The winner snow began to fall in the city. It was a cold Sunday afternoon, Jessica and Jennifer where outside playing into the snow, while Erik watched from above on the rooftop. Erik smiled as Jennifer hit Jessica in the back of the head. It had been nearly three months seen the girls started at the opera house. Down the street from them a couple of boys where in a cycle together laughing at something. Erik could not see from where he sat. All he saw was Jessica run forward scaring off the boy, her removing her cloak and putting over something on the ground then rushing back in the opera house. He rushed to the over hang of the stage. Below Madam Geri, and the girls where kneeling around something, he still could not see anything; the house on call vet was below. Was it an animal that Jessica had picked up? Erik left them be and went down to his home, and waited, Jessica and Jennifer would fill him in when the time came.
It was a little more then an hour before he heard the girls call from him from the deck together. When he got their, Jessica was holding something, had a smile on her face, and made Erik worried.
"What is that?" He pointed to the thing in Jessica's arm.
"A…" Jessica leaned in and whispered softly "…puppy…". Jessica waited for Erik reaction, so did Jennifer, they where going to see if he would help them depending on his reaction.
"A what?" Erik looked from Jessica to Jennifer then back. The girls moved closer together and look innocent, just then Jessica removed some of the cloak from the lump in her arms. It was a small white dog with a half his face black. Erik raised an eyebrow at them and looked at the door. The dog had blue eyes, and whined a little bit.
"A puppy, she needs a home Erik, Madam Geri won't let us keep her. Will you keep her for us…we will walk her and everything" They put their heads together, yes the dog too. And together went "Please….." Erik rolled his eyes and stood there thinking about it.
"Fine I'll take him BUT you have to walk him, not me" He sighed, "Does she have a name?"
"Will do, and her name is Phantom" Jessica smiled and set her in her boat and kisses Erik's cheek "I'll be back tomorrow"
