💤Ladies and Gents, This is the Moment You've Waited For💤

A/N: Edited 5/20/2020. I wanted to change up some songs and add voice claims at the end.

"Alright! If you don't know me, I'm Katelyn Firefist. I'm going to be this show's director!" Katelyn announced, holding a clipboard in one hand and a pen in the other. "I know a lot of you were expecting Heathers, but funds were insufficient for the score. And by that I mean I refused to have myself, the cast, and the crew pay for this whole show, as we are paying to even use this theatre, as well as costumes and whatnot. But, they're paying for the sets, so I'm not going to complain!

"So as you all know, we're doing The Phantom of the Opera! And we're gonna go down this list... Somewhat. Aphmau Phoenix, you're up first!"

I watched from the piano as Aphmau came up the wings and handed me her sheet music. She marked where she was starting and ending, and any little add ons she had.

"So, Aphmau, what will you be singing for us today?" Katelyn called from the front row of the audience.

"I will be singing 'Think of Me' from this show, although in the style of Sierra Boggess." Aphmau replied.

"A kiss up?"

"You forced me to sing until my throat was raw seconds before a date, don't test me."

The audience laughed and Katelyn shook her head. "Get on with it!"

Aphmau nodded to me and I started playing. She waited for the few bars of music before singing.

"And though it's clear. Though it was always clear that this was never meant to be, if you happen to remember, stop and think of me.

"Think of August, when the world was green. Don't think about the way things might have been.

Think of me. Think of me waking silent and resigned. Imagine me trying too hard to put you from my mind.

Think of me, please say you'll think of me, whatever it is you choose to do. There will never be a day when I won't think of you."

I finished my last chord and stacked up her sheet music. The crowd was cheering and Katelyn looked proud. Aphmau bowed and came to me for her music.

"Where in the world have you been hiding? Really, you were perfect." I sang softly, taking the notes down to a comfortable range for me. She laughed quietly and went back to her seat.

"Aaron Mendoza! What are you singing for us?"Katelyn asked,

"I'll be singing 'Music of the Night' from this show."

"Whenever you're ready."

I nodded and cracked my knuckles. I glanced down at Alex, who was sitting next to the piano stool, before actually playing. "Close your eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams. Purge your thoughts of the life you knew before. Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar. And you'll live as you've never lived before.

"Softly, deftly, music shall surround you. Feel it, hear it, closing in around you. Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind in this darkness which you know you cannot fight. The darkness of the music of the night."

I finished the chord, stood up, and bowed. I sat back at the piano and petted Alex's head since he had perked up at me standing.

"Gene Caballero, top that if you can." Katelyn teased. "Man, I know way too many of you."

"Not many of us left Phoenix Drop, Ms. Firefist." Gene joked as he came onstage. He handed me his sheet music and cleared his throat. "I'm going to be singing a song!"
