A/N: I hate my freakin' pop-up blocker! Lol. Anyway, my birthday is coming up this Friday. A good birthday present would be, like, so many reviews that I don't finish looking through them until next year or so!

Jealousy…On Tape:

Amanda went back to Erik's place as fast as her legs would carry her. She needed to be there before the couple for a bunch of reasons: for one, she had a special project she needed to accomplish if anyone was going to believe that she was actually here at one point in her life.

The labyrinth was so echoey that she could hear them singing, even when they were still in the top hallway. Much to Amanda's relief, Christine was still singing her first part, but she still needed to hussle. Dodging carefully around the musical mess that Erik had made when he fell over out of surprise, she went into her room, and snatched up the timer. "Okay, here goes," she barely breathed (Hey, its echoey!) as she typed in her request: "Red, funky video camera that's easy to work".

It appeared, this time on the bed, but as Amanda reached for it, a hand clasped her shoulder. "Oh shi-" she whispered as she whirled around, expecting to see Erik or Christine, but instead she found TK, an unhappy expression on her face. Lowering her voice, she made a short, but sharp speech.

"Hold on, there's a catch to this. First of all, you need to start whatever it is with Meg. Either that, or go back and fix it up. Second of all, you are required to watch everything that happens. Lastly, in order for you to tape this, I must take something away from you. You won't know until tomorrow." With that, she vanished, but her grip lingered for a few seconds before Amanda was able to move again.

"Whatever. I'll start tomorrow, okay TK?" she announced to the thin air. Right. Her voice seemed to fill the whole room and it came from nowhere, but, after all, she's practically God in a separate form, right?

As Amanda started wrapping up her musings, Christine was wrapping up her…um…singing…thing. Quickly grabbing the camera, flipping open the side screen, and hitting on, she crouched in the corner and waited for the right time.

After what seemed like an eternity, Erik flung off his cloak. Quickly, Amanda got into a good position where he couldn't see her (It's hard, but easy, since he's facing Amanda but his eyes are on flippin' Chrissy) and hit "Record".

The first few verses went on pretty well. It was Amanda's favorite song, but she wasn't at home; she couldn't yell frantic curses at Christine or laser-point her, or scream into and beat up a pillow, pretending that it was Christine's face. Instead, she pouted as she expertly followed Erik and Christine, and mused on how weird it was to listen to the song with no music and watch it all from one angle.

Uh…oh… she thought as they got dangerously close. They were in front of Erik's organ.

Amanda silently took a deep breath and watched, fury welling up inside her.

After the dreaded verse, she noticed that neither of them were watching her. She mouthed "Biotch!" to Christine and then did the old "read between the lines" trick. (A/N: If you don't know what this is, ask!) Before she knew it, Christine fainted, and Amanda's eyes widened. Taking care to keep the camera on the two, she quickly and quietly scuttled around and out of sight as Erik walked over and placed her on the bed. She stuck out her tongue and lasted the last few seconds. When Erik finally slunk away, Amanda pressed "Stop Recording" and turned the camera off. She grinned evilly. "No one will believe this," she whispered, going over to Christine and running a finger down her cheek.

XXXXX

The next morning, she woke up early and walked over to the mirror in the corner of the room. She gasped when she saw what she saw.

The left side of her face (as opposed to Erik's right) was a mirror image of his deformity. She smiled sadly and touched it, frowning slightly at how strangely soft it was compared to how rough it looked.

So that's what she meant….

A/N: :gasps: OMG! What a turning point! Sorry, but I couldn't leave you hanging! Besides, it would have gotten boring anyway…
