Phantom of the Opera.

Bailey looked at it, "What is this suppose to depict? Frank'N'Furters castle?"

"Um..." Rei paused for a moment as she examined it. "Oh, yeah. It's from that part in the rain so I've been trying to make it look rainy."

Bailey turned on her ipod and got to work, painting with greens, blues and grays. She grinned softly, tilting her head. "How is that okay?"

"That's great." She grinned. "Looks 'bout finished. I still need to work on the backdrop from the Floor Show." She moved the castle aside and pulled out the Floor Show one.

Bailey lied on the stage, stretching her very stiff back as she listened to her ipod, stretching softly.

As Rei started working on finishing up that backdrop, she sung to herself, not as quiet as before.

Is it lonely where you are...
In there...?
Does the darkness know your name?

What's it like?

Can you feel?
She said her blood turns to ash
Laughing...
Do you know what you've done this time to me?

Oh,

Did you have that dream again?
Release...
Breathe...
You're receiving what you said
Said she
Never mind

Emptiness, dead eyes and lost what you found

Maybe there on the edge is your hope
But you don't look down
Why?

Burning eyes can't forgive you
Howling moon drives on
And deep in me
Your illusion
What you see in me
Is...

Bailey shook her head slightly, she sat up and pulled out her headphones. She looked at Rei and sighed gently, "Do you think you'll miss this place, when you graduate?"

Rei glanced over her shoulder at Bailey. "Dunno. I don' think I'll miss this place as much as certain people." She smiled slightly.

"On the upside, I'll be able to get Erika her own room.." She smiled brightly. "And then they'll perform Phantom again after we leave.." She said softly, "and all will be forgotten. Time marches on."

Rei smiled a bit and plopped down next to her friend on the stage. "C'est la vie..." She sighed slightly.

Bailey lied her head on her knees. "I think I'm going to become a nun." She said softly, "And not have to deal with the trial and tribulations of love and men.. and women.. and.. everything."

"That'd drive me crazy." Rei smiled a bit.

Bailey looked at the stage slightly, "Me too, but at the very least I wouldn't be in this mess.."

Rei laid back on the stage. "Well, you could've had an abortion or whatever." She shrugged slightly.

Bailey stood, "I have to go.." She muttered, crossing her arms. She threw on her bag quickly, frowning.

"What?" Rei sat up, watching Bailey closely. "Sorry if I offended you or anything."

Bailey spun around and looked at her, "Yea, do you not have a filter between your mouth and your brain?" She looked at Rei. "Obviously not.." She said, exiting the theater.

"Why are people so touchy 'bout these things?" Rei rolled her eyes slightly. She grabbed her paints and went back up to her room. Grabbing her bag, she threw a few things in it and scrawled a note to Bailey, leaving it on her bed as Rei left the room.

Staying somewhere else for a bit
~Rei

Bailey sighed gently and brought Erika up to her room. She saw the note before crumpling it and throwing it in the garbage, she started to hum softly, her eyes clouding with Tears while she rocked Erika.

Rei stood right outside one of the back doors of the theater, leaned against the wall, and lit up a cig, taking a long drag.

Bailey had opened the mirror with Erika in her arms and made her way down the passageway and across the lake, holding Erika above the water. She Climbed up on the other side and sighed gently.

Erik came out one of the side rooms, seemingly surprised to see her. "What are you doing down here?"

Bailey sighed gently, "I... don't really know.. I just want to be around someone who.... doesn't treat me like I messed up my life."

He frowned slightly. "What happened?"

"I was talking to Rei.... She just pissed me off.." She sat down on his organ bench. "She told me, that I could have had an abortion..." She frowned softly.
