The Problems of Staying

Thank you Guests (2), Bizzarieve, I am a stegosaurus asdf movie, PurpleRose8a

Ok people a lot less reviews than last time. If I don't start getting more I'll be depressed. Also I had also thought of using a Tunnel of Love but Gowland spreading rumors! Genius! Revenge on Blood Dupre. Also I don't know much about the Jokers. I only read Heart no Kuni no Alice.

Oh and I want the Heart no Kuni no Alice game so I will greatly appreciate if any one knows how I can get the game for free, online preferred.

The Problems of Staying

With Nightmare:

'Finally! Alice fell asleep what took her so long? Usually she is out like a light. Or like me when I bolt from a room full of paper work.' "Hello Alice." "Oh. Hey Nightmare. How are you?" "Well after you left me to the evil clutches of Gray and paper work." He did a slight glare at her. Which she giggled at and Nightmare thought was cute. "It was boring I was dying for you to fall asleep." 'He was waiting for me? That's sweet of him. Wait did he just hear my thoughts?' She looked at him but didn't see anything that showed that he read her mind. But he had indeed read her mind. He looked away so she wouldn't see his nervousness. 'She thinks I'm sweet? I really want her to marry me so time to turn on the charm.'

"What took you so long to fall asleep anyway?" Nightmare asked her. Wanting to know what or who is taking his precious time of Alice away. "You know what I don't remember." Alice said. This was indeed true. Alice tried to remember but her memory wouldn't allow it. "So why did you want to see me so eagerly for?" Alice asked our favorite incubus. "Oh no reason really. I just wanted to see you." Was his response which he was rewarded for by a dark pink blush on Alice's account. 'He just wanted to see me? That is so . . . so . . . wonderfully kind of him. I feel special and wanted for once.' 'Oh she likes this? Well is being sweet gets her to like me then so be it.'

Nightmare floated down and looked Alice in the eye. "You know what, Alice?" "What?" Alice asked back her interest piqued. "Why don't you visit the Clover Tower tomorrow?" Alice looked shocked at his invite. "Why?" "Well I would like to see you and it has been awhile since I last saw you in person." As he finished his last sentence he floated around Alice to have her back face him. He hugged her from behind. She blushed. . .big time. 'This is so different. Why is he acting like this?' Nightmare frowned thinking she didn't like this but then smiled big at her next thought. 'But why do I like it . . . a lot.' So he whispered in her ear in a seductive like manner. "Why not?" She shivered from the sensation of his actions. "Fine I'll try to visit you."

"What do you mean by try?" "Well usually when I make plans to do something someone or something intervenes." "Well if I don't see you at the clock tower by three time periods I'll haunt your dreams for a week." He smiled evilly, like a true incubus. Alice shivered either from the pleasure from him speaking in her ear in a hushed manner and the surprisingly sexy look on his face. Or from fear of what he means by haunting her dreams.

The dream world wavered. "Looks like you are waking up, my dear." "Oh." Alice said sadly. Nightmare, now in front of Alice, smirked noticing the sadness in her voice. "See you at the Clover Tower or in your dreams." "Just admit it. You just want to use me to get out of work." Alice used as a comeback.

With Alice and Julius:

When Alice woke up it showed morning which is convenient because of the random time changes. She realized that this wasn't her room so she got a little nervous. But she shrugged and thought 'Whatever I'll deal with it later. Why do I feel so warm? But, strangely, I feel so comfortable.' Then she realized arms were wrapped around her. She immediately thought, 'Peter! That perverted rabbit! I'll clobber him.' So Alice turned around rapidly ready to beat and skin the rabbit in his sleep only to find a peaceful, serene looking Julius. Alice thought, 'He looks so young and happy in his sleep. No scowl or grimace on his face. He even looks handsome. I hope Nightmare isn't reading my mind.' Julius is laying his side holding Alice by the waist. His hair cascading down and surrounding both of them. A few stray hairs framing his face perfectly. His lips leading upwards in a slight smile, to Alice it looked a little inviting. His long, dark bluish-blackish lashes looked perfect on his pale skin. Slowly his eyes fluttered open to take in the glorious sight before him. Pure blue eyes staring straight into his, a dusty pale pink blush on her plumpish cheeks.

Julius smiled at Alice. "Good morning Alice." "Morning Julius. Do you want me to go make you coffee?" Alice started to scoot out of the bed and Julius's arms. Julius frowned, grunted, and pulled her into his arms again. "No, not yet, just let me hold you like this a little longer." 'And by a little longer I mean forever. Waking up to see you next to me and in my arms was wonderful. It was like waking up to see my beautiful wife. You will marry me. I will make your maybe into a yes.' "Julius?" "Yes?" He said sleepily. "I have to get up to make breakfast." "No." Julius said childishly holding her closer. "Don't you have clocks to fix?" "Nope. Not until Ace brings some." Julius said happily believing he won. He still had his eyes closed. "What can I do to get you to let me up?" Julius opened one eye. He thought that his dreams have been answered. "Will you do anything?" He inquired. Alice thought about it. She has to get to Nightmare and in order to do that she has to get out of bed. She sighed, "Yes." Julius smiled a smiled that rivaled even Boris's. "Spend the night in my room again. . .on second thought no." Alice eyes went from wide at the first part of the sentence. Then she sighed but looked uncertain at him. "Then what?" Alice asked him.

"Sleep in my room for a week." He is now looking in Alice's eyes, smiling sweetly but in all seriousness. Alice was now blushing a deep dark crimson. Julius smiled a large toothy grin. Alice said yes hoping that she will get to Nightmare in time so that way it would be worth it. "Yes Julius." Julius said, "Now we can get up. And yes I still want your coffee. But first." Julius kissed her forehead. Then got up.

With Alice:

Alice went to the kitchen in a daze. 'Julius just kissed me. Sure it was just my forehead but it was a kiss. I wonder what it would be like if he kissed my lips?' Then Alice realized what she was thinking. She mentally scolded herself. 'No bad Alice don't think about Julius that way. But then again he did propose to me. But it wouldn't be right to think about him like that unless we are together. Aww who am I kidding I am attracted to him. But I want to see all of my choices.' Before she knew it she had made breakfast and Julius a cup of black coffee and herself some milk and sugar tea.

They sat together at a small table to eat breakfast together for once. Buttermilk pancakes, turkey bacon, and scrambled eggs for herself and over-easy for Julius. "Did you sleep well?" Julius suddenly asked her. "I fell asleep fine, it was quite comfy in your room. I was surprised that your bed was comfortable and fluffy considering you don't sleep. Nightmare visited me." Julius was slightly insulted that she mocked him for not sleeping often. But he brushed it aside since she mentioned Nightmare. "What did he want?" "He said he wanted me to visit him today or else." "Or else what?" Julius inquired. One eyebrow raised and his full attention on her. "He said if I don't see him in 3 time periods he will haunt me in my sleep for a week." "Then you better hurry and go see him. Leave now. I will clean up." Alice was shocked. Smiled sweetly than did the unexpected. She kissed him on the cheek and hurried away.

With Julius:

He was upset that Nightmare threatened Alice. But on the bright side he got a kiss from her. 'Alice just kissed me' He put his hand on his right cheek, where Alice kissed it. It still tingled from the sensation of her lips on his skin. 'So that means I am moving ahead to unearth those feelings of hers of me. I am making progress. Quicker than I thought. But the others still have a chance as well.'

With Pierce:

He saw Alice walking on the road and just had to talk to her. 'But how can I get some affection from her. Oh I know. For once that cruel cat will come in handy.' "WWWAAAHHHH!" Pierce yelled running to Alice. Alice looked in his direction, startled by the sudden outburst from the previously peaceful journey. Pierce ran into her with so much force that it knocked her all the way to the ground onto her back. Pierce shaking on her. They fell in a very optional way. Pierce fell between her legs and held her around the waist. Plus to top the situation off his head . . . on her chest. Alice with her arms above her head, Pierce between her legs, and hair spread all around her.

Alice leaned up a bit supporting their weight on her elbows. His head, though, was pushed in her chest more. Alice blushed noticing this but said nothing. "Pierce what happened that scared you so much?" He propped his chin on her chest looking up at her with big, teary eyes. "That evil cat tried to eat me, chu~." He said even more teary eyed. Alice smiled softly and ran her fingers through his scarlet hair. 'It is soft and smooth.' Then cupped his ear and rubbed it a little. 'So soft. I wonder what it would be like to rub my face in it.'

Alice moved to sit crisscross-applesauce. Pierce moved to sit on his knees, put his hands on his knees, took his face off Alice's chest but kept it fairly close to her. His knees touched her legs the whole time. "Alice, is it true you have to marry a role-holder, chu?" Alice looked startled by the sudden question. "Yes it is true." "Would you marry me, chu?" Alice's eyes widened. Pierce saw this. "Sorry, chu! You don't have to answer me. I just wanted to know. I am sorry. Please forgive me, chu!" Alice smiled sweetly at him. And rubbed her face in his hair and the side of his ear. Making him blush. "Pierce. Stop. I will keep your proposal in mind. Ok but I do need to think." Alice got up and left. 'Well she shows an interest and she blushed when I asked her'

With Boris:

Boris went to go find Alice. The 'old man' and he created a new ride over night that ought to get Boris a few points from Alice. When he noticed Alice on the road. "Alice!" Alice looked in his direction. "Hey, Alice. The old man made a new ride and he said we need to test it out." "Sorry Boris. But I can't." Boris frowned. "Why?" "Because Nightmare said he wanted me to visit him within three time periods." Suddenly it changed to evening. "Make that two time periods." 'What Alice is visiting Nightmare! But I need her to come with me to the amusement park. Well I guess I need to do a Peter thing. Kidnap time!' "Sorry Alice but we need to test out the ride. Plus you're heading to Clover Tower right?" Alice nodded yes. Then Boris scooped her up, winning a yelp on her account. "Then you will be passing the amusement park on the way." And he ran to the park.

They made it to the park in five minutes tops. They saw Gowland at the entrance of the park. He smiled largely for them, "Hi! Alice thank you for agreeing to try out my new ride for me." "Gowland why do you need me and Boris to try out your new ride?" Alice asked. "I will tell you when we get to the ride." On the way to the ride Gowland decided it was payback time on Blood for spreading his name all over Wonderland with some of his own rumors. "Hey Alice did you hear what happened at the mansion?" Alice looked up curious, "No, I did not." "Do you want me to tell you?" "Yes, yes I do." 'Now if only I can get you to say those last two words to me Alice.' Boris thought.

With Gowland:

While I was waiting for Boris and Alice to arrive I got a great idea. I will spread rumors about Blood Dupre. 'If I make Dupre look bad than Alice will think of him even worse. Making him look like a bad choice. Increasing Boris's chances. Also I can get some revenge on Blood Dupre. It is a win-win situation.' So that is what I did when they arrived.

"Well for one I heard that every night one of his maids enters his room and leaves in the morning, looking much disheveled. Also, that he has a secret room that nobody but a few maids knows what is in there. Some say it has a few perverted videos and books. Also he is abusive." He waited for her reaction. She looked flabbergasted. "That is horrible! I knew he was cruel and makes horrible remarks but this is just too much!" "Do you wanna know something that sickens me more?" "Tell me." "Some say that even some of his male servants are the ones that enter his room at night and leave in the morning. In the same state as the females. Sometimes one of each at a time." Alice looked sickened at this and horrified. 'That seals the deal. Now I even doubt that she will visit him.' They arrived at the newest ride.

Alice looked up to see the ride. It had baby cupids with arrows at the entrance and a giant heart entrance. There was a river of water leading in. In the river was a boat. With a heart as its back and swans as its sides. The heads and necks of the swans connecting to make a heart. Alice looked horrified and Boris faked shock and horror. "Gowland! What is the meaning of this?" Alice yelled. Gowland flinched then answered. "People wanted a couple ride." He lied smoothly and continued. "So I needed a couple to test it. You and Boris came to mind right away. You two do make a cute couple and everyone here thinks so." Alice blushed and Boris and Gowland both saw it. "So. . . bye bye." Gowland said pushing the two in the boat and starting the ride.

With Boris and Alice:

They fell in the boat with Alice on top of Boris and between his legs. Her face on his chest and her hands on his bare stomach. "Sorry." She started to get up but felt his stomach again moving her hands on it she noticed it was firm. The sensation of her soft hands moving on his stomach made Boris feel pleasured and he shook. Alice saw that and immediately took her hands back blushing. 'So she likes my stomach, heh.' He smiled his Cheshire smile. He sat up and pulled her onto his lap. She stared at him wide eyed. "Boris what are you doing?" He took her hands and put it on his stomach and had her fingers under his shirt a little. "Go ahead and continue. It felt . . . good. And just enjoy the ride." Alice didn't need to be asked again and went ahead and continued.

'What is with me and guy's stomach and chest? First Julius and now Boris. But they are both so different. Julius's was built, solid, and pale. Boris's is lean, firm, and a slight tan. Both so different and yet both are entrancing.' Without her noticing her hands moved southward. Boris realized this right away and took his head out of the crook of her neck. She realized what she was doing when her hands his the fabric of the skirt part of his pants. She took her hands back and started to apologize. But he stopped her by pecking her lips.

"Why did you do that?" Alice asked Boris shyly. "Why shouldn't I?" Boris asked back. "I just nearly violated you when you trusted me to just touch your upper body." "So. I quite enjoyed your touch. And if you want you can make it up to me." "How?" "Simple, Let me touch you back." Alice made wide eyes. And before she could argue Boris moved to his side and removed her from his lap by pushing her down onto the bench. His hands on her waste. His head on her neck nuzzling it in the process. "Alice I guess I should bring this up now. I would like for you to marry me. I know we are both young but I want to be with you." He said in all seriousness looking her in the eyes after the first sentence. "How did you know I have to marry?" "What do you mean?" This was only half a lie. He wanted to marry her long before he was told she had to by the twins.

"You didn't know that in order for me to stay here I had to marry?" Alice was touched that he was willing to marry her before the whole drama of her having to marry. "No. Now can you explain why you have to?" They moved to a proper sitting position for Alice to tell the story. But Boris made sure their legs were toughing and he had his arm around her. So Alice told him everything about Nightmare saying she had to marry or get a clock. About the yearlong chance to marry or the consequence of not. And the rules. But left out Pierce's and Julius's proposals. And spending the night and the rest of the week with Julius in his room. "Wow." Was all Boris could say. Faking being left in the dark perfectly.

"Alice do you except my proposal?" Alice thought about it. "I am not sure. I am extremely happy that you were willing to marry me before you found out this ordeal. But I need time to think. I will defiantly keep it in mind and consider it." "Plus I am the closest to your age too. The rest, excluding Pierce of course, are way older than you and the twins in kid form are younger than you." "You are right." 'I totally forgot that a majority of the role holders are older than me.' "Hey Alice?" "Yes." She turned to look at him only to be splashed by the rivers water. "Hey!" She splashed him back.

They ended up in a splash war. Which resulted in the boat tipping over. They rose up to the surface of the water, under the boat. They laughed and when the laughter died down they looked in each other's eyes. They both felt the pull. They both realized how close they are to each other. Boris quickly grabbed her waste and Alice grabbed his shoulders. And they connected by the lips. They had a sweet kiss. Passionate yet sweet. Slightly open mouth. Not a French kiss yet not a public peck either.

They fixed the boat to be right side up. Boris helped Alice back on and then go on himself. They sat with their legs touching the others and holding the others hand. Alice's on Boris's thigh with his hand on top of hers. Fingers intertwined. Alice was leaning her head on Boris's shoulder. "Boris?" She asked her eyes looking up her head nodding upwards. "Yes." "My answer to your proposal is still a maybe." Boris frowned slightly. "But you are closer to a yes than you think." She kissed his chin then looked down. Seeing the exit up ahead. "Boris smiled largely and kissed the top of her head.

When they reached they exit they saw Gowland. "So what do you think?" He saw them wet. "Why are you wet?" "Take away some of all the mushy stuff. Add a section that is a little scary so the girl will get a little scared and the male will 'protect' her." Alice said while putting quotes around protect. Boris took over. "To answer your second question the boat tipped over." Mary Gowland looked at them quiz-like wondering how it tipped over. Alice saw this and didn't want him to get the wrong idea. "Splash war." She said hoping this covered it all. Gowland looked relieved and that he understood it all.

"Did any time periods change while I was on the ride?" "No why?" "I have to get to Nightmare in two time periods." "Why?" "I don't want him to haunt my dreams that's why. So bye." And she proceeded to run off. "What happened during the ride Boris." Gowland asked. Boris smiled happily and told him to follow him back to the planning room. When they got there Boris told Gowland everything. Gowland had happy stars as eyeds when story time was over. Thinking that they were so in the lead with winning Alice's heart.

With Alice and the Tweedles:

As I was running down the road I ran into two people. One in red attire the other blue. I saw that they were the Tweedles. "Onee-chan!" {Sorry people I noticed that I spelt it wrong the last time my bad} "Dee! Dum! Sorry guys but I got to go." She was about to run away when they grabbed her. Then the time period changed to night. 'Shoot the time changed again. I only have one time period left.' "Onee-chan would you marry us?" "What? Sorry boys but you are too young to marry. Twelve is too young for anyone to marry. Though I am touched that you would want to marry me. Plus there is two off you and one off me it wouldn't be right." They latched themselves on her arms. "But onee-chan it is ok to marry both of us." Dee said. "And the age thing is fixable see?" Dum concluded.

There was a flash of light and before Alice stood was two very sexy eighteen year old men. "See Alice-chan. Now we are old enough to marry you." Dee whispered in her ear. Then kissed her cheek. "And Alice-chan you would get to have twice the fun if you marry both of us." Dum concluded and kissed her temple. Alice blushed the deepest crimson yet. 'Do they have any idea what this looks like? And to think I thought I was in the clear with these two with the age thing. Well they proved me wrong. Does Dum have any idea how suggestive that last sentence sounded? Calm down, Alice. They still think like twelve year old boys. Well blood-lustful twelve year old boys. Right?' Little does Alice know that these two boys already had the talk and that they ment it in the suggestive way.

'Well they are really hot and sexy as eighteen year olds. Plus I don't want to hurt their feelings. Maybe it is then.' "Dee, Dum. I will say maybe. I will consider your proposal. Now I have to go." "But Alice-chan we want to play." They said together. "Dee! Dum! Where are you! Get your asses over here!" Elliot yelled looking for them. "Crap the newbie-hare is here." Dum said. "I guess we have to leave the pretty lady, brother." "Yes we do, brother. Don't want the rabbit to take her." So they both looked at each other than Alice. Smirked and kissed her cheeks. And before they let go they each pecked her lips. Then ran and changed back into twelve year old boys before Elliot saw them.

Alice stood there let what happened sink into her mind then ran figuring the last time period change will happen at any second. Then she ran. She just had to get past the Joker forest to get to her destination.

With Alice:

'Ok I see the exit of the forest up ahead. At least the universe was kind enough to not let anything else happen to me when I was in the forest.' "Hi bitch." 'Spoke . . . thought. . . to soon.' "Hello Black and White." "Hello Alice. How are you? Care to talk?" "I am fine White for the most part. Thanks for asking. But I am in a bit of a hurry and need to be on my way." White Joker frowned at this. "Let me guess you have a lot on your mind about this marriage business." Alice stood shock still in mid step. "How did you know?" "Well bitch, everyone in Wonderland should know by now." Black replied. "Must you curse in every sentence Black?" "No I don't have to use a damn curse in every sentence." Alice sighed. "Well I must go now." The time changed. 'Crap! Now I really have to go before this time change ends.' Bye Bye.

With the Jokers:

"Why didn't you propose, damn it!" "Black the time wasn't right. It is all about the timing. Plus your cursing got on her nerves. She hates it." 'As do I.' He added mentally.

With Alice:

She ran at top speed and saw the tower come into view. She ran all the steps and was ready to collapse. She got to the door. She slammed it open as the time changed one last time. The time changed at the exact same time as she opened the door. She saw Nightmare at the top of the steps waiting for her. He began speaking. "You are . . ."

Well people there it is. Question Time! Yay!

Did Alice make it on time or is she late?

I am unsure of whether to continue or discontinue this story. I really like writing this but I am not getting many reviews. I am greatful that some of my readers are sending me their thoughts but I want to make you all happy so tell me should I continue. Also give me some scenarios that you guys would like to happen and with whom.

Bye Bye

Fruity-chu~
