Capitola Six

"Excellent!" Erika cried. "Wonderful! Radiant! Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to knock you out with the ridiculously oversized hammer!"

Erika hefted a large hammer, and smacked Christopher. She laid him unconsious on the couch and went to her mini-stage. She started working out a new routine.

When Christopher woke up, he groaned and held his head.

"I don't remember anything!" he moaned. "I'll go ask that strange, masked woman over there. Hmm, wonder why she's dancing?"

Christopher skipped over to the woman, still dazed by the hammer.

"Um, excuse me? Er, I seem to find myself in a weird place I've never seen before? Mind helping me a bit?"

"Oh, good Christopher. You're awake. Now, let's work on your plies, they need some work."

"But…"

"If you do well, I'll give you some candy." Erika swung a bag of chocolate in his face.

"Okey-dokey!" Christopher hummed and skipped on the stage with Erika. He was still experiencing some side effects of the hammer.

Christopher tripped and knocked into Erika.

"Oopsy-daisy," he said as Erika's mask fell off. "Wow, you're hot."

"AAaaEEEEeeIIiiii!" Erika shreiked. "Don't look at me! Don't look at my face! My horrible, horrible face! AAAaaaaaHHHHhhhhhhhh!"

"Uhh," Christopher said. "Have you looked in a mirror lately? You're kinda the hottest girl I ever met."

"Get out of here!" Erika screamed. "Never look at my horrible face again!"

Christopher scrambled to get back to his room.

"Wait till I tell Matthew about this!" he squealed happily.
