With the sun seeping inside the suite, Arthur opened his eyes seeing the little girl nuzzling close to his chest. It was a touching moment to see. She looked very fragile and at peace in the Brit's arms, with one of her hands clutching onto his shirt. He gave a brief smile and turned his head around seeing the time on his alarm clock. He widen his eyes that it was almost half past nine and he was late for counseling for the morning activities, including Amelie, she missed a few of the scheduled events. With everything happening last night the Brit forgot to set his alarm for the next day. He mentally gave himself a kick in the head forgetting about this job, this was very serious that he could get in trouble worse have the fear of losing his job. Arthur would be devastated if he ever lost his job and lost his privilege to see Amelie ever again. "Amelie we need to wake up and hurry!" Arthur lightly tapped the girl's shoulder many times to wake her up. With the excessive action of her shoulder getting poked, the little girl opened up her forest gems meeting with Arthur's eyes. "Arthur?" Alice started to sit up slowly in the bed giving her tired eyes a 'wake up call' by rubbing them endlessly. "I need to get you to your cabin quickly," Arthur took a couple of clothes for the day and scurried over to the bathroom for a quick prep of teeth brushing and taming his scruffy blond locks. Alice gave a confused look at Arthur before turning her head to the clock. It was late, she did remember of having an activity to do at nine. The girl gave a slight nod and jumped straight out of the bed with Amelie's blanket that Arthur brought from her bunk. Alice was completely shocked about the matter from remembering what had happened the night before. She went out of character, she was not the 'Amelie' that everyone including Arthur had known. The little girl basically blew her cover and was about to face the consequences with the Brit himself. Apparently for Arthur, he didn't seem to remember any of it since he was so preoccupied about not being late. Alice gave a sigh of relief and waited for Arthur to leave the bathroom so he could escort her back to her cabin.

"Okay. Ready dear?" Arthur took his clipboard and whistle off one of the counters and lead Alice out the door. He locked the door and took the girl's hand in haste. Alice's grip went strong once Arthur started to pick the pace towards the girl's cabin so neither he or Amelie will try to make it not so late on time. Once the two arrived at their designated spot, Elizabeta was sitting on the stairs that were leading to the cabin along with Dimitire. The two turned heads and stood up with Elizabeta giving the two a welcome back smile signaling Arthur that he wouldn't take it as getting punished for being late. Apparently Arthur misinterpreted it. "I-I'm so sorry Liz. The time just flew out of my fingers and I forgot to set my alarm for this morning, and…" Arthur was cut off with Elizabeta raising her hand close to let him stop. "Arthur it's okay. I explained to heads, they knew about last night with Amelie. She needed someone she could trust, you were the only one to help her on that," She smiled back at Arthur and finding the little girl hiding behind the Brit's legs, blushing. "And I found the perpetrator behind the frog incident," Elizabeta placed both of her hands firmly on the boy's shoulders. Dimitre just looked down holding his missing slipper that he had lost in both of his dirty hands. "We found a missing article of clothing near the girls' window so we suspected it was one of the boys who planned this. This missing slipper had the boy's name written on it." The boy blushed even redder from getting caught it was very embarrassing and seeing the girl across the way giving a smile back, he was truly defeated. "And Dimitre was about to apologize isn't that right?" Elizabeta gave a little push to the boy. Dimitre both stared at Amelie and Arthur who were giving very angry looks back from his performance from earlier. "S-sorry…" Dimitre looked down not giving either one of them any eye contact. Arthur sighed and gave the girl a push as well to receive her apology. Alice could tell the boy was losing it due to the fact he was literally shaking in his shoes. Too bad Amelie wasn't here to enjoy this! Alice gave the boy another smile back, "What you did was not cool! But thanks for the apology!"

"Okay you two! Since the activities are almost done for the morning, why don't you both have a break till after lunchtime?" Elizabeta suggested while taking Dimitre's hand towards the head's cabin, "And for you my dear boy, you are my assistant for the whole day. No activities, no games. How does that sound?" Dimitre gave a gulp and nodded. He turned his head a bit giving Amelie devious eyes of more revenge to come later. Alice smiled back, locking eyes with the boy to bring it.

"Amelie?" Arthur tried to gain the girl's attention once Elizabeta and Dimtire were out of sight. "W-what?" Alice turned around finding Arthur smiling back, "Why don't you get ready and we'll spend the rest of the morning together. It's been awhile since we did anything." Alice nodded back with hearing her stomach gargle with a semi-loud noise. Arthur couldn't help it and gave a few laughs. "And we'll have a snack before we have fun, now go fresh up I'll be waiting right here." The little girl blushed again and ran right inside to her bunk to grab some of Amelie's clothes. Luckily both Amelie and she were the same size so nothing was too big or too tight. Many of Amelie's clothes were very loose fitted since the girl had a tomboyish style. So Alice grabbed a pair of jeans that had its days and a comfortable hoodie since it was a bit chilly out this morning. After she finally got dressed, Alice scurried over to the girls' bathroom finding many rows of sinks. She spotted Amelie's name on one of them finding a tooth brush and some tooth paste. Alice was very against sharing anything hygienic, but emergencies are emergencies. She instantly had another idea of using her finger to brush her teeth instead. She had seen her Dad being lazy at times forgetting a tooth brush so he just squirted some on his finger to do the task. Alice did the same now applying the minty substance on her finger. It was a different feeling than using a regular toothbrush, but it had to be done to prevent any cavities. With the tap still running, she gathered some of the water with her hands to wash any tooth paste away. She was now ready for her morning with Arthur. Alice had to admit she was very looking forward to what they will be doing for the rest of the morning.

Arthur waited for a bit sitting on the same steps that Elizabeta sat on before. It had been awhile since Amelie went inside. "Why on earth is that girl taking so long? She rarely takes her time to get ready," Arthur contemplated of the girl's actions that lead to last night's happenings. Did he really heard 'Alice' Kirkland? That name really caught the Brit off guard when he first heard that name. He could've sworn he had heard that name before. "Ready to go!" Alice tapped one of Arthur's shoulders alerting the Brit to start the fun. "Oh! Amelie!" Arthur stood up and shook his head. "Something wrong? Looks like you were thinking of something?" Alice stared at Arthur hoping everything was alright. Was he now thinking about what happened last night? She was now starting to sweat a bullet hoping to end topic soon. Arthur didn't want to put any more pressure on the girl since she was first starting to feel better compared to last night. That will be another day. "No. Just worried that you took a while was all," Arthur took a look at his watch. It was a little after ten so they have a good two hours to do whatever either of them pleased. "Oh sorry, I was just too excited for today. I just wanted to make it perfect," Alice blushed letting her eyes stoop to the ground. Taking time out of her hands just for him? Arthur felt touched by that. He simply smiled back lending her his hand, "So let's start our adventures."

"Yes!" Alice stared at the hand and eagerly grabbed it, happy to have a good start off to their day.

It was a great start to both of them, having a wonderful time at the camp. Ever since Alice had her 'one on one' with Arthur, they have been very close, closer than you had ever imagined. The little girl could trust Arthur with her life. He definitely reminded the young girl of her. The Brit was kind, caring, and trustworthy. He was like the long lost person that Alice had never met in her life. From hearing many stories that her father gave to her at bedtime about her mother they link towards Arthur, like he was another version of her. They do have the same last name as well or was it mere coincidence? Who knew? During the rest of the morning Arthur took her out fishing and it was very fun. They even caught a boot that had multiple fish inside that scared the poor girl. It was all for laughs since the fish were very tiny that could fit in the palm of her hand. Alice gave a couple of giggles herself of the fish's tail tickling her hands. She let them go and started the fishing again hoping to catch something else maybe a rainbow fish that her father told her in a bedtime story. Later during arts and crafts, Arthur taught her how to sew with his fine needle. Alice was enjoying herself nicely, knitting felt very calming and satisfying. She might ask her father to buy her supplies to start more projects. Alice could name many including making a little sweater for Uni. That would be very adorable and he would love the comfort. Arthur was looking pleased that he and Amelie were bonding. Even though they spend time together doing parent routes for Amelie's new home, they never have much bonding experience with just the two of them alone. It made him very happy. Interacting with her more, made the Brit want to adopt her sooner. She was the perfect child towards him even though she had her days of terror; no one could ever replace his Amelie. It was finally noon that Alice suddenly remembered to meet Amelie that her family's horse stables. "I have to go! I'll be back soon!" She ran into the woods again not telling Arthur of her whereabouts. "Amelie!" Arthur stared at the little girl running off again.


The light was too bright for Amelie to handle. She just wanted to be bundled up in the nice blankets to keep herself cozy for the rest of the day, making the bed her solitude fortess. Suddenly there was a sound of a door opening, making the little girl slightly groan. She didn't want to wake up, not this instant, not one bit at all. "Aly baby! Time to wake up!" Amelie could recognize the voice being Alice's Dad. So she slightly undid the covers revealing her awful bedhead towards the American. Since when does Alice's Dad wake up so early? I see him as type to sleep in like me! "Hey my cute sleeping beauty Natalya is going to the city soon. So up up up! We'll have some breakfast and the limo will be driving her off." Oh yes she's leaving! Finally! Oh yeah but only for a little while. Alice won't be happy about this.

"Okay," Amelie gave another big yawn without covering her mouth. Alfred gave a smile back and shut the door lightly to give the girl some privacy to get ready. Looking through the many closets in the room, Alice's clothing was just too girly for Amelie's taste. Browsing through pink, pink, and even more pink the little girl just stuck her tongue out in disgust. She had to play the part even though Felix knew; the others still have to be fooled to prevent any busting. Luckily she found something green, a polo shirt. Green was her favorite color so putting on the polo with a pair jean shorts she found hiding in back of the closet, she had the perfect outfit for the day that fit her style. Thank you Alice for having at least these! Amelie brought the jean shorts close to her to admire them more. With a quick change and managing to tame her blonde locks in mere seconds, she sprinted down towards the dining area. She could smell many delicious pancakes close that made the little girl's mouth water. Amelie had her heart set on chocolate chip. Those were her favorite! "Hello Alice, please sit down," Toris offered the girl a seat to sit at the table. "Thank you Toris," Amelie smiled at the butler and she was right there was a big mound of chocolate chip pancakes calling out her name. "See you got dem eyes on the cakes baby?" Alfred walked into the room carrying a cup of freshly brewed coffee.

"Uh yes! I really am starvin, I meant hungry," Amelie gave a sigh noticing that neither Alfred nor any other people in the room suspected anything. She took a good helping of the cakes and looked at Felix winking in the girl's direction, making Amelie blush a tad. Natalya turned her head when she was walking into the room. She gave the little girl direct eye contact. Due to the festivities that happened the night before, she expected nothing will be repeated ever again. The woman checked her seat cautiously if there was anything on it.

"Alice."

"Natalya," Amelie stared back not losing eye contact with the woman sitting right in front of her. Alfred sat the head of the table, sitting in between with his new fiancée and his little girl who were making daggers at each other. "Okay!" Alfred stepped in to break the staring competition, "Babe tell Aly what you are doing downtown this week!" Amelie almost puked in her mouth from hearing the nicknames from Alice's Dad. She just sat still in her seat and munched on pancakes for a distraction. "Well I'm just going to make orders for the catering, decorating, and of course buying my dress," Natalya took a dainty sip of her coffee. "Bet it will be one ugly dress," Amelie mumbled to herself while chewing another piece of pancake.

"What was that?"

"Nothing," Amelie looked to the side taking a big gulp of her orange juice. Now Alfred was starting to become nervous in his seat. He wanted both of the two people that he loved to get along. Natalya gave the girl a stern look, "Last night you really embarrassed me in front of our guests."

"Babe," Alfred leaned over towards Natalya's side to take her hand in his. "We already talked about this earlier. Yes what she did was not a nice thing, but it was my fault that I didn't give her much attention when she got home. This week will be a fresh start to catch up since she was away at school. She'll warm up to you soon! Right baby?" Alfred looked in Amelie's direction for her say, "Yes I most certainly will."

"And?" Alfred added to cue the girl for her apology. Amelie dreaded the idea of apologizing. That woman doesn't deserve anything from the way she was treating her. "Natalya it was true. I just was jealous that Daddy was spending more time with you than I. I hope you can accept my apology," Amelie played the 'fake look' making it very corny but at the same time caring enough to fool Alfred at least.

"See you both will get along, just takes time is all!" Alfred reached his left hand over to grab Amelie's. Amelie just blushed back and stared at Natalya not loving this moment. Natalya felt the same way. That little girl probably had something else up her sleeve. She was a major block in her path. The woman was not into children at all; she preferred to be alone with Alfred but not for love, it was his money. Of course the activities in the bedroom were enjoyable in the sleepless nights they have spent together. She could take that man for granted though he was just a child, a child with big money. Marrying the man will get her wishes granted with the parties, connections, and of course getting many clothing, shoes, and accessories to fit in her big walk-in closet. She couldn't wait till this month was over. The woman had an idea of sending the little nuisance to Tibet so she could be faraway not, causing any problems with her money.

"The limo is here Miss Natalya," Toris stepped back into the dining room to inform everyone. Natalya nodded back and took her hand back from Alfred. "Yes. Make sure all my belongings are packed. I would dread if one little item is misplaced," Natalya gave the butler a death glare truly meaning her words over a hundred percent. Seriously the woman didn't even give the nice man a 'thank you'. Amelie just felt bad that she treated Toris this way. She looked at Alice's Dad he too was feeling the same. He probably lets her tantrums go because she may have an off day or not feeling well, but that doesn't give her the excuse to treat others. In Alfred's eyes the little girl could tell that he was sorry for Toris.

"W-will do ma'am!" Toris fled off in a hurry to triple check all of Natalya's belongings were safely inside the vehicle.

"Yes, we better get going," Alfred stood up from his seat and Amelie did the same following both the wicked witch and Alice's Dad to the front door. "That was totally stellar little kid," Felix walked over next to Amelie whispering in her ear, "Me and Tor-Tor were listening the whole thing through the kitchen. The way you told her off I feel your pain. At least we are getting a break from pulling our hair off."

"If only she left this house forever though," Amelie whispered back she was lucky this time that Natalya didn't hear her. "Due time I know you got something else to get rid of her."

"Or better yet to replace her," Amelie gave a sad smile, "Too bad Alice's Dad doesn't like boys. Arthur would be perfect for him. He's way nicer than that wicked witch."

"Little kid you may have a good idea," Felix smiled, "Did I mention he likes both." Amelie's eyes went wide from hearing those words. "OMG you're lying!" The little girl faced the man not believing anything. "If I'm lying why would I say that?" Sure Amelie was on the fence now either believing or disbelieving the man's words. Maybe he just needed to meet Arthur to see if his reactions would match to Felix's gossip.

"Aly baby come on!" Alfred called over from outside. "Go on! And remember what I said," Felix winked back and walked back into the dining hall helping the other servants with the left over breakfast dishes. Amelie nodded and walked outside meeting Alice's Dad and Natalya by the limo. "O-okay I tripled checked Miss," Toris wiped his brow from closing the limo's trunk door. "It better be," Natalya stared at the man rolling her eyes. "I'll miss you so much. You'll miss me too right?" The woman wrapped both of her pale arms around the American's neck. Alfred could only smile back, "That's right babe!"

"Good," Natalya giggled and locked her lips with Alfred's. Alfred obliged with Natalya's action and kissed right back allowing the woman's tongue to enter inside his mouth. With a game of tongue twister, Amelie's face turned white as Natalya's face goop. She tried not to vomit at the same time giving the scene many gagging noises for them to realize there was a little kid present. Padding her pockets she smiled to find a stick of gum to leave the bad after taste of her almost spewed vomit. Then another idea automatically popped in her head giving the chewing gum a lot of chomping. Luckily Alice's Dad took the hint from the noises before and blushed from embarrassment. He ended the kiss leaving his lips partly bruised from the contact. Natalya felt sad from the lost however she knew it was that little girl always ruining the moment. Toris snickered silently to himself while opening up the limo's doors for the woman.

Natalya was about to enter the vehicle but she had to do another act of kindness to get Alfred on her side. So she turned around bending down extending her arms towards the little girl for a goodbye hug. Amelie crossed her arms, smiling for a good opportunity for her plan to erupt when she noticed of the woman's actions. She just wanted to play the part to please the American. Thank you ever so much! Amelie walked closer towards the woman wrapping her arms around her shoulders. Her long hair was soft to the touch, too bad it won't ever be the same once she came back. After that awkward hug of mere seconds Natalya let the girl leave from her grasp and lightly kissed Alfred on the kiss for a farewell.

"Have a good trip babe!" Alfred closed the door once Natalya was inside. With everything, and of course Natalya, was safely inside the vehicle the driver took off. Natalya took one of her hands out of the sun roof waving out a goodbye. Seeing Natalya riding off further away from the house Amelie couldn't stop smiling. Too bad she lost her gum. It went to a better home anyways.

With the limo out of view Alfred looked over at his daughter giving her a smile, "Why don't we catch up baby?"

"Sure!" Amelie smiled back running over to the basketball court she had her eyes on. She was a bit disappointed of not seeing a net or a field to play soccer on. That sport was on her mind the past couple of days though basketball was better than nothing. Alfred was surprised that she wanted to play any sports, but hey it was time to catch up. She probably got interested while she was away at school. The American smiled again and followed her over to the courts. It had been awhile since he had used them due to work preoccupying him. He had spoken with his boss about this week and he was given permission to take a week of vacation to spend some quality time with his daughter. With a couple of rounds of 'horse' Amelie won them all in a spree. Alfred couldn't have been so proud of his little girl. After basketball the two agreed to go inside to have a movie marathon watching superhero movies of Spiderman, Batman, and of course the great Captain America. They watched them under a fort of pillows and blankets that Amelie suggested. It was a fun few hours till Amelie looked at the clock and it was noon on the dot. Alice! She's probably there now! She got out of her pillow fort and found Alice's Dad whipping something in the kitchen.

"You hungry baby? I'm making burgers!" Alfred held his spatula in the air smiling like SpongeBob. Toris could only give a laugh while he was cutting up some lettuce. Amelie smiled big she loved hamburgers. "Yeah! I'm going to play outside!" Amelie gave a wave and head off in the backyard. "Okay baby be safe!" Alfred waved back and started to cook up a big lunch.


Alice ran towards the stables and stopped abruptly to give herself a breather. Spending the morning with Arthur was fun, too bad that she and Amelie were switching back. Alice would love to spend more days with him maybe when Amelie was still at the camp they could do daily switches. The thought came to mind if Amelie really had pulled it off, scaring away Natalya from her home. She hoped it really happened would save herself and her Father from a lot of trouble. She waited till Amelie had to come hoping she finally got rid of Natalya for good. The little girl saw that speck of Amelie running to her and gave a breath of relief, "How was the party?"

Amelie stopped and smiled before she sighed with a slight grimace, "It was great if ya don't count being tortured for the sake of hair and having Natalya cooties on me and being dressed super girly and disgusting then yeah." Alice blushed from the guilt and looked off towards the side, "Sorry," She turned her head back to meet the girl's eyes, "But is she gone?" Here came the bad news. Alice could tell in Amelie's eyes what she was about to hear was not good.

Amelie shook her head that Alice figured it out, "Well...she is...but only for a week," She murmured in shame for not being able to get rid of the pest. "Really?" Alice's smile turned right into a frown from hearing the bad news. "Yeah," Amelie sighed, "Sorry I didn't do the job right."

"Why can't my Dad be with Arthur? He's perfect," Alice sighed and crossed her arms letting herself lean against the stable's door. Amelie perked up and smiled a little remembering what Felix had said earlier, "Too bad they haven't met. They would be so perfect together."

"Of course! They would. My Dad should've met him first."

"Besides the bad news I got some good news though!" Amelie smiled back seeing Alice's frown upside down. "Really what is it?"

Amelie shook her head and grinned, "I met Felix!"

"That's great, but why does Felix come into this?" Alice raised her brow with her arms still crossed how her sassy Pollack friend could help their mess. "Well before Natalya left he gave me some helpful words!" Amelie kept smiling with her arms behind her back while rocking her heels back.

"What did he say?" Alice was too focused on what Amelie was about to say next. "Well he did mention your Dad liking both girls and boys!"

"I never knew Daddy was in it but it's good! Once he sees him he would totally forget about Natalya!"

"Exactly!" Amelie smiled more, "Let's make them meet each other! And then Bam! They get together!" The little girl snapped her fingers together to prove her point. "But how will that work? My dad is getting married in a month," Alice slumped down to her knees. She really wanted this to work more than everything and Amelie was on board as well. With the both of them working together they will find a way to make it count.

"Well there's horses at the camp isn't there?! You two come here in the afternoon and we'll do the same! We then will meet up somewhere else and let them bump into each other no?!" Amelie said trying to work out how to get the two together, "I just can't wait!"

"Yeah that could work!" Alice smiled back while standing up. Amelie grinned and high fived the girl, "Awesome! So what now?"

Alice gave the girl a high five back, "We should head back before they get suspicious especially with Arthur. Meet at an hour?"

"Tell Iggy that he should get ready for something big!" Amelie said before running towards the estate.

"Will do!" Alice ran off smiling, hoping the plan would work.
