The sky overhead is a beautiful blue and the day is a warm, windy one. A woman stands still a moment after stepping off a bus, enjoying the weather and the view around her. Her wild, amber-blonde locks blowing in the breeze and a soft smile graces her lips before she feels the lightest tap on her hip as a male with blonde hair done up in a strange fashion passes her. She was no fool and as she put on her shades, a strange feline-humanoid appeared near the young man and stole back her wallet and phone, though much to her surprise, she saw that a few bucks were still missing. She would have her stand look through the crowd, rushing through to find him before it was stopped by a shorter stand. "I have no time for you, small one, i'm after a thief who took some of my hard-earned money!", she said through her stand as it tried to rush past them. The small stand spoke as it smacked a tile in front of her stand, "Now wait just a moment!", and the tile stuck to her stand's foot-paw. Upon tracking her down, the user of the small stand questioned her, "Who are you and why are you after that boy?!". The woman crossed her arms under her more-developed chest as she looked down at the short, seemingly young man questioning her. "As I said, that kid stole my money and I was going to snag it back from him via my stand. As for who I am-", she pulled a lanyard from under her tight-fitting sweater and showed them her official I.D., "-Someone you'd rather not irritate".

Upon seeing her I.D. and knowing the fact she was thee renowed geologist/humanitarian from America, Alice A. Nightengale, he stammered out, "W-wait! You're THEE Alice Nightengale?!". However, his phone rang suddenly and he went to pick it up, but she snatched the phone and answered it, "Call back later, this man is busy!". What she didn't expect to hear on the other end was a familiar phrase/voice that nearly made her drop the phone, "Yare Yare Daze, still annoying angry as always, eh Alice?". Alice's eyes widened a moment before she spoke again with some curiosity in her voice, "Jotaro Kujo?. . . . .is. . .is that you? Wait, why does this little punk have YOUR number?! And also would it KILL you to call an old friend like me once in a while?!", she snapped at him over the phone. He explained in his own manner before telling her to give back the phone to Koichi. The young man looked a bit nervous as he had his talk with Jotaro. When the call ended, he undid what his stand did and Alice disbanded her stand before she shot him a firey glare as she said, "So, what did JoJo say?". Koichi seemed a bit nervous upon seeing the firey look in her eyes, that with how she had taken a power stance before him in heels, her form-fitting black pants, and her arms crossed under her large chest that was accentuated by her form-fitting sweater. He stammered out, "W-Well, um, h-he said we, uh, gotta find the kid we were both after previously and get some more information out of him. T-Together, of course!". She looked down at him with a firey glare for a moment longer before she snapped as she turned on her heel, "After my meeting". He stammered out in surprise, "W-Wait, we have to-", but she cut him off as she said, not even looking at Koichi as she said, "I've had NO calls in five years from the man I fought alongside with and risked my life for only to find out he is still going on bizarre adventures, fighting stand, and what not WITHOUT ME only to have him half-heartedly agree to involve me in a new one? YEAH, that man is gonna work on MY TIME! Now, as I have an IMPORTANT MEETING to go to, good day, short-stack!". With that, she walked off with a firey look in her eyes. She tried to calm herself before she went to officiate the newest Geology Research Lab. She, along with other fellow colleges of hers, were lined up and as she stood at the podium, she had a warm, sweet smile on her lips. Ignoring the many pictures and video being taken, she cleared her throat before speaking to the crowd, "Hello everyone, and welcome. My name is Alice A. Nightengale and as an renowned Geologist and humanitary, I am humbled to be nominated the title of being the head researcher at this newest Geological Research Lab. The struggle to get to the point where I am today was immense as I came from poverty and had to struggle to work my way up to where I am today. In gaining this achievement of my own, I hope not only to inspire but to help those who come from similar backgrounds as I. Now, I will let my esteemed college and assistant, Juko Takoyori, have a say on this matter". She stepped back and let him begin to talk about the lab, a hint at the research they were to be doing, the opportunities for undergrads, you know, the boring stuff.

Eventually, the celebration/mixer happened and Alice was able to keep up a nice impression for a bit. However, she soon took refuge outside the celebration/mixer with a fruity drink in hand. She sighed, leaning against the railing as she down her drink with ease before looking into the distance with a mourning look in her eyes. It would had been five years to the DAY that their bizarre adventure had started. Her mind began to swim in the memories of it all and she had absentmindedly pulled her necklace out into view and her fingers traced the silver ring hanging on the silver chain as she looked, almost yearningly into the distance. "Upset again, hm?", Juko asked as he had moved to stand next to her seeming without her detection. Alice jumped a bit as she was snapped out of her thought and stammered out, trying to put on a false smile, "Hahaha, w-why whatever do you mean?! This is a wonderful opportunity and I am so very, VERY happy to accept it!~". He looked her over, silent a moment before he too, leaned against the railing and said quite nonchalantly, "Lying gives you wrinkles, you know?". Alice smacked his shoulder lightly as she almost looked offended by that, saying quite adamantly, "That's NOT a lie, Juko! I am happy about this!". Having known her long enough that she has a bit of a temper, he asked, "Well, then what is making you upset?-", he gestured to the silver ring, "-You only fiddle with that when you are upset". Alice squinted at Juko for the longest time before she looked out into the distance. She was silent for the longest time before she said, "I'm. . . . mad a friend didn't call me. I'm upset that this day marks a very important-yet-sad day of my life, and most importantly. . . ", but she trailed off, her thoughts lingering on the last memory she had of the man she loved, "I. . . . I want to see the man who gave me this ring again. . . . . but I'm going to be so busy with all of this here and I only know his name and it's been five years almost and I don't know if he's busy-", but Tako cut her off, "Love is an eternal red string that binds two souls together, no matter time nor distance. If he gave you that ring, he wants to be with you. Besides-", he added in a bit cheekily, "-you are bad with interacting with other colleges for long periods of time. Go, I'll tell them you got sick on the shrimp with your weak, American stomach", earning another hit from her. She smiled though, when she hit him playfully. She said right after, "Heh. Thanks though. . . . I owe you one, ok?", before rushing off. She had reached the center of Paris when she realized she was ultimately lost. Upon being ultimately lost, she asked round in broken French where might she find a man named, "Jean Pierre Polnareff" and upon getting repeative replies of no one knowing, she tried to make her way back to the hotel she was staying in. Many hours and a few turnarounds later, she arrived at the hotel, got to her room, kicked off the heels that were hurting her feet, and laid back on the hotel bed as she fiddled with the silver ring still. She stopped, looking it over as she remember his words fondly before she kissed the ring softly. After doing so, she hid it under her sweater once more, placing it close to her heart before taking a moment to relax.

Once she had relaxed, she went to take a shower and made sure to keep the door cracked out of subconsciously worrying that someone else was in the room and they'd need saving. However, when a stand appeared while she was in the middle of her shower and attacked her head on, she knew she was the only one that needed saving! Before she could summon her stand, this stand had pinned her down in the shower and went to cut her wrists. She kicked up at it, knocking it back before it could harm her and summoned her own stand. Just as Koichi burst into her hotel room, he was immediate witness to Alice's nudity/her stand taking the enemy stand down! His face went bright red and he covered his eyes, turning away with his face red as he said, "S-Sorry for the intrusion! But I saw the stand sneak in under the door and feared for the worst for you!". She chuckled before ducking back into the bathroom to finish up her shower, "Well, fear no more, short-stack, because I do have a capable stand and i'm not afraid to use it!".
