So EriksNewLove and I thought that we would partner for another story, because we just kind of thought of this story one time and were like, "huh that would be a good phanfiction" So yeah, here's our epically awesome idea!

Based off people we know and well us.

McKenna: EriksNewLove

Lexi: Maxniss Everide

You've known people who have reminded you so much of Phantom of the Opera characters, right? That's what happened to us. So, this is about that. Let the epicness begin!

Disclaimer: Sadly, we don't own anything Phantom. Plus, you'd know if either of us owned Erik. Well, if I owned Erik… you would really know. :P

Lexi's POV

The Opera Garnier was more beautiful than I had ever imagined. It was so big… and tall… and…. Wow.

I imagined going inside for the first time, meeting the people in there for the first time.

Scared…. And confused…

What? I wouldn't be scared to go into a beautiful masterpiece such as the Garnier! Confused? I guess I would be since it was so amazing. But honestly, there was something messed up with my mind if I was thinking that I would be afraid.

"Jennifer, stay with the group please," commanded our annoying teacher, Mr. Davinson.

Mr. Davinson was a teacher that was given to us by some school district. He didn't even know me at all. So naturally, he would call me by my real name and not the nickname that everybody else called me by.

"Yes, sir," I said through gritted teeth as I rejoined the group next to McKenna, who rolled her eyes at Mr. Davinson when I came over.

I looked back toward our group. We were quite a strange group touring the Opera Garnier. We were from two separate schools, but they had to combine us with this one irritating teacher because we were so small. Even with both schools combined, we hardly took up any space.

The only people who actually knew each other on this trip were my friend McKenna and me. Well, I mean the only people who knew each other from the separate schools. From McKenna's school there were three other kids besides her.

Their names were Katy, Tyler, and Nadir. From what I could see, the most annoying out of that group was Katy. On the plane ride over to France, I would start humming to myself and she would try everything in her power to make sure that I was quiet. She even complained to Mr. Davinson from time to time and even he rolled his eyes. However, she seemed to bother McKenna much more. McKenna was an exquisite dancer, but Katy would make fun of her too. Why? I have absolutely no idea.

Tyler was different. He messed with bits of scrap metal on the plane and just was kind of weird. He liked bugging people, but it was not as bad as Katy.

Next, there was Nadir. Now… how do I describe Nadir? He was a little mysterious, I guess. He didn't really talk much and he kept mostly to himself. That was all I could really say about him.

Then there was my class. There were only about four other people besides me. Unfortunately for me, I was the only girl out of my class. The three boys were Derek, Ryan, Brett, and Malcolm.

I had no idea why Derek was even on this trip. We had signed up to come here for some kind of extra credit project for our schools. Apparently, it would go towards our final grades overall. Students like McKenna and I just went because… well it was the Garnier! What kind of phans would pass that up? Derek had no interest in history or anything like that whatsoever. Also, he only went on field trips if his girlfriend was going, but she was nowhere to be seen.

Ryan was one of those kids who felt that he always had to start an argument. If you said the sky was blue, he'd swear it was orange. I was one of his main victims for arguments. His other argument victim always seemed to win against him, so after a long time, he eventually gave up.

Then there was Brett. He was a very strange boy, very strange. He was one of the richest guys I knew- actually, he was the richest guy I knew. For some reason, that bothered me because he really did act like he was rich. He might as well have been the king of the world if he was going to act like that. But then he would contradict himself. Sometimes he would come down from his high horse and act just like everybody else. Those were the rare moments when he didn't care about what he wore and he would just talk to me like I was his equal. But I never hoped for that to happen much.

The last boy was Malcolm. He was Brett's twin. Just like Nadir, he didn't really like talking a lot. However, I have talked to him sometimes when he would let me. But that was pretty much it with him.

Now, in front of the Garnier, these kids seemed to get a little restless. Derek obviously wasn't missing his girlfriend because he was flirting with Katy. McKenna had told me that Katy had a boyfriend, but from what I was seeing, it definitely didn't seem like it. Tyler went over to Ryan and they began talking as if they were the best of friends. Then of course, since he was talking to Ryan, they began to bicker, those two buffoons. Brett, Malcolm, and Nadir just kind of stood there awkwardly while McKenna and I were going on about how we were actually at the Opera Garnier.

Actually, we were hoping to see Box Five. And of course, we would want to see Erik, but he was dead for a long time, unfortunately.

We went inside the Garnier and we were all awestruck. I felt like I had died and gone to heaven.

McKenna did one of those dancer leaps when we went inside and suddenly, a random picture ended my mind.

There was a girl with long black hair who was in a dancer's dress jumping and twirling on the stage. Then a voice said…

"This place is stupid," Katy pouted, interrupting my daydream. She seemed to roll her eyes at almost everything and everyone in the lobby.

"Then why did you even bother coming?" McKenna retorted.

Katy's face twisted in anger, but Derek came over to her and comforted, "Hey, don't mind her. Who cares what she thinks?"

Groaning, Katy let Derek hug her.

I breathed in the intoxicating air inside the Garnier, savoring each moment inside. Everything seemed to be going beautifully until-

"LEXI!"

I opened my eyes and turned around to face Brett.

"What do you want?"

He smiled coyly, "I wanted to say 'hi'."

"Hi."

He kept watching me as we walked.

"Okay, that's very creepy, Brett. I'm going to talk to McKenna now. Bye."

So I went over to McKenna and we began to walk side by side.

Mr. Davinson stopped and immediately, the whole group stopped. An older woman came over to him and introduced herself.

"Hello, I will be touring you around the Opera Garnier today. My name is Mrs. Norine."

McKenna had to hold in a gasp.

"What is it?" I whispered.

She choked out, "That's… my dance teacher."

My eyes widened in surprise, but when I didn't question any further, she added, "I heard that she was going to come here to teach dance for a while, but I never thought…"

I nodded in understanding. Before we knew it, we were walking again through the Opera House.

We were probably the only ones who actually somewhat listened to what the tour guide was telling us about the opera house. We still would make comments about Erik, and talk about how the chandelier may fall, but that's what phangirls do when at the Garnier!

I looked behind me and realized that some more people might have been paying attention after all. Nadir was studying almost everything we passed while Malcolm seemed to be looking for something. Something in his eyes almost seemed to spark when he saw where we had stopped.

We had stopped at Box Five. From that box, I had a perfect view of the chandelier.

Then, a scene flashed before my eyes.

"Behold, she is singing tonight to bring the chandelier down!"

I could see the chandelier in all its glory, fall like an old tree. People rushed about, screaming, waving their hands, running over the others just so that they could get to safety.

It was a catastrophe, and yet I felt responsible for it all. All I could do was stand there helplessly.

And then, without any warning, I was taken away.

"Jennifer! Are you paying attention?" Mr. Davinson asked impotently. I gave him a kind of glazed over look.

"Yes, of course."

"Then what did Mrs. Norine just say?" he raised his eyebrow.

Quickly, I guessed, "The chandelier…?"

Mrs. Norine blinked in surprise.

"Yes, actually we were talking about its fatal fall in about 1870."

Mr. Davinson seemed surprised that I apparently had been paying attention and only nodded.

I looked over at McKenna briefly and saw that the color had drained in her face. When her music teacher began speaking again, she turned toward me, "Lexi, something is very, very wrong here."

As we left Box Five, I felt unnatural cold shivers run through me.

"Yes," I agreed. "Something strange is going on."
