(Heh... heh... heh... heh...heh...heh...I am really going to enjoy writting this chappie, really really really really really really really enjoy. Heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, I am so excited to write this. It makes me happy for some sick and odd reason. I don't know why though. Anywayz, as I might have mentioned in the last chappie, somewhere in there, I really think that Erik should not be with Christine, he should be with me or at least I wish. But I really think that in reality my phanphic has no purpose what-so-ever. So really there is no reason for me to write it, but since I am having so much fun, I will continue to write, and for the sake of all my readers who want to know what happens next. MWHAHHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA! Okay I am done now. Hope you all enjoy.)

Scene 18: A Quick Dip in the Lake

When Erik awoke, Christine was no longer beside him. He heard her humming, and went to look for her. He didn't mean to be

spying on her, but when he found her she was in the lake and all of her clothes were on the shore. Erik stood with his back

flat against the wall, and cranned his head around the corner. Christine pulled the ribbon from her hair and bent over to wet

her hair down. (A/N: Erik does not see anything for all of those who are concerned about that matter. He doesn't get to see

anything...yet. Heh...heh...heh, okay back to the story.) Erik watched her for a short moment more and then turned to

leave Christine with what privacy she had left. He would end up telling her, just later. A few minutes later Christine came into

the room still humming and pulling her hair up in the ribbon she had taken from her hair earlier.

"Ohh good, your awake." she said climbing into his arms, Erik loved the way she always seemed to find the right way to fit in his arms.

"How long have I been sleeping?" Erik asked in a confused voice.

"Not very long." She said looking up at him.

"Good."

"Why don't you sleep?" Christine asked turning around to face him.

"There is no time for sleep." He said his voice becoming very serious.

"Well that is the first and last thing that has got to go. I don't know if I could stand it to not have you with me when I fall asleep at night."

Erik looked at her blankly for a second and then smiled.

"I might be able to adjust to that over time, if you can make so many adjustments, I can make at least one. But there is something I need to tell you. Since we said we were going to be honest with each other, then you need to know that I saw you while you were out in the lake I woke up and I saw you, but I didn't leave as soon as I should have, I kind of watched you with you knowing." Erik told Christine without pausing at all.

Christine smiled and said nothing at all. She simply snuggled into his arms and closed her eyes as she listened to the steady beat Eriks heart.
