"Ok. Put on your listening ears for five minutes. Got them on? Good. Now just listen." Meg whispers.

"Long ago, there lived a man,
His name was Lefèvre, and he ran,
An ancient theater where a young girl was the star."

"With me?" Meg asks.

"You're the star, yeah!" A young ballerina asks.

"No! The young girl's name is Y/n,
And she's famous,
People come to hear her sing from near and far."

"Got it." The young ballerina nods.

"Good." Meg grins.

"Now, there's a rumor going round,
That in the tunnels underground,
There lives-"

"Wait, I know, can I guess?" Another ballerina asks.

"Sure, if you can." Meg smirks.

"A mysterious phantom! Am I Right?" She asks.

"Right, well, mostly,
But the twist is that this ghostly
Evil presence isn't monster, but man.

Now, this man had been blessed,
With a gift he possessed,
Musical talents completely unmatched.

But, as you often will find,
In epic tales of this kind,
This gift came with a curse attached.

A face that was hideous,
And so jarring,
He wore a mask to cover all the scarring."

"Cool!" A third ballerina exclaims.

"And lived underground inside a hole!"

"Wait, a hole? Why a hole?" Another asks.

"All his life, he'd been tormented, teased, and taunted,
But now his hunters would become the haunted,
The world that always made him feel unwanted would hear the toll,
The sounds of a tortured soul!"

"Ok, so he was born with a lightning scar, got it!" The eldest ballerina grins

"No, no. Your typical, everyday scar." Meg explains.

"Ohh, Scar like Lion King!" The ballerina giggles.

"You know, you are actually the worst. Listen up, you're gonna need to know this!" Meg rolls her eyes.

"One day at his piano
Distant sounds of a soprano
Drifted towards him from the theater above."

"K, so this hole has a piano?" A ballerina asks.

"Sweeter than a bird
In all his life he'd never heard
A sound like this, and he was instantly in love.

The voice, of course, was the young singer,
And the Phantom went and sought her,
To become his secret student, and his muse.

And if you think she found this oh-so-
Enigmatic virtuoso
Kinda creepy, then I've got some shocking news.

Because she fell, and fell hard
He was battered and scarred
But she could see that inside, there was more.

Something alluring, she'd find
In the sadness behind
That terrifying mask he wore."

"Wait a minute, is he her boyfriend?"
