Oh noes. School tomorrow.

But my friends are there! And Dorky!

"I can't believe I gave up my room for some Swedish retard."

Erik snorted, watching the four as they ate. "She's not a retard, as you call it. She's just...naive."

Seth looked up at the ceiling as he took a sip of milk. "We're in for a surprise, then."

Kristen snatched the potatoes away from Mike as soon as he was done with them and started piling the rest on her plate. "In the movie she was a sl-"

Amanda kicked her under the table and hissed, "Shh! Nobody knows that yet! Although you make a fine point, Kristen, may I remind you that it was YOU who turned Music of the Night into some perverted lame-fest! I'm afraid to show the movie to Mike now! Seth is fine, though-"

Seth looked at her sideways as he finished the remains of his food. "I won't like it..."

"You'll like the part when Gerik kills Buquet, though."

Erik's head snapped up. "Who is Gerik?"

"Movie version of you. He's really sexy and turns the story upside down, but I think he's cool."

Erik threw his hands up into the air. "Is there something I'm missing?"

"Welll...you're not fashion-missing, you're not brain-missing, and you're not petname-missing."

"I have a petname?"

"Sure! It's ErBear!"

Kristen, Seth, and Mike broke into hysterics, wiping the tears from their eyes as Seth asked, "You don't have a petname for me, right?"

Amanda's eyes lit up. "Not really, but you have a variety of nicknames."

Kristen giggled. "Dairy Queen..."

There was a knock at the door. Erik bolted out of his seat, strode over, and opened it.

Nobody there.

He started to close it when he saw a small pile of possesions at his feet. A note in black ink read "From the Authoress. Take what is yours."

Erik shrugged, but the kids at the door thought otherwise. With gasps of delight from the boys and squeals from the girls, they all bent down to pick up their stuff.

Amanda's possesions included her LSB blanket, her laptop with a charger, and her half-finished copy of "Pretties".

Kristen's possesions included three stuffed dogs, a picture of her own dog, and her iPod with speakers.

(These last two are as accurate as I could get.) Seth's stuff included books. A bazillion books. Too many to count. And some paper and pencils.

Mike's possesions included his cellphone, a special charger for his Nano, and his laptop. (I THINK he has one.)

There was also some black facepaint and self-powering computer speakers lying in the bunch.

As Amanda draped her blanket over her head and started making cooing noises, Erik said, "I am off to the gala to watch and to pick up Miss Daae, but you are free to take any more food from the kitchen or to play the piano. PLEASE do not make a mess or touch any of my possesions. May I ask you the favor of cleaning up the dishes? Yes? Good! Enjoy yourselves."

As soon as he closed the door to the house, all was silent. Amanda looked down at her laptop and said, "Let's blast some music through the house and THEN root through the kitchen and play the piano!" The kids cheered, and she set her laptop down on a nearby table and booted it up, connecting it to the speakers as she went. There was no Internet, so she went straight to iTunes and opened it, selected her party mix, and blasted "Barbie Girl" loudly. Meanwhile, Seth and Mike were looking through the kitchen. Seth let out a triumphant shout and came back holding some chocolate cake over his head, much to the excitement of the rest of the group.

As he was walking up to the surface, Erik got a bad feeling about what was happening at his house.

--------------

Quietly Erik rowed Christine through the dark waters of the lake, his eyes upon her. Christine didn't look too happy, seeing as she was being taken from the place she knew best. As they approached the door, Erik caught the sounds of some bass thumping and someone speaking, although it was to the music somehow.

"Please, no...," he whispered as he docked, helped Christine out, and opened the door.

He saw the computer hooked up to the speakers, with the sounds coming out of them. Out of curiosity, he walked over to the screen and looked at it. There was an extensive list of songs there, along with blue scrollbars and buttons. He reached for the device to turn it off, but as soon as his hands touched the mouse, the song stopped. Stepping back and shrugging, he turned to Christine and crossed his arms, waiting for a response from her.

"Who are you?" she asked, her eyes widening in fright.

"Don't be afraid, Christine, you are in no danger..." She lunged for the mask, but he turned his head so that it became out of her reach. "...so long as you do not touch the mask." He put her in a chair and knelt before her, falling silent. Christine, utterly confused, just sat there, staring at him.

After a few minutes, though, something in dark colors streaked out of his bedroom. Looking up, Erik saw brown eyes looking at him innocently through square glasses, the rest of her face shrouded in the LSB blanket and her head hooded by it. She clutched the blanket closed over her, and Erik could see that a deep purple blanket was tied around her waist to hide her legs and that she was twitching. She was quickly followed by two others, both dressed similarily, although one had a blue hood and a black skirt while another had a red hood and a white skirt.

The leader looked from one to the other, and then spoke in a strange voice. "We are the Knights who say Ni!"

The others started making ni-ing noises while Christine and Erik stared, dumbfounded.

The brown eyes slid to Christine, and she pointed an accusing finger at her. "YOU must bring us...a shrubbery!"

"A shrubbereeeeeee!" squeaked the others.

Erik, annoyed, ripped the hood off of the leader, and saw none other than Amanda, her eyes glazed with a wild look and her face covered in chocolate. Snorting, he did the same to the others, finding that one was Kristen and one was Mike, both looking crazy and covered in chocolate.

His eyes widened. "Christine, these are my...other...guests..."

Suddenly the door slammed open again, and Seth, his face also smeared and his hair messy, came out on all fours like Gollum. He scrambled over on his hands and feet and took their hoods from them with his mouth, retreating over to a dark corner. He stroked them and grinned eerily. "My...precioussss..."

(HAHA, WOW. I'm sorry, Seth. xD)

Christine was, by now, very scared, and Amanda noticed the look in Erik's eyes. "Knights who say Ni and pet n00b...away!"

They all retreated into Erik's room, where they were hiding until Christine fell asleep. After a while Kristen ran out, retrieved the speakers and computer, and went back inside.
