Nobody is reading this AN thing..

I could do anything I want with it.

Water type Pokemon suck. Fairy and Dragon are best.
I've never really liked any of the female characters in Pokemon, they always act too ditzy.
I skipped Black/White, Black/White 2 and Diamond/Pearl because I felt they were irrelevant.

This is too much power.

Boris P.O.V.

I don't like this, not one bit. We couldn't keep Alice away from Joker, and she got hurt. Now we lost Victoria to him too. He had this spark in his eye, Blood definitely saw it. The Game is now on, for good. The new foreigner, whoever gets her now is the top. It's all or nothing among us all. I'm sure Gowland can feel the tension too.

The second Foreigner ensnared in their web.

I promised myself that I wouldn't let Joker sink his fangs into any other Foreigner if I met any others before I died. The other Roleholders, especially Gowland and Elliot, are going to be really pissed when they find out about Victoria and Joker.

Oh well, what happened has happened. I can't turn back time. All I can do now is try and win her heart and keep her from Joker and the Hatters.

Victoria P.O.V.

I so don't regret anything~! It's not as good as Barnum and Bailey one I saw as a kid, but it's probably the most fun I've had here. Yeah, I got sick knowing what happened to the animals, it's terrible. But I do have to admit that it was fun to watch. Begrudgingly of course. The circus, it might even top the Amusement Park!

I love elephants and tigers, they're so pretty and smart.

Looking to my left, Nightmare, Julius, and some guy with a boss lizard tattoo on his neck sat, the three of them looking bored beyond belief. Behind me were Ace, Peter, and the Red Queen, Vivaldi herself, along with some of their servants in red and black. Vivaldi was even prettier than I thought, I'm so jealous. I feel like an ugly mug near her. In front of me was Elliot, who was sitting next to Blood. Both of them sat behind the Twins and all four were surrounded by faceless servants dressed in white. Boris and Gowland were sitting to right with some of their colourful Amusement workers as well. Some mouse guy is sitting next to them shaking and glancing at Boris every now-and-then. He's probably Pierce. Poor frightened guy, maybe I can get the chance to say hi before he runs off.

Nightmare and that tattoo guy had the least faceless with them; the least faceless servant's period in fact, and they all wore boring looking suits and dresses. So business-like. I'm surprised Blood let his servant's come, I thought people like him and Peter were bigoted against the faceless?

Clapping along with the others, I take note that almost everyone had either a bored or annoyed expression. Have they seen this act already or something? Only Alice and I were enjoying the show. Or, at least that's what it seemed to be. She could easily be hiding her expression, but I highly doubt it. She's like an open book sometimes. Quick look in the eyes and you can see exactly what she feels.

Nightmare who argued with Julius to sit next to me and wound up winning with a grin across his face. The only reason he won was because Julius didn't actually care, so now he was at the end of the bleachers. Nudging Nightmare with my elbow, I try to catch his attention. He jolts and then gives me a questioning look from his good eye on the left.

'Why is it that everyone looks really bored here? Is this act being repeated or something?'

He chuckles at me; at least I know that he heard me this time. "No, we just don't like either of the Jokers, so coming here isn't our favorite thing to do. Since we're forced to though, we have no choice. It's a part of the rules."

Forced? They're forced to go? Is that one of the reason for Blood's party? That it's part of "the rules"? Roleholder's are forced to go to events that the others hold? Thst's stupid, why?

Brushing it off, because I'll ask Julius about it later no doubt, I take notice that the shows ending and people are standing up. Here comes the questioning from everyone. I wish I had Advil then, I'll definitely need it.

Standing to leave - again my poor legs pop and crack - we all depart from the tent to the outside where people were standing in groups to talk of the show.

The first to turn and look at me fixedly is Elliot. Noooo, not the rabbit!

"I told you already Elliot, I was wandering in the wrong direction from the Clock tower and found myself at the circus. That's when Joker found me and Boris stood in the way of him to protect me Come on man, at least give me a new question!" This is the third time I've told Elliot the same story! Boris even confirmed it the first time I told Elliot. Why is it they don't believe me? "Well, you shoulda' just left as soon as you saw the circus. Even the annoying Clockhand told you it wasn't safe here." Okay. Good for you! Now leave it be! Shit happened, get over it! Stop dawdling on the past and move on already!

'I know you can hear me Nightmare. I know they're worried but could you at least TRY to calm their nerves? Even a little bit?' "March, I believe she's telling the truth. Just leave her be for now, I'm sure she learned her lesson when she met the Jokers. Let's all be happy she didn't get hurt or captured by the Jokers this time." 'Thank you Nightmare~ I owe ya~'

Letting out a sigh of relief, I lean against a wall behind me. I was lucky with that one, because I didn't know that wall was there, I only guessed it. This is ridiculous to be honest. I know Elliot's worried, but he's questioning me like a cop would. He even grabbed me by the shoulders when I walked out of the tent! I HATE when people grab me by the shoulders.

It's kinda cute that he's protective of me, but this is going too far. It was the questioning that was annoying.

Glancing up at Elliot, I notice all the emotions flying through his deep, silky amethyst eyes. That was the first thing, besides the bunny ears of course, that I fel in love with on him. I've never met anyone with such entrancing eyes, even when people had contacts on! Wait- ah.. Yeah, no. Not in love, no. Love at first sight is bull. You need to develop a bond that can take years to build, then you can assume it's love.

Apparently the guy with the awesome lizard tattoo was Nightmare's assistant; Gray Ringmarc.

Everyone was talking except for Elliot, Gray, and Julius..

Elliot kept looking over at me, as if he was worried I was going to run off or disappear right in front of his eyes. Pushing myself off the wall, I waltz over to Gray; whom I've never met before. I'm curious though! Pierce ran off from Boris chasing him, damned cat. Strolling past each man and woman, I stop off next to Gray and wait for him to stop talking to Nightmare before tapping his shoulder gently. His head turning to look over his shoulder, I put my hands in my pockets and swing back and forth on the balls of my feet.

"Hey~! You must be Gray. Nightmare mentioned you in one of the dreams he visited me. I'm Victoria!" I say with a beaming smile, pulling a hand from my pocket and offering it to him in a shake.

.

..

Okay..?

He's just- staring at me. So are all of the others, some snickering and others looking at me as if i had a second head. Did I say someth-

"Yes, I'm Gray, Lord Nightmare's assistant. So you are Victoria? Lord Nightmare has said many things about you." he says as he turns slowly, a small smile on his face that lit it up immensely. Taking my hand, he shakes it firmly, as i return the favour with a squeeze. Nevermind!

"He has? Cool beans~ What's he say? Anything good?" I hope so~ It'll make me day so much better!

"Well, he said you were mean to him last he visited you. Most of what he said was that you were an interesting young woman, and I have to say that i agree."

Interesting? What's with everyone and that word here? Interesting. What's so interesting about me? Maybe because I'm not like Alice?

He keeps saying "Lord Nightmare"; picturing Nightmare in a princely garb is too much for me to handle right now. Chuckling softly to myself, it slowly boils into a hysterical, madman-like, laughter. "I-I'm sorry- I can't take that s-se-seriously! Ahahahah~!" Collapsing onto the ground, all I hear is my laughter and Nightmare whining about something, probably about me laughing at him.

"Victoria! You really are mean! I thought you liked me!" wailed the aforementioned sickly incubus.
