Disclaimer: I don't own Erik happy?

A/N: This has to be the shortest chapter I ever wrote for this story so I apologize for the shortness of it. This really has no significance to it so you're not missing anything. And a little head's up- next week is going to be really bad for me. I have dance rehearsals, dance recitals, and my History Final Exam so I won't get the next chapter up anytime soon. So please forgive me and perhaps if I get enough reviews I might post two chapters the next time I can.

Chapter 24- Lesson 10: Never Forget Important Dates

Stephanie racked her brain trying to figure out how she was to approach this to Erik. He, being a man, might be a bit offended what she was going to say, but it was important and she didn't want Erik's relationship to turn into her Uncle Steve and Aunt Vanessa's.

"All right Erik, I'm going to tell you this once and stress how important this is to women," she began.

He stood up in his seat, ready for this knowledge to be digested.

"Now, you guys will fight understand. It's part of a healthy relationship and all, but sometimes too many little ones can add up to a much larger one. For example, my Aunt and Uncle. My Aunt Vanessa is tired of her husband forgetting important dates like their anniversary, birthday, Christmas, and Valentine's. What I'm trying to say is that men can be forgetful, we know that, but sometimes too much can strain your lives."

"So what you're saying is to remember these dates and buy thoughtful gifts to show how much I appreciate my love?" he said. "Miss Larson, if I have Christine it shall be a cold day in Hell before I forget something so significant to my precious Angel."

"Just making sure. I guess that's it." She sighed. "And you might what to make it a point by telling her you love her everyday."

"I will each morning, afternoon, and night," he replied. "May I have some paper?"

"What for?"

He grinned devilishly. "I want to draw the Vicomte forgetting Christine's birthday and she hurdling a stone at his thick skull."

"Be my guest," Stephanie told him. "There's no use in stopping your mind from violent thoughts is there?"

"Hell no!"

TBC…

Yeah I know. A bit quirky but I had to have another Raoul bashing moment.
