out, and could feel tears coming on but held them back.
"Give it up Anita; you're just jealous that someone is better than you, and I would watch out if I were you, like Mr Andre said she has got the support of the Opera Ghost behind her, if you value your job you will leave her alone" Anita stared open mouthed at Jason before turning and strutting away.
"I really don't know what just happened" Jenny stared open mouthed at the door with the whole conversation playing back in her head.
