Anywhere Far From Peter

A/N: Hello readers, this is my first fanfic (though I have prior experience in writing) so I apologize for any OOC (I shall try my best!). But I hope you enjoy my story.

P.S. Yes I am going to try and have Peter rhyme :) a lot.

Disclaimer: I do not own HnKnA

"Good morning Julius" Alice greeted standing in the doorway of his office, holding a steaming cup of coffee, she walked over to stand next to him and place the coffee on his desk.

He looked up slightly, took a sip of the coffee and then returned to working on the clock in front of him "80 points" he murmured.

"Again!" Alice moaned

"As I said you grind the beans too much and as always I look forward to the next cup." He stopped working long enough to gaze at Alice who smiled warmly.

"Honey I'm home" Ace burst in trough the doorway wearing his blood covered cloak and winking mask. "Oh am I interrupting?" He asked as Julius gave him a pointed look and returned to his work as Ace threw a sac of clocks on his desk.

"Late. Again"

"Am I?" Ace mused removing his mask he leaned in close to Alice "Hey Alice" he beamed.

"Hi" she stepped back slightly "How are things at the Castle?"

"Well Peter has been going on and on about how he hasn't seen you in so long and I believe he is planning on dropping by later to-" Before Ace even had a chance to finish the door slammed shut and Alice was working her way to the forest.

"I am not going to put up with that perverted stalker." She grumbled.

"Alice!" Peter's voice called out sending a chill down her spine, she saw him running towards her from farther down the path quickly she dashed behind some bushes. Pater reached where she had been before "That's odd I thought I saw my dear, perhaps I'm seeing things since my love is so sincere."

Alice slowly crept backwards watching as Peter continued towards the tower, she felt her back press against a tree. "He didn't see me" She sighed with relief. Then she felt something soft and fuzzy curl down her cheek "Who are you avoiding?"

Alice nearly jumped out of her skin "Boris!" He gazed down at her from his position on the tree limb above her, his tail flicking about in front of her face.

"Me? I'm hurt Alice" He leapt down with cat like grace, his eyes darting to hers.

"Oh no, it was Peter I was avoiding." She waved her hands frantically.

"That's good news then" He grinned "Wanna go play a game?"

"I'm not going with you to kill people at the palace-"

"No no I just wanna go on some rides, you do have a free pass at the amusement park and I'm sure the old man would like to play some more music for you" He laughed at Alice's sour look.

"I suppose we could go, anywhere to be far away from Peter." She sighed, letting Boris wrap an arm around her shoulders and walk her towards the park as he yammered on about the new giant roller coaster.

....................................................

"Welcome!" The faceless park guests greeted cheerfully "We have a new-"

"Yes yes we know." Boris waved them off; Alice watched them skip gleefully (and stylishly) to an extremely large Merry Go-round "Ironic" Alice thought, their antennas bobbing up and down. "Alice this way!" Boris was waving to her from a prize booth a toothy grin on his face, his ears twitched as Alice came running forward with a small smile on her face.

"Let's play!" Boris picked up a water gun, Alice followed after.

"Hello! The rules are simple here at the Balloon race! Just pick up the gun, aim at the target and shoot! The first one to get their balloon to the top wins!" The Booth owner twirled about in her cute heels. "Go!"

Needless to say Boris had perfect aim and Alice was having troubles hitting the target, he won hands down, laughing the whole way. "Congratulations Mr. Boris you win!" She spun around "Pick you prize!"

Boris looked at the goods before him then pointed to a head band that had a pair of antennas on it, he smirked while spinning his chain around in one hand, the worker handed it to him. "For you Alice"

"Oh. Thanks." She stared at the things; Boris shoved them onto her head insisting she wear them, she half wished she'd stayed at the clock tower.

"Onee-san!" Dee and Dum raced toward Boris and Alice from out of the no where.

"Uh Hello" She gasped when they both threw their arms around her.

"Shouldn't you two be guarding a gate right about now?" Boris asked pointedly.

"Since when does Boris want Alice all to himself" They both pouted

"Did someone say Alice was here?" Came the voice of Mary Gowland.

"Uh oh." Was everyone's thought

"Alice I learned a new song for you!" He lifted his violin to his shoulder and with a childish grin he began to produce and awful ear splitting noise.

"We'll save you Alice!" Dee and Dum each grabbed a hand and dragged Alice off, leaving Boris behind gripping his ears in pain.

Meanwhile at the Clock Tower…

"I have come for you Alice! All the way from the Palace!" Peter burst into Julius's office, giant grin and hearts fluttering around him.

"Be quiet I'm trying to work." Julius replied.

"Where is my Alice?" Peter asked spotting Ace he instinctively reached for his watch that turned into a gun "Why are you here?"

"What? Where?" Ace looked around confused "I wonder why too." With a dazed look he left the building muttering about his unknown surroundings.

"Alice has gone out. You should leave as well." Julius hinted.

To be continued…
