Margaret closed her eyes. She knew he was right. Smiling she held onto his cape. "I always wanted to be in a theater, now I am. And to top it of, i am with a man who loves me." She sighed sadly. "Now I wish that my dram of being an Opera singer can be easliy done. But with Raoul here, that may not happen. He hates it when I sing." She wasn't really aware of her surroundings before as she remembered all the times Raoul slowly destroied her selfestem when she tried to sing.

The Phantom watched her closely, but looked around the room. "I will help you in that area. You will be the next greatest opera singer. The audience loved Christine... but, they will adore you. Don't let Raoul get in the way of that." He told her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Christine remained in the theatre room. She wasn't going to leave anytime soon, since Raoul was being the biggest jerk in all of France. (It was in France, right?)

((Yep its in France.))

Margaret looked at the Phantom. "Really?" She was speechless. "That would be wonderful." She placed her hand on his face, the side with out the mask. "What have I ever done to deserve you?" she asked. "She didn't." She added, meaning Christine. Christine could have told Raoul 'no', that she loved Erik. But she choose Margaret's brother, who could've had any other woman, and left Erik to be alone.

The Phantom sighed and looked down to the ground, at the mention of Christine. He shook his head and cleared his throat. "Let's just forget about Christine and Raoul... everyone. Let's just focus on what's important. Us and your career."

Margaret smiled. Then with a confused look, that could be considered Cute, she asked. "How could you help my career?" Although she knew how he might and was correct when she saw him take out a letter. ((You can decide what the letter says.))

((I was thinking that I might end up having Raoul locking Margaret on the roof, causing her to get sick. When would it be a good time to do it?))

((Umm... after Raoul sees her on stage singing in front of people for the first time.))

The Phantom showed her the letter and smiled. "It's a letter for the owners. I'll tell them to let you on, just for a first chance. But, after they hear you... they'll want you on more."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
((I'm making my own song, for this part...))

Christine started crying silently, as she continued walking around the top of the building. Where her and Raoul first shared their true feelings for each other.

~My dear
Why must you do this to me?
Why can't you just let her be?
All I ask for is trust and love...

Don't crush her dreams
The Phantom is more than he seems
He is a kind and gentle man
Who will do anything he can
For his love.

For his love...~

((Thats a good idea.))

Margaret smiled at the phantom. His love truly didn't know any bounds. "I trust you Erik." She smiled, somrthing she was doing alot lately.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The managers went into the theater looking for Christine, Raoul, or at least his sister. Upon entering, they found no one there. But soon Christine came down from the roof, and Madame Giry entered too. "We have an anouncement." Andre declaired, and looked to Farmin to finish. "One week from tomorrow night, the first performence of the year Being 'Hannibal', we will hold a Mascarade Ball." And as he said this, all but one failed to notice the letter appear.

The Phantom looked out the window that was in the room and looked over the town in France. He sighed and held his hands behind his back. He had a smile on his face.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Christine looked at the letter, and then looked to Madame Giry. She sighed and wrapped her arms around herself, sadly.

Margaret made her way back to the others, at first she was nervous, but after she was told Raoul wasn't there she went ahead. Soon she heard a woman saying something, it sounded like she was reading the letter. Quietly she hid so she could her what was written.
