Okay... here... Christine is in this chapter! Yay? This chapter is really short, so I'm going to try and post 12 today too. Again, thank you all for the reviews!

Danielle and Christine were sitting in Christine's dressing room, going through scales for Danielle. She was getting better with her voice, better than she was before, but Christine couldn't let her get too good, so she kept constant watch over regulating her voice. After all, the leading lady title of the Opera Populaire was hers anyway, and she didn't want that taken away from her.

However, when Christine would demonstrate for Danielle today, her voice would crack or squeal.

"Is something wrong?" Danielle would ask, puzzled at Christine actually singing like a turkey vulture this afternoon.

"What? I'm not thinking of them, no," she paused for a moment, realizing her mistake, "I'm just a little unfocused today. That's all."

"Well, what is making you so unfocused?"

"Nothing."

Alright… this convinced Danielle that something was wrong, so she got up and sat the Prima Donna on the fainting couch sternly. "What is wrong?"

Christine looked up at her. She didn't know what to say, no one had ever sat her down and talked about her problems with her before. What could she do? Lie whenever Danielle already knew that something was up? Or was she to tell the truth and let it all hang out like a flesh wound inflicted in battle? Either way, it was going to hurt.

"I'm just not ready to let them go yet."

"In order for me to help you, you have to tell me who 'they' are."

"Erik and Raoul. They've found others already… but I'm not ready to let them go yet."

'Oh no,' Danielle thought, 'my two best friends are interfering with Chrissy and her lovers. This can't be good.'

Christine sat there, looking down to her lap, twisting the skirts of her dress in her hands. She knew she had not chosen to be with neither Raoul nor Erik, but she still loved them both. She just couldn't have chosen. It was too confusing for her at that time. Now, a year and a half later, Raoul was falling in love with a woman who was not even slightly lady-like in the least. Erik was in love with a stubborn girl that could sing better than Christine ever could. And now Danielle was beginning to get more gifts and flowers than she was after each and every performance. Was she becoming jealous of the three women that have come from the future?

"I just don't know what to do about it, Danielle. What can I do? I can't control their feelings for one another. But I don't want them to love some one else. I don't know if I could cope with it."

Danielle let out a long sigh before sitting on the couch beside her, flipping her brown hair out of the way to talk. "Perhaps you need a vacation, a break, you know? Maybe you will find another lover that will help get your mind off of these things. Please do, I don't want a fight between you and my friends."

The truth was she wanted to see her friends be happy, with out interference. If Christine was there while her friends were flirting around with their lovers, she knew that happiness would not be the case, just anger and jealousy.

"You are a genius!" Christine exclaimed, jumping up to pack. "I'll go to Soho, and take a break from all of this. You can have my dressing room while I'm gone… oh, and take my place as the leading lady. I would trust the parts to no one but you."

"What? I can't take your place! You're Christine! THE Christine!" Danielle jumped up from her seat and tried to follow the diva out of the room, but the door was shut in her face. "Great! I'm stuck here… with the weight of leading roles on my shoulders!"

Aww! Chrissy is jealous. And Danielle's a genius! Wow! Never saw that comming, eh? Just kidding Will-o. I love you! So... Christine is gone.. this could be getting better! Geh... I dont like stupid christine... She's so oblivious to EVERYTHING. Geez! Anyway.Hope you all liked! Review! I'll give you... some... mask shaped cookies? How's that? I'm gonna go and make some of those now... I am brilliant.

Your loving author,
