The Phantoms of the Opera And The Things They Do To Annoy Nadir.

Picnic

The boys are walking through the local park.

Cherik: *spots a duck in the pond*

Oh, cute!

Lerik: Indeed. A wonder of nature.

Merik: Look at the feathers! Such beauty! Such elegance! Such mystery!

LIKE ME!

Gerik: *rolls his eyes*

Such drama, that's what.

And would you two care to explain what you're doing?

Cherik: *is leaning dangerously over the edge of the water, trying to give a piece of bread to the confused duck*

Lerik: *is already hollowing out a reed and stepping into the lake*

Kerik: Twenty francs they either fall in or catch hypothermia.

Merik: Thirty.

Kerik: You're on.

Nadir: *glares at them from his picnic blanket with Raoul and Christine*

Boys!

Cherik: *shrieks*

*plummets into the lake.*

*the duck swims away in fright*

Gerik and Merik: who is THAT?!

Lerik and Kerik: *exchange a nervous glance and step back quietly*

Cherik: *emerges from the depths*

*spits out the pondwater in his mouth*

*sees the strange man watching him*

Eerrr... Daaaaad?.... There's a strange man.... Daaaaad, I don't feel safe right now!

Lerik: *grabs Kerik's arm*

Run?

Kerik: *nods*

Yep. Now would be a good time to GET OUT OF HERE!

*sprints off with Lerik in tow*

Run awaaaay! Run awaaaaaaaaay!

Nadir: *sighs*

~•~•~▪~•~•~

Those two! "Run away!" indeed! Meanwhile Cherik, Gerik and Merik are completely in the dark as to who this other man is!

Adorable little Cherik! Who wants to hug him?! Meee!
