Author's Note: Sorry this took so long to get done; such a long wait was not my intention, my dear requester. This didn't turn out exactly how I wanted it to, but I hope everyone likes it. Please leave a review and tell me what you think. Don't forget readers, if you want to see how Nicky would interact with a role holder, faceless, or Alice, you can leave a request in a review. I will eventually get to it!
Oh and I don't own Joker/Clover/Heart/Diamond no Kuni no Alice, or and of the wonderful characters from the original game/manga/movie. I do own Nicky and Amelia.
At the Castle of Hearts, Peter was ecstatic. He had recently returned from searching all of Clover Country for Amelia, only to discover she was already at the castle for a visit. His clock ticked and tocked at such an alarming rate as he hopped, more like sored, through the heart themed halls. He felt it to be far too long since their last meeting. When he reached the throne room, he couldn't contain his excitement any longer and slammed the doors open.
"Amelia, my sweet, to see you again is such a trea—" Peter's stream of endearment was cut off by a rather harsh punch to the throat, only seconds after he opened the door to Vivaldi's throne room.
"Rejected, you fucking pedophile," said Nicky in the most deadpanned voice imaginable. Amelia (from her perch on a card soldier's shoulders) and Vivaldi watch the scene before them, highly amused. It's not the first time this particular interaction has taken place, and they know it sure won't be the last. Nicky and Peter had an almost instant detestation between them, after speaking face to face of course. Nicky thought Peter was a pedophile with attachment issues; Peter thought Nicky was a barbarian with an attitude problem. They also didn't like the other's closeness to Amelia, lead to too many conflicts of interests.
Anyways, the three females were preparing to retreat to the rose gardens for tea before the sudden interruption. Being that Vivaldi's strong will appeals to Nicky, and vice versa, the two were on relatively good terms. The only condition, that Amelia begged Nicky to abide by before she even met the queen, was that Nicky should at least try to behave properly around the other woman. So, only because Amelia guilt tripped her into it, she does her best. Nicky has no clue how lucky she is that the queen finds her harsh treatment of Wonderland's male population to be amusing, not to mention highly deserved, and that Vivaldi does not mind the crude language, as long as it's aimed at said population and not during private conversations or her tea parties.
After Peter recovered from the blow, he stood at his full height before Nicky in anger. He glared down at the smirking woman, who was only a very few inches shorter and unintimidated by the rabbit man. In his anger he practically screamed, "You insufferable cad, are you positively mad? How dare you strike me?! I should kill thee!"
"Blah, blah, blah! Learn to shut the fuck up and stop bitching, you pussy assed bitch." Nicky's smirk widened seeing Peter face burn in anger. She knew Peter wouldn't do anything, as long as Amelia was present. Peter would have shot her dead loooong ago if it wasn't for Amelia's strong attachment to Nicky. The little girl made it clear that she would never forgive him if he hurt Nicky; she actually said she would hate him forever if he did. As much as Peter disliked Nicky, the possibility of Amelia hating him made him want to tear out his own clock. So he tried his best to keep his trigger figure in check.
"You tactless wretch, your presence is as peasant as a foul stench!"
"Well, at least I'm not a fucking pansy. Honestly, who the hell has a damn panic attack over a smudge of dirt?!"
"How dare you?! How I wish to render you black and blue!"
"If it's a fight you want, Cottontail, I dare you to fucking bring it! I'll make you my bitch!" Sensing the exaltation of things, Amelia decided she needed to do something to prevent someone from dying, or at least blood for spilling. She was in too good of a mood to have a panic attack. Jumping from her moving seat (the poor soldier had accepted his new role long ago), she ran over to the squabbling adults. She tugged on Peter's coat to get his attention.
"Hey, Peter, can I hold your pocket watch?" At Amelia's seemingly innocent request, Peter gushed like an overzealous parent with a complex. With no hesitation, he handed his watch over to her, which also meant he handed over his gun, which happened to be his only weapon. Nicky and Vivaldi smirked at the child's cunningness. They were so proud!
With the watch, Amelia ran back to her moving seat and stopped in front of him. At the sight of her pointing to the ground expectantly, the card lowered himself on his knees and crouched down low (she had him trained so well). Smiling, the little girl climbed back on her seat's shoulders and held on as he stood up to his full height, which was over six and a half feet (he was the tallest soldier in the palace, making him the perfect candidate for her seat). Vivaldi admired the child's use of her cuteness to control others. Nicky just smirked in pride.
"Okay, now you two can fight!" Peter was confused before he realized what Amelia just did. He blushed and started praising the child for being a little genius.
"Oh, Amelia, that was very clever of you! How impressed I am, you have no clue!" Nicky rolled her eyes at the theatrics. Never in her life has she met someone so over the top, and she's met a LOT of people. While the rabbit man continued his praise, Nicky looked around for something to hit him with. Oh how she wished they were in the kitchen. There are so many useful weapons in that room. Then she noticed the potted plant by the wall and smirked. It'll have to do.
Quietly walking over to the plant, Nicky looked at Vivaldi and saw she was growing increasingly annoyed with Peter as well. Waving her hand, she got the queen's attention. Smirking, Nicky pointed between the potted plant and the excited Peter a few times. When Vivaldi raised a delicate eyebrow in confusion, Nicky pointed at the pot and started making a throwing motion aimed at Peter. At Vivaldi's disapproving look, Nicky silently begged the woman by placing her hands in a preying fashion in front of her face and over dramatically mouthing the word please, which earned an amused chuckle and a nod of approval. Fist pumping, Nicky hurried to grab a generous handful of soil from the pot. She wouldn't throw the pot itself, it looked VERY expensive, and it was just a tad too big for her to lift.
Sharing one last smirk with Vivaldi, Nicky set up for the pitch. She took aim and, just like a professional baseball player, threw the ball of soil at Peter. Hearing rapid movement of wind behind him, Peter turned his head to see what it was. He had no time to even think to dodge. The soil, which would have smashed into the back of Peter's head, hit him square in the face, almost immediately after he turned around. The worst part being, some of it got in his mouth. Peter started freaking out and spitting out clumps of dirt. Nicky fell to the floor laughing.
"GERMS! THERE ARE GERMS ALL OVER ME! I WILL END YOU, JUST WAIT AND SEE!"
"Ooooh the big bad bunny is mad. Yeah, I'm so fucking scared right now," Nicky said, finished laughing and, letting out a sigh, wiped tears from her eyes.
"You are insufferable! Of decency are you incapable?!" Peter wanted to mangle the woman.
"Calm your tits, dumdass." Nicky smirked as she heard Amelia chuckled.
"You vulgar woman, from you, civilized manures ran!" Everyone had to agree with Peter a little on that one, hell even Nicky agreed. But, she didn't care. All she wanted to do was ruffle his feathers, or would it be fur? Eh~ it doesn't matter, the point's clear.
"And from you fucker, every damn woman ran." Vivaldi and Amelia snickered a little there, while the card soldier politely coughed in his hand, remembering Alice's treatment of Peter and who she ended up with. Peter just wished he had his gun back.
"It's not a wonder you are so despised here," Nicky didn't even flinch, "you're too vial for anyone to want to be near." Nicky hummed at what Peter said, nodding her head. She looked up at him.
"Hey Peter, I've got a little rhyme for you to." He raised an eyebrow at Nicky. "Roses are red, violets are blue, I have five fingers and this one's for you." She then proceeded to flip him the bird. Peter's right ear and eye twitched.
"That's enough now White." he looked insulted that he was the only one addressed. "We would like to have our tea party with our guests." Gliding to the door, Vivaldi motioned towards the two other females, and the moving seat, to follow her. Peter just stood red faced as Nicky throw him one last smirk before following the queen, while accepting an offered cloth to wipe off her hands from a random maid that no one originally noticed. After the baker was out the door, Amelia handed Peter back his clock as her moving seat walked past him.
"Don't take what she says to heart, Peter." The rabbit man looks at the smiling child. "Nicky's really nice once you get to know her! Heh~ just give her a chance. I'm really, really sure you two could become friends!" With one last big reassuring smile to Peter, Amelia motions for her seat to start moving again. The rabbit just started gushing over the little girl's cuteness again, not noticing the sly smirk that crossed her face when it was out of his sight.
Amelia knew there was little to no chance of Nicky and Peter getting along, EVER. She just hoped that, with the right nudges, she could watch more entertaining interactions between to two. And, if by some miracle, Peter happened to fall for Nicky, Amelia knew she was going to need a front row seat to Nicky fending off a love struck Peter. The little girl cackled evilly in her head as she was carried to the castle's garden to have tea with Nicky and Vivaldi; no one being the wiser to her scheming.
I would like to repeat, feel free to make requests. As you can see, I will do my best to complete them.
