*~ Hey Alice ~*

"ALIIICE!"

Alice groaned knowing the voice instantly. She didn't need to turn to look at him to know how he was standing, slightly tilted with his hands clasped near his face and his ears sticking up happily with bright eyes and a wide smile.

She started walking away quickly, "Go away."

Peter followed her, "Oh, but Alice, my love, I've being looking all over for you. Where have you been?"

"Hiding from you," she grumbled, highly irritated by his ever present persistence.

Peter chuckled, "You are ever so funny, Alice. I love you."

"Ugh!" Alice stopped to turned to face him. She shouted at him angrily, "I do wish you wouldn't speak those words so lightly! Its so ridiculous and annoying!"

"But its not spoken lightly," Peter replied looking innocent with his ears slightly drooped from her anger being directed at him. He dipped his head and looked up at her threw his lashes with a sweet little smile, "I really do love you."

Alice's cheeks flared but before he could notice she whirled away from him and continued on her way to the road. Again Peter followed. He suddenly sounded upset, "Alice are you leaving? So if I hadn't run in to you, you wouldn't have come to see me before you left the castle?"

Alice sighed deeply and grumbled again under her breath, "That was the plan."

His large ears still picked up on what she had said and he threw his arms in the air. "Oh, what a cruel woman you are! What do you hurt me so?"

Alice shrugged and glanced at him over her shoulder, "I aim to avoid you and have as little contact with you as possible rather than purposefully hurt you."

Peter looked distraught, "Thats kind of the same thing."

"Anyway, I have to get back to the Clock Tower before Julius starts worrying about me," Alice pointed out as they walked out of the gates to the castle of Heart.

Then Peter caught her wrist gently and Alice gasped. She would have pulled out of his grip if she hadn't seen his sad expression, "Why don't you stay here? At the castle?"

"Perter, I..." he continued without letting her finish.

"I'm not the only one who wants you to stay here. Her majesty would like it too and the faceless here seem to be more...lively, it seems, when you're around. So I imagine they like you too," he shrugged, he didn't really care much for them Alice knew.

Alice rolled her eyes, "Thats because I don't treat them as if they're dirt or unimportant."

"They are unimportant," Peter said. Alice threw him an unimpressed face and his ears drooped completely then, "I apologise."

Alice sighed and looked down the road and then to the top of the Clock Tower in the distance, "I can't just leave him. I've been helping him with his work recently as well. With what I can do anyway...no, I live at the Clock Tower, Peter. I can't live here."

The prime minister's grip other wrist loosened until it was so weak that her arm slipped from his finger tips. He was quiet for a while and just when Alice thought he wouldn't say anything he perked up a little asked, "May I at least walk you home?"

The outsider was a little surprised that he had asked permission instead of following her the whole way there. So she replied a little uncertainly, "Um, sure. Okay."

Peter gasped and squealed in happiness. They began walking again, "Can we hold hands as well?"

"Don't push it!"

I'm adding to this because I hate tiny chapters/stories. But this is probably the best thing i've written in a while - I've had terrible writer's block recently and its quite frustrating!

Anyway, a review would help for me to improve so DON't BE SHY! TELL ME YOU HATE IT IF YOU DO! I WILL APPRECIATE THE HONESTY ;D Really, I'm not lying - it really helps if someone tells me exactly what they like/don't like and why ;)

REMEMBER TO READ & REVIEW!
