Author's Notes: I'm sorry, you have no idea how sorry. It has been so crazy these past few weeks, and i had so much trouble trying to write lately. and then i put it on hold to read Phantom of the Opera the original Novel. so all i can say is sorry again. though i have already started to work on the next chapter so hopefully you wont have to wait as long.

Thank you to my reviewers: word junky, theNightEnchantress, sarahbuggs and Maska

I don't own POTO, though i do own the sound track, movie and now the book. :)

Enjoy, please dont kill me...

Dear Michael,

My parents are still being unreasonable, how about after the curtain falls we just run away, leave the city… no I can't ask you to leave your job, your family and your life. .

It just seems so hopeless.

What do you think we should do?

Aurora

PS. I love you

Dear Aurora,

I think that idea has some merit; we could just transfer to another theater somewhere in another state. It would take a bit of planning but I have a friend who lives and works a few hours away in The Goldfield Theater, I will check it out.

I'll get back to you.

Leaving my family, friends and life I think your being overly dramatic (too much time spent in the theater), we can come back and visit often and they can come and visit us, it would work.

Michael

PS. I love you

PSS. Eat more, you have lost weight, I'm worried.

Dear Michael,

Ok, I promise I'll eat more, but if you were playing the role of angel daughter, and you were unhappy you wouldn't eat much either.

I am sorry about all this, you don't know how sorry.

Aurora

PS. I love you

Dear Aurora,

I'm not sorry, how can I be sorry when it led me to you?

I contacted my friend; they are going to make room for us at the theater, now we just have to worry about the small details. Like a place to stay and how we are going to get there, any ideas?

Because I can't say it to you in person I will now, your singing and acting has improved and you are embracing the role of Christine. And I love the outfits.

Michael

PS. I love you

Dear Michael

I can't believe we are actually going to do this, so the plan is to let the curtain fall then leave immediately to a waiting car, via Brett's parents. Who will drive us to your parents where we will use their car to drive to The Goldfield Theater dormitories. Where we will be staying till we get a place of our own? Do we get to share a room or are there separate spaces for guys and girls?

I am opening another account tomorrow and transferring most of my funds over, I still have a nice sum, which the theater pay will add to. So we wont have to wait too long to get a place of our own

Just make sure you pack all my stuff that was left at your place, I have to leave most of my stuff behind.

I can't believe we are actually going to do this.

Aurora

PS. I love you

Aurora,

Pack a small bag and make an excuse and put it in the back of your car we will get Brett to remove it and give it to his parents.

Only a week to go, I am excited about performing this particular musical.

Don't be nervous I know you are, you will be perfect.

Only two weeks till you are free, keep that in mind.

Michael

PS. I love you

Aurora smiled when she re read the letter before putting it in her hiding space and preparing to go to the theater for a full dress rehearsal to be given for the press. All the mains are going to be interviewed as well as official photos taken to be put in the paper and such. The production started in a week. Aurora was nervous, after all this was her first professional production.

Aurora spent the next hour, putting curlers in her hair and spraying it before putting a scarf on over it and grabbing her already packed bag and preparing to leave.

Today was going to be a busy day; they first have professional photos being done for the programs, at the same time as local reporters were going to be interviewing them and getting more photos and video footage. Then they were going to perform for the critics.

Walking past the Study her father calling her name stopped her.

"Yes dad?"

"I just wanted to say how happy we are that you have accepted what we want you to do, and we are looking forward to seeing the performance next Sunday" Alarm bells went off in Aurora's head, Sunday was the last performance, her parents were going to be there

"Thanks dad" Aurora said smiling weakly "Ill see you when I get back"

"Good Luck" Alexander said before going back to work.

Steve no longer had to accompany her, but she dared not approach Michael anyway, knowing her parents just because one threat was gone didn't mean there wasn't an another one out there waiting for her to mess up.

Aurora arrived at the Theater and was immediately sent to her dressing room which she shared with Sara, to get ready.

"I am starting to get nervous" Aurora admitted while applying some more foundation

"Don't worry I am right there with you" Sara laughed "If we are nervous now, I wonder what we will be like on the real opening night, this is only reporters.

"Don't jinx us" Aurora said touching the wooden table top, just in case.

The girls worked in silence for minutes; Aurora finally sat back and admired her make up. Theater make up, up close made her feel like a drag queen considering she wore minimal make up usually.

Sitting back she started taking the curlers out of her hair and spraying it before pinning it back in to place.

Then there was a knock at the door.

"Come on girls we are all waiting for you, its picture time" Michael called through the door"

Aurora smiled and stood up. Together with Sara they went on to the stage, which was set up for Hannibal. First they went through the scene and got some natural shots, and then some staged shots before moving on through each scene.

By the end of it Aurora was tired of smiling and changing costumes. Then she was called over to be interviewed, by the local TV Reporter. Her name was Stacy

"I'm Here at the Bensolight Theater, where The Power Green Corporation are preparing to perform The Phantom of the Opera. Here with me is Anna Davidson who is Playing Christine in the Production" Stacy turned to her "So Anna, is this your first production?"

"My first professional Production yes"

"So you have preformed before" Aurora laughed

"When I was in school, but it is something I have always wanted to do" Stacy smiled before continuing

"How is it working on such a large production with Christopher Powers?"

"Christopher is fantastic, he isn't afraid to let us give some ideas towards the production, and it has turned out fantastic, though I am probably biased"

"How is it working With Michael Black and Brett Stenner who play The Phantom and Raoul"

"Both Guys are fantastic, we get along really well"

"What about the rest of the cast?" Aurora instantly thought of Tyra.

"Everyone is just great"

Stacy finished the interview and thanked Aurora for her time. It would be showing later tonight.

Aurora went in to the studio to warm her voice up, she was then joined by Brett and Michael.

"If I ever see a another camera it will be too soon" Brett said as he laughed

Michael then pulled his digital camera out and took a photo of Brett, who was glaring.

Aurora laughed

"I just can't believe we will be on the news and in the paper" She said quietly "I know you two are used to it, but wow"

Michael smiled at her before taking a photo and putting the camera away.

They finished warming up and one of the stage hands called 5 minutes till curtain up.

Soon Aurora stood on the side of the stage, silently listening to the critics settle down as Christopher began his introduction.

Suddenly Aurora wasn't nervous anymore, suddenly she was excited. This is what she had been dreaming of doing since she was younger, and now this was her chance, this is what she wanted to do with her life.

No more hesitation, no more being afraid. She was going to do this. She was going to do what she wanted.

Sara gripped Aurora's arm as there was a round of applause, signaling that Christopher had finished his speech, the show had started.

The prologue began and the curtains went up. The Auctioneer began his lines, Aurora moved slightly so she could see the stage, Brett was on stage in his wheelchair wearing his top hat and a blanket. Then Aurora looked beyond him, she could see Michael standing on the other side of the stage in the wings.

Aurora blew him a kiss which he caught and put in his pocket, before giving her the thumbs up as the 'switch' was flicked and the overture began.

Aurora took a deep breathe before running out on to the stage.

Here we go…
