Next chapter is here finally. Sorry this took so long, but first I wasn't sure how to write this and then the holiday season sort of got in the way. This is the Come What May scene. I am going to do this in two parts, maybe even three. The first part is when Christian is singing to Satine in his garret. The second part will be the rehearsals and the picnic. Either the end of the second or the third chapterwill be the end of the song, and the Duke's displeasure at the ending. So here it goes, and if you get to confused let me know. Oh and I took some creative licence with this scene, and added my own flavor to it. Remember to review.

Special thanks to Romance-luver222 for the advice on this scene. Keep reviewing.

Oh and the saddest part of this note, the disclaimer: Sadly I do not own anything Moulin Rouge, cept for a wickedly awesome MR shirt.

All night, the Penniless Sitar Player had waited. And now, for the first time, he felt the cold stab of jealousy. That's exactly how I feel right now. I have to know where she really was last night. I have to know if she was with the Duke.

CHRISTIAN: Where were you last night?

SATINE: I told you, I was sick.

I can't tell if she is lying to me. If I look in her eyes I will be able to see the truth. Maybe she'll see that she need not lie to me.

CHRISTIAN: You don't have to lie to me.

She is refusing to look at me. I don't understand this. Something is wrong.

SATINE: We have to end it.

What? No.

SATINE: Everyone knows. Harold knows. Sooner or later, the Duke will find out, too.

I can feel my heart breaking at the thought of losing her. The Duke is such an ass he will never see the truth. Our love can survive around him.

SATINE: On opening night, I have to sleep with the Duke. And the jealousy will drive you mad.

Damn the Duke. Damn the Moulin Rouge. God dammit what are we going to do? I can't lose her now. We have come so far. I need some fresh air.

SATINE: Christian…

I don't care. I don't care about the Duke. We love each other and that will get us through this. I'll put a message in the play for her, to know I'll always love her. Always...

CHRISTIAN: Then, we'll write a song. And we'll put it in the show and no matter how bad things get, or whatever happens, whenever you hear it, or when you sing it, or whistle it, or it hum it…

I won't let her convince me otherwise. I love her. I love the taste of her, and the smell of her, and the presence of her. This song will keep us together.

CHRISTIAN: Oh, then you'll know, it'll mean…it'll mean that we love one another! I won't get jealous.

I can handle her sleeping with the Duke. I can handle it if I know that her heart belongs to me.

SATINE: Things don't work that way, Christian. We have to end it.

I know she is moving away so I can't see her heart. She always has to be so strong. But I know that I can win her back. Singing to herwon her over the first time, it can win her over again. I just have to sing what I feel.

CHRISTIAN: Never knew I could feel like this

Like I've never seen the sky before.

It's working. She tilts her head back and forth when she is fighting herself like she is doing now. She does not really want to leave me.

CHRISTIAN: Want to vanish inside your kiss

Everyday I love you more and more

I knew it would work. Her smile is so sad, and yet her eyes show the love she wants to suppress. My heart wants her forever, and I want her to understand that.

CHRISTIAN: Listen to my heart, can you hear it sing
Telling me to give you everything

I need to be near her. To feel the warmth of her body. She is trying to move away as I get near to her, but I hold her shoulders. She leans against me and the wall as I sing to her.

CHRISTIAN: Seasons may change, winter to spring
But I love you, until the end of time

I never want to let her go. I want to hold her and sing to her forever.

CHRISTIAN: Come what may

I have to look in her eyes. She does not hesitate as I turn her towards me and place my hands at her waste. I see a faint smile on her face, half clouded by the tears she won't let fall. I love her so much for trying to be so strong.

CHRISTIAN: Come what may
I will love you until my dying day

The moisture on my finger from her single tear is like a thread connecting our thoughts, souls, and hearts. I rub the tear on my lips, as I bend down to kiss her. She pulls away and begins singing with me.

BOTH: Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place

Her voice blends with mine, a perfect harmony. We sing together as she leads me back into my garret.

BOTH: Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace

Gracefully she unhooks my suspenders and unbuttons my shirt as I untie her robe.

BOTH: Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste

Both of our clothing is scattered on the floor as we move to the bed. We sing one last line of our "secret love song" before becoming lost in each other.

BOTH: It all revolves around you

My voice rings through the garret as I sing the rest of our song to Satine. While she slept I finished the song, writing with more determination then I ever before. Now as I lean against my dresser I desperately hoping she likes it.

CHRISTIAN: And there's no mountain too high, no river too wide
Sing out this song and I'll be there by your side

The feeling of her warm hand in mine as she pulls me down on the bed beside her sends chills up my spine. My bathrobe slips off as she pulls me, so I wrap my lower area in the sheets. Playfully I'm hold the paper with the rest of the song out of her reach. Her whining and laughing is sendingmy heart souring. Only when she pretends to pout do I hand over the paper, which she takes with a satisfied grin. Softy she is singing. I join her voice, remembering the words I wrote down.

BOTH: Storm clouds may gather and stars may go collide
But I love you, until the end of time

She is moving into my arms. With only the sheet between us I can do nothing but become lost in her embrace, but it is enough for me. To be lost in the woman I love's arms is all I need. I have to steady myself on the windowsill, because the rush of love I have for her as we sing is throwing me off balance.

BOTH: Come what may
Come what may
I will love you until my dying day

I know that we can hide from the Duke. I refuse to think about opening night. I will find a way to deal with my jealousy when that time comes. For now I have Satine and that is all I want.

BOTH: Oh come what may
Come what may

I will love you

I can't take it anymore. I'm laying on top of her. The only man who does not have to pay in order to be with the Sparkling Diamond is simle me. As I lay her down I hear her softly sing, from her heart, the paper forgotten on the edge of the bed.

BOTH: Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place

The world is a perfect place. This is where I belong. With Satine the world will always be perfect.

BOTH: Come what may
Come what may
I will love you until my dying day

The taste of her mouth on mine seems like the perfect ending to our song. It seals the bond between Satine and I. We will always love each other, and nothing will change that. We will love each other until the end of time.

That is the first part of Come What May. I used some of the scenes in Christian's garret thatare in the movieduring the song. I also added a lot of other stuff. So tell me what you think. Remember the more reviews I get the faster I'll write. And Happy Holidays.
