Hey so thanks for the reviews people. I knew you were anxious for another chapter so I spent my time writing this during some classes, and at home. Hmm. I don't own the Phantom Of The Opera, I do own Alicia and myself, literally no, figuratlively..yes because this is my story.

The girls just stood there…smiling. This was it, this was Christine's dressing room, the one and only. They had just come in through Christine's mirror.

"Look it's beautiful!" Alicia pointed to Christine's dresser. It was adorned with roses, all types of jewelry, and contained many sealed envelopes, most likely from admirers.

"I wonder if Christine will be back soon" said Alicia.

"That it, if THIS is Christine's dressing room" replied Mariam looking around.

"Why wouldn't it be?"

"Well, maybe we came in at a later or earlier time period, I would need to look at the people to tell." Mariam sighed as she looked at one of the roses.

Mariam like her mother, a historian, fascinated by most time periods, could name any event. She had been taught three languages as a child, and was now learning her favorite, French.

Suddenly the door opened and Madame Giry faced them. She looked at the girls suddenly aware that they were newcomers, by their clothing.

"Comment appellez-vous?" she asked

"Je m'appelle Mariam et elle s'appelle Alicia" Mariam quickly replied.

Madame Giry nodded and then noticed the opened mirror.

"Oh no!" she gasped.

"Did you girls come from here?" she asked her face full of worry and fear.

"Yes we did" Alicia said, startled by the sudden change in language.

"You must go back where you came from immediately!"

Mariam looked back at the mirror, a brick wall now behind it.

"We cant Madame, the passage way is shut."

"Oh Non." Madame Giry paced by the mirror for a couple of seconds. "No, there has to be a way back, we can't have this happening."

"So it happened before?" asked Alicia

Madame Giry looked down as she answered.

"Yes…20 years ago, when I first came to the Opera House."

Mariam looked at Alicia. "What year would that be Alicia?"

"1988."

Madame Giry grew a confused look.

"Never mind" Mariam suddenly said, remembering the different era.

"Well you girls simply must find a way, but for now….you can stay with me." Madame Giry gave them a faint smile.

"You'll need new clothes, jobs, and maybe a room to stay in at night."

Alicia and Mariam both nodded and proceeded to follow Madame Giry out of Christine's dressing room and into the fabulous world of the Opera Theatre.

"How cool is this?" Mariam spun around in her new pale white dress, a blue ribbon in the back.

"Amazing!" Alicia stood smiling in her own pale white dress, bearing a red ribbon instead.

They were in their new room. A dull small blue room with a dresser, a mirror, and 2 twin beds, one on each side. The girls stood in front of the mirror adoring their new Victorian look.

"It's peaceful here, is it not?" Mariam asked?

"Yeah it is." Alicia sat down on her bed.

Mariam sensed that Alicia was anxious. She quickly sat opposite of Alicia on her own bed.

"You're waiting, to see if he's here, aren't you?

"Oh Mariam! Of course! I can't wait." Alicia's cheeks became a fiery red as the glimmer of hope shown in her eyes.

"Well don't be too hopeful. He might end up hating us..you know him, heck he might not even be here."

"Well you do want to see if it's true right?" asked Alicia

Mariam blushed slightly. "Yes."

Alicia giggled a bit and Mariam followed. The girls were anxious it was pretty obvious. Every little step in the Opera House sent them on a wild look about for the "phantom."

At rehearsal the next day, the girls were assigned violin parts. Ever since the managers learned about their musical abilities, the girls picked up their instruments and started rehearsals right away.

Mariam sat down next to Alicia in the orchestra pit and sighed. She glanced over to the piano and kept her gaze on it.

"Why don't you just ask for a change?" Alicia recognized that look on Mariam's face.

In their school orchestra, on days off, Mariam would play the piano and was in the company of Alicia and Connor most of the time.

"Eh…I dunno, do you think they would let me?" she asked sheepishly.

Alicia nodded and urged Mariam to ask.

Mariam got up and stood in front of the managers. She coughed a bit too loudly when she saw they were turned around.

"Excuse me, monsieurs? May I request an instrumental change?"

The managers looked at each other and then back at Mariam.

"Well get on with it girl. What instrument would you prefer to play?" Andre rushed Mariam to get an answer.

"The piano" she quietly said.

"The piano you say? Hmmm..do you think you have to skills to play?"

Mariam got raged at this.

"Do I THINK?? I know I have skills." Mariam crossed her arms and stuck her nose in the air.

"Prove it" spat out one of the managers.

Mariam smiled and made her way over to the piano.

Alicia gave her a thumbs up and a big smile. Mariam nodded and looked at the ivory white keys.

What happened next made Mariam fill with passion and the managers in awe. Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven filled the air and caught the attention of many.

"Yes! Yes! Here's the part." Andre applauded and rushed up to Mariam to give her the music.

After rehearsal Alicia sat down next to Mariam on the piano and gave her a hug.

"Told you!" she gave a big smile.

"Very nice. Brava mademoiselle" a soft whisper rushed by.

Alicia shivered up and turned to Mariam who was also very tense and very alert.

Anyone could see it in their eyes, their anxiousness came back. Neither of them spoke for a couple of moments. They just sat there staring out into the opera seats.

"Did…you here that?" asked Alicia very quietly, almost in a whisper.

Mariam nodded and then got up immediately as if something has shocked her.

"Someone's moving in the seats." Her attention was now very directed to her right.

"What did you see?" Alicia quietly stood up and looked at where Mariam was now looking.

"Running and then nothing." Her eyes searched the seats in front of her.

Alicia smiled and shivered.

"Oh come on…it can't be." Mariam finally broker her gaze.

"You never know" said the anxious Alicia as she packed up her violin.

"Come on, lets go." Mariam waited for Alicia and then they headed out of the opera place and to the glorious dinner awaiting them in the kitchen.
