I own nothing related this game or series. This is for pure fun and entertainment for those who read it.
"Bye Boris!" Alice called, waving to the Cheshire Cat as she left the Amusement Park.
"See ya, Alice!" The Cat grinned, waving back.
Alice grinned thinking about her day with Boris. It had been fun, although the last ride was the reason her vision was still swimming. Gowland had created a new ride, combining carousel horses with roller coasters. Let's just say it was worse than tea cups and roller coasters...
Alice shook her head, trying to dispel her dizziness. She hurried back to the Clock Tower, sighing in relief as she managed to avoid crossing paths with Peter White. That guy just gave her the creeps! Always following her around and pestering her? Making sure she couldn't have one measly second to herself? That guy made sure Alice was miserable.
Alice stepped into the Clock Tower, closing the door softly behind her. Happy to be back, Alice reached to untie her apron, leaving it hanging on the coat rack. Her eyes landed on an envelop on a nearby table, and curious Alice picked it up.
You Are Cordially Invited to the Annual Ball Hosted by Their Majesty the Queen
It's that time again already? Alice thought surprised. I hope it's better than last year's...She thought ruefully. Last year's party had ended with a violent confrontation with Blood, and Alice really hoped this time would turn out differently. As Alice put the invitation down, she absently wondered if Blood would ask her to go as his date. The lightest of pink blushes colored her cheeks, and Alice smiled thinking about it. She shook her head, dispelling the thought as she realized something.
It's too quiet.
The sounds of tinkering wasn't reaching her ears, and curious Alice headed toward Julius's work space. The Clock Maker's head rested on his work table, his glasses askew and one of his hands clutching a clock he must have been working on.
"Oh Julius," Alice sighed, a gentle smile on her face. The blond shook her head, and then went to get a blanket. "Why can't you ever just take a break? Just a minute to rest your eyes? Oh Julius..." Alice murmured, talking to herself as she placed the blanket around the Clock Maker's shoulders. Carefully, Alice pulled Julius's glasses off his face and set them on the table, and took the clock out of the Clock Maker's hand.
You need to take a break, Julius, you work so hard...
Alice hummed to herself as she headed to her room, pausing for a moment in her doorway as she felt a weight in her pocket. Her fingers curled around a vial, and hesitantly, Alice pulled it out.
It glass was full.
She could go home.
Alice gasped in astonishment, but only one question remained:
Did she want to go home?
