Thank you to all those people who reviewed 'Snap goes the Hatter', because of your encouragement I have decided to continue the story, but I am posting it as another story because 'Snap goes the Hatter' doesn't seem like a good title for what's to come…

For those of you who have not read 'Snap goes the Hatter', I suggest that you do, or else you might not understand a few points in this story.

Do not own Pandora Hearts

Seeing Double

Alice took a huge bite out of her lunch, a beef pie. Considering that it was nearly twice the size of her head, it was no surprise that she bumped into passer bys as she wandered around Pandora's Headquarters.

Those who saw her coming quickly slipped away. Rumours had spread about her powers, through which she had broken several fingers of a single elusive servant of the Rainsworth family a few weeks ago.

Break's arrival was now usually announced by a loud thumping, then the creative man would kick, elbow or slam open closet doors and then tumble out. His ever-present doll Emily now resembled a miniature mummy sitting on his shoulder, and had remained silent long enough that people were beginning to wonder. Somehow, he didn't come out of tables anymore, no matter how many cakes where heaped on it.

He accompanied Lady Sharon more than ever, refraining from both missions and paperwork. Some suspected that it was because she was the only one who would wordlessly open door for the Hatter, without any awkward questions.

The B-Rabbit smiled to herself, it was almost a month now, and it was wonderful not to have any surprise entries by the clown. Maybe she should do something to that useless Seaweed Head, something with cats…

It was all Seaweed's fault anyway, he had started acting all mushie to her manservant, and Oz was completely ignoring her, so she had decided to go off on her own…until she realized that she was completely lost, but too proud to ask directions.

Then again, that white haired clown wasn't innocent either, telling Sharon that she had 'love problems'. Of course, Sharon insisted helping her, teaching her about romance, all because that clown couldn't keep his mouth shut.

She would teach him another lesson, she would show them all!

As she rounded another corner, she heard Sharon talking to someone. She hid herself, and took another look at her 'big sister'.

Having discovered that she was talking about romance, Alice instead concentrated on revealing who she was talking to, who was currently out of sight. Surprise, surprise, a bit of white hair would sometimes bob into view.

Alice shifted the position of her half eaten pie, so that her hand was poised to throw…

"I can't let you do that, Miss Alice!"

"Eeeeeeeeeek!"

Someone had come up from behind her and snatched the to-be-projectile out of her hand, and the lone mortal who had the guts to do this appeared to be –

"CLOWN? B-but you, there – talking with Sharon? No wa-"

Splat!

Break shoved the pie into the B-Rabbit's face, effectively preventing her from speaking. Calmly leaving the dazed chain covered in meat and pastry, he walked over to Sharon.

"Thankyou for assistance, Milady."

"How are your fingers, Break?"

"They are fine. In fact, I can carry that mop you have been waving about." Break took the white mop out of Sharon's hand, giving one hand for her to inspect. After she indicated that she approved, the two headed toward the dining area, for some tea and cake.

Later that evening, after Sharon had explained – or lectured, according to some –that she helped Break with his 'little lesson' because he was so pitiful, Alice murmured to herself quietly about recruits, and war.

Across the room, a single red eye swivelled around to look at her, and lips that were holding a lollipop stretched into a grin.

So, how was it? And recruits…maybe you have a few people in mind? Don't be shy to review, and leave ideas for both pranks and teams in there!

So far, Break has Sharon on his side…who will Alice go for? Its gonna be WAR!
