Phantom of Lyoko

Phantom of Lyoko

Chapter 1: The Main Cast

It was a normal day at Kadic Academy. Our favorite group of five was in Mrs. Hertz's fifth boring science class in a row when the announcement came.

"Attention, students," Mr. Delmas' voice ran throughout the school. "I know that you have all been waiting for this year's school play…" A groan escaped the mouths of half the students. "And we have finally chosen a play. The cast list has been posted in the cafeteria, along with the name of the play. That is all."

"Oh, wonderful," Yumi sighed, "Now we have another one to go through. Wasn't Romeo and Juliet enough?"

"Let's not dwell on that one," Ulrich said, recalling the laughing gas "incident." Of course, if you asked anyone now, they'd be looking at you like you were insane. They would have no idea what you were talking about because of the RTTP (Return to the Past).

"Well, we have lunch now, so let's go," Ulrich said, getting up from his seat. However, while they were walking to the cafeteria, several of their friends started chuckling as the two passed by. "Alright, something's up," Yumi said. "I wonder…"

"What?" Ulrich asked, but he feared the same thing she did. Together, they shouted, "The cast list!" Both rushed into the cafeteria, and ran to the list on the bulletin board. This is what they first saw.

The Phantom of the Opera

"Oh, God," Ulrich said, reading the next part.

Yumi Ishiyama- Christine Daae

Ulrich Stern- Raoul (Vicomte de Changy)

William Dunbar- Phantom of the Opera

Jeremie Belpois- Andre

Odd Della Robbia- Firmin

Elizabeth Delmas- Carlotta

Aelita Stones- Madame Giry

Milly Solovieff- Meg Giry

Nicolas Poliakoff- Piangi

Theo Gauthier- Joseph Buquet

"OK, so we have the parts of Christine and Rah-ool, or whatever," Yumi said.

"Hey, guys!" Jeremie shouted, followed by Aelita and Odd. "I see you two found out your parts. So what are they?"

Ulrich looked mortified, while Yumi looked calmer. "I got the part of Christine," Yumi said, still clueless as to what was going on.

"Judging from your mortified face, you got Raoul, didn't you?" Odd asked.

"So that's how it's pronounced!" Yumi exclaimed.

"That's enough proof for me!" Aelita said.

"Alright, what's going on? You're all keeping something from me. Tell me now!" Yumi angrily shouted.

"You mean you don't know?" Jeremie said, trying to hold back his laughter. "You need to brush up on your musicals."

"It's a musical?!" Yumi exasperatedly screamed. This caused the surrounding tables to look up in shock.

"I've spent most of my life in Ly-" taking note of the other tables, saying, "in Canada, and yet I know this!" Aelita laughed hysterically.

Odd, feeling it was unwise to taunt her any longer without being beaten to a pulp, told her the bad news. "There are three main characters, Yumi. One is the title character, the Phantom of the Opera."

Aelita picked up from there. "Another is Ulrich's part, Raoul."

Jeremie finished it up. "And the last is… Well, it's your part, Yumi. It's Christine Daae." Not the best way to break it to her.

"WHAT?!"
