This fanfic was inspired by pika la cynique's and ashleyrrider's crossover comic (sorry if i didn't spell that right!)

This is my first fanfiction so here we go!

I heard the distant sound of a song as I came close to the end of my afternoon hike. I knew that song was my own when I heard the words float gently through the air.

No one would listen

No one but her

Heard as the outcast hears.

Shamed into solitude

Shunned by the multitude

I learned to listen

In my dark, my heart heard music

I long to teach the world

Rise up and reach the world

No one would listen

I alone could hear the music

Where is that voice coming from I thought as I walked down the dirt trail. I must find her, the one that sings of her loneliness. I was so lost in the song that for some odd reason without me realizing it, i began to sing along while walking toward the sound of her magnificent voice.

Then, at last, a voice in the gloom

Seemed to cry "I hear you"

I hear your fears

Your torment and your tears

I sang my heart out as i sat on that bridge singing of my loneliness then I began to hear a male voice join in with me. His voice was so beautiful that I thought I was imagining it until I heard him getting closer, I turned and I sang my heart out even more with this stranger who seemed to do the same.

She saw my loneliness

Shared in my emptiness

No one would listen

No one but her

Heard as the outcast hears

No one would listen

No one but her

Heard as the outcast hears...

"I'm sorry about interrupting your singing, I just couldn't help but sing along with your beautiful voice." he said, I then blushed a brilliant shade of red from his compliment. He wore a buttoned up poet shirt with a few buttons left to show his bare chest and wore a peculiar mask.

"Its okay, it's nice to finally find someone who knows this song."

He began to lower himself until he was sitting next to me on the wooden bridge that showed a beautiful river flowing through a small meadow.

"I should probably introduce myself, my name is Erik. What is your name Mademoiselle?"

My name my name how could I forget my name, I just lost all trace of the world as I examined him, he looked like the character Erik from my favorite movie Phantom of the Opera ,I mean even his name is Erik, and he is wearing a mask too! I then was able to get back to the matter at hand and thought for what seemed like forever and finally remembered my name.

"My name is Cherie, I just recently moved to an apartment nearby here."

"Really, what building?" he asked in a curious matter.

"The place is called Shady Hills Complexes" I whispered before I got lost in his bright green eyes again.
" Well that is a coincidence, I live there too. What room number." he smiled and my heart fluttered.

"Room 16C" I said when he lifted himself off the ground.

"What another strange coincidence, I live right across from you!" he offered me his hand for assistance.

"Thank You" I said and I gladly took his hand.

"It would be my pleasure, Mademoiselle Cherie, if I could escort you to your home" he said with his French accent that made me melt while extending his arm for me.

"I would be delighted if you did." I said as I grabbed his arm.
We walked the rest of the path, making brief stops so he could show me something fascinating or just simply offer me a beautiful flower. We stopped by a rose bush and he gently picked a rose with his careful gloved hand and held it out to me. I accepted the rose and held it close to my heart while he started to hum "Music of the Night".

"I know that song, it's from one of my favorite movies." I then started to hum along before he stopped.

"what movie is that song from?" he asked while gazing up at the partially cloudy sky.

"it's from the movie The Phantom of the Opera." he winced when I said phantom for some reason.

" What's wrong Erik?"
" How do you like that movie, the phantom gets left with a broken heart in the end." he placed his hand on his heart as if he was trying to hold himself together.
" I like the movie because of the songs and phantom scenes, not because the phantom gets left, merely because I relate to his loneliness."
Erik stood their shocked by my words and gave me a smirk.
" How could someone like you be as lonely as the Opera Ghost."

" No one understands me, they all say I daydream to much and my imagination gets the better of me. You see my mother passed away when I was young and I never knew my father, so I daydreamed a lot when I was young, it was the only thing that kept me from thinking about my loneliness, so I guess you could relate me to the opera ghost if you must"

I said with a sad smile, he sensed my sadness and spoke with a reassuring tone

" I'm sorry about your mother. If you are so lonely here you are always welcomed to visit me, you'll just have to excuse my glittery goblin roommate Jareth."

When he said that name I froze in place instantly. Jareth that slimy sister swiping sparkly errr goblin. I can't believe it he followed me again I thought.

" Wait a minute Jareth, as in Jareth the goblin king."

"You know him? I thought he was supposed to be unknown to everyone." he stared at the sky once more looking a bit worried.

"He is unknown to everyone but the champion of the labyrinth." I said real smug about the idea that I kicked his royal but with less help and time then Sarah did.

I still remember Hoggle telling me that Jareth had never looked at anyone with that sad love in deep in his eyes. It was painful to remember that last glimpse I got of him when I said the right words. I immediately shook of the pity I felt for him, he was asking for it he underestimated me and fell in love with his opponent.

"Oh you're her aren't you, you're the one he obsessive's over. He talks about you so much that it often gets annoying."

" He's out to get me Erik , so far he has sabotaged all my roommates by sending me creeper crystals, I mean my last roommate kicked me out because she slipped on a crystal while she was taking a shower!"

I almost forgot I was talking to Erik until I saw him wince in pain as I shouted that last line. I quickly apologized and he said it was alright. He led the way until we got to the building. I told him I had to get some boxes from my car so I would see him later, but then before I could even grasp my first box he was already holding three and I only had one left.

"Erik, you don't have to help me I can do this myself." I gave him a reassuring smile, but he didn't take it.

"Nonsense Cherie, It would be my pleasure to help you." He said when we started walking toward the elevator. I pushed the button for the third floor and started humming along to "All I Ask of You". We made it to the third floor and he showed me my apartment. I took at the new keys and opened the door. I was amazed of the mountain view I had and how nice the apartment was that I forgot to put down the boxes.
"Isn't it beautiful" I sighed as I gazed out the window. He replied with a simple smile.
"Well, I see you have all your things up here, so I'll just go now." he gave me a half smile; I could already tell he didn't want to leave so I did what any other person would do.

"Erik" I said as I reached out and grabbed his arm." Would you like to join me for some coffee."

"I would be delighted to join you, Cherie." he followed me to the kitchen and watched as I made the coffee. I really wanted to ask him if he was the phantom, but I didn't want him to freak out or anything. Finally I couldn't hold back the question, so I decided to ask him after the coffee had finished. "BEEP" went the timer so I poured both of us coffee in the two identical mugs I found.

"So Erik, are you the Opera Ghost?"
He nearly spewed all his coffee across the room before I could even finish the word ghost.

"Well, I guess I should of known that you would figure it out, yes I am the Opera Ghost." he seemed to brace for a scream of terror but instead he got a girly giggle.

" why are you laughing, why aren't you scared?" all he did was stare at me in the weirdest way.
"I'm laughing because I have met scarier things then the Opera Ghost."

He started laughing along with me until he finished his coffee.

"I must go now; It was nice to have someone other than a glittery goblin to be with, and thank you for the coffee."
He smiled and began to move, but before he could reach the door I had him in a hug.
" thank you for everything; maybe we can hangout together again. And before I forget, please don't tell his royal highness I'm here okay. Bye." he smiled as he returned my random hug.
" Would you join me on my afternoon hike at 12:00 tomorrow, it gets lonely walking by myself."

"Maybe, just maybe." I said while smiling slyly.
He then left closing the door behind him and letting me unpack my final boxes.
