A/N –

Hehehehehehehe. I'm so flipping moody at the moment. I'm pissed because of two of my friends. One of my friends yelled at me and yelling makes me want to cry. The other friend is just mentioning things from our first fight, which was a few weeks ago. Otherwise I'm good. MEEP! ((Earlier))

Now, I'm at the school library with my insane friends who want to say some things…

Hayley- Hiya! Amber is like the best friend anyone could have! Not even kidding! I love Amber! In a straight way of course! Read the story and review. Review it good! Bye, bye!

Happy birthday Jennifer!

Editors note ((Lizzy wizzy. My dear friend)): (hiss) don't call me that! It burns! IT BURNS!

Disclaimer- don't own POTO…now at least. I LOVE ERIC! PHAN GIRLS BACK OFF HE'S ALL MINE! Lol.

Baby sitting syndromes and a lunatic moose

Chapter 7

"Oh my god how adorable and kawaii!" Amber screamed at the little girl, before lunging at her giving her a bear hug. Ambers giggles suddenly stopped and she jumped back from the girl screaming "SHE BIT ME!"

"Sorry. I should have warned you. Our little sister doesn't like strangers that much…or anyone that giggles, gives hugs, and thinks she's adorable." Alex says sighing.

"Oh." Amber says, nurturing her red and bitten hand. "WAIT YOU HAVE A LITTLE SISTER?" Amber yelled, realizing what he said seconds later, surprised. "Yes."

"Let me kiss that for you." Chase says, taking her hand before she could protest and kissed it softly where she was bitten, shutting her up before she could talk again. Her face was crimson red.

Liz and Tiff made gagging faces while Jeron and Nathan snickered. Jennifer blushed at this and said silently aloud "I wish Alex would do that to me." Well, she wished that only until his little sister kicked Amber's shin hard and stuck her tongue out.

"Oh, and she also doesn't like other girls around us might I add." Chase says trying not to laugh as Amber cursed in every language she knew while he held her up.

Alex chuckled and shook his head. "Are you not supposed to be with your nanny Kristin? Mrs. Granger I believe her name was?" Chase asks still holding Amber up. Kristin shook her heard head with a little pout.

"I don't believe that Krissy." Alex says shaking his head, picking her up and setting her on his shoulders.

"I fired her yesterday." She says, setting her small head on top of his.

"Oh. Didn't mother tell you that you are not allowed to do that any more?" Alex asks with a small smile.

"I don't remember." She says with a pout again.

"You don't? Maybe tickling you will bring back your forgotten memory?" Alex says tickling her gently. She giggled, and tried swatting his hand away. Tiffiny, Liz, Nathan, and Jeron watched still a little surprised, while Amber kicked Chase for trying to tickle her.

"Alex, would you care to stay and watch practice?" Chase asks.

"Why, that would be wonderful." Alex says, nodding with a smile.

"Amber, follow me. I need you to do something, to make up for your friends' mess." Chase says suddenly, walking behind some clothes racks.

"Alright." Amber says, following confused.

Then a slap was heard. Alex winced knowingly.

"YOU DARE THINK I WOULD EVER WEAR SOMETHING LIKE THAT? I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE FLIPPING CONTRACT! I AM NOT YOUR MAID AND WILL NOT DRESS LIKE ONE!" Amber screamed at the top of her lungs.

"I did not mean it in any-" He was cut off.

"Shut your bloody mouth up before I shut it out for you, permanently!" Amber screamed at him again.

"LISTEN HERE I OWN YOU UNTIL I CHOOSE NOT TO! YOU WILL DRESS AS I SAY, AND I SAY WANT YOU TO WEAR THIS!" He yells, with equal force, back.

"YEAH RIGHT! I'M SO VERY SCARED. CHASE IS YELLING AT ME! IM GOING TO CRY!" She yells sarcastically back at him.

Amber stormed out from behind the rack and slammed the costume room door shut behind her loudly. Chase, grabbing a dress, stormed after her with an evil smirk.

"Damn. If looks could kill he would have been dead on the spot. Fortunate for him." Liz says, letting her eye twitch.

"Wait up. We have a contract. I demand you wear this." Chase says, making his French accent enhance his anger, grabbing her arm with a smirk.

"They'll be taking snowboarding and swimming lessons in Hell before I put that little article of clothing on." Amber says, turning to him with a glare.

"Well you better enjoy swimming and snowboarding, cause you will be going there one day." Chase says, shoving the dress at her. "And, I can assure you, if you don't follow my orders."

"No you can't. Forcing a girl into a skimpy outfit can be considered sexual harassment." Amber says, crossing her arms.

"Not with my connections." He says into her ear before leaving.

Amber glowered, turned on her heel, and went to change.

Chase entered the costume room and found destruction. Jennifer was on the ground, besides a large fallen clothes rack, wearing Christine Daae's necklace. Krissy was in the corner, rocking back and forth pale. Alex was besides Jennifer, in shock. Liz was sipping Dr. Pepper with Tiffiny besides her in shock. And last, but never least, Nathan and Jeron were tied up.

"Que dans le monde s'est produit dans ici? ((What in the world has happened in here?))" Chase asked in French to Alex who responded, "singe." ((Monkey))

Jennifer understood the one word and said, trying to get up, "A small creepy insane monkey suddenly hopped on top of the rack making weird noises, knocked it over, and then terrorized us." Alex helped her up with a small smile. She blushed and clung to his arm.

"A monkey…you mean that monkey?" Chase asks pointing to the small fury Japanese monkey behind Jennifer.

"GAH!" She screamed jumping into Alex's arms frightened.

((She has been terrified of monkeys since she was little))

Alex smiled at Chase who rolled his eyes jealous.

"What is a small Japanese monkey doing in…FRANCE?" Liz said yelling out the countries name for emphasis.

"I can explain that." Mai says from the costume door that was slightly ajar. Chase glared at her as the monkey ran to her.

"Don't even Mai. I don't care. Just don't leave it in this room." She nodded, with a small smile, and left.

"Now…can someone please clean this mess up while I talk with my brother?" Chase asks, crossing his arms with a sigh, his usual happy mood gone.

'Stupid playboy MAN WHORE,' Amber thought as she walked backstage to the costume room. She was now out of her clothes, except her converses ((those aren't clothes though)) and in a short black skirt with a thick lacy under skirt and a tight spaghetti strap top with lace around the edge. She was also wearing a tight black choker with a small lace cross.

She threw open the door and found Chase and Alex in front of her. She glared at Chase, who smirked. "I will be right back." He says, walking past her with Alex. Nathan cracked up laughing. Jeron and Liz sniggered while Tiffiny and Jennifer twitched.

Amber glared at them and then blinked at the mess before her. "What the hell happened?" Amber asks raising her eyebrows.

"A monkey happened." Jennifer says.

"A monkey?" Amber asks, tilting her head to the side.

"Yeah. A Japanese monkey to be exact."

"And where did this monkey come from?"

"Japan."

"No. I mean, why is a monkey from Japan in Paris and in the opera house?"

"I don't know."

"How can you- never mind? I'm confused."

"Oh, don't worry, we all are." Liz says, sitting cross-legged.

Kristin got up and said, "If you will excuse me, I'm going to go and do something fun."

"And what would that be?" Jeron asks crossing his arms.

"Exploring. Chase never let me so I think I will without asking." She says opening the door.

"Well, it'll be only fair if we come with you." Tiffiny says, crossing the room to her.

"Yeah." Amber says, following.

They followed as Kristin went backstage. It looked that same as it had in the movie, but with a stereo and other technical things. On the low catwalks above they could see a girl asleep with bottles of, what they guessed was French beer. "I guess nothing has changed in years." Liz says, snickering to Tiff, who nodded remembering the movie.

Kristin, curious, opened a large door in the back and jumped back surprised. Inside was dusty old room. Amber, Jennifer, Liz, and Tiffiny eyes widened as they realized whose dressing room it was. Christine Daae's. Amber walked in, amazed, looking at the richly made carpeting covered in a gray dust, the few baskets of dried flowers, a small velvet couch, an oriental changing screen, and a few other things. But what stuck out most to them was the mirror at the end of the room, the mirror that led to the Phantom's lair.

Jeron and Nathan realized this too, for they stepped besides the group of girls in surprise. Amber, Liz, and Jennifer made their way to the mirror. Amber touched the glass lightly and then tugged on the edge of it. Nothing. It didn't move, swing open, or do anything. Liz tugged on it herself, finding the same result.

"I guess it was just a legend." Amber says with a sigh.

"Yeah." Liz says, looking down sadly.

Jennifer refused to believe this and pushed them aside, pissed. She tugged on the side, cursing under her breath. "Damn fucking mirror! Open up! I know that wasn't just a goddamn legend! Open the fuck up!" She yelled, kicking it.

The mirror gave a slight budge, but, before she could do anything, Chase poked his head in the door and said, "I'm not even going to ask what the hell is going on in here. I just need to borrow Amber. The rest of you, feel free to baby-sit my little sister."

"Sure, we'll watch her." Liz says, nodding.

"Great, I would also like to say you shouldn't be in this room. It's not allowed for anyone's use. And kicking the mirror will do nothing." Chase says with a smirk.

Glumly, they exited the room and Amber followed Chase to god-knows-where. Once they where out of ear shot, Chase said to Amber, "You look lovely Amber."

"Thanks." She said, blushing. Then, snapping out of her brainless state, she snapped, "Shut the fuck up you idiot." Chase looked at her with a wry grin, and then stopped walking.

"Amber, Friday night's gala is in two weeks and Alexa has come down with something. I need someone to play her part and thought you would be perfect." He says putting his hand on her shoulder.

"M-me?' Amber stutters.

"Yes, you." He says nodding.

"S-sure. I would love to." Ambers says, trying to stop stuttering.

"Great." Chase says, flashing a grin.

Amber smiled despite her annoyance with Chase. "Did you know you have the cutest button nose I have ever seen?" Chase asks, putting his face close to hers. Amber blushed and raised an eyebrow, bringing her head back from his. "And your lips look sweet enough to kiss." He says, leaning closer. Amber kicked him in the shin, stepping aside with a glare.

"Feisty. I like you more each second." Chase says, rubbing his irritated knee with a wink.

"Shut up you annoying PERVERT!" She yelled at him.

As they argued, a figure in the shadows that could not be found no matter how hard you search chuckled silently. He had been watching all of them closely within a matter of time and was greatly amused with their antics. He had decided to watch them longer from within his dark shadows.

Jennifer sighed, looked at everyone else, and asked, "So where else shall we explore?"

"How about we explore…" but before Liz could finish her sentence

Amber walked up to them and said, "If I have to deal with this annoying pervert so do you!" They nodded and followed her back to the stage. Well except for Jennifer, who saw something that caught her eye.

"Sigh Amber, I would like you to give me a shoulder massage as I talk to my brother." Chase says, sitting down in the front row crossing his legs, and looking up at the dancers stretching. Tatiana and her group had left to go for a late breakfast while the ballet girls practiced.

"Hell no." Amber said with a look of disgust. Chase looked up to her with a small smirk, and snapped his fingers. She crossed her arms and looked right back at him. "Now." He said, making her sigh in defeat.

Behind him, she placed her hands on his shoulders rubbing them gently… for about five second before digging her long nails into him. But, for some strange reason, that relaxed him more.

"So, Alex, what do you think of the Populaire. You have not seen it in awhile." He asks sighing.

"It is even better then before. I do believe it will get better with your new recruits." He says, nodding respectfully.

"Ahh, I know. With Amber singing lead this coming gala, we will attract a lot of attention."

The ballet girls on stage suddenly stopped dancing and gasped looking at him shocked. One girl whispered loud enough for Chase to hear "You are not having Alexa sing?"

"No I am not." Chase says, waving his hand at them to get back to dancing.

"The diva's wrath will be on you soon enough." She whispered, turning back to what she was doing along with the other girls.

"Chase, I thought you said she had come down with a cold and couldn't sing." Amber says, looking at him surprised.

"Well, I lied. I want you to sing, not her. She is getting on my nerves, along with everyone else in France." He says with his trademark smirk.

"You can't just push her out of the limelight. She a terrific singer!" Amber says, shocked.

"And how do you know that?"

'"Because she works here. Duh, Sherlock."

"That means nothing. A cow could get a job here nowadays. Nobody has the talent we really need, so we pick someone who can look like they know what they are doing."

"That's EVIL! THAT'S HORRIBLE!" Amber says, shocked once again.

"Welcome to the world of opera my dear." He says, patting her hand.

"So I must be like the other hundreds of women you must have hired and have a horrible voice." Amber says, gasping, and looking slightly hurt.

"No! You are special! You are wonderful, and I'm blessed to have found you for my opera house." He says taking her hand and kissing it.

Amber glared, but eventually blushed and hugged him quickly saying, "That's so sweet!"

"Anything for you my dear. Anything." He says with a smile.

"Then can I change out of this?" Amber asks, letting her eyes light up.

'"Do not push it. You look so seductive in that. I don't want you to ever change. In fact, I order you to wear this every second of your life."

Amber glared at him, turning pink and said, "Yeah, so you can be a pervert."

"Well of course. What else for?" She smacked the side of his head and sat down glaring. Alex chuckled and patted his brother with fake sympathy. Chase glared at him, and then went back to watching the dancers on stage.

"I wonder if they will become a couple." Tiffiny asked, hiding a grin.

"Duh, they will." Liz says, rolling her eyes.

"If she ever knew we were talking about her she would kill us." Nathan says, looking at the back of her head.

"Duh, again." Liz says.

"Hence why she will never know." Jeron says, also glancing her way.

Slow classical music played from the sound system and the dancers worked on routines, while they all watched bored. Except for the pervert brothers.

All of a sudden, a door from the backstage opened and Jennifer came running out pale faced. She leaped off of stage, landing in a musician's chair, when a moose appeared in the doorway she came from with looks to kill.

Chase stood up and yelled "Montre dehors! ((Watch out))" to the unexpected dancers. They screamed and all dodged different ways.

"Holy flying sheep." Amber said with wide eyes as the moose leaped off of the stage and landed in the aisle besides her. The moose continued running and left the auditorium.

"I declare that moose's name Julie!" Jennifer says from her hiding spot, punching her hand in the air.

Everyone turned to her with mouth agape, eyes wide, pale faces, and basically shocked faces. "What?" Jennifer asked confused. Chase fell back into his seat, shocked, while everyone else stared at her.

Finally someone, Liz, was able to talk "Where the hell did that moose come from?"

"Backstage. Where the ponies, and sheep are kept." She said, going over to them. Liz nodded stiffly and also fell back into her seat.

Amber, still shocked, said, "Ummm, I think it's almost time for dinner."

"Actually it's a little early for dinner, but I think I'm going to make reservations." Chase says, pulling out his cell phone.

"No, let's eat out at a fast food place or something." She says, shaking her head.

"What do you have in mind?"

"I have no idea."

"Sushi?"

"Sure."

((Liz put in a small argument about not going out to get Sushi and suggested we go somewhere else)) ((Yeah. Because it is raw fish, rice, and sushi! Also, I went to a Japanese restaurant (go Me Ro!) once and my friend, Jillian, got Sushi and made me try some and it was really nasty. Of course, that's just my opinion. –Editor))

After dinner, they all went back to the hotel including Alex. Which was weird, but hey, they already dealt with Chase. Tiffiny, bored out of her mind, was sitting in front of the TV glaring at the French soap opera playing on almost every channel. Liz and Jeron where having an argument about Tru, Liz's aunt, and Thade, Jeron's uncle, getting married. Nathan was staring out at the rain, still giddy from the martini he had. Amber was lying down on her stomach, looking through a magazine. And Jennifer was taking a shower.

But what about Chase and Alex you ask? Well, that will come in the next chapter.
