Wow it only took me forever to update. I have been so busy and I had no chance to write. Well here it is. The next chapter. This one is during One Day I'll Fly Away. So read and review.

I listened to the celebration rage upstair as I sat at my type writer. I racked my brain for ideas for this story. Every thought that I had received earlier that night seemed to have vanished. They where all replaced with thoughts of Satine. I couldn't sit any more so I walked over to the window and stared across to the elephant.

CHRISTIAN: HOW WONDERFUL LIFE IS

Was she thinking about me?

CHRISTIAN: NOW YOU'RE IN THE WORLD

I swear that I can see her standing at her window, but it is probably my mind playing tricks on me. I should try to write once again.

SATINE: I FOLLOW THE NIGHT

Through the noise of the bohemians upstairs I can faintly here the voice of an angel. It is coming from far off, or maybe from somewhere deep inside of me.

SATINE: CAN'T STAND THE LIGHT
WHEN WILL I BEGIN TO LIVE AGAIN?

I move to the window and see Satine standing in hers again. Somehow I know that the voice belongs to her.

SATINE: ONE DAY I'LL FLY AWAY
LEAVE ALL THIS TO YESTERDAY
WHAT MORE COULD YOUR LOVE DO FOR ME?
WHEN WILL LOVE BE THROUGH WITH ME?

WHY LIVE LIFE FROM DREAM TO DREAM
AND DREAD THE DAY WHEN DREAMING ENDS?

Without realizing it I begin to sing the song I sang to her earlier that night. I barely know her but I am sure that I love her.

CHRISTIAN: HOW WONDERFUL LIFE IS
NOW YOU'RE IN THE WORLD

I practically run from my garret, letting my heart guide me. I swear that I left my brain behind in my garret and now all I have to go on is instinct. As I near the elephant I can here her voice growing louder.

SATINE: ONE DAY I'LL FLY AWAY
LEAVE ALL THIS TO YESTERDAY
WHY LIVE LIFE FROM DREAM TO DREAM

I see the rope that Toulouse left when he was here with the bohemians. It is still connected to the top of the elephants behind. I start climbing and hope that the rope will hold me. All the while I here her voice.

SATINE: AND DREAD THE DAY WHEN DREAMING ENDS?

The top is so close. I think I'm going to make it.

SATINE: ONE DAY I'LL FLY AWAY
FLY, FLY AWAY

I am hypnotized by her voice and beauty. As I give a small sigh she turns and sees me. I am afraid that I have startled her.

CHRISTIAN: Sorry! Sorry, I didn't mean…

Think of something to say Christian. Stop stuttering like a moron.

CHRISTIAN: I saw your light on, and I…I climbed up the…

Shut up, shut up, shut up!

SATINE: What?

Okay, calm down and just improvise.

CHRISTIAN: I couldn't sleep, and I want-I wanted to thank you for…helping me get the job.

Much better. I only sound like half a moron now.

SATINE: Oh! Of course…

She is at a loss for words as well. Maybe I'm not the only one nervous.

SATINE: Yes, Toulouse…Toulouse was right. You're…you're very talented.

That is the best compliment I have ever received. Even if I know thats he is just lying to be nice/

SATINE: It's going to be a wonderful show. Anyway, I'd better go, because we…uh, we both have a big day tomorrow.

No! I can't let her go yet. I have to know the truth.

CHRISTIAN: Wait! No, please, wait…

She stopped. At least I know she will listen to me.

CHRISTIAN: Before, when we were…

How do I say this without sounding childish or greedy?

CHRISTIAN: when we were…when you thought I was the Duke…

I just have to spit it out.

CHRISTIAN: you said that you loved me. An-and I wondered if

If it was a lie.

CHRISTIAN: …if—

SATINE: If it was just…an act?

She understands. She actually understands how I feel.

CHRISTIAN: Yes!

SATINE: Of course.

Oh. I guess I knew I wasn't goon enough for her. I just thought...

CHRISTIAN: Oh…it just felt…real.

She does at least look sorry. I guess she just has someone else.

SATINE: Christian…I'm a courtesan. I'm paid to make men believe what they want to believe. CHRISTIAN: Yes…

I guess I knew that she was to good for me.

CHRISTIAN: Silly of me to think that you could…fall in love with someone like me.

I can't believe how much of an idiot I have been.

SATINE: I can't fall in love with anyone.

Can't fall in love with anyone?

That's it. Everyone knows where this goes. So now just review and I will reply. I will update as soon as possible, I promise. Oh and I need ideas. I have no idea what scene to do next. I can't update until someone tells me what to write, so please and request send them in.
