I haven't posted my Phantom story here, have I? Even though I haven't finished it, I think all my friends that are Phantom phans would enjoy it very much!

The people in my IPC class are insane...none of them like First Knight! WTH?! *glares* I didn't think that was possible...

Anyway, the story...

Random person: "QUIET, I HEAR THE PHANTOM!"
Amanda: "Well, you're not being quiet"
Heather: "The Phantom is our friend!"
*organ plays*
H: "YAY, time to see the Phantom again! Told ya he was our friend. Come, Amanda, we shall goooooooo!"
*we sing*
H: The Phaaaaaaaaaaaa *deep breath* aaaaaantom of the oe-pe-ra *cough* o-pe-ra, INSIDE OUR MINDS!!"
A: "I am the mask you wear..." *bursts into Phantom's lair with organ blairing in its majesty. Phantom starts singing*
Phantom: "IT'S ME THEY HEAR!! muahahaha!"
*organ plays fiercly*
P: "SING, MY ANGELS OF MUSIC!!" *plays organ harder*
A and H: "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa *deep breaths* aaaaaaah!!"
*everyone sings*
"The phaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa *deep breaths from H and A* aaaaaaaantom of the oe-pe-ra *cough from Phantom* o-pe-ra is thereeeeeeeeeeeeee...*Phantom stops singing* inside or minds...YAY!!"
*A and H rush to the organ and pound away on it*
DOOOOOOOOOOON...DOOOOOOON...DONDONDONDONDONNNNNNNNN!!!!!
P: "PLAY FOR MEEEEE, MY ANGELS OF MUSIC!!! Yooooooooou have come here, for one purpose and one alone, SO PLAY FOR MEEEEEEEEE!!!"
*organ music gets faster and more powerful*
P: "PLAY FOR MEEE!!!!!" *echoes*
*H stops playing and takes the Phantom's mask off*
P: NOOOOOOOOO!!! WHAT DO YA WANNA SEE?!!! I'm a hideous gargoyle!"
H: "Hey, gargoyles are cool"
P: *blank* "Well...uh...that's not the point"
H: "Yes it is. Gargoyles aren't ugly and neither are you." *goes back to organ and sings...* "FRATELLI GARGOYLES, RUBAMI!"
*my pet gargoyle comes*
H: "Hey, Luca the Shiny!"
*Luca perches on organ. A pets him and her hands end up shiny*
*Phantom stares at the shininess
Phantom: "He's so...shiny"
Heather: "See? There's beauty in everything. No matter what you look like, we'll like you for who you are."
*Phantom starts crying* "Thanks, my angels of music. You will be the only ones to see my true face."
Amanda: "Can we make your mask shiny? And the organ, too?"
P: "Do whatever you want."
*Luca the Shiny spreads his shinyness on the organ and the mask*
*Phantom smiles* "It's almost time for you to go...could you play for me again?
*we dance and rush back to the organ*
*Someone on the stage of the opera house* "WOW! *THAT* is music!! If we could have an organ player like that, we would have 2 times the people that come to the opera!"
*back in the Phantom's lair...Phantom's mouth hangs open from amazement* "That was...beautiful...more than beautiful. Actually, there's no word to describe how beautiful that was!
H: "You've been a great teacher!" *hugs Phantom*
P: "Come back tomorrow at the same time. I'll be waiting eagerly!"
*both of us sing as we go back up to ground level...* "In sleep he sang to me, in dreams he came"
H: "Hey Amanda! I think if we perform for Andre, that we could perform in the opera! What do ya think?"
A: We should ask the Phantom 1st."
H: Good idea."
*goes to see Andre*
H: "Hey Andre! Could we try out to play the organ tomorrow afternoon?"
AN: "Well, I wouldn't see why not! See ya tomorrow"
A: "I hope the Phantom agrees"
*tomorrow, at the Phantom's lair...*
P: "So how are my angels of music doing today?"
H: Good...we need to ask ya a question."
P: "Go ahead"
A: "Do ya think we could play the organ in the opera?"
P: "Of course ya can! I'd love to hear ya play. Have ya asked Andre yet?"
A: "We're gonna perform for him this afternoon"
P: "Good luck."
*later*
H: "Hey Andre! We've come to perform"
AN: Ah, yes. The organ is here"
*We play exactly as we did for the Phantom*
A: "How was it?"
AN: "There are no words to describe how beautiful that was! You are definitley going to perform."
H: "When's the next opera?"
AN: "It's 'Italia Roma' in 3 days" *Andre walks off*
H: "'ITALIA ROMA????!!!' That's my fave opera ever! Remember is was when we 1st saw the Phantom and we had a tea party on the roof and Luca saved front row seats for us??"
A: "Of course I do! You threw shiny dust everywhere and the opera had *major* organ action...AND WE GET TO PLAY IT!!!!!!!"
H: "I can't wait to tell the Phantom"
A: "He probably already knows"
H: "Probably..."
*next day...the Phantom looks up from what he's doing*
P: "Heather and Amanda sound happy. Anyone could tell that from the way they're singing"
H: "Masquerade, paper faces on parade!"
A: "FAAAAACES! FAAAAACES!!"
H: Italia Roma, Italia Roma, may you always be SHINYYYYYY!!!"
*runs into Phantom's lair*
*both* "THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA IS HEEEEEEEERE!!!"
Phantom: "Of course I am! Why so happy?"
Heather: "We get to play the organ in 'Italia Roma'!"
P: "Wow! Great job!"
Amanda: "Thanks for all you've done!"
H: "Soooo...who's the diva?"
P: "The main diva is Kathryn"
A: "Oh yeah! She was amazing last time"
H: "Do you know where we could see her?"
P: "Her room is next to yours. Go see her, and bring her down here. I wanna thank her for her love of opera and music"
H: "OK!"
*goes to Kathryn's room and knocks on her door*
K: "Come in"
H: "Hi. You're the diva in the next opera, right? We're the new organ players"
K: "Cool! We've needed a new one. Nice to meet ya"
A: "There's someone who wants to see you, but promise to tell no one"
K: "I promise"
A: "Ok, let's go"
*at the phantom's lair*
H: "We've brought Kathryn!"
K: "Who are you?"
P: "You can call me Erik. I hear you singing, and you have one of the most beautiful voices I've ever heard. I thank you for your love of music"
K: "Oh, you're welcome"
P: "I have a splendid idea! Amanda and Heather, you play the organ, and Kathryn, you can sing"
*H and A go to the organ and K starts singing*
K: "Italia Roma, may you..." *mouth drops open* "That's...that's...amazing! You guys will draw so many people to the opera!"
Heather: "Thanks! Erik has been a great teacher."
Kathryn: "I can tell"
Amanda: "I have an awesome idea! Before the opera, let's have another tea party on the roof of the opera house!"
Everyone: OK!"
*3 days later...organ plays*
H: "Yay! Time for the tea party. Come Kathryn and Amanda!"
*we meet Erik on the roof*
E: "Everyone excited about the opera?"
Everyone: "YES!!"
E: "I heard Luca is gonna be there"
H: "Really?! Then we better entertain him well!"
A: "Where will you be watching, Erik?"
E: "Box 5, of course. It better be empty"
Heather: "Yeah, it better. He needs his own box for privacy!"
*few hours later...Andre talks in a booming voice*
AN: "Hello, ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to tonight's performance of 'Italia Roma'! We have our main diva, Kathryn, and our new organ players, Heather and Amanda!"
*audience claps*
AN: "This opera is about ancient Rome. Enjoy!"
*Kathryn starts singing* "Roma! Roma! May you al;ways be.." *H and A start playing the organ*..."GLOOOOOUUURRRIOOOSSSS!!!"
*plays organ harder*
K: "ROMA!! ROMA!! ITALIA ITALIA!!!"
*organ playing gets more powrful*
*Random person*: "WOW...they're VERY good!"
*Another RP*: "I heard the phantom of the opera taught them"
*Kathryn looks up at sees Erik in Box 5. Erik waves*
K: "Ooooooohhhh...Roma's warriors are the fiercest in the land! They have the power of STEEL!!"
*on the word "steel," organ plays fiercer and more amazing than ever before*
*everyone in the opera house is entranced. Erik starts crying cause it's so beautiful. Luca Turilli is also at the opera*
Luca: "Being entranced by divas with amazingily operatic voices and prodigy organ players and watching operas about my homeland RULES!"
*the end of the opera nears...it's Heather and Amanda's organ solo. They play to 'Italia Roma's' main theme*
H & A: Donnn...don..doooon...doooooooon...doon...dondondondon!!!
*we finish. Everyone in the opera comes on stage and bows. The audience is screaming...* "KATHRYN!!! AMANDA!!! HEATHER!!! WE WANT MORE!!!!!"
*all 3 of them blush crimson. Audience throws flowers. We finally go offstage and go to our rooms*
Erik: Heather, Amanda, Kathryn, come down here."
Heather: "Can Luca come too?"
E: "All right"
*we go to find Luca. He's in the foyer*
H: "Hey Luca! Wanna go somewhere with us?"\
Luca: "I'll go anywhere with you"
*we bring him to Erik's lair*
L: "Hey, you're the person I see in Box 5 sometimes. Who are you?"
E: "You can call me Erik. I taught Heather and Amanda to play the organ"
L: "AWESOME!" *looks around* "Who made the organ shiny? Did ya steal some of my shinyness?"
H: "Nope. Luca the Shiny, my pet gargoyle, did it"
L: "You named him after me? Why?"
H: "In honor of you and your shinyness"
E: "Well, anyway, you guys were AWESOME in the opera! Can't wait till you can play and sing in the next one"
Amanda: "When's the next one?"
E: "The next one is 'Sword of the King' in 3 weeks"
*Luca looks excited* "There's not as much organ action, but it has the most complex organ action of any opera here. Kathryn gets to sing more though"
K: "That's why I like this opera so much"
H: "Are there any swordfights?"
E: Tons! Lotsa steel on steel.."
*H squeals and blushes. Erik, Amanda, Kathryn and Luca burst out laughing*
Heather: "Is the organ music very medieval?"
Erik: "Oh, yes, very medieval and epic and battle-ish"
H: "YIPPIE!!!" *dances*
Amanda: "Can we see the organ music?"
E: "Sure! Let me go find them"
*Kathryn starts humming* "Doon don dee don donn donna don don"
A: "Whatcha humming?"
K: "Nothin' important...just bored"
*Erik emerges with lotsa papers* "Hey Luca! There's a guitar part in this song. No one's been able to play, though. Wanna try?"
Luca: "Sure!"
E: "Come back tomorrow. Everyone else can come too"
*tomorrow, at Erik's lair*
E" Hey all"
Everyone: "Hey!"
*Heather headbangs and pretends to play guitar. Amanda joins in and does \m/. Luca gives them a very weird look and Erik starts laughing. Kathryn is confused.*
E: "Ok, anyway, Luca, ready to play?"
L: "Yeah! *gets out shiny guitar* Very powerful, man, very powerful."
E: "Here's the music"
*everyone watches anxiously while Luca looks it over. Then he starts playing as if he had always played that. Everyone is amazed as Luca finishes*
E: "Luca Turilli, from Triste, Italy, and guitarist of Rhapsody and your own band, you've just done the impossible!!"
L: "Nothing's inpossible. It was quite easy. You just gotta know how to read the music right"
E: "I think we have some prodigys here!"
H: "Yep! You're also a prodigy!"
Amanda: "I'm glad you're a prodigy, cause now we can play the organ amazingly and be in operas!"
Erik: "Play something else, Luca!"
*Luca plays his solo from "Unholy Warcry." Heather and Amanda headbang to it and Luca joins in*
Kathryn: "These people are weird!"
E: "It looks fun!" *Erik tries* "It is fun!!" *Erik headbangs harder, but his mask falls off. He doesn't realize it. Then Luca finishes*
Heather: "Play something else!!"
*he starts playing to "Demonheart."
H: "She has a demonheart..."
A: "DEMONHEART!!"
E: "Nooo I don't like this song! Reminds me of what people say about me"
K: "Um, Erik, your mask fell off"
*Erik's face goes pale*
Kathryn: "So that's why you wear a mask."
Erik: "No compassion anywhere! None...none...NONE!!! All hate, no love!"
Luca: "You're hated cause of a deformity? Ya know, people shouldn't hate someone just cause you look different. They should see the true beauty that goes beyobd looks. We'll like you, no matter what."
Heather: "Definitley! And you're still very handsome." *Amanda and Kathryn nod in agreement*
*Erik blushes ans starts crying. He sits down on the ground hard-like and cries into his hands. Everyone leaves when he doesn't move and says nothing. Everyone goes to Heather's room and waits to see if Erik will call us*
Amanda: "POOR ERIK!!! It's sad he's been hated all his life"
*a solumn piano piece plays*
Everyone: "Poor Erik!"
*Andre walks in* "Hey! I-"
H: "What's wrong?"
AN: "I've heard this piano piece many times. It always starts out soft, like now, then an insane and angry organ solo plays. Get out while you can!"
K: "We are staying" *everyone else nods*
AN: "Very well" *he leaves*
*Heather, Kathryn and Amanda all look at each other*
HKA: "AND ANGRY AND INSANE ORGAN SOLO!!!!!!!!!!!!"
