A/N: Told you I'd give you more soon. This chapter introduces a cameo/possible intro to the next story, whenever that may be. You'll see who I mean when you get there, as this cameo is pretty obvious. As always, I own nothing!
Christine Julia Destler ~FAST FORWARD to next morning~ *I wake up, extra early and make my way to RAMIN phantom's room. I was secretly a nervous wreck that night and when I get in, I sneak into his bed and watch him sleep*
Sarah Wilkins *When I wake up, there is a note on my chest. Smiling, I open it* "Come to me, Angel of Music...Down once more..." *Smiling even wider, I quickly get dressed and go down to GERRY phantom's lair*
Christine Julia Destler *RAMIN phantom wakes up and sees me next to him. He chuckles and pulls me close* Well, hello... (Me) Hi... I couldn't sleep... (RAMIN phantom) *Frowns but doesn't ask why* Sorry to hear that. *Kisses my forehead* (Me) *Giggles* Thanks...
Sarah Wilkins *As I walk through the passageways, a pair of hands cover my eyes* ('mysterious' voice) Walk forward and trust me...*he almost growls. I stifle a giggle and walk forward, him guiding me from behind. Pretty soon, I feel myself being placed onto a seat, and the floor below me moves a bit.* Keep your eyes closed until I say. *I nod, and feel myself moving even more. Finally, we stop.* Now... *I open my eyes and see that he has modified his gondola a bit. We are in the middle of the lake, and instead of facing forward, I am facing him, and there is a simple table in between us, a full breakfast waiting. I gasp, and he smirks* (Me) Oh it's...you didn't have to do all this! *He shrugs* I wanted to. *We smile at each other and begin eating*
Christine Julia Destler *RAMIN phantom just holds me for a bit longer, before deciding to go downstairs with me for breakfast*
Sarah Wilkins *After we finish eating, GERRY phantom rows us around a bit before landing the boat at his living quarters. He then helps me out before sitting me down in front of the organ. Sitting down next to me, he begins playing, and I close my eyes and lean against him*
Christine Julia Destler *When we get downstairs, we see the Giry's and we talk and eat breakfast for a bit*
Sarah Wilkins *As GERRY phantom plays, I see a few mini's poking their heads out of the shadows. Not wanting to disturb him, I slip away and over to them, recognizing them right away as the two leaders and mini-Meg* What is it? *I whisper. They just look at each other before mini-GERRY phantom leader speaks up* We were wondering...when he was going to fulfill his side of the agreement...
Christine Julia Destler *After a while, we go back to RAMIN phantom's room and talk some more*
Sarah Wilkins *I sigh* NOW? You're asking this NOW? *All of a sudden, the music stops, and I hear GERRY phantom approaching* Can I help you? *His voice clearly shows his annoyance at the disturbance, and I move back a bit to let them talk. The mini-GERRY phantom leader repeats his question, and GERRY phantom lets out an exasperated sigh* Look. I'll get to it, don't worry. I've just had a BIT of a load on my mind, if you hadn't noticed! *He shows them my ring* (mini's) Oh. *GERRY phantom nods pointedly* Yeah, oh. Now look. I promise to help you after the wedding. Until then...take the house as collateral. *He pulls me close to him and smiles* We won't be needing it anymore...*The mini's hesitate a bit before agreeing to this, and they skip away. GERRY phantom and I stand up, and he pulls me into a kiss* We should probably get back. I'm sure that Madame Giry will want to plan some more with you...*I smile and we kiss again before he leads me back upstairs*
Christine Julia Destler *I hear you two come up and walk out of RAMIN phantom's room*
Sarah Wilkins (GERRY phantom) So...same as yesterday then? Rehearsals, tea, shopping for you two, and back to work for RAMIN phantom and I?
Christine Julia Destler *As I hear you two talking, I make my way up to you two, with RAMIN phantom at my side*
Sarah Wilkins (Me) GERRY phantom was just wondering...same schedule as yesterday?
Christine Julia Destler *I nod a bit* S-sure... *RAMIN phantom also nods before whispering to you* Poor think couldn't sleep last night...
Sarah Wilkins *I nod in understanding and pull you into a hug*
Christine Julia Destler *I hug back* Wh-what is this for?
Sarah Wilkins *I look up and shrug* Can't a friend hug a friend just because? *I smile*
Christine Julia Destler *I smile back* Yeah, sure... *Giggles a bit* I need coffee... *Begins to walk off, but RAMIN phantom stops me, not wanting me to drink too much* No... How about /I/ get it for you? *I simply nod and he walks off. I look at you two*
Sarah Wilkins *GERRY phantom comes up behind me and smiles* Shall we go see if Madame Giry needs us for anything?
Christine Julia Destler *I smile and keep quiet, daydreaming a bit*
Sarah Wilkins *GERRY phantom raises an eyebrow and sighs* I take that as a yes...*He leads us down the hall to Madame Giry's quarters, and she is just exiting* (Mme. Giry) Oh! I was just about to look for you. Christine, are you...feeling up to rehearsals today?
Christine Julia Destler *Snaps out of it* Oh, you were talking to me? *Giggles* Sorry... *Follows you and when she sees Mme. Giry, smiles* Sure!
Sarah Wilkins *She nods and leads the way toward the stage. GERRY phantom and I hang back a bit to uh...bid each other a good day...and then I make my way to the seat I'd had the day before*
Christine Julia Destler *Even though I don't see Raoul, I can't help looking up there, just by chance that he might. I continue dancing and all that*
Sarah Wilkins *As soon as I sit, I glance up at Box Five and see that it's empty.* GERRY phantom would be pleased...*I think to myself, remembering his infamous, distinct order that it remain empty. Smiling a bit, I lean back and enjoy the rehearsals.*
Christine Julia Destler *After half-an-hour, I take a break, looking at Box Five and making my way to you* Heeey...
Sarah Wilkins *I smile at you* Hi! It's coming together really good! *Something comes to my mind just then, and I start giggling*
Christine Julia Destler *Nods* Thanks... *Is still a little distant but looks at you* What?
Sarah Wilkins *I control my giggles* Your coffee...your phantom went to get it and you never got it...*I start giggling again*
Christine Julia Destler *I blink a few times* Oh yeah... *Forces a smile and sits down next to you*
Sarah Wilkins *Just then I feel something land on my head* What in the...*I reach up and grab it, and see that it's one of HIS notes. Smiling, I start to open it.*
Christine Julia Destler *I look and laugh a bit*
Sarah Wilkins "My beautiful Sarah, how I love to watch you from above. Tell your friend that she is being summoned to the hallway." *I smile and relay the message*
Christine Julia Destler *I look at the note* Well?
Sarah Wilkins *I look back at you and shrug* I guess you're wanted in the hallway by...someone...*Just then I hear something heavy drop into the seat beside me, and I shriek a bit and jump forward. My reaction is met with laughter, however, and as I whirl around, I find myself face-to-face with a very handsome masked man, who pulls me back to my seat and into a hug. As he finishes laughing, he looks over my head at you* As I said. Your phantom is waiting...he's been standing there for hours holding a steaming mug of coffee...
Christine Julia Destler *I shrug* Well, why didn't he just come in? *I go out*
Sarah Wilkins *GERRY phantom kisses the top of my head* (Me) I thought you had work to do... (GERRY phantom) I'm entitled to a break now and then...especially if it means seeing you...*He kisses me again, and we turn our attention to the stage as the cast members wander about*
Christine Julia Destler *I come back, with my coffee and sit down, again look up at Box Five and frowning a bit*
Sarah Wilkins *GERRY phantom sees you* What's wrong? And didn't RAMIN phantom come with you? *I look over and see concern filling his face*
Christine Julia Destler *I look at him and shake my head* Oh, nothing is wrong... And, here is RAMIN phantom now... *He comes walking in*
Marianne Enjolras *Erik Revanche walks casually through the auditorium with me on his arm* (Erik) My dear, this is what rehearsals normally look like... everyone milling around... *I laugh and see them all* (me) Darling... I think we need to go somewhere else... *he sees them and smiles sheepishly* (Erik) Of course... *he kisses me and leads me to his lair, kicking a mini RAMIN phantom and a mini GERRY phantom as they try to trip me up* ~EnjolrasAmy~
Sarah Wilkins *GERRY phantom turns to me all of a sudden* Did you hear something? (Me) Like what? (GERRY phantom) I thought...I heard two mini's screaming...*He shakes his head in bewilderment, and I just shrug before turning to you* Christine, did you hear it?
Christine Julia Destler *I shake my head* No... *RAMIN phantom speaks up* I think I heard it too, though...
Sarah Wilkins *GERRY phantom breathes a sigh of relief* Well, at least I know I'm not imagining things...by the way, you didn't burn your hands holding that coffee, did you? *smirks a bit*
Christine Julia Destler *RAMIN phantom raises an eyebrow* No... Why? *Looks down at his hands, as if GERRY phantom did something to him*
Sarah Wilkins *GERRY phantom shrugs* No reason...I just thought you would have, seeing as you were standing there for at least a few hours...
Christine Julia Destler *RAMIN phantom just laughs a little* Well, no worries... I'm alright.
Sarah Wilkins *GERRY phantom smiles a bit, then looks at me and sighs* Well, I suppose I should be getting back to the lair...*He pulls me into a hug and a kiss before standing up* I shall see you at four for tea, as always. *I nod and smile up at him, and after one more kiss he makes his way toward the theater exit.*
Christine Julia Destler *I watch and when he leaves I stand up* So... Are we just going to do what we usually do, or...?
Sarah Wilkins *I nod* Yes...it looks like Madame Giry is gathering everyone back up on stage to continue rehearsals...
Christine Julia Destler *I nod and make my way to the stage. RAMIN phantom sits next to you and sighs*
Sarah Wilkins *I glance over at him* So...how are you feeling?
Christine Julia Destler *Looks at you* Alright... Still a little worried but I'm fine. Don't worry about me... *Smiles a little as he watches me dance*
Sarah Wilkins *I nod and smile before turning my attention to the stage as well. I am still watching the rehearsals, although my mind keeps shifting to day dreams about my future with GERRY phantom...*
Christine Julia Destler *RAMIN phantom takes his eyes off me and looks at you. When he sees you daydreaming he chuckles* Hey, Sarah... *Waves a hand in front of your face*
Sarah Wilkins *I slowly look over at him* Huh...? *I grin*
Christine Julia Destler *Smirks* Were you day dreaming?
Sarah Wilkins (Me) Maybe...hehehe... **Back at the lair, GERRY phantom is approaching his living quarters when he hears noises coming from his bed.*
Marianne Enjolras (me) Erik... are you sure? *scared tremor in her voice*
Sarah Wilkins *GERRY phantom grasps a nearby candlestick and slowly approaches the bed, glaring furiously. He pulls aside the curtain, and...*
A/N: I know what you're thinking. You're thinking I'm absolutely horrid for leaving you off like that. Well no, horrid would be to not post anymore for say...a week? Put the Punjabs away. I'm actually going to be NICE and post more as soon as I finish posting this one. Happy? :)
