AN: Time for me to update, I suppose. Here goes nothing, which is hopefully going to be the last difficult transition period. Oh yeah, yet another random Les Mis character shows up in this one…
Chapter 6: Lots and lots of rain!
We now rejoin Marius, wandering blindly through the tunnels beneath the operahouse, and of course, thinking of Cosette.
Marius: Sing once again with me
Our love duet
My memory of you
Grows stronger yet
And in this labyrinth
Where I am blind
Th- OOF!
You see, there was someone else wandering the labyrinth. Someone that Marius had just walked right into. Someone named…
Marius: 'Ponine! Are you alright?
Eponine: Don't you fret, Monsieur Marius
I don't feel any pain
A little fall of rain
Could hardly hurt me now
Marius: You're here, that's all I need to know
And you will keep me safe
And you will get me out
Before the Phantom finds us out!
Meanwhile, back with Les Amis…
Enjolras: How do we stand Feuilly, what's going on
Feuilly: We've found a new way in, but Marius is gone!
Enjolras: We cannot stay here for him
He'll just wait until he's found
Now it's time to go inside
No use just standing around!
Onward!
Inside, Erik is about to hang Raoul, as Christine looks on. They've begun to sing a farewell song, which just so happens to ALSO be A Little Fall of Rain.
Raoul: Just think of me and let it be
Remember me, comfort me
And don't you fret, ma chere Christine,
I don't feel any pain
A little fall of rain
Could hardly hurt me no—
Enjolras: Not so fast!
The rest of Les Amis come out of the shadows and stand behind him. High above, Marius and Eponine have watched the whole thing from a tunnel opening into the Phantom's lair. Dun dun dun…..
AN: I don't know what it is with A Little Fall of Rain in this chapter, but I think it works. Exciting stuff happens next!
