WASSUP? It's only been a full year since I published the first installment in this loverly, fantabulous trilogy. XD

Strangely, it is set exactly a year into the future. Pretty much no characters have been changed or removed (save for three key ones), so you can just run over to the old Writer's Block to look for character stuffs.

Keep in mind that if you dive into the series now, only a bit of it will sound even mildly explained to you. YOU MUST READ THE FIRST WRITER'S BLOCK BEFORE READING THIS ONE. I'm not trying to boost my stats and reviews; I'm trying to reduce the number of "OMG WTF IS HAPPENING AAAAH" reviews I get for this puppy. So have fun. X3

Disclaimer: I don't own Phantom of the Opera or Corpse Bride OR the different movie which will be in here. The only characters that are mine are the original characters explained in the first WB installment. I own myself, and all of the other people in the town/school own themselves because they are real people.

Scuff, scuff, scuff, scuff…

Pink and black boots shuffled along the bluish-green carpet quietly, their owner not wishing to pick them up. A DDR song whispered from the earphones perched inside sensitive ears, connected to a pink iPod mini sitting inside a brown corduroy coat. Brown eyes scanned over the crowd of 6th, 7th, and 8th graders rushing past her, chatting aimlessly about nothing.

The girl sighed tiredly, suppressing a large, long yawn as she fingered a shimmery orange pumpkin dangling from a matching orange chain around her neck. Another Monday, another long line of schoolwork, questions about where she got that unusual necklace of hers…

Another day farther away from what had happened.

She looked down slowly as she reached her locker, her numb fingers working the combination quickly as she tried to grasp exactly what had gone on a year ago, but failed. The memories were all blurry and faded, replaced by a friendship shattering, a crush bouncing about her thoughts, the end of school, and several new fanfictions.

Damn. SMU hasn't been updated in forever. Same with Candlelight, and Two…double damn!

The girl dropped her stuff inside quickly, picked up her books with a great heave, slammed her Axel-themed locker closed, and walked into her homeroom, greeted cheerfully by the Spanish teacher and her French teacher. She said hello in both languages like a good girl should, and walked out of the room.

Yep, another Monday for Pebbles the Wise.

Meanwhile, a long way away, time stood stock-still, save for two figures moving about in the darkness.

"Errrriiik." Amanda drawled his name out slowly, trying to get attention from the masked man who was looking around corners, looking for any sign of life besides themselves. She crossed her arms when he didn't answer.

"Shouldn't we be looking for Mr. Chicken and Ms. Little?"

Erik snorted. "Little? I'll be damned if she's small."

"She's younger than we are."

He turned to face her, putting a finger over her lips in order to quiet her down. "That's besides the point. We aren't her superiors."

"Ew...Xemnas…"

"…who?"

She shook her head as she pointed in front of her at the sound of footsteps. "I'll explain later."

"I'm quite cold. Do you have a coat?"

"The heck with you, I've only got a T-shirt!"

Victor squeaked as they moved through the purplish mist, staring in horror at the frozen, faceless figures, standing stock still like dolls. "Aren't you cold in just that?"

"Mebbe." Cricket held a backwards pinky to her O-shaped mouth.

"This is no time for-"

Suddenly a black and orange shape flew at them, screaming, "YOUR FACE!"

Both of the stop-motion styled figures fell over in fright, Cricket yelling, "REGAL BUTT! REGAL BUTT!" for no reason.

Amanda withdrew her bow and arrow. "Regal butt? …oh, Regal butt! I REMEMBER THAT!"

Erik crossed his arms over Victor's body, not even bothering to help the young boy scramble to his feet. "Regal…butt?"

Cricket and Amanda exchanged glances. "It's what you say when you can't think of how to react or what to say."

Victor stood shakily, his knees wobbling. "How…"

"Long story." Amanda grabbed Cricket and Victor's hands and dragged them in the direction that they were walking in. "We must leave. NAOW!"

Regal butt. Please don't ask.

I can hardly remember how that came to be…even though it started at the beginning of this month or something. XD

And have you noticed that Holli and Willy are absent? ;3
