Chapter I: The Night Terrors start

All the students of the Peristylium were overjoyed.

If you're going to ask 'why', it's because it's a three-day weekend. School stops at Friday because it's a holiday (1). Everyone was overjoyed, of course, especially Class Zero. They get to spend more time with their loved ones. Everyone was celebrating, especially Nine. He was making so much noise, that Queen had to hit him in the head with a book. Class was over so everyone piled out of the room. Deuce was the last one to leave the room because she had to fix her stuff. As she was walking down the hall, someone covered her eyes and mouth and dragged her to a deserted hallway. However, Deuce only knew one person who would pull this kind of stunt so she played along. When the person took his hands off, she turned around and pressed her lips to the said person's lips. When she opened her eyes and pulled away, she saw Ace smiling down at her.

"Hi." He said.

"Hi."

"How you doing?" He asked.

"Great. How about you?" She asked.

"Great. Are you spending the night at my room?" He asked. Ace got his own room after the headmaster granted his request.

"Yeah, and maybe tomorrow and Saturday too." She said.

"Just 'maybe'? Come on, spend tomorrow night and Saturday night at my room as well." He said.

"Ok, fine. How could I say no to you, anyways?"

"YES!" He yelled then he kissed Deuce on the lips which she eagerly returned. Then, they parted and Ace took Deuce's hand and they walked back to the dorms.

When they got to the dorms, they noticed that only Queen and Rem were there, talking, and they didn't appear to have noticed them. Ace faced her and asked:

"Are you going to be alright?"

"Yeah, I'll just head to the library in a while and look for something to read before doing my homework."

"Why don't I walk you there?"

"No, we both know you want to do you homework now, so go and do it." She said.

"Are you sure? I mean, you could get hurt on the way there or some guys from another Class could insult you." He said.

"I'll be fine, Ace. And if some guys from another Class insult me I can always run to you." She said.

"Ok, promise me you'll take care of yourself, alright (2)." He said.

"I promise." She said. Then, she leaned up and kissed him in the lips. When they pulled away from each other, Ace went up to his room. Deuce approached Queen and Rem who were still talking. She leaned on the couch and playfully asked them:

"So, what are we talking about?"

Rem and Queen noticed her and they had surprise written all over their faces.

"When did you get here?" Rem asked.

"Me and Ace were standing there 5 minutes ago talking." She said.

"Sorry, Rem just asked me if I noticed if Machina's acting weird." Queen explained.

"I noticed. It's almost as if he hasn't been getting any sleep at all." Deuce said.

"It's probably nothing. I'm sure he just has his mind on many things." Queen said.

"Well, I got to run. I'm going to go to the library to kill some time." Deuce said.

"Wait, I'll go with you. I got to study." Queen said and they walked out of the dorms.

When they got to the library, it was nearly deserted.

"Look, I'm going to study, alright. Tell me when you're going back or Ace is going to kill me." Queen said.

"Sure." Deuce replied and she walked straight ahead, while Queen took a left.

When she got to a shelf, she took a look at a few books, when she suddenly felt some people's eyes at her. She looked to her right and she saw three boys eyeing her, though, she knew those. They were the ones from Class Eight who insulted her a few months back (3). Shaking her head, she paid attention to her book once more. But she was distracted again when she felt that someone was approaching her. She looked and she saw that the boys were indeed approaching her. But still, she paid them no attention.

"Hey, Deuce, what's up?" asked one of them

"Nothing, Rick. Now what do you want?" She asked.

"Nothing much." The boy named Rick replied.

"Good." Then, she pushed her way out and walked to where Queen was. However, as she was walking, she felt that those three boys were following her. So, she sped up her pace and finally arrived where Queen was studying.

"Queen, I'm going." Deuce said.

"Okay, bye." Queen said. Then, Deuce kept walking out to the library. She looked behind her and saw that Rick and his lackeys were still following her. Then, all of a sudden, Rick caught up to her and pinned her against the wall.

"Come on, Deuce, don't be like that. I just want to get to know you. How about dinner tomorrow night?" Rick offered.

"Sorry, but I have a boyfriend and I'm spending time with him tomorrow night." Deuce replied.

"Sorry, sweet cheeks, but I'm not taking no for an answer." He said.

"No is No, Rick." Deuce said then she tried to walk away again. However, Rick got really mad and shoved her way to hard back to the wall and she hit her head on the wall. Luckily, someone tapped Rick's shoulder and he turned around and saw Ace.

"Hey, do you mind telling me what are you doing to my girlfriend?" He asked.

Deuce saw him and she ran up to him and hugged him.

"She's your girlfriend?" Rick asked.

"Yeah, you got a problem with that?" Ace asked deadly.

"Nothing." Rick said then he and his lackeys walked away.

Ace sighed in exasperation and he asked:

"Are you okay?"

"Not really. I think I hit my head really hard." Deuce said.

"That's it. I'm going to kill him." Ace declared. As he walked away, Deuce wrapped her arms around his waist.

"Thanks for saving me back there, but don't go after them." She said.

"Okay. How can I say no to you anyways?" Ace said. Then, he turned around and he kissed her on the lips.

"You know, you kinda scared me with your attitude back there." Deuce said.

"I'm sorry." He said.

"It's alright."

Ace grabbed her hand and they walked back to the dorms. Deuce did her homework while Ace was reading a book. At 7:00 pm, they ate dinner. By, 12:30 everyone was sleeping except for Ace and Deuce. Deuce was already in Ace's room with a couple of stuff (AN:And by stuff, I mean clothes. Just clarifying that.). They were talking about their plans after their studies. After that, they just lay there. Ace suddenly took Deuce's left hand and looked at the ring he gave her.

"Ace, what is it?" She asked.

"Nothing, just happy that you agreed to marry me."

"Of course, I would." She said. Then she yawned afterwards.

"Tired?" He asked.

"Yeah."

"Come on, let's go to bed." He said.

"Okay." She said.

Then, they turned off the lights and Ace wrapped his arms around Deuce's waist and he kissed her neck, making her laugh. Deuce turned to face him and kissed him in the lips, which he returned and which eventually turned out to be a make-out session (4). Deuce pulled away and said:

"Good Night."

"Good Night." He replied then he wrapped his arms around her again and they fell asleep.

*Start Night Terror sequence*

Ace was walking around a foggy woods, which oddly looked like the woods he and Deuce would pass before they got to their meadow. When he got to the end, the fog disappeared and he saw that he was standing at the meadow. He saw Deuce at their usual spot by the tree. She was wearing a white dress (AN:No, not a wedding dress, just a plain white dress.) and she had a sad look in her eyes. As he approached her, a masked man suddenly grabbed Deuce and held a knife at her throat.

"ACE, HELP ME!" She yelled then they disappeared.

*End Night Terror sequence*

Ace suddenly bolted upright, his shirt was drenched in sweat, and he managed to stop himself from screaming, so that he won't wake Deuce. He checked his bedside clock and he saw that it was 4:00 AM. He looked to his left and saw that Deuce was waking up.

"Ace, why are you awake?" She asked.

"It's nothing, it was just a bad dream. Don't worry." He said.

"You want to talk about it?" She asked.

"No, it's okay, let's just go back to sleep." Ace said, and lay back down. He was trying so hard to keep the fear from his voice but Deuce could tell that he was really shaken up by that dream. Deuce said nothing and simply laid her head back on his chest and she fell asleep once again. Ace wrapped his arms around her, but he can't go back to sleep. He was still wondering what that dream meant. Regardless, he's not going to let anything bad happen to Deuce. If that happened, he'll never forgive himself.
