I do not own the Phantom of the Opera. I only own Tiffani and Lexi.

Story start

"She has no classical training," someone hissed and Tiffani heard it while dancing.

"You're just jealous she can dance better than you," another voice whispered and the voice reminded Tiffani of Meg Giry's voice from the movie.

"Enough," the man's voice from earlier said and Tiffani stopped dancing. "You dance well, what do you say Madame Giry?" the man said and then looked to a woman that looked almost exactly like Madame Giry from the movie. Tiffani looked at Madame Giry as well.

"You did well enough to be one of my dancers, but it will be hard work. You still must try out for the orchestra since we are low on some musicians," Madame Giry said strictly and Tiffani gave a nod.

"Thank you," Tiffani said before someone ran up to her holding a case.

"Your instrument," the boy holding the case said before running off after she took the case. She opened the case to see a beautiful wood clarinet sitting inside.

"Perfect," Tiffani whispered before quickly and correctly putting the instrument together and the reed into the mouthpiece. She took a seat in one of the chairs and she heard Lexi laugh at her. "I know I look funny, about to play a clarinet in a tutu and leotard," Tiffani muttered before a piece of music was set in front of her. She was asked if she had played the piece before and she shook her head.

"Good, you will play that piece while following the director's count," the man who has enjoyed giving orders so far said and Tiffani just nodded. She looked at Lexi and rolled her eyes before focusing on the director and the music. Her fingers fell into place for the beginning of the piece and Lexi crossed her fingers.

Tiffani followed the director and somehow played the music well before the man signaled for her to stop. "Thank you band director," she thought as all the years of being in band paid off.

"That's enough, you did well in both. However, we need you for the orchestra more than the dancing position. Do you find that acceptable?" the man asked as he walked towards Tiffani holding what looked to be a contract. "You will be given a room here and food. You will also receive money once a week that you may use for whatever else you need," the man said as he handed her the contract. She read over it before giving a small smile.

"This is acceptable," she said before signing her name. "What am I getting myself into?" she thought before packing away her clarinet and moving over to stand by Lexi. The orchestra director pulled her aside to discuss a few things such as her living quarters and practices when Lexi was motioned center stage to audition.

"Why do we need another singer? I am the best," Carlotta said affronted as she stuck her nose into the air. Lexi was wondering if all her hair and the headpiece on it would make her fall backwards as she tipped her head back.

"Dang, she didn't fall," Lexi thought as the man and some other man were assuring Carlotta that Lexi would just be a minor singer and never the star. "Rude much," Lexi thought and then looked at Tiffani, who looked ready to rip the tutu into shreds. "Surprised she isn't running around naked yet," she thought before focusing on the two men, who she guessed to be the owners of the opera house.

"Now sing whatever opera song you are comfortable with," one of the men said and she shrugged before singing the song that she had been singing before she and Tiffani appeared in the past. She was not the most talented singer in the world, but she was definitely better than Carlotta was. She was smirking on the inside as she sang and felt everyone staring at her.

"Bravo," Tiffani screamed and started clapping when Lexi stopped.

"She is nothing compared to me," Carlotta said and Tiffani glared at her.

"No, you're nothing compared to her. Do all of us a favor and put a sock in it, big bird," Tiffani shouted at Carlotta, who opened her mouth like a fish.

"What did you say to me you little tramp?" Carlotta yelled and Tiffani just smiled sweetly before setting down her clarinet case and taking off her tutu.

"I said shut your damn mouth," Tiffani said as she threw her tutu into Carlotta's face. "You're giving all of us a headache and your breath smells like the back end of a cow," she said with a smirk before noticing everyone staring at her for standing in only her leotard and tights. "Not like I'm naked," she muttered before grabbing some man's coat that was nearby.

Lexi looked at the two owners of the opera house and waited for their answer while Tiffani wrapped the coat around her form. "You will be one of the singers in the upcoming performance, but you will not be the lead," one of the owners said as the other nodded and Lexi just gave a small curtsey.

"Thank you," Lexi said before asking if she and Tiffani would be able to room together.

"I wish for my musicians to live together," the music director said and Madame Giry's eyebrows rose.

"All of the other musicians are men, unacceptable. She will stay with the new singer in a room together near the empty suite," Madame Giry insisted and the two friends wondered if they would be near the room where the Phantom is able to sneak in and out of the mirror.

"Must check that out later," Tiffani whispered as she approached Lexi from one side.

"No," Lexi whispered back but Tiffani just smiled.

"I'm going to investigate anyways, just need to find me a sword," Tiffani whispered before Madame Giry said that Meg would lead us to our room.

"This way," Meg said as two men appeared carrying some luggage, which the girls guessed, was theirs as the men followed behind them as they followed Meg.

"So when does practice for the new show start?" Lexi asked as they all walked up some stairs to the room they would be staying in for their work at the opera house.

"Tomorrow after breakfast," Meg answered happily and Tiffani frowned.

"What time is breakfast?" Tiffani asked slightly worried about the answer.

"Five in the morning," Meg answered in her same happy tone and Tiffani just groaned hid her face in Lexi's shoulder before they continued walking with a sulking Tiffani.

"Guess we should go to sleep early then," Lexi said with a pointed look to her friend who just rolled her eyes before giving an innocent expression with her head tilted to the side.

"I'll be good, at sneaking around," Tiffani said cutely before whispering the last part so only her ears could hear.

The group finally stopped at a doorway that Meg opened with a key connected to a chain, but she was holding another chain with a key attached in her other hand. "This will be your room," she said as she opened the door all the way and let the two friends step inside the room. Two comfortable beds sat in the middle of the room. The beds were not the most exquisite like the top ballerina or top soprano singer would have, but it would work for the friends.

"Thanks Meg," Lexi said as the men were leaving after placing the luggage inside the room. Tiffani was setting her clarinet case in one part of the room near the bed she claimed, which was close to the door. "Probably so she can sneak out of here easier," Lexi thought before focusing on Meg.

"You're welcome," Meg said before handing Lexi the two chains holding the room keys and then taking her leave politely. She shut the door behind her on the way out.

"Get me out of this leotard," Tiffani yelled when Lexi turned around and saw Tiffani struggling to get out of the leotard.

"Don't change without telling me so I can at least turn my back towards you so I won't see anything," Lexi yelled before turning her back towards her friend.

"We both have the same things," Tiffani said before cracking up in laughter when Lexi tossed a decorative pillow at her.
