Hello! Sorry about the lack of updating. I am currently reading the Joker series vol. 5! (I also finished it too). So that's one of the reason that I hadn't upload anything, for the past... I don't know.. About 20-30 days? I kinda got sad too while reading it so I couldn't bear to write anything! Plus thank you for the people who read the first one! I never expected that anyone would read it! I was bursting with joy! Thank you! Anyway back to the story!

Days later...
"Alice! The ball it's almost here!"
Boris ran up to her. Walking by her side in the amusement park. Alice smiled, "why would that even matter to you?"
"Huh? Oh! I was just wondering, if..." Boris bit his lip, "can you come to the ball with me?" He smiled nervously, his tail swayed back and forth.
Alice sighed. She should go but... The memory of Peter popped up in the mind. She shook it away. If she went to the ball, she'll have to face Peter. Whatever I'll just have to avoid bumping into him.
"Well?" Boris said impatiently.
"I guess-...?" Alice stammered.
"Then it's a date!" Boris yelled happily, bringing her into a hug.
Alice blushed. "Wha-? I never said it was a date!"
"Well I say it is, and nothing is going to change that!" He smiled gullibly.
"AGGGGHHHH! Why did you pull my tail for?" Boris screamed with pain, holding his tail tightly against his chest.
"I can't help it!" Alice giggled, "it's waiting to be pulled! Plus I didn't agreed to dance with you yet!"
He ignore her, and looked at her dress up and down, placing his hand on his chin, thinking out loud, "Well then... We're gonna have to change the dress of yours, if you're going with me to the ball..."
In the Castle of Hearts...
"Hurry fools! It's almost time for the ball!" Vivaldi screeched, as the faceless maids slowly set up the tables.
"My Queen... Ummm... Shouldn't you let them have a break at least? They've been working for more than three days!" The king said nervously as he watched one of maids fell to the ground with exhaustion.
"Off with her head!" Vivaldi screamed pointing at the exhausted maid. "Shut up you old fool! We've been waiting for them for too long! Where is that blasted rabbit?" She questioned.
"I think he's in his office..." The King shuddered as Vivaldi gave him a cold look.
"Why didn't you summoned him?" She said in low, dark voice. The King took a step back.
"He was going to shoot me.." He said quietly in a very small voice.
Vivaldi looked at the King coldly, and smiled, "go fetch him or we will be the one who'll kill you."
"Y-Yes my Queen." He ran off as fast as he could for his precious life.
Vivaldi sighed. That pathetic rabbit, he's back to his old self. He is no longer in love with Alice, instead he hates her, with even more hatred than the rest of the role holders. It would be pretty entertaining to see him fight with Alice. She smiled. Yes it would.
Peter growled, staring at himself in the mirror. How dare that woman! Forcing me to wear this, when I have no intention to dance in the ball! His hands curled up into a ball. Even when it means to see Her there too. He grabbed his gun and pointed at the mirror, as he pulled the trigger. The glass shattered all over on the ground.
"White! Come out here this instant!" Vivaldi screeched just as she heard the gunshot.
Turning the gun back into a clock, he opened the door knob, revealing himself in the suit, that unfortunately Vivaldi forced him to wear.
Vivaldi's face brightens, "it's perfect, isn't it." She looked over her shoulder. The two faceless maid nodded, nervously,"it is!" One of them said, bringing herself into a forced smile, "so perfect" said the other, nodding her head.
"See! We told you!" Vivaldi grinned at Peter. "Alice will love it!"
"I told you that I no longer love her! I hate her! And this suit as well!" Peter turned back to the changing rooms.
"If you take the suit off, it will be off with your head as well!" Vivaldi warned.
He turned around facing at her, his ear twitched, "why would you force me into this?!" Vivaldi never seemed to care what he choose to wear in the ball.
"Ha! We have our own fun! See you at the ball, White!" Vivaldi turned, with the two faceless maids scurrying behind her, carrying bundles of clothing.
That old fool.
He clenched onto his clock. His face burning with anger. What is she planning!
The scent of roses filled the air, the wind blew gently along the trees. Alice sighed with admiration, ahhhh, it's so beautiful! Holding her hand, Boris looked as if he want to escape.
"Why can't we go somewhere fun!" He whined, crossing his arms against his chest.
"It's is fun! It's calm, and beautiful, and besides you can't miss this event!" She smiled dreamily into Boris' eyes. He smiled, but he quickly turned it into a frown. He peered over her shoulder. He cursed silently.
"Aghhh! I was hoping this walk would be longer!" He said once he saw the castle.
"Stop complaining, and let's go!" She pulled him by his tail, stomping on the ground, as Boris tried to run on the other way.
...
"Alice! You're here! And you brought the cat with you as well!" Vivaldi greeted them into the castle. She stopped smiling just as she saw Boris holding her hand. "He came as a date." She muttered darkly, "he will ruined our fun." She snatched Alice's right hand. "Cheshire Cat, we shall have her hand tonight!"
"Oh hell no! I didn't even dance her yet!" Boris grabbed Alice left hand, pulling her closer to him. Vivaldi glared at him darkly, "it's our dance, is it not? Don't you dare force us to cut off your head!" She hissed.
Boris let go of Alice defeated. "Damn! Alice, next time lets go on a funner date than this one!" He waved his hand goodbye to Alice, and disappeared.
"Come we must go!" Vivaldi pulled her into the crowd. "Sorry!" Alice called out apologetically, as she stomped on a stranger's foot. Vivaldi, where are you bringing me?! Alice thought annoyed, until finally they came upon an unoccupied table with two steaming cups of tea.
"Sit! Sit! We must discuss!" Vivaldi sipped on her tea, looking at Alice, her eyes full with amusement. Oh we're just having tea! Alice thought as she gladly sat down. Her heart dropped just as she took a sip of her tea. Peter stood there, his arms crossed, his face is blushing brightly red.
What is he even wearing?
Vivaldi noticed her staring at Peter, her lips curl into a smile. "Alice," she placed her cup down,"tonight you must dance with Minister White."
"What!" Peter was the first to protest. His face whitened, paler than ever, as he looked straight at Vivaldi with terror. "I refuse to dance with her!"
Alice stood up, pound her fist against the table,"yeah me neither!"
Vivaldi's smile widen, "Peter, you will be executed, and Alice, tons of maids and soldiers will be executed as well. But that could change, only if you both agreed to dance together." Vivaldi sipped on her tea, "do we have a deal?" Peter gave Alice a death stare,"fine," he muttered, "follow me Alice." He went past Alice, heading towards the ball room.
*ahem* "I believe you'll have to hold her arm." Vivaldi calmly stated.
Peter's face turned red. He grabbed Alice's arm, and looked away shuddering. I can't believe that old hag set me up!
Alice looked shock, staring at Vivaldi, her body trembled, "Vivaldi, why would do this to me!" She pouted, sticking out her bottom lip.
Vivaldi looked at her innocently, "we are bored by these usual ball routines! Go on already!" She pushed them away from her table, " and don't you dare separate either!" She hissed.
Peter looked across the ballroom. People are dancing, with big smiles with their faces, enjoying the night. But he is (and Alice) not smiling. Course why would he be when he's being forced to spend the most dreadful night with the-one-who-shall-not-be-named (a.k.a. Alice). He sighed, as he let go of Alice's hand. But right just as he let go, he saw Vivaldi burning with rage, as she slammed her tea cup onto the ground. He quickly grasped on her hand again.
"I suppose I'll have to dance with the woman I now hate." He murmured under his breath.
Alice's face is flushed with anger. "I heard that! Don't treat me as a criminal!"
He glared down right at her, his hands slowly went towards to his clock. Stop. Don't kill her. Too late. He snatched his clock, which suddenly transformed into a gun, and aimed it right at her. Alice turned pale. The music stopped all the sudden. Everyone stopped dancing, once they heard the silence, and turned their heads around to see the what was happening.
Just shoot her! What are you waiting for?! Voices swarmed in his head as his hand trembled, pointing the gun at Alice. She hates you. She never loved you. She always hated you.
What can't I shoot her?
He lowered his gun in defeat. Turning it back into the clock, he awkwardly stepped away from Alice.
I can't.. I can't kill her... Part of me, still loves her. He turned around to leave, but once again just by seeing Vivaldi's burning rage, he quickly turned around to Alice. The music finally continued, and the guest, as well continued to dance, as if nothing had happened.
Placing his hand on her waist, he hold her hand. Alice, angrily placed her hand on his shoulder, and began dancing along the music.
Please make this end! They both screamed in their minds.
She's not a great dancer, unlike Peter, who doesn't seem to have a problem with dancing. She stumbled in a few steps. Her foot kept being misplaced in every step she took.
STOMP!
Her high heel shoe landed on Peter's polished, black shoes. "Mfgggggg!" Peter hold in the scream. A single tear fell down his cheek. "You did that on purpose!" He silently screamed through his teeth.
"No I didn't! But that serves you right!" Alice huffed.
"That's not fair."
"Huh, what do you mean by unfair...!"
Peter suddenly twirled her around, faster and faster. Unwilling to stop."Stop it Peter!" Alice screeched, I'm so dizzy. I'm gonna puke...
"As you say so!" Peter grinned.
He let go of her in a mid-twirl, and gave her a small push. "Ack!" Alice fell on the ground. The world seemed spin around her. The crowd around them gasped.
Peter stand there, triumphantly, grinning as an idiot. Oh you asked for it! Alice thought evilly.
She quickly grabbed his leg and pulled it forward with all her might. "Aghhh! Noooo!" Peter slipped, and fell to the ground back first. He laid there stunned.
All the germs and dust on the floor... Crawling... I need to get up! Now!
Alice saw his terrified, stunned face. Before he could get up, she jumped on top of him, pinning him to the ground.
"NOOO! The germs! Get off me! Please!" Peter begged to Alice, as he continued to squirm under her.
"I don't know... I don't really want to..." Alice said with a wicked grin, "you deserved to be punished!"
"NOOOO! Please!" Peter screamed uncontrollably, as Alice stayed there grinning evilly.
"Should we help the Prime Minister?" whispered one of the guest. "Nah, he totally deserves to be punished." a maid whisper back, "he always kills us for his amusement!"
"Besides it's our break!" Another replied.
"Hmm?" Elliot looked up from his carrot cake. "Is Peter White screaming?"
"Yeah! Dumb, Blonde Rabbit!" Dee and Dum replied together excitedly, "Big Sis is tackling him down!"
"I'm not a rabbit! How many times I have to tell you! I just have really long ears!" He growled at them.
"Brother, I'm bored! Let's ditched the blonde rabbit! Dum said to Dee. "I agree brother! Let's ditch him and go for big sis instead! Dee replied, nodding his head.
"You're not going anywhere!" Elliot grabbed both of them by their collar.
"Wah! You're no fun! Dee cried out.
"Elliot, let them go." Blood replied bored, sipping his tea. "What! Blood! They're going to escape!" Elliot protested.
"Let them go."
"Yeah, you dumb rabbit, let us go!" Dum shouted, kicking in the empty air.
"I want to see big sis!" Dee pouted, crossing his arms.
Elliot groaned, "fine! Whatever you say Blood." He finally let them go.
"Yeah we're free brother! Let's see big sis now!" Dum and Dee began to walk away.
"No you won't." Blood replied, as he sets down his cup. The bloody twins stopped right on their tracks.
"But why!"
He grinned, "it was just getting interesting." Dee and Dum sadly sat down on their seats.
"Uhhhh! The food isn't even good either! It's all made out of carrot!" Dee groaned. "It's all for the stupid rabbit!" Dum replied back.
"Why you little bastards...?!"
