Chapter 11: Going to the doctor
"Ah, not quite Flandre, the stitching is in this pattern." Alice gently untangled the threads that messily formed a hasty and incomplete stitch in the arm of the doll. Flandre watched as Alice ingeniously reformed the stitch and without her hands shaking she made such a fine stitch that it was barely visible to the naked eye. "Yay! Alice is good at dolls!" Said Flandre excitedly as she carefull took back the barely complete form of a doll. So far Flandre had learned how to stuff a doll and sew although most of the sewing was done by Alice while Flandre watched on. "Alice! Alice! Now what do we do?" She asked as Alice slowly formed the bare limp dull looking body of the doll out from Flandre's stringy tangles and mess of stitches. Slowly, thought Alice as she turned to the smiling Flandre. She'll learn it eventually… Alice handed back the bare doll to Flandre. "Now, its time to add hair eyes and clothes off course.."
"Alice! Alice! I need yellow thread!" Said Flandre as she searched through the box of strings that Alice had brought over. "Gah! Wait wait! Don't mess up the strings!" Alice said as she picked up the box and carefully rearranged the strings back into a neat order before extracting a stool of bright yellow thread and gave it to Flandre. "No, I don't want this." Said Flandre staring down at the string and frowning. "It's gotta be darker Alice! Like Mary ze's hair!" Alice replaced the string in Flandre's hand with a much darker and appealing colour which she had always loved as it reminded her of Marisa. Only looking at the string that so greatly resembled that long blond flowing hair made Alice blush slightly. "Eh…So you are making a Marisa doll for her?" She finally asked after her face was back to a more normal colour. Flandre shook her head as she concentrated on cutting the string and carefully stitching it into the barren head of the doll. "No, its not for Mary ze!...Do you have green blue like buttons?" Asked Flandre after she had messily stitched in the hair which for a beginner did not look so bad. "Um….Yes…I think so.." Alice said rummaging through the box of buttons she had too brought along.
What a strange colour to ask for…..is she simply just making up a doll?.. Wondered Alice as she finally managed to find and extract a pair of sea green buttons and handed it to Flandre. The little girl took the buttons with upmost care and tried hard to stitch them into the fabric of the doll without breaking anything. She tried as hard as she could to follow Alice's stitching pattern and stitched in a crooked smile in the face of the doll. Then she snipped off the long threads that made the hair of the doll into a shorter much neater style. She turned away from her work for a second to see Alice curiously peeking over her shoulder trying to get a glimpse of her creation. "Alice! Alice! I need cloth!" Said Flandre loudly as she picked up a pair of scissors ready to cut the cloth. "Ah, Flandre maybe I should help you cut the clothes." Alice said hurriedly as she pictured the mass destruction that could be caused by a simple pair of scissors in a little girl's hands. "Okay!" Said Flandre as she grabbed a few pieces of fabrics and proceeded to describe what she wanted from Alice. Alice mindlessly cut and stitched the cloth, pretending that Fladre was the voice in her head that always told her what to do. She was so busy concentrating on the design that she did not recognize how familiar the clothes were.
Flandre snatched up the finished pair of clothes the moment Alice was done and rushed to a corner with the doll. She started carefully dressing it away from Alice's prying eyes. "All done!" Flandre exclaimed loudly at last and rushed to show Alice the finished creation. "Look Alice Look!" Said Flandre as she shoved the doll excitedly at Alice's face. "…Eh…wow Flandre…" Alice said taking the doll into her own hands and staring at it. "I made it for you, Alice! It looks just like you right?" Flandre said as she jumped up and down excitedly. Alice felt her face go beetroot red and she smiled a nervous crooked smile which matched that of the doll. "Ah….it's very nice Flandre…" Alice said as she examined the doll. I cannot believe that she made this for me…..its so sweet and-wait wait…..you can't praise her…if she wants to improve she has to know whats wrong. Alice turned to the smiling Flandre and tried to talk before her heart melted at the sight. "Its good Flandre, but….the you need to work on your stitches and I can't always be there to help you with the clothes and basic assembling of the doll. You tangle the string too much too and-" Alice stopped as Flandre stood up with a blank expression on her face. Flandre looked at Alice and she half expected the little girl to start crying at her criticism, but to her surprise Flandre smiled brightly and jumped up and down excitedly. "Yay! This means Alice can teach me more!"
Alice sat on the floor stunned and silent for a while Flandre celebrated in her jumpy excited way. "So….you want me to come back and teach you more?.." Alice asked at last after Flandre had finally stopped to rest after all the hyper excitement. "Yes! I want Alice to teach me everyday forever and ever!" Said Flandre happily clapping her hands. "…..I don't think you will need me to teach you forever…" Alice said looking away from Flandre. "But I want you to teach me forever!" Flandre insisted impatiently and then mimicking Marisa she said, "Promise me ze. That you will teach me forever ze! So we can see each other every day ze!" Alice blushed and mumbled to herself how she hated when Flandre did that , because the little girl was surprisingly good at imitating people and if Alice did not know she would really have mistaken the voice for Marisa's. "Fine…fine.." She mumbled without thinking with an almost sulky expression on her face. "But only if you promise not to talk in Marisa's voice again.." "Deal!" Said Flandre in victory. "Hmm….What are you two doing ze?" Marisa said as she slid opened the door.
"Mary ze! Mary ze! Alice promised to teach me forever and ever! And look at what I made! Doesn't it look just like her?" Flandre said excitedly as she showed Marisa the doll. "Ah, that is good ze, but one thing isn't right ze." Marisa said smirking slightly at the doll. "What is it Mary ze?" Asked Flandre curiously. "We need to make the real Alice smile like the doll ze….So you know what that means ze…" Marisa bent down and whispered in Flandre's ear. "Yay! Tickle fight!" Flandre pounced on top of Alice and began the relentless tickling. "Ahhahaa-D-don't ahahaha think your gonna get away with this ahahah Marisa!" Alice was able to break free from Flandre's fingers and she tackled Marisa fiercely and begin to torture the witch just like Flandre had done to her. "Ahhahahahah! St-stop it ze! Hhahahaa I can't breathe ze! Ahahha!" Marisa shrieked with laughter and tried to crawl away from Alice's attacks. "Your not getting away easy!" Alice said as she laughed along side Marisa and continued her attacks on her. "Ahahahha! Ah-Hey ze. I've not seen you smile like that for a long time ze! Hhahah!" Marisa managed to gasp out as she gasped for air. Alice felt herself blush again and she stopped tickling Marisa and tried to hide her ridiculously red smiling face. Marisa took her chance and along with Flandre both of them pounced on Alice. The whole fight lasted on for a while longer until all three girls were red faced, giggling and exhausted.
"That was fun ze! We should do that more often da ze!" Said Marisa as she casually slumped her arm across Alice's shoulders as though as she was resting it there. Alice felt her face flame red again. "You should really smile more ze….How long has it been since you had this much fun ze?" Marisa asked as she leaned against Alice while Flandre in turn was resting on her. "A-ah…not in a long time….but..it was nice…I wouldn't mind doing this when I come to teach Flandre…" Alice said as she brushed a few strands of hair hanging messily in front of Flandre's cute sleeping face. "She really isn't so bad is she ze?" Said Marissa as she stared at the little girl sleeping breathing softly at her side. "Yeah….She's really not what I expected…Hey Marisa…Sorry for being so mean to you all the time." Alice said as she snuggled a bit closer to Marisa. "Hey its okay ze…Its not so bad ze…I get to spend time with you while we fight ze.." Alice blushed and then as she leaned in closer to Marisa the door slid open and Reimu stepped in. "Well I see you all are resting well. Alice, someone is here to see you." Reimu stepped aside to reveal a white haired girl clad in blue and red with strange star patterns sewn into the dress.
"Ah Eirin! What brings you here?" Asked Alice as she stood up quite abruptly which caused Flandre to be jerked awake. "I brought your pills Alice, you didn't come to take them today so I brought them over here when I heard you were here….Ah….and who is this?" Asked Eirin as she turned to Flandre who was still rubbing the sleep from her eyes. "A-ah, this is Flandre….sister of the scarlet devil." Alice said softly. "No! My big sis is Remi!" Flandre said loudly, with her super sensitive ears she could still hear what Alice had almost whispered. "Interesting…" Eirin said as Alice walked over to her to claim her pills. "Eh Alice ze. What are those for ze?" Asked Marisa with concern etched upon her face. Alice blushed at Marisa's worried features and assured her. "Ah, its nothing….just some pills…to help me get a good night's sleep." "They are for those trying to get good dreams." Eirin explained as she continued to stare at Flandre. "Who are you?" Flandre asked as she stifled a yawn. "My name is Eirin…." Flandre stared at the girl for a while and then said loudly. "You have hair just like Saky!"
"Saky?" Asked Eirin confused for a second. "Ah, Sakuya she means ze….Flandre ze…Eirin is a doctor ze.." Flandre stared at Eirin then tilted her head and asked. "What is a doctor?" Eirin raised her eyebrow in surprise. "Don't tell me you've never been to a doctor!" "What is a doctor?" Flandre asked again in an impatient tone. "Well….a doctor is someone who helps you when your sick ze.. or when you hurt yourself ze.. like when Reimu broke her arm trying to get that single coin down from the shelf ze.." Marisa tried to explain. Reimu rolled her eyes and went back to brewing tea and cleaning the shrine. "….What is sick?...How did Erin fix Reimu's arm? Isn't it broken forevers?" Asked Flandre quietly. "Ah…er…..You have to ask Eirin that ze.." Marisa said and Flandre stood up and quietly walked over to Eirin and tugged at her dress. "Yes?..." Asked Eirin as she looked down curiously at the little girl which she had heard so much about. "How do you unbroken things?" Asked Flandre with that rare gleam showing up again in her eyes as she stared up at Eirin. "Um….." Eirin hesitated and for a rare moment in her life was at a loss for words on what to say, but before she could find the right words Flandre spoke. "Can you teach me how to unbroken things?"
Eirin was somewhat startled at Flandre's request and for a second she forgot who Flandre was and the thoughts formed in her head. Well, having a new apprentice would be nice to teach….she could have real potential too and I must pass on my great knowledge to someone…It would be like being at doctor's school again instead I'm the teacher this time….this could turn out really well. "Okay." Eirin said unconsciously and Flandre cheered and fluttered up and down on her crystal wings. Wait wait wait!...What am I thinking, this is the scarlet devil's sister….I can't train her to be my apprentice! Eirin opened her mouth to say something and Flandre stopped jumping up and down and gazed up obediently at Eirin waiting for what she would say. "Actually I'm quite busy and I-" Eirin stopped halfway as she gazed down at Flandre's eager face. Flandre certainly could naturally charm a rock monster and Eirin was far from being a rock monster so her heart was instantly melted at the sight of Flandre. "…I'll come teach you when I have the time…" Eirin mumbled and she walked out of the shrine feeling dazed. What am I thinking? What am I thinking! She mentally scolded herself over and over again as she retraced her steps back down the path from when she had came. Oh well…..its too late now….and who knows…maybe….everything won't go haywire like I expect it too…
To be continued…soon
