Jenny sat down in the middle of the floor still lost for words.

"I can't do it" she said finally, more admitting it to her self than to Jason

"Why not, My Angel" Jason came and sat on the ground next to her and taking her hand.

"Jason, back in Australia I work six days a week in a café, I am Just Jenny, I am another face in the crowd"

"All the more reason to stand out now" Jason said laughing, trying to lighten the mood.

"Jason I know nothing about singing, I don't even know how to act on a stage! I really can't do it" Jason put his arms around her and pulled her in to his lap

"I'll teach you everything" He whispered in her ear

"I- before she could even start saying no again Jason turned her face to him and kissed her soundly on the lips.

"Jenny, remember on the roof I told you to risk it! Is this you risking it because you suck at it?"

"Hey you said to risk it for love"

"Well risking it is a good philosophy for life, what makes this any different than love? You have the chance to get out there and do something that most people who lead everyday lives dream about, to be noticed. I know you can do it Jenny I believe in you, and obversely someone else does too"

Jenny didn't have to ask who the "someone else was" Jason really was presenting a good argument, True working in the café day after day she had dreamed of getting out there and doing something that people only dream about, so what was stopping her now? What would Mike think? What would he want her to do? Would he let her stay? Would he let her go? It's My LIFE!

"Your right this is a once in a life time chance and I can't let it pass me by, as long as the offer to teach me to act still stands?"

"It never sat down to begin with" Jason joked

"That was lame" Jenny said a smile gracing her features all the same

"But you liked it" Jason winked as he leaned in to kiss her again, when someone knocked on the door frame" Jenny blushed and looked towards the door A tall Blonde Man was leaning casually against the door frame:

"Sorry to interrupt but Mr Andre asked if I could just tell you that Jenny's? Room is ready" as he said it, the guy took a good look at Jenny.

"Thanks Jay, ohhh Jenny this is Jay as I understand it he plays Raoul in the next Opera" Jay nodded "This is Jenny she will be playing Christine now"

"Thank god" Jay said

"……" was all Jenny thought Jason on the other hand laughed, Jenny didn't see what was so funny

"Sorry that came out wrong, what I mean is Anita is a nightmare to work with, and it would have been dreadful to have to play her love interest again" Jenny laughed along with them.

"ohh ok, just asking but who plays the phantom?" Jason poked her in response

"Me"

"Well thanks for sharing" she teased" Jay coughed to let him know he was still there.

"Nice to meet you Jenny and I shall see you at rehearsals" say said and they bid him goodbye and he left.

"Lets go and get you moved in Jenny; I can meet Tara and help you explain"

"It does seem like the right thing to do now" They both go to their feet and walked out and back down to Jason's dressing room. Jenny got back in to her clothes from the night before after Jason ironed them for her, her black skirt and blue cal neck top and heals, she felt too dressed up for this time of day but still. She grabbed her back and they set off hand in hand for Jenny's Hotel a few blocks away.

When they walked in to the hotel room, they found it empty.

"Tara must have gone looking for me or something, looks like we just missed her" Jenny looked around the room nothing looked ovally different. "I'll just get my stuff together and we can wait for her, have a seat" Jenny walked around getting everything together while Jason watched from his seat on the end of Jenny's bed.

They had been there for about half an hour and Jenny had just finished getting changed in to a denim skirt and top. It took Jason's breathe away he got up and gave her a small kiss on the lips, just as the door opened and they both sprang apart as Tara, James and Mike walked in to the room.

"There you are Jenny" Tara walked forward and gave her friend a hug "who is this" she looked over at Jason

"Jason from the Opera Populaire" Jenny replied and watched as Tara brought her hand out to shake Jason's, but instead he brought it to his lips and kissed it. James rushed forward out of the doorway and brought his arms around Tara's waist.

"I'm James" He stuck out his hand "Please don't kiss it" he said to Jason as he shook it

"Wouldn't dream of it" Jason laughed. Mike was still at the door and everyone looking at him seemed to bring him out of his thoughts and he offered his hand to Jason:

"Mike"

"Nice to meet you" Jenny was staring at Mike and was a bit shocked but finally found her voice

"What are you guys doing here?" Jenny looked between them all

"Tara being sick, I was worried we diverted our trip to make sure she was ok, we can all leave for England tomorrow now seeing as we are all together" James said

"And you're all packed Jenny" Tara said taking note

"I'm not going to England" Jenny said portraying more confidence than she felt

"What?" Mike asked, he couldn't mask his shock and annoyance

"I'm staying here to preform in the Opera Populaire as a singer" Jenny said quietly under Mikes heavy gaze, she felt weak.

"No your coming to England with us" Mike said grabbing Jenny by her arms tightly leaving no room for argument, Jenny lowered her gaze to the floor He always wins out in the end. It was a nice dream while it lasted.
