I got back my nice sweet laptop. My baby is back! Sweet! Don't laugh. Okay for your joy the story shall continue….

It was not soon after that the new opera started and the customers where there to watch. It was not known that day that another mischief was going to happen. Everybody assumed things were going to stay normal without any problems. The music played and the curtains were closed.

Gregor took Box 5 while Star and Kwan waited for the opera to start. From behind the curtains awaited the performers.

"Go, go, go," one performer said quickly the stage help. Tucker opened the curtains, the play or opera about to start. It started well without any problems so far.

At Pauline's little corner her maid left a liquid that Pauline used. Danny switched it with his own once the maid left it alone. His eyes gleamed as he left.

On the stage, one of the singers (female):

They say that this youth has set my Lady's heart aflame!

Another singer/performer (male):
His Lordship, sure, would die of shock
His Lordship is a laughing-stock

Singer (female):
Should he suspect her, God protect her!

Both:
Shame! Shame! Shame!

From above the rack the fat man who drank a lot was there looking down as he moved the ropes from the scenes and props. Tucker eyed the man. He never trusted him but soon Tucker himself had to get to work.

Both:
This faithless lady's bound for HADES!
Shame! Shame!! Shame!

At the side Valeria had a quiet part where she used her dancing. Her part was a silent one. She didn't like it but she did not show it. She was the perfect performer.

Another set of curtains opened to show Pauline and Sam. Sam was the page boy, the silent scene. Through the fan that Pauline had to cover their faces, both had been glaring at each other, when the curtains opened that was not seen through the viewers except that a wife was having an affair according to the opera.

The fat man kept working until he felt a presence behind him. He saw a swish of cloak. He turned to follow it.

Pauline (she was had a huge $$ wig and a frilly pink dress that was huge from the waist down. Old fashioned):
Serafimo - your disguise is perfect.

Knock, Knock went one of the players on the bottom stage.
Who can this be?

Dash:
Gentle wife, admit your loving husband.

(Dash touched Valeria or pretended to touch Valeria in the butt as he entered the stage. Valeria played the shocked innocent maid well)

"That is what the people want to see," Star said to her husband. The fat man continued to follow the running/walking footsteps of an unknown person, Danny who hoping for it.

Dash:
My love - I am called to England on affairs of State,
And must leave you with your new maid.
Though I'd happily take the maid with me.

Dash left the stage:

Pauline:
The old fool's leaving!

At the top Danny watched and the shrill nose of Pauline was annoying him…greatly. He looked to see Sam and smiled. He was doing this for her, for himself, for fear. Jazz looked up to see the shadow of her brother at the rafters.

Pauline:
Serafimo - away with this pretence!
You cannot speak, but kiss me in my husband's absence!
Poor fool, he makes me laugh!
Haha, Haha...
Time I tried to get a better, better half!

Danny was not at the top of the ceiling walkway that looked out to the whole theater, now.

Other singers:
Poor fool, he doesn't know!
Hoho, Hoho...
If he knew the truth, he'd never, ever go!


"Did I not instruct that Box Five was to be kept empty?" Danny said out loud. The fat man in the rafters saw Danny at the top and stared. He was going to stop this madman, he was running his fun. Everybody in the opera gasped.

"He's here: the Phantom of the Opera ...," Valeria told the quiet Sam. Sam looked up wanting to see the Angel of Music but at the same time afraid for what she was feeling.


"It's him," Sam whispered but Pauline heard and faced Sam.
"Your part is silent, little toad!" Pauline said quickly to Sam and then she faced the audience smiling, like nothing had happened at all. Danny heard and grew angry. Nobody called Sam a toad, nobody.

"A toad, Madame? Perhaps it is you who are the toad," Danny said softly. He walked off from the top through a hidden door. The maid grabbed a spray bottle for Pauline for the throat. Pauline started again.

Pauline:
Serafimo, away with this pretence!
You cannot speak, but kiss me in my ...

Pauline started to croak and up at the top the fat drunk man was getting closer to Danny.

Pauline:
Poor fool, he makes me laugh -
Hahahahaha!


Croak, croak, croak, croak, croak, croak and the crowd started to laugh. Event the staff were laughing. From their own box, Star and Kwan went down to the stage. Pauline screamed and went off the stage. The curtains were closed thanks to Tucker because Star told him to.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we apologize, the performance will continue in ten minutes' time... when the role of the Countess will be played by Miss Manson," said Star quickly to the crowd as she pulled out Sam from behind the curtains. Then Kwan pushed her back into to get ready.
"Meanwhile, we'd like to give you the ballet from Act Three of tonight's opera," Kwan said afterwards. He waved at Mr. Lancer to start the music again at the bottom front stage. Lancer rushed his musicians.

Danny noticed the fat man from the top and knew the man was looking at him. From her room Sam held a rose that Danny had sent and looked at it.

At the rafter Danny caught the fat an and chased after him with no problems. He took a lasso out of his jacket and hung him from the top. Everybody screamed and gasped in fright while the fat man died slowly.
"Are you alright?" Gregor asked Sam as he entered the back of the stage.

"Raoul, we're not safe here," Sam told her friend as she grabbed him by the hand and made him go up in the roof. Gregor was her friend but she didn't want the Phantom to kill him. Damn, what is wrong with you angel, Sam thought to herself.
Outside the couple tried to relax the stage with Star saying, "Ladies and gentlemen, please remain in your seats. Do not panic. It was an accident ... simply an accident"
