Hey there everybody! I'm back with part two of the last chapter! I'm sorry it took so long, I kinda had a bit of trouble coming up with the enxt chapter. But, it's here now, so yay!

And guess what? Wanda comes back in! Yay!

For those of you wondering, no I did not forget about that character. She just wasn't in the last few chapters. But she's in this one!

And now... The Disclaimer!

Disclaimer: I own nothing except my own original characters, Lulu and Wanda. That should be pretty obvious by now, shouldn't it?

Chapter 10: A Masquerade! Yippee! Pt. 2

"Phew," I breathed. Getting in that dress was harder than I thought. But, after a take in the mirror, it was so worth it.

I walked over to where Gerik was currently applying black make-up to his eyes.

"So, what's the game plan?" I asked.

"I beg your pardon?" He asked, turning to look at me with raised eyebrows.

"Well, what exactly is gonna happen tonight? You just can't just crash the party looking all totally-not-scary and intimidating everyone there!"

"And just why shouldn't I?"

"Because it just might mess up things with Christine."

"... Well, then what do you suppose I do?" He asked.

I scratched my chin for a minute, then grinned.

Light bulb!

I walked through the dark hallway, following the sounds of music and laughter. I needed to get there before people started singing (I assumed people would randomly break into song here because they did it in the movie) so that I could figure out what exactly I should do when Christine came.

I finally found a door into the party, but before I went inside, I decided I needed a little advice from a certain fairy godmother.

Wanda? Are you there? I thought to myself.

"Yes dear?"

"GAH!" I yelled, spinning around to see Wanda in all her girly glory.

"Shh! You don't want people to hear you!" Wanda warned.

"I couldn't help it! You scared me to death!" I put a hand to my heart, trying to lower my heart-rate.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. Now, what is it you wanted to ask me?"

"Well, I kinda want your advice on something."

"Yes?"

"Well, how do you think I should get Christine to be my friend?" I asked.

Yup. A boring plan, but a plan nonetheless.

You see, if I became friends with Christine, then she would grow to trust me, and I could talk about Gerik in a good way, and try to influence her to like him more. As for Raoul, I wasn't sure. He was a nice guy and all, but for me to get out of here, I had to get Christine to fall for Gerik. So, unfortunately, he had to leave the picture.

"Should I just go up to her and talk to her? Or should I do something else?" I asked, not sure how to go about with this.

"Well, just be civil and friendly, and become friends with her," Wanda suggested.

"Just like that? No more advice?" I asked.

"Well, that's as simple as I can say it. So, that's what I think you should do."

"Alright, I'll try. Making friends isn't really hard, but I feel like this time it might."

"Well dear, just try your best," Wanda replied, before poofing away.

I turned around towards the door again, and stared at the light coming out from the bottom.

I sighed, gave myself a vote of confidence, and walked through the door.

Another cliffhanger! Hope ya'll don't mind. I'm kinda doing this on purpose, cause the Masquerade part of the story is gonna be LONG. And I'm so tired. Reviews please!
