Ch. 3

Toni walked slowly into her small, 5th floor apartment, exhausted. Even though the cast had gotten that day off, Sirius decided he had wanted to go site seeing… meaning she had to go with him. 'I never want to see another Eiffel tower figurine ever again!' She thought, annoyed, as she removed the red Converse that were on her feet.

The two friends walked around Paris all day. Walking into practically every store… even if it wasn't something they would normally get… like baby clothes. At one store, Sirius had made Toni buy a pair of jeans that even if she were in 5" stilettos, they would still be dragging on the ground. "You can where them when your trying to look extra special!" He said talking in his mock gay voice. She rolled her eyes. "Your so stupid" But she ended up buying them, as well as 5 shirts, 2 other pairs of regularly length jeans and a couple pair of shoes…. And Sirius bought nothing.

Rubbing her feet, Toni laid down on her bed and closed her eyes. She was so tired and thanks to Sirius, she'll be sore tomorrow morning when she was supposed to go and do a lone rehearsal with Riley o' Donnel, a tall 21 year old Irish who played the Phantom. The only other person that was going to be at the rehearsal was Andrew, seeing as he knew the musical better than anyone, even though Toni insisted she knew it better.

Yawning, Toni lifted the covers off her bed and laid on her side and fell asleep. Not bothering to change into her pajamas.

Next Day: 8 o' clock in the morning.

Toni opened the door that lead into the small practice room where Andrew, Riley and herself were going to be spending most of their morning. Practically dragging her feet, she went over to where two chairs stood next to a small grand piano and sat down.

"I see someone stayed up last night." Riley called from behind her. She turned around, seeing the spiky blond hair tenor smiling with a cup of coffee in his right hand.

"Shut it Riley. If your going to blame anyone, blame Sirius… he's the one that dragged me through Paris all of yesterday! And don't give me that smirk… how can you be so happy this early in the morning?" She asked scrunching up her nose in distaste to her co-stars' peppiness.

"Oh but it is beautiful isn't it Toni!" Andrew yelled happily as he too entered the room. Toni only grumbled as she stood up, giving both Andrew a hug then Riley which she then stole his cup of coffee and taking a sip of it. "Hey!"

She smiled, "Mmm, just how I like it! Thank Ry!" Andrew only laughed as he sat down at the piano and started playing random keys. "So, ready to get started?" The two only nodded as they moved the chairs back so they could stand next to each other and sing right next to the piano. "Alright, very good. Now just for right now I only want singing, no acting. I want to worry about the way you to are handling these pieces alright?" The two nodded again. Andrew started at the keys which turned into the beginning of 'The Phantom of the Opera'.

"Christine:
In sleep he sang to me
in dreams he came
That voice which calls to me
and speaks my name

And do I dream again
for now I find
the phantom of the opera is there
Inside my mind

Phantom:
Sing once again with me
Our strange duet
My power over you
Grows stronger yet

And though you turn from me
to glance behind
The Phantom of the opera is there
inside your mind

Christine:
Those who have seen your face
Draw back in fear
I am the mask you wear

Phantom:
it's me they hear

Both:
My/Your spirit and your/my voice
In one combined
The Phantom of the opera is there/here
inside my/your mind

OFF STAGE VOICES:
the phantom of the opera

Christine:
he's there
the phantom of the opera

(Phantom)
Sing my Angel of Music

Christine Vocalizing until the end...

Phantom:
sing my angel"

Toni went higher

"Phantom:
sing for me"

Toni went higher trying her best not to crack

"Phantom:
Sing"

(Christine cont'd on a higher note)
Phantom:
Sing my angel

(Christine cont'd on a higher note)

Phantom:
SING FOR ME!

CHRISTINE ON HIGHER NOTE...
sing...
(higher note)
sing my angel...
(higher note)
sing for me...
on a higher note...ends

Phantom:
I have brought you
to the seat of sweet music's throne
to this kingdom where all must pay homage
to music

Music
you have come here
for one purpose and one alone
since the moment
I first heard you sing
I have needed you with me
to serve me to sing
for my music, my music."

That first time had been the last time they had been able sing through the whole song, because for the rest of the practice, Andrew broke in here and there correcting them, or they stopped because of a note the missed or their voice cracked.

Over all the practice seemed pretty good. It went on for another three hours until Andrew decided to call it a rap. It was time for lunch anyway. Andrew asked the two if they wanted to join him, Toni agreed but Riley had to decline the offer saying he had to meet someone else for lunch. "Well, I guess that leaves the two of us." Toni smiled as she walked next to the composer towards the small café they easily decided on.

"So, Toni how do you like being in the musical?" Andrew asked after they told their waiter what they had wanted.

Toni's eyes lit up. "Amazing! Its absolutely amazing. I don't know what possessed you to choose me but whatever it was… thank you." She hadn't been able to say the things before because of the busy scheduele she hadn't seen him all that much.

"Your welcome Toni. Its only been a privilege. But I need to talk to you on a serious note now. I wasn't the real person who actually chose you." Toni frowned confused. "What I mean is that… well… Erik chose you." Toni's blue eyes widend. Erik? Erik, Erik? Her Erik? Well maybe not her Erik but still!

"What are you talking about Andrew?" Her voice was shaking but she couldn't help it.

"I mean Erik saw your try out. He came to me straight away and practically demanded that I chose you. But it was then that I told him I was planning in doing that already. You see, I met Erik a long time ago when I first came to Paris, he hated me for the longest time… but afterwards I gained his trust and that's when he told me his story. He told me to turn it into a musical, and I did. He writes me letters telling me things that he thinks needs to be fixed… who needs to be replaced or what not… im telling you this because he wants you to take lessons from him. He already knows and sees your talent, but think of what you could do with his teachings! Think how much you could do! He's the one that has been leaving you the roses… though I bet you already knew that" He fell silent. Toni didn't know what to say.

" 'Antoinette'" So it had been him. But why me? She didn't say anything to Andrew for a long time until… "I'll do it." Why not? Its Erik! The Phantom of the Opera! This is what you want!
