Forever and For Always
A/N Okay fellow Phantom lovers…its time for a new story…This is of course, and E/C fic, that's the only thing that I ever write. The idea for this story came to me as I was taking a walk through nature. (Don't ask…I am very random) Anyways…I hope that you enjoy this and remember… this is a MODERN-DAY PHIC! So the characters can talk slang and can wear jeans and have ipods and stuff. All the original cast members are keeping their original names…(ex. Christine Daáe not Christine Day or whatever some people say, Raoul de Chagny not Raoul Chandler, and Erik Destler, I am not sure if that is his real last name I am just read that in other phics. Anyways…without further a due…let my story begin! (hee...hee…that's from phantom.. "Let my opera begin!" I am turning into him more and more everyday. Enjoy! Make sure you review or I will eat you all alive:-) Just kidding!
Okay I am really sorry but Raoul still had a snobby rich family, Erik was adopted, and Christine still has her mother and her father died. They will all be older later in the story…but for now just let them be young and in kindergarten.
Chapter 1- First Meeting
"Christine….Christine…get ready for school! You're going to miss your first day of school!" Mrs. Anita Daáe had been trying to get Christine to wake up for almost twenty minutes to get ready for school; but all that could be heard were Christine's faint cries of,
"Mommy I am coming! I am just putting my skirt on!" or "Mommy I am just putting my hair up."
But when Anita had come up to see what Christine had been doing all that time, she found her daughter on her bed, in the same position that she had been in the night before.
"Christine darling, why aren't you getting up?"
"I am scared."
In all the years that Christine had been on this earth she had been a very brave and adventurous person: up until this point in time.
"How come sweetheart?"
Anita knew she wasn't going to get an answer right away but asked her anyways.
"Well……Um….."
"Well what?"
"I…I…." Christine had reached her breaking point. "What if no one likes me? What if they all think that I am ugly and dumb and tease me and make fun of me and stuff like that? What if…"
"Shhh…..you are the most beautiful, most smart girl I have ever seen.
Christine sniffed. "Really?"
"Really."
Christine's mood quickly changed. It went back to the perky, happy attitude her mother used to know.
"Okay then let's go to school!"
Christine's mother helped Christine get ready for school and walked her to the bus stop.
(Okay I don't know how to explain this but Erik is mature for his age, like he uses big words and stuff..)
"Erik Charles Destler! Get up this instant!" His 12 year old brother Michael loved to tease Erik with his mother's voice.
Erik was no idiot; he knew it was his brother.
"Mike…shut-UP! I am coming!"
"Jeez Erik, what's bothering you."
"Nothing." He mumbled.
"That means something is wrong. Tell me."
Ever since Michael's family adopted Erik when Michael was 10, Erik had been very secretive about everything. He never liked to talk to people, besides Michael about his mask.
"Well…do you think that people are going to make fun of me?"
"Why would they make fun of you?"
Erik sighed. He wished he could be different than everyone else. He wished that people wouldn't give him a look of disgust whenever they walked past him. The one thing that fluctuated himself from the rest of the world: his face. As Erik lifted up his mask from the table,
"I wish I didn't have an ugly face."
"Come on dude…you'll be fine, just don't listen to what everyone else says. I'll tell you what…about I walk you to the bus stop?"
"Okay…"
Raoul de Chagny was not at the least worried, He had awakened at five-thirty in the morning just to get ready for school. The maid in his house had fixed him up a breakfast of pancakes with whipped cream and strawberries on top. Raoul's family was the richest family in the neighborhood. They lived in a colossal mansion with four floors, not including the basement. Raoul's mother and father were always busy at work. His father was a lawyer and his mother was a nurse. They never had time for him. Their maid, Diana was the closest thing to a mother that Raoul had.
"Raoul, would you like it if I dropped you off at the bus stop?"
"No, that's okay Diana, I know my way."
"Okay darling, have a great first day at school!"
"I will."
All three children made their way to the bus stop.
"Good bye Christine!"
"Good Bye Erik!"
"Have a great day at school." Both of the spoke in unison.
"Hi!" Christine said, what's you guy's names?
Raoul and Erik both looked up.
"Huh?" they both spoke at the same time.
"I said…What are your names?"
"Ummm……"
"I am Erik."
"And I am Raoul."
"I am Christine Daáe, nice to meet you."
By that time the bus came. All three children stepped on the bus. It was going to be a long day.
