Chapter 4: The Phantom Hedgehog

Amy's Dressing Room

"You did a wonderful job Amy my dear!" Madame Vanilla told Amy in her dressing room, surrounded by bushels of flowers after her amazing performance. "He is pleased with you." Vanilla informed her, handing her a red rose with a black silk ribbon tied onto its stem.

He? Amy thought to herself with a confused expression on her face. Sonic maybe? Hmmm… Just as Amy was about to ask Vanilla who gave her the rose, she left the room shutting the door behind her. Now being alone, Amy sat on the stool by her vanity pondering at the mysterious rose she was holding delicately. Who is he? She wondered when suddenly, the door opened.

"Hello Ames." A handsome blue hedgehog holding flowers said as smooth as peanut butter.

Could it be? Is it really him? Amy turned to find her childhood sweetheart kneeling next to her holding a lovely bouquet of flowers. "Sonic!" she cried giving him an 'Amy Rose bear hug'. "Those picnics in the attic…" she said, trailing off, and letting nostalgia take over.

"And our runs along the beach… You sang like an angel tonight!" Sonic told her, still in Amy's embrace.

"My father told me that when he went to heaven he would send me the Angel of Music. My father is dead Sonic," Amy explained, "and the Angel of Music sings songs in my head." She sang.

"The Angel of Music sings songs in my head…" they both harmonized beautifully. They were both lost in each other's eyes until Sonic suggested, "Let's go out and celebrate!"

"No Sonic, I can't. The Angel of Music is quite strict." Amy argued.

"Nonsense, I will go and order my carriage. Be ready in 2 minutes."

"No! Sonic, wait!" Amy exclaimed at him, but it was too late; he had already left.

Moments after Sonic left, a white gloved hand silently turned the key on Amy's dressing room door, locking her inside. (She didn't even know that she was locked inside)

Amy had just changed out of her gown, and into a casual light pink sundress, when suddenly all of the candles blew out at once in her dressing room, just like a horror movie, leaving the room very dark. Just as Amy reached for the door she heard a familiar voice sing:

Insolent boy, this slave of fashion,

Basking in your glory.

Ignorant fool, this brave younger suitor,

Sharing in my triumph!

Amy thought it was the Angel of Music. Little did she know that it was actually the Phantom Hedgehog! Thinking that it was her Angel, she sang back.

Angel I hear you, speak, I listen,

Stay by my side, guide me.

Angel my soul was weak, forgive me,

Enter at last, Master.

Phantom:

Flattering child you shall know me,

See why in shadow I hide.

Look at your face in the mirror,

I am there inside

Amy turned, and in the mirror she saw a masked hedgehog. Slowly she started to walk toward him as she sang:

Angel of Music, Guide and Guardian,

Grant to me your glory.

Angel of Music, hide no longer,

Come to me, strange angel.

Phantom:

I am your Angel of Music

Come to me Angel of Music

As Sonic approached Amy's dressing room door, he heard a voice inside, so he tried opening the door but It was locked, so he yelled, "Who is in there! Amy! Amy open the door!" Completely in a trance by the mysterious hedgehog in the mirror, Amy did not hear Sonic's screams.

Phantom:

I am your Angel of Music

The Phantom held out his hand from inside of her mirror, and slowly, Amy took it, following the mysterious, masked black hedgehog. He wore a black tuxedo with white gloves, and his mask was white, but it only covered the left side of his face. His fur was jet black, and his quills were black with red streaks. The Phantom carefully lead Amy through the mirror and down a dark hallway with stone walls. Surrounding them were candles, mysteriously moving with them as crept forward down the tunnel and they sang:

Amy:

In sleep he sang to me

In dreams he came

That voice which calls to me

And speaks my name

And do I dream again?

For now I find

The phantom of the opera is there,

Inside my mind

Phantom:

Sing once again with me

Our strange duet

My power over you

Grows stronger yet

And though you turn from me

to glance behind

The phantom of the opera is there

Inside your mind

Reaching the end of the lit tunnel, they turned into another corridor, where they found a small, gothic looking gondola, with an iron skull on the front, and lanterns on each end of the boat, sitting in a vast, foggy lake. (The water was beneath the Opera Populaire. This was in a fancy, sewer like area, but without crap floating in the water! It wasn't really a sewer, but it looked like one!) The Phantom carefully helped Amy into the gondola, and they then floated off as the Phantom rowed them along.

Amy:

Those who have seen your face

Draw back in fear

I am the mask you wear

Phantom:

It's me they hear

Both:

My/Your spirit and my/your voice

In one combined

The phantom of the opera is there

Inside my/your mind

He's there, the phantom of the opera

Slowly, the Phantom pushed the gondola towards a tall metal cage-like gate. As they approached it, the gate started to rise automatically, giving them entry towards their destination, which was still a complete mystery to Amy. Suddenly, lit candelabras rose from the bottom of the water, lighting their way towards land. Soon, the boat bumped up against something hard, and the Phantom jumped out of the boat, and onto the floor of his home.

BUUUMMM BUUUUUUMM ! HAHA- ITS A CLIFFIE! :D WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN! (WELL... IF YOU'VE SEEN PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, YOU ALREADY KNOW, BUT FAIR WARNING: MY STORY IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT!
