Today, there is a ball in Wonderland. Every creature, every faceless, and every role-holder is invited. All role-holders must attend. Tonight, the event will be held at the Hatter's Mansion, hosted by the mafia leader himself. Alice, who had fallen into this Wonderland two years ago, is by his side. Tonight, my friends, we will be celebrating the marriage of Alice and Blood Dupre.

Indeed, the cruel Blood has been tied down by the force of Alice Liddell and her love. Her beautiful blue eyes, blonde luscious hair, and kind beating heart, captivated all of the clocks that ticked in the Country of Hearts. It was about time the mafia leader succumbed to her.

The rest of the boys looked on, as Alice gazed at Blood as lovingly as they had gazed at her. Whenever Blood caught her gaze, they would participate in a kiss, breaking the onlookers' hearts, or in this case clocks. Oh dear Alice, and you were against breaking their clocks.

After a bit of dancing, and much staring, the role-holders and Alice sat together at a table outside in the garden. There was a tea party set on top of the table.

Blood and Alice sat at the front of the table, with Elliot at Blood's side, and the twins next to him. The rest were frustrated, undecided on whether to join Alice's side but possibly suffer the view of a kiss between the couple. Vivaldi was tired of their indecisiveness and decided to sit next to Alice, thus avoiding the awkward situation that could have happened.

Peter sat next to Vivaldi, and Ace sat next to him. Julius sat next to Ace, as Gowland joined the other side of Julius. Before Boris could seat himself next to the twins, Nightmare took the seat. He was feeling rather dizzy at this point, and grabbed the seat closest to him. Thus, Boris had to sit across from

the newly wed couple. "Oh great." he thought. He still loved Alice, just like everyone else. Everyone shot him a look of pity.

Tea time continued, even with the tense atmosphere that surrounded them. Nobody laughed, in fact, many people haven't since it became clear that Alice belonged to Blood. Only small talk existed, but what more can you expect from people fighting over territory.

Just as the party was about to end, Nightmare shot up from his seat.

"What's wrong Nightmare?" said Dee.

"Got a rat up your jacket?" said Dum right after. The twins snickered.

"No... there's … in Heart Country..." Everyone looked up at him in confusion. Time changed from sundown to sunrise. Nightmare threw away the chair he sat on and started racing towards the direction of the clock tower. The group followed him, without even knowing what was going on. The usually calm, know it all Nightmare wouldn't be running in frustration towards the clock tower.

Alice was falling behind in running after the men. Boris noticed this, and slowed to a halt, getting ready to lift Alice up as soon as she reached him. Unfortunately, Blood had beat him to it. "Tch." he said, continuing with the run.

Soon, the pack arrived at the clock tower, and Nightmare raced up the stairs with the rest following him close behind. Peter spoke up and asked "Nightmare. What is this about?" Before Nightmare was given the chance to answer, he opened the door to the roof of the tower, and their answer laid in front of them.
