Alice opened her eyes blearily and yawned. Hmm today I promised Boris I'd visit the Amusement park. She stretched and turned to glance out the window. AHHHHH!

Grey Ringmarc had just finished explaining the current situation to Nightmare and began to coax his boss out of bed when Alice's scream echoed through the tower. "Well Alice just discovered our predicament," Nightmare sighed. Grey promptly dropped the thick handful of blankets he had just wrestled from the incubus and ran for the door. Yanking it open, he nearly ran face first into Julius, who had also responded to Alice's panicked scream. They stared stonily at each other for a second before Julius nodded at Grey and went back to his clocks. Grey resumed his rush down the hall and paused as he reached Alice's door. A little apprehensive, the usually unruffled ex-assassin slowly raised his hand to knock.

Alice flung the door open and ran hard into Grey's chest. His hand was still raised to knock and he stumbled back a step at the impact. "Sorry!" Alice mumbled and pulled away, her face turning light pink. Grey smiled and patted her head, "it's not like it hurt or anything." Alice smiled a little, but her eyes widened and she glanced back into her room. Taking his hand, she pulled him through the door and pointed a shaking finger at her window. "Grey, what's going on?"
