I've been watching walkthroughs from 123pazu on Youtube about the 2 Mystery Legends. Well 3 if you added Sleepy Hollow, which is only available on PC for some reason, and I thought there should be fan fictions about these 2 games. Well to my surprise I found 2 of them from Mystery Legends: Phantom of the Opera, and also to my surprise their been on hiatus for a number of years. If you know latefortea and Spaztasticallymuffinlisious please talk to them on continuing their Mystery Legends fanfics. They're really good cause I've read them hundreds of times and I hope one day they can continue with their stories one day, or at least if they want to stop, continue until their stories are done. Well on to my Mystery Legends fanfic and this time I'm using BOTH Mystery Legends games. For the divider there's going to be time after the game and then a year long stay on both. Hope you guys can fallow that incase the chapters are not obvious cause to me it's easier this way then BAM into the next game. You need a good build up sometimes.

In a nice Condo in San Jose, California, and young 23 year old lady came in through her front door. Her name was Ariel Belladonna. She was born on March 4, 1991 and was living with her parents at the time. Mostly cause she's in college as a part-time student and she's also a librarian at the city's library and even though her job has good pay, she couldn't really afford a house yet. Mostly cause market was in a mess at the time, but even if that's a minor set back, she loved her condo she calls a home. As a student she hopes to get her AA degree for teaching so she can be a permanent librarian. She works part time there because since she was little, she would volunteer for her class, in elementary, to be the student librarian. She loved the job so much she wanted to be one. Sadly when she was in Middle and High school she couldn't work at her schools since her parents signed her up for after school choir. Though to their defense Ariel loves to sing to the point she can memorize a song and sing it for months on end. You can argue that her calling was either singing or being a librarian but luckily, thanks to her learning disability, which is minor by doctor standers, she knows how to balance her talents and hobbies. Anyway, Ariel was considered an arty student since sometimes to study she would put the lessons in songs and sing them to herself or to help her friends with studding. It would work at times, but only up to maintain her B+ average. After school she would go to her job where she help put books away, check out books, and assist if any of the visitors were there. Another reason why she loves the library is because her boss would aloud her to take books home without a card, most of the time, and she can read them. Of course in the beginning Ariel nearly abused that privilege when she would bring 4 books home instead of 2. Well after being scolded by her parents and had to pay a hefty fee, she got herself a card and only check out 2 books once a week. Most of the books she would read were mystery books, horror books, and comedy books, but her favorite topic was romance books. Not romance like Romeo and Juliet but more like 'don't judge a book by it's cover' books. Her 2 favorite stories of that topic was 'Phantom of the Opera' and 'Beauty and the Beast'. Ariel was a huge fan of those stories and their adaptation. Granted she doesn't know EVERY adaptation of the 2 stories but that doesn't stop her from doing research. Under the topic of 'Phantom of the Opera' she only adaptation that she loves the most was the 1925 or 29 version with Lon Chaney, because it's more based off the book, and the 2004 version based off the musical, because it's more visual then the play version. As for plays, she loves the one from Japan with the all girl cast and all boy cast, mostly from 2004. As for Beauty and the Beast, her favorite adaptation are the 1946 French film, the 1952 Russian animation film called 'The Scarlet Flower', and of course the Disney version of the story. Somehow those 2 stories are her favorite because at times she feels like Erik and the Beast. She wasn't a Barbie beauty queen; she is considered a curvy plain Jane. What do you mean by curvy you ask, well she's only 5'3 in height and only 145 pounds. To some docs and mean girls, that's wither curvy or fat. Yet she doesn't mind it. She's happy with the way she looked with her brown hair brown eye and even her glasses. Heck if you want to go nit-pick on deformity 3 of her fingers are a slightly crooked and her feet are always on a diagonal outward when she walks and runs. But unlike Erik and Beast, she doesn't mind them at all. Well back to the story

Ariel arrived home a bit tired then usual since it was the end of the school semester for her. Finally no more test, no more homework, no more tearing out hair, just fun. And what does she do for fun, she reads, sing, draw and writes like any woman in her 20s, most of the time. As Ariel locked the door, she went to the kitchen to get something to eat and then sat down in the couch in the living room. "Thank God Mrs. Getty gave me the summer off from work." she says. She went into her backpack and got out her laptop and turns it on.

As it loads her mom, Margie, came down stairs from playing a match 3 game on the computer upstairs. "Hey honey, how was your day?" she asked.

Ariel responded. "Gracias a Dios por el verano(Thank God for summertime)"

Her mom laughed a bit. "I see your Spanish is going well."

Ariel replied, "Well if I speak it in Japanese you wouldn't understand it."

Mom brushed it off. "Yeah yeah."

Ariel said, "I'm serious. The last time I said 'mina' which is Japanese for everyone, you thought I was talking about uncle Marco. The only word you know is 'baka' because you watched the Ten Commandments and laugh when I told you what it means."

Mom shook her head. "Whatever."

Ariel rolled her eyes and opened her BigFish Game manager on her MAC laptop. As she scrolled her list of games she asked, "When's daddy coming home?"

Her mom replied, "He said he's getting off at 4:30 today so he'll be home around 5 or 5:30."

Ariel muttered, "His bosses are a bunch of asses." Her dad was a mailman and lately his route has been all over the place to the point he has to get an iphone and had to look up tutorials on youtube.

Mom said, "Shut it." Her mom on the other hand has retired from the AT&T phone company back in when Ariel was in middle school and it backfired on her cause when Ariel turned 16 her mom refused to teach her how to drive a car and now she's sort of her taxi driver to take her to school since Ariel doesn't know how to drive. Why not to Ariel's job is because it's a walking distance to the place that only takes a half hour to get to. "So game night tonight to celebrate the first day of summer?"

Ariel said, "Sort of I'm just playing some solitaire and then I'm going to read my 2 favorite books. After that I'm going to do an all nighters and play my 2 favorite games based off my favorite books."

Mom sat down next to her. "Ahh Le Fantôme de l'Opéra and La Belle et la Bête. You really love those stories huh?"

Ariel said, "Well I read the Swan Lake stories including the different endings, but this is more up my ally. Besides there's no games from them yet from BlueTeaGames or Eipix yet. Though I still don't understand why people hate Belle."

Mom asked, "What's the argument?"

"That Belle is suffering from Stockholm syndrome. Which my argument is: how long did Belle stay with the Beast until she went home?" said Ariel.

Mom said, "Good point. Any argument on the Phantom?"

Ariel said, "Not really but I have one. My argument is that Christine lead Erik on over the years."

Mom asked, "Meaning?"

Ariel said, "Like after she saw his face or when I'm sure he took her to his lair multiple times, off screen, instead of gently rejecting him and stay friends with him, she lead him on and humiliate him in his own opera. No wonder in 'Love Never Dies' Raoul ended up as a drunk."

Mom said, "But she had a baby boy."

Ariel said, "Who's is Erik's during an affair and didn't tell him for 10 long years. Despite the beautiful women playing her in every adaptation, Christine is a bitch."

Mom laughed said, "I wouldn't say that about her. She's stupid at times but I wouldn't call her that. Is there one adaptation where she was?"

Ariel thought back for a minute and said, "The 1983 version she was."

Mom asked, "What about the game version you have?"

Ariel said, "You're mistaken her for Evelina, her daughter. And I can't give her a full profile since me, as the player, is controlling her every move. So all the puzzles I get done fast, it's not from her, it's from me. Also PlayPond never really made a sequel of the game yet and I don't think they ever will."

Mom then asked, "Is that the same reason for when you play Belle?"

Ariel said, "Not all the time. I use visual to fight the enchantress. For example, if I had a bad day as school or at work, I use their faces on that body and beat her to a pulp Harry Potter style." Ariel finished with her game and got out her 2 books.

Mom said, "Final question: why not buy your own book instead of renting them?"

Ariel said, "If the library had any ebooks and not paperback then the oldie but a goody would be dead and gone like Vaudeville and if we buy books, it'll be a hassle to get more books on a budget."

Mom said, "Can't argue with that since ebooks can't do large print like the books."

Ariel said, "That and the bright screen might ruin the eyes more then we know. Also both stories are on my game anyway." She opened her first book, Phantom of the Opera. "Now if you excuse me I'm going to go into my little world now. The same you go to from morning to tonight." She took off her glasses, which she can't wear while reading and being on the computer, and started to read. Her mom patted her knee and turned the TV to watch her shows. Her phantom book was the original from Gaston Leroux. She read the other 3 phantom novels but it didn't had the spark the original had. For Susan Kay, she tried to say that Erik was real, but in her defense it was a good story and 2 great plays. For Nicholas Meyer, he was basically trying to rip off Sherlock Holmes. And Forsyth's book was more crazier then Kays and got some haters here and there. She read them of course but not her forte. It wasn't until 2 hours later Ariel finished her Phantom book and started to read her Beauty and the Beast book. Her book was basically a collection of all the Beauty and the Beast stories over the years. Not the famous ones like Beastly or the others you can find on wiki, but more of the short stories like 'Little Broom-stick' and such. Though she did love reading the Donna Jo Napoli version when she was in high school before choir practice. "I almost forgot, what's for dinner?"

Mom flipped through the channels and said, "Well I had a great idea after we saw Julie/Julia. Why not recreate one of Julia Child's famous foods?"

Ariel looked up from her book, looked at her mom and smiled widely. "I'll get the cook book." She put the library card in the book, to mark her place, and ran to the kitchen to get the cookbook, Mastering the Art of French Cooking. She opened he book and looked through the pages. "What should we make?"

Her mom looked over her shoulder and spotted one. "How about Sauté de Boeuf à la Bourguignonne?"

Ariel asked, "Can we make it time?"

Mom said, "With 2 women we'll get it done." After that conversation, the 2 women to work. As they were cooking and preparing her mom asked, "Why sing a song to pass by the time."

Ariel giggled. "Alright." Then thought up a perfect tune. "Just whistle while you work. And cheerfully together we can tidy up the place. So hum a merry tune. It won't take long when there's a song to help you set the pace. And as you sweep the room, Imagine that the broom is someone that you love. And soon you'll find you're dancing to the tune." As the 2 cooked, Ariel continued to sing the song.

Mom said, "I swear you almost sound like Adriana Caselotti. Have you tried Julie Andrews yet?"

Ariel replied, "I can't really hit her high notes but when I do I have to change it to a different note so my throat won't hurt. For example if I do her number from Victor/Victoria, on the last note as the dame, I have to go a note higher so it won't crack. Besides, I'm more of normal singing, not opera singing. The last time I tried I went mute remember?"

Mom said, "Well that was my fault. I told you to go opera when you were in CATZ and you only had that one performance before you were fired cause you couldn't sing anymore."

Ariel said, "But I can still make glass break and bottle corks shoot." The 2 laughed.

As soon as they were done cooking, her dad, Danny, came in. Her mom went to him. "Hey honey. How was your day?" She took the book lunch box of his shoulder.

He replied, "Long but fun."

Ariel asked, "The wolf was with you again?"

He said, "Despite them locking the gate, he gets out and helps me out. You know he stopped a small yappy dog giving me a headache when he put his head on his back."

Mom said, "Well the wolf is basically telling him, I can eat you."

Ariel put the food on the table. "Well dinner's ready, so before you 2 fight over money and bills, let's eat."

Once her father put his coat away and put the mail on top of his cooler/lunchbox he sat down with the other 2 and all started to eat dinner. As they ate, Danny asked, "So how was school and work?"

Ariel said, "Well I finally finished finals so I'm going to wait a few days to see what I got. One more class and then I can graduate. As for work, it was pretty slow but once it noon we got the usual costumers."

Mom said, "It's a good thing you classes start at 7 in the morning so you can go to work for the rest of the day."

Ariel said, "That and my classes are on Mondays and Wednesdays."

Her dad asked, "Any plans tonight?"

Ariel replied, "A game all nighters so I don't want the computer upstairs until about 9 an I probably won't go to bed until 3 or 4."

Her mom asked, "You know all nighters mean from 7 to 7. A full 12 hours right?"

Ariel said, "Yeah but it'll be a pain to get rid of the dark circles under my eyes. Speaking of which I need I eye roller back dad."

Her dad nearly spits out his food. "How did you know I have it?"

Ariel said, "When we arrived at Louisiana and went to L'Auberge casino, we didn't get our rooms for another 2 hours, the shower wasn't working, the machines were rigged, and the only satisfaction we have is cheap food at a fancy restaurant. Now when we came home 3 days later I swear to God you looked like a raccoon and the next morning my eye roller was missing."

Her dad rolled his eyes. "It's in the bathroom in out room. You need to lay off detective games and books."

Ariel said, "Don't blame me, blame genetics. Mom's more into detective stories then me."

Mom said, "She beat you their hon. The only thing she got from you was comedy jokes."

Dad said, "Yeah and the last time we made you laugh, coffee squirted out of your nose."

Ariel said, "Thank God it was cold."

That night after dinner, Ariel continued reading her book in the living room while she heard her parents arguing about the bills. Mostly cell-phone bills and how they're not getting a discount cause of Margie's retirement. "If only the crash didn't happened. It was Bush's final 'fuck you' that Obama has to clean up." she said to herself. She finally had enough of the noise and put the earphone of her ipod on and put on some music. It was mostly Disney music, music from musicals, 90s music, and a big chunk of it was Japanese music, either Vocaloid or classic music translated into Japanese. After about an hour, when Ariel's ears were about to hurt, her parents came down. Ariel looked at her watch and said, "Well 5 til 9. A new record. You 2 done or what?"

Her mom said, "Now we're done. You can take it." She went to the couch and turned on the TV.

Ariel closed her book and asked, "Every bill done?"

Her dad replied, "Everything is paid off and we no longer have the timeshare." he sat on the couch exhausted.

Ariel went up the stairs. "Told you we're going to pay for it after a few years. If only we grabbed it sooner."

Her mom muttered, "If that happened, people would think we were scammed."

Ariel arrived in the computer room, opened it's game manager and started to play her 2 games. Yesterday it was Dark Parables marathon; this time was Mystery Legends marathon. In order she would play Phantom of the opera, Beauty and the Beast and then she would go online to watch the walkthrough of Sleepy Hollow. As a game reviewer on the weekends, she can't give that game a grade since she has a MAC and it is only available on PCs. But seeing the walkthrough a few time she can understand why. Plus she already has one from another game company and it's more based off of Tim Burton movie then the actual legend. When it hit about 10 that night, Ariel already changed into her pjs and went back to the computer to play the games again. She has a small secret about why she loves those 2 games other then the being fans of the story. As far as she knows, it's the only game series that has an accuracy point other then some of Elephant games and Ariel was known for clicking on the wrong items every once in a while and when that happens she had to delete her profile, sign in again and start all over again. The only time it's okay to make a mistake is when she plays the bonus games. So with her big collection of games, she saves Mystery Legends for last. Soon it hit midnight and Ariel felt tired. "I don't think I can do an all nighters tonight. Luckily I just finished the bonus game on Phantom." She exited the game, turn off the game manager, and turned off the computer. She then got up and then turned off the light and went to her room, which was next to hers. She then went to bed and went to sleep. About a half hour later Ariel saw a light turned on. She opened her eyes and saw it was coming from the computer room. "What the hell?." She got up and went to the computer room and saw the computer was turning on. "I just turned you off." She went to the chair, moved her glasses up to the top of her head and waited for the screen to pop up so she can turn it off again. After it did, and just before she touched the mouse, the game manager turned on as well as 'pages', a writing program similar to Microsoft. Ariel rubbed her eyes. "Did I forget to turn off the apps?" Just then words appeared on the blank sheet.

'I am searching for someone to share an adventure.' it said.

Ariel looked at it confused. "I must of wrote a Hobbit line or something." she said.

Then it typed again. 'Well you read Lord of the Ring and Hobbit fanfic, how do you think I should've started?'

Ariel then wide-eyed. "Did I take my medicine before I went to bed?" she asked herself.

Then it typed, 'No you're not going through a crazy night, but you are needed.'

Ariel took a breath and said, "Alright I'll bite. What do you need me for? For all I know you're a hacker from Anonymous.'

'My name is Count Philippe Georges Marie de Chagny a brother of a man named Raoul.' it said.

Ariel froze for a bit and then said, "I need to unplug this."

Just when she was about to touch the plug, she heard a noise and a voice. "NO NO NO! DON"T UNPLUG THE COMPUTER!" Ariel then slowly looked up at the screen and saw the words went away and symbols on the keyboard keys were typing fast in forming of a face of a man. She was about to scream when Philippe said, "Don't scream! Let me explain everything please!" Ariel then slowly went to the chair and sat down. "Now listen to me, everything you know about the phantom, from characters to plot, to music, mostly from this Webber dude, it's all true."

Ariel said, "Naw naw naw. Bullshit. I'm going nuts. I forgot to take me pill and I'm going through a crazy night like always. The Phantom of the Opera is fiction. If it is real why is there no record of Christine and Raoul?"

Philippe said, "They died in 1919. I think by now their stone are probably dust or you didn't do hard enough research. But that's besides the point. I need you help, or more importantly, Christine needs your help."

Ariel said, "Alright. What for? Am I going to play matchmaker and get her and Erik together? No offence dude but I'm one of those members that are anti-Christine."

He replied, "And I don't really blame you at times. Anyway like I said she needs your help."

Ariel asked, "What is it?"

Philippe said, "Her daughter, Evaline, is going to get kidnapped by Erik she you need to take her place. Maybe with you there you can soften his heart."

Ariel asked, "But why me? Why not any other phantom-phans?"

He replied, "Because you and him are the same. Maybe not in appearance but in a way I think you know."

Ariel let out a breath. "You got me there. So I'm only helping the Phantom?"

He replied, "That and it's possible that you might go into another world but that's up to my partner to decide?"

She asked, "Who's your partner?"

He replied, "I can't tell you that. At least not of yet. So will you help?"

Ariel said, "Well I'm going to feel like other Mary-Sues in fanficions but I'll give it a shot." She then looked down at her clothes. "Can I at least change first?"

He simply said, "No." Then he moved the cursor over to the game and clicked on the play button. After it load instead of going to the main-menu screen the purple vortex appeared and sucked Ariel out of the room and into the computer. Once she was gone the computer turned off.
