HI! Sorry its taken me so long to update. I've been so busy with the musical, and decided to take a "Vacation" from PhanGirl Island! LOL! Here is another update! Enjoy!
Kara
"No Erik. I absolutely refuse to go on that ride with you." Christine said firmly. Carlotta backed her up and Raoul fainted on the ground.
"But—who will go with me then?" Erik whimpered.
Just then Hilary came skipping up behind them. "I will! What are you riding?"
"Oh, just the Scream of Death." Erik said casually.
Hilary gulped. She hated drops. In fact, she hated roller coasters. "The Scream of Death… um… okay…"
Anything to spend time with Erik… Hilary thought.
"I'm going to go get my friends Kara, Aislin, and Lexy to come with us. Be right back! Go get in line awhile!" Hilary ran off toward a group of girls.
"All right." Erik said.
He waved to his companions and ran off to the Scream of Death. Within minutes Hilary and her friends were there with him. "Wow." The girl Kara commented. "I've only ever ridden on the Talon at Dorney Park. This is exciting!"
Hilary shuddered.
It didn't take long until they were all boarding the coaster. This was because everybody else thought it was insane to ride on this ride. The park was losing more money off it than they were gaining. Hopefully the fact that Erik was riding it would help, thought the person who ran the ride.
Erik got on. The seats were five across and there were seven rows. The thing was that it was a superman type ride and your rode on your stomach—horizontally. So you can easily see the ground.
Kara handed her glasses to the ride attendant and asked them to keep them safe for her. As the ride pulled out, Hilary began to whimper. The order was as follows, starting from the right: Erik, Hilary, Kara, Aislin, and Lexy.
The first drop wasn't so bad; it was just to get them going. Hilary's stomach dropped, Erik grinned, Kara grinned, and Aislin and Lexy looked at each other and grinned. Then they went around a loop. Then there came the slow climb to the top of the hill. 1,900 feet later, they were all a bit bored—except for Hilary who was about to get off the ride before it went over the edge.
GOODBYE!
The sign disappeared as the friends went over the edge. This wasn't only a drop; this was a triple helix with a vertical drop at the bottom. Hilary closed her eyes. She felt so insecure just floating there.
When the ride finally came to a stop, Hilary was relieved. When the newly acquainted "friends" stepped off the coaster—and Kara got her glasses back—they all laughed… except for Hilary, who looked green.
"That was so awesome!" Erik exclaimed.
Just then the person who ran the ride came up to Erik panting. "Can you…" she gasped. "Sign this for me, Erik?" she paused. "And put Phantom of the Opera underneath your signature."
Erik, though confused, took the paper and signed it as the woman had instructed. The woman smiled. She went back to her station and scanned the signature into her computer. Then she printed it out huge. Going to the front of the ride, she pasted the signature onto the existing sign that she'd put up only moments ago.
THE PHANTOM RODE THIS RIDE!
Are you as brave as me? If you're truly
a PhanGirl, then you must ride this ride!
It is so awesome!
Erik
The Phantom of the Opera
Within minutes the line was spilling out into the walk area. The ride technician sighed in contentment. This had to mean a raise.
Erik's high from the cleansing fluid came late that night as he was dirty dancing with a random girl—who he was pretty sure was named Katie—that had walked into the bar.
"Um…" Erik said, as Katie danced. He stopped dancing immediately and pulled away.
As he collapsed into bed, he thought about the day. Oh how interesting. He couldn't wait til tomorrow!
The next morning, as Erik ate breakfast, he thought about what to do. Just then a scrap of paper caught his eye. "YUOLIN SPA!"
Erik picked it up and read it, his mouth curving into a smile. "CHRISTINE, CARLOTTA, RAOUL? We're going to the spa today!" he exclaimed.
