(Christine's P.O.V.)
I smiled as I left the stage. Jemma stood with the other girls that had just woken up. I however, made my way to the grand foyer.
Once I was at the top of the steps, I smiled. I saw monsieur Firmin and Andre entered the Opera house. Firmin was holding a newspaper. Then he folded it and tucked it under his arm.
"Monsieur!" I shouted. I ran down the great steps.
"Mademoiselle Daae!" He frowned as I approached him. "Why are you not practicing?"
"Oh Firmin, I just HAD to ask you something!" I smiled and stood in front of him.
"Christine Daae, what else can you ask from us?" Andre but in. I looked between them both. "You have already landed the lead role in Hannibal."
"Yes yes. I do understand that. But I was wondering if by any chance what so ever you would he holding auditions for Faust?" I rocked back and forth on my heels.
"No no no!" Firmin strictly said.
"Absolutely not!" Andre cut in again.
"Why?" I put my hands on my hips and stood still as I put on my straight face.
"Why?" Andre mocked. He then let out a roaring laugh.
"Because our little flower;" he spat out a nick name I had earned. It wasn't meant to be a good nick name. More of a mock. ";can not have the world!" Firmin mocked, getting all in my face.
"I never said I wanted the world." I said through clenched teeth. I stomped the ground. "I merely asked for you to hold open auditions for Faust!"
The men backed up and then let their shoulders droop. Firmin let his head drop into his left hand. "With all do respect miss Daae, we are not holding auditions because there is no need. Someone has already landed the role." He mumbled.
"Let me guess;" I started. "The role has already been given up to-" I was cut short.
"Carlotta! Welcome back!" Andre gushed to the walking pineapple.
"Carlotta. Of course..." I mumbled into my palm.
"Yes yes. Now out of my way!" I heard Carlotta's wretched voice get closer to me. "Well well well. What do we have here? It looks like our little toad decided to hop off of her lily pad!" Carlotta spat in my face.
I moved my palm. "Carlotta..." I clicked my tongue.
"Please!" Carlotta pleaded. Age covered her ears. "Keep my name out of your mouth! Who knows where it has been!?" There were a few snickers from behind Carlotta.
"At least I'm getting some you evil woman!" I sung. Carlotta gasped and brought a hand to my face. I looked at her and saw a smiling face. I held my stinging cheek.
"No go! Move along and go practice with the other ballet rats and chorus toads!" Carlotta leaned down and spat on my shoe. I winced and shook it off. I turned around and walked up the steps.
"Time for plan 'B' " I muttered ever so quietly.
I kneeled over and 'fell' to the ground. "Ow!" I let out a howl of pain.
""Miss Daae!" Andre's shaking voice shouted. A few pairs of footsteps neared me. I held my ankle on the marble platform and forced fake tears out of my eyes.
"It hurts!" I cried. Firmin bent down next to me on my right side and Andre on my left.
"Christine! What in heaven's earth happened!?" Firmin tried to touch my ankle and when he did I pulled away and let out a sob.
"I...I was ever so hurt by your words that I just slipped!" I cradled my ankle as Andre and Firmin helped me sit up and lean against the wall.
"Miss Daae! We were only being honest and speaking the plain truth!" Andre tried to pry my hands from my ankle but I wouldn't let loose.
"Yes." I frowned and then began to speak through a fit of fake tears. "But you see, my friend...she only wanted this. She is a singer as well and wished for the lead. She has been working ever so hard. And so have I and many others. I feel you should at least take a moment and...and see that others have hidden talent. Not just me!" I cried some more.
Andre tossed his hands into the air. "Great! This 'Angel of Music' not only tutors you, but the rest of the opera house!" I was about to laugh but managed to gold it in.
"Do not talk about my angel in that matter! My friend and many others are simply multi-talented!" I let out another sob of pain.
"Well we are not giving in this time! Oh no!" Firmin wagged a finger in my tear stained face.
"I...I can sue you!"
The backed up a bit, their faces struck with shock. "You wouldn't." Firmin jokingly said.
I shook my head. "B-but I would. After all, it is your fault that I had fallen!"
Andre laughed. "Please do explain that one!"
I smiled a small smile. "Well, I do have this slap mark on my face." I turned to give them a good look at my face. The winced as if they felt my pain. "And I could easily say that the monsieur...Firmin got over heated, ran up to me, slapped me and then I tripped."
The managers stood up. "How dare you! You are a toad! The senora was right!" Andre shouted.
"A lying toad!" Firmin added.
Once my tears had all fallen, I smirked. "Who do you think the judge would be mist likely to believe? A fairly well liked singer with adoring fans, or 2 former junk yard owners?"
They looked at each other and folded their arms. "Scrap metal..." I heard Andre mutter under his deep breathing.
Finally the look of sour defeat crossed Firmin's face. "Oh fine! If you promise not to sue, we will have open auditions for each role!"
I smiled a slight smile, remembering that I was still in character. I looked over at Carlotta for a second and she looked outraged!
"This is madness!" She shouted. "The part is already mine!"
Firmin turned to 'her majesty'. "Well the part will forever be yours. So long as you pass auditions!" Then he turned and walked away. Andre followed after him.
I smirked at Carlotta who's jaw was still on the ground. "Ta ta!" I waved goodbye and hopped up. I brushed my bottom off for any dust and then skipped away. I could just feel Carlotta's intense glare.
I let out a small laugh as I skipped. "That was such an easy game to be played!
