My Dear Sister!

It's a new day for the new Liddell Family who just moved in the Fortress Regency three days ago. Monday, a good day for school. The beautiful wonder woman, Lorina Liddell, is busy preparing everything for her brothers and sisters.

"Lorina! Here are the eggs!" Alice Liddell, her first little sister comes jogging in and puts a dozen of eggs on the kitchen counter. "James is so slow, so here's the newspaper!" she drops the newspaper on the dining table, which is instantly taken by the eldest Liddell, Edward. "I'm late for school!"

"Gosh, Alice, you've been screaming the moment you entered the door," Edward Liddell sighed, his eyes scanning the newspaper and he uses one hand to take a sip of his coffee. "You're a new student—no one will yap at you for being late,"

Alice comes down again and frowns at her eldest brother. "Then will no one yell at the new lawyer who's apparently going to be late in five—four minutes and thirty nine seconds?"

Edward flinches and then stares at his wristwatch. "It's still six, what are you blabbling about, kiddo?"

"Yeah, six o'clock from last evening. I told you your wristwatch is dead, didn't I?"

Edward slams his hands onto the table and stands up, snatches his suitcase and rushes out. "I'm off, Lorie!"

Lorina giggles. "I didn't know that...Well, you should clean up too, Alice. Don't worry. If you're scared of getting scolded, I'll accompany you, honey," she suggests and serves a plate of pancake to the youngest Liddell, Edith.

"Drop it, Lorie," Alice chuckles and runs upstairs again.

"Lorie," Edith speaks up after munching the pancake. "I'm thirteen yesterday. Can I have a boyfriend?"

Lorina freezes during washing a pot, but then turns and smiles at the little girl. "You can, but I can't help you getting one."

Edith smiles back. "Don't worry, that's the piece-of-cake part." She calmly cuts her pancake into six pieces. "If it's Alice, she'll be an old virgin before anything,"

Lorina laughs and returns to her chore. Edith stares at her older sister's back, and rolls her eyes.

'Because Alice has Lorina, that's the whole reason.'

"James—step on it! It's still yellow!" Alice whines.

"Alice, yellow means 'slow down', not 'step on it'." James sighs and stops the car. "And red means 'stop'. Calm down—it's alright getting late."

Alice sighs and decides to drop it. She's glad that James drives for her to school, but on the other hand, James is too proper and careful—the most serious of the five Liddells. And if anything, she hates getting late, since that gives her a 'special introduction' for the class...and that makes her stand out. And she hates standing out.

Finally, they arrive before Lewis High and Alice gets out of the mustang. "Thanks, James," she says and rushes into the school building.

James nods and waits for her to get in. He then sighs. "Do you really have to do this everytime she moves into a new school?" he says, and Lorina Liddell comes out from the backseat with a determined expression.

"I have to protect her, James," she says in a serious tone, her eyes gleam with fear. "Who knows what monsters in the form of male teenagers will try and hurt her? That's why, I'll be there to crush those monsters...ah, if only I can disguise myself to get into the school!"

James glances at his first little sister with a stern look. "You know, I wonder why you only do this for Alice...I mean, you let Edith off the hook easily to get a boyfriend—Alice is sixteen, three years older than Edith. Don't you think it's natural for her to get a boyfriend?"

James shuts his mouth when Lorina glares at him with fear and hatred—he realizes that he just said something 'taboo' for Lorina.

'Alice will never get a boyfriend.' He concludes.

"Class, we have a new student—she came from England and now lives in Fortress Regency with her siblings," the female teacher is a beautiful curly purplette that reminds Alice of Lorina. "I'm Vivaldi Crims, I teach Calculus. Please, introduce yourself,"

"I'm Alice Liddell, nice to meet you," Alice says curtly, unsure of how she looks right now, but some students are staring at her in interest.

Suddenly someone raises hand. "Do you drink tea all the time?"

Both Alice and Vivaldi frowns at the question thrown by a goofy-looking brunette who sits at the back of the class.

"No." Alice deadpans. "Seriously, do you think British people only drink tea? What kind of logic is that?"

The same guy raises his hand again. "Miss Crims, you're British, and you and your younger brother only drinks tea, so does this mean that this girl isn't British?"

"Stop your foolish questions, Pendragon, or I'll hang you outside." Vivaldi says this calmly but with a dangerous tone and a vein popping on her temple. "Liddell, take a seat over there, in the back."

Another one raises hand.

"Are you single?"

"Blood—detention. Just ignore him, Liddell." Vivaldi giggles nervously, when seeing Alice looks horrified at the question. She's even more horrified when seeing Vivaldi snaps her teaching whip into two.

She then realizes where she's sitting—right between that weirdo Pendragon brunette and Blood who just asked if she's single. Alice curls onto her desk and groans.

'Best seat ever!'

And outside the class, a murderous aura is emitted by Lorina who's peeking from the door, she's taking a picture of the guys on both of Alice's sides.

"Those bastards...how dare they! Hmm..." she glares at the picture of two boys. "They're definitely on my blacklist—AND THIS GUY..." she hisses when seeing the picture of the guy who just asked if Alice is single. A flashback runs in Lorina's head as she stares at Alice in worry. She the glares at the Blood guy.

'I can't rest in peace...I won't rest in peace...I won't let them live in peace!'

And this is a story of a woman with her terrifying sister-complex.
