I tell you when to start the music 



The Moulin Rouge just re-opened 3 months ago. Toulouse and Christen thought they should check it out. Christen has moved on from Satine. He did what she said. He wrote their story. Surprisingly, their story became a huge success worldwide! 

The Moulin Rouge was transformed into a showplace. Not a bordello. Girls would come on stage and preform. There was a bar and tables to sit at. Toulouse and Christen sat  at the table by the stage. Ofc, They were having a great time till one person showed up.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome our sweet heart, Mademoiselle Y/N!"

The crowd cheered with delight. Christen looked at Toulouse, "Who is she?"

"Y/N, They say she's the best thing since Satine! She came all the way from america to live her dream as an actress. Now, everyone loves her!"

Y/N was wearing a blue corset with a long skirt made out of peacock feathers. Her hair was pinned with blue clips. She came down on a blue swing. Christen couldn't say anything. She was so beautiful. The music then started playing and everyone turned their whole attention with curiosity to the stage. Start the music   

  (Y/N look at the audience)

  I could have a mansion on a hill

I could lease a villa in Seville But it wouldn't be as nice as a summer in Ohio

With a gay midget named Carl playing Tevye and Porgy 

(Y/N Gets off the swing)

  I could wander Paris after dark

Take a carriage ride through Central Park But it wouldn't be as nice as a summer in Ohio Where I'm sharing a room with a former stripper and her snake, Wayne  

  I could have a satchel of dollar bills,

Cures for all the nation's ills,Pills to make a lion purr

I could be in line to be the British queen,Look like I was seventeenStill I'm certain I prefer to be going slowly battyForty miles east of CincinnatiI could shove an ice pick in my eye I could eat some fish from last July But it wouldn't be as awful as a summer in Ohio Without cable, hot water, Vietnamese food, or you.


(Y/N looked right at Christen, she smiled and walked down the stage to where Christen was)

  I saw your book at a Target in Kentucky 

(She sat on Christens lap with her body facing him, He was speechless)

  Under a sign that said "New and Recommended"

I stole a look at your picture on the inside sleeve And then I couldn't leave

Richard who was with me got uncharacteristically quiet 

(She stole Christens hat and put it on her head)

  He said "All things considered, I guess you don't have to buy it"

So I smile like Mona Lisa and I lay my Visa down 

(She walked back up the stage with Christens hat still on her head) 

  He wants me, he wants me

But he ain't gonna get meI found my guiding lightI tell the stars each nightLook at meLook at him

(She points to Christen for a second)

  Son of a bitch I guess I'm doing something right

I finally got something right  

  No, it's not Nirvana but it's on the way

I play "Anita" at the matineeThen I'll get on my kneesPray I can state in my next bioI'm never gonna go back to Ohio

(She threw back Christens hat, he caught it)

  I could chew on tin foil for a spell

I could get a root canal in HellBut it wouldn't be a swell as this summer is gonna be

Cause the torture is just exquisite While I'm waiting for you to visit


(She pointed to Christen again for a second)

So hurry up schmuck, get unstuck and get on the scene Love the midget, the stripper, Wayne the snake, and Mrs. Jamie Wellerstein

That's me! 

(She sat back on the swing)


The crowd went wild. Christen could hardly breathe. Y/N Looked at Christen one last time. She winked and blew him a kiss then she was gone. Christen and Toulouse both looked at each other. 

"What was that?"

"Christen, Consider yourself lucky! She rarely comes off stage!"

"Something about her is different...I must know who she is!"
