I do not own the Phantom of the Opera. I only own Tiffani and Lexi.

Story start

"So much better," Tiffani said as she sat on her bed wearing a sleep gown. "Hey, get into your sleep gown already so we can go explore without wearing heavy and uncomfortable clothes," she said as she propped herself up with her elbows on the bed and her hands under her chin.

"We are not going exploring on our first night," Lexi said as she grabbed her dress and slipped into their washroom to change. "I mean it," she yelled when Tiffani was already tiptoeing towards the bedroom door.

"Come on, how can you resist sneaking around this awesome of a place?" Tiffani asked with a pout as she grabbed a hairpin that had been sitting on the vanity. "Need this later," she thought as Lexi exited the washroom in her sleep gown.

"You do know that we could get worse than in trouble, we could get killed," Lexi said as she tossed her dress onto a chair with Tiffani's partially destroyed leotard and the coat from earlier.

"What's your point? We've dealt with worse," her friend said excitedly as she slipped out of the bedroom with Lexi following her. "Explore the stage or this room first?" she asked Lexi as they stopped in front of the room that held the mirror leading to the catacombs beneath the opera house.

"Well we don't have any light source to use once we explore the room so let's explore the stage," Lexi said and Tiffani nodded. "Anyways, we will need at least a few candles if we explore the catacombs," Lexi thought as they made their way to the stage. Tiffani was already climbing onto the stage while Lexi just shook her head and went around to the stairs. "I swear that you are a monkey," she muttered and her friend just grinned before doing a back flip on the stage.

"What makes you think that? Now, would you like to perform since we were interrupted last time, or should we just go snoop around and try on fun costumes?" Tiffani asked before she started spinning around the stage to amuse herself.

"What do we do best?" Lexi asked with a smirk.

"Snoop and cause trouble," the two friends said at the same time with matching smirks before they walked to the stage exits so they could look around at all the costumes and props.

"Hey Lexi, watch your neck," Tiffani called back as she used her eyes to signal towards the hanging ropes around the area that came from the upper apparatus that allowed for movements of props and lights.

"You watch your own," Lexi called back before she made a happy sound when she found a cape. "This is beautiful," she said as she ran her hands over the material.

"Look, I'm a helpless maiden that is so naïve that anyone could hurt me, oh," Tiffani said as she held an innocent looking dress in front of her sleep gown and acted as if she was about to faint.

"That doesn't suit you at all," Lexi said as she put on the cape. "This however, suits me perfectly," she said with a smile as she moved the cape.

"Oh yes, Count Lexi, has come to drink our blood. Run for your lives, grab some garlic, and if you throw the garlic in her mouth then you get ten points. Stake her through the heart you get twenty, and if you get really inventive then you get fifty points," Tiffani said and laughed when Lexi threw a shoe at her that was lying around nearby.

"So funny, go find a different costume, one that will actually suit you," Lexi said and Tiffani just shrugged before hanging the dress back up and looking for another costume. A small chill travelled through Lexi and she froze before looking above her and putting her arms up near her neck.

A scream from Tiffani made her gasp and run to where the scream came from in the masses of costumes. Lexi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Tiffani was unharmed. "I found the perfect costume," Tiffani yelled before winking at Lexi when she showed Lexi the dark fairy like dress.

"I thought you were hurt, you dummy," Lexi yelled and threw something else at Tiffani. It was too dark in the room to see what this flying projectile was, but Tiffani dodged it.

"Well if that had hit me then I would have been, so cruel," Tiffani said with a fake sniffle before yelping and tossing away the dress when Lexi started running after her. "I'll be good," she yelled as Lexi threw something else at her.

"No, you won't," Lexi yelled back as she threw more random objects in the dark at her friend.

"You're right, I won't," Tiffani yelled back before laughing when the two of them ended up running around on the stage again. Nobody else was in the stage area, which gave the room a darker feeling than when the room is lit up to show off the grandeur.

"Rope," Lexi yelled when a noose fell down from above the two of them and in front of Tiffani. She was worried for her friend, but just laughed when Tiffani let out a Tarzan yell and grabbed onto the rope and tried to swing on it. She was actually able to swing on it before the rope was released and she fell to the stage on her feet holding the rope.

Lexi had caught a glimpse of a white mask when Tiffani was swinging on the noose like she was Tarzan swinging on a jungle vine. "Look Lexi, free rope," Tiffani said before she was smacked over the head by Lexi. "What was that for?" she yelled before pouting at Lexi's glare.

"You were just swinging like Tarzan on that noose," Lexi said while Tiffani was untying the noose.

"It was fun," Tiffani said with a smirk before she made a lasso and tried to swing it, but she failed miserably. "Now that was not fun," she said before she kicked the rope away from her.

"Bad rope," she muttered before hugging Lexi. "Let's go to sleep now," she said cutely before running off towards their room.

"Don't you dare hurt her," Lexi growled at the darkness while looking above the stage before she too made her way to her room.

Nothing else strange happened during the night, but the next morning some of the workers and dancers were saying how they heard such strange noises last night. Tiffani was trying not to giggle while she ate the breakfast sitting in front of her. Lexi just smiled before she too focused on her breakfast.

Today was the day that practice for the new production started. Tiffani was already given the music for the new production, while the owners had already told Lexi that they would need a little more time to decide what parts she would sing in the production. Officially that mean that Carlotta was being a pain in the rear end and the owners were too wimpy to stick up for their own ideas.

"You'll be heard and you'll shine better than Carlotta could even dream to sound," Tiffani said happily to her friend before she was dragged away to the orchestra section.

"Thanks, Tiffani," Lexi thought with a smile before she had to listen to Carlotta start her daily whining.

Practice turned out to be more like pure torture. Carlotta was whining and complaining about every little insignificant matter. She was mostly whining when the orchestra played correctly and she messed up, but she would blame it on the orchestra. Lexi looked over at Tiffani and could tell that she was growing extremely agitated.

"That's it," Tiffani growled before quickly separating her clarinet and putting it back inside its case. She placed the case in the chair and glared at the stage, but mostly at Carlotta.
