A/N: Yay, more of them! They're fun. xD Enjoy! And sorry it turned out all bold. I couldn't fix it. xP


1. What Did I Ever See in Him? from Bye Bye Birdie

Max grind his teeth together as he read the post card Leo had sent him over and over again. He was in Rio. With Ulla. Having a good time. And where did he leave his business partner? In jail when he was just as guilty!

He kicked the ground and cursed to himself, wishing that Leo could hear the harsh words he just muttered. It served him right.

2. Finale from Phantom: The American Musical

Leo sat at the out-of-tune piano in Max's office. HIs business partner hadn't arrived yet, so he was just playing a tune he remembered from long ago when he had taken piano. He couldn't remember the name, but he thought it was by Mozart or someone like that.

As Leo lost himself in the music he was creating, Max walked in and sneaked up on him.

"Hi, Leo!" he exclaimed, scaring the crap out of him. He sat down at the piano with him. "You're not that bad a player, you know that? Can you play that song again?"

Leo nodded. "Sure."

3. Come Rain or Come Shine from For the Boys

The rain was pouring from the skies as Max and Leo walked back from the Chinese food restaurant down the street. When they had left, it had been so sunny, but now that they were heading back there just had to be a torrential rainstorm.

"I'm soaked!" Leo exclaimed as they hurried back to their office.

"I know, just keep moving," Max coaxed him, wanting to get out of the rain as much as he did. But maybe not. Leo did look nice with his hair all wet. Maybe even . . . cute. Then again, Max always held a certain charm no matter what the weather.

4. Prisoners of Love from The Producers

Their first musical since getting out of jail; Max and Leo were ecstatic as they watched the curtain go up and the overture come to an end. Their faces lit up as the main theme played and Roger came out, gay as ever, as the warden.

The audience seemed to enjoy it as well, only adding to their joy. It was a success, and this time around that was a good thing.

5. Grizabella from Cats

Leo walked about Central Park by himself. Like usual. It wasn't that depressing. No, really! He was used to it.

Or maybe not. Maybe he just wanted to think that way to evade the pain.

He took a seat on a bench and heaved a long sigh. He had always been an outcast to society. There were never any friends for him to call, never any one to go out. Not even someone to confide his troubles to.

Leo felt a tear drip from his eye and quickly wiped it away. Maybe he would always be lonely like this. Maybe that was the way things were intended to be.

6. Tonight Quintet from West Side Story

Max could feel his stomach tying itself up in knots. He had been an idiot that morning in the prison cafeteria. HIs big mouth had gotten him into a fight with a convict that towered above him and looked much stronger than he would ever be. The man had threatened to 'show him who was boss' that night when they were served dinner. There was only five minutes until then, and Max just wasn't ready to face that man. Tonight would not be a pleasant one. He was probably going to be pretty sore.

7. Speak Low by Barbara Streisand

Leo leaned his head on Max's shoulder. They had just finished a bland dinner of frozen macaroni and cheese, and he was exhausted. He closed his eyes. He felt so safe in his embrace, like he could just fall asleep right there.

"I love you," Leo whispered.

"I love you more," Max replied in the same tone of voice.

"No. I do."

"Who are you kidding?" Max lightly pressed his lips up against Leo's. "You know I do."

8. The King of Broadway from The Producers

Max hid behind the newspaper he had until he was sure the coast was clear. He began to read some of the terrible reviews that had already been published. Heaving a heavy sigh, he shook his head. How could this happen to him, Max Bialystock?

Max tore the paper to shreds. The scraps were carried off by the wind, just like his reputation. "Do you know who I used to be?" he asked to nobody, and then noticed a blind violist . He approached him, screaming, "Do you know who I am? You're looking at the man who used to be the King of Broadway!"

9. Now I'm Here by Queen

"We're going to be rich, Leo! Rich!" Max exclaimed as he and his new business partner danced about in the fountain. They were splashing water in every direction, smiles stretching across their faces. "Just imagine all the money!"

Leo liked the idea of having a million dollars, but there was something that excited him even more. "And I"m going to be a producer! A Broadway producer!"

After circling the fountain a few times, they stopped and entwined each other into a hug. Leo was a bit nervous by the sudden approach, but quickly melted into Max's arms. "It's amazing, isn't it?" he asked.

"I can't think of anything better," Leo admitted.

10. An English Teacher from Bye Bye Birdie

"Did you ever want to be anything but a producer?" Leo asked Max as they sat on the sofa, taking a break from their mundane work.

"Well, actually, yes," Max replied, nodding his head. "An English teacher?"

Leo tried not to laugh. He just couldn't see his friend in such a role! He just didn't fit the description at all.

"I know what you're thinking. It was only because my dad was one. Then I realized how much I hated reading and how much I hate kids."

They both chuckled. "I think you'd be a better producer any day of the week," Leo told him.
