Another chapter coming right at ya! Enjoy!
After they purchased the swimsuits and they were in bags, the four "friends" stepped out of the shop. Erik sighed and glanced around. "What should we do now?"
"Well," Hilary said. "My friend, Lexy, here would love to take you to your room in the hotel.
A pretty girl came up to them. "Hello. I'm Lexy, and I'm going to take you to your room in the hotel." She began to walk and Raoul, Christine, Carlotta, and Erik all followed her. "You will be provided with twenty-four hour room service—Carlotta, free cleaning and laundry—Christine, a large in ground swimming pool—Erik, and a spa—Christine. We really thought that only Erik was coming but we just think that it's great that you're all here…" Lexy grinned evilly. "Though Raoul may not enjoy his stay here."
Raoul gulped.
"Please don't kill my husband. I love him." Christine begged.
"We know. If you HADN'T loved him, you would have chosen Erik—which would've been the smart thing to do." Lexy said through gritted teeth.
"I'm sorry, but can ve get on vith tingz?" Carlotta asked, annoyed.
"Sure, sorry." Lexy said.
She opened the doors to the hotel. "This is the Hotel PhanGirl. It is one of the best on the island—in fact, it's the only one on the island. I hope you enjoy your stay. Raoul, Christine—you're in the "FOP Room". Also known as Room 665. Carlotta, you're in the "DIVA Room". Also known as Room 667." Lexy turned to Erik. "You my dear are in the "PHANTOM Room. Also known as Room 666. We made sure that that was the room for you. It will now be fabled that Erik actually slept in the room and it will become famous… famous I tell you! MUAHAHAHAhahha…" Lexy trailed off, realizing she'd just really scared the group. "Sorry."
"That's okay." Erik said, "I know the feeling."
He glared at Christine.
Erik, Raoul, Christine, and Carlotta all walked up the stairs and down the halls until they came to Rooms 663-669. Erik found his room, and the other two found theirs moments later.
Raoul and Christine gasped as they walked into the room. The carpet was a soft mauve color and the walls were off-white wallpaper that was iridescent so it shimmered like pearl. There were also stripes of the same mauve going through the pearly paper. In the center of the room was a round bed that was suspended from the ceiling by real golden chains. There was a golden and crystal chandelier—that looked very familiar—hanging right in the center of the chains at the top of the ceiling as well. The bed was about nine feet from the center, and was a perfect circle. The bed was bedded with mauve sheets and off-white down comforter. Raoul immediately jumped onto the bed and relaxed.
"This is the most comfortable bed I've ever been on in my life. We should get one of these for our home." He said.
Christine continued to explore the room. She found the off white dresser to be quite appealing, and the walk in closet to be just marvelous. Then she went and joined Raoul on the bed. "This is much better than sleeping in a tent." She commented.

Carlotta entered her room as well. She fell in love immediately. On the floor there was a royal purple carpet, and on the walls there was gold leafing pressed onto swirling images that looked like a golden frost. It was perfect for her. At the end of her room there was a king sized canopy bed that was draped in golden gossamer curtains. She spread them and jumped onto the purple comforter. She was shocked to see the real golden spun sheets and down pillows. Carlotta tried to keep her eyes open. She looked at the ceiling in the center of the room and saw a large chandelier—that looked familiar—that was golden and had crystals hanging off of it.
"'Dis is 'eaven." She breathed.

Erik's eyes widened as he walked into his room. The walls were painted an iridescent black color, so they seemed almost to shimmer. On the floor there was a gray carpet that you sank about thirty feet into when you stepped on it (exaggeration). In the center of the room, against a wall was a king sized bed that also had a canopy and gossamer curtains. Erik sighed and split the curtains. He gasped and couldn't help but stifle a chuckle. On his bed was a life-sized cutout of Christine! Erik rolled his eyes and took it off of the bed.
After setting it on the floor, he explored the bed some more. Silvery material was the gossamer curtain, and the bed's material was a rich black painted wood. The sheets were the same silver as the curtains, and the bedspread was black. On the pillow there was a crimson rose tied with a black ribbon.
Erik loved his room so much. These Phans really knew how to please!

After everyone was completely settled in, the girls announced something into the intercom. "Attention Phantom Characters. We will be heading down to the beach shortly, so if you would just get your clothing on so we can get down there as soon as possible, that would be wonderful. Thank you!"
The intercom buzzed off. Erik jumped out of bed and pulled on his new swimsuit. It was nicely folded in his drawer. Somehow the Phans had managed to get all of the new clothing that they'd bought back to the hotel before they'd arrived.
When he was closing his drawer, Erik noticed something white. It was goggles! These weren't just any goggles though; it was a half mask with goggles attached. Erik chuckled. How considerate. He took off his normal everyday mask and put it into the drawer. Picking up the new one, he put it on. The elastic strand around the back made the contraption fit nicely, and Erik was positive that there was not way they'd fall off.
Erik also found a note in his drawer.
Erik:
These goggles
should make swimming a lot more fun. They have "Anti-Fog" on them
and they're air tight. I hope that they work well for you!
Hilary, Aislin, and Lexy
(Plus all the other girls too)
Erik laughed. He couldn't wait to go swimming.
There. How was that? Tell me what you think. Oh, and if you'd like your name to be mentioned in it, just tell me. Thanks! RR!
