Poor Fool, He Makes Me laugh
The music for tonight's opera began to play as Monsieur Mosquito led the orchestra perfectly as the antsy audience was excited about tonight's performance. Soon the big red curtains were drawn and the actors poured onto the stage. A young actress began to sing and act as she was dressed in light pink clothing and wore a white wig along with the other actors, and actresses who also had painted white faces.
"They say that this youth has set my Lady's heart aflame!"
A man then began to sing after her
"His Lordship, sure, would die of shock His Lordship is a laughing-stock!"
Meanwhile backstage a black gloved hand was seen removing Kim's bottle which improved her singing. The hand switched the bottle with another.
"Should he suspect her, God protect her! Shame! Shame! Shame!"
From above Hiro watched the switching of the bottles from his post
"This faithless lady's bound for HADES!" The two actors sang along with the actress as Tsubaki came on stage as she was dressed in a stripped maid's gown. She shook her finger and her head at the other actors as she played her silent role.
"Shame! Shame! Shame!"
They then left the stage as the curtains closed to change scenery and there Kim was dressed in a grand pink dress. She had diamonds on her neck and also had a big white wig which held flowers, and various jewels. Her face was covered by a small white fan as Maka had her hand around Kim's waist as her character pretended to kiss the countess. Kim then removed the fan as Maka gasped and Kim smiled.
Meanwhile upstairs Hiro frantically searched for the culprit who switched out the bottles.
"Serafimo - your disguise is perfect." Kim as the countess said as she fanned herself.
Soon a "Knock" was heard as Kim sang
"Who can this be?"
"Gentle wife, admit your loving husband." Ox sang as he came on stage. His face was painted white and was dressed in a light green suit. He pretended to smack Tsubaki's butt as she gasped and ran away.
"That's exactly something the public loves!" Justin said from a box right above the stage.
"My love - I am called to England on affairs of State, and must leave you with your new maid!" Ox sang as the audience laughed.
"Though I'd happily take the maid with me." Ox said as he winked towards the audience which continued to laugh.
"The old fool is leaving!" Kim said placing her fan next to her face as she spoke towards the audience.
Above the stage Soul looked upon the performance with a scowl, he opened his mouth to reveal some jagged teeth and walked away.
"Serafimo - away with this pretence!" Kim yelled as Maka then took off half of her costume to reveal blue pants her light brown hair was curled down her back and it moved along with her as she walked towards Kim.
"You cannot speak, but kiss me in my husband's absence!" Kim then held out her fan again and Maka leaned forwards and pretended to kiss Kim.
Poor fool, he makes me laugh!
From above Soul remained watching the performance as Kim made her way around the stage.
Haha,Haha...
"Time I tried to get a better better half!"
"Poor fool, he doesn't know!" Hoho, Hoho...
"If he knew the truth, he'd never, ever go!"
End
From above Soul's voice echoed through the opera house as he said "Did I not instruct that Box eight was to be kept empty?"
Everyone on stage gasped as the crowd turned around to see where the startling voice came from.
"He's here the Phantom of the Opera..." Tsubaki said frightened as she looked above her.
"It's him…" Maka said looking above
"Your part is silent, little toad!" Kim said crossing her arms and glaring at Maka.
"A toad, Madame? Perhaps it is you who are the toad..." Soul mumbled from his post above the stage.
"Serafimo, away with this pretence! You cannot speak, but kiss me in my..." Kim tried to sing higher but she ended up croaking the last bit of her lines. Everyone backstage watched in horror as she tried to sing. While the audience just laughed.
"Poor fool, he makes me laugh -Hahahahaha!?" Kim sang as she kept failing to hit the high notes. She then ran off stage as Stein and Justin ran towards the stage to see what was going on.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we apologize, the performance will continue in ten minutes' time..." Justin and Stein said as the curtains closed again.
"when the role of the Countess…" Stein said as he reached back into the curtain and grabbed Maka who was lost in what everyone was doing.
"Will be played by Miss Albarn!" Stein yelled as he brought out a shocked Maka.
The whole Opera house cheered as Stein pushed Maka back through the curtains to get dressed.
Kid watched the whole affair from box eight as he carefully watched Maka go out and then back in. He then sat back down in his chair, still alert as to what was happening.
"Meanwhile, we'd like to give you the ballet from Act Three of tonight's opera." Justin said as his voice cracked.
"What?!" Mosquito cried glaring at the two men on stage.
"Maestro, the ballet, bring, please!" Justin said mumbling the last two words.
"Thank you!" Stein yelled as he closed the curtains and walked behind them.
Then the ballet girls came out with sheep as they began their performance. They all smiled and began to pull out props.
Meanwhile Madam Marie and Maka were in the dressing room as Maka picked up the rose that Soul had given her and looked at it with a sad frown.
Little did anyone know that above the stage Hiro was running from the Phantom as he tried to not get caught.
The ballet music only got faster and faster to Hiro as he kept running away from the Phantom.
Then all of a sudden down into the middle of the ballet dance Hiro's body landed hung on a long noose by Soul. A couple of the ballet girls screamed and the crowd began ti stand up and scream as well as the realization of the body became known.
Kid got up from his place and ran to find Maka backstage who eventually ran into him. She was now wearing a green cloak and grabbed his arms.
"Kid! We're not safe here."
"Ladies and gentlemen, please remain in your seats!" Justin and Stein yelled from their seats "Do not panic. It was an accident... simply an accident!"
"Why have you brought us here?!" Kid said as he let Maka guide him up the curved stairs behind the stage.
"Don't take me back there!" Maka said through long breaths as she started to go up the stairs faster.
"We must return!" Kid said sternly as he hurried to keep up with the frightened girl
"He'll kill you Kid!" Maka said now through tears.
"His eyes will find us there!"
"Maka, don't say that!" Kid said sternly
"Those red eyes that burn!"
"Don't even think it Maka!"
"And if he has to kill a thousand men."
"Forget this waking nightmare!" Kid said trying to grab Maka's hand to lead her back.
"Soul The Phantom of the Opera will kill...Again!" Maka said running towards more stairs.
"This phantom is a fable." Kid followed her up the next flight of stairs
"There is no Phantom of the Opera Maka."
"My God, who is this man..." Maka cried as her fingers shook holding onto the railing of the stairs.
"...who hunts to kill...?"
"...this mask of death...?" Kid followed Maka around each corner and curve until he no longer knew where they were.
"I can't escape from him...I never will!"
"Whose is this voice you hear...?
"And in this labyrinth, where night is blind the Phantom of the Opera is here inside your/my mind..." Maka and Kid sang as they came up one last flight of stairs. Onto the roof of the Opera House.
"There is no Phantom of the Opera..." Kid said shaking his head.
"Kid, I've been there to his world of unending night... To a world with the daylight dissolves into darkness... darkness... Kid, I've seen him! Can I ever forget that sight? Can I ever escape from that face? So distorted, deformed, it was hardly a face in that darkness..." Maka said walking towards Kid. She was holding the rose that Soul had given her as she sadly looked out into the snow covered city around her. She then looked at the rose in her hand and began to smile again.
"But his voice filled my spirit with a strange, sweet sound... In that night there was music in my mind... And through music my soul began to soar! And I heard as I'd never heard before..." Maka then looked out of the city as if she was no longer in Kid's presence.
"What you heard was a dream and nothing more..." Kid sang as he walked towards her again.
"Yet in his eyes all the sadness of the world...Those pleading red eyes, that both threaten and adore..." Maka sang as she looked towards the ground in sadness.
Little did the two know was that Soul had hidden himself behind a horse statue up upon the roof and was listening to them talk.
"Maka...Maka" Kid said as he sighed and walked towards Maka who had tears in her eyes.
"Maka…." Maka heard the Phantom's voice as she looked around and started heavily breathing.
All I Ask of You
Kid then came up behind her and hugged her as she turned around to face him. He then led her across the roof as Maka dropped the rose she was holding and followed Kid as she looked into his golden eyes. He softly smiled at her as he looked into her soft green eyes.
"No more talk of darkness, forget these wide-eyed fears. I'm here, nothing can harm you, my words will warm and calm you. Let me be your freedom, let daylight dry your tears. I'm here with you, beside you to guard you and to guide you..."
"Say you love me every waking moment, turn my head with talk of summertime...Say you need me with you now and always... Promise me that all you say is true that's all I ask of you..." Maka sang softly as Kid smiled and ran his thumb against her face.
From behind the horse statue Soul peered out cautiously, his dark red eyes lowering to the ground in sadness as he watched the two get closer.
"Let me be your shelter, let me be your light. You're safe No one will find you. Your fears are far behind you..." Kid sang as he led Maka farther towards the door which led back into the opera house.
"All I want is freedom, a world with no more night... and you, always beside me, to hold me and to hide me..." Maka sang as she stepped away from Kid and then turned around to smile at him.
"Then say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime. Let me lead you from your solitude... Say you need me with you here, beside you..." Kid sang as he grabbed Maka's hands and pulled her to rest against him.
"Anywhere you go, let me go too Maka, that's all I ask of you..."
"Say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime...say the word and I will follow you..." Maka sang smiling as she turned around to face the dark haired boy.
"Share each day with me, each night, each morning..." They both sang as they smiled at one another.
"Say you love me…" Maka sang staring into Kid's golden eyes again.
"You know I do..." Kid sang as he gave Maka a soft smile.
"Love me - that's all I ask of you..." They both sang as Kid went down and Kissed Maka on the lips as he grabbed her and twirled her around. They both broke the kiss t smile at each other and then Kid set Maka down and kissed her again.
"Anywhere you go let me go too...!" They both sang as Maka had her hands around his shoulders.
"Love me - that's all I ask of you..." They sang before Maka looked into his eyes one more time and leaned in to kiss him again.
"I must go; they'll wonder where I am come with me, Kid." Maka said taking his hand in hers.
"Maka, I love you" He said looking into her green eyes.
Maka smiled and began to lead him back into the opera house. "Order your fine horses! Be with them at the door!"
"And soon you'll be beside me!" Kid sang happily.
"You'll guard me, and you'll guide me..." Maka sang opening the door as they both walked in.
All I Ask of You end/Reprise beginning
As they left Soul emerged from behind the statue and sadly began to pick up the rose Maka had dropped.
"I gave you my music...made your song take wing... and now how you've repaid me denied me and betrayed me…He was bound to love you when he heard you sing..." Soul looked towards the door where Maka and Kid had just been and began to cry as he brought the rose to his face.
"Maka..." He said sadly as he began to smother the rose. From afar he could still hear the two singing their duet and began to look away from the rose.
Say you'll share with me one love; one lifetime...say the word and I will follow you... Share each day with me each night, each morning...
Soul began to breathe heavily as the snow around him started to pile up on his dark cloak. He then began to tear up the rose he had given to Maka and ran towards the edge of the roof.
"You will curse the day you did not do all that the Phantom asked of you...!" He said angrily as he stood on a statue.
Reprise end
