A/n: ^_^ Is this soon enough for everyone? I do not speak French so please don't hurt me,it was taken from an online translator. I still own very little...though I do own Erik's last name...so I sort of own part of Erik,don't I? Aren't you all jealous now? ^_^ Btw,I'm giving Nadir a last name too. He deserves it. Oh,and Deirdre,Nadir will be coming back with the rest of the group. *grins* Now on with the story.
The 1980's had just hit,and Fate was seconds from ripping Erik,Christine,and Raoul apart. As usual,Christine stood between the two men as they fought. Fate didn't really care what they were bickering about this time,she only wished they'd shut up! "DO YOU THREE MIND?!" She roared,silencing the trio immediatley. "Thank you," Fate mumbled under her breath. They were expecting the last of their group, Nadir Kahlil. He had died some time ago,but Fate had not requested his prescence until recently. Erik,fortunatly,had no idea she was sending the former Daroga after him to watch the Phantom.
'Well with that temper of his..' Fate had thought to herself,then countered her own pattern with, 'Then again,Nadir isn't a pussy cat either....' A single curse in Persian was heard from outside her home as something thudded into the door. Erik froze and stared toward the doors,there was no way it could be,was there? Raoul took that time to decide trying to knock out Erik would be fun! Christine squeaked as Raoul dangled off his shoulders,a thin cord around his neck,only moments later. "Erik!" Fate snarled sharply as Raoul's head popped back to where it should be. Erik shrugged calmly and pulled his lasso back into his hand,rolled it up,then placed it in his coat pocket. "Erik.....be nice..." Christine cooed as she moved closer to him,her warm breath tickling his ear.
Fate rolled her eyes at the lovesick duo...and the unconcious Raoul still on the floor,as she opened the door,looking down at a slightly ruffled Nadir. "Hello there," She smiled calmly. He frowned up at her then gave her the strangest look,"Where am I?" A giggle,a humph,and a few well thought out words in French told him as Fate's smile widened slowly. "Oh Allah.." He whimpered softly. "What did I do to deserve this?" Fate chuckled and gently hauled him up to his feet,"Nothing my dear,dear friend. To make a long story short,I have Erik,Christine,and Raoul here,I needed you to complete the set." Nadir blinked at her,"We aren't collectibles,my lady." She shook her head,trying to hide her excitement,"No,you aren't. Though..." Fate shook her head,Nadir looked worried.

February-March,1982
"NO!!!"Erik screamed as he clung to the floor,his nails digging in. "I won't leave Christine again!" Fate growled under her breath and grabbed Erik by the hair,"You'll barely remember Christine Daae,Erik. You have to go back! Besides,she'll follow you soon! All of them will..." Christine sobbed into Raoul's chest as Nadir watched his friend sorrowfully. "Damn you Fate! I said NOOOOoooooooo" Erik's voice faded away as Fate tossed him back to Earth and pulled the ball of thread from another pouch on her waist. "Now...to weave him back in...." Fate searched for a short while before she found just the right place for him. A place in Fresenius,Texas,U.S.A....
"Congratulations,"came the voice of Mrs. Krista Edwards' doctor,Dr. Dinare."It's a boy." Krista's husband,Justin,leaned over as both of them gazed at their new fair haired son who squirmed softly in his mother's arms. "Anthony Christopher Edwards." Krista whispered softly,drawing a smile from Justin. "What a wonderful name for our first.."His soft voice whispered back. 'Christine...no...'Anthony thought as he tried to focus his eyes. 'I have to go...' His memory was slowly fading,he could still see Christine,but he no longer knew who she was...no longer remembered the Daroga,or Raoul..nothing..
Fate sighed as she glanced back at the still upset Christine. The young woman would be last out of the group to go..furthest from them all...she absently wondered how she would take it...
**************************************************************************************
November-December,1984
"But I never even got to see Rookheeya or Reza!" Nadir cried as Fate tried to shove him away. "You'll see them eventually!" She tried to sound encouraging...Zane owed her enough favors,she could get Reza and Rookheeya's souls for Nadir's incarnate's eventual wife and child. Christine wasn't effected this time whatsoever..she hadn't moved from the corner she sat in now since the day after Erik had left. She continued to whisper over and over again, "Venir derrière.....mon ange de musique....venir derrière..." Raoul was too concerned over his astranged lover to even grasp that Nadir was leaving them. With a final push,Nadir slid away back to Earth. Fate shook her head to herself...these people were more trouble than they were worth sometimes!
Just as Fate had arranged,Mitchell Jennings to be born at the exact hospital Anthony Edwards had been born at,less than 2 years earlier. They would meet later in life,as she entwined their threads silently,listening to Christine's non-stop mumbling,and become the best of friends,one looking after the other. Fate glanced down at the two,pre-cut threads at her waist then back to Christine and Raoul. The young diva would be alone very soon..or rather,she'd be alone with Fate. The two of them could get to know one another -quite- well..
***************************************************************************************
February-March,1985
"Look Christine,you have to let go of him." Fate glared at her as Raoul de Chagny and Christine Daae clung to each other for dear life..er...afterlife. "No!" Christine shook her head as tears fell from her cheeks. "I won't be alone! I won't let you seperate Raoul and I!" 'Won't let ME?!' Fate's eyes widened at the very thought. After all,there was no rule that said that little twit bitch HAD to go with them! "Raoul,let go of her. You're going to be born again,very soon. Do you really want the poor child to die because of you?" Fate tried to play on his sympathies. He was a bit more muscle than mind,but his heart was truly in the right place.
Raoul stepped toward Fate as Christine lunged for him,"I'm ready." His whisper stopped her dead in her tracks. "Raoul..."came a weak voice from behind the two of them. He turned and smiled at her,his warm eyes meeting her own as he kissed her briefly,"We'll be together again my beloved. I'm sure of it." Christine turned her head silently as she tried to keep from sobbing,at least until he had gone. Raoul smiled softly,placed a hand on her back for a moment then drifted,gently,back to Earth.
Fate shook her head slowly,shocked. Christine slumped to the floor and sniffed softly before breaking down at last. As the incarnate worked Raoul's thread back into the correct tapestry,she smiled. There would be nearly 3,000 miles between Christine and Raoul's incarnates,Anthony was far closer to the place she planned on putting Christine. She'd choose him when the time came. All would be right again.
The boy stared between his new parents from under nearly black hair,blinking slowly every now and then. "Isn't Raymond a cute little boy?"His mother,Catherine Alexander,asked her husband,James. Raoul's mind swam with thoughts of Christine,Erik..Fate..everything that had happened. Then it seemed to vanish..Raymond screamed. As did Christine.

"Alright Christine...it's time to go dear." Fate whispered softly,rousing the girl from her nap. She blinked up at Fate then sighed and curled up,shaking her head,"I don't wanna....I wanna rip Erik's and Raoul's threads out and bring them back here...." Fate frowned and picked her up,"To do that would be to destroy their souls,Christine. Do you really want to do that?" Slowly the brunette sat up and sighed,lowering her head,"No ma'm....but I miss them..and it'll be so long.." 'You don't have a clue,child.' Fate thought to herself as she helped the woman up.
"Are you ready..?" She asked as Christine stood on the brink between Fate's realm and the single plummeting step to Earth. Christine looked away from the edge and jumped. Fate smiled to herself and walked over to thread Christine into the tapestry as well. This would be quite interesting to watch...
In Knoxville,Tn,a tiny baby girl curled silently against her father's chest. "Welcome to the world Bethany Micheals.." He whispered as he kissed her forehead. Blue eyes flickered open to meet his own,she looked as if she were a female copy of the man. 'Bethany..?' The girl thought. 'But....' Her mind seemed to freeze...but not everything melted as it had with the boys. 'Raymond...' She thought as she drifted off to sleep.
