10 years later
Christine's POV
It has been 10 years since I gave birth to Gustave. He has grown up and is very kind young man.
I have been singing at the theater lately and recently I received a letter from a Mr.Hamerstine.
Dear Ms.Vaganov
I have recently heard you sing and I think you would be perfect to sing at my new Manhattan Opera House. I will pay you 300 American Dollars, and pay for your trip here and back. Your husband and Child may come with if they would like.
Sincerely,
Mr. Hamerstine
"Do you want to go Christine?" Gleb asked.
"Yes I feel like I need to sing again."
"Then I will go pack."
"Thank you." I said giving Gleb a quick kiss.

Phantom POV
"Ten long years
Living a mere fasad of life
Ten long years
Wasting my time on smoke and noise
In my mind
I hear melodies pure and unearthly
But I find
I can't give them a voice
Without you
My Christine
My Christine
Lost and gone
Lost and gone
The day starts
The day ends
Time crawls by
Night steals in
Pacing the floor
The moments creep
Yet I can't bear to sleep
Till I hear you sing
And weeks pass
And months pass
Seasons fly
Still you don't walk through my door
And in our haste
I count the silent days
Till I hear you sing once more
And sometimes
In darkness
I dream that you are there
But wake holding nothing
But the cold night air
And years come
And years go
Time runs dry
Still I ache deep in my core
My broken soul can't be alive or whole
Till I hear you sing once more
And music
Your music
It teases at my ear
I turn and it fades away
And you're not here
Let hopes pass
Let dreams pass
Let them die
Without you what are they for
I'll always feel no more than halfway real
Till I hear you sing once more"

"Hey, Christine, where are yuh? Yodeleh-hee-hu!"
"Look, there she is"
"Christine, Christine, Christine,
Christine, Christine"
"Her name is Madame Vaganov
Excuse us
Please No pictures of the boy"
"Christine, your first performance in years
Why aint you signing at the Met."
"Mr. Oscar Hammerstein has asked as a personal favor to open his new Manhattan opera house"
"How'd he lure the great Christine Daae over here anyway? It's the money, right? All that American mullah?"
"My wife is an artist he just happens to be offering money."
"It's two weeks till the opera house opens. What are you gonna do?"
"I want to go to Coney Island and lean to swim." Gustave answered.
Suddenly a carriage with no horses appears.
"Mother, look.
Right over there
Across the square
That carriage"
Three people get out of the carriage. They all look like they are from the freak show on Coney Island.
"Honored friends
Welcome to America"
"Take a seat
Rest your feet"
"Honored friends
Mr. Hammerstein's expecting you"
"Climb aboard
Lady, lords"
"Where is Hammerstein
We were assured he would meet us in person"
"Here my dreams can wander free
Tell me what we're going to see"
"This way, Prima Donna
Please leave, we'll escort you"
"Leave assured, Mr. Hammerstein
Sent us to transport you"
"Mysteries and Melodies
Play inside my mind
Fairy tales and phantasies
Silently unwind"
"Ask no questions, have no fears
Anything can happen here"
