The Adventures of La Calandra

by SingingGal

La Carlotta and Raoul have a child named La Calandra. What will happen when Christine sends her to Erik for voice lessons? What if she met Christine and Erik's son, Gustave? Maybe a little romance? Already fairly into the story, but a quick read to catch up! Read and Reveiw please!

1. Christine Sent Me!

Erik sat at his desk, writing a letter to the management of the Opera Populaire despite what today marked the day of. Twenty years ago, his Christine ran out of his underground home with the Vicount de Chagny, never to come back. Only once had he ever seen her since then...

"Dear Management:

I regret to inform you that my salary was paid two days late. Don't allow this mistake to occur again or a great misfortune will occur. Also, I suggest that the casting for Il Mudo should be reconsidered, as La Carlotta seemed to have a frog in her throat during the last performance.

Your most humble servant,

O.G."

He thought to himself, "I've dropped a chandeleir, I've stolen a soprano, I made La Carlotta croak (which I remind the managers of quite often)! What greater misfortunes could I cause to occur! Well, those managers seem frightened enough if a letter falls onto the set, I very well may never have to cause another 'accident'."

A shadow flitted across the room. A shreik resonated around the lair "Hey ERIK!"

Erik jumped behind the organ that dominated one side of the room, but it was too late. He had been seen.

"Don't worry, don't worry, I'm not a Phangirl. Christine sent me!" the voice said, melodically bouncing across the walls.

"What?" he said. "Oh yes, Gustave turns 19 tomorrow! I'm guessing I still can't give him voice lessons for his birthday?"

"Actually, she sent me because she said you could give ME lessons."

Panic flooded his mind. "Well, if Christine sent you. I'd do anything for her. So exactly who are you, what are you doing here, and how in the world did you know how to get down here?"

"Well," she began, "I am La Calandra, I'm here- like I said earlier- because Christine Daae sent me, and she told me all about the one-way mirror because I'm using her dressing room now that she has moved away."

"WHAT?" he exclaimed. "I specifically told those no-good managers that box five was to- I mean that dressing room was to be kept empty! Why in Bach's Buttons did they give it to you!"

"Because I'm La Carlotta's daughter."
