Chapter 8.5:
January 2, 2007
To my dearest pupils,
You are invited to attend Phantom Academy's first annual Undecking-of-the-Halls Ceremony to take place later this evening. This is a way to allow you to get to know your fellow students even better.
The festivities will begin at 6:00 P.M. and continue until the halls are completely devoid of any decoration and the cookies and hot chocolate are gone.
Your Obedient Mentor and Angel,
Erik

The hallways were filled with students in matching Phantom outfits (standard cleaning uniform). Erik appeared in his rather ravishing- hot pink?- phantom outfit.
"Wait," the authoress paused mid-paragraph. "How did this happen?"
"Well," Raoul began to answer.
"Oh, no. This can't be good…"
"There was this incident at Bath and Body Works. I really really needed someone's opinion on what scent to get, and Erik happened to be next door getting his nails done, so I asked him to help me. I think I accidentally got him high…" Raoul looked worried. "I hope no one is mad…"
A few phangirls started to answer, but Erik came up and gave them each a kiss. He skipped away, giddy with giddiness.
dark-hearted rose turned to Raoul. "I think you're safe." Then she ran off to see if Erik would kiss her too.
"Meh, I have a better plan," Morvana mumbled to herself, and began taking down the decorative lights from the nearest window.
Erik ran up to Megan and attempted to kiss her, but Raoul intercepted.
"Stay away from my love!" he cried.
"Sheesh!" Megan exclaimed. She looked skyward. "Why me?"

The once festive halls had been restored to their former plainness. Erik, who had been prancing around in his hot pink Phantom cloak, was beginning to regain some sense.
"Hey," Megan thought aloud, "If Jordan gets a piggy, why can't I have a foxy?"
The authoress, who happened to overhear, said, "But you can. Don't you remember who I am and the vastness of my powers?" And with that said, she began pulling objects out of her bedazzled Phantom cloak.
"Kitty… Rusty…" The authoress paused to hug her golden retriever.
"Hem hem!"
"Oh, right. …Foxy!"
"Yay!" Megan squeed.
NeverAfter announced, "I have presents for everyone: Phantom plushies!"
Everyone cheered, included Erik, who, still being just a tad bit loopy, was the first one in line.
"I've always wanted one of these!" he squealed joyfully.
(Awkward silence)
Morvana, finally ready to carry out her evil plan, snuck up behind Erik with some mistletoe and kissed him on what would be lips if they were there.
"Heh…" he giggled girlishly.
"We need some more festive music," Erik for President declared, whacking the CD player. She began playing her wonderful bagpipes, and no one shut her up because she was kicking some serious butt on them.
When her jovial tune ended, and NeverAfter had finished distributing her plushies, which everyone loved, Erik passed out. Everyone rushed to see if their kiss would be the one to awake the prince, except phantom-jedi1, who had planned for this to happen all along. Why? Well, for fun of course.
"That's not very nice fun," Jordan peeped.
"Well, you're not my mother so you can't tell me to play nice!" phantom-jedi1 retorted.
"Fair enough."
"I know what you're saying," the authoress said, "You want Erik to wake up. But if he does, we can't torture him. Oh, and the chapter would end."
First, Jojo, applied lip gloss- lots and lots of lip gloss. While Jojo was working on that, NeverAfter worked to curl his one lock of hair. PhantomoftheBasket painted his nails hot pink to match his cape. Once the make over was complete, the students stood back to admire their work.
Erik began to stir, so the majority of the phans went back to pretending to un-decorate. A few stayed and began fanning him. Someone shouted a command to the group to get him a glass of water. Erik sat up and moaned.
"Where am I?" he asked.
"You're at the first annual "Undecking-of-the-Halls Ceremony"." phantom-jedi1 said, then, after receiving a look, added, "It was your idea. Who else would be stupid enough to think of something like that?"
"Well, I must have been high or something!" Raoul made a quick exit. "Now everyone, GET OUT!"
A stampede rushed to the door. Once in the hall, Jojo asked, "How will we know when he looks in a mirror?"
"Oh, you'll know," phantom-jedi1 replied.
The students filed to their dorms, where they began to ready themselves for bed. Just as the last of the lights had gone off, a scream caused every single one to be turned back on.
"He looked…" phantom-jedi1 commented across the room to Jojo, who nodded in confirmation.
Madame Giry strode down the hall, knocking on every door calling, "Lights out!"
