A/N: Yet again, I own nothing.
Sarah Wilkins **Fast forward a couple hours. Meg comes down into the lair looking for you just when I'm waking up** (Meg) Oh...didn't mean to disturb you...have you seen Christine? She's not in the dressing room...(Me) I think RAMIN phantom took her somewhere...(Meg) Okay thank you! *goes looking for you*
Christine Julia Destler *I wake up when I hear Meg calling for me* I here, Meg!
Sarah Wilkins *Meg bursts into your room* Where WERE you? Come on...*Takes your arm and pulls you to the dressing room*
Christine Julia Destler *I yawn* I fell asleep... *I follow her*
Sarah Wilkins *You reach the dressing room and Meg closes and locks the door before taking you over to the mirror/doorway*
Christine Julia Destler *Looks at the mirror/doorway* Why are we at the mirror?
Sarah Wilkins Because Carlotta doesn't know about this...*steps through and motions for you to do the same*
Christine Julia Destler *I nod and go through* So, you said that you had some ideas as to why she and Raoul did that?
Sarah Wilkins *Meg nods as she slides the door closed, leaving it open just a crack*
Sarah Wilkins **um...pan back to uh...GERRY phantom's lair for dramatic effect while I...I mean Meg...organizes her thoughts...** GERRY phantom sees that I'm awake and quickly hides what he was working on* Sleep well? *He smiles at me as I approach him. I nod, and we hug before he sits me down on his chair again.* I want to...apologize...for my distance. I...Carlotta...when I got up there...she had a miniature chandelier ready. Unlit, of course, but as soon as I reached her, it fell on me. That's not what bothered me, however. It was the fact that...in front of you...I was back at the fair all over again. And I was so helpless...*he sighs and takes both my hands* It made me realize how much I care about you...and how much I love you...*He kneels down on one knee and reaches into his pocket* Marry me? **Pan back to the mirror doorway**
Christine Julia Destler *I watch Meg, waiting for her to respond*
Sarah Wilkins *Meg bites her lip* It's...at least I THINK...it's about my mother...how she was the one who brought GERRY phantom here...how she sent a note of warning down to him about Raoul's plan...and Carlotta is just really annoyed with all us dancers...at least that's what I think. They were using GERRY phantom to get back at my mother.
Christine Julia Destler Oh, really? How awful! *Mumbles* That witch...
Sarah Wilkins *Meg nods* Now, how Raoul fell in love with HER, I could never tell you, because I have no idea. *gets a little nervous* We should head back now...before we're missed. But if anything, I miss having GERRY phantom around...he was always keeping an eye on things, and he would've never let it get this far...
Christine Julia Destler *I nod* Yes. *Looks at her and smiles a bit* I bet he wouldn't. But, I'm sure thing will get better.
Sarah Wilkins *Meg scoffs* Yeah, it'll get better when Carlotta is long gone...*looks a little guilty* That is...if she ever, you know, decides to move...*Just then I come running down the passageway toward you* CHRISTINE!
Christine Julia Destler *I look at you surprised* Yeah?
Sarah Wilkins I...he...*I burst into giggles and hold up my left hand, where a diamond ring is sitting* I'M GETTING MARRIED!
Christine Julia Destler *I squeal and hug you* OH MY GOSH! CONGRATUALTIONS!
Sarah Wilkins *I keep giggling* Thanks! *It's then I see Meg staring at us. She's a bit shocked, but she grins* (Meg) Congratulations! *she hugs me* (me) I'm not...interrupting anything am I?
Christine Julia Destler *Shakes head* You're not!
Sarah Wilkins *Meg starts to say something but changes her mind. We make our way back into the dressing room instead*
Christine Julia Destler *When we get in, I hug you again* Will I be the bridesmaid?
Sarah Wilkins Nope. *I wait for your reaction, trying to hold back a grin*
Christine Julia Destler *I look at you and pout* Well, WHY NOT?
Sarah Wilkins *I laugh* Cause you're gonna be my maid of honor, silly!
Christine Julia Destler *I smile and giggle* GOOD!
Sarah Wilkins *I turn to Meg* And you can be one of the bridesmaids...GERRY phantom wants to have the wedding HERE!
Christine Julia Destler *I look at Meg smiling, then to you* I have to tell RAMIN phantom! ...Where ever he is... *Runs off*
Sarah Wilkins *Meg and I look at each other, and she seems to be thinking about something* (Me) What is it? (Meg) I don't want to take away from your excitement...*I urge her to tell me, and so she repeats what she told you* (Me) Oh, Meg...if you want, I'll talk to GERRY phantom about it. He'll come up with something. (Meg) That would be good! Thank you! *We then hug and exit the room to find Madame Giry and join her for tea*
Christine Julia Destler *I tell RAMIN phantom what happened, and he comes rushing to you and hugs you* Oh, congratulations, Sarah!
Sarah Wilkins *I struggle to keep my balance* Thank you!
Christine Julia Destler *He laughs and lets you go* Sorry... *He sighs* When did this all happen?
Sarah Wilkins *I grin* Just now...*I start giggling out of complete excitement*
Christine Julia Destler *I chuckles* I'm so happy for you! *Squeezes your shoulder a bit*
Sarah Wilkins *Just then Madame Giry appears* THERE you are. Come on before the tea gets cold!
Christine Julia Destler *RAMIN phantom chuckles again and sits down* Yes ma'am.
Sarah Wilkins *I sit down as well, giggling while Madame Giry looks at me curiously. Finally Meg whispers to her what happened, and Madame Giry smiles* Congratulations to you both. It's about time GERRY phantom found someone who shared his love...*she smiles again with a sigh*
Christine Julia Destler *I smile a bit, and sit next to RAMIN phantom* Where IS GERRY phantom, anyways?
Sarah Wilkins *I smile* He's still in his lair...he's working on...something...he won't tell me what...
Christine Julia Destler *I giggle* I bet it's something for YOU! *Sips RAMIN phantom's tea by accident*
Sarah Wilkins *I take a bite of some pastry* That's what I'm thinking too...with his level of genius and talent, it could be anything though...
Christine Julia Destler *RAMIN phantom tries to take his tea back, but I softly/playfully hit his hand and drinks some more* Ah... But, I'm pretty sure it's a song for you.
Sarah Wilkins *I smile at you two* That could be...it's just driving me crazy!
Christine Julia Destler *I smile back, putting down the cup* Believe me, the wait will be worth it.
Sarah Wilkins I know it will, that's the thing! *I push my cup away, too excited to drink anymore*
Christine Julia Destler *I giggle and RAMIN phantom takes a sip from his cup before letting me drink some more*
Sarah Wilkins *I just sit there day dreaming, but then a thought hits me* Oh...Madame Giry...GERRY phantom wants the wedding here...can that be arranged? *Madame Giry thinks a bit* I don't see why not...although we'll have to take plenty of precautions...
Christine Julia Destler *I sip and watch you and Mme. Giry talk*
Sarah Wilkins *Meg finishes her tea and grins all of a sudden* Mama! We should take her shopping tomorrow!
Christine Julia Destler *I smile and nod* Yeah, totally! *Turns to you* We need to get you a wedding dress and all that stuff!
Sarah Wilkins *I grin and push my chair back* I just can't believe it...my dreams are finally coming true!
Christine Julia Destler *I smile* Oh, this is so amazing! *RAMIN phantom grins at my excitement*
Sarah Wilkins *I just start giggling hysterically, completely on 'Cloud 9', while the Giry's just watch me* (Madame Giry) For starters, we shouldn't make too much of a fuss about this...nothing that would catch Carlotta's eye... *I listen to her and nod, still completely lost in my excitement*
Christine Julia Destler *I look at Sarah* Heeelllooo? Earth to Saraaaah...
Sarah Wilkins *I still have a dreamy look on my face* Huh? (Meg) *shaking her head* She's hopeless...*giggles*
Christine Julia Destler *I giggle with her* Yeah, tell me about it! *Take RAMIN phantom's cup again and take a sip*
Sarah Wilkins *Madame Giry stands* If you'll excuse me, I should check on the other girls...*She and Meg leave the room*
Christine Julia Destler *I nod and RAMIN phantom and I stand up* (me) Alright, you... Time to get up... *RAMIN phantom helps you up and shakes you out of your trance*
Sarah Wilkins *I just smile and lean against the wall*
Christine Julia Destler *I giggle* Oh... You got it baad!
Sarah Wilkins (Me) I know...isn't it wonderful? hehehe
Christine Julia Destler Hehehe yes- It is! *RAMIN phantom grins again and puts and arm around me*
Sarah Wilkins *All of a sudden I hear my name being whispered from the wall behind me, and I jump forward and whirl around*
Christine Julia Destler *I look at you* Uh... Are you okay?
Sarah Wilkins *I shake off my startledness and grin, pointing to the wall* That voice which calls to me...and speaks my name...
Christine Julia Destler *I laugh* Oh... Your FIANCE is calling you!
Sarah Wilkins *I 'squee' at that and nod as GERRY phantom seems to appear out of nowhere.* (GERRY phantom) I see that you told them...*he raises an eyebrow at your grin*
Christine Julia Destler *RAMIN phantom and I both nod* (Me) Yeah! Congratulations! *I stand up and give him a little hug. RAMIN phantom also stands up, smirking* Yes... You're getting married. *Still smirking*
Sarah Wilkins *GERRY phantom is somewhat shocked at your sudden hug, but slowly returns it* Thank you...
Christine Julia Destler *I giggle* Oh, I couldn't be happier for you both! You'll be together forever!
Sarah Wilkins *GERRY phantom pulls away and wraps his arms around me* Yes we will...*we smile at each other* (Me) Oh...Madame Giry said we could have the wedding here, as long as we don't do anything that would get Carlotta's attention...*GERRY phantom nods at this and kisses my forehead*
Christine Julia Destler *I start sqeeing at this* Oh, I'm going to DIE at the cuteness! I'm going to my room! *Skips away and RAMIN phantom follows me*
Sarah Wilkins *GERRY phantom and I slowly walk toward one of his passageways* (Me) Before I forget...Meg was wondering something...*GERRY phantom stops and turns to face me, carefully nodding* (Me) I know you didn't really want to hear about it, but she's really worried...about you not being around to kind of...keep an eye on things...*GERRY phantom sighs* I was thinking about that. Do you think...Christine and RAMIN phantom would mind if we...move back here? We can always ask Madame Giry about them staying here as well...(Me) I don't know...we'll have to ask them...*I reach up and caress his face, and he kisses me before we go back down to the lair*
Christine Julia Destler *I get to my room and start giggling like an idiot about the whole thing. RAMIN phantom chuckles and tries to calm me down*
A/N: And now you know where the 'romance' part of the story comes in. Hehehe. More soon!
