Epilogue: Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again:

The lonliness that envocked Meg after Erik's passing was becoming too much to bear. She tried to go back to singing, but every time she opened her mouth to sing, flashs of Erik's teachings ran through her mind. So, she stopped singing, and went back to dancing.

As Meg went back to dancing, her eyes could not help but gaze up at Box Five. She would feel Erik's presence, and every now and then, she swear she saw him out of the corner of her eye. The younger Giry usually shook the feeling away, because she knew that her beloved was really gone.

One day as Meg was practicing with the other girls, her mother came out to speak with them. She was not alone. The new managers of the House had joined her. "Girls, I have an announcement to make," Madame Giry told them. "Thanks to these fine gentlemen, we are pleased to inform you that we will host a new teacher in this House."

The girls started to talk about this news at once. They went quiet when Giry silenced them. "One of Scotland's best known singers will be arriving in the next few days. When he gets here, I want you all to be on your best behavior. Some of you will have the honor of taking his classes." the Madame paused for a brief moment, before finishing up her statement: "Now, back to doing your warm ups, I must speak with the managers. We will start class shortly."

Meg watched as her mother wonder off with the managers of the Opera House. The girls could do nothing but talk of this new teacher. The younger Giry listened as they all claimed they would take his classes. Meg would be the only one who would not take this gentlemen's class. She did not want another teacher...

The day had arrived when the teacher appeared. While the other girls flocked to meet him, Meg retreated to her room. She stayed their until nightfall. The younger Giry soon found herself falling to sleep. Sleep over took her, images of Erik haunted her mind once again.

Nights were the hardest on Meg. She was use to having Erik by her side. The younger Giry went to turn to hold him, and awoke to find that he was not there. She tried to go back to sleep. As she went to close her eyes a second time, a familiar song filled the walls of her room.

Meg bolted up. Erik's presence was stronger then she had ever felt. She got up from her bed, and went to find him. Meg knew her Angel had returned...

The younger Giry walked quietly through the Opera House. She stopped when she came upon Christine's room. She opened the large doors and entered. It was here that The Phantom first revealed himself to Christine Da'ae.

Meg looked into the mirror. She was shocked to see the mirror had been slightly opened. The sound of a male's voice rang through the dark halls to her ears. She walked closer to the mirror and peered into the darkness.

The younger Giry gasped as she saw a familiar face appear before her. "Erik!" she cried out. "Erik!"

The Phantom started to made his way down the halls of the catacombs. He beckoned Meg to follow. The younger Giry did not hesitate, she obeyed...

As Meg descended deeper into the darkness, she noticed that Erik's image was starting to fade. "Erik...?"

One more turn, and her beloved was gone. "NO! Don't go!"

The song got louder as she drew near the Phantom's lair. She stopped for a moment. The voice of the owner sounded so familiar. Then it hit her, "ERIK! she cried out once more. She was finally in the underground home. "ERIK!"

Meg smiled. In just moments, she knew she would run into his arms. However, as she reached her desitation, she sadly learned that it was not her beloved at all...

The singer stopped and turned around to face Meg. Meg let her eyes gaze over him. He was a handsome young man. The gentlemen stood at a great height, had soft blue, dark hair, and wore the latest fashion.

"I did not mean to disturb you, I thought you were someone else." Meg replied to the gentleman with a bow.

"Forgive me, but what is a young lady such as your self in this place?"

"I heard you singing." answered the younger Giry. "And if I may so, you sing lovely."

"Thank you." the young man told her.

The gentleman approached Meg. "Forgive my rudeness, but have we met before? You seem very familiar to me."

Meg answered: "I do not think so." All though, the younger Giry understood what he was saying. There was a sense of familiarity with him as well.

"May I have your name?"

"Meg Giry."

"Ah, that is why you are so familiar. You have the beauty of your mother." said the young man. "I met her today upon my arrival."

"Then you are the new singing teacher?"

"That would be correct." he answered. "Do you sing?"

"I use to, but no longer."

"You should never try to hide your gift." Meg could not help but smile as he said that. The gentlemen noticed her smile and asked: "Why do you smile so?"

"You remind me of someone." answered Meg, thinking of Erik. "May I ask what you are doing down here?"

"Madame Giry showed me this wonderful place." the gentlemen answered. "The aucustics are amazing."

"Yes, they are." said Meg.

"Well, Meg Giry, I must part." the gentleman stated. "I have an early morning." he extended his hand out to her.

Meg took his hand within hers. A smile came across her face as she gazed into his eyes. The young man looked at her the same way Erik once had.

"Perhaps we have met in another lifetime." said the young man as he parted from her. "I hope I will see you in my classes."

The younger Giry watched as he vanished from her site. Tears filled her eyes. He was so much like the man she had once loved, but it could not be possible, or could it?

Meg turned to the spot where Erik had fallen to his death. She gasped at what she saw there. She ran to that spot and knelt down. She could not belive what she saw before her.

A white rose lay at her feet.

Meg took the flower within her hand. She brought it up to her nose and took in it's wonderful sent. The tears flowed from her eyes. The white rose had been a symbol of their love. A love that would live on forever.

The Angel of Music had returned.

FINALE

Author's Notes: There you have it! The finale page to this wonderful story! I hope all the Erik lovers are happy with me now, and yes that was Erik, just in a different form. You see, I had Raoul kill the Phantom so he could go to Heaven as he longed to. Then I had Erik "reborn" in a way so he could be with Meg. Does that make sense what so ever? LOL! I think it does. This chapter was slightly inspired by another musical called: "Rigoletto". It's very similar to POTO. So, if you like POTO, I would suggest you go rent it. It's great, but sad, bring tissues! LOL! Anywhoo: if you haven't guessed all ready the Scottish teacher is basically Gerry Butler. I acutally wanted to name this character that but then it would be considered and actor fic and those aren't alloud. So, a little Gerry tribute right there, again! LOL!

And may I also bring you my finale reviewer shout-outs, well at least for this story anyway! LOL!
