The look of absolute frustration on Mlle. Mirielle's face was priceless, Eve decided. Mlle. Alaina was just lying on the floor, prone to the ministrations of the not-so-mini scorpions and grasshoppers that came to investigate the cacophony. The man in the door looked a bit confused and walked forward to Mlle. Mirielle.

"Excuse me, Mademoiselle. Was this lady's fainting spell my fault?" asked the Freddy Krueger man with surprising eloquence.

"I am afraid so. Could you help me take her to the Headmaster?" Mlle. Mirielle asked after trying to heave her sister over her shoulder. The Krueger figure elegantly swept Mlle. Alaina into his arms.

Mlle. Mirielle quickly walked out of the room to show the man the way. "Your name doesn't happen to be Erik Destler, does it?" she asked.

"Yes, it does," the now-named Erik Destler replied.

"Figured as much," Mlle. Mirielle said with a sigh. "I am going to kill Webber! and Leroux!Erik."

So it began. Mlle. Alaina lay infirmed in the office of the Headmaster, who hoped to restore Mlle. Alaina before ridding OPA of its... problem. From almost every Phantom universe, the characters descended.

All the Raouls formed a coalition in which no less than three Raouls accompanied each other around OPA at all times. (Many of the Raouls vied for Schumacher!Raoul to be in their group. He boasted that he beat his Phantom in a duel.) The Raouls' first goal was to find their respective Christines, which turned out to be harder than originally expected. When they first started on their quest, the mute Raoul walked away before any of the other Raouls could notice. ("He is silent!" cried Argento!Raoul in their defense.) They couldn't find him for two hours until they ventured into the auditorium. They found a play being performed, with twenty students watching the production.

'Raoul you are here!' read one of the cards that Christiene was holding up to the students. Several not-so-minis had been conscripted to translate.

'How could I leave you ?' read Roul's card.

Throughout this short exchange, the Raoul and Christine gestured extravagantly—until a figure came into the room. He had his right arm against his chest and his left arm thrown out in front of him. His face was covered by a mask that came to right underneath his nose and had a little veil over his mouth. The Christine ran behind the Raoul so quickly that everyone present felt they missed half of her movements. The Erik, seeing this, looked around and walked into one of the many torture chambers that now peppered OPA. Relieved, the Christine and Raoul pair (now dubbed Silent!Christine and Silent!Raoul) ran towards the coalition of the Raouls. Silent!Raoul gestured furiously at the group (with Roul translating on a card as fast as his pinchers could go). Before Roul could hold up the sign, a black blur came running into the room.

"Where is he! Silent!Erik, where is he!" shouted Mlle. Mirielle, who was dragging three midgets behind her (one claimed he was the devil, another had heavy grease paint on his face, and the last was holding a tailless rat).

All the Raouls (and the one Christine) just looked at Mlle. Mirielle in befuddlement. What on Earth was Mlle. Mirielle doing dragging midgets? Mlle. Mirielle kicked open another of the torture chambers, this one in the floor, and pushed the midgets in.

"No Erik should even think about turning on torture chamber #652!" shouted Mlle. Mirielle before turning back to the coalition of Raouls. After surveying the group she took a quick head count. "Ten?" she muttered to herself. She then looked down her nose at all the Raouls (which was difficult to do, she being a whole head shorter than the shortest one).

"I am going to call your name and you will go to that side of the auditorium," she decreed. "I want my two originals over there now." She pointed and Raouls Leroux! and Webber! walked over.

"Kay!Raoul!" she shouted. No one moved. An irritated look crossed her face. "You there! You are now Kay!Raoul." She pointed to one of the men that looked like Leroux!Raoul.

"Schumacher!Raoul!" She pointed to one of the men that looked like Webber!Raoul.

"Argento!Raoul!" She pointed to the Raoul with waist-length black hair and a cane.

"Silent!Raoul!" Silent!Raoul knew his place and quickly walked over to the other Raouls, with Silent!Christine at his side.

"Raoul D'Aubert!" The police-uniformed Raoul, of course, knew his name.

"Richard Dutton!" A short-haired Englishman also stepped forward.

"Ant, Anatlo, oh, you!" shouted Mlle. Mirielle when she failed to pronounce the baritone Anatole Garron's name. It was so confusing having two Raouls from one movie. Shouldn't one Raoul be enough? Did Raines!Erik really deserve two?

"The Philippe de Chagny who is NOT a brother to a Raoul." The blond shoulder-length-haired nobleman stepped forward.

"Oh, bloody hell." Ten Raouls meant nine—well, eight now that Silent!Christine and Silent!Erik were accounted for—eight Christines and Eriks to find. "All of you stay here and keep Silent!Christine with you!" Mlle. Mirielle said as she left the room.

Three hours later, Mlle. Mirielle had enlisted the help of three students, one of the greatest helps being Neshomeh. The students were instrumental, considering that Mlle. Alaina was still recovering from her breakdown in front of Erik Destler. They had caught two Megs, one rat catcher, an Inspector Ledoux, three Carlottas, and one Erik.

Neshomeh must have had a built-in character sensor, for she found the two Megs arguing with the three Carlottas in a small music room. Reacting quickly, Neshomeh locked the door on them and put a sign up that read, "Warning: Mad Minis Inside." Needless to say, the sounds of the Carlotta's shrieks warned away any curious minds more than the sign.

Lorena Soul captured a dirty, mad rat catcher who was attempting to hide from Inspector Ledoux, who was dramatically looking for him, in a cellar. Mlle. Mirielle pushed the rat catcher into the torture chamber that was right next to him and shouted for the Eriks to leave torture chamber #54 alone.

Crafty Inspector Ledoux ran away during the rat catcher's capture, but he was shortly apprehended by Arias, who tackled him to the ground. Neshomeh found a bit of rope lying nearby (never know when an Erik might need to make a second Punjab lasso), bound the poor Inspector, and threw him in with the rat catcher.

"Why did we need to tie him up?" asked Lorena Soul.

"If we pushed him into the torture chamber while he was unbound, he would be able to free the both of them. Since he is bound and can't speak, he can't help the rat catcher," Mlle. Mirielle explained.

"What if the rat catcher frees him?" asked Neshomeh.

"He is missing most of one of his thumbs," Mlle. Mirielle airily replied. The three girls shuddered.

The easiest target to catch, ironically, was an Erik. Erique Claudin, or Raines!Erik, was coming out of a dressing room when he heard the band coming. Apparently he had failed Stealth 101: instead of sneaking back into the dressing room, he fled slowly down the pastel-painted halls, dressed entirely in black. Sighing, Mlle. Mirielle quickly Punjabbed the lasso-less Phantom. With an abnormally large grin, Neshomeh shoved him into the dressing room and locked the door.

"I never liked that Phantom," she stated after the deed was done.

Also among the captured was a small Siamese cat named Ayesha. A close run-in with Kay!Erik left Ayesha confused about where her master was. Mlle. Mirielle rescued the poor cat and attempted to use her to lower her blood pressure (everyone knows petting cats is good for that!) The scheme seemed to be failing, considering Ayesha clawed Mlle. Mirielle's arms every few minutes.

The haggard administrator was now sneaking around looking for Christines. She was hot on their trail, because their giggles were growing ever louder. The giggles unnerved Mlle. Mirielle. Who knew what canon would be destroyed by the invading Christines?

"You mean, you kissed him on the lips? Twice!" cried Leroux!Christine, safely back from the Headmaster's office, in jealousy, for she only kissed Erik's forehead.

"Uh-huh," came the nervous reply from Schumacher!Christine.

"Webber!Christine, why didn't you tell me?" Leroux!Christine asked.

Webber!Christine just shrugged. "You seemed happy with your forehead kiss. I didn't think you wanted to know."

"I kissed him, and I would never do it again. He killed my love, and he followed me home," came the dazed reply from Christine Day, who did not seem to enjoy the attentions of Erik Destler. All the other Christines ignored her.

"Well, we did more than that," came the sultry voice of Argento!Christine, along with a murmur of agreement from Kay!Christine.

Mlle. Mirielle was, by now, in full sprint towards the room with the Christines, 'Must protect the canon!' resounding in her head.

"What?" came the voices of six Christines.

"Well, we—"

"NOOOOO!" came the resounding shout of Mlle. Mirielle, along with a disgruntled mrow from Ayesha, as she tackled the two talkative Christines to the floor. "MUST PROTECT THE CANON! PROTECT CANON!"

All of the Christines who were still standing stared down at the exhausted not-so-mini trainer as a swarm of fangirls came rushing towards the room.

Where there is a Christine, an Erik is not far behind.
