Aika was bored, boredom was something Aika didn't like, so she decided to go to the Amusement Park to see her friend Laula. As Aika walked into the front gates she spotted Laula and Boris straight away – mostly because of Boris' giant pink feather boa. Aika ran up to the pair

"Hey Laula! and Boris! How would you like to come over to the Castle and have tea?" Aika asked excitedly. Laula and Boris looked at each other and shrugged.

"Sure, nothing better to do." Laula replied lazily, Aika jumped up and down like five year old happily

"Okay then lets go!" She said dragging them towards the gates.

Once at the Castle Aika dragged Boris and Laula towards the hedge maze where at the centre was a small circular table set up nicely for tea, which struck Laula as odd since most of the tea parties were huge and elaborate… then again it was Aika who had set it up and she was never one to do anything showy.

"Aika! There you are, I was worried!" Peter shouted from the table, Aika laughed

"Peter, it's been ten minutes what did you think would happen to me in ten minutes? You worry too much." She said while sitting down at the table next to Peter and Laula.

"Hey Aika what type of cake is this?" Laula asked looking at a small cake with pink and white icing on the top.

"That's a strawberry sponge cake, I thought it would be nice." Aika replied simply. Laula and Aika then began talking about a few of the other cakes that were set out, all the while Peter was glaring at Laula, much to the amusement of Boris whom found the conversation about cakes rather boring. After an hour Laula and Boris decided to leave saying if they were gone too long Gowland would start plotting majorly random schemes to humiliate the Hatter.

The pair of lovers walked in silence until Boris' curiosity got the better of him

"Hey Laula, do you have any idea what Peter was doing while you and Aika were talking?" he asked casually.

"No, what was he doing?" she replied

"He was death glaring at you the entire time." Boris said lazily, Laula stopped walking and looked at him

"He was doing what?!" She shouted. Boris looked at her confused

"You mean you had no idea Peter was glaring at you?" He questioned

"No! However if I had noticed I would have screamed at him. That man should be thankful he's even with Aika, she deserves so much better than that idiot." Laula said angrily before continuing walking much faster than normal. Boris stood in the same place slightly stunned, he had never seen Laula get mad about anything, then he quickly ran to catch up to her.

As soon as Laula had returned to the Amusement Park she locked herself in her room and began pacing

"What on earth can I say to make Aika realise she is dating a complete and total psychopath?!" Laula shouted at her pillows, when the pillows didn't answer she began throwing them at the wall

"YOU. ARE. NO. HELP!" she shouted at the same pillows that were now strewn across her bedroom floor.

"Oh I guess I'll just tell her as it is, however it can't be in the Castle… I'll just drag her here." She thought aloud. She picked up her parasol and marched out of her room heading for the castle again.

As she entered the Castle ground the went over to the closest maid

"WHERE IS AIKA?!" she shouted, the maid flinched at the loud command however she answered the question as politely as possible

"I believe Miss Aika is in the garden with Lord White." She replied before running off. Laula automatically felt guilty about snapping at the maid she didn't mean to, however she was still slightly mad at Peter. Laula walked in the direction of the gardens and spotted two white rabbit ears which could only mean one thing, Peter White, and that meant that Aika was probably with him, like she always seemed to be. As she rounded the next corner in the maze she saw Aika and Peter. Aika looked up from what she was doing and looked at Laula confused

"Hey Laula, what are you doing back so quickly?" she asked, Laula didn't respond instead she simply grabbed Aika by the wrist and dragged her in the direction of the Amusement Park, completely ignoring Peter and Aika's protests.

Laula didn't stop dragging Aika until she was safely back in her room, with the door locked securely.

"What in hell did you do that for!?" Aika asked furious, Laula sat down, exhausted from all the shouting.

"I'm sorry, but I needed to talk to you in private – which means without Peter." Laula said simply, Aika crossed her arms

"Well what was so important you dragged me from the Castle to your room?" she said sceptically, Laula sighed

"I know this is going to hard for you to hear but I thought it would be better if I talked to you instead of someone who doesn't know you all that well…" She started Aika yawned

"Will you get to the point in this century or the next one?" she questioned, Laula glared at her

"I was going to tell you that Peter is too overprotective and recently it's gotten much worse, maybe you should consider living apart for a little bit, you know take a break." Laula suggested, Aika glared at her friend her eyes molten gold

"How dare you try to tell me how to live my life! Yes Peter is overprotective, but did you ever stop to think that I might like it that way!?" She yelled before unlocking the door and storming off. Boris out in the Park watched as Aika stormed right passed him, without so much as a passing glance. So being naturally curious he went to the last place he has seen Aika – Laula's room.

Boris walked through the corridor and stopped in front of Laula's slightly ajar door. Inside the room he could hear quiet sobbing

"Why did I confront her like this, you should have told me this would happen, you should have stopped me." Laula said to her pillows, once again the pillows didn't answer

"Stop giving me the silent treatment, I know I was wrong but you don't need to rub my face in it." She said in-between sniffles. Boris smiled at Laula's childish behaviour

"Don't be sad Laula, you did what you thought was right you shouldn't feel bad for that." Boris said quietly. Laula looked at her pillows shocked

"You know you pillows sound just like Boris, how odd." She said smiling, she then turned to the door.

"You know Boris you can come in." Laula said shyly. Boris slowly walked into the room.

"So what happened between you and Aika, I've never seen her eyes turn a darker gold than mine." He asked slowly. Laula looked at the floor

"I told her that she should take a break from seeing Peter, he's too clingy and I don't think they should be together, because Aika's too good for him." She said quietly. Boris looked at her concerned

"I agree with you that Peter and Aika shouldn't be together, however it's Aika's choice so we shouldn't meddle in her affairs. Just promise me you won't do anything you regret, like break the two of them up." He said kindly, Laula looked up at Boris and smiled

"Okay I promise, now if you wouldn't mind leaving, I really need some sleep it's been a long day." She replied, Boris kissed Laula's forehead and walked out of her room

"Sweet dreams." He said before closing the door. Laula smiled

"Time for me to plan a break-up." She whispered

Laula looked around the room she had set up for Aika, from 'Peter', the room was covered in pink frilly lace, she had pink dresses in the closet, the room had been completely trashed and everything had slight droplets of bright pink paint. Laula smiled to herself.

"This should do and if this doesn't break the two of them up, nothing will." She said to herself walking out of the room. Just as she was about to leave the Castle she put a sticky-note on Aika's door that read 'I thought I'd surprise you by redecorating you room – Peter'. Laula then quickly ran out of the Castle, not wanting to be spotted. When she arrived back at the Amusement Park, Boris was waiting for her at the gate

"Why are you dresses like a ninja?" he asked amused, Laula looked around franticly for something to be used as a distraction, when she found nothing she looked to her left and pointed in that general direction

"LOOK A DISTRACTION!" she screamed. Boris looked over to where she pointed, then Laula ran into the Park, not looking back.

Aika walked into the Castle's main building and went straight to her room, she had one really hectic day. First off she was summoned to see Vivaldi and was told to go to the Tower of Clover in her place, because she simply didn't want to go, and once there she had to listen to Nightmare's constant complaining to Gray on how much he didn't want to do any work. So all she wanted to do was sleep. When she reached her room she noticed the small sticky-note on her door, after Aika had read it she smiled, it was always nice seeing what surprises Peter had for her, however when she opened her door, she was surprised but not in a good way. Her eyes rapidly changed to gold and purple lightning danced around her small frame. Aika stormed into Peter's room and as soon as she saw him slapped him hard in the face.

"How dare you! I thought you knew me better. I guess people were right we do need to spend some time apart. I'm leaving this castle right now and unless you apologise I'll never speak to you again!" She shouted before running out of the castle. Peter stood in his room bewildered he had no idea what had just happened but he had to find out.

Aika kept running until she ended up at the Hatter Mansion.

"Elder sister! Elder sister! Did you come to play?" The twins said excitedly, Aika looked down at the two boys, clearly if they were talking to her, she had calmed down.

"Sorry boys another time, I have to talk to Elliot. Is he here?" Aika said smiling softly at the boys, the twins pouted

"Yeah, the Newbie Hare's here. He's in his room." The twins said sadly opening the gates for Aika to enter. She roamed the corridors of the mansion until she found Elliot's room. She knocked three time on his door in quick succession, the door opened to show a rather confused Elliot

"Aika? What are you doing at the Mansion, I thought you'd never come here again after the tea party fiasco." He said, Aika looked at the ground

"I was wondering if you could ask Blood if I could stay here for a little while… I really don't want to stay at the Castle right now." She asked shyly, Elliot smiled

"I'm sure we can persuade Blood to let you stay here, since your clearly upset over something." He replied kindly, Aika looked up and smiled

"Thanks Elliot!" she said happily, before the two of them walked to Blood's room.

Elliot walked into Blood's room with Aika following closely behind him. Blood looked up from his desk

"Elliot? What is it you want?" he asked bored, Elliot shifted uncomfortably

"Would it be alright if Aika stayed here for a little while?" he asked quickly, Blood switched his gaze for Elliot to Aika, who was still behind Elliot.

"Absolutely not." He replied bluntly, Elliot looked shocked

"Please Blood, something in the Castle has made her come here, you know she'd only come here if she was in dire need of assistance." Elliot reasoned, Blood continued to stare at Aika

"No, I won't allow her in My Mansion." He said plainly, this time Aika spoke up in her defence

"Please Blood, this is my only option, and if I did stay here I wouldn't do nothing, I'd help out in anyway I can. Please this is the closest to begging I can get." Blood looked at Aika and Elliot, clearly realising they wouldn't stop asking he sighed

"Fine, I guess you can stay. However whatever I tell you to do you have to do it." He said clearly beaten, Aika smiled

"Thank you Blood." She replied

Laula was walking around the park aimlessly, she was incredibly bored after she had created the perfect break-up scenario, she had nothing to do with her time. Boris walked up behind her.

"So are you going to tell me why you were dressed like a ninja before?" he asked smirking, Laula turned to him and grabbed his wrist

"I can't tell you here." She said before taking Boris to the Ferris Wheel

"So can you tell me now?" he asked, Laula sighed "I was dressed like a ninja because I snuck into the Heart Castle and caused Peter and Aika to break-up." She said sheepishly Boris looked shocked

"You broke up Peter and Aika!?" he said still shocked, Laula nodded

"I can't believe you did that." He said dazed

"Please don't tell Aika I did this she'd hate me forever." Laula begged

"Fine I won't tell her as long as you never do anything like this again, agreed?"

"Alright I promise I'll never do anything like this again."
