I had fun coming up with this. It's basically the PotO characters giving classes to little kids on how to act like...the PotO characters. In this partciular session Erik is teaching smaller versions of himself, inside a prop warehouse. Weird yes...but that is how my mind works. Enjoy!

Bonjour! And welcome to PotO 101! This is the class that will show your kids, don't ask why, how to be their very own phantom! Now, we have a professional teaching this certain class…The Phantom himself! disembodied applause is heard We REALLY need to fix that…

Erik: Welcome children, to my class. If you might have guessed I am-

Girl 1: Who are you?

Erik: Little girl, I was just about to say that I'm-

Girl 1: My name is not 'Little Girl'. It is Elizabeth. Now what's your name?

Erik: (flares up in anger…not literally though) I am the Phantom of the Opera! My name is Erik! (He calms down after a bit) Ahem…any more questions?

Each of the children stayed quiet, except for the noise that young Elizabeth was making while she was sucking her thumb. An older boy raised up his hand.

Boy 1: I have a question. Why are we in this useless class anyway? And why is a crazed psychotic murderer out teacher?

Erik leaned towards the boy.

Erik: And what is your name?

Boy 1: Elvin.

Erik: Well…Elvin, it would be best if you stop mumbling your words, so whenever you speak, people might understand what you say.

Erik counted the children and set them in a line.

Erik: Six. There are three girls and three boys.

Girl 2: Gee, thanks for pointing out the obvious.

Erik: It would be best if you don't back talk me. I still have my Punjab lasso…

Erik and Girl 2 (who will be named later on…) began to have a staring contest. Well, more so a glaring contest.

Girl 3: Can we please get on with this? I have a violin lesson later.

All children in unison: So do I! (that's a weird coincidence.)

Erik sighed and muttered something about paying a visit to the authoress. And it wouldn't be a pleasant one either…O-o;;

Erik: Fine, just tell me your name and age. (He began to rub his temples…poor Erik.)

Elizabeth was curling a piece of her blond hair with her finger with her free hand, while with the other…she was still sucking her thumb. She pulled it out in order to speak properly.

Girl 1: My name's Elizabeth and I am seven.

Elvin was next standing in line. He gave a huffed sigh and rolled his eyes, thinking, why am I here again?

Boy 1: In case you have already forgotten…I'm Elvin, and I am eleven years old.

Girl 2: My name is Edith. And I am 16 years old.

Boy 2: I'm Elroy. And seven years old am I.

Boy 3: Yes, indeed Yoda.

Girl 3: I'm…Elissa. And I'm eleven years old as well. Plus Elvin is my twin brother.

Erik: I pity you…

(Elvin sticks out his tongue at Erik)

The last child standing in line was a boy who was wearing glassed, and had his shaggy black hair over his eyes. He stayed silent.

Erik: We are wasting time. What is your name?

The boy mumbled a name that sounded familiar to Erik.

Erik: Come again?

Boy 3: My name…is…Eric.

Erik nodded. He decided not to ask the boy's age, besides he looked about Edith's age.

Erik: Now that that is out of the way, back to business. Today's class is to show you how to make the perfect 'whoosh' sound with your cape that you will be wearing from now on.

While he said this, a masked munchkin came into the room with six black capes, each a different size. The masked munchkin passed out the capes to each of the children.

Elissa: (having seeing the 2004 musical, she automatically recognized the masked munchkin.) Hey! Isn't that the munchkin that worked for Piangi?

Erik: Yes, but ever since Piangi…moved on to better things, he lost his job.

Elizabeth: What did Piangi move on to? (Aww…right now her face is supposed to look all innocent like.)

Erik: (ignoring her question) Now that we all have our capes, I want you to simply grab part of your cape, and swipe your arm up to your chin in a swift motion.

Elizabeth had her thumb back in her mouth, while she used her cape as a blanket. (Imagine her reincarnation of Linus from the Classic Peanuts.)

Erik: Elizabeth! Settle down and practice properly!

Edith tried the technique and came about with a 'swoosh' sound.

Erik: That was close Edith, but you moved the cape too slow.

Next Elvin tried and ended up with a 'crack!'

Erik: Careful boy! That is a cape, not a whip! Much too fast.

Elvin just rolled his eyes and continued practicing. After watching her brother try, it was Elissa's turn. She bit her lower lip when she heard a 'swish' instead.

Erik: Good, but not a 'whoosh'. Let me show you how it's done.

Erik stood straight and simply, in a split second, maneuvered a perfect 'whoosh' sound. Elissa, Edith, Elroy and Elizabeth clapped along with the creepy disembodied applause for Erik. Erik gave a slight bow and motioned for Eric to try.

Erik: Why don't you give it a go, Eric? I'm sure it won't be that bad.

Eric glanced up at Erik and shrugged. With a swift movement, he made his cape 'whoosh'.

Eric: There, I did it…happy?

Erik gave a slight smiled while the disembodied clapping continued. But it was silenced with a loud gong echoing throughout the warehouse.

Erik: It appears that this class is over. Keep on practicing your 'whooshing' skills. The capes are yours to keep, and I will see you allnext week!

The children groaned and walked out the door. Elvin was the last to leave.

Elvin: Freedom!

He yelled running out of the room, his cape making a 'whoosh' sound. The only sad part was that he didn't know that he had done it.

So each of the childrens name each began with the letter 'E'. Interesting. But I told you...smaller versions of Erik! R&R!
