EthanPrime21: Hug him alllll you want sweetie!

BamYurrDead: Lotte would most likely kill you, but I think your idea is soooo precious! Squee!

JediGreenGirl: You wriggle your eyebrows too much darling. Your part Lotte dear, all three of us are in lots of ways. Now stop wriggling your eyebrows! I updated cause you have been pestering me about it for the past few days

Maxniss Everide: Hehehe I can just see Erik playing COD. He would probably create a cheat that would let his character punjab others... *smirks* Oh where oh where could our Re-Erik be? Hmm...

Tessa16Ricci: Yep I saw Ramin in the movie and I squeed like crazy! I feel so sorry for Meg... Ugh, Bathing Beauty... *shudders*

Axelion the Vampire Phantom: Hehehehe, Erik would probably be like: 'Ok... Why does this strange man look like me but without a deformity? Why is Lotte rolling her eyes at the movie? Why is Erica and Rin drooling? AND WHY ON EARTH IS JEFF GOING FROM LOOKING AT ME TO THE SCREEN OVER AND OVER AGAIN?

crazyone256: Thank god it's not a school day yet! Can't you just picture all of these Phangirls running at Erik when they saw him? Heheheh...

PhantomWaffles: Till I hear you sing is good, But Music of the Night is BOSS. Goooostave thinks everything is soooo beautiful... *rolls her eyes* Re-Erik is happy that you didn't hate him. A little too happy me thinks. If he starts to stalk you, let me know RIGHT AWAY!

Chapter 38- Music time is FUN time!

"I am so sorry for all the craziness today, I bet it is very disorienting." Lotte and Erik held hands as they walked together in the mall, getting multiple stares from people. Erik didn't enjoy the looks, but Lotte was happy and that made him happy. Plus, since they ditched the others after eating, they were alone. After shopping at so many places with so many other people, drinking a strange concoction from a place called 'Jamba Juice', and simply being with people that he knew made Erik feel like he fitted in for once. The whole time, Lotte was by his side which made everything better.

"It is so strange here, but I would have off worse if it wasn't for you. I didn't like riding in that carriage that doesn't have horses though, or these strange pants that you call 'blue jeans' and made me wear."

"It's called a car dear, and most people wear jeans. Cheer up, I think you handsome with your black T-shirt, sneakers and blue jeans. " Lotte chuckled "And I had lots of fun teaching you everything that has happened since your time last night."

Indeed Lotte helped Erik start to become comfortable in her time era. After everyone left and Jeff went to sleep, Erik and Lotte went up to her bedroom. Lotte taught him about movies, money, cellphones, and what every else Erik hadn't learned from them in the 1870's. It was a long and confusing talk, but it prepared Erik for the strenuous shopping spree. He himself had enjoyed when she taught him how to use the camera on her cell phone and took a picture of them together. Erik squeezed her hand tighter, feeling the cold metal of the engagement ring on his skin. He enjoyed the sensation.

"Ah yes, a car, that's it's name. " He mused looking at the bright lights of shops that where called fluorescent light bulbs. They where much more advanced then the ones of his time. Lotte stopped in her tracks and tugged on his arm, making Erik halt too..

"Erik! You got to come into this store with me. It's a music store!" She pointed to a large store. You could see from the windows that it was filled with instruments and music book. The couple eagerly rushed in, excited at idea of new music. Erik was in awe at the sight. Lotte was the same way but dragged Erik deeper into the store. They soon where wandering the isles, hopelessly lost and looking at music books. Erik was mesmerized by a large stack of opera librettos. Lotte had to drag him away from all of them to show him the aisle that had showtune music books. Erik was looking thoughtfully at a music book for Sweeney Todd when Lotte smiled and picked up a thick music book. The title was Les Miserables. Erik looked slightly confused but took it from her, flipping the pages.

"It's a very good musical. Based off the book by Victor Hugo. Mom and I used to sing songs from it all the time..." Her voice drifted off as she thought about her mom.

"Sing this song," Erik demanded and shoved the book towards her. Lotte blinked in surprise and read the title of the song.

"Castle on a Cloud? Erik, this song is sung by a child. I don't think I can pull this off. It kind of relates to my childhood a little too much also..." Lotte tried to protest, but Erik wasn't swayed.

"Please!" He begged in a child like voice. Lotte sighed and rolled her eyes. She could never disobey him. Lotte loved him too much to refuse his request. She would do anything for him, even sing a song that she didn't want to sing in the first place. Finally she began to sing;

"There is a castle on a cloud, I like to go there in my sleep,

Aren't any floors for me to sweep, Not in my castle on a cloud.

There is a room that's full of toys, There are a hundred boys and girls,

Nobody shouts or talks too loud, Not in my castle on a cloud.

There is a lady all in white, Holds me and sings a lullaby,

She's nice to see and she's soft to touch, She says 'Cosette, I love you very much.'

I know a place where no one's lost, I know a place where no one cries,

Crying at all is not allowed, Not in my castle on a cloud..."

"Exquisite... You take my breath away." Erik happily sighed, his eyes shining. Lotte softly blushed from his praise.

"I have a very wonderful teacher who helped me. Maybe you know him? " Lotte said in a teasing tone, kissing him quickly on the lips. Erik took the book from her, setting it on the shelf.

"I'll be back soon dearest, I need to go to the mens restroom, but I don't know where it is."

"Most people call it the bathroom, Erik" She smiled "It's in the back, there is sign. See it?" Erik nodded and started to leave. He quickly turned around though and kissed her deeply Lotte wrapped her arms around him, making the kiss last longer. Erik skimmed her hair with his long fingers before he broke away.

"I'll be back, I promise!" Erik then dashed away. Lotte smiled at his quirkiness and went back to looking at music books. Her eyes light up as she saw it. It was a piano book for the Phantom of the Opera. Delighted, she picked it up. Lotte smiled as she looked at songs that she had jeard such as Think of Me and All I Ask of You. Her heart fluttered as she saw the title: The Music of tthe Night. As Lotte flipped the pages, she could hear someones footsteps. She ignored them at first, thinking belonged to a person passing by, but soon the footsteps got louder and closer to her.

"The Phantom of the Opera? Isn't that ironic that you chose that out of all the music books..." Lotte's eyes widened as she heard his voice. Oh god, not him... She slowly turned around to see him in a suit, a fedora partially hiding his mask, and a almost evil grin on his face.

"Mr. Masque..." Lotte faintly gasped at his closeness. He now was looming over her tall figure "What a surprise... "

"Indeed, it must be a small world after all." Masque grinned, delighted that he and Lotte were finally alone.

Luxa: Oh no I didn't! Oh wait, I did. HAHAHA! What will happen next? I can't tell you! It's so fun to keep everyone else in the dark. Hehehe... I hope you liked the chapter. Thank JediGreenGirl for making me get this chapter up. If it weren't for her, this would have been posted until Sunday... REVIEWS=WAFFLES! Peace out readers!
