Singing Do I Diddy Diddy Dumb Diddy Do (C. Svenna)

[Roselin A. Soulle]

Roselin was walking down the street in her town. It was on her way to the manor. She was absolutely loving that place! She had so far met there, Erik and Carlotta from one of the stage plays of Phantom of the Opera and both encounters were quite interesting indeed! Oh but both were quite fun, such adventures she was having. Oh her friend would be jealous of her for sure!

Unfortunately, Kimberly hadn't gotten back to her for quite some time. In fact, she hadn't texted her since she met Carlotta. It kind of made it drizzle on her parade but she shall keep marching on! After all, she would surely text back some time. And in the wait, she was going to have fun and possibly meet up with Erik again or even possibly... Carlotta. Oh how strange it was for her... she slightly did really like Carlotta. She wasn't completely bad after all. She was even still slightly shocked that Carlotta attempted to teach her a bit on the piano.

Roselin was wearing navy blue shorts that went just below her knees, rather comfortable really for the late afternoon summer weather. She also wore her plain white t-shirt with a lime green, elbow length shirt underneath. And of course, a set of green and blue bracelets on both of her wrists and black ballet flats. And of course, there were silver ear phones in her ears (not that they would be anywhere else) and had music playing loudly from her blue and silver ipod. As she listened to the song, she started to hum along happily with it. Not that she would be able to hum unhappily to it, especially since it was a happy song.

"...walking down the street. Singing do I diddy diddy dumb diddy do..." The lyrics sang just before she accidental bumped into someone. Her ipod went flying from her hand and ears and for a moment, everything was a blur while she fell back onto her butt. "Oof!" She exclaimed and then jumped forward to save her ipod on her ground from nothing particular and turned it off and shoved it in her pocket. "I am so sorry, I wasn't watching I was going and I was listening to a really good song and was getting into it. Gosh I am really terrible sorry and..." She had began to ramble off as she always did but this time, it was very different. Could it be... could it be Christine?! Roselin shook her head, nutty phangirl. This lady really looked like the stage version of Christine.... was she from the manor?!

[Christine Svenna Daaé]

It was about mid morning when Christine popped down into the kitchen for a snack. She was wrapped in a white dressing gown, not having bothered to get dressed yet that day. After all, she hadn't been planning on going anywhere. She scanned the counters looking for something to munch on and spotted a plate of cinnamon rolls sitting there. She didn't think anyone would mind if she took one. After all, there were quite a few there and they were just sitting out in the open. And she did very much like cinnamon rolls...

She selected one of the gooey sweets from the tray and then plopped down onto a stool to eat it. She had only just finished and was sucking the white icing off of her fingers, when she caught sight of a plain brown paper sack sitting on another counter closer to the icebox. Curious, she went to investigate, licking the last of the icing off of her fingers.

Upon a quick glance inside, she saw an apple, a small silver pouch labeled 'Capri Sun Tropical Cooler, and a package of Shrimp flavored Ramen Noodles. She winced a little reading 'shrimp.' Those poor fishies... She didn't care what Raoul said – she had seen what the talking picture box said, and fish most certainly did have feelings and could talk; they just didn't like talking to humans – that was all! Raoul.... Oh no! This was Raoul's lunch! He must have forgotten it when he left to go do tutoring at the school. There was still time before lunch, but he would surely be missing it once he did get hungry.

Christine closed the paper sack again. She should probably take it to him. After all, she knew where the school was... She began to leave the kitchen, but stopped suddenly, then went to the cabinets and began rummaging through until she found a package of chicken Ramen Noodles, then replaced the shrimp ones in the sack with Chicken and quickly hurried off to go to the school.

Raoul had taken her to town and she had seen the school where he worked before, so she roughly knew the way how to get there. She did now, however, bother to change into something other than her dressing gown. She had recalled people walking about in skin-tight short dresses that may as well have been towels someone had wrapped around themselves, so she hardly thought that being clothed as she was would really matter....

She was practically running down the slopped path headed down toward the village, not paying much attention to her surroundings, when all of the sudden, she bumped into someone and dropped the paper bag, spilling the contents everywhere. The apple began rolling down the slop toward the town below. “STOP THAT APPLLE!” the young woman cried out, and she darted after it, sliding to a halt and scooping up the bright red apple before laughing in triumph and tossing it up in the air and catching it a few times, as if it were a ball with which to play catch.

Still tossing the apple up and catching it over and over, she returned to where the rest of Raoul's lunch had fallen and picked it up, brushing off any dirt before sticking it back into the brown paper sack. It was only then did she notice the blonde girl standing there, seemingly dumbstruck, apologizing and trying to explain what had happened.

Christine chuckled a little. “Oh, don't worry about it – I wasn't paying much attention either. My name is Christine, by the way.” She held out her hand for the girl to shake, but then looked down and realized it was covered in dust from picking up the things off of the ground and she laughed again, wiping it off on her hip before re-extending her hand. “Christine Svenna Daaé. And yours?”

[Roselin A. Soulle]

Roselin stared at her for a moment, amazed by the resemblance. Now Erik and Carlotta resembled themselves in practically every single detail but this just took the whole cake. She smiled widely though, and her name is Christine! Her mouth nearly dropped however when she spoke of her full name. Daae?! She also had a middle name that Roselin didn't recognize. She took her hand and shook it.

"I am Roselin.... Roselin Autumn Soulle...." She said with a large and bright smile across her face. She held her breath in for a moment. She tried her best to not start to burst into a complete ramble off of questions when first meeting someone but.... Oh! It was so hard to resist! It was crazy when she met Erik, it could have been some crazy trick that was unexplainable- or at least to her. Then she met Carlotta, was it possible that it was another trick? And yet she too looked like herself! But now she was meeting Christine Daae... CHRISTINE DAAE! Now either she needs to start questioning her own sanity or there really was something crazy happening.

And if it what something crazy happening.... she was enjoying every second of it. "If you don't mind me asking Christine......." She took in a deep breath. "Are you by any chance from that big manor? I have been over to it quite a bit though I just started meeting people there. I met an Erik and a Carlotta. Its crazy I think! But so cool too. And then now here I am meeting you and your name is Christine, Christine Daae even! Its all so weird. At first I thought that it might of been some kind of crazy trick or something because I am a fan and everything but meeting three people who look like how they actually do is just nuts. If this keeps up, I wouldn't be surprised if I ran into Raoul next or something. Oh by the way, its a pleasure meeting you." She said smiling, nearly completely unaware that she had rambled off so off topic of her questions.

[Christine Svenna Daaé]

Christine couldn't help but to laugh and smile at the girl's enthusiasm. “It's good to meet you, Roselin. Do you live around here?” Though before Christine had managed to get her question out, the blonde girl started bombarding her with speech, which only made the woman giggle even more. She remembered being like that when she was a bit younger, before she had come to the opera.

“Slow down a bit,” she managed through her laughing. “No, I'm not really from the manor, but that's where I've been staying recently. I'm not quite certain as to how I ended up there though... Yes, yes, my name is Christine Daaé. And of course I look like me, silly! I...” She trailed off in a fit of giggles before regaining her composure enough so that she could continue speaking.

“I do know one Erik, and a Carlotta, but I didn't think she was here. Then again the Carlotta that I know could be a different Carlotta than you know, you know? Hmmmm....” She pondered this a moment before it registered what else Roselin ha said. “Raoul? I'm actually on the way to his work. , He forgot his lunch,” she said holding up the lunch bag so she could see. “It's Ramen Noodles. He seems to like those...”

[Roselin A. Soulle]

Roselin smiled, a bit embarrassed that she had rambled off- though she was use to herself doing that, but was glad that Christine didn't get upset about it or anything. She listened to her with a large silly grin on her face. Well, it was quite difficult to see Roselin without a smile on her face. She was also glad that Christine was giggling, it made her happy that even her silliness could make someone else smile.

She listened as Christine told her that she knew people named Erik and Carlotta. Roselin was going to say that she had met the two same people that Christine knew since they were all from the same play but hesitated and then stayed silent to listen to her continue on about Raoul. Her jaw dropped slightly when she told her that Raoul worked... worked in the town?! She boomed into a big explosion of giggles. Raoul... Raoul was here! And he even liked Ramen Noodles!!! Roselin was bending over, laughing but then soon stood up, wiping the slight tears from her eyes, smiling widely.

"Oh my gosh... whoo!" She laughed again. "Raoul really is here... I would have never guessed that he works in town though! I haven't seen him around at all, where does he work? And oh, Ramen Noodles are extremely good. I love the chicken Ramen best but if I can't have that then I usually have the beef ramen. She said smiling. "Have you had any yourself?" She asked with a wide, wild and silly grin on her face. She couldn't believe that she was having such a conversation... she couldn't even believe she was conversing with Christine Daae! But out of all the subjects in the world... Roselin had continued to talk about Raoul and the Ramen Noodles. She was a strange one, wasn't she?

[Christine Svenna Daaé]

Christine was a little confused when Roselin started laughing. Had she said something funny? She didn't think that she had... she glanced around to see if there was maybe something funny behind her. “Yes, Raoul is here,” she continued on, still a bit confused at the laughter. “He works at the school... I'm sorry, but what are you laughing at?” the young woman finally asked in confusion.

“I've had them a couple of times with Raoul before,” she said in response to the question about Ramen noodles. “I prefer the beef ones batter, but chicken is okay too. Oriental is my favorite” and then she looked around again, as if trying to see whether or not there was someone listening in on them, and whispered “He tried to have shrimp ramen in his lunch, but it's all right now; I switched them with chicken.”

[Roselin A. Soulle]

"Oh... I am sorry." She said, giggling slightly still even after Christine had asked what she was laughing at. "I just find the fact that Raoul really is here... amusing." She said, smiling. Roselin wondered what he taught at the school and why was it that she never had seen him there? Hopefully he hadn't been working there to long or else she would have been greatly disappointed about never having seen him before.

Roselin grinned as she listened to Christine tell her that she had eaten Ramen noodles before and her preferences. Oh what an interesting topic indeed for them to have landed onto at the moment. She then started another giggle fit, though not as extreme as before, when Christine told her that she had switched his shrimp Ramen with chicken. Roselin was just loving how Christine was reacting to things, it just somehow seemed so silly and she acted slightly secretive almost and she found it greatly amusing to watch.

"Oh yes, the chicken Ramen noodles are better then the shrimp ones. I am not too big on shrimp myself." She shrugged slightly, still giggling a bit here and there. She then sighed happily and then remembered that Christine had said that she had been on her way to seeing Raoul, or at least dropping off his lunch. Roselin was about to let her on her way but then thought up a semi-brilliant idea, that was, if Christine liked it at all. "Hey Christine, you said that you were going to see Raoul, right? Well, I suppose I should let you go on your way... but I was wondering if I could tag along. If you don't mind my company for a bit or anything." She asked, smiling and was really rather hopeful that she would let Roselin come along.

[Christine Svenna Daaé]

((Just don't let her see chicken run XDD ))

“Amusing?” she asked. “Why? Have you met him before?” Christine still didn't quite understand what the girl meant by it being amusing that Raoul was there, but she decided not to ponder on it for too long. After all, Raoul had told her that there were strange people here who seemed to know them already, or to think that they were other people. Weird...

“Oh, yes, they are. Much much better. After all chickens can't talk or sing songs when nobody is looking...” Suddenly Christine froze. She probably shouldn't have said that. It made her sound strange. Beside, the fish wouldn't like her telling...

“Anyway, of course you can come too. It's really no bother. I've only been to the school a couple of times before, so I'm still a little iffy on the directions to get there. You know your way around the village, right? I'm sure Raoul would love to meet you.”

[Roselin A. Soulle]

((XDDD))

"Well... I wouldn't say that I've met him before..." She said, giggling a bit. No, of course shes never actually met him... but shes seen him on t.v. and her computer quite a bit, though not as much as the Phantom, but still quite a bit.

Roselin began to laugh a bit again when Christine said that Chickens couldn't talk or sing. Though there were movies that said that they could... along with cows and other animals. She thought that she would say something about it, but then decided against it, feeling that if she were to break out into a hearty laugh again, she might burst a lung or something of the sort.

"And thanks! And yeah, I know my way around. I've lived here all my life, I should hope I know my way around by now." She laughed. "And it would be awesome to meet Raoul... now, which way do you believe is the way to the school and I shall navigate over to it." She said with a large smile. Roselin needed Christine to point the way out because she didn't know which school Raoul was supposedly at. There was after all, several schools. Then she had a funny idea, how ironic it would be if Raoul was working at her school? Eh, unlikely.

[Christine Svenna Daaé]

“Well, if you haven't met him, then how do you know him?” Christine was a little confused until she remembered something that Raoul had told her when she had first arrived in this strange place. There were supposedly people here who knew who they were, of her thought that they were different people.

“Oh never mind,” she said, quickly dismissing the subject. “Just forget I ever asked that.”

Christine listened as the girl spoke. She said that she knew the village quite well. “Wonderful!” Christine exclaimed. “If I do recall correctly, the school is that was,” she said, pointing toward where she thought it was in the city, hoping that this girl would be able to point out directions to her if she was mistaken.

[Roselin A. Soulle]

Roselin nodded when Christine pointed the way. The school in that direction that she knew of wasn't her school, hers was on the other side, not that she really went to it any more. She really liked getting to go to school, even if no one really liked her there. But it gave her something to do and increase her knowledge. But now that she had Erik to teach her and she could get her stuff out of books now, who needs school anymore?

"Alright, I know that school. Well, of course I don't know it know it. I have gone by it a few times. But I never went to it, I use to go to the one on the other side of town though I don't really any more and have no need for it anymore anyways. Anyways," She laughed a little and started to walk. "I know just where we are going." She said and continued to walk. This was going to be a very interesting day, not to say that it wasn't already an interesting day. But she knew that it was just going to get a lot more interesting, if that was possible.

"By the way, if you don't mind me asking, when did you come here? I mean, what happened in 'your world' before you went to the manor? And where did you end up? Erik told me that people popped up all the time in random places. I find that so weird and yet so cool! Though I can't imagine being ripped from your world and suddenly being stranded in some strange place. That would rattle me up something awful." She said with a slight shiver. It was true, she had thought of it before. Roselin would have hated to be in their position. She then realized where she was going and smiled as she saw the school building up ahead. "And would you believe that's the correct building right up ahead of us?" She said, beaming a bright smile.

[Christine Svenna Daaé]

Christine smiled and listened as the two of them continued to walk toward the school in question. “Oh, fabulous!” she replied when Roselin said that she knew where the school was. “Now at least I know I don't have o worry about getting completely turned around,” she chuckled. Her smile faded a little though and she tilted her head ever so slightly when Roselin stated that she didn't have any need for school any more. “Why don't you?” she asked in curiosity.

She gave a funny sort of expression, half between a smile and a wince, when Roselin asked 'what happened in her world before she came to the manor.' It was an odd question, but she supposed this girl must have known much more about why they were there, much like Raoul seemed to. “Well,” she began, “The last thing I remember before coming here was being on stage during the bows for a performance of Il Muto and the chandelier hurling toward me and then POOF!” she made a hand gesture to go along with her sound effects. “ I somehow wound up here!”

[Roselin A. Soulle]

"I don't really need school anymore because I have tons of books now... well... Erik is kind of teaching me, like he taught you!" She said excitedly the continued on. "I could just read the books in the library, I stumbled onto it and found that it had all my school text books in there and there were other text books and books that could teach me just about everything I need to know from school. It was so strange to find... but very cool." She said smiling.

Roselin then listened as Christine began to tell of what happened before she appeared at the manor. She giggled when 'poof' came into the sentence. "Well that's quite the entrance! Well, it would have never hit you anyways, Erik wouldn't allow that, you know? He just did it to scare you I guess... a small revenge for seeing his face or something. I am not totally sure, I never thought to ask. She said then looked at the building of the school. "Oh yeah! The school." She laughed a bit, having forgotten for a short moment. "Shall we go in?" Roselin smiled.

[Christine Svenna Daaé]

Christine listened top the girl's words and thought about them for a moment. That seemed to make sense. After all, She had never really been to a formal school. Her father had been her teacher before he had died, and then Madame Giry had taught her a bit and Erik had taught her. If Erik was teaching this girl, and she had books to read, that was okay, right?

“That makes sense,” the bubbly brunette said after a bit of thought. “Does Erik just teach you to sing?” She had figured that this girl must have met him about the manor, or have known about him beforehand like Raoul had explained to her. She really was curious. Was Erik working as a teacher too?

And then she laughed. “Yes, we probably should go in, or else Raoul is going to be very hungry very soon... we wouldn't want him to get all cranky because he had no food all day, now would we?” She added this last part in a whisper, and then gave a little wink to Roselin. “Come on! Let's go surprise him.”

[Roselin A. Soulle]

Christine asked Roselin if Erik had been teaching her. Roselin nodded her head vigorously, excited about how much she had already improved with his help. " Uh-huh! Acting too! Hes also now one of my best friends probably at the manor so far! Though everyone I have met so far are awesome, including you!" She said happily.

Roselin then giggled when Christine agreed for them to go in, mentioning that without food, he would get cranky like many Roselin knew. "No we wouldn't! Yes! A surprise! Tee-hee!" She giggled, jumping up and down a bit, excited. Roselin let Christine lead the way into the school. She wondered what Raoul's face would look like to see them, probably very happy to at least see his Christine. And what would he teach here? Oh she couldn't wait to meet him!
