The next day came around and it was perfect. The sun shone brightly on those who were anxiously waiting to enter Phantasma one last time before the season could end. Once the gates opened up, the large crowd poured inside and started going on their way. Everyone was there was in a great mood and began singing,
'It's the last day of the seasonand there ain't a single cloud.
What a day to leave the city on a spree!
Away from all the hustle and the bustle and the crowd,
On a little slice of heaven by the sea!It's the last day of the season to indulge,
Forget the factory and the scrum!
To be rested and relaxed and fancy free,
One day more then back to work!
To flee from all the bother and the hassle and the noise!'
A man held the hand of a young woman, 'With your lady…'
The lady giggled, 'And your fella…'
A young couple walked by pushing a carriage, 'And your kids and your umbrella!'
Everyone all joined in again,
'On a little slice of heaven by the sea!
The surf, the sand, the breeze, the food,
The peace and calm, the restful mood,
Amid the sea and spray, the city falls away.
The sun, the sea, the salty air,
The miles of beach with room to spare…'
Everyone started spreading out and pointing around to all the different things to see and do,
'And the pretzels!'
'And the custard!'
'And the girls!'
'The francs!'
'The mustard!'
'And the tanning!'
'And the lotion!'
'And the pier!'
'The beer!
'The ocean!
'And the oysters!'
'And the pickles!'
'And the knockers!'
'And the steamers!'
Everyone sighed happily,
'It's a little slice of heaven by the sea
What a treat to get awayfrom the frantic and the fray,
All the cluster and the fuss!
To this placid little beach, far beyond the city's reach,
And it's only for us…What a joy to convalesce, from the city's wild excess.
And forget it all like thus,
On this sheltered little slice, of a seaside paradise...
It's the last day of the season, so relax and have a beer
Hurry up, the summer's almost over...'
Everyone now walked wordlessly around, looking in wonder and amazement at everything Phantasma has to offer. Suddenly a large hot air balloon caught the attention of the crowd. It came closer and closer until it finally landed on the beach. The crowd gasped delightedly when the door to the basket opened and the trio of freaks hopped out in costume. Everyone began clapping happily.
Johnny spread his arms, "Ladies, gents!"
Carl pointed to a civilian, "You, good sir!"
Vanessa winked at another one, "And you my friend!"
All three giggled, 'Everyone…'
Carl smiled wide, "Time for fun!"
Johnny looked excitedly, "Here tonight…"
Carl pretended to be waving around a rope, "Reigning in the season's end."
Vanessa giggled, "Mr. F's last surprise…"
All three of them pointed to the direction of the theater, 'Starting soon upon our stage, a performance of the age!'
Johnny made an apple mysteriously appear in his hands, "Wonders and astonishments for your delectation."
Carl motioned around, "Marvelous automatons of his own creation."
Johnny made the apple disappear again, "Plus, a finale to sweep you away!"
All three announced loud and happily, 'Brought from Paris to perform, just one day! Come see the breathtaking Isabella Daae!'
Everyone cheered and rushed to get to the theater to get a seat. The theater house was packed within minutes of the announcement. Once everyone was seated, the three trio appeared on stage. A drum roll began sounding as Johnny stepped forward and raised his arms,
"Ladies and Gentlemen! Mr. F is pleased to present to you, his final surprise of the season!"
Carl stepped by his side and motioned to a poster of Isabella, "A command performance by Isabella Daae, the most heavenly diva of this, or any, age!"
Vanessa held a finger up, "But first for those of you whose taste is a little more earth bound…"
Johnny turned to the side and crossed his arms, "The sweet heart of the mid way!"
Carl raised his arms over his head, "The Ooh-La-La girl!"
Vanessa stood with a hand on her hip, "The incomparable!"
All three proclaimed loudly, "CANDACE GIRY!"
They ran offstage as the curtain opened, revealing the background that looked like the beach. A line of chorus girls, all in their bathing suits, stepped back to reveal Candace, fully dressed. She smiled happily and turned to the crowd singing,
'I took a little trip to Coney Island,
To get away from all the city sprawl,
I couldn't bare to choose which bathing suit to use.
So goodness me I guess I brought them all!
But when at last I got to Coney Island,
And found myself a spot upon the sand,
I noticed something strange, there was no place to change…'
The chorus girls gasped, "Uh oh!"
Candace spread her arms to all the girls, 'And so I asked my friends to lend a hand. Girls?'
All the girls ran over with towels and held them in front of Candace, so only her legs are showing. They giggled and sang, 'Ahhhh…'
Candace threw her blouse over the towels.
'Ooooooh…'
Then her skirt flew over as well.
'Bathing Beauty take a look at you!'
The girls dropped the towel, revealing Candace in her bathing suit. The girls lined up and began singing and dancing with her,
'Bathing Beauty on the beach,Bathing Beauty say hello!
What a cutie! What a peach! Bathing Beauty watch her go,
Hosing under her parasol she is what you call a real spectacle,
Prim and proper with class and poise
She's got the boys apoplectically.
Bathing beauty on the beach see her practically glow
Wearing a smile and giving Coney Island a bathing beauty of the show!
They grabbed the towels and held it in front of Candace again, 'Bathing beauty on the beach…'
They lowered them and Candace was in a new bathing suit, "STRIPES!"
The girls squealed and covered her back up again, 'Ohhhhhh! What a cutie! What a peach…'
They dropped the towels again, and Candace once again changed her bathing suit. She giggled, "SPOTS!"
The girls laughed, 'Ohhhhhh! Bathing beauty, bathing beauty…'
The towels went back up again and Candace's voice was heard, "Checks?"
The girls went down the line puzzled, "Checks! Checks? Checks! Checks? CHECKS!"
The towels dropped again and Candace just shrugged happily, "Oops!"
The girls ran around holding parasols, and opened them up,
'Bathing beauty on the beach see her practically glow!
Taking in sun and send the boys a-runnin'
Rollin' in clover and getting tan all over
Wearing a smile and giving Coney Island
A bathing beauty of the show!
Bathing beauty say...'
Candace waved and smiled wide, 'HELLO!'
They all posed as the music stopped and the crowd burst into loud applause. The girls bowed and walked out, leaving Candace to take her last bows. As she ran off the stage, Carl walked on the stage, clapping and shouting over the thunderous applause,
"Ladies and gentlemen Miss Candace Giry the Ooh-La-La Girl! In just a few moments Isabella Daae the world's most celebrated song bird will be making her American debut here at Phantasma! But first performing fits of fantastic muscular strengths the Mighty Johnny…"
Candace ran excitedly backstage, and grabbed her robe. As she tied it around her waist she ran off to look for her mother. She found Linda pacing nervously backstage and looking down at the ground. Candace ran to her and grabbed her arm, smiling widely at her,
'Mother did you watch, everything is sold!
Mother can't you tellthe new routine, it went so well
I was worried just a touch, that it might have been too much.
Just a bit, well, rather free!
But just listen to the crowd why they've never been so loud!
Screaming only for me.'
Linda sighed and looked at her sadly, "Candace-"
Candace didn't hear her and spread her arms happily,
'And the Master must have heard, every note and every word
Mother, tell me, did he see?'
Linda looked even more sad, "Candace stop it-"
Candace continued, 'Even he will now concede, I'm the only one he'll need…' she paused when she saw her mother's look and tilted her head, "Mom what's wrong?"
Linda sighed sadly, 'Candace, sweet fool, you did all that you could. Charming, bright and yet still not enough…'
Candace's looked turned somewhat panicked, "What? What do you mean?"
Linda looked at her frowning, 'How you dancedthey're all entranced. Yes all but the one whose entrancement we sought…'
Candace's eyes grew wide, "He wasn't there?"
Linda shook her head, 'Where poor girl, do you think that he was?Yes, that's right, in with her all along…'
Candace looked almost angry, "With Isabella?"
Linda nodded, 'Dreaming of their child, they're lovetoo smitten to give you one moment of thought-'
Candace spoke almost hysterically, "But you said-"
Linda turned away, 'All that you gave him, it's all been a waste-'
Candace blocked her ears, "You're wrong!"
'All that you've done it has all been erased-'
Candace screamed, "DON'T SAY THAT!"
Linda sighed, 'Now he has them,as for us…We have both been replaced…'
Candace buried her face in her hands and fell to her knees, "No!"
Le gasp~! What more could happen...? Guess we'll find out then :3
Thanks for reading, review?
