Mandrin Orange:Thanks for reviewing. I was begining to think that no one would.
Juliet woke up the next morning and was done getting ready to leave for Pairs. Dara came into her room "We are ready to go, Juliet. She grabed her bag and headed outside. Russel put her bag on top of the carrige. Juliet gave he mother a hug "Good lucky, my dear."
Juliet was about to enter the carrige when she heard someone running up behind her "Juliet, sorry I'm late." She turned around a faced Chirstopher "There is something I have to ask you before you leave." Then he slipped on her finger a ring. Juliet put her hand on his cheek and stoke it gentlely. Then she slapped him across the face. "How dare you? Sarah saw you yesterday, kissing another. I never been so insulted in my life." Chirstopher tried to speak but Juliet wouldn't let him "I thought you really loved me, but you slapped me across the face when you kissed her." She pulled of the ring and dropped it on the ground, then she entered the carrige. "Juliet wait, let me explain." he bagged. "Chirstoper, you do not need to explain. You broke my heart. What else is there to explain?" He looked in the at her sitting in the carrige "Russel, can we please go?" Russel nodded his head and they left Chirstoper in the dust.
Juliet burst into tear as Dara held her close. "He is not worth your tears." Juliet wiped her tear with her hands "How do I find a man like Russ." She ask with a weak chuckle. Dara smiled, remembering when the first met. "It just happens. Julie, you will find a man you will love more then life itself. Juliet smiled at her sister.
They rode for three hours before they reached Paris. Dara looked out the window "It has been a long time since I been." she looked at Juliet "I have not been here sinced we moved." said Juliet. "You have not. It has changed so much." She saw that Juliet wasn't to excited to be there. "Russ' sister is a ballarina at the Opera Populair. He is going to talk to her, to get you an audition." Juliet smiled "Thank you so much, Dara. You do not know how much this means to me."
The three of them enter the Opera Populair, Russel went ahead to the front desk "Excuse me. I am looking for Rachel LaBlanc." the desk manger stood up "I believe they are in rehersal for Hannibal. My I ask your relation withe Miss Rachel." Russel smiled "She is my younger sister." The man smiled, "I can bring you in and you can watch the rest of the rehersal, they are almost done." Russel nodded his head "Thank you, Monsieur." The man lead them to the the theater.
When the arrived there they sat down near the front, Russel spotted his sister and waved to her. The rehersal was intrupted by some men. Rachel ran off the stage to greet her brother "Russel, what a wonderful suprise." She hugged her brother. "It is so good to see you too, Rachel." He looked back at Dara and Juliet "I have a favor to ask of you." Rachel smiled "Anything, for my brother. What is it?" Juliet came at stood beside him "Could you get my sister-in-law an audition. To sing." Rachel face soften "Russ, you can not just come in here and audition. There are scheduled days for that." Russ gave his sister a sad look. "But I can try my best."
"Rachel." One of the other ballarina's called for her. "I have to go back, I will talk to Madame Giry." Russ gave her a hug "Thank you, Rachel." She went back and talked to her instructor, while the three sat there and waited till the rehersal was finished. The star of the show had a fit and started to walk out of the on the play, but the managers bagged her to stay and sing for them. Juliet listen to her sing and turning to her sister and whispered "I think I need something to plug my ears tonight. Dara laughed at her sisters coment. Then a backdrop fell on the diva and she walked out for good.
The managers were panicing because they had to clancel the play, due to no star for the show. The instuctor told them that a chours girl could sing the part. The managers finially gave in and let her sing. Everyone was drawned to her singing. "Well" said on of the manager "I think we found our star."
"Monsierur." Said a soft voice. The managers turned towards Rachel. "I have a friend here. She is only he for the weekend. She would like to audition for a singing role." One of the managers laughed "We have no time for this." Rachel did not give up
"Please, Monsieur. She traveled far to audition for you." The managers gave in again. "Alright, lets hear her sing." The there sittinf down quickly stood up and Dara lead her sister to the stage.
"Okay, Mademoiselle. Any song of your choice." Russel went and sat down at the piano and started playing. Juliet took a deep breath and started to sing
I drift away to a place
Another kind of life
Take away the pain
I create my paradise
Everything I've held
Has hit the wall
What used to be yours
Isn't yours at all
Falling apart, and all that I'm asking
Is a crime, am I overreacting
Oh, he's under my skin
Just give me something to get rid of him
I've got a reason now to bury this alive
Another little white lie
What you had didn't fit
Among the pretty things
But never fear, never fear
I now know where you've been
Braids have been un-tied
Ribbons fall away
Leave the consequence
But my tears you'll taste
Falling apart and all that I question
Is this a dream or is this my lesson
Oh, he's under my skin
Just give me something to get rid of him
I've got a reason now to bury this alive
Another little white lie
I don't believe I'll be alright
I don't believe I'll be okay
I don't believe how you throw me away
I do believe you didn't try
I do blame you for every lie
When I look in your soul, I don't see mine
Oh, he's under my skin
Just give me something to get rid of him
I've got a reason now to bury this alive
Another little white lie
Again everyone there was speechless. She turned to face the managers "That was beautiful, Madamoiselle." Juliet smiled "Thank you, Monsieur." She said softly. The manager realized that she wasn't looking directly at him. He wave his hand in front of her face, but her eyes did not move. She push his hand away gently "Yes, Monsieur. I am blind." Everyone was quiet for a few minutes. "Well, Madamoiselle. We will think about it and talk to you tonight. Thank you." Then he walked away.
Dara took Juliet's arm and started to walk back to the front of the building. "Hello," said yet another soft voice. "I am Chirstine Daae. I thought you sang beautifully, I really hope you come sing with us." Juliet smiled at the girl. "Thank you. I am Juliet Edward." Christine smiled "It is nice to meet you." Juliet then said as she walked away with Dara and Russel. "It was nice to meet you, too."
