Erik: Someone has been slack.

Me: I know, Iknow I`ve been busy and my mind isn`t being creative at the moment.

Erik: That isn`t an excuse! You are not the only one who is looking forward to the story moving on!

Me:... Are you saying you are enjoying this?

Erik O_O... .. NO!

Me: You are!

Erik: No I am not!

Yes you are... but anyway sorry I``ve been gone so long... this chapter is... well I don`t know I needed something to write so I`ll try this. Thank you those who gave me Ideas, i`m for sure going to use some and give a special shout out to you when I use them ^^. I just need to find a way to put them in the story. Anyway Review... Sorta of a random chapter I think but Enjoy! Feedback is always great!

Erik made his way up towards Eve`s room. After he had gotten Echo situated with his organ and was sure she would not destroy anything in his absence, he had decided it was time for Eve to return. He easily made it too her room considering this was his Opera house. But he was in for a surprise when he got there. He had expected that she would be all to ready to return but instead it was the opposite.

"Actually I think I want to stay up here, I mean at least until I`m not needed any more." Eve shrugged as she brushed her hair readying her self for bed. Erik frowned." And what has possessed you to want rto stay up here with these fools, these ballet rats?"

"Oh well it`s simple really. I`m like the person they look up to now! And we can have sleepovers and do each other's nails and make up. Plus I like my room up here, not that my room down with you is bad, but I love it up here! Come on you do understand right?" Eve shrugged turning to look at him. Erik`s face stayed expressionless as he answered."No."

"Erik, honestly you don`t need me down there. It was just going to be for nights anyway. Besides weren`t you the one who all too quickly wanted us to leave before. Well here I am giving you a little space… though I`m dying inside. I`ll still visit you and want you to the do the same, with Echo too… Look on the bright side you still have Echo. You two can work on your bonding together skills!"

For some reason part of Erik liked the fact that now he had time to spend with Echo by himself, but the other part moaned. This was going to be a long week. Either way it was sure to be interesting.

"SHE WHAT?"

"Echo really it will n-

" NO!"

"Echo plea-"

"THAT SELFISH BRAT!"

Erik sighed knowing there would be no stopping her now. Maybe he should have waited until later in the day rather than telling her when she just woke up. She had never been a morning person. Like he had thought it would be, Echo was anything but happy with Eve`s refusal to come back. It would be best to just let Echo rage on for a little bit. Echo was pacing around talking to herself and grumbling about Eve`s selfishness. Erik shook his head as he rolled his eyes." Am I really that unfavorable to stay with?"

Echo simply stared at him for a few moments before she started in her raging again only louder and more dramatic." AND she left me with a guy who murdered someone and is psychotic! You could murder me in my sleep! "

"really isn`t that a little too over dramatic. If I had wanted you dead you`d already be dead." Erik grumbled slightly becoming annoyed with her. Echo shook her head in defiance." Oh no, you can`t play that card on me mister. I`ve seen too many crime shows for that! You could just be waiting for the most opportune moment! I Will not be killed! No i`ll kill you before you Kill me. Right? Right!"

Erik stared after her as she rushed into her room blinking before letting out a laugh. For some reason he just found that explanation to be incredibly humorous. Echo peeked out of her room as she gave Erik a look of confusion." What in the hell are you laughing about?"

Erik shook his head as he laughed." Nothing, my dear, nothing."

"Okay… anyway I`m over it now. She can stay up there with those snots, but just don`t expect me to do any favors for the trader… franchising with the damn enemies." Echo muttered shaking her head. Erik who was struggling to stop his laughter, seemed to only start laughing again which made Echo frown and shake her head as she went for the surface. She had a blonde to exchange some colorful words with. She didn`t have time to deal with a crazy, perhaps slightly high Phantom at the moment. This was a serious matter!

"Are you going to stop staring at me like that?" Eve asked as she glanced at Echo who was giving her a rather evil glare at the moment. Eve slowly inched to her door." I uh-uh have practice so uh yeah!"

As she turned to leave Echo`s demanding voice stopped her." Stay where you are blonde!"

Eve cringed but slowly turned to face Echo as she smiled innocently." Yes?"

"What do you have to say for yourself, young lady?" Echo tapped her foot as she crossed her arms. Eve shrugged." Sorry… but I`m not really sorry."

"Do you know what you have done? I can`t believe it! You are leaving me with your so called Idol when you know I could kill him or he could kill me or we both could end up dead. If you haven`t noticed we don`t do good when we are with eachother!" Echo raged pacing angrily back in forth. Eve rolled her eyes slightly wondering if Echo always paced this much when she was angry." You won`t kill him. You like him too much."

"Yeah well you know what just for that I`ll kill him! I will damn it!" Echo stubbornly said as she fell to the ground pouting like a child. Eve laughed." Hey I may not be that bright at times, but I`m a girl who is like guy crazy if you haven`t noticed. Girl I can smell attraction and that`s what you both have for eachother. So think of it as a gift."

"No one can smell attraction you little weirdo." Echo frowned, but as she thought of what Eve had said she smiled." So our local phantom has a crush does he... Looks like I might be winning the game after all."

"It`s not like you aren`t into him either. You are just playing hard to get." Eve smirked proudly. Echo waved her away." Yeah, yeah, yeah go preach to someone who cares. I have things to do. People to see… plans… plans to make."

Eve rolled her eyes as she went to walk out of her room." You can thank me later."
