Sorry I couldn't post up a New Years chapter. I had to go to a friends, then I went snowboarding the next day. Gomen! And I wanna thank XxxCupcakeLoverxxX for her OC and brilliant advice! If you are reading this thank you! And the truth behind what Nightmare said is here. So, on with the story~

Jasmine Smith walked down what looked to be a dirt road. The sides were lined with Weeping Willow trees. The scenery was quite beautiful. Jasmine had long, dark brown hair, and bright blue eyes. She was seventeen, and was quite a shy girl, but was very funny and joyful around her friends. Jasmine had heard from Plutia, that Alice was back in town. She set off to go see Alice immediately one she heard that she came back. As Jasmine walked down the road, she heard footsteps. Jasmine turned to her left, only to see Marshall and DJ emerging from the bushes. "Jasmine!" DJ said and ran over to her. "Hi DJ," She responded. She looked over at Marshall. Something about him always scared her. "Hi, Marshall," Jasmine said quietly. His gaze shifted over to Jasmine and nodded slightly. "DJ, let's go back to the house, Blaze and everyone else are worried," Marshall said. He turned to Jasmine. "I know you came to see Alice, but come at another time. Perhaps tomorrow. There is something we all need to address. I will tell her you wish to see her," He said. Jasmine nodded timidly. She was friends with everyone in their group, so she was quite friendly with them all. Except Marshall. Jasmine began on her way back to her home.

DJ and Marshall walked into the living room. Everyone was in there. Alice sat on the couch with Ravyn, Edith, Rose, and Eva, Aileen sat on her mothers lap. Levi was leaning on the right arm of the couch. Raziel was sitting in one of the chairs, reading, Desmond was sitting on another chair, his eyes closed. And Blaze was sitting on a small couch, his head in his hands. DJ cleared his throat loudly. Everyone looked up to see Marshall and DJ at the doorframe. Raziel looked up from his book, and Desmond's eyes opened slightly. Everything was quiet. Not a single breath could be heard. "DJ…" Blaze whispered. DJ met his eyes gingerly. "Hi," he whispered. Blaze shot up and held DJ in his arms.

"Why did you run off?"

Blaze whispered. DJ pulled his head out of his chest, and looked up at Blaze, who still held him. "W-well…" DJ started but was quickly cut off by Raziel. "This is a conversation for you two alone. So, I would suggest that you two go upstairs and settle this yourselves." Blaze looked at Raziel. "Fine." He grabbed DJ's hand and dragged him upstairs to his room. Everything was silent. Alice sighed. "Aileen, it's time for you to go to bed, you have been awake long enough." "But Mom-" "No. Come one," Alice stated. She lifted Aileen up and they went upstairs.

"Mom." Aileen asked while her mother was tucking her in. "Yes sweetie?" She responded. "Does Blaze love DJ?" Alice looked at her daughter. Alice had a sad look on her face. "…No…" She whispered. "Why?" Alice sighed and sat on her daughter's bed. "Because he loves me." "But don't you love Daddy?" Alice smiled sadly at the mention of Ace. "Yes, sweetie, I do." "Does he know that you love Daddy?" Alice laughed. "Of course, sweetheart." "Do you love Blaze?" Alice looked out her daughter's window. "In a different way." Aileen looked confused. "Sweetie, there are different types of love," Alice turned to her daughter. "Love comes in different forms. But it is still love. I love your father very much, but I also love others as well, in different ways." "So…you love Daddy romantically?" Aileen asked. "Yes, I do." Alice smiled. It was quiet for a while. Until… "Do…do you love Marshall?" Alice stopped. Her hands balled up into fists. Tears brimming at her eyes. Alice whispered something, an answer. But Aileen couldn't hear.

Wonderland~

Silence filled the land. Or Lands. The role-holders left the meeting and went to their respected territories. Dark ominous clouds started to fill the land. Nightmare watched from outside, glaring at the dark clouds. The memory of the meeting Nightmare held replayed in his head.

The role-holders were silent, so Nightmare began his speech. "I have called you all here to discuss the issue at hand. We have a problem. A rather large one at that. You see, Wonderland itself can only survive for a certain period of time without an Outsider, or Foreigner living inside of Wonderland. If an Outsider comes within a certain range of time, then Wonderland will maintain its balance. Now, when Alice came, she abided by the rules. She communicated and interacted with the roleholders, thus filling the vial and in the process make us fall in-love with her. But, when she filled the vial up, she had two options: Stay in Wonderland, or, go home. Alice chose to stay in Wonderland, and fell in love with Ace." Nightmare said, gesturing to Ace. "Now, this isn't a bad thing, but, if an Outsider does stay in Wonderland, they stay until they die. Now, Alice fell in love, stayed in Wonderland, got married, and had two children. This is completely fine, but Alice decided to leave Wonderland, after she decided to stay in Wonderland, which, is against the rules. She also took one of her children with her on her journey. Thus, she broke two rules in the process, yet no one knew she broke two rules. And since she did, Wonderland has found an error in its system." Nightmare was now looking out the window when he finished saying all this.

"What do you mean by, 'an error'?" Elliot asked.

"Alice broke a rule. Well, more then one. And Wonderland found that out, and since Wonderland found that error, everything needs to be… 'refreshed'." Nightmare explained. "When Wonderland does find an error, it sends the Jabberwocky to come and 'clean' up, everyone and thing in Wonderland, so it may start a new game. This only happens, one out of a million times. So, when I found this out, I called this emergency meeting. Now, if Alice were to return, all will be fine, but, she must bring her daughter, Aileen, back with her. But, if they don't come back, and the Jabberwocky has already started killing, then it shall kill Alice and her daughter as well. Although, it would be very simple if we could simply contact Alice, tell her this information and bring her back with Aileen. But the only way to contact her is if the Warden or I could figure out when she is in a state of slumber, or in an area similar to say the Tower, Dream Realm, Circus, or the Prison." ( :D There are places she goes to that are very similar.) Everyone was silent after Nightmare said that, everyone stayed silent. No one understood why this was happening. The Jabberwocky was already on its way, and there is only one way to stop him. Get Alice back.
