It was all a buzz before the show. Everyone was preparing. And oddly as it seems, there was a new manager for the Opera house. This one was strange, and scared everyone. Especially Madame Giry. However he was quite fond of Christine.
Manager: All right everyone, this is THE show before the Anniversary Ball.
So, promise you will do your best out there?
Stage crew, actors, basically everyone: (in a lazy 'I don't care'-ish voice) We
promise.
Manager: Christine may I speak to you/
Christine: Yes sir. (Out of the corner of her eye she could see a motionless body. A
man. In the costume of the prince in the play.)
Manager: The man who was to play opposite you is out sick. He couldn't breath
when I saw him. And he was speechless when I said I had a back-up and he could
go rest. Right now he most be sleeping like a baby with the angels.
Christine: (suddenly realizing this man might have murdered her opposite) Is he
alright!
Manager: Oh, he is fine! Don't worry about him. I just wanted to tell you that when
you lean in for the finale kiss, it wont be him so don't be frightened.
Christine however was frightened. But the show must go on.
A/N—Writers block over! But I have to go to bed now so yeah…….
