Chapter 10

Reality and Memory

"Alice?" Runo called her but she didn't react, making other looked at the-spacing-out Alice.

"Alice, dear!" Julie screamed but still no responded.

"Should we make her some surprises?" Dan smirked.

Shun looked at the-spacing-out orange girl who haven't return to the reality.

A light bulb appeared on Marucho's head as they whispered to the five other friends as they nodded but not Shun. He doesn't want to do to Alice and never.

Billy gave them command, "Okay, on the count of 3. 1…2… 3!"

"ALICE!" yelling her name in unison, making the other students to look at them with sweat-dropped.

Alice jumped with squeaked, as she looked at her friends who have a grinning face, relieved and not to mention expressionless from Shun.

"What on my world happen to you guys?" she tilting her head innocently.

Everyone sweat-dropped looking at her dense. "Alice my dear, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU SPACING OUT? We have called you for about 5 minutes ago!" Julie yelled at her with an anger tone.

"YEAH ALICE! LOOK! JUST TELL US IF YOU GOT SOMETHING STUCK ON YOUR BRAIN!" Runo yelled at her too, making her sweat-dropped.

Alice looked down and shook her head slowly, "I don't know, guys. I just suddenly remember my old past. The good and bad memory not to mention the sad also come." She explained with sad tone.

Everyone felt guilty and not knowing what to say. At that time, Alice smiled widely, "Don't be so worried guys. That's just the past. Forgetting the past with some ice-creams will make me better, right Shun? You better remember to treat me today." Alice demanded and smiled playfully, looking at Shun's questionable face and her friends' puzzled eyes.

"She healed fast!" everyone thought in unison, amazed by Alice's airhead attitude.

"Anyway, guys. Isn't it time for class?" she asked.

"Darn! We are late!" Dan yelled, all of them stood up and ran to the class hopefully they didn't late for their periods.

Alice and Shun sat at their usual place. Another clip memory came to her head.

FLASH BACK

It was a week already after the incident. Alice hasn't gone to any school because her traumatized so in her everyday she always help her grandmother cooking, washing, cleaning and shopping. Slowly she recovered and smiling more. It was that Friday who changed her.

'For my only life, I would never fall in love with any guys and I will just make him as a friend. I don't want anything happen to me again. Although this vow will break my dream, I don't care, I don't want suffering that anymore. Im too scared. Maybe my dream to search a nice, good looking, caring you and always protecting you was a dumb idiot dream. If Miki heard this she might be mad at me but I don't care.'

But deep down in her heart her hope to find the prince always there even though she always denied it, her heart never lied to her.

After 1 month, her grandpa got a job in Japan, she was really happy on when she heard it. They will move this curse town to Japan. She hoped that she will find some good friends and forget all the past she had here.

'Sigh. Why yesterday's incident so déjà vu, it was a few months ago but it was like another reply. Of course the 'rape' one didn't include though but still. Ugh!' she thought frustratingly and sighed heavily.

She didn't know Shun was observing all her movements. Deep down he was worried with the orange-head but another voice said that he shouldn't ask her because it will make her sadder. After his fan girls incident, Alice got more strange than usual, but she always smile. Wondering what happen to her.

'Maybe just maybe I have to ask her.' he thought final.

Bell's ringing and all student started to grabbed their books. Not to mention Alice and friends also. Today Shun will take her to a famous ice-cream tent in Japan. Alice never travelled much on Japan since she arrived here. She just knew some places but not ice-cream tent.

"Guys! Lets hang out at Runo's restaurant!" Julie cheerfully invited them.

All of them were agreed except Shun and Alice.

"Why guys? I thought we were supposed to be always together." Dan pouted as Runo smacked him to the floor.

"OUCH! THAT HURT RUNO!"

"YOU MORON! IDIOT!"

"WHAT DID YOU SAID!"

"I SAID YOU MORON. ARE YOU DEAF OR WHAT!"

"GRRR!"

Everyone sweat-dropped as Marucho tried to calm them down.

"So, whats happen?" Billy asked.

"Ara, don't you remember Shun will treat me ice-cream today and he said he will take me to a famous ice-cream tent or so that he was saying." Alice explained and smiled.

Runo and Dan stopped fighting. Shun will take Alice? was on their mind as they slowly smiled widely, making Shun annoyed.

In Runo's thought: 'Wow, I never see Shun take any girl. Don't tell me he likes….'

In Dan's thought: 'The hot-shot finally got his…' he smirked.

In Julie's thought: 'Oh my Gosh! Finally he got one! Oh! The little Shun grown up already. Sniff.'

In Billy's thought: 'Huh? Shun take Alice? Well, that's weird. But this is an opportunity for him.'

In Marucho's thought: 'Great job Shun! Way to go man!'

"Okay, Alice I understand. Then have a good day you two. And Shun, don't try to do anything to her." Julie said to him with a playful tone.

Everyone laughed except Shun who was blushed and Alice who was froze, for them it was a joke but for Alice it was like a real. But she knew Shun would never do that to her. He isn't like Robin is he?

"Tch. I never have done something like that." Shun muttered angrily.

Alice quickly snapped, as they walked together to the place. Julie and Runo waved good-bye at them as their shadow blurred and gone.

"Wow, do you think what I am thinking?" Julie asked their friends as they nodded with a wide smirk.

"Alice is too dense to understand it, should we help her?" Runo suggested an idea.

"Let them be Runo." Dan lazily shook his hand.

"Yeah, I agreed with Dan." Marucho lift up his glasses.

"Awesomely romantic if Shun and Alice could be a couple." Billy said much surprising others.

"Oh Billy! You are so cool !" Julie clinging to him as he blushed.

Runo tired of Julie's clinging so she quickly asked about their hang out to her restaurant. They all nodded, went out with some chatting, they happily reached Runo's place.

As for the couple of Alice and Shun, they were now in the tent that Shun was talking about. It was a simple tent with ice-cream draw in it, Alice didn't mind simple. She likes simple but the ice-creams were totally delicious, you can imagine chocolate flavor with many toppings. Oh yeah!

"Oh Shun! This is the great ice-cream place I have ever went! I will go to this place again for some times!" Alice took a spoon of ice-cream on her mouth. Feeling like a heaven, her eyes were brightened with many stars, making Shun blushed as he ate his own ice-cream with vanilla flavor.

"Hmm! Delicious! Oh My Gosh! I should come here every day to get rid of my stress." she happily took another spoon.

Shun eyed her, "What do you mean by stress?"

Alice flinched, "Urh, like… you know… school's day making me quiet stress. Hehehe." she laughed nervously.

"I don't believe. Tell me the truth." he said in serious tone. At this time Alice was caught off her guard. She went silent as her head bowed down in sadness.

"Okay then, don't tell me if you dont want. It must be really sad and I could understand it." Shun said with a disappointment tone. In fact he really want to hear her story all along her dark past but forcing her wasn't his way of dealing a problem. He will give her time to gather her courage to spill out everything to us.

"Im sorry Shun, I couldn't tell anything to you… yet… Sorry." was all she could say. For the last minutes she couldn't find her voice because of her surprised at Shun. Yet she disappointed him. But she quickly shook her head, snapping from what she thoughts.

'No, No Alice! Don't you dare! Your vow is still available here. Slap it!' She thought bitterly.

"Anyway, thanks for bringing me here. I really do appreciate it." she smiled gently.

Shun nodded, continuing his eat in silence, 'Darn it. What happen to me? Suddenly wanting to know her past. Idiot.' he mentally slap himself.

'Oh gosh! Shun was serious just now. Should I tell him? No! No no no Alice! They will leave me if I tell them.' she thought bitterly.

"Sorry Alice. I never want to force you… its just… I don't know… I just couldn't stand to watch you suffer." Shun apologized.

Alice lift up her head, surprised by the raven head's apologized. She smiled gently comforting him.

"Its okay Shun, one day I will tell you everything. No. I will tell you all everything."

"Yeah, that's sound good, princess." he smirked.

"Drop the princess and for your information Im not a princess." she pouted.

Scoffing a while he made a little chuckled, making the orange-head looking at him frowned while eating her beloved chocolate ice-cream.

"What so funny?" she asked.

"Nothing, anyway, have you finished your ice-cream? Its getting dark." he simply replied.

"I have finished, thanks for the treat Shun. You are the best!" she said happily, grabbing her school bag and stoop up as well Shun.

The ninja-boy walked her home because its dark in the way they walked. While walking they were chatting, chuckling, giggling, and making some jokes. It wasn't typical for Shun to make a joke so Alice was the one who bringing some jokes, making Shun frowned and chuckled at the same time.

"Anyway, haven't you asked anyone to go dance on later school's dance?" Alice asked.

Shun suddenly made his mouth shut, not wanting to tell her that he hasn't had any courage to ask her out.

"So… Mr. Hot-shot? You haven't asked any girl?" she asked again with a joking tone.

He shook his head signaling 'no', Alice shut her mouth not wanting to ask him further.

"How about you? Have any boys asking you yet?" He smirked yet a concern eyes he reflected.

This time Alice shook her head, "Did you ever see me talking with other guys except you, Dan, Billy and Marucho?" she smiled gently.

"No. So, no one will ask you?" he asked with a hope she will except his invitation on dancing with him.

"No. And I don't want to think it first. Well, school's homework, tests and mid-test driving me crazy so I don't have any time to think it." She densely spoke, not knowing Shun wanted to ask making the raven haired pulled back his invitation.

'She is so something. I guess I have to ask her later.' He shrugged whilst smiling.

"Anyway, here is your home. Well, see you again tomorrow." He waved while walking away.

"Yeah, see you tomorrow, Shun." She waved at him making he stopped and glanced at his shoulder, made a small smirked and continued his walked.

'I don't know why, but with Alice I could smile freely with all my heart and be myself. Is this they called… love?' Shun shook those statement, walking in the dark alone but he didn't scare anything. In fact he would kick butt whoever disturbing his peaceful walk.

With Alice.

"Im home." She greeted.

"Oh Alice! You are back! Today Shun was protecting you again from his fan girls?" her grandmother smiled playfully.

Alice blushed, "Ye—Yeah… Not only Shun but the rest also protecting me. Well, I never want any…" she shrugged.

"Oh no you don't Alice. I don't want my granddaughter having another nightmare like last time in Moscow. I was really grateful your friends could be by your side especially the ninja boy." she put her hands on her hips, sounding like advising little girl.

Alice blushed madly again, this time her face like a hot tomato as she remembered her vow she quickly snapped it, "Yeah, thanks to him." She smiled.

'Why I blushed? Ugh. This is crazy. Slap it Alice! You got your vow! But… I don't know why my heart will beat hard when Shun smiling, like he was showing his true nature to me and only me? Oh SLAP! Don't think to high Alice! You got to be kidding when he showed his true nature. What will happen next from now?'

Is it too long? or maybe not satisfy you guys? Oh gee Im sorry if it is. I dont know it will be this hard to describe Alice's easy-going character but with my own creation.

Alice: gee, author, you dont have to if you dont want.

Me: I want and thats it.

Dan: Ha! The author is one of idiot.

Me: *twitching annoyed*

Julie: Uhm, you shouldn't said that Dan.

Dan: what? she is gonna berserk? who care?

Runo: *smack him* I am the one who going berserk!

Me: thanks for the help Runo, you are the best!
