A/N: Sorry that it's not a chapter. I had a really bad cold. I'm still a little sick to. I only had enough time to write this. But I'm entering a new character in this who will eventually show up in future chapters.

Thanks to those of you who read, followed and/or faved. A special thanks to pastaaddict for reviewing.


Short: Alice, William, and James: A day by the river

Alice: 6

William: 6

James: 8

Alice was adventurous. She couldn't keep still for even a minute. One minute she would be right next to you the next she would be climbing a tree.

This often led to her mother always having to chase after her or apologize to the town's folk for her shenanigans. They didn't mind of course, they loved her energy and how she could light up the room with just a smile.

One day she met up with her friend William Johnson (who she secretly had a crush on) and his best buddy James Kirkland (who she hated because they were both wanted William's attention).

James, Alice, and William were happily eating turkey sandwiches that James alpha father had prepared for them.

"What do you guys want to do after we're done eating?" James asked only being civil for William. He hated Alice, she was his rival after all.

"How 'bout we go fishin." Alice suggested.

"Sounds boring." James said.

"I think it sounds fun." William piped up.

"Two against three, I win." Alice said triumphantly.

James grumbled in irritation.

"I'll go get the bait and fishing poles. You two stay here and don't start any fights." William said giving them both a slight frown.

"We will." They both said in union.

William smiled and left confident that his friends would listen.

It went that way at first but of course Alice had to start making poping noises with her mouth.

"Will you stop that?" He asked after three minutes.

"Stop what?" She asked knowing that it was getting on the alphas nerves.

"That poping noise. It's annoying."

"Okay."

"Thank you."

A minute later she started to make clicking noises. James glared at her.

She stopped.

Five long and boring minutes later William returned with the supplies. They both sighed in relive.

They grabbed a pole, Alice giving a shy thank you and James giving him a pat on the back.

When William turned around Alice and James glared at each other.

They spent the day fighting for Williams attention. For instance, James used magic to keep the fish away from his fishing line and would pout. William would comfort him with pats on the back and reassuring smiles. Alice pretended to have a hard time putting the bait on the hook or whenever she caught a fish she would pretend to need help. Being the nice boy that he was William helped her.

Eventually they had to go home, much to the disappointment to the three of them.

They stopped in front of Williams house, but instead of going in William turned around and glared at the two of them.

"Alright guys. I've had enough of you two fighting for my attention." He said his hands on his hips.

"You noticed?!" They asked surprised, in union.

"Yes, I noticed. How could I not have? James, you kept using your magic to keep the fish away when it was fishing season. And Alice, you fish all the time. I know you can handle a little bait and fish. You two turned what was supposed too be a fun day into a frustrating one. Now please stop fighting?" By the end of his little rant he was panting hard.

Alice and James felt ashamed. The entire time they were only thinking about themselves.

"We're sorry." James apologized for the both of them.

"We'll try to get along better." Alice promised.

"Thank you." William said gratefully.

He hugged them with a big grateful smile on his face. And they accepted it.

But the next day they were back to fighting. Oh well, nothing William could do but to accept it.


A/N: Sorry that it's crappy.

Pastaaddict: I figured that I needed to add some form of magic and I needed a reason for them to stay together, so it fit. Yea, Arthur's father is pretty stupid. And I'm sorry that I'll have to keep you waiting to see what happens next. I hate getting sick. :'(
