Violet: Hi! Here's the second, and most likely last chapter in this story.

Kai: Enjoy.

Nergal grinned and figeted at the same time. He had his mask in place. It covered only half his face, but he wasn't wearing his glasses, making his eyes stand out more than they had before. People around him were dancing with their sweet hearts, smililing to each other knowingly.

Billy was there too, with Blandy. The two were dancing happily and staring into each others eyes, though it was likely that they just didn't know what to say or were thinking on how nice it would be to pick each others noses.

Mandy was yet to show up, which made Nergal nervous.

Suddenly, the front doors opened and in came a girl in a shimmering white dress and white mask. Her blonde hair bounced as she walked and her green eyes searched the gym for the one who'd asked her here. Nergal stepped forward and walked to her, smiling.

"My Christine." He said quietly, taking her hand into his and kissing it. The green eyes behind her mask twitched, showing she wasn't to fond of what he had done.

"Phantom." She said, nodding her head. "Just who are you?" Her hand went to his mask.

"W .. what are you doing?" He asked, holding his mask down.

"I know you know who I am, so it's only fair I know who you are." She told him, frowning now.

They both stared a moment before they turned to Billy, who was screaming as Blandy went to Grim and declared her love for him. Nergal stole away as Mandy had her head turned. When she looked back he had disappeared. She sighed and looked down at the floor, her fingers laced together behind her. She rubbed her thumb on the area Nergal had kissed and growled. 'He used me!' she thought, growing angry. She stalked off towards the hallway and stood in a dark corner, waiting.

----

Nergal was outside. Maybe he could get away, but then stopped. He couldn't do that to her. With a sigh, he began back towards the school. He opened the door and didn't see Mandy, so he began to panic. She left after he left her. He swore and walked out into the hallway, noticing Mandy out the corners of his eyes. He smiled, but the smile was quickily wiped from his face as Mandy strode to him and punched him, hard in the face.

"Don't ever speak to me again." She told him, before lifting her mask enough to spit at him then, take off. Nergal just stood there. He had destroyed his only chance to have Mandy as more than a friend. She'd probably figured it out ... that he was Phantom to her Christine. He backed up to the stairs and took the mask off before letting out a small sob.

----

Mandy growled all the way home, walking home in her dress, looking like a run away bride. How she hated him! She couldn't stand him now. On top of that, he'd ruined her favorite play. She ran up to her room and sat on her bed after kicking off her shoes and throwing her mask off. She glared at the floor, not knowing what else to do.

- Monday -

They were walking to school again, Mandy and Nergal. Mandy was yet to figure out Nergal was Phatom, she didn't think he'd do that to her.

"Mandy...?" Nergal asked, weary.

"Yes, Nergal?"

"What do you think about The Phantom of the Opera?" He asked shakily.

"I hate it!" She answered, raging already, just from the mention of the play. "There was this boy who asked me to the dance. He gave me a note that said -"

"So, be my Christine in a shimmering white dress and tear drop earrings." He quoted, thinking back to the note.

"Nergal ... How did you ...?" She looked at him with hurt eyes.

"I didn't mean to Mandy, I really didn't!" He said quickily. "Didn't think the mask was a big deal. I know I made it worse when I ran away, but then I came back to say sorry and show you but ..."

"I punched you and left before you had the chance." She sighed, recalling the events. She stopped, making Nergal stop and looked back to her. "Mandy .." He looked ready to break down.

She brought a hand to his face, looking ready to hit him. Instead of slapping or punching him, she just touched his face where the bruise was. She brought his face to hers and gave him a small peck on the cheek where the bruise was. He looked up to her and blushed at the smile she smiled. It was sweet and angelic.

"It's okay Nergal. I understand." She said, then kissed him on the lips. He put his arms around her waist and kissed back, smiling at the same time.

They didn't make it to school that day.

Violet: There yah go, that's it.

Kai: Review!
