OCs I own


After the girls had strategized about tonight and tomorrow's plans, Amelie sprinted off, excited to whip up some fun with Natalya tonight. Hehehe let the games begin! Once she was back in the estate's lawn she calmly walked inside not worrying a tad of someone wanting to kick her out, since she was of course Alice's double. It was an easy access to get indoors. The little girl quickly raced up the stairs, avoiding some of the servants coming down in the same direction. Some of the servers went off balance carrying vases of flowers and wine glasses, but thankfully none was damaged or shattered. They turned their heads around figuring their young mistress was in the party spirit waiting for the night to come. Amelie remembered the directions that Toris had given her to where her room might be. Sure enough the girl found the double doors, opened them letting the pinkness consume and made Amelie a little queasy. She absolutely hated the color pink. I knew it Alice. Amelie had to get used to the color though she was amazed at the stuff that Alice got: toys, toys, and more toys. "Don't mind if I do Alice," Amelie smiled to herself and thought of a great game to play before party time. "But first tunes!" She found a big stereo on one of the storage units on the wall and turned on the radio.

"I'm strange and I like it. It's just the way I am.

I can't change, can't hide it. It's just the way I am.

Might as well get over it, don't try to understand.

I'm strange and I like it. It's just the way I am."

"Skye!" Amelie screamed softly, she didn't want to blow her cover. She would always remember that song that was on one of her cartoons that she watched when she was younger. The song was so her, like her own theme song. The little girl was jamming to the song, skipping a beat to the tune while she assembled her little game. The game was basically bowling with a twist. Alice had many dolls around and what better option to use them as pins. They could stand up properly without falling so it was the best choice. She lined the dolls up in a little pyramid that was front of a very big Barbie dream house. "O-Okay what to use as a ball? I would need something soft so I don't break anything," Amelie searched the room for a replacement for a 'ball'. What Alice had said about no sports was true. The room didn't have anything sports related like a 'ball'. "Oh maybe you!" Amelie came up to Alice's bed to find a stuff unicorn that popped the girl's interest. "You're Uni huh? Alice told me everything about you!" Amelie took the stuff animal in her hands and examined it closely. The overall shape looked round a tad, it might work. With his pink mane and golden horn, he was definitely Alice's. I'm talking to a stuffed animal. Oh boy. The girl shook her head and finally decided; mumbling to the toy, "Don't tell Alice." She took Uni and got herself situated for the game to finally begin.

Al was getting a little worried on why his precious little girl wasn't out yet for the party. He was practically pacing in the halls back and forth for his princess to be ready. Many limos and other automobiles were lining outside of the mansion so any moment now Alice should be done getting herself situated. Alfred could hear the front doors opening with guests coming inside. It felt so rude of him not to be able to greet his guests at that moment. With the American being impatient, he pulled Toris over to ask him why Alice wasn't out yet as he hadn't known that his baby girl had switched for the day with Amelie. "Miss Alice said she would be fashionably late an hour ago sir. I don't know what would be taking her so long," Toris slightly blushed of letting his boss down again. He was supposed to be the family butler to get things in tip top shape. This night was to have no mis-steps at all, no problems whatsoever. Alfred sighed and messed Toris' hair up as to show him he wasn't disappointed. He never was with Toris since he was the only one who could really bond with Alice ever since Alice's mother had passed away. Due to the fact that ever since then he was always busy, Toris always had time for Alice. "Don't look so disappointed dude. You can never let me down! Just go up to Alice's room and tell her it's time and let me know so I could escort her down okay?" Alfred took his leave and went to attend to the arrived guests.

"Y-Yes will do sir," Toris gave a slight smile and hurried over to Alice's room. Felix was leaning on the girl's door frame with a small frown but smiled when he saw Toris. "Tor-Tor! It's like been forever since I last saw you! Anyways! Like tell Alice to hurry will you? She won't let me do her hair!" He whined slightly. With a couple of knocks the butler provided, the girl did not respond. "A-Alice are you ready?" Both the butler and stylist placed their ears close on the doors hearing music. No wonder she couldn't hear them. "I have no choice then." With that said the butler opened the room to find the room in a complete mess. Stuff animals and toys were all over the place; even the music was blasting his ears including Felix's. "Like turn it down, my poor little ears can't take it!" Felix whined letting his hands cover up his ears to prevent anything going through.

"A-Alice what is going on in here?" Toris quickly ran to turn the stereo off. "U-Uh..nothing?" She said attempting to sound normal and not frightened. Amelie took the stuffed unicorn and hid it behind her back. They had a good game of bowling; they ended up with a seven/ten split, but overall it was fun. Toris, out of habit, took some of the toys to put away nicely sighing, "Alice I know you are not looking forward for tonight, but this is important for your father. Please get ready. Felix is not being patient you know," The butler pointed the door where Felix was standing. Amelie sighed and nodded as she did not want the jig to be up and looked towards Felix who was slightly annoyed, not by much. She smiled weakly towards him and looked back towards Toris, "Sorry Toris." The girl let her lower lip out since she was acting to play innocent.

"Very well. I expect you to be ready for the guests and your father would want to see you," Toris gave a smile and left Felix alone with Amelie for her beauty prep. Felix walked in with a gentle smile and walked towards Amelie, "So Alice, are you like ready for your beauty make over? Not that you're not like already cute and pretty but we gotta make you look better than that mean old Natalya chick!" He doesn't like her too! Sweet! Amelie was rocking on the balls of her feet that this was going to be a pleasant night. The happy thought just diminished of seeing the dress back on the bed. During her game she just had to hide it, just seeing it almost made her throw up. It was too girly, the sleeves themselves looked poofy, and overall just a 'no'. "Alice why was the dress under the bed?" Felix raised one of his brows at the little girl. "So that's where it was hiding. We were playing 'hide n seek' it won," Amelie gave one of her cocky smiles back further pushing the stylist's confusion. "But to answer your question I'm most certainly ready!" Amelie rushed over to the bed to put Uni back in his place and gave the unicorn a few pats as a farewell. Felix stared at her and already knew something was up but pretended like it was nothing, probably another sign of not wanting to go to the party. He picked the little girl up and placed her in a chair by her vanity so he could start styling her hair. During the time in the chair, her hair was being in twists and knots. The brush had to go through the extreme to untangle the wild hair. It gave Amelie a few grunts in pain to endure. Felix even gave a pale face when seeing her hair in a wreck when removing her baseball cap. Amelie couldn't take it anymore and muttered to herself softly, 'You owe me big time'. Yes Alice you owe me big. Gahhh. "Actually you owe me big time missy. I know you're not Alice," Felix said humming as he kept styling the girls hair." Wah Wh-hat!? Do something Am! He can't know! Amelie gave herself a few seconds to herself to get Felix off the busting. "W-what do you mean? I am Alice Jones," Amelie stuttered with her best English accent. All those years of mocking Arthur's dialect worked to a charm. Arthur would've been so proud of her. Felix shook his head with a smile and placed a pin her hair, making sure not to touch the cow lick she had. "Even though you like sound like her, that doesn't mean I can't tell you two apart honey. It's not obvious. Ever since I was styling her hair I know every little detail about her, mostly since Toris is my special friend and I know that Alice loves getting pampered. You on the other hand prefer to stay normal and have a tom boy style. Am I correct?" He said in a way that no one would ever guess the cross-dressing male would ever speak. He always spoke like a very clueless male but this time he spoke with wisdom in his voice. "W-what are you gonna do to me?" Amelie turned around in her chair hoping the flashy stylist wouldn't bust her out.

Felix just smiled at the girl, gently turned her head around, and kept continuing on what he was doing. "Nothing dear. Just make sure whatever you do, piss off Natalya. She scares Toris and I all the time. Alfred never knows about it!" Amelie gave one of her signature smirks, "I like ya dude. But it's our little secret got it," The little girl placed her finger by her mouth so that the stylist could see in the mirror that was in front of them. Felix chuckled and winked back at her, "Totally little kid." He finished up with her hair. Amelie checked out her hair and it was like the most girliest thing she ever seen. Her hair was styled as an 'up do' wrapped up as a bun on top of her head. Felix had finishing touches to the style by putting some pretend flowers around the style to give it character. Arthur would totally admire if he was here. Amelie could only stick her tongue out; she just had to bear with it. The little girl jumped off the chair and ran to put on the poofy dress. Putting on the dress was very challenging to the little girl. She went head first to find the opening to place her head in. The dress was that poofy, she couldn't find her way in. Felix chuckled at the girl and helped her put it on so she wouldn't mess her hair up, "By the way what's your real name?" Amelie was trying to say her name through the dress, it was all mumbling. The thing was very hard to put on. "Amelie!" Once the little girl finally found the opening for her head, she finally got some fresh air. Felix was a little surprised by the name because he knew his friend talked about some girl named Amelie. He dismissed the thought and laughed at how adorable the sight of Amelie struggling to get into the dress was.

"H-hey! Help me with this monkey suit!" Amelie was having a little trouble with the sleeves. The dress wasn't like any dress she wore before. It fit like a glove in her mid-section and the rest was all over the place. She was just like a ball of poofy fluff. Felix nodded as he tried to muffle his chuckles and helped her get the rest of the dress on, "I guess it's your first time wearing a dress like this right?"

"Duh!" Amelie rolled her eyes back, "My social worker wanted me to dress up like this. If he sees me like this, he'll be all over taking pictures like I'm some little princess, yuck!" Amelie made a few gagging noises when Felix went and took some hair spray to her hair. "Sorry hun, this stuff won't make your hair fall down! But you mentioned social worker?" Felix was once again getting the feeling that was bugging him come back. "Yeah?" Amelie stared that man hoping things are cool.

"Might his name by any chance be Arthur Kirkland?"

"How do you know!?" Amelie stared in disbelief.

Felix chuckled before shaking his head, "He's my friend. So I knew I had a feeling that you reminded me of that little girl he always talks about!"

"Wow I never knew. He didn't tell me anything about you. How did you meet this Jones guy anyways?" Alice tried to walk in the short heels she placed on her feet. Those were hurting her feet a ton, pinching her little pinky toes. Felix sighed happily as he remembered how he got his job, "Oh well he usually never talks about me because I ask him not to, really. That and because he kinda still is irritated at me for hooking him up with his now ex once. Oh dear here Amelie try these," He said handing her black high heels that had a square heel as to make it more comfortable, "And well I met Mister Jones by Toris..." "Ex?" Amelie tried to adjust to the new shoes and started to walk steadier. Felix sighed and nodded, "Yeah. Francis. Francis Bonnefoy. He broke Iggs' heart so me and Tino broke his- uh never mind that."

"That's not cool! That was a bad foul on that Frenchy blah," Amelie started to get the hang out of walking. Having heels with a square heal felt easier compared to the pointy heel ones. "Yeah. He was a player and I never forgave myself for telling him about Iggy," Felix said sighing with sadness. Then he heard the knock on the door and brightened up. Toris stuck his head out a tad, not to disturb if Alice was still changing, "May I come in."

"Yeah come in!" Toris opened to door finding Alice a gem, "Felix you did it again. Alfred will be very happy." Felix nodded, "Do I ever disappoint darling?" He said rhetorically as he knew the answer. Toris blushed and gave a quick smile, "Let me get Alfred. He wanted to escort you down to meet the guests." Toris left in a flash to get his boss for him to see the big reveal. Felix chuckled and winked at Amelie, "You can guess already that I'm like Arthur. We bat for the same team." Amelie gave a quick smirk back before the doors open to see Jones. Alice's Dad looked very handsome. With his golden cornfield hair, blue eyes that show the ocean's beauty, his tan that was kissed by the sun lightly, also his glasses added a bit of sophistication for himself. Iggy he's perfect for you! If this dude plays for the same team. It's cool he and I have the same hair that's up! I like him already!

Alfred was astonished by his little girl's beauty and smiled, "You look amazing as ever baby girl!" Amelie started to get flustered and try to not getting nervous in front of Alice's Dad, "Y-you think so?" Alfred nodded and smiled gently before looking up towards Felix. "Thanks again Felix. You never disappoint." Felix bowed slightly and grinned, "When do I ever deliver anything but the best?" He winked subtly at Amelie and lipped 'good luck kid' before walking towards Toris. Amelie took a bit of the dress without tripping on it and gave nice smile to Felix before leaving the room. "Ready princess? Everyone downstairs will be stunned," Alfred gave himself a few chuckles and offered his hand for Amelie to hold on. "Yes," Amelie smiled back and took his hand quickly giving it a short squeeze. Alfred smiled and held her hand as he walked her towards the grand living room. Amelie looked around the room finding many people dressed in fancy clothes and drinking some clear stuff in glasses. The girl's stomach gave a quick gurgle since the girl hasn't gotten anything to eat. There must be something for her. "Father. May I first get something to eat?" Amelie looked down at her black shoes hoping Alfred didn't hear her stomach making noises. "It's okay baby you got that from me. I'm a bit hungry for snacks too. I'll be happy to join you get something before we make our intros," Alfred smiled and guided her to a servant that was carrying a tray filled with appetizers. "Care for anything Miss Jones? Sir?" The servant presented the tray that had many interesting treats, Amelie just wanted to eat them all. "I'll have this one waiter person!" Amelie took an interesting brown piece of food. Alfred was just about to say something before Amelie took a couple of bites, it was too late. "It tastes like a balloon," Amelie was scrunching her eyes from the horrible taste. It was like chewing on actual rubber. "Aly I didn't know you like snails?" Alfred gave her a confusing look. He didn't like the stuff either but Natalya insisted to have everything on the menu very dainty and formal. "Snails?" Amelie kept putting on an almost smile while chewing, "Nice. Chewy." The little girl gave the server a thumbs up after the server left to attend other guests. With the server and Alfred out of eye shot, Amelie spat the chewed up snail in her hand giving the poor creature an ugly look. All this money and these people eat slugs! Amelie placed the lost critter in her pocket maybe to do something with it later. You never know.

"Come on baby, it's show time!" Alfred took Amelie's free hand and walked over towards the living room. Once they entered the room filled with dressed up happy party goers, Alfred coughed to gain their attention. They all quieted down to hear him.

"Everyone, I'd like to introduce you to my beautiful, young princess, Alice Jones." Amelie started to blush with all the people around, "Hey.. how are you doing? ehh heh...i-t's a pleasure to meet you all." Amelie really didn't want to blow her cover; she started to dart bullets of sweat on her forehead from the tenseness. Alfred hadn't taken notice. It seemed like every other guess didn't either and they all smiled and waved at Amelie. The little girl followed the pattern and did the same. "Oh there she is. She looks very beautiful," Natalya commented on the girl's appearance. Amelie just wanted to puke again. Here comes the thought of the chewed up snail. The woman just looked like that in the girl's mind. Her face had too much make-up on that a clown could pull off. Also, her dress looked a bit too tight almost letting her woman things pop out, that made the girl shiver cold. Alfred smiled gently at the sight of Natalya and walked towards her and kissed her cheek making it worse for the little girl to watch. Amelie tried to cover her mouth from the scene making herself sick to her stomach. "Natalya right? You look better with the mask." Which was true to hide the woman's complexion, whit was a suitable color for her.

"I beg your pardon?" Natalya turned her head wondering what the girl had meant. Alfred stifled a laugh at the comment and was biting his lips in amusement. "Why won't Alice play the piano? I know a couple of guests want to hear," Natalya gave a smirk back at the little girl. Alfred nodded at the idea and smiled towards Amelie in an auxiliary manner, "Yeah do it honey!" The American gave his daughter a good squeeze on her shoulder for support. "I-I really can't," Amelie gave death glares at the woman for bringing it up. Playing the piano was impossible for her. She doesn't play any instruments. If they ask her to play something else like dodge ball or checkers then the girl will be all for it. It was just a plain 'no'. "How? You won the competition in your school sweetie," Alfred looked down noticing Alice might have stage fright or something. She was never like that when it came to the piano. "I-Im just not in the mood to play," Amelie shrugged letting her shoulders droop in the process. "It's okay baby. I can understand how you're tired and all from the jet lag," He said not remembering that Alice was used to the jetlag. "Alfred I told our guests that she would play. Just a quick song will do. We can't disappoint our guests," Natalya snaked her arm with his. Amelie really was getting annoyed to the extreme by this woman.

Alfred nodded slightly as he intertwined their fingers, "I guess..."

"Dad!" Amelie tried to fight back but it wasn't until Natalya had to pull her out to the side to have a little conversation. "Do me a big favor and untell them! I can't play the piano!" Amelie gave another glare at the woman. Natalya only gave a quick smile then switched it with an intense stare, "If you embarrass me in front of everyone, I'll make sure you never play anything ever again. Have I made myself clear?"

"Clear as glass," Amelie gave a devious smirk back as she pulled out the chewed up snail from her pocket and dropped it in the woman's champagne glass, "In fact that I could see right through." Amelie sighed and walked up to the piano. Alfred gave Natalya a quick smile as a 'thank you' for convincing her to play. Natalya smiled back and turned around finding the little girl getting herself adjusted on the piano's bench. She quickly stood up on to grab everyone's attention, "Attention everyone. In honor of my new step mother who I absolutely adore! I decided to play a little something of my own," Amelie gave a smile towards Natalya and started to smash and pound the piano keys making the sound unpleasant to hear. Alfred started to realize that Amelie or in his mind, Alice, was acting out because he hasn't been paying any attention to her recently and felt pretty fucking guilty at this point. The guests made slightly shocked faces at the sounds coming from the grand piano as the little girl kept smashing the keys for an unharmonious melody. Toris was embarrassed too. He really could tell the girl was having an off day. Natalya just kept keeping a straight face while Felix was trying so hard not to laugh. He could see behind Natalya's façade and whispered into Toris' ear, "Don't worry." Toris gave smile back since he knew he could trust Felix.

The night had finally ended and it was a good start for Amelie. She even placed a whoopy cushion on Natalya's place at the table. It was so priceless, Felix and her were giggling the night long. Once the guests left Amelie ran off towards her room to unpin the hair of doom once it was all out the girl took a relaxing bath for a good night's work. Good start Am! Hoping she'll be out of the house by the morning! The little girl took every minute soaking herself in the warm water and for laughs making a beard out of the bubbles. Once the bath was done she slipped in one of Alice's nightgowns, the only pajama clothing available. Either way there was no way avoiding a dress. Amelie sighed and let the purple silk do its thing. It was comfy though compared to the contraption she was wearing earlier. Shortly there was a knock at the door. Amelie got herself comfortable under the covers for her visitor to enter, "You may enter." The double doors revealed Alfred in a sad tone. Amelie figured he needed to talk to her about something, "Alice let's talk a bit alright honey?"

"What is there to talk about?" Amelie gave a smile back as she was watching Alfred sitting at the edge of her bed. "Well it's about Natalya honey."

"What about her?"

"Well why do you dislike her so much kiddo? She's been nothing but kind to you."

"She's a big foney baloney for you ask me!" Amelie started to make coughing and yaking noises to prove her point. Alfred sighed and messed her hair up, being careful of the cowlick, and stared at her, "Okay she may have a plastic nose or boobs but that doesn't mean she's entirely fake!" Amelie continued making yaking noises almost coughing up a lung. "Just try to like her for one day? Please?"

"Nope!" Amelie gave a cocky smile back.

Alfred laughed and sighed, "You remind me so much of your mother...well I guess it's time to sleep baby, unless you want to see more of Natalya!"

"No No!" Amelie blushed and went under the covers taking Uni with her. "I'm sorry sweet heart but hey guess what? We'll be together for the whole week since Natalya is leaving for the city this week planning for the wedding!" And with that Alfred tucked her in and kissed her forehead before leaving the room and turning off the lights.

"Hey!" Amelie turned around on her side to get Alfred's attention. Alfred turned around and hummed, "Yes kiddo?"

"I like having a father," Amelie smiled hiding her smirk under the covers.

"And I like having a daughter. Good night pumpkin," With that he left and closed the door and Amelie closed her eyes for tomorrow to come.
