Wow, I only got one review for my last chapter. I'm sorry if it really sucked, I know it wasn't the best. I really, really would like you guys to review. So when your done reading this chapter please review. Oh and Happy New Year!
Many many thanks to Romance-luver222 for all your reviews. I don't know if I would continue this fan-fic with out them. So thank you.
Ok I have to explain my new scene. Satine thinks that it is wonderful, but I am not sure the Duke will feel the same. If he doesn't I'll just have to rely on Satine to convince him.
CHRISTIAN: Now, this new scene is the scene where the Sitar Player writes a secret song for the Courtesan
I might as well tell the truth as to why I wrote it.
CHRISTIAN: So that whatever is happening, however bad things are…they remember their love.
It is quite funny watching her try not to smile. I can see the love in her eyes. Christian, stick to your work. We only have a couple more days.
CHRISTIAN: And, um…we could take it from your line, Satine. So, let's take it. Let's take it, if we may.
SATINE: We must be careful.
She is an amazing actress. If I didn't know her heart belonged to me I would feel some what jealous of the Argentinean.
ARGENTINEAN: Fear not. We will contact our love affair right under the Maharajah's.
Not again. I only hope that he does not pass out during the show. Harold is getting very annoyed with his sudden fainting
ZIDLER: Honestly, amigo, this is impossible!
SATINE: While our Sitar Player regains conciseness, why doesn't the writer help me get the melody for the song down, hmm?
Oh she is clever. It is not as though she needs to actually memorize the lines. This is just another reason for us to move into private.
ZIDLER: Brilliant idea Satine. All right, Christian start singing from the seasons part.
What, he wants me to sing here? Satine is nodding for me to start. I suppose I can if she is singing with me.
CHRISTIAN: SEASONS MAY CHANGE, WINTER TO SPRING
BUT I LOVE YOU UNTIL THE END OF TIME
Yesterday on the balcony was wonderful. She fell in love with this song and I fell in love with her all over again. We spent the whole day together, not worrying about anything.
CHRISTIAN: COME WHAT MAY
COME WHAT MAY
I WILL LOVE YOU UNTIL MY DYING DAY
I want to run up and kiss her right in front of everyone. I want to scream I love Satine in the Dukes face. But I know that I can't for her sake and mine. I must stay where I am and hold her with my song.
SATINE and CHRISTIAN: SUDDENLY THE WORLD SEEMS SUCH A PERFECT PLACE
It doesn't matter that the Duke is only a few feet behind me, or that he only wants Satine. Nothing matters because the world truly is perfect when she is singing with me.
SATINE and CHRISTIAN: SUDDENLY IT MOVES WITH SUCH A PERFECT GRACE
SUDDENLY MY LIFE DOESN'T SEEM SUCH WASTE
Everyone is staring at us. They all know the love that is strung between each line of this song. Suddenly I am a bit shy that they are all staring. Even the Argentinean who woke up is staring at us.
SATINE AND CHRISTIAN: IT ALL REVOLVES AROUND YOU
ZIDLER: Okay lets take a break and when we come back we'll use the actual cast.
Reality returns with Harold. He is afraid that Satine and I will do something stupid and the Duke will catch on. As I sit here and try to help Toulouse memorize his one line I cannot help but look at Satine. She is so beautiful as she fixes her lipstick. I want to go over to her and kiss it all off, but Zidler is watching us.
CHRISTIAN: Toulouse. So, the Magical Sitar Player falls from the roof—
TOULOUSE: Yes, yes, I know, I know, don't tell me…
Satine is smiling as Toulouse struggles. I feel her trying not to laugh as she sits down on the chair next to me. I nod trying to be patient.
TOULOUSE: The greatest thing you'll ever... Master...
What the hell?
CHRISTIAN: Toulouse
TOULOUSE: Make...
What does that have to do with the play? Satine is shaking with suppressed laughter, and it is very hard for me not to laugh as well.
CHRISTIAN: Toulouse
TOULOUSE: Contract.
That was it. Satine and I both let out the laughter we had held in. Toulouse looked frustrated at first but then began laughing along with us. I finally calm down enough to tell him his line.
CHRISTIAN: Toulouse... the Magical Sitar Player falls from the roof, and says "The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return.
My heart melted again as Satine gave me the sweetest smile at those words. So simple and true, but Toulouse cannot seem to remember them.
ZIDLER: Everyone back. Lets take it from the beginning of COME WHAT MAY.
Throughout the song I cannot help but sing along. Satine's eyes barely leave mine throughout the rehersal. She only looked at the Argentinean every once in a while. The rest of the time we are in a world of our own. A world with no Duke and no play. Just us.
ZIDLER: That's all for today. Lets get out of here a little early.
It is only one thirty. That gives Satine and me plenty of time to spent together. The song sounds amazing which means that we do not have to run lines. We can just be together. I quickly walk out of the room, hopefully without being noticed.
SATINE: I told the Duke that we are running lines, again.
I smile and kiss her neck as she walks in. We both become lost in our love and passion. Shit, the Duke just burst in. Luckily Satine and I could break away fast enough.
DUKE: A picnic, sweet lady?
Just great, she will have to go with him. Shit, I hope he doesn't see her lipstick all over my face. I don't know how subtly I can wipe it off.
SATINE: Oh, we have so much to do…so much work!
Why is handing me the basket? Does he expect to have their picnic here in this room?
DUKE: Well, if the young writer can carry a blanket and basket, I don't see why you both can't do it in my presence.
I am going with them. Well I guess Satine and I can make the best out of it. This will be a little odd though.
It is a beautiful day, and the setting sun makes Satine look like an angel. The Duke seems clueless to our love as we rehearse our secret song. He is to infatuated with pleasing Satine with the scenery.
DUKE: Writer, you can just put that basket over there.
SATINE: I'm sorry you had to carry that the whole way Christian. I'm sorry we had to come.
CHRISTIAN: Don't apologize. As long as I get to spend time with you I don't care what I'm doing. Just being with you is all I could want.
I would rather not be carrying a heavy basket, but if that is the cost for being with Satine, it is a price I am willing to pay. I can tell she still feels guilty.
CHRISTIAN: Sing with me, Satine.
The smile on her face is not one of her appeasing smiles. It is genuine and only for me.
SATINE and CHRISTIAN: SUDDENLY THE WORLD SEEMS SUCH A PERFECT PLACE DUKE: My dear, a little frog!
Satine pays no attention to the Duke, and she only has eyes for me. I feel a bit sorry for the frog because I have the feeling the Duke just squashed it.
SATINE and CHRISTIAN: SUDDENLY IT MOVES WITH SUCH A PERFECT GRACE
The rest of the afternoon went by in a blur. The next thing I knew Satine was walking towards the Elephant with the Duke and I was walking to my garret. I hope that she does not do anything with him. I know that I promised her I would not get jealous, but my heart still hurts when I see her with him. In only I few days I know that she will have to sleep with him, and I do not know how I will be able to deal with the pain. Somehow, for her, I will though.
If this is a confusing chapter I'm sorry. It was the hardest to right, and I took scenes from all over the movie and out them in this. I think it works, but it might not be very clear. Let me know what you think, and please, please review more than you did last time. Please. The third part will be up soon, I promise. Meanwhile review.
