This is a birthday gift for my long-time friend, Her birthday was a few days ago and I was going to have this done on Sunday but couldn't get it done due to personal issues I had to deal with that day. DX

Anyway, this features one of her favorite pairings, opticshipping (Pegasus x Shizuka). I thought I would use the "Music of the Night" scene from the Phantom of the Opera because Pegsy seems like the perfect Phantom, and Shizuka is so sweet and innocent (and slightly naive) like Christine. I didn't know if you liked Phantom or not, so I apologize if you dislike this movie/musical, Yamiko. Hope you like it anyway and Happy (belated) Birthday. Luv ya bunches. :3

Rikku's notes: Normally I dislike setting things to critique not desired, but this is set to critique not desired due to:
-my pen and colored pencils messing up (they were not cooperating with me today and my pen ran out of ink so I had to switch to a new one)
-my lousy attempt at replicating the canopy bed from the scene in the movie
-I did not get the details down really well. It was really hard for me to find a decent reference of the Phantom's and Christine's outfits from that scene. o-o;
-The mere fact that this is a gift made for a friend and I do not want rabid Yu-Gi-Oh fans flaming me because of the pairing, or rabid Phantom of the Opera fans flaming me because they don't like Yu-Gi-Oh or something
