Five favorites and I literally posted this story last night. XD I love you guys. Read and review!

I grumbled to myself as Pierce held my hand, the mouse lacing our fingers together. Th-This is so embarrassing... One month and I'm still completely awkward. I'm more nervous than ever around him now.

Pierce spoke, walking closer to me despite my attempt to distance ourselves, "We could have taken one of my doors, chuu. Much faster and safe that way, chuu."

"Y-Yeah, well, I-I wanted to go this way, so we're going this way." I wasn't going to admit that I forgot about the mouse doors-one of which was conveniently placed inside my room, which he uses to sneak in to my room when I'm freaking sleeping. Thus of which when I generally wake up I freak out when I find Pierce next to me sleeping with his arms wrapped around me, his tail wrapped around my waist.

"Mmm...okay! Amusement Park, yay~! There are so many fun rides there, chuu! I think you'll like it!" His warm hand tightened around mine and I scrunched my nose, trying to calm my beating heart and get rid of my blush. "Hehe, you're so cute!" I went still as his lips brushed my cheek, my face heating up times ten. I was left stammering as he giggled at me, and I scowled as I walked faster and made him trail behind me.

D-Damn it, it's too cold for this crap! How much longer until the snow ends? I grumbled to myself as I pulled Pierce along with me, and looked on in happiness as the snow suddenly started to melt and make way to a clear grounds. Pierce's grip on my hand tightened considerably and he muttered, his voice deepening,

"Don't talk to Joker too long. I don't want him taking you from me."

H-Hah? T-Take me from him? I stopped walking, ignoring the urge to step closer to him (It was cold, and I could practically feel the heat radiating from his body. You'd probably do the same) and asked in confusion, "What are-What are you talking about, Pierce? He's not..." Okay, this is going to be slightly embarrassing. I inhaled deeply and said, forcing myself to look him in the eyes, "He's not going to take me from you. I said it before-well, you-you actually said it, but, uh," I swallowed, blinking and awkwardly diverting my gaze, "I'm...I'm your "treasure" which-which means that I-I can't be taken...from...you?" My voice squeaked as I looked up at him nervously.

He stared down at me for a few moments, before a small smile spread across his face. I tensed when he leaned down and pressed his lips against mine, mumbling as one of his hands cupped my cheek, "Mm...You're mine...but he'll try and steal you from me. I won't let him do that. I won't let anyone do that." He kissed me again and my face flushed, causing him to smile even more as he reached up to press his lips against my forehead, before suddenly wrapping his arms around me and pulling me into a hug. I stiffened, but slowly relaxed as I exhaled, trying to calm my frantic beating heart. I felt him mumble against my hair, "You belong only to me...No scary kitty or Joker is going to take you..."

-he'll lock you up-

Yeah. In his room, maybe. Not in an actual cage like most Yanderes. Wait-shit. What have I gotten myself into? ACK! Yanderes are the one kind of people that you want to avoid! Just my freaking luck I end up d-dating one... Suddenly a cold breeze blew by and I shivered, instinctively grabbing onto Pierce's jacket and feeling him stiffen in surprise at the action. The warmth his body gave combined with the cold wintery air of Clover caused goosebumps to form on my arms. "Sh-Shut up. Don't-Don't get the wrong idea!" I tightened my grip on him, slightly giving into and slightly fighting against the urge to cuddle against him. "I'm just cold..." Oh, that's true! I am cold! Ha! He-He can't call me a liar or-or anything!

"Hm...Okay." His arms suddenly wrapped around around my waist as he pressed his forehead against mine, the dormouse grinning down at me with a mischievous look in his eyes. Wait, what? "I'll just have to keep you warm them! Promise you'll keep me warm, too?"

"E-Eh?"

"My lips are cold, Alexis." He said, causing my face to turn a deep red when I realized what he was asking. He was smiling the entire time. No... No way. Nu-uh. This was-This was Pierce! Unless...Did Boris talk to him instead of chasing him for once!? Or-or was it Blood? I remember Alice saying he was perverted. Maybe Elliot? GAH! He leaned down, bumping his nose lightly against mine as his warm breath brushed against my face. "Can you warm them for me?"

His ear twitched twice, hearing my heart race rapidly in my chest. I leaned my head back, stammering profusely. I placed my hands on his chest and tried to push him away, alarmed at the sudden situation and not completely sure of how to deal with it. "I-I-I-I don't r-really th-think that now is the-the best time?" He merely leaned closer to me, and despite my will not to my eyes trailed down to his mouth, then back up at his eyes again. It was like they were staring into my soul and Pierce was...he...I can't... why can't I...

I pressed my lips against his, causing him to smile as he raised one hand and placed it on the back of my head. His tongue brushed against my lips and I opened my mouth, allowing entrance as my mind started to grow blank. I...I said no...long... I could barely think. My brain was slowly turning into puddy. I briefly registered my hands reaching up above his head, with my fingers tangling themselves in his soft hair as I reciprocated the kiss. Heat spread through my body and in all honesty, kissing Pierce felt like forever, but like a single instant all at once. I didn't want it to end. After a few moments we pulled away and I gasped, breathless as I pulled away from and slammed a hand over my mouth, face complete red as I tried to catch my breath. My legs were starting to shake, the useless limbs starting to feel like jello. If-If that lasted any longer... Oh, god... T-Too embarrassing!

Pierce smiled and licked his lips, happy with the reaction he was given to his question. He then reached forward and hugged me, nearly causing my legs to buckle and give out beneath me. "Hehe~! Yay! I got a long kiss! Ellie was right!" E-Ellie?

E-Elliot g-gave him those lines!? H-Holy shit. I wasn't sure if I should hide in a hole and die, or if I should just go find Elliot and kill him myself. Wh-Why couldn't I resist Pierce, damn it? He-He's not... I-I mean, he is but he's not... Oh, god...

Hormones. I settled with, just like when I had first started to like Pierce. I was in denial again, but this for a different reason. It is definitely hormones. Pierce is not s-sexy in the least. He's adorable. And cute. And-And he has his moments were he actually appears h-h.. Damn it, I can't even think it. This was too embarrassing. I felt like crying. My poor heart still hasn't calmed down yet, and my face felt like it was on fire. I could taste the coffee Pierce drank before we left.

It was weird. I hated coffee-I mean, I tried drinking it, but it was still rather bitter to me. B-But after-after times like that I... I swallowed, wiping the saliva off my mouth with my sleeve. I actually liked the taste of coffee then.

"L-Let's just get to the circus already, okay? We-We're wasting time!"

"Aww~!" Pierce whined, having thoroughly enjoyed himself. Jerk! F-Freaking...freaking seducing me like that-that was unfair! I-I don't go around seducing him! Then I realized what I thought, and how horrible that statement was. Pierce...seductive? No way. LIES! LIES I TELL YOU! I REFUSE TO THINK OF HIM IN THAT MANNER!

Even if he's your boyfriend?

Shut up.

You can't deny that you're attracted to him both physically and emotionally.

Not listening. La-la-la-la~!

You love Pierce~! You love Pierce~! You love kissing him~! You love hugging him~!

SHUT UP!

All those goofy little smiles he gives you? And that ridiculous teary-eyed face he gets when you accidentally upset him? Even when he gets all possessive...

I SAID SHUT UP, DAMN IT!

You LOVE it. You're so in love with him. Just admit it.

"I SAID SHUT UP!" I screamed, only to freeze when I realized I said that out loud. Pierce stared at me stunned, and I could feel the red creeping up from my neck to my ears and to my whole face. "I-I..." Well, damn. My relationship with Pierce just went out the window. "I'm just...GOING TO GO NOW I'M SO SORRY, PLEASE DON'T HATE ME!" I screamed, bolting away from Pierce as fast I could, completely and utterly humiliated. H-He thinks I'm a nutjob! No, no, no, no, no! This-This can't be happening, this can't be happening, this can't be happening-"Oof!" I grunted and cried out, slamming into someone and knocking him onto his back on the ground. "I-I'm so sorry!" I squeaked, pushing myself off the red-haired man and pushing myself to my feet.

The man who was on the ground was surprised, and pushed himself up with his elbows. He looked up at me surprised, and I hesitantly held out a hand. A smile spread across his face as he took my hand, I helped pull the tall adult onto his feet. "Ah, that is quite alright...?"

"Oh, uh, A-Alexis." I looked behind me nervously, feeling really bad about leaving Pierce behind, but also rather glad he hadn't popped up yet. I didn't feel like facing him after that small spurt just yet. "Uh, a-are you...um, well, do you know where the Joker is?" Crap. Just had a Batman flashback. He looked pleasantly surprised for a moment as he placed a hand against his chest and slid a foot back, bowing gracefully.

"Why, he's right in front of you, Miss Alexis."

Oh, that again. "Alexis is fine." Saying this has become a reoccurring habit, apparently. "W-Well...Can-Can I play against you in cards so I can change the season?"

"Cards?" He questioned, before smiling again. "Of course. What would the young miss wish to play?" I looked surprised, having expected him to choose the game, before thinking for a moment. I ignored the gut feeling that was telling me to run. Something about his voice... it bothered me. I couldn't name it, though."Uh..." I crossed my arms, trying to think of a good card game, ignoring my paranoia. I regretted running away from Pierce. I'd feel safer if he was here. Agh, I'm turning soft. Anyway, card games...Slap Jack? No, too easy... Black Jack? Nah... "Crazy eights?" I'm good at that.

He smirked. "As you command, Alexis." He snapped his fingers, and I jumped in surprise when a table and two chairs appeared out of nowhere, a deck set and ready on it. "Please, take a seat." He extended a hand out to the chairs. I hesitantly did so. Joker sat down across from me, picking up the deck and shuffling it. "Do you wish to go first?"

"S-Sure."


"Yes! I won!" I grinned like a mad man, my good mood instantly restored. Joker's eye widened in mock-surprise, as if he didn't expect that.

"Oh, my. So it appears. Very well then," He said with a smile, "What season do you wish to change it to?"

"Ah..." The Amusement Park was...autumn? No, summer, right? I wasn't able to say anything as a voice screamed my name.

"ALEXIS!" Joker's eye widened in shock when a body suddenly barreled into me, knocking me out of the chair I was on. "I-I said not to go without me! It's not safe here, Chuu!" I grunted and pushed myself off, ignoring the adrenaline rushing through me at suddenly being tackled, and scowled as I tried to pull Pierce off of me. Unfortunately he wasn't budging, so I had to deal with him clinging onto me as we sat on the ground. "Wh-Why did you run off like that!?"

Why did I run off...? ACK! C-Crap, I was so caught up in the card game I forgot about that accident! I flinched and turned my head to look at Joker, exclaiming loudly, "Summer! Summer, please!"

Joker, though startled, snapped his fingers. He then asked, "You two know each other?"

"Che. Stupid brat-of course she's with the mouse out of all the other role-holders!" I jumped, startled at the new voice, and was about to ask where it came from when Pierce pulled me onto my feet and started to drag me away.

"H-hey! Pierce, get off! What are you doing!?"

"Heading to the Amusement Park."

"I-I mean why are you being so rude!? I was talking to him-"

"It's not safe here, Alexis."

"Haaaah?" How is it not safe? He's one of the nicer role-holders I met! Unlike half the people here in Wonderland, he doesn't go around shooting me in the face upon first meetings! Stumbling to keep up with Pierce, I awkwardly waved to a surprised Joker. "S-Sorry! See you later!"

He waved back slowly, as if unsure of what to make of what was happening. Yeah...I don't know either. I was surprised that he was still smiling.

As we were walking through the forest, it...grew hot. Like 97 degrees summer hot. D-Damn... It's been so long since I've felt this kind of weather. It's... I was starting to grow tired just from walking in the heat. The highest Wonderland normally gets would be around sixty and seventy, while the lowest was during the night periods around thirty and forty. Makes me wish I brought one my sundresses that Gray had me buy. I felt sweat bead on my forehead.

It was so hot... As we walked, we eventually approached a giant gate which lead into an amusement park. Which, just like the rest of Wonderland, was very fairy-tale. Marchen. Old-Fashioned, but modern. And, probably, with just a hint of deadly. "Th-This is the Amusement Park?" I questioned, surprised. I felt excitement bubbling inside my stomach. This was going to be so cool! I, once again, forgot about the little accident in the forest.

Pierce nodded, grinning. "Yup! There are lots of rides here, chuu! They're really fun!" Fun...

A grin spread across my face and I reached over and grabbed Pierce's hand, looking up at him and asking, "Well? Which one first!?" He looked surprised for a moment before he grinned. However, before he could say anything a voice interrupted in surprise.

"Eh? New customers already? The season just started!" The person laughed, and I paused, watching as a man with red hair tied in a small braid wove his way over to us excitedly. He wore glasses, and had some stubble on his chin. His eyes were green. He wore an obnoxious yellow outfit, with red accents, and around his waist was a belt with plastic horses hanging off of it. He had auburn hair tied in a small braid, his bangs short and messy. The man stopped in front of us and smiled at Pierce, surprised. "Ah, been a while since I've seen ya, Pierce! How's Boris been treatin' ya?"

"..." I blinked, confused. Pierce knew him? I half-expected Pierce to tackle the man, but to my surprise he didn't. Instead he decided to grab onto me-who was wearing a sweater and a jacket, two pairs of socks, snow boots, and thick jeans, in the middle of summer. I really regret not bringing any spare clothes with me... I could have just changed in one of the bathrooms here at the park. Just great. Freaking fantastic. "C-Can you...get off of me?"

"Oh my, are you alright little lady?" I looked up at the man, seeing him frown worriedly. His eyes widened in surprise, "You're no faceless! You're a foreigner, aren't ya?" A grin spread broadly across his face. "My name is Gowland. I'm the owner of this amusement park here!"

Go land? I thought stunned, wondering if that was his first name or not. Was he like Ace, with only one name? "I'm Alexis." Wait, Amusement Park owner? Since when do Amusement Park owners wander about their own Amusement Park? Did they do that? I had no idea. How do Amusement Park owners work? How do people work? I've always wanted to know that.

Gowland stared at Pierce and me for a few moments, before asking with a grin, "Are you two together? Ahaha! Pierce finally got some action, huh?" He reached over and ruffled my hair, exclaiming while laughing, "Good job, little lady! I just met ya and you're already on my good side! To think Pierce got a lady friend before that cat-Haha!"

...H-Hah!? "W-Wait, you-" I tried to pull away from Pierce, who stubbornly decided to stay hugging me. I was sweating bullets. Why is he still clinging to me; I'm disgusting. "Just where do we buy tickets?"

"Tickets?" He asked, pausing for a moment. He then grinned, and said, "Well, seeing how you're not only a foreigner, but as you're Pierce's lady friend, I'll give ya a pass! And..." He frowned, placing a hand to his chin. I can't tell if I should be scared or not-Oof! Pierce, damn it, get off! You're heavy-and you're as sweaty as I am! Gross. I missed Winter already. And I hated winter. "Why are you all bundled up like that? Did you come from the tower?"

"Yep! Alexis lives there, chuu!" Pierce answered with a grin, giggling. He's going hyper again... He was actually quite toned down on the hyperness for a while. I think the Amusement Park is exciting him. "She wouldn't live with me, so I'm living with her, so we both came from there to here, chuu!" And by "living with her" he means sneaking into my room when I'm sleeping and cuddling up next to me, giving me a heart attack when I wake, and eating dinner with everyone. Jerk. "She's so cute~! Chuu!" He leaned over my shoulder and pressed his lips against my cheek, causing me to scowl. Too...much heat...

Where's some water? It's too hot... It was more like 100 degrees now...

"Ah...Do you want to change out of those clothes?" Gowland asked curiously, looking thoughtful. Pierce smiled widely, and I wasn't given any time to respond as Gowland clapped his hands, causing me to get blinded by a bright light.

...And when the light faded, I screamed and dropped to my knees, trying to cover my bare arms and shoulders as best as I could, while tugging on the green chiffon sundress in an attempt to cover my bare legs. My boots were replaced with sandals, my jacket, shirt, plants, and socks were all gone, and my hair was now done-up in a side pony. In all honesty, I felt naked. Even my neck was bare.

"H-Hey, you alright, darlin'?"

D-Dude, what the hell just happened? Wh-What happened to m-my clothes!?

"Alexis, chuu?" A shock of electricity went down my spine when Pierce's hand touched my shoulder, causing me to freeze up and hold my breath. His ear twitched and he tilted his head, looking down at me curiously. To my surprise, Pierce was now wearing a plain green T-shirt and shorts, along with sunflower sandals.

"Wh...What the hell happened!?" Since when could people here in Wonderland make clothes evaporate into thin air!? And how did they make new clothes appear!? And more importantly... "How the hell did you find out what my dress looks like!?" I scowled and glared at Gowland, lifting my head but never removing my arms. W-What's going on!? This was really weird-weirder than normal for Wonderland. At least, from what I knew.

Things were happening a little too fast now that I thought about it. First Wonderland gets seasons, then a new guy moves into Clover tower. Next I find out that there's a Circus and an Amusement park-one of which is run by this really polite ginger who is actually rather fun to talk to, and another who can magically replace your outfit! This isn't-

Freaking Wonderland logic! Right, duh, stupid me for being a foreigner. I forgot the number one basic rule about Wonderland.

-anything can happen. Nothing is impossible-

Yeah. Gray sure drilled that into my head. I scowled and hugged my self, awkwardly standing as I pressed my legs together, highly uncomfortable. I couldn't figure out if I should stand with my legs apart-like I normally do as I found it more comfortable- or stand with my legs pressed together to make it feel like I was less naked and deal with my thighs touching each other? Ugh, I feel gross. Though I'm not as hot anymore... S-So, that-that's a plus... And my dress covered practically everything that was really needed. It covered my chest and the skirt stopped at mid-thigh, with an extra transparent layer on top ending at my knees. I looked down, arms still crossed, and lifted a leg lightly, wiggling my toes as I tried to get used to the new feeling.

I missed my sneakers already. An arm wrapped around my shoulder and I jumped, letting out a startled high-pitch squeak at the feeling of skin brushing against my own. "You alright, chuu?"

"I-I-I-" I stammered horribly, feeling the heat creep up my neck all the way to the very tips of my ears.

Gowland interrupted, asking with a frown, "Do you not like it, little lady? It was what was in your mind."

"M-My mind!?" He nodded with a grin.

"Yup! It was what you wanted to wear." I-I didn't want to wear this! This was humiliating! It-It was worse than the dress I wore to my very first assembly! At-At least I had leggings and a jacket with that one! "Well, I'm gonna go check on the rides and make sure everything's going well. Have fun, kiddies~!" He laughed heartily, and I scowled in his direction. Jerk.

Once he was gone, I felt Pierce pinch part of my dress, looking at it curiously with furrowed eyebrows. He appeared to be thinking deeply about something. When it hit him, his face lit up and he smiled widely, looking like he was about to bounce up-and-down off the walls. L-Let go of m-me! The hairs on the back of my neck stood up and I felt goosebumps forming on my arms, all from the feeling of his arm against my bare shoulders. My face was probably burning at this point. T-Too close! I flinched when his face came close to mine, his arms sliding over my shoulders and wrapping behind my neck. He leaned down with a bright grin.

"I remember this dress, chuu! I picked it out when we met!"

"N-No, that-that was a different one!" I denied, wishing I could lean my head back. S-Stupid dormouse! "S-Stop being so-so delusional! Stupid! You're acting like a complete idiot!"

"Ehhh?" He said in surprise. His confused look quickly grew into realization and another grin spread across his face. "Oh; Okay. Chuu!"

I was going to yell at him, but he closed the distance and quickly pecked me on the lips. He pulled away quickly and grabbed my hand, dragging me into the Amusement Park entrance as I scowled and glared at the back of his head, waiting for his ears to catch on fire. Sadly, none of this happened. Jerk. "L-Let go of my hand!" I shouted, still glaring. However, despite my words, I made no effort to slip my hand out of his, merely letting him lace his fingers with mine.

...We had better ride at least one damn rollercoaster.
