**************************************************************************** *******************
(*After a fifteen-minute trek through LaGuardia Airport, they finally make it out through the arrival gate. Now they have to get a cab*)
Elizabeth: Woot! Snow!! Yipee!! *Goes to jump in the 3 foot snow that has accumulated after the plane's landing*
Erik & Nadir: *Grab on to either arm and restrain her*
Elizabeth: *Whimpers when she sees Nadir, but then realizes Erik is also holding her, so she perks up* ^_^
Erik & Nadir: *Have to carry her between them while they walk*
Raoul: *Skips along next to Christine, humming* I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts...de-de-le-de-de...There they are a-standing in a row-
Erik: *Manages to pull out Punjab lasso with free hand, and brandishes it menacingly*
Raoul: Eeep! *Thinks...again...* *Sings* It's a small world after all! It's a small world after all!
Erik: Gahh!!! Shut up!!
Raoul: *Giggles, then proceeds to sing "Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend" in a high falsetto* A kiss on the hand may be quite continental, but diamonds are a girl's best friend!
Erik: *Twitches, and tries to lasso Raoul*
Raoul: *Dodges Punjab lasso, and continues singing to himself, keeping distance between him and Erik*
Elizabeth: *Wriggles free and runs to the curb, trying to hail a taxicab* Oy!! Oy you! Over here!!! *Waves hand in the air* OY, STUPID!! Over 'ere!!!
Raoul: *Sees people walking across the street, decides to try too, so he walks across- right when a taxi is coming*
Taxi: *Comes to a screeching halt, narrowly avoiding hitting Raoul*
Meg: *Wide-eyed* Wow...
Elizabeth: *Climbing into the cab* Huh...never thought of that...
Erik: *Following her* Because you're not stupid enough to do something so idiotic.
Elizabeth: Oh yeah! ^_^
Christine: *Hops into cab, dragging Raoul and Meg with her*
Cabbie: Where to?
Elizabeth: The Edison Hotel, please. *Hands him money*
Cabbie: O-kay. *Guns up cab again and drives*
Nadir: *From outside of the cab* WAAAIIITTT!!! YOU FORGOT MEEE!!!!!!
Meg: Did you hear something?
Elizabeth: What, you mean besides the voices in my head?
Meg: Yes, I- *Stops, looks at her oddly, then continues* I know I definitely heard something...
Nadir: *Runs to catch up with the cab, and grabs on to the rear bumper, hanging on for dear life* *His turban flies off of his head* Hey!! I HATE MY LIIIIIFFFEEEEE!!!!!
(*Five minutes later*)
Raoul: *Sings* Ninety-nine bottles of beer on the wall! Ninety-nine bottle of beer! Take one down- Pass it around! Ninety-eight bottles of beer on the wall! Ninety-eight bottles of beer on the wall! Ninety-eight bottles of beer! Take one down- Pass it around! Ninety-seven bottles of beer on the wall!
(*Ten minutes later*)
Raoul: Sixty bottles of beer on the wall!
Elizabeth: *Blinks, hums "Carpe Noctem"* You gotta curse the day! It's nothing but a merciless night! So open up your arms, and then you get down on your knees! You suck in all the darkness and you're ready now to seize! Seize the night! ...Seize the night! *Hums the chorus to "Carpe Noctem"*
(*Ten minutes later*)
Raoul: Thirty-five bottles of beer on the wall! Thirty-five bottles of beer!
Erik: *Twitches spasmodically*... Gah...
(*Five minutes later*)
Raoul: Eleven bottles of beer on the wall, eleven bottles of beer! Take one down- Pass it around-
Erik: SHUT UP!!!! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, SHUT UP!!!
Raoul: Meep! *Shrinks back in his seat* Don'tkillme! Iwon'tdoitagain!
Erik: Yeah right...
Taxicab: *Pulls up in front of the Edison Hotel*
Everyone: *Get out of the cab*
Meg: *Walks around to the back of the cab* Ooohhhh!! Hi, Persian!!
Nadir: *Groans, pushes himself up from his place on the ground* Ow...thirteen miles...from the airport to here...I've been on the back bumper...*groans*
Meg: *Proudly* See? I told you I heard something!!
Elizabeth: Y'know...I never even noticed he was missing in the first place...
Nadir: *Sarcastically* Oh it's so nice to know I'm loved...
Elizabeth: C'mon! Let's get checked in. I've got something planned for us afterward, seeing as I filched my dad's money...*Counts money* Whoo...that's a lot of cash...Hehehe...
Meg: *Sticking her foot in the snow for no good reason* I'm cold...
Christine: Y-y-y-y-yeah...Brrr...l-l-l-let's go inside...I'm f-f-f-freezing out here...*shivers*
Elizabeth: Well, you go outside in New York in a white dressing gown and under-dress from 1880-something, Paris France...of course yer gonna be cold!
Christine: *Shivers*
Elizabeth: All right, let's go inside. Besides, we have to be on time for what I have planned!
Erik: Oh, the sheer joy of it all...
Elizabeth: I'm pretending I didn't hear that, Erik...besides, I think it's something you'll rather enjoy...
Erik: *Perks up* ^_^ Really?
Elizabeth: Yup.
Erik: Okay then!
Elizabeth: Right...get the fop...
Raoul: *Is running in circles with head back and his mouth open, trying to catch snowflakes on his tongue, scaring random people in the process*
Random New Yorker: What tha hell?
Random New Yorker's Dad: Why, in my day-
Random New Yorker: Please dad, not here...I want to get as far away from that mental hospital escapee as possible...
Random New Yorker's Dad: Hey! I only escaped once, I'll have you know...and they haven't caught me yet...
Random New Yorker: Not you, ya old coot! I- oh, forget it...*They walk away as quickly as possible*
Erik: Come here, you little deranged fop, you...*Pulls out a net*

Erik: I'll have you know, I'm wearing black! *Chases after him with the net* No one disses the outfit!! No one!! You'll have to deal with the Phantom of the Opera!! *Laughs maniacally*
Elizabeth: -_- *Muttering to herself, watching Erik* ...Chasing someone around with a net...referring to self in the third person...laughing like an escaped mental hospital patient...no, Ma, I'm not crazy; my friends are just freaks...
Erik: *Comes back, dragging Raoul, who is caught in the net, with him* Okay. Let us go inside.
(*They all go inside the hotel. Once inside, they go about trying to warm up*)
Meg: *Has all but frozen from being outside for a while* Brrr...brrr...brrrrrrrrrrr *Shivers*
Raoul: *Is still in the net, and has begun poking Erik, for lack of better things to do* Hehehehehe....
Erik: -_- *raises an eyebrow* Stop. *Drops him on the floor*
Raoul: *Stands up and continues to poke him* ^_^
Erik: *Snaps* STOP IT RIGHT NOW, DAMMIT!! *Seethes, twitching*
