Pauline set up and started to sing:
Think of me, think of me fondly,
When we've said goodbye.
Remember me once in a while—
Please promise me you'll try.
When you find that, once again, you long
To take your heart back and be free…..
Pauline screamed as a prop fell toward her. Danny was mad about how she looked at the dancers, including Sam. Everybody around Pauline also started to scream. Val knew what the following prop meant. She went toward Sam.
"It is the Phantom of the Opera," Val said to her friend.
"Are you all right?" Dash asked Pauline. Lancer looked up to see one of the staff at the top who had a large stomach.
"What were you thinking?" Lancer asked.
"It wasn't me! I wasn't even at my post," the fat man said back. Tuck was up at the rafters, he saw the small door close silently and knew Danny was gone.
"There is no one here, sir!" Tucker shouted. He would be having a talk to Danny about trying to kill Pauline. Sure, the girl was an idiot and her singing sucked but hurting was something else.
"It was probable a ghost," the fat man said evilly.
"Accidents do happen," Kwan said, he and Star came back to the stage. They wanted calm down Pauline since she was considered the best lead singer in opera.
"Yes, of course these things do happen but they always happen. Have you stopped them? No!" Pauline said back. Sam was smiling seeing the shallow witch go crazy.
"Amateurs," Lancer said to the new owners as he watched Pauline walk away. Now, they didn't have a lead singer.
"Sir, ma'am, good luck," Master told the new owners as he left, smiling wide and happy to be ride of the opera and its problems. Tucker had come down from the rafters and in his hand was a letter. He passed it to Jazz and walked away. Jazz went to the new owners before Masters left.
"Madam, sir, I have a letter from the opera ghost," Jazz said out loud as she opened the letter.
"Oh please," Vlad mumbled out, but the new owners still heard him.
Jazz rolled her eyes when she read the letter. She decided to paraphrase it. "He welcomes you to his opera house."
"His opera house?" Kwan interrupted. Jazz just looked at him like he was crazy.
"He commands that you are to leave box 5 empty for his use and he reminds you that his salary is due," Jazz finished, handing the paper to Star.
"Well, we have cancel the play anyways since we have lost our star," Star said back to Jazz as she tore up the letter Danny and written. Jazz stepped up again.
"Don't worry Sam Mason can sing it sir," Jazz said quickly. She knew that the prop falling was all Danny's plan.
"The chorus singer?" Kwan questioned. Tuck stepped in.
"Let her sing sir, she if very good," Tuck said, as he stood next to Jazz.
"She has been taking lessons from a good teacher," Jazz said afterwards.
"Who?" Kwan asked Sam.
"I don't know his name sir," Sam answered shyly.
The couple looked to Lancer and nodded their head. Tuck and Jazz pushed Sam up front to the stage. Lancer started the music.
Sam Manson:
Think of me, think of me fondly,
When we've said goodbye.
Remember me once in a while—
Please promise me you'll try.
When you find that, once again, you long
To take your heart back and be free—
If you ever find a moment,
Spare a thought for me
Soon Sam found herself in front of a group of rich class people, singing. Her heart was soaring. She thanked her Angel of Music countless times. Danny heard from below the cracks.
Sam Manson:
We never said our love was evergreen,
Or as unchanging as the sea---
But if you can still remember
Stop and think of me….
Think of all the things
We've shared and seen—
Don't think about the way things
Which might have been…
Think of me, think of me waking,
Silent and resigned.
Imagine me, trying too hard
To put you from my mind.
Recall those days
Look back on all those times,
Think of the things we'll never do—
There will never be a day,
When I won't think of you….
Jazz and Tuck watched understanding what Daniel saw in the girl. From box 5 Gregor watched with interest. Jazz saw him and went up to check. She was doing an older sister job.
"Can it be?' Gregor asked himself. "Can it be Sam? Bravo!" He walked quickly down to Sam, thinking if she still remembered him. He wanted to see her right after the show ended.
Sam Manson:
Flower fades,
The fruits of summer fade,
They have decisions, so do we
But please promise me, that sometimes
You will think of me!
Sam kept on singing with confidence. The Lees watched and liked the show. The opera filled with clapping, everybody stood up for Sam. She was smiling wide. A spy of Pauline was there and drank heavily before she left to tell Pauline the news. Pauline fainted. The show was over, everything was a success, and a small party celebrated in the back of the theater. Sam was not seen so Valeria went looking for her friend.
Sam was in the praying room. She looked at the picture of her father and she lit candles. Danny was there watching her.
