I really hate doing an author's note for a chapter, that's why I'm going to post a short, relatively short omake [special] chapter right now to ease everyone who didn't get the memo.

So please read the author's note at the end of this short special chapter.

Thank you for your kind and wonderful patience.

Special Chapter: Bicycle Ride

If anything was an indication to Alice's bad mood today, it was the fact that her cellphone was ringing with urgent text messages, calls, and voice mails from her two obviously worried best friends and yet she didn't bother to pick up.

Nor did she bother to go to school on a school day.

What worsened it all was that she heard the radio play the sad tone blues just around the time she was having this bad mood. She chucked a Buneary plushie right on over to it. Anything to kill the music that only irritated her more.

Drew had one job. One fu- oh wait, no cursing. Ladies aren't supposed to curse. Alice thought sarcastically- One stupid job throughout this whole little engagement shenanigan.

"You were supposed to take care of May! Is that so hard to ask?!" Alice's mouth moved in time with her memory. That, though only happened yesterday, the argument was becoming hazier in Alice's eyes. But she wasn't gonna give up yet. Her anger was not over.

"Drew Hayden! Are you listening to me?! I found May crying in Nurse Joy's arms begging her to stop the engagement!" Alice's anger was boiling, hot and ready. Her sharp tongue always got the best of her these days and she didn't want to start another House War. She was only glad that her parents were out last night, treating the Maples to a good old fashioned dinner to cheer them up, or else she'd have been in big trouble.

But being stuck in this stupid house, with her idiot of a brother –who hasn't bothered to speak to May yet, for all she knew-, and Raven off to goodness only knows where because he just had to ask for a week's leave and all, she wished she could get outta here. She wished she could find someone to talk to. Someone who was there during the engagement party. Herra and Meg were –are- great friends to talk to, really, they listen well and Herra most especially when you need a stern reality check and Meg for the cheering up but they weren't the best when it came to… familial matters like these.

She sighed and settled down on her Queen sized bed –it took her a month's begging and promise of no wild, crazy summer parties just to get it- so she could grab the remote and find something to get her mind off it for a while. Her parents were out –again - to check if any damage had been done to the hotel. Hopefully none but a broken, soon-to-be sister-in-law was in need of a fix.

If only Drew would just talk to her!

She really didn't care what was on but then the music was playing, probably the opening or ending or whatever, but then she heard the words and the idea didn't leave her mind.

"Jitensha, jitensha,"

Jitensha –Alice knew, after her long summer vacation in Japan, that it meant bicycle. And the question came to her like a bolt of lightning. Why not go on a bicycle ride?

And the more Alice nurtured the idea, the more she thought it would be a good thing. For her, at least. The clear air, the wind against her hair.

Without thinking, or heeding any of the incoming calls and texts she'd be receiving, or any of the ones she received as of the matter, she grabbed her cellphone and her jacket, rushed out her door, shouted to anyone who was listening a short "I'm going out for a bike ride!" and completely dashed out for her bicycle that she'd begged for but never got to use in the 5 years after its purchase.

She didn't know where the Maples lived, that was for sure. You'd think, since May was going to be her sister-in-law, she would have at least known where the family lived. But nooooo! Stupid scumbag brain just decided that it was useless at that point. Alice thought angrily, which led to an internal debate with said scumbag brain.

So as to let her leave the poor brain alone, her thoughts wandered back to the conversation, or rather argument, she had with Drew the night before. It really wasn't something pleasant to remember. If Alice were to consider, it had been one of the worst arguments she's ever had with Drew to date. Sure they got into some spats, to a certain degree, but they were things that could've been easily resolved by a simple solution.

But this one was completely different! Alice thought angrily, her mind racing with so many answers to his comebacks at her. Is it really that hard for me to come up with a retort? She asked, hating the ways her brain made her all confused and just so- so-

GAH!

Alice swerved her bike to the left, her feet stretching sidewards in her attempt to slow down the process of falling down as she has found herself in the rural part of town, and by that I mean the forested, squirrel infested part of town. Just to avoid that stupid driver who couldn't see where he was driving!

Her bicycle tumbled through tangled bushes, fallen branches and overgrown roots. Thank heavens she was wearing a helmet!

The next thing she knew, her nose was being tickled by a swaying flower head. She tried to make the flower sway the other way, or brush it off her nose but it just continued to brush against it. To which she found utterly irritating.

She grabbed the flower by the stem and looked up. Her mouth gaped open.

Something tells me it the flower wasn't swaying by its own accord.

There stood before her was a figure wearing a bunny mask with matching bunny ears, and through the eyeholes, she could distinctly make out eyes the color of blood.

When Alice would get home that day, explaining her disappearance and all, her parents would never believe what she saw. But she was telling the honest truth and what she saw was what she saw.

Who would've thought little Alice went down the rabbit hole?

I told you this was relatively short. If you guys are curious about what happens next, then I suggest you wait until I post "The Colors We Chose That Day", which is not really a direct sequel but sort of like a prequel/sequel depending on whose story is being told in that certain chapter.

If you guys are gonna ask why'd I post this then, it's because I don't like to go against fanfiction rules to use chapters as author's notes. I am plainly keeping it safe.

Here, then, is a full explanation on my part about the story, since forgive me for being so vague about the idea of a sequel:

There will be a sequel to Suddenly Engaged. I'd like to think of it as a part 2, but you can consider it as a sequel too. Though the title is unofficial –for lack of the better term- I will just call it "Wedding Jitters", which will come after "The Colors We Chose That Day". You, my dear readers, and I know very much well that there are certain plot twists slash plot holes here that haven't been continued/explained yet. And I don't plan on leaving things like that. I remember saying that it's the end of Suddenly Engaged, I never said it was the end of the whole story.

If you're asking why not get directly to the sequel, it is very much because I feel awkward letting you read a sequel with a time skip. I can't tell you much of the details; in fact, I planned on keeping it low until I finished writing all my other fanfics, (just blame it on my muse and his donkey friend for letting out all the plot bunnies), which haven't had an update in years. Also, "The Colors We Chose That Day" has certain chapters that explain everyone in their own time, in their own home, their lives within the Suddenly Engaged storyline.

I apologize if I was very vague with my hints of a sequel. I just realized the urgency of telling you guys about it when I realized I really was vague with it. And paranoia is getting to me again.

But I'm really glad you guys loved my work, I was very worried you guys didn't like it and I am also very grateful to all those who followed it until the last chapter of Suddenly Engaged, but rest assured that there will be a sequel. I just need your utmost patience, is all.

Thank you very much, everyone. Hopefully I can update now that summer vacation is fast approaching! And I apologize for all my shortcomings and I thank you very much!

So please, no flames~
