Gilbert/Raven: Bambi Birthday does not own Pandora hearts, for if she did there would be A LOT of BreakxGil...

"A bird's chirp. Sunshine flowing in. Mmm... Isn't this the best setting for having tea!" Break said sitting at a table that was very out of place in such a delapidated place that looked as if it could cave in at any second. Snowdrop was sitting in a chair nest to her master, sipping tea from a fine china cup.

"That's quite enough, Break. Please finish your tea, it's imprudent." Sharon Rainsworth walked towards her servant.

"It's alright, isn't it Ojou-Sama? There is still time to connect to the path." Break responded. He looked over at their dark haired and darkly clothed companion, "Won't you at least come over here and have some candy, Young Master?"

"...I'm fine." He said.

Break crunched on the sucker in his mouth, "If you really that nervous, you'll mess up even the things you're able to do." Once his sucker was gone he spit the stick out of his mouth, "In addition to our task, we have to follow the Rainsworth House's judgement. Even if you are against the organization, please make sure that you keep this a secret and do it right."

The young man gave an annoyed sigh, "It's fine. I won't do something like messing up." He then sat straight up in surprise when he saw Snowdrop right in front him. He hadn't noticed that the chain had gotten out of her seat, much less moved right in front of him.

Snowdrop smiled at him and held her hands out toward him. They were filled with all sorts of confections in brightly colored wrappers, "Snowdrop thought that Gil-... err I mean Raven might like something sweet to help his nerves."

Raven look of surprise changed to gratitude as he took a candy wrapped in bright blue, "Thank you, Snowdrop."

She smiled even more, then went back to the table and stood next to Break.

"Well then," Sharon said, "Shall we start the preparations? By our hands, we'll save Oz Vessailius!" At her words Raven and Break stood up. However, only a few minutes later, Break heard CRACK sound. Aparrently he was the only one who heard it. "Break?" Sharon said to try to get his attention.

Break didn't reply but quickly grabbed Sharon and Snowdrop and pulled them close to him. Then a great, swirling gust of wind (A/N: it was the best I could come up with...) came from the center of the crumbling room, blowing them off their feet.

"This... This is a surprise!" Break as the wind died down, revealing the unconcious body of Oz Vessailius, "He managed to get out of the abyss with his own power."Sharon and Snowdrop shared a look of shock.

Raven held the blonde boy in his arms, "This is... impossible."

"Well," Break stood up and helped Sharon and Snowdrop up, "I guess we can call these results 'all right', can't we?"

"That's true." Sharon went over to Raven and the sleeping Oz, "Finally, we have Pandora's key. From here on, there's no turning back. Even if he... is a fallen angel that will bring about destruction."

oOOOoOOooooOoOoOoo

'Alice... Is she alright?' Oz thought back to his last memory before he blacked out. Alice, B-Rabbit, was going to be eaten by that other chain. But he made the contract, and she had kissed him, so she was safe, right? He opened his eyes and saw a young man with messy black hair. 'Who... are you?...' He reached a hand toward him. This man looked a lot like... "Gi..l?.."

The raven-haired man turned and looked at him, Oz stared at his golden eyes. The man stood up and grabbed the long black coat Oz had been using as a blanket. "Break, he woke up." As he pulled his coat on he walked to the white-haired man.

"Ah, that's good." The white-haired one replied. He was sitting on a couch next to... Sharon? He looked at Oz, "Hey Oz-Kun, good morning."

"Morning?.." Oz asked.

"This is one of the Rainsworth Family's mansions. We just happened to be at the place you appeared so we took you under our protection."

Oz wasn't sure whether he should believe him. This could still be the Abyss, this was probably an illusion.

"Are you still half asleep? Welcome home. this is your world."

Oz stared in disbelief. He was really back. But before he could say anything, the door to the room opened and Snowdrop walked through. "Break-Sama, I got Oz-kun some clothes just like you asked." Oz thought her voice sounded light and soft, like a little bell.

"Good work Snowdrop." Break smiled and gave Snowdrop a butterscotch. Then he quickly spun around to face Oz again, "Oh my! That reminds me, we haven't introduced ourselves!" He gave a little bow, "My name is Xerxes Break. I serve the Rainsworth Dukedom. By the way the little one is Emily!" He pointed at the doll on his shoulder who in turn laughed. Oz stared at him like he was insane. Ignoring Oz, Break continued, "And this is my chain Snowdrop. Don't be offended if she doesn't talk to you at first, she can very shy. In fact she rarely talks to anyone she doesn't know well."

Snowdrop waved sheepishly. Oz remembered her, the pale Snow-like girl. He noted that the white and ice blue dress she wore added to the effect. She walked to him and handed him the clothes. Oz quickly got dressed behind a room divider. Once fully dressed he stepped back into the main part of the room.

"That looks great on you!" Break said.

"Thanks..."

"It fits your childish image much more than that uniform. No competition indeed."

Oz gave him an annoyed look.

Break held a chair out for Oz at the table Sharon and Snowdrop were already sitting at, "Well for now, please take a seat. At any rate, that coming-of-age party sure was a disaster. I heard the whole story from Gilbert-Kun."

"Gil? Then..."

"Everyone is safe." Raven spoke up, "Your uncle and little sister. That servant ,too."

"Right, right." Break sat on the table, "That's why we are concerned about what happened afterwards. Please, tell us about it."

Much to Oz's annoyance, Break speared Oz's cake and ate it in one bite. But he ignored it and began to tell them of the time he spent in the Abyss, about Alice, and about agreeing to the contract Alice told him about.

"So in other words," Break said once Oz finished his story, "you're saying that this B-Rabbit got you and her out of the Abyss by using her own powers?"

"Amazing! we were never needed! Damn!" Emily yelled.

"It seems that way Emily! By the way, where is this "miss rabbit" now?"

"About that... When I came to, she was nowhere to be found. She..." Oz pulled out the pocket watch, "She said that the sound of this watch called out to her, and she found me."

"Well, at any rate,what's important is that you're safe, Oz-Sama" Sharon said.

"Yes," Break agreed, "But now we must capture you."

Oz stared at them, "What?"

"Oz, do you know anything about the organization called Pandora?" Break asked.

"Just the name. If I remember right, it's an organization under the direct control of the country to preserve public order."

"Well that's "officially" true, you know." Break now went for Snowdrop's slice of cake. She sighed, apparently used to Break doing this. Break continued, "In fact, research into the Abyss, or more specifically resolving incidents related to that, are also one of their tasks. As you know, the Abyss is not like the prison spoken of in legends. There are also times when the path produces something on occasion, and chains come come out from there. They look for a contractor to stabilize their unstable existence. At that point, the people who join in, inviting trouble, are called illegal contractors. "

"Illegal?" Oz asked, moving his new slice of cake out of Break's reach.

"Yes. It's prohibited for normal people to get involved with the Abyss, and make contracts with chains, since it's very dangerous, of course." Break swished his fork around in Oz's tea, as if to clean it. "In other words, no matter what reason, we can't just let you walk away," Break pulled out a necklace with a weird pendant on it, "That's because the four of us are members of Pandora." He smiled.

Yay! semi-cliff hanger ^^

Oz: so I'm being captured?

Me: Yes, for once you are out of the way, we can have BreakxGil!

Break: Yay ^^

Gil: No Break, that's not a yay...

Break: Aw...

Remember, if you review you get candy from Break ^^
