Hey guys! I'm alive! :D And I'm sorry I didn't update earlier... ;_; I feel horrible..

Oh, and I might make a manga of this! (More like a fan-art, but whatevs...) I'll post it on my blog~~ But I'm not too sure if I'm gonna do it... I would love to see one of my readers do it! Just inform me, or something... I don't want my stuff to get stolen... NOT THAT I SUSPECT MY READERS OR ANYTHING.

Ohmygod, I'll just let you guys read the damn fanfic already...

(Oh, and Elizabeta's got a new nickname... heh.. "Ellie" sounded so girlsh, and didn't really fit her character.. Please don't feel upset if your name/nickname is Ellie... _ It's a great name, but it just didn't really suit her character..)

JUST READ THE FANFIC ALREADY.

I woke up and felt this great pain in my stomach. I looked around and found Liz and Alfred asleep, sitting on the floor and leaning over the edge of my bed. Their eyes were swollen and they were both holding my hand.

I sat up in bed and- "OWW HOLY FUCK-SHIT!" I yelped and fell down on the bed again. I started to coldsweat and I felt dizzy. I closed my eyes and took a few deep breaths.

"..Huh?" I heard Alfred say. He was blinking and looking around. I guess he just woke up. Then he flinched and quickly turned his head around to face me. Our eyes met and we stared at each other for a few seconds.

"ARTHUR!" he suddenly shouted and woke up Liz. "Liz! Wake up, woman! Arthur's alive!" he started to shake the light brown-haired girl like crazy. "Uhhh..." she groaned. Then she popped her eyes wide open and also shouted "ARTHUR!" and the two of them were staring at me now. The room was awfully quiet.

"Yes, yes. I am alive." I said. It didn't really hurt to talk, but it hurt a bit to inhale and exhale oxygen. "...what happened after I fell asleep?" I asked. Seriously, I feel like I've slept for ages.

"Well, Alfred came back when I was washing your uniform and he had bought a few first-aid kits. We cleaned your wound and wrapped it up. Later on, we took you to the nurse and she was..." Liz paused and looked at Alfred. "Heh, she freaked out pretty much." she chuckled. "I said you tripped and fell on something sharp and that you needed help. She helped us to take care of your wounds and it went well. She even praised me for my work!" Liz grinned. "If I hadn't taken care of you, you would have... uhmm..." she trailed off. "Anyways, you need to rest. The nurse said that it would take a few weeks before you should be walking around again." Liz said, a bit more serious. "Oh, and you slept for like 12 hours. It's Friday, 8 pm right now." she added and pointed at the clock.

"Okay... Wait, what about the group that ganged up on me?" I asked. I really wonder what happened...

"Oh, I took care of them!" Alfred grinned. "I called a teacher and she wasn't surprised. She have been keeping an eye on those guys, actually. They've started a few fights before, and they won every single one of them. When she asked who was responsible for this, I just said that the gang started to argue about something and they took each other out. She believed it, and called the police. They're now explelled!" He said happily. "But, dude, why didn't you fight back when you were that strong? You didn't have to get stabbed! And why didn't you let us help you?" I could hear his pride was hurt.

"Calm down." I started. "Look, I waited for them to attack me on purpose. I can't just hit them like that for no reason. They have to hit me first before I can attack them. Then I can fight back." I paused. "It's called self-defense." I said and grinned. "If the police hear the truth, I can just say that it was self-defense. Then the gang would probably go to jail for ganging up on me, and I'll just sue them." I explained. "Plus, their punches didn't even hurt." I added.

"But they were the ones who started the fight!" Alfred shouted, frustrated. "And what do you mean, 'their punches didn't hurt'? You got stabbed and almost died due bloodloss!" he kept scolding me. Liz interupted a few times with "Now, now, Alfred..." and "Well, at least he didn't die, right?".

Then the thought hit me. They still thought I was a guy? Liz told me she knew I was a girl, if I remember correctly... And Alfred saw...me. With almost no bandage on my chest. Anyone would have figured it out by now. Whatever. I'll just tell them later...

"So. I want to take a shower." I said. Liz and Alfred completely stopped talking. They looked at me as if I was crazy. "What?" I asked. My body felt sticky from all the sweat during the fight. And I needed to stop neglecting my hair.

"Arthur, did you listen to what Liz told you? You can't walk around too much. Your wound's going to open up." Alfred said. I sighed and looked at Liz. She nodded as if she understood what I wanted.

"No worries, I'll help him." Liz replied with a smile. She stood up and dragged Alfred's cardigan. "You help him up." she demanded.

"...fine.." he said before he carefully slid his arms under my legs and my back. "On three, 'kay?" he warned. I took a deep breath just before he counted to three, and he lifted me up.

It hurt so bad. I shut my eyes and it felt like the wound was on fire. So I let out the most girlish scream I've ever heard.

I opened my eyes to see Alfred stand there, wide opened eyes and staring at me with a surprised face. Liz was watching too, and she was also surprised.

"..Hurry...up.. you git..." I panted and grabbed Alfred's shirt. I was holding it so tightly my fist went white. "...please..." I said as I could feel the cold-sweat on my forehead.

"O-oh... R-right.." he blushed and rushed with me in his arms to Liz, who was already preparing towels and stuff. "H-hey, Liz, how're we gonna do..?" he said, a bit anxious.

"Don't worry," she replied with a calm voice. "I'll take care of it. Just put Arthur on the stool there, under the shower and wait outside while I help him." she pointed at a rather big footstool under the shower.

"Hang in there, buddy." He said before he placed me on the stool. I groaned a bit, but I didn't cry. "Th...thanks..." I panted and gave him a weak smile. He blushed as he called for Liz to come in. He gave me a last glance before he went outside.

"Time for some girls-talk~" Liz said before she entered the bathroom with towels and what-not at the ready. She locked the door and started to take my clothes off, which only was a big shirt that covered almost my whole body.

"So..." I started. "..how did you know that I'm a girl?" I asked while she was taking off the bandage on my stomach.

"Hm, I don't know... But I knew it right away when I saw you. Maybe it's a woman's instinct?" she chuckled. "Well, I suppose you can manage on your own now, right? Oh, and be careful with the hot water. It'll hurt really bad if it gets any on your wound. So don't shower in too hot water, okay?" she smiled. "And I'll put your clothes here." she pointed at a neat pile of clothes and went outside.

"Thanks!" I shouted through the bathroom and took my wig off. My blond hair fell down to my waist and stared at my wound in the mirror. It was kinda pink-ish, and well... It looked like one of those wounds from a movie. I went into the shower and turned the water on and washed my hair. I accidently got some shampoo on the wound and let out a shout. "HOLY BLOOD-FUCK SHAMPOO HURTS!" I complained. I could hear Liz and Alfred laughed their asses off. I was laughing too and the wound didn't hurt anymore.

When I was finished, I wiped myself with a towel and squeezed out most of the water from my hair. Then I wrapped my wound with some bandage I found in the first aid-kit. I looked in the mirror again and saw a whole new, different person. I looked at the pile of clothes on the floor. I saw a pair of panties, a camisole and... wait, is that a... nightgown?

Oh my god, it was the girliest thing I've ever seen.

It was a pink silk dress with loads and loads of small white ribbons. The straps were decorated with another shit-load of ribbons. The dress itself wasn't that long. It probably reached to my tighs.

"WHAT THE BLEEDING FUCKERY?" I shouted and totally freaked out. Liz was laughing so hard right now and I bet Alfred was so confused.

I didn't really want Alfred to see me in only panties and a camisole, so I had no choice. I put the girly thing on and glared at myself in the mirror. I looked like a ridiculus barbie. A blond, emerald-eyed barbie with a fluffy, girly nightgown. Shit. Liz is going to pay for this.

I opened the door and stomped out of the bathroom. The aura around me was dark and suffocating. "Liiiiiiiiizzzzzzzzz..." I hissed. Alfred was sitting on his bed and Liz on mine. I stood a few meter from the beds, so they could see me clearly.

Both of them dropped the things they were holding and stared at me with "OMG"-ish eyes.

I pointed at the nightgown I was wearing. "What'sssss the meaning of thisssssssss...?" I hissed and made the "mad man"-look. Then I remembered... They've never seen me like this. As a girl with long silky blond hair and girly clothes, I mean.

The wound didn't hurt so much anymore, so I kept standing there while I explained;

"Okay. Listen. As you guys may have noticed, I'm a girl." I said without the british accent for once. God, that's relieving. I saw Alfred was blushing and staring at me as if he couldn't believe his eyes.

"What?" I asked.

"S-s-sorry... Uhm... " he stuttered and looked away.

I crossed my arms and glared at Liz. "You..." I said and dragged in the nightgown. "...you made me wear thissssss..." I hissed before I attacked her. And by "attacking her", I meant tickling her. I ignored the small pain coming from my stomach and kept playing with her. When I felt like I've punished her enough, I stopped and poofed down on bed beside her. The three of us were quiet.

"So, uhm... You're a girl." Alfred said and blushed. I nodded.

"But... Your name can't be Arthur then, can it...?" he hesitated and looked away.

"Oh that's right. So we've been calling you by the wrong name the entire time!" Liz continued. "And we're best friends!" she looked at me with a sad look. I felt really bad for the two of them. I stood up and started to presentate myself.

"Let's start over." I suggested. "My name is Alice Kirkland. Not Arthur. But you can keep calling me that if you want." I smiled and looked at Alfred. He flinched and blushed even more.

"But... Why are you doing this..?" Liz asked with a puzzled face.

"I didn't want an ordinary life. So I just dressed myself as a guy. It worked pretty well, right? I grinned. Liz and Alfred were staring at me, now with "WTF"-looks.

"So you did this just 'cause you were bored." Alfred repeated for himself. He was looking down with a face that practically screamed 'she did that because she was bored?'.

"Anyways, Alice." Liz emphasized on the 'Alice'. "How are you gonna do this from now on? Are you going to keep the disguise?" she asked, curious.

"Oh yes, I will. There's no turning back now after all. And I'm used to it, so I don't really mind." I replied casually. I glanced at Alfred. He was still blushing and avoided eye contact with me.

"Alfred." I said.

"AH- Y-Y-YES?"

Oh god. Is he going to be like this forever?

I started to walk towards him, as he kept watching me with wide eyes. He was laying on his bed, and I stopped when I stood just by the side of the bed. I leaned forwards and smiled. He looked at me with confused eyes end was still blushing.

"..Wh-what..?" He said and gulped. I showed him my fist and his eyes went wide. He started to slowly shake his head.

"Nonononono... NO! DON'T-" he shouted before I punched him hard in his stomach. He groaned and curled up into a ball.

"Stop being so awkward around me! So what if I'm a girl? I'm still the same person, y'know!" I scolded him. "Just belt up, bastar- argh-!" I gasped at the last sentence and fell over him. My wound started to hurt again. "Owww...shit.." I murmured.

"H-hey, Arthu-Alice- Uhmm... Hey you alright?" Alfred panicked.

"...Alice..." I whispered and panted. Alfred hear that, and blushed a bit. "Okay. Alice it is." he replied.

"Hey, what's going on?" Liz said. She was sitting on my bed and watched the two of us fight when I suddenly collapsed over Alfred. Anyone would react to that.

"I-I don't know. I think it's her wound." Alfred said, a bit calmer and flipped me over on my back. "Shit, I think it opened..." he cursed when he saw the red stain on my gown.

"WHAT. IT DID WHAT?" Liz shouted before she flung herself from my bed and pushed aside Alfred. She flapped up the silk-gown so my stomach -and panties- were showing. Alfred saw it, and blushed once again. "Alfred! Go get some water and towels!" Liz shouted. She didn't really seem to care that I was half-naked in front of a male-best-friend. "Oh- Uhm- 'kay! B-b-be right back!" he said rushed to the bathroom.

I was laying on Alfred's bed, trying to take deep breaths.

"I told you not to move around too much!" Liz lectured me. "Look, now you opened your wound again!" She sighed and started to remove the bandage. I grinned and let out another groan. "You alright?" she worried. "Uhh." I nodded my head. Then I pointed at the blanket and waited for Liz's response. She looked at me with questionmarks in her eyes. "What do you- oh." she said when she saw that I only had panties on. She smiled and took the blanket to cover my legs, including my panties. "Better?" she said and chuckled when I grinned back.

Alfred came back and wasn't blushing anymore. He was... Normal. He wasn't even awkward when I talked to him. Finally. Or else I'd seriously hit him again.

When Liz was done bandaging me it was already 10 pm. Liz wanted to sleep, so she went back to her room. We said goodbye to her and I changed to another t-shirt. Seriously, I've changed clothes like 3 times today.

"Hey, Al." I said when I was finished. I didn't have my british accent or my "man voice". I was just me. "Whazzup?" he replied casually and looked up from his iPod. I think he was playing 'fruit ninja'. "You seem really calm about me being a girl. What happened those minutes when were you sent to get water and towels?" I asked and sat on my bed. I had a baggy t-shirt with the UK flag printed on it and a pair of black hotpants. Typical pajamas.

"Uh. Dunno. A hero have to stay calm, I guess?" he casually said. "Anyways, I always thought you somehow reminded me of a girl, or something." He said and rolled over to face me. "And besides, you're still you, so gender dosen't really matter." he said and gave a big smile. I grinned back. "Good!" I said and fell down on my bed. I stared at the roof for a few seconds. Alfred was looking at me, waiting for me to say something.

"I'm bored..." I said and sat up. Then I got an idea. "Hey, let's watch horror movies!" I suddenly suggested. "It's Friday after all, so we can stay up how long we want!" I said before I went to get my laptop. I noticed Alfred didn't say anything. "What? You don't like horror movies?" I asked as I started my laptop.

"Err... Well, yeah I do.. But.." he hesitated. "But! A hero must be ready for anything! So I'll accept the challenge!" He said and put his fist on this chest and banked. "Come at me bro!" he grinned. We both started to laugh. I stopped after a while. The wound hurt a bit.

I had a few movies on my laptop, actually. And most of them were horror movies. "Hey, which one do you wanna watch?" I said and motioned him to sit beside me on my bed. He did, and we both looked at the screen. After a while, we finally found one. It was 'the scariest movie of all time', the description said. It was called... 'Paranormal Activity'. We watched it, and it was scary. It made me shit bricks. Oh my god.

We sat on my bed and stared at the screen as we saw a creature come closer... and closer... I clinged myself to Alfred and he was as scared as me. Maybe even more scared, because he was holding my hand really hard. And he had that really scared face. I finally let out a sigh when the movie ended.

"Oh my god. That was the. Scariest. Shit. I've ever seen." I sat up in bed and stretched. "Oh well, I'm gonna go brush my teeth first." I was just about to walk to bathroom, when someone tugged my shirt. I stopped for a second and turned around with a smirk. "...What is it~~? You scared~~?" I teased and ruffled the american in his hair. "Wh-wh- No! I'm not! I'm just..." he said with a flustered face. I saw his hand was shaking. Aww...

"Oh well, you better go brush your teeth too." I said and dragged him up from my bed. "And I'm a bit scared as well. I mean, all the mirrors and stuff. It freaks me out." I lied. I wasn't really that scared. But still, the large mirror did scare me a bit..

"Liar." Alfred pouted. "But... I'll go.." he mumbled and walked right behind me to the bathroom. We stood there and brushed our teeth in front of the mirror. Alfred was holding my hand now, instead of tugging my shirt..

"Al, you can let go of my hand now-"

"No."

I sighed and kept brushing. When the two of us were finished, we went to our own beds. I was just about to fall asleep when I noticed Alfred still was awake. "Hey Al, you still can't sleep?" I said and sat up in my bed and turned on the lamp on the nightsand.

"Yeah." I heard a muffled reply from him. He had his head in his pillow and was probably so scared he couldn't sleep.

"Well, can't be helped then." I sighed and went up from my bed. "Move over." I said and went under his covers. "What are you doing?" He whispered and blushed. "You're scared, right? My mom always went to sleep with me if I was scared." I turned around and faced him. "And besides, I'm cold. It's warmer this way." I said and shut my eyes. Alfred didn't say anything. All I could hear was our breaths and in the end, Alfred's breaths started to slow down and he fell asleep. I was happy, because I was useful for once. He has done a lot for me. And Liz too. I should think of some way to thank them, I thought before I turned the lamp off and fell asleep.

Morning

I woke up to the sound of heartbeats. ...what.

I opened my eyes to find out that I was sleeping in Alfred's arms. And I was hugging him too. His arms were just a bit were heavy, but warm. And it felt really nice... I shut my eyes and took a deep breath. He smelled like tea. Maybe it was Earl Grey... It was really cozy and warm.

"Hey Alice, you awake?" Alfred suddenly said. I flinched and looked up at him. He was awake and looking at me with clear eyes. He's been awake...the whole time? This is the first time I've seen him without his glasses this close.

"Yeah. How long have you been awake?" I asked casually and yawned. I let go of him and stretched. "A while. The past 30 minutes, actually." he answered and I glanced at the clock.

"And you decided to not wake me up?" I said and smirked. "Well, I didn't have any nightmares, so I won't complain. Did you?" I said and went up from his bed. "No, actually not. I didn't really dream anything, I think." he said and put his glasses on. "But you gotta admit, the movie was so scary." he chuckled. "Yeah." I answered and went inside the bathroom to put my wig on. I changed to guy clothes while I was at it. Alfred stared at me when I was finished. "Wow, how do you do that? There's such a big difference!" he said and pointed at me.

"I dunno, maybe it's the wig?" I said and took up my phone to text Liz.

"Let's call Liz over and discuss some plans. I wanna go to that arcade you were talking about." I suggested and waited for his response. "Yeah, You text her and I'll just go take a shower." he said and went inside the bathroom. "What time is it?" he shouted from the bathroom. "11:40!" I shouted back. Then I started to text Liz.

[When are we gonna go to the arcade? :D ]

[Sorry. You guys have to go there without me. :C I've catched a cold... ]

[Nooo... It won't be as fun without you. :( ]

[Aw, but seriously. I'm very sick and I really don't wanna pass the cold on to you or Al. So you guys just have fun without me, ok? :3 ]

[..ok..]

"Hey Al!" I shouted and put my phone down. "Just a second!" he shouted back before I heard him come out of the shower. "Wazzup?" he said and wiped his neck with a towel. He had pants on, of course.

"Liz catched a cold." I sighed. I gave a "Nothing we can do about it"-look.

"What? No!" he answered. "Aww, I hope it's nothing serious.." he said and ruffled his hair with the towel.

"So I guess there's just gonna be the two of us then~" I said and grinned. "We better win a plushie or something for her!" I said. "It's gonna be fun!" I fist-bumped him. "Yeah!" he said and put his glasses on. "Hey, you going there as a girl or a guy?" Alfred asked casually. "Hmm.. I guess I'll just be a girl today, for a change." I said and went to my bags and found my bra, black skirt with hot-pink frills and my rock band t-shirt. I had these clothes with me, just in case someone found out. I took off my wig and went inside the bathroom to change.

Ready to go.
