Okay, decided I couldn't leave you hanging too long. haha..I'm mean, first lying about how the last chapter was longer(sorry, i thought it was) then leaving a dangerous little cliff hanger like that. I know. I'm terrible.

But except this as an apology.
Sorry for the spelling errors. Yep. That's it. Enjoy!

Erik shifted uncomfortably. This was difficult. But he had to do it, and now was the time. He looked into her eyes.

"Monique…this...this is really hard for me to tell you. I have been—"Erik was interrupted by a loud calling. Someone was called out the name "Fawn". Monique gasped.

"Erik, that's Vachel! He…he was have followed me down here! I'm so sorry, but I must get him out of here!" she said panicking. Erik was frightened as well. But he wanted to still be bold. He needed to be; he had been acting like a petty fool for too long. He grabbed Monique by the arm, and held her close. She looked up at him in bewilderment. He took a deep breath, and kissed her.

Monique eyes widened in surprise; she did not really expect to do this so sudden, and to do it in there curtain situation. She also didn't expect him to be so good at it either…

He pulled back and looked at her. She was disgusted; that was a good sign. She looked at him softly, and gave him a nervous smile. Erik could feel himself growing anxious. She backed away from him a little.

"Erik, I would have returned the favor, but I cannot have that ignorant fool running about your cave! If he were to find you, you…you would be taken away." She said sadly. She raced up to him and kissed his cheek, having to stand on his toes to do so though. Then she got closer to his ear.

"We can finish this…'conversation' later." She said teasingly. Erik's eyes widened and gave a mischievous smile. She returned the same smile, and ran off to look for Vachel.

"Fawn! Fawn, are you here!" Vachel squeaked out scarily. He was alone, in the dark. He continued to look around, confused and scared as ever, only to fail at finding any light. He began breathing harder.

Monique sat him circling a pillar looking scared and confused. She shook her head at his idiocy.

"I'm right here, Vachel. Let me take you back, and then you must explain to me why you followed me." She said grabbing him by the ear. He yelped and obediently followed her out of the darkness.

When they reached the light, Monique let go of his ear, but shoved him out of the darkness. He began to trip over his feet, but recovered. He panted a little, and turned to her.

"Oh thank goodness you found me, dearest Fawn!" he said suddenly clinging to her. She stood there for a moment, and then tried to get out of his grip. With her struggles, he only held on tighter. She let out a frustrated sigh.

"Vachel, get off now." She said angrily. She started to knee him in the chest, each hurting more. He finally let go when she reached at least six. He looked up at her.

"Why did you follow me?" she asked trying to calm herself. He shrugged.

"You didn't look like you were busy, so I just wanted to talk to the one I love." He said happily. Her facial expression remained.

"Please leave. And do not follow me any longer, Vachel. Its quite irritating." She told him sternly. He nodded. He smiled, and waved as he left. She let out a deep sigh.

'I hate how I have to be nice to that fool. I must…if I were to tell him the truth now; he wouldn't be able to cooperate for the play. I don't like to lead people on, but…Vachel is an idiot. So I can't say I feel terribly horrible.' She thought to herself.

She turned back to the hidden door. 'Now…to continue an unfinished conversation.' She thought to herself.

Erik couldn't be more pleased. He thought for sure she was going to tell him something terrible. He was only happy for a moment.

He had a thought. He realized…she hadn't even seen him without his mask. What would happen when that time came? Will she leave him and run off with that pathetic moron?

Well…he better make the memories last while they can, then.
