Please read this message before you read the story:

Hello Sonic and/or Phantom of the Opera fans! First, I would like to thank you sooo much for choosing to read my story, or even clicking the link to my story! This is a crossover between "Phantom of the Opera" and Sonic the Hedgehog and it is also my first fanfic! :D I decided to make it, because I am putting together my 2 favorite things into one story, and I wanted to tell the Phantom of the Opera story, but more kid/teen friendly so that it is easier to follow. "Phantom Hedgehog of the Opera" mainly follows the plot of the 2004 POTO movie, so if you have seen it, you may notice that some of the dialogue is the similar.

Also, I wanted to mix the character traits between the characters, so that the Sonic characters act like the Phantom characters, but still act like themselves at the same time…. If that made sense. So for example, Sonic plays Raoul, but still has his super speed and stuff… :D

Since Phantom of the Opera is a musical/opera thingy mabobber, the one thing I ask is that you read the italicized writing. Yes it is song lyrics, and yes I know a lot of people skip over them , but in this particular story, they are important. The lyrics also tell some of the story, so if you have never seen Phantom of the Opera, or you don't know the lyrics, you may find yourself very lost if you don't read the song lyrics. The words in italics are pretty much pieces of dialogue, but in the story the character sings them, instead of says them. TRUST ME, you don't want to skip over them, or you may find yourself very confused later in the story. So it would be frabjous if you read them! :D

I hope you enjoy the story! Please R&R if you can! :D Since it's my first fanfic, I could use some pointers and constructive criticism. Please, don't butcher it… it's a working progress!

(I DO NOT OWN SONIC THE HEDGEHOG OR PHANTOM OF THE OPERA! ALL CHARACTERS WERE CREATED BY SONIC TEAM AND THE STORY LINE AND MUSIC LYRICS WERE CREATED BY ANDREW LLYOD WEBBER!)

Here it is! Enjoy and have a frabjous day! :D

The Phantom Hedgehog of the Opera

Chapter 1: The Auction

1919 Opera Populaire (abandoned)

"On to Lot 665!" exclaimed the auctioneer. "Lot 665 happens to be an old Chaos Emerald found in the vaults of this very Opera House." The young silver hedgehog carefully unfolded the piece of cloth holding the emerald and placed it on the table in front of him. Its royal blue luster shined brightly bringing light into the dull theater. "Do I have 20 Mobiums?"

An elderly tan rabbit timidly put her index finger up, signaling the auctioneer. She was wearing a long black lacey dress and a beret with netting hanging down in front of her face like a widow. "Thank you Madame Cream." nodded the auctioneer. "Do I have 30 Mobiums?"

Just then, a young green echidna wearing pushed in an old blue hedgehog in a wheelchair. He was dressed quite nice; wearing a top hat and a black dress shirt. The blue hedgehog quickly threw his hand in the air. "Thank you, sir. Do I hear 40 Mobiums?"

Madame Cream put her hand up instantly. "50?"

The hedgehog quickly out-bid her. "60?" Cream didn't move, all she did was roll her eyes at Sonic, as if she were saying ok… you win…

"50 going once… going twice…" BAAM! The silver hedgehog slammed his wooden mallet on the table. "Sold for 50 Mobiums to the Vicomte Sonic! Thank you, sir. Here you are." Silver the Hedgehog thanked Sonic, handing him the blue Chaos Emerald.

"Lot 666…" Silver announced mysteriously, "is a huge chandelier that once hung beautifully from the ceiling of the marvelous theater, but fell and crashed during the strange affair of the Phantom Hedgehog of the Opera. It has been repaired, for example the candle lit lighting has been replaced with new electric light bulbs and supports have been added to avoid another treacherous fall. Perhaps if we enlighten the room with the chandelier, we will scare away the ghost of so many years ago…"

Cream and Sonic nervously looked at each other- their eyes filled with frightening memories of the past.

"Gentlemen." Silver said subtly as 3 men lifted a large sheet off of the chandelier. Automatically the new electric lights on it turned on as if they were haunted. A blue glow then surrounded the chandelier as Silver used his telepathic powers to lift it off of the ground and raise it high above everyone's heads.

Sonic looked around the old theater as the chandelier went up, and instead of seeing the dusty old, abandoned theater he saw today, he envisioned the beautiful, thriving Opera House as his flashback started to begin…
