In The streets of Twilight Town Alice was running to her friends secret hide-out.
She entered the hide-out to find the three extremely bored.

"So what is our plans for today?" She asked

"Well we can't decide if we want to go to the beach or the carnival tomorrow" Hayner said

"Well how about we discuss this after the Struggle Tournament" Alice said

"But we'd like to be ready to go to one or the other" Pence said

"OK then lets vote right now" Olette said

"Beach!" Hanyer and Pence said

"Carnival!" The girls said

"It's a tie...man this is gonna be hard" Hanyer complained

"Hey I got it!"Alice said

The three looked at Alice

"Well me and Hayner are in the Struggle Tournament right...So about this.
If I win we go to the carnival if I lose then we got to the beach" she explained

"Sounds good" Pence said

"Find but don't expect me to go easy on you just because your a girl" Hanyer said with pride

"Your so going down" Alice said

Sparks flew between the two

"Lets go the Tournament is gonna start soon" Olette said

The four friends went to the tournament everyone was excited and cheered as some of the Struggle Contestants arrived. Both Hayner and Alice rushed to the group they both then went around the corner for briefing

"The Rules are simple you just have to collect the most orbs for you to win got it!" The Referee said

They all nodded

"Alright then lets go and Struggle!" the referee said

Everyone was paired up with someone and the first match was Seifer Vs Vivi

"So who do you think will win?" Olette asked

"Well I heard Vivi has been training a lot so I hope he wins instead of Seifer" Hanyer said

"Go Vivi!"Alice shouted

The two fought furiously Vivi attacked a few times and Seifer blocked most of his attacks it was a close match but Seifer ended up winning

"Ah man the little guy lost" Pence said with disappointment

Vivi walked off with a sad look on his face he went over to the benches and sat by himself

"Where are Seifer's lackeys?" Alice asked

"They went out of town" Hayner said

"Seifer is the winner" The referee announced

The everyone but the four clapped for him he walked down from the arena and went over to the benches

"The Next match is Chris and Jamie" the referee said

The next match we kind of quick because the two fighters were not the greatest so it ended with Chris as the winner

"Winner Chris!" The referee said

everyone clapped for him

As Chris walked off the stage he looked over at Alice with a strange look she looked over and felt unconformable and moved away Chris then walked away

The next match is with Hayner and Seifer

"Alright I' m gonna kick some butt" Hanyer said

"Ah shoot I didn't bring my Camera...I'll be back as soon as I can" Alice said

She jumped up from the bench and ran full speed to her house she eventually got to her house and ran up her room she tore her room apart looking for the camera and when she finally found it she noticed something at the corner of her eye. It was a figure somehow standing on air or floating with a dark red cloak with a large black X across the chest Alice stared at the figure and when she opened the window to get a better look the figure disappeared

"What was that?" she wondered

She stared out the window for awhile trying to figure out what just happened

"Oh crap! The Tournament!" she shouted

She ran down the steps and ran as fast as she could back to the tournament to catch the fight.
When she got their Hanyer was ready to strike Seifer so Alice prepare for the strike.
But then Seifer dodged it and attacked him from the side

"Winner Seifer!" The referee shouted

The townsfolk clapped

Alice frowned at the lose she had already took the picture she then approached her friends and then Hayner

"You did your best Hayner" Olette said

"Yeah.." he said with shame

"Don't worry bud you'll get him next year" Pence said

"Yeah you'll just have to try harder"Alice said

"Hey losers!" Seifer called

"I'm taking you down!" He said

He walked away the four glared at him

"Can't I bash him in the head with a pipe" Alice said

"No Alice..." Olette said

"No one has to know...I'll make him disappear" Alice grinned evilly

"No but you can do one thing for me" Hanyer said

"What?" Alice asked

"Destroy him!"Hanyer said with flames in his eyes

"Will do!" she said

The Next Fight is between Alice and Chris

Alice approached the stage and waited for the other kid

"Um...where is Chris?" the referee said

Everyone looked around and he was no where to be seen someone whispered to the referee
"It seems that Chris is ill and cannot continue so it looks like Alice wins by default" the Referee said

"Aw man!" Hanyer said

"I wonder if he will be OK?"Olette said

"How cares this means that Alice is going to fight Seifer!" Hanyer said

"Hayner! That's so mean!" Olette said

"sorry.." he mumbled

" OK the final fight between Seifer and Alice will now commence" the referee announced

He walked up onto the arena

"Hey Alice...how about a date if I win" Seifer asked her

"Ew! Dating you is like catching Cancer" Alice said in disgust

"Begin!" The referee shouted

Alice charged in and swung down her Struggle Sword and he blocked it he swung at her three time she was hit twice and dodged the last one to regain the fallen orbs
she put force on her legs and pushed off to knock down Seifer some of his orbs fell and she was able to pick them up he came from behind and hit her on the back of the head she tripped and fell on the ground she lost more orbs so far she was losing.
Alice got back up and tried a few random hits he got hit a few times and she picked up the orbs that fell.
Seifer charged at her and he to hit her but she ducked and sweeped his legs he fell over and lost a lot of orbs. He tried to hit her while jumping back up but she barely moved out the way. She then hit him on the head with a lot of force and he fell backwards.

"Time!" The Referee shouted

They stopped Alice was a little tired and she somehow tripped on her own feet and fell of the arena everyone started laughing and Alice just blushed in embarrassment she got up and went over to the Referee he counted the orbs that they both had

"The Winner is Alice! By one orb!" He announced

Everyone cheered for her as she jumped in the air happy that she won Hanyer,Pence and Olette ran to her

"You did it!"Olette shouted

Alice was handed a trophy she raised in the air and the people cheered

"We should celebrate!" Pence

"Off to the Ice Cream Parlor!" She shouted

The four headed down the Ice Cream Parlor and got four Sea Salt Ice Cream then they headed up to the train station's clock tower and went up to eat their Ice Cream and look at the view

"So The Carnival Tomorrow" Hanyer said

"Yep" The girls said

"What's gonna be there?" Pence asked

"Games,Food,and some rides" Olette said

Alice took a bite of her Ice Cream and saw something beside her she turned to see a boy with spiky blond hair with a white jacket,black zipper shirt and tan pants.

"Um hi?" she said

The boy didn't speak

"Um are you new?" she asked

He still said nothing

"Who are you talking to Alice?" Olette asked

"You don't see him there is this kid that is here" she told her

"Um what guy?" Hanyer asked

"Right here-" she started

She turned to see the boy was gone

"Huh? I could of sworn I saw someone there?" she said

"It must have been a bird" Hanyer said

"A bird that looks human Hanyer. That sounds stupid" Alice said

"Well it's getting late we shout head back" Olette said

"Yep and get ready for tomorrow boys" Alice said

"Can't wait!" Hanyer said

The four got up and got down from the tower Alice then stopped to look up and saw the boy from before only he wore a black cloak and had someone else there a man with spiky red hair wearing the same cloak.
She decided to leave it be and went back home
