"I've lived in Paris my whole life" Rosalind said "And yet I still find myself astounded at the beauty of it, it is so classic in some respects" she said dreamily "And yet, I do want to explore I want to visit camelot or places like that. Go to England"
She smiled at Juliette "Do you have dreams?" she asked "Or any wants?" she added, dreams were a bit of a strong word.
A dream is a wish your heart makes Rosalind she heard her mothers voice in her ear
So it is my dream that you'd come make to us she replied in her own head It is not a wish, my heart has made it, and yet it could have been made by my head aswell

It was a rare occasion that his father was sober and had actually sent Joseph out to enjoy himself. Jospeh did not know how to though and instead returned yo the opera house to just think. However when he got there he saw the stage was occupied by the two girls that made him feel...odd. Like the heart quickening, stomach dancing odd.
Still he was friends with at least one of them; Rosalind who had made the accaintance of recently. She was enchanting, they both were. To Joseph dancing and singing were beautiful and as these two were particularly good at both he felt he could watch them forever.
He walked out of his place backstage and walked up to the dark haired one, Rosalind. They were both oppsites in that way, Rosalind had dark hair and big dark eyes, wheras the other girl; he did not know her name, was blonde and blue eyed.
"Good evening, Mademoiselle Dashwood" he said bowing slightly to her "and to you too Mademoiselle" he said bowing to the other girl. "i do not believe we have met, I am Joseph Ferras, the stage hand" he added and smiled gently at them both

"And yet, I do want to explore I want to visit camelot or places like that. Go to England" Juliette nodded her head. "I heard that the English countryside's quite a sight, my parents lived there once." she replied, smiling back. Glancing behind Rosalind, Juliette noticed a man approaching. She took a small step back, then was relieved to see that it was Joseph Ferras.
"i do not believe we have met, I am Joseph Ferras, the stage hand" Juliette took a deep breath, tucking a runaway strand behind her ear. "Well, it is nice to meet you, Joseph. I am Juliette Croft." she answered. Her heart started to race, a little bit. She is a little shy, when meeting new people, especially men. Juliette could feel the heat rushing to her cheeks already, she glanced at her feet, then back at him. Joseph has a nice smile, she observed.

Joseph smiled at the two girls "It a pleasure to meet you Mademoiselle Croft" he said bowing slightly. Perhaps they could all be friends. They both were the most beautiful people he had ever seen, it did make him feel slightly uncomfortable and he shifted somewhat uncomfortably.
He was of a lower class than them, he could tell that already, and they, with all their skill could rise up to the upper class. He himself could sing a little bit too, but he was too shy to perform on stage.
"I've seen you two dance" he said shyly "You are both very good" Better than the rest, and I've heard you sing too he added silently in his head "I'm teribly sorry if I've startled you two girls, my father allowed me out on an excursion, but this is the only place I know in Paris" it is the only place I want to know too

Roslaind smiled at him "Monsiour Ferras, Juliette and I were just talking, where we wanted to go to, I was thinking England, explore the globe theatre, pretend to be half of a star crossed lover pair"
She smuiled "Romeo and Juliet, possibly one of the greatest love stories ever told" she smiled as the thouht occured to her "ROsalind she was also in Romeo and Juliet, she was the girl Romeo was originally in love with untill he met Juliet and had his eyes opened"
That will probably happen with me, a guy will fall in love with, but because I am too scared to admit my feelings for him he will find his love elsewhere
She knew that that was not the case in Romeo and Juliet, but it would probably always happen with her. She glanced at Joseph I bet your the Romeo to her Juliet

Juliette smiled back at him, as he bowed slightly. Her heart began to pound, within the confines of her chest. She slowly took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down."I've seen you two dance" he said. Yes, I've noticed, Juliette mused to herself.
"I'm teribly sorry if I've startled you two girls, my father allowed me out an excursion, but this is the only place I know in Paris" She glanced down at her hands, then back at him. "Oh, it is quite all right, Joesph. I wasn't startled." she answered, mentally adding in her head, Much. Juliette snuck a glance over at Rosalind, noticing a certain glint in her eye. Maybe she likes him, and she's not the only one, she thought to herself. Her hand began to shake a little bit, she discreetly hid it behind her back.

Joseph smiled over at the two girls again, struck by their beauty he smiled over at Rosalind at her comment "Romeo and Juliet, it was such a beatifully tragic story. Although I do wonder" he thought of what to say next "How it would have been if they had not have died"
He laughed suddenly as a thought struck him "It is strange" he said "That how I meet both of you is by walking in on you dancing, albeit in different places" he smiled, remembering meeting Rosalind in the Opera Populair "and both times I did not expect to meet anyone"
Particularly anyone of such beauty he thought Why do I keep on thinking of them as that they are not objects or scenery or paintings they are people, talented ones at that

Deciding to ingnore his Romeo and Juliet comment for the moment, Rosalind grinned "You are correct there Monsiour Ferras" she paused and smiled to herself "If I remember correctly you gave me quite a shock" she brought a hand up to her mouth and chewed her nail slightly Dancers should not bite their nails, it ruins the image she could hear the instructer say, yeah like thats what the audience look at, our nails
"So, if my calculations are correct, Monsiour Ferras, you have seen both of us dance and sing" she grinned at Juliette "I'm afraid that might mean you may have to oblige us with the same" she let a giggle escape, she could not help it, she felt Joeseph, if nothing else would make a good friend for her, having a friend that is also a boy appealed to her. it went against the norm of boys and girls being only romantically involved, of course, she did like him a lot, but that would go soon, wouldn't it?

"So, if my calculations are correct, Monsiour Ferras, you have seen both of us dance and sing" Juliette gently ran her teeth across her lower lip, questions now crossing her mind - waiting to be answered. Where has seen me sing? Does he mean, while during rehearsal or...somewhere else?, she thought to herself.
"I'm afraid that might mean you have to oblige us with the same" As she grinned back at Rosalind, Juliette nodded her head slightly. "I quite agree, you have seen us express our talent.... and now it may be time to return the favor." she said. He does have very nice eyes, she observed. Now just thinking about his eyes, Juliette can feel her cheeks heating up already. A runaway strand fell in front of her face, she pushed it behind her ear, but it fell right back.

Joseph shot Rosalind a mock angry look then smiled at Juliet. Then slowly he smiled again, his brown eyes lighting up. "Well if you insist." he sighed "But you must excuse me, my dancing is, what you call sub-par"
He closed his eyes for a moment and tried to think up a song, any song, he remembered the words that ran through his head as he watched the two girls dance everyday since they came
"A waltz when she walks in the room She pulls back the hair from her face She turns to the window to sway in the moonlight Even her shadow has grace"
He opened his eyes slightly and glanced at the girls quickly
"A waltz for the girl out of reach She lifts her hands up to the sky She moves with the music The song is her lover The melody's making her cry
So she dances In and out of the crowd like a glance This romance is From afar calling me silently
A waltz for the chance I should take But how will I know where to start? She's spinning between constellations and dreams Her rhythm is my beating heart
So she dances In and out of the crowd like a glance This romance is From afar calling me silently
I can't keep on watching forever I give up this view just to tell her"
He finished suddenly, losing the confidence he had, his voice was deep and pure, and he really did love singing, he used to sing to his mother, she said it would ease her pain, he also sung his siblings to sleep. He looked at his feet shyly not daring to say a word.

When he finished Rosaling clapped enthusiastically.
"Joseph!" she exclaimed "That was amazing!" she said when she finally found her words "And that song, I mean wow, did you write it yourself. And your voice, Joseph, you should really be on stage, your much better than that lead male role"
She covered her mouth with her hand "I should not have said that, it's true though" she said recovering
She did not know if anyone noticed the tears which welled up in her eyes while he sung, the song was so beautiful, it seemed to stay in her head even after he finished singing. "Wow" she said again softly more to herself than anything as she put her hand on her neck

While listening to Joseph sing, Juliette could've sworn that her heart skipped a beat or two. 'She's spinning between constellations and dreams...Her rhythm is my beating heart....' She closed her eyes, still listening to his voice. And when he was finished, Juliette almost felt like she was being pulled out of a trance. A feeling she never felt before, in her life.
She opened her eyes, to see him, staring down at his feet. She snuck a glance at her new friend Rosalind, noticing that her eyes were welling up with tears. Juliette's eyes are pretty darn close to filling up with tears as well. "I agree, that was truly amazing." she finally said, looking back at Joseph. He was still staring at his feet. Juliette felt her feet move, a couple of steps toward him, and her hand reaching up to lightly touch his shoulder. "Joseph, you have a wonderful singing voice." she added.

Jseph could not help but smile at the compliments, Rosalind had tears in her eyes, and Juliette seemed pretty near it too.
"I'm sorry" he said shocked "I did not mean to make you cry" he looked and Juliette then at Rosalind. Julieete walked up to him and Joseph felt his heart beat faster, it almost felt like it stopped beating when she put her hand on his shoulder. He smiled at the girl again.
"Thanks" he said finally referring to the compliments "That was really nice of you. But you two are amazing at singing too, have you ever thought of singing professionally, or taking up a singing role here"

Rosalind smiled and supressed rolling her eyes "We are crying at the beauty of it. Jospeh you have real talent there, truely" she paused "And we are being truthful not nice. i would not have tears in my eyes if I thought it was bad"
She ignored Josephs comment on singing professionally and watched Jospeh and Juliette instead, she seemed to like him. Like was not a strong enough words; it was not possible to dislike the boy, it was possible that Juliette had, to put it lightly, feelings for him.
Rosalind thought about her own feelings for him. it was, getting complicated; she liked Juliette and they both liked Joseph. But still Rosalind, who was trying to get herself to be open to falling in love, was unsure of whether for Joseph it was like or love. She did quite fancy being Josephs best friend, that was rarely found between a male and female.

Juliette removed her hand from his shoulder and took a step back from him. She can't really believe that she just did that, she never was bold enough to do that before. Juliette, maybe it's because you may have feelings for him, her inner voice told her. Juliette gently bit her lower lip, but not hard enough to bleed.
"We are crying at the beauty of it. Joseph you have real talent there, truely" She slightly nodded her head. "Rosalind's right, you know. These aren't tears of sadness, Joseph." she replied. A silence fell between the three of them. Juliette took a quite deep breath, wondering if her inner voice may have a point or not. She never felt this way about a man before, in her life. This is all new territory for Juliette. A strand of her hair fell in front of her face, and she pushed it back behind her ear.
