Summary: In some alternate universe somewhere, Erik, Christine, Raoul, and Meg are all best friends who basically just hang out around the Opera house. It takes place in the 1870s like the book/musical, but they also have some modern stuff, like TVs and hair straighteners and cell phones and stuff like that. These are just random stories that involve the four friends and the "situations" they somehow get themselves into. I'll take ideas for random, strange things to happen to them. No flaming, constructive criticism only, please (if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anthing at all). So...yeah. Enjoy!
I don't own The Phantom of the Opera, I'm sorry to say. I do own any OCs that appear in the story, though. Oh snap!
Erik is seated at his organ, composing. The gondola comes into view through the tunnel carrying Raoul and Christine.
Raoul: I got the pizza!
Erik: Did you remember the Italian sausage?
Raoul: Yup, got it all right here.
Christine: Is Meg here yet? We didn't see her coming down.
Erik: No, I thought she was coming with you.
Meg (in the distance): Crap, where's the boat? HELLO? ARE YOU THERE? SEND THE BOAT BACK, PLEASE!
Erik gives Raoul and Christine a look as they come ashore. They shrug, embarrassed. Raoul sets the pizza box on a table.
Raoul: She was late.
Meg: HELLO?!
Christine: One second Meg, Erik's coming to get you!
Erik: Must I do everything?
Raoul: Your boat.
Erik sighs, climbs into the gondola, and poles away to get Meg. Christine goes to get plates from the kitchen. Raoul eyes the organ, and is about to press a key, when—
Erik: DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT TOUCHING THE ORGAN!
Raoul (thinking): How did he know what I was doing?!
Christine: I found the plates. Did you hear someone shouting just now?
Raoul: Uh, no. Not at all…maybe you should get your hearing checked.
…
Christine: I'm going to pretend you didn't just say that.
Raoul: Yeah, me too.
Erik and Meg sail through the tunnel on the gondola and dock at the stony bank. They climb out and join Raoul and Christine, and pizza is distributed among them.
Christine: Compose anything lately, Erik?
Erik: Actually, I was just working on—
Raoul: OH MY GOODNESS!
…
Erik (irritated): Yes?
Raoul: When I came this morning, there was this huge freakin' mob of phangirls from America. And you'll never guess who was on their shirts—
Erik: Who, dare I ask?
Raoul: CHRISTINE! With a huge, red X on her face!
Christine: WHAT?!?!
Meg: Oh, I remember them. Mom was giving them a tour of the building. They called themselves…the Christine Must Die Association.
Christine: That's awful!
Raoul: Oh, yeah, completely…do you think this pizza doesn't have enough sauce?
Erik: Yeah, I noticed that.
Meg: But they definitely make up for it in Erik's Italian sausage. (gives him a look)
Erik: Doesn't get much better than that.
Christine: PEOPLE, this is a CRISIS! What are we going to do?!
Raoul: Well, the first thing you should do is to quit whining—
He is interrupted when Christine jumps up and starts beating him with the pizza box, shouting all sorts of curses and profanities. Eventually (after he stops laughing), Erik grabs Christine around the waist and pulls her away. Meg is unable to do anything, because she's cracking up.
Erik: Everybody CALM DOWN!
Meg: I guess it's that time of the month again.
Raoul: I don't know, I'm kind of convinced it was the Italian sausage.
Everyone looks at Erik, who is chuckling.
Erik: It probably is. You'll never guess what one of the ingredients is—
Raoul: I don't care, just never do it again!
Suddenly, without warning, Christine seizes Erik by the collar and kisses him passionately. When she pulls away, her eyes are wild and she laughs maniacally. The room falls silent, (Erik looking quite flushed,) when all of a sudden, Christine jumps into the lake and starts a swim routine.
Meg: That was…really weird.
Raoul: I didn't know she could swim.
Erik: Why don't we stay away from the Italian sausage from now on?
Meg&Raoul: Here, here.
Christine runs up into the Lair, gives Erik's mannequin a hug, and then passes out dead on the floor. Erik, Meg, and Raoul all look at each other.
Meg: Well, I guess it's time to go.
Raoul: Yup, that was fun. We'll just take the gondola…
Erik: You do that. I'm off to…compose some more.
Meg and Raoul get into the gondola and pole down the tunnel. Erik stares at Christine for a few moments, then goes into the room with the piano and starts to play. Christine does not stir for another few hours, when she wakes up dazed and wondering where the crap she is, and why Erik clears his throat awkwardly when he sees her.
And that's chapter one. Review, plz!
