Author's note: Hello everybody! This is dreamer *waves* well I hope you like my new story. I had this sudden urge to make this particular story when I was busy daydreaming (got that?) about Peter's and Sidney's bun bun form. (and Elliot's too if you count in Wonderful Twin World...)

Ahh~ sweet little bundles of jo- *cough* Please ignore the other thing I said... well I should start on the story by now and here's a little warning; this is an AU and the characters may be a tad bit OoC...

No one's p.o.v

Ah, summer the time for students to rejoin their families, spend quality time together, enjoy, relax, do activities and have fun as a whole happy family but sadly our poor little heroine is experiencing the exact opposite of what was mentioned earlier.

She's stuck at her university trying to sort out some sort of problem with her clearance, currently waiting not so patiently for her teacher to show up so she can finish everything and be done with it.

The family part was another topic to be discussed.

Alice gave off a despondent sigh as she stared at her reflection on the shiny vase. Lovely teal eyes and long light brown hair are one of her most noticed physical traits.

Alice is to be considered one of the cutest students at Rosewood State University but she never payed attention to gossip.

"Don't look so glum, dear." The secretary, a pretty and petite young woman chimed in. She looked at the smartest student in school, sitting at the chair with an I'm-sick-of-waiting look plastered on her face.

Alice perked up her teal eyes widening, she felt instantly guilty for making the secretary worried. She was her friend after all.

"It's okay Miss Maria, just getting bored that's all." Alice replied flashing a reassuring smile at Maria.

Maria nodded then thought up about something.

"Why don't you go out for some fresh air?" She asked "It will occupy your mind as you look at the scenery. They say time flies faster if you're occupied." Maria said as she gestured towards the door.

Alice wanted to say no but then thought about it what harm can it do in just staying outside? She smiled and said.

"Okay I will."

Rosewood true to its name boast one of the most magnificent rose gardens in the entire city. They are a vast array of colours to be seen but this time red roses are the ones that are most seen. It's a tradition for the university's chancellor to choose what rose color should dominate and it's quite obvious she loves the color red.

Also she is Alice's good friend as well but that's a well kept secret that very few people know about.

"Whoa..." Alice admired the scenery even though she saw it a lot of times.

She started to walk.

As Alice for being an introvert her mind is always thinking no matter what's happening around her.

'Well this year's summer is going to be a lonely one... I wonder in what should I do for the entire time, there is no way Mom will let me take a summer job and since Lorina is living at another country with her husband staying with her would be too costly.' Alice's expression wasn't a happy one.

'How come... everything fell apart in an instant?' Alice walked deeper towards the garden.

'Why it is always business and money in my parent's minds not to mention they managed to brainwash Edith, she's not the sweet little sister I used to know...' She kicked a stone on the path.

'Even though I did my best to make them proud... It feels like it's not enough for them.' She started to walk faster.

'Is it because I'm not a social deviant like Edith or an angel like Lorina right? They never praised me like both of them... I was never their favourite in the first place anyways!' Alice almost started to run.

'Maybe just maybe-'

"ALICEEEEE!"

A shout interrupted Alice's depressing train of thoughts as she looked back to see Maria calling out for her.

"SIR MARK IS AL-READY HERE!"

"COMING!" Alice screamed back.

Finally after everything by I mean everything, Alice never felt so happy when work was done and she started heading for home.

"Be careful on your way home Alice and I mean it." Maria warned as she watched Alice going out of the gate.

"I'll be okay and take care too, Maria!" Alice replied. She smiled and wave to her friend as she started to disappear from the view.

Alice now lives alone in a 2 storey house that mind you still looks expensive despite it not being a mansion. She used to share this with her family when they were visiting in province; she originally lived in a grand mansion most of the time with her family at the capital but things changed.

She used to drive herself even though she's 16 years old and today she decided to walk back home since calling for a taxi seemed pointless now since she wanted to take a walk. Alice never really surveyed the area around her home, living in the not so far country side means you're mostly surrounded with nature.

'How peaceful...' Alice thought till a bush near her started to shake.

*Rustle* *Rustle*

Alice's p.o.v.

'Ahhhh!' I mentally shriek, startled by the unsuspecting noise. I knew there might be dangerous creatures lurking in the thick forest but I never really thought there might be a chance for one to attack me.

I quickly picked up a stick from nearby. Readying a stance just in case someone or something would attack me. And I know a stick, really just a stick is not the best weapon but hey at least that's better that nothing.

I crept slowly closer towards the bush, stick in hand then a...

White rabbit popped out.

In an instant my mind was confused...

'Aren't rabbits pray animals and preferred to stay away from larger animals and humans but how come this one popped out. With its sharp hearing it could have hear me from a yard or more away and hopped to safety.' I looked closely at the rabbit trying to see if anything is wrong.

Then I finally see what's wrong... the poor little thing was injured.

I gasp and tried to without startling it approach the poor rabbit.

The little guy must have been in a really bad shape since it didn't notice me at all when I scooped in gently in my arms...

'Hey keep still or else I might drop you!' I mentally scream at the rabbit.

The rabbit still struggled and thrashed but after a minute or so exhaustion took over and he stopped moving.

Not minding the blood now staining my blue dress and if this one had enough energy to bite me, I might get rabies but I didn't care at all. I quickly ran as fast as I could towards my house hoping to save the rabbit just in time.

Normally when my family is home now and with me bursting in with a bloody rabbit in my arms my father would have reprimanded me for picking up dirty animals from the street, mother shaking her head saying that's something proper ladies shouldn't do and Edith looking at me with disgust. The only one who would care is Lorina and helped me with saving the rabbit and both of us getting ready for a scolding later on in dad's office.

But I'm somewhat thankful and sad the house is empty right now.

After doing my best patching up the white rabbit, I discovered one of its hind legs is broken and not to mention this one is a really feisty rabbit. It nearly bit me when I tried to clean the wound but thankfully he (I just recently found out) calmed down and managed to get his trust for me to feed him not to touch him of course (unless I want to lose all of my fingers) but enough for him to be okay with my presence in the room with him.

Anyways things calmed down after this...

'He looks so cute when he's sleeping~' I mentally cooed as the little rabbit slept on top of the make shift bed I made for him. I wouldn't be worrying about him escaping for a couple of reasons.

Reason no. 1: He can't move.

Reason no.2: It's my bedroom where he is staying at so the floor is heavily carpeted.

Reason no.3: The door is always locked.

And as for taking care of animals I wouldn't worry much since my aunt is a vet so I know some things in how to take care of a rabbit.

I noticed it was still bright outside and decided once again to take a walk in our gardens, hoping to see that if there is anything there planted that is edible for a rabbit. A sad smile came to my face as I thought of something.

'It's so quiet here... too quiet... too empty...'

No one's p.o.v.

After Alice left the room the white rabbit stirred in its sleep but then woke up. The rabbit looked shock as he took in his new surroundings. And as if he remembered what happened, he calmed down. The rabbit looked confused when he saw Alice wasn't in the room.

Thinking it may be his chance to escape he tried moving only to stop when he felt a sharp pain from his leg. The rabbit was greeted by a sight of one of his hind legs which wasn't bleeding and hurting less right now but instead wrapped in soft bandages.

The rabbit stopped moving and stayed still for a while then decided to sleep again.

Meanwhile Alice was in the garden still looking for plants that seem suitable for the rabbit.

*Growl*

'What the...' Alice silently mouthed as she heard a growl coming from the forest beyond her garden walls. Gulping this time she took a shovel with her.

"Calm down just inspect the area and see if you should call for the animal control." Alice quietly said as she opened the small gate of her wall garden and slowly went back to the wilderness.

Crouching down and slowly peeped through the foliage of a low lying tree.

*Gasp* Alice was greeted with a sight, something that she doesn't want to see.

It was a black rabbit this time exhausted and weak and there was a fox cornering it. With the fox's predatory eyes dead lock on the poor black rabbit it also looked like the rabbit was about to collapse.

The fox was ready to move.

'NO!' Alice mentally screamed as the fox nearly lunge at the black rabbit.

In a split second decision Alice sprinted and smacked the fox hard enough that it sent it flying back towards a nearby tree.

Nature could be cruel and heartless but there was no way Alice would simply do nothing as the rabbit was nearly shred to pieces.

The fox whimpered in pain and quickly ran away, with its tail between his legs some people would say. Alice simply stood there breathing heavily then quickly went to see that the black rabbit already collapse.

'That was close...'Alice mentally said as she brought the second new bunny to her house.

Well that's all it! Oh and a funfact about this chapter the first thing that happened the entry and school scenario was loosely based off my diary (yes I keep a diary) and decided to write it down thinking it was a good idea to start the I want to say thanks for reading this story of mine and please kindly review if you have time.
