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

Story start

Lexi was grumbling under her breath as she sat around the nice dining table in the opera house. The owners had drug her there to eat with some of the opera house's benefactors. She did not feel good about leaving Tiffani vulnerable in the opera house alone. Her friend was still sleeping away, dead to the world, in the audience seat where she left her.

"She better be alright," Lexi thought before a man with chestnut brown hair that brought out his green eyes distracted her. "She'll be fine," she thought before the man introduced himself as the new main benefactor of the opera house.

Tiffani woke up slowly and a little confused. "Why is it so dark in here?" she yelled before she fell out of the seat she had been occupying during her sleep. "Dumb chair," she muttered and kicked the chair before she stood up. She saw a few candles still lit around the stage so she made her way there.

"Wonder where Lexi went, with how protective she has been lately I'm surprised she left me alone?" she said before smiling in glee when she saw a cane and a top hat. "Mine, finders keepers," she cheered as she put the hat on and placed the cane in front of her.

"Well since I feel fabulous time to dance," Tiffani said before she started goofing off around the stage.

"Shouldn't you be resting?" a male's voice said from nowhere and Tiffani jumped in fright.

"Oh, you scared me," Tiffani said as she spun around and saw the music director giving her a disapproving stare.

"Go rest, now," he said as he motioned towards the way to the dorms.

"Yes sir," she said as she quickly rushed off the stage but she kept the cane and top hat. "He acts like my dad," she thought before she veered into another hallway before the music director saw what she did. "Time to find secret passages," she thought as she started tapping the cane on the wall to hear where a wall was hollow.

After a few minutes of doing this, she heard that hollow sound in a dark area of a wall. "Bingo," she cheered before she moved over to the wall and started feeling for something that would make the wall reveal its secret passageway. "Why is this so easy for the Scooby and Shaggy?" she muttered remembering about the cartoon Scooby Doo.

"Finally," she cheered when she the wall slid back a bit and she saw a dark tunnel. "And now I need a light, which I don't have or know where to find one quickly," she muttered before moving the wall back to its original place.

"Whose down there? Everyone should be in the dorms or at the dinner party held by the owners," a man yelled down the hallway. He was not able to see Tiffani since the opera house was getting darker inside.

"Then why are you running around?" Tiffani yelled back before she ran off laughing.

"Hey, get back here," the man yelled as he tried to chase after Tiffani, who was already disappearing around a corner.

"Too slow," she yelled back before someone grabbed her and pulled her into a dark tunnel before the wall appeared in front of her and blocked the hallway from view. She went to say something but a gloved hand was placed over her mouth.

"Quiet," the Phantom's voice whispered into her ear and she withheld the shiver her body wanted to give at hearing his voice so close to her ear.

"Where did that woman go?" the man from the hallway earlier called out in front of the wall hiding Tiffani and the Phantom from view. "She's on her own in this place," the man cursed before his footsteps faded away.

"Thanks," Tiffani said with a smile as the Phantom turned her around in his arms. She could barely see in the dark hidden tunnel, but she could see a bit of white in the darkness. "You know, you just showed me a secret hiding place even though you said you were not going to," she said with a smirk and gave the Phantom a poke on his arm.

"Would you have rather I not?" the Phantom asked before he grabbed Tiffani's hand and started leading her down the dark tunnel.

"Glad you did, now where are you leading me?" she asked as she was led down a dark tunnel that did not let her see anything but darkness around her.

"Be patient," the Phantom said as he turned a corner. His eyes were used to the tunnels so he moved effortlessly as the girl behind him stumbled along.

"That's hard for me to do," Tiffani muttered as she thought of all the times her family and Lexi had gave her a look when she had trouble being patient.

"Did you know that the benefactors of my opera house have been dining tonight with your friend?" the Phantom asked as he stopped in front of another secret door. His stop was unseen or noticed by Tiffani so she ran into his back. He turned around and caught her before she fell.

"I heard about that, but I did not know Lexi was with them. Can we spy on them?" she asked with a smirk as she thought of what Lexi would be doing at a boring dinner like that.

"One step ahead of you," he said before he quietly opened the secret door that led to an area close to where Lexi and the benefactor from earlier were now chatting with glasses of champagne in their hands.

"Oh she found her a guy already, she works quickly," Tiffani muttered as she and the Phantom watched Lexi talk to the handsome man in front of her. His green eyes and chestnut hair definitely made his aristocratic features stand out. "Good pick," Tiffani thought before focusing back on her friend.

"That is the main benefactor," the Phantom whispered into Tiffani's ear as they watched Lexi and the benefactor flirt with each other.

"Well I don't care if he's Pinocchio. If he wants to be with my friend then he better go about this the right way and court her," Tiffani said with a big nod before smirking at the Phantom. "I would break up their cute moment but my friend would kill me, but we could go mess with the owners a bit?" she said and the Phantom just shook his head and smirked at her as he brought his face close to hers.

"Already have," he said and her jaw dropped before she heard screams sound from the dining area and the owners ran out of the room with their eyes watering and they ran straight to Lexi.

"The Phantom has kidnapped your friend, my dear," one of the owners yelled and Lexi dropped her glass of champagne before she glared at the letter the owners gave her.

"No, you haven't," Tiffani whispered looking at the Phantom, who was giving her his usual smirk.

"He better not have," Lexi yelled angrily as she went to storm straight towards Christine's old room to go through the mirror tunnel and inflict much bodily harm to the Phantom, who was currently chuckling behind Tiffani.

"You know that she would kill you if she found you," Tiffani whispered before a rope appeared from above the two of them that would easily reach the floor where Lexi and the others stood.

"That's why you're going to slide down that rope," the Phantom said before he handed Tiffani the rope. He stole a kiss on the lips from her before he shoved her off the side of the banister that they had been hiding behind to spy. She was shocked by the kiss before she cheered while sliding down the rope.

"Tiffani," Lexi screamed when she saw her friend sliding down a rope to the floor.

"Do that again," her friend said happily before she was attacked by a hug from Lexi.

"Are you alright? Did he hurt you again? If he did then he's dead," Lexi growled and her friend laughed before getting close to her ear.

"He kissed me," Tiffani whispered before skipping out of her friend's arms and towards their room. The main benefactor and the owners watched shocked as a girl that was supposedly kidnapped by the Phantom of the Opera happily skipped away.

"Wait a minute, you can't say that and run off," Lexi growled as she chased after her friend.
