The action shifts to the house of Pandora and BSam, a socially-conscious couple who have Anka in their care. They don’t really pay attention to her, though, so she relies on the medical drops provided by Betsy. Since they have stopped, Anka has been drifting in and out of hallucinations.
Castle on a Cloud
Anka: There is a castle on a cloud Where I’m as helpless as can be. Everyone makes choices for me There in my castle on a cloud.
Pandora: Enough of that! Or I’ll forget to be nice Put Teen Wolf on TV, don’t make me ask twice.
Anka sighs and changes the channel. Pandora kicks her out of the room. BSam walks in and trips Anka on her way out the door.
Masters of the House
Pandora: Welcome, BSam, sit yourself down. Tell me some tales from out on the town.
BSam: Preaching my wares, strutting my stuff Making sure no-one’s calling my bluff. Seldom do you see honest men like me Speaking every week ‘bout inequality.
Both: Masters of the House, here the norms are missed Gender inequality does not exist. Here we do our best, keeping you informed We won’t rest until the world has been reformed. Weeding out the propaganda, We’ll inform you of the facts. But discourse gets you nowhere People need to get on out and act.
Pen walks in and does a slow clap as he explains his wishes to bring Anka to a hospital. Although they are otherwise reputable people, BSam and Pandora are happy to get rid of the child. As Pen sweeps her away they sing once more.
Both: Masters of the House, glad to see her gone. Never doing nothing, left the TV on. Why’d we take her in? Always looking ill. Now no need to worry we can have our thrills. Everybody here should toast us, nothing much else rhymes with house Everybody raise a glass to the Masters of the House!
The audience goes wild and Emma lifts her aqueous martini in their direction.

Yay! First comment! Pandora's Teen Wolf line was pure genius, Sixteen. I felt so bad for Anka here; I'm glad that Pen stepped in to rescue her. I love your take on Masters of the House. Thenardier and his family were my favorite characters in Les Miserables.And I have an aqueous martini! Whoooo!!!

Oh wow, I'm so honored to receive this award. I'd like to thank BSam, my vocal coach, and Sixteen, for writing that it happened.
Lolol, I love your portrayal of Sam and Pandora. Very accurate as of late.

Nothing happens for nine years but then suddenly everyone is upset with how Tragedy is running 667 Dark Avenue. There are a bunch of 667ers who are planning a revolution. Bandit walks onstage and directly addresses Emma in the audience.
Bandit: How do you do, my name’s Bandit. Am I real old or just a kid? I’ll never tell how old I am But I can get you out of a jam.
Here we dream of a new society 667 Dark Avenue Will be reborn in notoriety And now for help we look to you. Think you're poor, think you're free? Follow me, follow me.
667ers: Look down, and see There's nowhere left to go. Look down, be free Let the public know.
Willis: With all the rebels on these boards How have we not reaped our rewards? Come follow me now, take my hand I don’t care if it gets me banned.
The revolutionaries, including Mister M and Sixteen, run through the streets. Meanwhile Pen is out walking Anka. He never handed himself into Dante when he returned nine years ago because he realised he got a lucky break again. As the revolutionaries pass them, Mister M is caught dead in his tracks. He has spotted Anka and believes her to be the most beautiful girl in the world.
Meanwhile meanwhile, BSam and Pandora are chilling with their pal Piper in the corner. She knows Mister M because they went to school together. She is not in love with him. The three recognise Anka from many years ago so they approach Pen to ask “sup?”.
Pen is paranoid and sure that he’s going to get caught eventually so he panics and grabs Anka and runs away. Then Dante shows up. Man, Pen is really lucky. Dante asks what all the ruckus is about and everyone shrugs. By the way, you can pretend this all happened in song.
Mister M walks over to Piper.
Mister M: Sherry Ann, who was that girl?
Piper: Some German childhood memory.
Mister M: Sherry Ann, find her for me.
Piper: What will you give me?
Mister M: Anything.
Piper: Got you all excited now but God knows what you see in her Ain’t you all delighted now Fine, I’ll take your money, sir.
She takes his money and leaves because she is not in love with him. Mister M makes his way to the Café 667 where the rest of the revolutionaries are meeting. He walks in as Willis is making an impassioned speech.
Willis: Mister M. You’re late.
Bryan: Mister M, what’s wrong with you today. You look as if you’ve seen a ghost.
Sixteen: Some wine and say what’s going on.
Mister M: A ghost you say, a ghost maybe. She was like a freckled ghost to me. One minute there, then she was gone.
Sixteen: I am agog I am aghast Is Mister M in love at last? I've never heard him ooh and aah You talk of forums to be won And here he comes like Don Juan Like that time Bee wrote an opera.
Willis gets impatient when he realises that Mister M was off watching girls from a distance again. He changes the subject back to the rebellion.
Willis: It is time for us all to decide who we are Do we fight for the right to write an opera now? Have you asked yourselves what’s the price we must pay Is this simply a game for rich young boys to play? The colours of the forum are changing day by day. Gold – The riches we once knew! Black – The darkness of the past! Gold – The world that lies anew! Black – The night that ends at last!
Mister M: Had you been there tonight you might know how it feels To be struck to the bone in a moment of breathless delight. Had you been there tonight you might also have seen How your heart can be changed with just one wondrous sight And what was right seems wrong and what was wrong seems right!
Sixteen: Gold!
Mister M: The colour of her hair!
Sixteen: Black!
Mister M: My life if she’s not there!
Sixteen: Gold!
Mister M: The gorgeous maiden fair!
Sixteen: Black!
Mister M: The colour of despair!
Sixteen and Mister M look around to realise that everyone has left them to discuss plans for the rebellion. Sixteen takes a swig of wine and follows them. Mister M sighs and goes to see if Piper has found the girl.

I love the image of BSam and Pandora saying "'Sup?" to Pen. And the two reminders of how Piper/Sherry Ann is not in love with Mister M, who, at long-last, has discovered Anka. I wait eagerly yet patiently for the next installment.

I like how you rhymed "ooh and aah" with "opera". I can't take credit for that one. That's in the original.

Really? Haha. Well, I really liked it overall, but I guess I've ran out of ways to say it.
