Christine couldn't wait to find Meg; she was so excited to tell her best friend of the events that occurred last night and could barely contain her excitement. She did not know why she was getting so excited; after all she had only just met Erik last night, and spent the night under the opera house in his lair. Christine hoped that Meg would not freak out and scorn her for talking to a man whom she had never met at all before, but in truth, Christine had met Erik before, just not in person or in public. Christine remembered the first time she had heard his voice talk to her, believing he was her "Angel of Music", and then she remembered him visiting her dreams as a guy in the shadows with a familiar voice that she took forever to place. Christine was just a little upset when Erik revealed himself as the guy who she believed was an angel that her father had sent to her from heaven, but she forgave Erik and was now happy that she had met him. Christine and Erik had something in common; they both had no parents in their lives, though Christine never asked Erik what had happened to his family; she did not want to bring up painful memories.
The sound of someone knocking on her bedroom door snapped her out of her daydreaming. Christine checked her appearance in the mirror, put a robe on and strode to the door. She peeked out of the eyehole and seen her best friend Meg Giry outside of her door. She opened the door for her friend and beckoned Meg inside of the room. Meg gave Christine a warm hug and then went and sat on the floor by Christine's bed. "You can sit on the bed if you want Meg," Christine said with a smile. Christine had not felt this happy in years, and she couldn't help but wonder if it was because of Erik. Was she starting to like him?
"Christine, you seem so happy this morning," Meg noted. "What has gotten you into this good of a mood? Was it the successful performance?" Meg always could tell what kind of mood Christine was in, even if Christine would try to hide it from her. Meg smiled, "I haven't seen you quite this happy, I am glad you seem really happy though."
"I totally forgot about the performance until you just now mentioned it," Christine stated truthfully. "I am not completely sure why I am this happy, but I think it has something to do with last night after the performance." Christine smiled widely. "You do remember I have been telling you about my Angel of Music, right?" After seeing Meg nod, she continued, "Well, this might sound a little bit creepy at first, but last night I saw him, but he isn't an angel. He is a human just like me and you, and his name is Erik."
"Christine! You talked to a stranger? That's dangerous," Meg exclaimed. "He could have kidnapped you and you could have been killed!" Meg's eyes were open widely, as if she was scared for Christine. "You are not supposed to talk to random strangers, especially when it isn't in public; please tell me it was in public! I'm so glad you are okay Christine."
Christine calmly replied, "No, it was not in public. He showed himself to me, and I must admit I was scared for a minute, but then we got to know each other some, and I wasn't as scared. He is such a lonely person Meg; he needs some friends. I think I might be starting to like him; maybe that is why I seem so happy this morning, and he did not try to harm me in any way Meg." Christine smiled nervously; it had slipped her mind that Meg was an extremely cautious girl.
Meg smiled a little, "Wow, Christine… Are you falling in love with this man, which I have not even met to give you my opinion of him? I'm glad you are safe Christine, but that worried me. You should know how extremely cautious I am, and I really care about you and your safety because you are my best friend."
Christine smiled softly, "I honestly do not know if I am falling for Erik yet, but I think I am starting to like him. I know I hope to see him again, and hopefully one day I'll have you both meet. You have to promise me not to judge him though; he is lonely and I think I am his only friend."
"I promise, but you promise me not to talk to any random strangers again, especially men," Meg told Christine, and Christine nodded in agreement. "I am anxious to meet this fellow that seems to have you falling for him," Meg smiled. Christine knew how Meg liked to tease her and she smiled back softly. "Well, it's going to be a long day, so I think we should go to rehearsal before we are yelled at by my mother." To that statement, Christine quickly got ready and Meg and her made their way to rehearsal.
