AUTHOR'S NOTE: I had gotten this idea from rping, but the idea never turned out how I imagined it would be in the shoujo world, so I decided to convert it into a fanfic of MY version. Hope you guys enjoy!

DISCLAIMER: I own absolutely NONE of the characters or plotline, etc. from Heart No Kuni No Alice

"You, slacking off again?"

"How am I slacking? I'm not even that far from the gates!"

"Not that far? Look where we are you brat!" the march hare and bloody twin had started fighting once again. The young boy grumbled as the hare ratted him out.

"You know, it might've actually worked if I saw him more!" the crimson eyed boy stated referring to his blue color-schemed twin brother.

"Where did that brat even go anyway?" the man muttered. The boy simply shrugged. Even HE didn't know. And if anybody, Dum would've already known way before anybody had the chance to ask! Dee certainly was acting strange, just ditching him all of a sudden. When the guy returned, he's definitely going to be bombarded by questions!

"Why don't you stand by the gates like you SHOULD?" the man said sternly. A playful smile tugged at the twin's face as he chuckled before responding,

"Sneak attacks are funner~" he cooed. The man certainly was not impressed.

"And what would happen if someone is faster than you two shrimps?" he said, mocking his tone with a smile of his own. This was Dum's turn to not be impressed as he frowned. He blinked at the hare, wondering if he had just been yelling crazily at him without noticing what he was scolding them for.

"Hey, that's what traps are for~!" he said simply. He snickered as he remembered when he had filled the whole mansion with loose traps that he, Dee and Boris could make to catch the weak dormouse, Pierce.

"You two aren't unbeatable, you know." the march hare continued. The boy had a smile applied to his face once again, full of curiosity and immaturity.

"Well, it wouldn't hurt trying to be it!" he said, day dreaming about the thought. What a life that would be. But soon, the march hare decided to rain down on his colorful mind trip.

"Well, you might have to be replaced you know." he reminded the boy. Dum pouted at that reminder. He soon attempted to win back his pride in this conversation,

"So? It'll just give me another chance to be great in life~! Besides, wouldn't I have been replaced by now if I wasn't good at this?" he proudly exclaimed. Elliot snorted at the twin's comment.

"Great? You're just a runty 13 year old, you aren't great! And who knows? Maybe you're just extremely lucky." The boy again blinked and stared at the man as if he was crazy (Which technically was partially true).

"Huh? I didn't know age affects being good and all. If it did, then a 100 year old useless man would be king! And luck is always nice to keep, you know~" he fought back. The man rolled his eyes.

"Nope, you're just a useless kid. And yeah, it is, isn't it? But you're too lucky."

The boy felt a pierce through his clock. How dare the idiot hare say that!

"Hey, I'm not useless! And how would I be too lucky newbie hare?" he protested in an angry fit after the hare had just blown his rather short fuse. The hare folded his arms at the lonesome gatekeeper.

"Really? And what can you do? And obviously, you keep getting out of trouble." The twin found this question way too easy for him and quickly spat out,

"We killed a lot of servants from the Hearts Castle, y' know! And I don't see how that's a bad thing~" he snickered as an extra to his response. The march hare simply made a straight face.

"So did I. And I can perfectly see how." the right (Or was it left?) hand man said. The twin certainly had gotten into a childish state as he replied,

"Nuh-uh~! You probably only killed the ones from the Amusement Park, newbie hare! And do 'ya mind telling me a piece of it then?" The man's straight face had curved a bit into the middle of a straight face and a frown (Certainly Dum couldn't bother to try and tell.)

"How do you know? What, and risk my giving you a possible advantage? No way." The younger bantering twin crossed his arms at the other in an upset mood.

"Because, I never touch there with weapons unless it's for that old hag, Mary!" the boy quickly took a pause to try and avoid laughing at the name that his boss had shared for quite a while. It seemed the joke never got old.

"And I don't remember you killing anyone at the castle~" he continued before giving a frown of interest.

"Aww~ now you made me interested newbie hare!" he finally finished. The conversation continued on and on,

"Well, you don't know who I killed before Blood recruited me."

"You make a good point newbie hare, but why attack with that weird queen there?"

"My past is my own business, kid. Come on, I'm not gonna tell you all the cool things I did." the hare said with a grin. The boy frowned even more at this statement.

"Aww! And here I thought you were actually better than we thought newbie hare." he said in a disappointed tone, trying to urge the other to continue so he could actually maybe learn something good. Before the man could continue, he noticed that the warm, bright sun had set and was almost about to trade with the moon in the orange and pink, vivid horizon.

"Huh, you've basically spent all day not doing your job, you better do it right tomorrow!" the man scolded the boy lightly but in a strong, fierce voice. The boy nodded as he ran into the mansion with his scythe lagging behind in his arm. The man sighed as he quickly tried to keep up with the young boy. Little to their knowledge did they know that the other blue gatekeeper was about to arrive in a matter of time.

Sorry, not too much Dee, really only referring to him. But I promise he'll be in the next chapter! This dialogue was planned/played out by two people, by me and the lovely Agrotera-Thanatos (Or as I like to call her, 'Elly/Newbie-hare' :'D). So I must thank her a LOT for helping me with this chapter! Hoped you guys enjoyed~!

R&R please!
