Me: Hey guys, I know you were looking forward to the wedding this chapter-

Erik: They've been looking forward to the wedding for some time now!

Me: Shush! I know! Trust me, we will have the wedding, but there's been a few problems recently…

Erik: One being…?

Me: We don't have enough people attending! And you don't even have a best man, Erik! If we don't get one, le fop will have to fill in!

Erik: What? No! I will NOT let that man get the place of honor!

Me: Sooooo we need more attendees as it were! So far we only have three: EriksNewLove, Thaovyphantran, and The Phantom's Mistress.

Erik: Only three people? We need more people! Please come *gives complete OOC puppy dog eyes to readers*

Me: … That was extremely creepy, Erik

Erik: … Thanks.

Me: Well guys, Erik and Christine would really appreciate it if you guys attended. So leave a review or send me a PM to let me know you're coming!

Erik: That would be amazing! Thanks!

Me: There is one more thing, though.

Erik: What's that?

Me: Updates may not be as frequent as I had originally planned.

Erik: Just on this story?

Me: No, on all of my stories.

Erik: No! I like your incredibly ridiculous stories that really would have nothing to do with my life (like me and Madame Giry? Disgusting)! Why?

Me: My grandpa just passed away the week I was at camp, so my family is going through a lot of changes and such to help my grandma.

Erik: … I never knew my grandparents…

Me: Um… I'm sorry…

Erik: At least you had them!

Me: But I'll see him again!

Erik: Oh that's right… you're a Christian.

Me: Erik, you should try it out again. It'll stop your depression and stuff!

Erik: … right.

Me: *sighs* Any of you fellow Christians out there, please pray for my family. I would appreciate that so much, thanks so much!

Erik: What about me?

Me: I thought you didn't believe in God?

Erik: I do! But… my face…

Me: And God would love you less because of it?

Erik: No! I mean, maybe… it's not that exactly, it's just the things I've done…

Me: He'll forgive you. You ever heard of the gospel?-

Erik: *irritably* How did we get on this subject?

Me: Erik… I-

Erik: We were talking about the wedding, right?

Me: Actually, we were talking about why I can't update…

Erik: Oh yes, something to do with God…

Me: Erik!

Erik: What?

Me: Don't say it like that… It's offending.

Erik: To your religion?

Me: To my faith.

Erik: Won't you be offending other people with this?

Me: I'm not! Or at least I'm not trying to… if it does, then I'm sorry.

Erik: *sighs* Whatever, I just hope that you guys show up to the wedding. *puppy dog eyes again* Pwease.

Me: That's still extremely creepy… Especially when you say "pwease" instead of "please"

Erik: It'll look worse with my mask off…

Me: *shrugs*

Erik: Grrrr…. You're no fun.

Me: Yes, I am! Oh! I should probably go now!

Erik: What? No!

Me: Sorry, darling, I'll see you guys later! And don't forget to either review or PM me to come to the wedding!
