Max: I'M BACK!
Erik: And so am I!
Christine: Me too!
Raoul: Me three!
-Max and Erik glare at Raoul-
Max: Nobody really cares Raoul.
Raoul: *sadly* okay.
Max: Anyway… we're still here in 1870, which I guess we have been for a few weeks… sorry about the lack of updates. I blame school and track (in real life, not this story).
Erik: Okay… so now what?
Christine: I guess there's something that I have to tell Raoul.
Raoul: What is it, darling?
Christine: *swallows nervously* well… um…
-looks back at Max, who prompts her to go on-
Christine: Hehe, funny story, see after you left Max's time-
Erik: She's in love with me, fop, and she's going to marry me so deal with it.
-Everyone stares at Erik-
Christine: I never said that I was going to…
Raoul: *hopefully* so you'll still marry me?
Christine: Um…
-suspense…. Suspense…. Suspense…-
Erik: *impatiently* no she won't!
Christine: Uh… right.
Max: Let her tell him gently, Erik.
Erik: No! He caused me too much pain! I can't pass this up!
Max: Love your enemies, Erik. Trust me, it'll pay off in the end.
Erik: *scoffs* how?
Max: For one, they get kind of confused and second, they might even feel worse.
Erik: Really? *evil grin*
Max: Oh no… this will not end well.
Raoul: But Christine…. I thought after all of that to free you…
Christine: I know, but maybe it's better.
Raoul: How would you know…?
Erik: It's okay, Raoul. I can understand. Trust me, my pain was a thousand times worse. I died.
Raoul: *look of shock and a little nausea on his face*
Max: Okay, so this is the only update that I could do at the moment, but more will be coming. We will try to stay in this time period a little longer than expected just to make up for lost time. Sorry if I lost a lot of readers, but to those still reading, thanks for still believing in me! It means a lot!
Erik: Max, you're forgetting something.
Max: What did I forget… oh yes! Of course, duh! Phantom of the Opera is in 6th place with the most popular books in the Fanfiction archive with 9,900 Phanfictions! YAY! Except it's still pathetic that Warriors got ahead of us…
Christine: I'm sorry.
Raoul: Of course you are!
Christine: I wasn't talking to you, fop.
Raoul: ….
Max: I don't have much time left, math homework, grrr I must go back to reality where Erik and Christine don't exist.
Raoul: You forgot me.
Max: No I didn't. You exist at my school in the form of a silly boy who likes ducks.
Raoul: ERIK THERE'S A DUCK IN YOUR LAKE!
Max: There rests my case. So write stories! Thanks! I have a few ideas and I'll try to think of a few one-shots! Hasta la Vista!
Raoul: …?
Erik: She said goodbye in Spanish.
Raoul: You would know that. BYE!
