Erik and Lucille entered Erik's lair from Madame Giry's home. Lucille looked at her surroundings, and she brightly smiled since she loved the atmosphere that Erik's lair releases. She closed her bright blue eyes, and she sighed happily since the room has always made her feel so safe.

Erik glanced at Lucille, and his gaze softened since he liked that his lair made her feel safe. Then again, his home was where they met for the first time.

" You know it has been three months since you fell into my lair from the Heavens," Erik speaks, causing Lucille to open her bright blue eyes.

" And you saved my life!" Lucille brightly smiled.

" And I will continue to do that," Erik reassures while guiding Lucille through the lair to a door.

" Erik," Lucille swings their arms up and down.

" Yes?" Erik responded while opening the door, and they stepped inside a hallway.

" If something were to happen where I leave the Opera House. Would you always remember me?" Lucille asked, looking and sounding anxious.

Erik's dark blue eyes blinked when he heard Lucille's question.

" What kind of question is that, Lucille?" Erik amusingly chuckled. " You live at the Opera House, remember," He closed his dark blue eyes and smiled at Lucille.

" Papa told me that once he finished building his secret project. We would be leaving the Opera House," Lucille's bright blue eyes intently stared at Erik. " And-And I do not know how long we have left in this place," She begins to tear up.

Erik opens his dark blue eyes, and he frowns when he sees Lucille's bright blue eyes getting teared up.

" If-If something were to happen that you need to leave. I assure you that I will always remember you," Erik gently wipes Lucille's tears away with his arm sleeve.

Lucille's watery bright blue eyes intently stared at Erik's dark blue eyes.

" Promise?" Lucille held her pinky finger to Erik.

" I promise," Erik wraps his pinky finger around Lucille's, and the two youths gently kiss their thumbs to seal the deal.

Lucille begins to brighten up again since she doesn't want to ruin their day by being sad. She grabbed Erik's arm, and the two youths began to walk down the hallway to the sewers.

Erik silently stared at the back of Lucille's head. The thought of Lucille leaving the Opera House was going to be in his head for the whole day.

Lucille stops walking, and she sees a door in front of her. Her nose immediately scrunched up when she smelt the awful scent of dirty water and garbage, which let her know they had reached the sewers.

" Erik! Can you help me open this door?" Lucille turned her back, and her bright blue eyes blinked when she saw Erik with a distant gaze. " Erik?" She calls out, which brings him back to his senses.

" Yes! What's wrong? Are you alright?" Erik asked, looking and sounding concerned.

" I'm okay! But, can you open this door for me?" Lucille asked while pointing at the metal door.

" Of course!" Erik nods his head. He grabbed the door handle and used some of his strength to open the metal door.

Lucille carefully steps into the sewer, seeing the murky water in front of her. She looks away as she steps to the side to let Erik enter.

" Ready?" Lucille asked.

" I'm ready," Erik nods his head in response. He grabs Lucille's hand, and the two youths walk through the sewer to a metal ladder.

Erik lets Lucille climb up the metal ladder first to catch her if she slips and falls.

Lucille carefully climbs up the metal ladder, with Erik following behind her. Once the two youths reached the top, Erik used his strength to open the maintenance hole by pushing and setting it to the side.

Lucille's bright blue eyes sparkled, and her smile widened when she heard the festival's music. She carefully got out of the sewer and looked at her surroundings.

" I can hear the music. We must be near," Lucille jumps up and down in excitement.

Erik gets out of the sewer, and he carefully puts the maintenance hole back in its original spot.

" Stay close to me, Lucille," Erik turns to Lucille.

Lucille nods her head in response, looking down at her outfit.

" Do I look okay?" Lucille asked with her hands lightly grasping the lower half of her dress.

Erik stood straight, and he softly smiled at Lucille.

" You look perfect, Lucille," Erik reassures, not seeing any dirt on her dress.

" Thank you!" Lucille happily smiled, and she turned to Erik, seeing him fix his hooded cloak, which hid his face.

" Let's check out the festival!" Lucille grabs Erik's gloved hand, and the two youths walk out of the alleyway and into the crowded street.

Erik tightly grasped Lucille's hand, warily looking at his surroundings as he and Lucille walked through the crowded street to the St. Valentine's Day festival.

Lucille looked at her surroundings in awe, seeing so many red, pink, and white confetti falling all around her. They reminded her of rose petals.

Lucille immediately stopped walking, which caused Erik to stop walking as well. He looked down at her, and his dark blue eyes blinked when he saw her stare at the festival activities with fascination.

" I do not know where to begin," Lucille mumbled, and she turned to stare at Erik. " Can we check everything out?" She asked, looking excited.

Erik's gaze softened, and he nodded.

" Yay!" Lucille cheered. She walks with Erik to a nearby booth. Her bright blue eyes sparkled when she saw some adults and kids throwing darts at the balloons and winning prizes.

" Look! Look! They are throwing darts at the balloons and winning stuff. Want to play that?" Lucille asked while pointing at the booth.

" Yes," Erik nods his head, looking at the booth with curiosity.

Lucille and Erik approached the booth, and they watched adults and kids play the game before they did it.

" How much to play this game?" Erik asked.

" 2.88 Francs for five darts," The male employee responded.

Erik nods his head in response. He grabs his money pouch and puts some money in the male employee's hand.

" Five for me. And five for the young lady next to me," Erik motioned to Lucille.

Lucille kindly smiled.

" Alright," The male employee nods his head, and he gives five darts each to Lucille and Erik.

Lucille and Erik grabbed their darts, and they began to throw the darts at the balloons. Erik popped all five balloons while Lucille only popped two balloons.

The male employee gives Lucille a purple toy ring for popping two balloons.

" Pretty," Lucille takes the purple toy ring and admires it.

" Why is her prize so small?" Erik asked, looking and sounding curious.

" The kid only popped two balloons," The male employee explained. " You, however, popped all five. You can get the bigger prize," He motioned to the big prizes behind him.

Erik turns his gaze to Lucille.

" Lucille. Which one do you want?" Erik asked while pointing at the big prizes.

Lucille puts her purple toy ring in her right index finger, and she lifts her head to stare at the big prizes. She gasped when something familiar caught her bright blue eyes.

" Hades!" Lucille shouts while pointing at a stuffed Black horse.

Erik turns his gaze to the stuffed Black horse, and his eyes softened since the toy does remind him of his best friend, Hades.

" Do you want that stuffed animal, Lucille?" Erik asked while pointing at the stuffed Black horse.

Lucille excitedly nods her head.

" I will take that one, Monsieur," Erik points to the stuffed Black horse.

The male employee nods his head. He grabs the stuffed Black horse, and he gives it to Erik.

Erik grabs the stuffed Black horse, and he then turns to Lucille, holding the toy to her.

" Here you go, Lucille," Erik fondly smiled.

" Thank you!" Lucille grabs the stuffed Black horse and hugs the toy close to her.

Even though Erik's face got hidden underneath his hooded cloak, he is beaming with joy that Lucille loves the prize he won for her.
