Phantom of the Gala

Two hours later, it was the ending scene for the opera. So far, no one liked this opera very much. A few people actually left before the second act. So here it was, the final scene. A long table with food set up on it and a long bench beside it.

Rarity, Sweetie Belle, and the rest of the chorus walked on stage. They all sang their chorus parts, “Serve the meal and serve the maid! Serve the master so that, when tables, plans and maids are laid, Don Juan triumphs again!” they sang out to the audience.

They then walk off stage and Fancy Pants, as Don Juan, and Jet Set, as Passarino, walk on stage. “Passarino, faithful friend,” Fancy Pants sang to Jet Set, “once again recite the plan.”

“Your young guest believe I'm you,” Jet Set then sang. “I'm the mast, you the man.”

Fancy Pants kept singing, “When you met you wore my cloak,

with my scarf you hid your face. She believes she dines with me, in her master's borrowed place!” Fancy Pants sang to Jet Set. “Furtively, we'll scoff and quaff, stealing what, in truth, is mine. When it's late and modesty starts to mellow, with the wine.”

Jet Set smiled like he had an idea, part of the acting, and sang, “You come home, I use your voice. Then slam the door like crack of doom,” he sang.

Fancy Pants nodded and pointed to himself. “I shall say, 'Come hide with me'. 'Where, oh, where?', or course my room!” he sang.

Jet Set shook his head and looked down. “Poor young thing hasn't got a chance,” he sang referring to Fluttershy's part in the opera.

Fancy Pants then took the big hat off his head and gave it to Jet Set. He then also gave him a cape, and a sword. “Here's my hat, my cloak, and sword. Conquest is assured, if I do not forget myself and laugh!” he sang as he took the cloak he gave to Jet Set and put it on himself. It covered his face and body. He then laughed as he walked behind a curtain leading to his “room”.

Fluttershy then walks on stage smiling while playing with a little scarf. “No thoughts within her head, but thoughts of joy,” she sang as she got to center stage. “No dreams within her heart, but dreams of love!”

Fluttershy then sits down on the long bench next to the table and pretends to eat an apple of the table. “Master?” Jet Set asked in song.

“Passarino,” replied a voice that sounded nothing like Fancy Pant's. “Go away, for the trap is set, and waits for it's prey.”

Jet Set then walked off the stage and Don Juan walked through the curtain and onto the stage. He walked closer to Fluttershy, who didn't notice Fancy Pant's voice change yet.

“You have come here, in pursuit of your deepest urge,” he sang to Fluttershy. “In pursuit of that wish to which now, has been silent. Silent.”

Fluttershy then got up and walked near the front of the stage, still with the apple. “I have brought you, that our passions may fuse and merge,” Don Juan continued to sing to her. “In your mind you've already succumbed to me, dropped all defenses, completely succumbed to me.”

Don Juan then picked up a goblet full of “wine”, there was nothing in the cup, and walked over to Fluttershy. “Now you are here with me, no second thoughts, you've decided. Decided,” he sang to her handing her the goblet.

Fluttershy threw the apple behind her and grasped the goblet with both of her hands. She then took a “sip” of the “wine”. “Past the point of no return,” he sang. Fluttershy then started to walk away, but Don Juan grabbed her arm and she turned and looked at him. “No backward glances. Our games of make believe are at an end.”

He then flipped some of her hair back behind her shoulder. “Past all thought of if or when,” he continued. He then grabbed her hand, but she took it away from his. He then grabbed it again and held on tight with his black glove. “No use resisting, abandon thought and let the dream descend!”

Fluttershy then slowly walked back over to the bench as he sang that. When she had sat down, Don Juan walked over to her. “What raging fire, shall flood the soul? Which rich desire unlocks it's door?” he sang as he came right behind her. “What sweet seduction lies before us?” he sang putting his hand on her upper leg.

His hand then went slowly up her waist. “Past the point of no return, the final threshold, what warm unspoken secrets will he learn?” he sang as his hand had stopped in her chest area. He then brought his other hand up and placed it there too. “Beyond the point of no return.”

Fluttershy was slightly enjoying this, when she realized that this was not part of the choreography she had rehearsed with Fancy Pants. She then realized that this wasn't Fancy Pant's voice. This wasn't Fancy Pants! This was the Phantom. She then pulled his hands off her and got up.

She went over to the other side of the stage. “You have brought me, to that moment when words run dry,” she sang to him. “To that moment when speech disappears into silence. Silence.”

Fluttershy then started to walk offstage, but then she realized that that might result in someone dieing. So she decided to stay on and let him have his fun until they arrest him later tonight. “I have come here, hardly knowing the reason why,” she continued singing getting closer to him. “In my mind I've already imagined our bodies entwining, defenseless and silent.”

He was sitting down on the bench, and she was right behind him. She then put her hands on his shoulders and moved down, probably the boldest move Fluttershy ever made. “Now I am here with you, no second thoughts, I've decided,” she sang. “Decided.”

She then put her hands on her hips and continued. “Past the point of no return,” she sang. “No going back now, out passion play has now at least begun!”

Fluttershy then set her knee down on the bench beside the Phantom. “Past all thought of right or wrong,” she sang. “One final question. How long should we two wait, before we're one?” she sang. When she sang “one” she had slid her hands down his arms and held his hands tightly.

She then sat down next to and took his hand on her cheek. “When will the blood begin to race?” she sang. “The sleeping bud burst into bloom? When will the flames at last, consume us?” she sang as she put both her hands on one of his and put it to the middle of her chest.

Fluttershy then realized that she was being dumb and she had to get off the stage. So she quickly let go of him and tried to run off the stage, but he grabbed her before she could. “Past the point of no return,” they both sang as the Phantom tried to pull her towards him. “The final threshold, the bridge is crossed so stand, and watch it burn.”

Fluttershy then stopped struggling to fight him, and looked at the Phantom. “We've passed the point of no return,” they sang. Fluttershy then wanted to make sure it was the Phantom and she took the cloak off his face. Underneath the cloak was a man in a white mask that covered the right side of his face. It was him.

The Phantom then stepped back and looked at Fluttershy. “Say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime,” he sang to her in a different tune from the song they just sang. “Say you'll want me with you here, beside you.”

Fluttershy was still looking at him. The Phantom then looked at his hand. He looked at the hand that didn't have a glove on it. On his gloveless hand there was a ring on his pinkie. He took the ring off and looked at Fluttershy. “Anywhere you go, let me go too,” he sang. He then was right in front of Fluttershy. He quickly shoved the ring on Fluttershy's finger and looked at her. “Fluttershy, that's all I ask of...”

Before he could finish his song, Fluttershy took his white mask off revealing his deformed face. It was red and scaly like a dragon's tale and had little cream colored spikes going down the back of it. Little did Fluttershy know, that he was also wearing a black wig that covered ugly gray hair. He also had a weird looking eye and a long tooth.

Fluttershy looked down and pulled the glove off his hand too. Underneath that was a bird claw it looked like. The Phantom looked at her and then looked up. He picked up Fluttershy and carried her up to the rafters of the stage. He then cut a rope that made the chandelier crash to the floor setting a huge fire to the auditorium.

The Phantom then disappeared with Fluttershy down to his lair. Spike had noticed this and ran down to find Madame Sparkle. “Where did he go?” he asked her.

Twilight took his hand. “Come with me,”she told him.

“I'll go too!” Sweetie Belle volunteered.

“No!” Twilight scolded her daughter. She then turned back to Spike. “Come with me,” she told him as she ran down to a secret entrance.

Rarity then walks on stage. “Where is Fancy Pants?” she asked looking around. “Where is... AHHH!!!!” she screams. For she found Fancy Pants. She found him hanging backstage. Rarity screams and runs out of the Canterlot Opera House, she was never heard from again.
