Pure: Yes, flame me, hate me, whatever you prefer.

Alice: It's only been a week.

Pure: Yeah and a week isn't long, so 1 I was procrastinating, 2 a lot of cleaning to do for a party, 3…just lazy.

Alice: -_-"

Pure: But mostly reason two for updating so late, very sorry about this. Hopefully this will make up for it…maybe…

Alice: And we will see where this will go!

Pure: *Yawns* Glad your happy about this…

Alice: You're tired?

Pure: Yeah…too much cleaning…and homework…disclaimer…

Gowland: Pure doesn't own Joker/Clover/Heart no Kuni no Alice.

"That is a tree, those are buildings, were on a sidewalk, and over there is a street." Alice said as she pointed out each and everything she started to list. Peter looked at all the things she said, very curious about each one.

"Ne, Alice!" The rabbit-eared man asked, pulling at her sleeve.

"Yeah Peter?"

"That! Look!" He pointed at a small bakery on the other side of the street.

"The bakery?"

"Yes! Can, can? !" His eyes lit up, the smell coming from the place was breath taking to him, and he wanted to smell more.

"I don't know Peter…Julius is going to get mad if we don't get home soon…" The rabbit's expression sadden, his ears underneath his hat drooped.

"Okay…" The maiden felt guilty now, I can't blame him for being curious, but…I'm going to be in so much trouble when I get home.

"Well…maybe we can go in for a little bit, but only for a little bit ok?" The crimson-eyed man's face brightens up once more, he hugged the girl unexpectedly.

"Thank you Alice!" The huntress patted his back, soon he dragged her across the street to the other side, luckily there was no cars coming by when they did.

"Peter! You got to be more careful when you cross the street!" The young miss scowled him, he nodded his head.

"Sorry…"

"Just be more careful alright."

They both went inside, it was fairly small place, but the smell just took your breath away. It had a mixture of different breads, desserts, and tea, Tea? That's interesting to see in a bakery. The white rabbit looked all around the shop, his eyes wide open the whole time, as he had never seen or smelt anything like it before. His eyes soon rested on a small pastry in the display case.

"Can I help you with anything?" A worker asked as he saw the two, the maiden looked up at Peter, seeing that he was eyeing a dessert.

"Yes, we'll take that one please." She responded as she pointed at the one the rabbit gazed at, he looked at his owner, quite shocked by her actions.

"Excellent choice, that one has been really popular lately." He wrapped up the pastry and placed it in a bag for them, he then handed them the bag. "Please come again."

Alice waved to the man as she and Peter left the bakery, "Why?" The young man asked, still not so sure why she did that.

"Because, you looked like you wanted to try it, buying one thing isn't going to hurt anybody. Here, try it." The blue-eyed girl pulled out what she bought and handed it to him, he took a bite as his face lit up.

"Good!" The crimson-eyed man exclaimed as he took another bit out of it.

"Glad you do, it's a blueberry tart, my mother use to make me some when I was little."

She smiled, taking a bit out of the one she bought for herself; they ate in silence as they continued their walk. A thought ran through the brunette's head, she pondered the thought for awhile before having the courage to ask Peter what was bugging her. But the man noticed that she was fidgeting around, which made him worried for her well being.

"Alice? You okay?" Looking up, Alice saw that Peter had a worried expression on his face.

"I'm fine! I was just wondering…how old are you? You look like you're at least 20, but how about when you're a rabbit?" She asked the white rabbit tilted his head to the side as he thought about her question.

"2…3 soon." He answered, the maiden gagged a bit on her tart when she heard his answer.

"Two? ! That young? !" The man nodded his head.

"Young when a…aban…abanden?"

"You mean abandon?" Peter nodded once again, her outlook seemed to lose its warm feeling as one of hate and sadness took its place.

"I'm….sorry about that….Peter." The rabbit-eared man stopped the young girl by placing both hands on her shoulders, making her look back at him.

"No fell sorry, I ok now, I with you Alice." He smiled, trying to reassure her, she smiled back to him, and then a small laugh escaped her lips.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to laugh, it's just….you're really cute when you're trying to talk. Sorry again, I shouldn't think this is funny, but I can't help it."

More laughs came out as she tried to muffle them with her hands; Peter White just smiled to her. They once again continued their walk, soon enough they came to the house as it stood there in all its glory. The miss was able to stop her laughter when they came up to the gates that lead in to their home.

"Well we're here!" She exclaimed, throwing her hands up into the air, the man squinted, and then took off the glasses. The huntress saw that he took them off, "Is there something wrong with the glasses?" She asked.

"Hard see." He said as he looked over the thing called glasses.

"I wonder why…well…Julius did say everyone doesn't have the same eye prescription as one another. It was probably a bad idea to give you his in the first place, I just have to make sure to make you an eye doctor appointment then."

"Eye doc appoint?" Peter tried saying, but couldn't pronounce the words all the way.

"Eye doctor appointment, it's where you go to get glasses fitted for your own eye sight, it's perfectly harmless. We better go inside; you should change back as well."

The rabbit obeyed her command as a cloud of smoke came once again, he was then back in his rabbit form. The blue-eyed girl picked him up, carrying him inside with her, the place was trashed once again, a sweat drop formed at the back of the girl's head at the sight of the place.

"Shit! I'm in so much trouble once she gets-ahh!" Boris started to say, but stopped once he saw Alice standing by the door way.

"Boris is everything alright?" She asked as she looked around the room.

"Alice! I…was just…I mean…I didn't mean…wait what? !" The instructor was beyond confused now, as he stared at Peter who was in the maiden's arms.

"What's wrong?"

"He! I just! What the hell? !" He said as he pointed at the white rabbit, she looked down at Peter then back up at the punk man.

"Oh, were you looking for him?" The brunette pointed at the rabbit in her hand. "Peter White followed me to school today; luckily he was obedient and stayed outside until school was over so I could take him back home."

The older man was furious now, he had just spend all morning searching for the creature, as he worried his head off about what the girl might have done to him if he didn't find the rabbit. The cat just started laughing for no reason, feeling like he would one day go mad by this white rabbit, as he walked away from the two. The blue-eyed girl just watched as her friend left her by the entrance to the house, she shrugged off what just happen and just walked upstairs to her room.

Once there, she set Peter down as he transformed back to human, clothes still on and everything. "How were you able to keep your clothes on?"

"Not sure, just can." He shrugged.

"Ok then, how about you watch me do my homework, will help you learn more about what's going on in the world…slightly anyhow." Pulling out her books, the huntress set them down on the bed where the crimson-eyed man sat cross legged next to her.

"Homework?"

"Yup, it's what students do at school in order to help them practice in the subject they're taking."

"Students? School? Subject? Practice?" Poor Peter's head was spinning from the new words he just heard as he tried to comprehend what each one meant.

"Don't worry about that right now, we'll take it nice and slow. You'll understand what they all mean in due time, alright?" He moved his head up and down in agreement; the girl began her homework when a knock on her door was heard.

"Alice? I need to talk to you." Julius called from the other side, she shrieked at his voice.

"Wait! I'm changing! Don't come in!" The brunette jumped up off the bed, she kept silently telling Peter to change back, but he couldn't read her lips well.

"Yeah right Alice, I'm coming in." The door knob began to twist open, panicking; Alice pushed the young man back on her bed as she put the covers over him. She then got on top of him to hide the fact that he was there.

"Hi Julius! What do you need? !" She asked, seeing the bluenette come into her room, he raised an eyebrow to the position she was in, but then shook it off.

"I need my glasses back, now." He sternly said.

"Of course!" Putting her hand behind her back, the young miss felt for the glasses, Peter face was flushed as his owner touched his face, but kept quiet. She finally found the glasses and pulled them out. "Here they are!"

The miss shot up and ran right in front of her guardian, glasses out to him, he took it from her. "Thank you…do you need to see the eye doctor?" The older man asked.

"Yeah! I should have told you that I was having trouble with my eye sight, but I was embarrassed to tell you." She rubbed the back of her head, a sheepish smile on her lips.

"I'll make you an appointment then."

"Preferably earlier the better!" He looked back at her before nodding his head as he left her be. Closing the door, Alice sighed as she turned to face a flushed Peter.

"Ne, Alice? Why cheeks hot?" The white rabbit asked, touching his cheeks.

"Oh, they're not completely hot, there red from your blush."

"Blush?"

"Yup, your cheeks heat up or turn a bright red color when you're embarrassed or something…excites you I guess." The blue-eyed girl explained to him, he touched his cheeks again as he thought over what she said. What excites me…?

"Hey Alice I-"Julius started as he opened the door, but then heard a yelp. The maiden quickly took off her shoe and threw it at the rabbit-eared man, which caused him to fall back on to the bed with a huge bump on his head.

"Julius! What are you doing back her so fast? ! And what happen to knocking? !" She whirled around to face him, her expression fuming.

"My house, my rules, and I came back to tell you that your appointment is in about an hour. One doctor owed me a favor so he is willing to look at you for free, would you like me to take you there?"

"No no, I'm good, I'll just walk there. Thank you so much Julius!" She hugged him; he patted her head before prying the girl off him. He left as she closed the door to her room.

"Owww…" Peter said as he sat up, rubbing his bump in the process.

"Sorry, I panicked there, but now we have your appointment to get to. Transform back so we can go." Small tears formed in his eyes, but he nodded as he transformed.

~~~~~~~xxx~~~~~~~

They came up to a building that had a sign with an huge eye on it as it read below "Dr. Austin's Eye Lens and Wear.", Alice stared up at the sign, then back at Peter. "Well lets go in." She took his hand and took him inside.

"Is safe?" He asked, not so sure about the place.

"Yeah I'm sure; I've been here before when Julius needed new glasses because I broke his old ones." A small giggle escaped her lips at the memory; inside was deserted, though could you blame it, closing time was to come.

"Alice? Is that you?" Austin called out.

"Yup, it's me." He came out to greet her, but stop short when he saw Peter.

"Who's this?"

"This is Peter White, he is a friend of mine and…well he was the reason why I asked Julius to set up an appointment. Please don't tell him about this, I knew I couldn't set up the appointment so I made it seem that I needed it when Peter needed it more. So pleeeease don't tell Julius." The huntress pleaded.

"Its fine, I promise I won't, Peter was it? Come with me so I can check your eyes." The man waved him to follow; the rabbit-eared man looked back at the brunette, eyes slightly scared.

"Its alright, you'll be fine. I'll be right out here ok?"

She reassured him with a smile, he gave a small smile back before following the man into another room. The maiden took a seat in the waiting room; she swung her feet back and forth to pass the time. I hope Peter is alright in there, there shouldn't be anything for him to worry about. Austin is a good man, but I hate how I have to lie to everyone about Peter being able to transform. I just don't think they could handle it yet.

The young miss sighed; she stared up at the ceiling, taking great interest in its structure, soon the door opened. The white rabbit came out of the room whit his new glasses on, they were big and round on him, but it fitted his personality well. "That was fast."

"Yes, l was lucky to have the right lens for him already in stock, saved some trouble from ordering new ones for him." Austin said.

"Thank you Austin." She replied to him as she took Peter's hand. "I'll see you later!" The girl shouted back as they ran out of the place.

"Works well!" Peter said as they came to a walk.

"That's good, now you should be able to see-"

"Alice?" Both the blue-eyed girl and crimson-eyed man looked to the new voice, Blood stood a few feet away from them.

"B-Blood! W-What are you doing h-here? !" The maiden stuttered a tint of pink came on her face at the sight of the man.

"I was just got out of work, but what are you doing out so late? And who are you?" The ravenette asked as he pointed to the man behind her.

"I'm Peter White, you?" Peter asked his tone was faintly hard; he already hated the man in front of them.

"My name is Blood Dupre. I'm Alice's friend's older brother." He replied coolly, and then looked back at the younger girl. "Alice?"

"Y-Yeah?" Her blush darkens a bit as he got closer to her.

"There is something I'd like to ask you."

"What is it?" The college student took her hand and kissed it, which caused her blush to turn a scarlet red color. A low growl escaped the white rabbit's lips at the sight, but no one seemed to hear it.

"Would you go on a date with me?"

~~~~~~~xxx~~~~~~~

Pure: *Yawns* Well here is that…I had no idea where the date part came from…well I guess Peter needs some competition don't you agree?

Alice: I guess, but why Blood?

Blood: And what's wrong with me?

Pure: Hey, been a while hatter.

Blood: Been a while too Pure.

Alice: You're actually on speaking terms now?

Pure: Why not? I'm tired anyway, hope you enjoyed this.

Blood: Please review.

Pure: Also I did some research on how old rabbits are in human years around 1 they are 21 in human years and 27 when they are 2. I changed that a bit since I don't want him to be 1 so he is 2 almost 3 but is 20 years old in human form. Just in case anyone was wondering about that.
