Soon the stage a curtain rises to reveal an 18th century salon, a canopied bed center-stage, the drapes closed two figures shadows shown. Upon the other side of the stage were Zhang Liao but load of make up all over his face, along with Zhang He. Zhen Ji was dressed up as well, covered in make up as they did back in the 18th century along with Xing Cai next to them.
Zhen Ji- They say that this youth has set my Lady's heart aflame!
Zhang Liao- His Lordship surely would die of shock!
Zhang He- His Lordship is a laughing-stock!
Zhen Ji- Should he suspect her, God protect her!
All Three- Shame! Shame! Shame!
The canopy drapes part, as Diao Chan and Yue were visible. Diao was dressed as the countess as Yue was dressed as a maid. The two pretending to kiss passionately.

Dong Zhuo- Aside I suspect my young bride is untrue to me. I shall not leave, but shall hide over there to observe her looks to Chan Addio!
Diao Chan- Addio!
Both- Addio!

Chan/He/Liao/Ji – Poor fool, he doesn't know! Hoho, hoho, hoho, hoho! If he knew the truth, he'd never let it go!
Suddenly the chandelier started to blink as Sima Yi's voice came from nowhere.
Sima Yi- Did I not instruct that Box Five was to be kept empty!

Zhou Yu- Please…continue! whispered to Diao Chan
Diao Chan- Right…she clears her throat and continues Serabimbo, away with this pretence! You cannot speak, but kiss me in my croak
Sima Yi could be heard chuckling, a gasp came from Zhou Yu who stood at the head of the stage, as Diao Chan looked to Zhou Yu with a surprised look, but she continues on.
Diao Chan- Poor fool he makes me laugh, haha, haha, haha Croak, croak, croak
Sima Yi begun to laugh hysterically at the sight of the continuous croaking from Chan's lips, slowly fading into the shadows of the catwalks, the chandelier lights begun to blink on and off constantly, Sima Yi voice then overpowering letting out a great cry:
Sima Yi- Behold! She is singing to bring down the chandelier!
Diao Chan ran from the stage in tears, the curtains quietly drawing closed as Cao and Bei rushed off to the stage, both looking to be in fear and annoyed of the matter, as they try to settle the laughing crowd.
Cao Cao- Ladies and Gentlemen! The performance will continue in ten minutes' time! he looked to the Box Five then to the chandelier seeing it stopped blinking…when the role of Countess will be played by Miss Daae!
Cao reaches in the back of the curtain grabbing someone pulling them out hoping it was her, but no it was He, he smiled waving to the crow before Cao pushed him back and tried again becoming successful. Yue looked around fear struck, Cao noticed her boob was hanging out he blinked, but she pulled away quickly before he said anything.
Liu Bei- In the meantime, we shall be giving you the ballet from Act 3 of tonight's opera!
Zhou Yu- What?
Liu Bei- Maestro- the ballet…..NOW!
Zhou Yu jumps a bit, then flips through his notes, telling the symphony around him to do the same. Cao and Bei left the stage for the dancer to appear taking over, doing their number. Upon the catwalk Gan Ning was looking down releasing the backdrop for the scene, until he sharply looked behind and stood Sima Yi with eyes to kill. Gan Ning, of course being stubborn decided to tackle Sima Yi down, starting a brawl between them.

Yue Ying- looks to him Raoul I been there- to his world of unending night…To a world where the daylight dissolves into darkness…darkness…Raoul I've seen him! Can I ever forget that sight? Can I ever escape from that face? So distorted, deformed, it was hardly a face in the darkness…darkness… her eyes begun to look like she was in another trance But his voice filled my spirit with a strange new sound…In that night there was music in my mind…And through music my soul begun to soar! And I heard as I'd never heard before…
Zhao Yun- Just a dream of Michele Jackson and nothing more…
Yue Ying- Yet in his eyes all the sadness of the world…Those pleading eyes, which both threaten and adore…
Zhao Yun- move to comfort her Christine…Christine…
Sima Yi- a ghostly echo of Yun's words Christine…
Yue Ying- looks around What was that? she then looked to Yun , there eyes met for a moment.
Zhao Yun- No more talk of darkness, forget these wide-eyed fears. I'm here…nothing can harm you, my words will warm and calm you. Let me be your freedom, let daylight dry your tears, I'm here…with you beside you, to guard you and to guide you…
Yue Ying- Smiles softly to him Say you love me every walking moment, turn my head with talk of summertime…Say you need me with you, now and always…Promise me that all you say is true- that's all I ask of you…
Zhao Yun- Let me be your shelter, let me be your light. You're safe: No-one will find you, your fears are far behind you…
Yue Ying- All I want is freedom, a world with no more night…and you always beside me, to hold me and to hide me…
Zhao Yun- Then say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime. Let me lead you from your solitude…Say you need me with you here, beside you…Anywhere you go, let me go too- Yu-Christine…that's all I ask of you…blinks as he almost slipped for a moment

Yue Ying- You'll guard me, and you'll hide me…
With that they hurried off the stage, Sima Yi slowly emerged from behind one of the statues a look of sadness and disbelief upon his face.
Sima Yi-…I gave you my music…made your song take wing- and now, how you've repaid me, denied me, and betrayed me…He was bound to love you, when he heard you sing…Yu-Christine…Christine…blinks
A echo of Yue and Yun's voices repeating the chorus of the song they just sang. Siam Yi hearing it, his chest begun to heave and his body shook, a growl passed his lips as then cried out in anger.
Sima Yi- You will curse the day you did not do—all that the Phantom asked of you…!
The lights go dark as Sima's voice echoed you all over the stage as it was changed, the light returned showing Yue in her full Countess costume, along with other actors taking their bows, then Sima's maniacal laughter filled the auditorium, as he is seen above the stage rocking the Chandelier. The light upon it begun to flicker, as it fell before Yue's feet nearly knocking her over, and the lights going out darkening the auditorium.
