Welcome to Gaia! ::

Stephen was on his way to pick up Cammie. Surprisingly Judy hadn't bug him much since Cammie and he left together the other day. That or she was still in shock that he picked Cammie over her. He hoped that Judy wouldn't try to do something to Cammie to get back at him. Now he was going to enjoy his time with Cammie and not think about Judy. He reached her apartment to find her waiting for him outside."Hey Cammie, ready to go I see." He was still debating where to take her out for lunch today.

Amelia wasn't a total wreck as she did know that she had landed a role for Phantom but was still a little nervous. This morning, she was working on a painting that a variety of Venetian Masks as Niko made their lunch. She came upstairs to that he made eggplant parmesan, which was one of her favorite Italian dishes."Mmm, something smells delicious. What could it be? Eggplant parmesan perhaps? That's what it smells like to me."

"How does the Japanese restaurant Nikko's sound to you? It's really good or they were still good last Friday when I met with Jameson, Mel, and her bodyguard as well. " He said, wondering what she would said.

"Sounds like a plan to me Niko. So was this your first time making it or you had made it before now?" She asked him as she dipped a big pile of eggplant parmesan onto her plate. She began eating while she waited for his answer.

Soon it was time to find out what role that Amelia would play in the production of The Phantom of the Opera. Both Amelia and Niko were there at the theater and sitting down near the front of the stage. There were other people there as well, hoping that they would get the roles that they wanted.

Soon it was six o'clock and the two men that told her at her last audition came on stage."Good evening to all that are here tonight. For you to be here, you are all a part of of the cast, no matter what part you get. Before we get any further thought, we have another producer that was not involve with or deciding who gets what roles in this production. He would be called the silent 'partner' at this point in the game. He was not here in the building during the auditions or talk to us about who should play each character before now. That will remain so. Y'all meet him at the first practice next week. His name is Jamson Von Bourne. We did this in case one of his family members was to try out and not to show favoritism to them. You all got the parts for your own ability to sing here. Now on with the show. Now for the parts."

Amelia thought she was going to be sick after their announcing who their silent partner was. She almost wanted to get up and leave right then. It didn't matter to some people think, some of them will resent her either way if she had landed a big role in this. She turned her head to look at Niko, uncertainly was written in her eyes as people's names were called for different roles.

"Now for our two stars, the role of the Phantom of the Opera goes to Merlin MaCaffery. Now for our star, Miss Christine Dae herself is Amelia Von Bourne!"

Amelia couldn't believe what she just heard. Did she really receive the role of Christine Dae? The role that is most wanted of all the women roles in this play?

(Done)

"You might have to restrain me the next time I see Jamson." She murmured under her breath to Niko before they announced the parts. She was mad at him for not telling her that he was doing this! Did the rest of her family know this? She thought as the producers called out name after name. Her anger at her brother lessen and was under control when they got to naming the Phantom and Christine. She couldn't believe she got the role of Christine. She felt Niko's hand on hers and she looked to him. His smile and how he was excited that she got the part, made her smile and warmed her heart. She wanted to grab his tail but wasn't going to to it here. She got up to go on stage as the others did to accept the role from the producers. "Thank you gentlemen for this chance and I'll do my best not to disappoint." She said to the two men, shaking their hands when they offered it to them.

"Everyone else is a part of the chorus and possible understudies. We will start practice on Monday here at two o'clock here at the theater. You all are free to go. We'll stay and answer any questions you all might have." One of the producers said. Then they were asked a few questions as people began to filler out.

Amelia headed back to Niko once they were done and sat back down next to him. "Ready to go and eat some food first or pay a visit to my eldest brother?" She said, giving him a choice, or seemed to at least. If she is driving after this, she would head strait to Jamson's home.

Niko chuckled at hearing what she said about Jamson, that'd be funny to see so he might not hold her back. Glad to see her smiling as the roles had been announced, at least she looked relieved not so strained like before when hearing the bit about her brother. Waiting as she went up to speak to the two in charge and thank them and all. Sitting waiting and looked as she came back sitting with him. He snickered, "Heh, I think food can wait this one time, I think I rather see you chew your brother out. Some entertainment before dinner." Smirking joking around. He stood and extended his hand to help her up and head out.

Niko had been entertained as Amelia was chewing out Jameson. He was snickering off to the side watching, seeing that little sheepish expression of his. At least they got a free meal out of it. Next morning, he had just begun to stir from sleep when he heard Amelia shouting for him to get up and moving. Yawning, he stretched like a cat or dog would after waking up. Laying there for a moment longer before he was up and moving. Getting refreshed and dressed and ready. Soon hurrying down, he was in the kitchen. Grabbing a fruit to eat as well, his ears flicking as he heard the not too far off shuffling around where Amelia was searching for the camera. Soon down where she was, smiling, "good morning...so gonna do some more photo shooting today? You seem in a good mood for it," smirking he didn't have to guess why, since she got that lead in the musical and all, so things had been going good. "I'm ready when you are." Already heading to the door, leaning against the wall when he got there, waiting.

Niko smirked listening as she explained. "Oooh underwater, sounds fun." He went a little silly as he murmured absentmindedly, "wonder if it gets good pictures underwater...like bubbles." That being the silly thing, about the bubbles. Nodding, "Alright, and I'll grab a snack too..." snack bar or fruit. Since he didn't need her fainting or something from only eating so little in the morning. He went off and got the water bottles and a pair of snack bars, having them ready. He got to the door and held it for her, "After you milady," winking being silly still.
