The hours before the gala was all a blur. From costume fittings, to makeup testing, and wig fitting, everything was decided.

I get to wear the dress.

That's right the white dress that sparkles every time the fabric catches the light. I was fan girl screaming in my head until I realized this.

It was heavy. About twenty pounds of fabric not including the petticoat. I refuse to wear a corset due to the fact of what happened to Elizabeth Swan in Pirates of the Caribbean "Curse of the Black Pearl." Those things are death traps.

I wore the jewels in my hair after I put it in a braid, and let it sit for an hour, so my hair could have more definition in my golden brown waves. This is when I wish for a curling iron. I could've put my hair in ringlets. Oh well, you do what you have to do. Especially if you live in the nineteenth century. I wanted to wear my small chain with a music note that surprisingly came from the real world, but I guess it clashed too much. Also maybe a little too modern by a couple hundred years.

A/N: I know it isn't accurate, but it's close enough to the movie version. It's a custom I found online. I looks very similar though.

When I looked in the full length golden framed mirror, I gasped. I looked stunning. Like a bride. Like a princess. Like a prom or homecoming queen.

Like an angel.

"Oh my goodness," Meg exclaimed, "You look beautiful Rachel!"

"Thanks," I replied.

"Really, you look like royalty," Christine complimented.

"Oh stop, you guys are making me blush," I joke.

"Well gotta go, mother said she needed me," Meg said as she bounced out the door.

"Well isn't she excited?" I ask Christine.

"She's always bubbly before galas," Christine replies, "You're so busy being Prima Donna that you forget that we all were just like that once."

"Oh yeah," I say, "Well it was great to see the both of you anyways."

"So Rachel," Christine starts, "Do you think he will be there."

"You mean our angel of music?" I ask.

"Well duh, who else?"

I laugh. Then our tone grew serious.

"I guess he'll be there, I mean I am one of his vocal students," I answer carefully.

"Yeah, I guess," Christine stared off into space.

"Still thinking about Raoul?" I tease.

"Yeah, it's just," Christine takes a breath before continuing, "I thought he'd notice me."
