Chapter 10: Ironic Beach Trip is Ironic
"This. This is our resting spot. We meet back here when the sun starts to set. You got it?" Alice asked them as she dropped the twins stuff underneath the umbrella she set up.
All the kids nodded.
"I'll be here most of the time. If I'm not here, I'm in the bathroom so don't freak out. I also only want you coming here to me if you have an emergency, so if you just want to come here and ask me questions, I'm sorry but no." Alice said while looking in Vivaldi's direction causing the little girl to stick her tongue out sheepishly.
"If there's a problem notify me immediately. If you are the problem, you're going to be swimming with the fishies tonight, understand?"
All the kids gulped under her stare and nodded again.
"Good. Now drop your stuff and have fun." She sighed with a smile. All the kids did what she said, Ace went straight into the water with his boogie board to go surfing, Gowland, Blood, and Nightmare walked off talking about finding buried treasure, the Jokers both gave each other a grin before they ran down the beach towards a gift shop, and Gray and Vivaldi sat by the waves chatting with Hana-chan who seemed to be having just as much fun as them.
"Oh! Let's build a sand castle!" Boris grinned at Elliot who returned the smile, "Sounds like fun!"
Pierce picked up his bucket and began walking to hunt for sea shells.
Peter and Julius shared a blank stare as they watched Alice sit down on her towel with the twins who began pulling on her jacket sleeves, "What is it?" She asked the two as they pointed at an ice cream cart not too far away making the girl giggle.
-.-
"Oh! What are you guys doing?" Pierce asked curiously as he walked behind a bunch of rocks where the waves splashed repeatedly in a violent fashion with his bucket of sea shells half full. Black Joker and White hid behind the rocks, both holding binoculars,
"Watching Hag." White Joker answered honestly,
Black Joker gave a smirk not looking at Pierce, "In a bikini."
Pierce nodded obliviously, "Yeah, I think her outfit is real tiny, she might catch a cold in it."
"So? She looks hot in it." White Joker said moving his vision from the foreigner and rolling his eyes at the dormouse.
Pierce nodded again, "Well, she does have a jacket on… She better be careful though." He said inspecting her from afar as they did.
Black Joker lowered his binoculars, "Why?"
"Because the twins both have ice cream… It could get messy… Well, at least none of it spilled on her." He shrugged before looking down into his sea shell collection.
As soon as he said this, both Dee and Dum dropped their ice cream cones on her stomach and leg. Pierce blinked, "Well, at least it's not melting really fast."
Once his words were finished, Alice jumped up from her position and began yelling about how it was cold, "Dee and Dum why'd you do that!? It's so cold! And then when it finished melting it'll be sticky!" They heard her moan from their spots.
Pierce cocked his head to the side, "Well, at least her jacket is still on."
Dee and Dum snickered at Alice's misfortune and tore off her jacket as Alice continued her squealing and yelping.
Both Jokers watched amazed at the scene.
In a daze, White Joker looked over at Pierce, "…Okay Pierce, I want you to say, 'At least her top is still on'."
Pierce looked at him confused, "…What? Why?"
"Just fucking say it! It's important!" Black Joker urged as Alice began scolding the two toddlers who refused to give her back her jacket.
"Okay." The five year old said as he began looking through his sea shell collection, "At least her top is— Hey! I lost my pink heart shaped shell! I was going to give it to Alice-nee-chan!" He cried as he turned around and instantly began looking for his shell.
"No! Get back here and say it!" White Joker growled running after him.
"Come on… Enough kiddy stuff. At least show some more cleavage…" Black Joker mumbled to himself as he zoomed in a bit more on her chest as she began wiping the ice cream off of herself. "Hehe, Hag you are one dirty girl…" He said with a grin.
-.-
"Any of you guys hungry? No ice cream though." Alice deadpanned as she looked at the role holders that had decided to stay close to her, Boris and Elliot just finished making a sand castle, Peter was reading a book and the twins were sleeping on her towel.
"I am!" Boris grinned, standing to his feet and accidently knocking down his and Elliot's creation, "Hey! Watch it!" Elliot cried covering his eyes.
"I'll go." Peter got up as he gave Boris a glare which he didn't catch.
"I want a hot dog!" The Cheshire Cat hyped before took Alice's hand and began running towards the stand with Peter in tow. "You're running to fast!" Alice exclaimed.
As soon as the trio was out of sight, Julius came under Alice's umbrella. "Where'd you go?" The Hare questioned as Julius put Dum on his lap, "Elliot, come here for a second," The navy haired boy said.
Elliot crawled under the shade obediently.
"Here, hold Dee." He commanded though confused, Elliot still complied, "Um… Why are we holding them? They're sleeping."
Julius's narrowed eyes looked into his, "Plausible alibi."
When his words were finished, a huge explosion went off. Elliot widened his eyes as he looked behind him. The hot dog stand had blown up about ten feet from where Alice, Peter, and Boris stood. Nervously he turned over to the smirking long haired boy, "I can assume this is the beginning to a wonderful friendship, right?" He sweated a bit.
"Best friends forever." Julius' smirk became a bit bigger as he played with Dum's hair. "And ever and ever and ever…"
-.-
"Noooo! Why the hot dogs!? Why not the stupid veggie burger stand!?" Boris cried in anguish as it began raining franks and buns.
Alice sighed, "I guess we can try the hamburger stand."
Boris continued sulking as they walked away from the panicked crowd of faceless, "But it's not the same…"
"Probably not, but at least you get to eat." Alice shrugged as they entered the huge line.
"Aw! The line is so long!" Boris complained causing Peter to glare at him in irritation, "Stop with the complaining."
The cat pouted but said nothing else.
Alice looked down at Peter in response. It was kind of amazing how he wasn't as bluntly rude as he had been before and though it was obvious he had a soft spot for her, he wasn't going on and on with love confessions.
If Alice had to decide, this was probably the Peter that she liked the best.
The thought brought a smile to her face and unfortunately it didn't go unnoticed to a young faceless adult who was passing by.
Finally, the three got to the front of the line and got what they wanted.
"Here, I'll hold your stuff." Alice said taking Boris' sand castle shovel and bucket so he could eat. Peter then proceeded to take the stuff out of Alice's hands, "I'll hold it." He said simply. Alice smiled at him, "Thank you, Peter. You're so sweet."
As they continued walking back to their spot, Alice was then grabbed back by her shoulder, surprised she turned around and saw a faceless guy smirking at her, "Can we help you?" Peter glared up at him. The guy ignored him, "Hey, gorgeous." He said to Alice, who blushed lightly,
"Um, hi?" She said unsurely.
"So, why's a pretty girl like you all alone?" He questioned as Alice bit her lip attempting to find her words, he put his hand under Alice's chin, "Maybe we can—"
"SEXUAL HARRASSMENT!" Peter screamed as he picked up Boris and threw him at the guy who fell to the floor from the impact. "AHH!" Boris yelled in surprise. "What the fuck!?" The guy cried in pain as he attempted to get up, Alice went over to help the two up, "Peter! You can't throw Boris like that! Are you two okay?" Alice put a hand down to help the faceless guy up who accepted her hand, "SEXUAL HARRASSMENT!" Peter repeated as he took Boris' bucket and chucked it at the guys head causing him to slam his head down into the concrete once more.
Alice pulled her hand back in shock.
Boris got off the ground teary eyed, "My head hurts!"
Alice forgot about the faceless man and immediately went to Boris' side to help the injured little boy, "SEXUAL HARRASSMENT!" Peter continued as he turned Boris' shovel into a water gun and began shooting water at the guy at a surprisingly heavy force.
"Here, let me see." Alice gently told Boris kneeling down to see the top of his head, "Can you kiss it and make it better?" He cutely asked Alice as he snuggled up closer to her. Peter turned his attention from the faceless man and turned his cold emotionless eyes to Boris, "SEXUAL HARRASSMENT!" The White Rabbit exclaimed as he began spraying Boris who was nearly blasted away from Alice from the force of gun. "AH!"
"Peter-chan!" Alice scolded as the rabbit ceased soaking him, "I didn't mean to make you mad. I was only protecting you from being exploited." He justified with a nod to his head.
Unable to truly get angry with him, she sighed and she picked up Boris from the floor, "Not only that, you also got the food wet."
"Aw! I'm still hungry!" Boris sulked as Peter loaded up the gun, "Are you thirsty?" He asked coldly as Boris vigorously shook his head.
"Let's just get back to the rest spot." Alice sighed as she took both their hands and began walking away from the twitching body of the faceless man.
-.-
"I hate you guys." Nightmare bluntly stated as he glared at the young hatter and musician.
Blood stuck his shovel in the sand next to Nightmare, "No love was lost."
"Seriously, get me out of here!" He cried while he struggled, the two young role holders had buried the silver haired boy neck deep into sand.
Gowland snickered, "But the sand is doing wonders on your health!"
"But you buried me up to my neck in sand!" He exclaimed.
Blood rose up from the ground, "Yeah, so? At least we didn't bury you close to the waves."
"Now be quiet! The crabs are coming!" Gowland grinned.
Nightmare blinked, "Crabs?"
Blood nodded, "Yeah, the ones that are going to make a nest out of your nose,"
"And eat your brain and cut off your tongue and ears," Gowland continued with a wicked smirk. Nightmare widened his eyes, "ALICE!"
"Did someone call me?" Alice asked turning over sleepily as she awoke from a nap she just had. She was laying flat on her stomach and was using her arms as a pillow as she was out in the sun taking in a tan.
Ace sat over her, "Pst. VIP, I think you should roll over." He whispered.
Alice rubbed her eyes tiredly, "Hm… Why?"
"Because, the words I spelled on you used up all the lotion. If you don't, you'll have tan unevenly." The little boy informed her.
The foreigner nodded still not fully awake, "Oh. Okay… Wait. What words?"
"The ones I spelled on you while you were sleeping during your sunbathing." He honestly replied as Alice widened her eyes, she got off her stomach and went inside the twin's bag looking for a mirror. Once she found one she used it to reflect what was on her back, squinting, her mind unraveled the backwards words.
Spelled on her back was 'Property of Ace'.
"ACE!" Alice shouted breaking the mirror in her hands as she turned over to the smiling boy, "What? You said to make my intentions clear." He said not faltering. Alice got to her feet, "When I get my hands on you, I swear!" She sneered as she began chasing after him,
"By the way, that's seven years of bad luck. Haha, I hope you don't believe in that karma crap, VIP!" He laughed before he ran into the water. Alice stopped when her feet touched the cold water, and instead she glared hotly at the boy who continued swimming away.
Turning around she began walking back to her tent, when a knife came soaring down by her foot. Shocked, Alice took a step back as her heart began racing. Looking over from the direction the weapon came from, she saw Gray and Vivaldi sitting by the shore, with a numerous knives laid in front of them.
"And this is my Bowie, butterfly, trench and machete." He finished as he pointed at each of them. Vivaldi's eyes got wide, "Wow! We had no idea you could hide so many!"
"What are you kids doing?" Alice sternly asked as she approached them. Gray looked up innocently, "I'm showing Vi-chan my knife collection."
"There are only eight knives." The foreigner blankly stated leaning down to look at them all. "I did have ten, but I tried to teach Vi-chan to throw them."
Alice looked back over at the stray knife that almost hit her, "Uh… Okay, where's the other one?"
"That guy won't give them back!" Gray pouted as he pointed at a man in the water, who was being carried out by a life guard,
The faceless man's motionless body had a knife sticking in his exposed back and from the opened wound blood poured into the waves he was dragged out from.
Alice's eyes got wide, "You stabbed that guy!?"
"No, he just had poor timing." Vivaldi defended both of them as they watched the guy get hauled onto a stretcher; Alice palmed her face as she began walking back to the umbrella already feeling exhausted.
She really didn't know how she was supposed to last the rest of the day.
Vivaldi followed after her, "Alice-nee-sama! I thought of more questions!"
"Why follow me? I'm doing nothing fun but watching the little kids, don't you want to go back to playing with Gray-chan?" Alice questioned as she sat down on her towel.
Her teal eyes rested on the nearby younger role holders that continued trying to build their castle with little success.
Vivaldi took a seat right next to Alice, "No. I'm going sit here… Like what you're doing…"
Alice scowled but said nothing.
"What's your favorite color?" Vivaldi asked.
"I like all colors." Alice responded.
"Favorite hair style?"
"I prefer straight down. Pig tails and pony tails make me feel opened and out there… Like bikinis." Alice blushed lighting looking down at herself.
Vivaldi gaped at her, "Seriously!?"
"Yes." Alice bluntly retorted. Vivaldi put a hand on her chin, "That's no fun! Alice-nee-sama has to be more secure with herself!"
This made the older girl cock a brow, "How can I do that?"
"First things first! Do you prefer men with good hands or good lips?" She questioned making Alice stone up.
"Neither." Alice bluntly answered.
Vivaldi pulled a note pad and pencil out of seemingly hair, "Okay… Stuff animals or makeovers?"
"Hm… Stuff animals." She admitted, "Hey, Vivaldi, can I see your note pad for a second?" Alice asked as the little girl tossed it over carelessly. Alice's eyes widened at what was in front of her, "You've asked me like a million questions!"
Each time she flipped through the pages there seemed to be a whole set of questions and answers that accompanied them.
She couldn't believe that Vivaldi managed to ask all of these in about a day.
"If I don't, then I won't be able to be like you!" Vivaldi pouted as she watched Alice let go of the paper.
Alice began calming her breath as she rose up, "I think I'll go for a walk." She twitched as she left Vivaldi there to retrieve her notepad.
-.-
"That fish looks good." Boris licked his lips as he looked into the water from the sandbar he was on.
"For a cat, you sure swim fast." Elliot breathed while he swam onto the piece of land.
Pierce paddled himself over from his floaty tiredly, "Are you guys sure Alice-nee-chan would let us be all the way out here?" The mouse asked worried causing Boris to snort, "She wouldn't, but she wasn't there so we couldn't ask anyways. She went on a walk or something."
"Oh. But still." Pierce mumbled as he attempted to get on the sandbar properly.
"These fish look so tropical." Elliot said in awe as he watched all the sparkling fish go by, "I think you call that one an Edward." Boris snickered as he pointed at the glittering fish.
"Why? It looks more like a Jasper." Pierce acknowledged. "Oh. I was going to say Emmett because it looks a bit big." Elliot shrugged as he walked over to the other side of the 5 foot long bar. "Either way we can agree that it looks girly and stupid. I mean what kind of fish sparkles in the Sun?" Boris bluntly stated.
Both little boys gave voices of agreement, "Well, I've done what I've wanted. I'm going back." The Cheshire cat said before jumping into the water, instantly he was seen swimming back to shore.
Elliot sighed heavily, "He can't stay in one spot." And with that, the Hare jumped into the water and began swimming.
Pierce looked down into the water unsurely, "It's such a far way… But I have to go back." He mumbled as he looked down.
-.-
"Ow!" Blood and Gowland cried through the floor as Alice crushed their faces into the sand.
"You two are such bullies!" Alice said as Nightmare hugged onto her from behind, "I love you Alice! Thank you for saving me!"
Alice rose her feet off the two role holders who got up and immediately began spitting out sand from their mouths, "Seriously? Burying a poor guy like Nightmare? How would you like it if I did that you both!?" Alice rhetorically asked as both boys paled.
"Not very much…" Gowland murmured,
"But it depends… Would you take us out like you did to Nightmare?" Blood blushed as he remembered how Nightmare's head was practically smothered in her breast as the girl attempted to pull the little boy out the sand.
"No, I'd leave you both at the mercy of the crabs." Alice deadpanned, bursting both boys day dream.
"Ah! We said we were sorry." Blood said with a pout,
Gowland nodded, "We were just having fun. No harm no foul right?"
"No harm!? I got pinched in places that you aren't suppose to be pinched!" Nightmare shouted at them as the duo shared devious smirks of accomplishment. "You guys can't behave for one day can you!?" Alice glared at them wiping off their smiles.
Blood looked to the floor, "I behave all the time…"
"Same here." Gowland shrugged.
"Our behavior just isn't to your liking." They replied in unison.
"That's it! I'm going to—" Before Alice could grab onto either of them, a shout went through her ears,
"HELP! ALICE-NEE-CHAN! SOMEONE!"
She immediately turned her attention to the ocean, in the distance in the corner of her eye she saw a small figure splashing violently in the water, from the voice she automatically knew who it was as she propelled herself down the beach in that direction as fast as she could.
"Damn, she's fast!" Gowland said as Alice was already in the water closing in on Pierce. Blood's eyes widened, "I think she's part super hero or something!"
Alice swam faster towards the floating boy who wasn't making any sign of movement, scared but still determined she didn't panic, she simply picked up his body and began her way to shore just as fast as she had made it in, adrenaline still pumping through her body. Faceless lifeguards swarmed her as she made it to shore.
"SHUT UP AND BACK AWAY!" Alice screamed as she dropped Pierce onto the sand that was sturdy. By now, most of the beach occupants were gathered around, Peter and Julius ignored it as some stupid stunt and remained in their seats, Ace continued surfing oblivious, Boris, the twins, and Elliot continued building their sand castle, Gray and Vivaldi were discussing about the proper way to brush a stuffed kitten, and Blood and Gowland ran away from Nightmare who was throwing crabs at them.
"Ma'am! Let us help!" A guard said as Alice ignored him, Alice pushed her head to Pierce's clock. Seeing that it was still ticking but slowly she pushed back some lose strands of her dripping hair and leaned down to the dormouse's mouth.
"Whoa. What's with the gathering?" White Joker asked as he and Black Joker pushed through the crowd with ice cream cones. Once they made it to the front they both dropped their cones in shock at the display in front of them,
Alice continued the CPR procedure until she finally felt his clock speed up; relieved she pulled up from his as he rose up hacking up water. "Ugh, my throat burns…" The dormouse moaned in pain as Alice brought him into a tight hug,
"Don't scare me like that." She told him quietly. Soon, the crowd began to dispatch once they realized the little boy was alright. "What happened?" Pierce asked blinking his emerald eyes innocently, "All I remember is my floaty popping and then I blanked out."
Alice sighed, "Nothing happened… Just don't go out to sea alone anymore." She said breaking the hug.
Pierce shook his head, "But I wasn't alone!" Alice looked at him expecting him to continue,
"What the hell was that!?" The Jokers shouted running over to Pierce, "Pierce, you scored!" White Joker said pulling Pierce into a hug, Black Joker grinned, "You lucky bastard! You actually tapped it!"
Pierce looked at them confused as Alice glared at them, "Get away from him before you poison his mind, you seaweed brained brats!" She gave both of them a knock on the head causing a lump to form slowly.
"Now, I think Pierce-chan's example shows why we can't leave the mansion! We're going back right now! No exceptions!" Alice shouted.
The Jokers looked at each other, "Not yet! Please! Just until sun set!" They defied holding their heads.
Alice raised a brow, "Why not?"
"Just because! Please, just lay down, take a nap or something, but we don't wanna leave!" They begged looking up at her their red eyes glistening. Alice looked down at their adorable faces actually seeing them look angelic for a minute.
They were so cute when they wanted to be, it wasn't fair…
"Fine." She sighed as she began walking to her umbrella.
The Jokers high fived each other before the both raced off their own way.
"Julius, please wake me up when the sun starts to set, okay?" Alice asked the boy who looked up from his book.
"Sure." He remarked shortly.
Alice nodded at him as she laid down, "Also, please make sure Ace doesn't come anywhere near me." She deadpanned causing the boy to nod once more.
Sighing, Alice closed her eyes before she fell asleep.
-.-
"Wake up Alice." Julius shook her lightly as she found herself waking up.
"Huh? What's going on?" Alice asked tiredly as she looked at the boardwalk and stores in front of her, they held a orange tint over them contrary to the bright light she had seen before she went to sleep.
"Turn around!" She heard Vivaldi, Pierce, Boris, Blood, and Gowland order. Alice turned her body around to see the smiling faces of the role holders as they all sat directly in front of the sun that was setting down the horizon on the sandy beach right before the waves.
"It's so pretty…" Alice said breathlessly.
"Yay! We wanted you to see it at its prettiest! So we made sure you went to sleep before it could happen!" Vivaldi chirped happily.
"Yeah, it was my idea." Black Joker admitted rubbing the back of his head sheepishly,
"But I agreed." White Joker pushed him lightly. "I made sure they didn't do anything stupid." Peter mumbled while playing with the sand underneath him.
"I made sure they all didn't tell you." Ace winked.
"I made sure you stayed asleep until the end!" Nightmare threw in as all the other kids looked at him as though he were crazy. Nightmare gave Alice a smile though.
Alice smiled at all the kids touched that they did all that for her, "Aw, guys… Thank you. It's so beautiful!" Alice said causing them all to blush except Vivaldi, "I'm glad you think so." Elliot stammered as he took a seat next to her.
"Hurray for happiness and gratitude!" Boris grinned sitting on her lap.
"I think this time is the best time of all." Vivaldi squealed happily. Gray petted Hana-chan as he took a seat to Alice's other side, "So it's only best that we show out likeness somehow."
"But this is so wonderful… Aw, I love you guys." Alice kissed the top of Boris' head sparking immediate jealousy around the role holders, "Hey! Can I sit on your lap! ?" Was a question that was spoken in unison as all of them immediately began arguing.
Alice sighed, "Well… All's well it ends well right?"
"No! Because I still never got my hot dog!" Boris cried as he picked himself out from the sand pile that one of the older kids had thrown him in. Alice looked at him and instantly began giggling uncontrollably,
"Does this mean we get to come back to the beach soon!?" Pierce asked excitedly.
"Hahaha! Of course!" Alice giggled as all the role holders began cheering. "Hahaha, I lied." Alice deadpanned as the sun finished setting.
"Awww…."
