A/N: Here's where things get a little...deep...emotionally. Can't say I didn't warn you. Once again I own nothing!
Christine Julia Destler *When we get there, I'm still clinging on to RAMIN phantom, who is still pale. I say with my voice shaky* Wh-where are we..? *I look around*
Sarah Wilkins *GERRY phantom and I slowly stand up. Well actually HE stands up and I follow cause I'm still clinging to him.* (me) it appears to be some sort of...room made out of rock candy...*we take a few steps and then skid into the wall* (GERRY phantom) Ugh...careful...the floor's all slippery...like ice only not cold...
Christine Julia Destler *I take a small step, still holding on to RAMIN phantom's arm, and slips a bit* Yeah... I can tell...
Sarah Wilkins *meanwhile GERRY phantom is pulling himself along the wall, me clinging to him and practically doing a split as he keeps moving* (me) You know if this wasn't so creepy, it'd be fun...
Christine Julia Destler *RAMIN phantom and I are sliding on the ice, and Christine, being a ballerina, is twirling around*
Sarah Wilkins *I see you and shake my head, mumbling* show off...*while GERRY phantom keeps pulling us along, thinking as he walks* (GERRY phantom) You know I'll bet this is what they were making when they got that gigantic sugar over-load...remember when we came home and found the house all trashed and they were sprawled all over the floor singing nursery rhymes?
Christine Julia Destler *I hear you and decide to ignore you, and continue to dance around, while RAMIN phantom keeps an eye on me, in case I fall*
Sarah Wilkins *All of a sudden you're knocked to the floor as GERRY phantom and I come skidding across the room* (me) LOOK out...coming through...*we crash into the opposite wall and are just barely recovering when the room seems to tilt in the OTHER direction*
Christine Julia Destler *I slide to the other side, still on the floor and RAMIN phantom (When I get to the side he is at) Helps me up*
Sarah Wilkins(GERRY phantom) *upon pushing himself away just in time to keep from sliding into you two* Okay, THIS I did NOT teach them! *He glares at your phantom accusingly*
Christine Julia Destler *RAMIN phantom looks at him innocently* Ooops? *I look at him and shake my head*
Sarah Wilkins *GERRY phantom shakes his head as well* Knew I shouldn't have trusted YOU to take over the tunnel-building instructions when you run a CIRCUS!
Christine Julia Destler *He glares at him* It's a FAIR/FREAKSHOW!
Sarah Wilkins SAME THING! I mean WHY go back to something like THAT when you KNOW what it does to the people on display!
Christine Julia Destler Where /I/ work, I don't abuse them, okay? I'm not THAT awful!
Sarah Wilkins *GERRY phantom turns away, remembering* Still. They're on display. *Seeing his tears begin, I pull him into a hug*
Christine Julia Destler *He sighs* I'm sorry... I know...
Sarah Wilkins *As his tears stop, I kiss away the few remaining on his cheek and he pulls me down to the floor next to him and sighs* Alright...we need to think...we obviously can't EAT our way out because mini-Meg will be furious...*his voice fades as his thoughts take over*
Christine Julia Destler *RAMIN phantom nods and we also sit on the floor* What else can we do?
Sarah Wilkins *I sigh and think for a bit, then look around* Hey wait a minute...this is probably what they WANT us to do, just sit around moping so we HAVE to be at their mercy. Christine, you should go back to what you were doing before...and this time we all should join you! Show them we can make the best out of anything they throw at us!
Christine Julia Destler *I smile and stand up then start dancing around, as RAMIN phantom shrugs and joins me*
Sarah Wilkins *GERRY phantom rolls his eyes but lets me pull him to his feet, and as we 'skate' around, more inspiration hits.* (me) *singing* In sleep he sang to me... *I glance over at you to join in*
Christine Julia Destler *I join you in your singing* ...In dreams he came... *I continue twirling and dancing*
Sarah Wilkins *GERRY phantom grabs both of my hands and starts spinning me around* That voice which calls to meeEEEEEE *I scream-giggle as I go flying into the wall*
Christine Julia Destler *I stand up* For now I find *RAMIN phantom also stands up and helps me start twirling again*
Sarah Wilkins (both you and I) the PHAAAAAANTOM of the Opera is here...inside my mind! *GERRY phantom smiles at me as I sing, and as our part finishes he kisses my cheek* Sing once again with me...
Christine Julia Destler *RAMIN phantom grins and takes my hand* ..Our strange duet...
Sarah Wilkins *GERRY phantom picks me up and looks deep into my eyes* My power over you...*I then melt in his arms*
Christine Julia Destler *RAMIN phantom picks me up, mid-twirl, and I giggle* Grows stronger yet...
Sarah Wilkins *GERRY phantom gently wakes me from my trance* And though you turn from me...
Christine Julia Destler *RAMIN phantom puts me down, goes behind me, and embraces me from behind* ...To glance behind...
Sarah Wilkins (both phantoms) the PHAAAAAAANTOM of the Opera is there...inside your mind...*GERRY phantom sings that last part in my ear, and I melt all over again, this time onto the floor. He picks me up, then almost drops me again* Hey look...the spot where she melted...it melted the ice!
Christine Julia Destler *RAMIN phantom rolls his eyes and I continue where we left off* Those who have seen your face...
Sarah Wilkins *GERRY phantom interrupts you* no don't you get it? The ice! It melted! We can get out of here!
Christine Julia Destler *I look up* Oh! *Giggles and cheerfully slides to the spot, with RAMIN phantom following me*
Sarah Wilkins (GERRY phantom) hang on it's not big enough...((I am so grinning right now hehehe)) *he kneels down and picks me up into his arms, and as I start to wake up, he bends down and gets his mouth right next to my ear* Night time sharpens, heightens each sensation...darkness stirs, and wakes imagination...silently the senses...*gets really close* abandon there defenses...*on that last word his lips brush against my cheek, and I melt even more so the hole in the ice gets big enough*
Christine Julia Destler *I raise an eye brow* Geeze, Sarah... *I roll my eyes and I'm about to jump down*
Sarah Wilkins *GERRY phantom just smirks because I am completely incapable of responding to a single word you might say to me at the moment, and he waits for you to go through first*
Christine Julia Destler *I finally jump* OW! *RAMIN phantom quickly jumps in after me to see if I was alright*
Sarah Wilkins *GERRY phantom sits on the edge, waiting to hear what happened while gently trying to wake me up*
Christine Julia Destler *RAMIN phantom to yours* She just scraped her knee... Nothing too bad... *Me* IT'S BLEEDING!
Sarah Wilkins *GERRY phantom nods and, holding me close, slides down in with me* Wait...we should seal that up to keep them from following us...*he points to the hole*
Christine Julia Destler *RAMIN phantom nods* But, with what?
Sarah Wilkins The opposite of melting, obviously...*looks around thinking* cold...cold...something cold...
Christine Julia Destler *He also looks around* HA! Over there! *Points to something*
Sarah Wilkins *GERRY phantom, still trying to wake me, just looks up* What? Where?
Christine Julia Destler Over there! *He points in front of him, and there is a random ice bucket there*
Sarah Wilkins *GERRY phantom finally sees it* That would be nice, but how do we...*gets an idea and starts mumbling* cold...cold unfeeling...*shudders at what he's about to do but he has no choice. Setting me down, he finally is able to wake me up*
Christine Julia Destler *RAMIN phantom watches as your phantom, wondering what he's about to do. I am done moping about my scraped knee*
Sarah Wilkins *As I smile up at GERRY phantom, he greets me with a sad smile* (me) what's wrong? *GERRY phantom* I...I need you to...take off my mask...and then I need you...to scream and turn away. *I'm all confused and very reluctant to hurt him* Oh but I could never do that! *I touch his shoulder but he grasps my hand* (GERRY phantom) It's the only way...I need you do do this...I need to cry on the ice to get it to meld together...to block our route...*he doesn't look at me when he says this*
Christine Julia Destler *I also watch your phantom, sitting cross legged*
Sarah Wilkins *I'm still reluctant* Are you sure? *I meet his gaze then, and he slowly nods. I sigh and we both stand up, and he braces for the inevitable. I almost change my mind, but do what he asks anyway. From the opposite corner of the room, I hear him begin to sob into the ice, and I collapse as my own tears begin to fall*
Christine Julia Destler *As I watch, I can't help but tear up, because it is just really sad. RAMIN phantom sees my tears and sits down next to me*
Sarah Wilkins *Finally GERRY phantom gets the hole sealed up, and I feel his footsteps approach me from behind. Slowly, I feel myself being picked up, and I turn around and hug him close, sobbing into his chest* (me) Don't make me do that again...please...I can't stand this...*GERRY phantom sits me down in his lap and cries with me* (GERRY phantom) I know...I'm sorry...*he sighs after a few moments before pulling away a little bit so he can look into my eyes* Need me to tickle you? *he smirks a little, and I smile back* (me) if you must, you must...*and so he does*
Christine Julia Destler *I giggle a little watching you guys being playful*
