MintBunni: I'm sorry for not updating this often guys . I've been soooooopaaaa busy with school and afterschool activities. Since I didn't have enough time to work on this(And 'cause it's also boxing day), I decided to make a short bonus chapter instead~! Hope you guys enjoy it~! ^-^

It was nice and sunny afternoon. Christmas had just passed and Alex was kicking the new soccer ball her sister gave her around the house. Many of the servants gave her judgmental looks, but Alex simply ignored them. She didn't care what they thought of her. They can all just jump off a cliff. Still, it can be tiring being her wonderful, awesome self, but what can you do? Sighing, Alex continued to kick the ball down the hallway, outside of the bedrooms. Why they have so many guests rooms that no one stays in? She has no idea, but it's fun to jump on the multiple beds and causing headaches to many of her servants. In fact, if they keep giving her dirty looks, she might have to trash the rooms. Yeah, she might do that.
"Alex!" Alex's sister called, poking her head out from her room. "Why aren't you changed yet?"

"Huh?" Alex stopped kicking her ball, "What's up?"

"What up?! It's Boxing Day!"

"Boxing Day? Ok, And...?"

"There's a ton of sales! C'mon Alex we have to go shopping!"

Alex cringed at the word, 'shopping'. The simple word brought terror and disgust to her very soul. A cold shiver ran through her spine. She dreads what was coming next.
Alex picked up her ball and scratched her head, "Do I have to go?"

Alex's sister glared at her, a horrific glare, a glare similar to her's towards a specific cat. Scared, Alex chucked the ball at her sister's face and ran. The ball missed her sister and so she started to chase Alex.

"Hey little sissy~!" Her sister sang, "Do you realize what you just did?"

While running, Alex looked over her shoulder. Her sister was just a couple of feet away from her, there were flames in her eyes. When she noticed Alex was staring, the flames vanished and she giggled. Terrified for her life, Alex continued to run. Unfortunately, she didn't notice the small beige cat sleeping on the floor by the stairs. She tripped over the poor cat, and then toppled down the stairs. Alex was lying face down along with the cat on top of her. She groaned.

Her sister caught up to her and giggled. "Alex~" she grabbed Alex's arm, "We're going to the mall now."

And so, Alex's sister dragged poor Alex to the nearby mall.

The stores were extremely crowded and each and every one had a huge sale going on. Alex and her sister squeezed through the mob of shoppers. Her sister exited the crowed dazzling and shining while Alex was dishevelled and panting. Through the crowed she had been elbowed in the face several time, stomped upon, shoved, and even groped. Alex shivered. This was why she hates crowds.

"So..." Alex said once she caught her breath, "Are we going to split up or-"
Alex's screeched to a halt in her throat, making her choke as she was interrupted by her sister's icy cold glare. Seeing the pale face of her younger sister, the older one giggled in delight.
"Guess that's a no..." Alex trailed off.

They continued pushing through the crowd, surprisingly, Alex wasn't separated from her sister. They continued pushing when a boy ran through and knocked Alex down.

"I'm going to be late! No!"

"Dude! What was that for?" Alex turned around to see the boy's back scurrying off, his, blonde, short, curly hair disappearing into the mass crowd. "That's strange... He looks familiar."

What Alex thought was really strange was that he had big white rabbit ears. I mean, wouldn't some one notice his ears by now? Was he running from the police for being a pervert, Alex wondered.

"Alex what happened?" Alex's sister helped her up.

"Didn't you see? A boy bumped into me!"

"What boy? I was watching you the whole time, I didn't see any boy."

"B-but, he was right there," Alex stressed, pointing to the direction the boy disappeared off to, "People don't get randomly knocked down by nothing!"

"Maybe you're clumsy," her sister suggested before getting a dreamy (and a bit perverted) look on her face, "My little sister, clumsy." She burst into giggles creeping Alex out.

Alex sighed, "Never mind, forget it."

Alex's sister looked confused, but shrugged it off. She then gasped. "Look!"

"What?"

"The pets store is having a seventy five percent off animal food! Let's go!"

Alex's sister grabbed her hand and forced her into the shop.
"Alex stay here, I'm going to search for some cat food."

"You know, I can-" Alex cut herself off when she was the death glare her sister was giving her, "Never mind."

"Good," Her sister smiled before frolicking around the store.

Not having anything to do, Alex sat down on the floor by the puppies. Alex closed her eyes for a bit, then she felt something hit her feet. She opened her eyes to find a surprise, "SIR MEOWS-A-LOT?!"

Sir Meows-A-Lot nudged a small ball to Alex. Alex smiled and started playing with him. She threw the ball and every time Sir Meows-A-Lot will return it.

"Alex... Are you okay?" Alex looked up to see her sister staring at her strangely.

"Yeah, why?"

"You were just throwing that ball at the wall and smiling to yourself..."

"I was playing with Sir Meows-A-Lot."

"Mmhmm... Whatever you say. Anyways check this out," Alex's sister showed Alex her shopping basket. "There's this new cat food brand. I think it contains milk or something."

"ALEX SAVE ME!" A voice yelled,
Alex turned to the sound and saw Canada peeking out from behind a shelf.

"I'M LACTOSE AND TOLERANT!"

Alex raised an eyebrow, now questioning her sanity. She then turned to her sister and smiled, "You should get it."

"ALEX!"

Alex and her sister bought the cat food and walked out of the store, ignoring the helpless pleas from the poor cat-man who she was pretty sure was a fragment of her imagination.

"Alex, are you sure you're alright?"

"Yeah, I'm fine."

"Hey, maybe we should get you something to eat. How about that foreign restaurant? The one where the owners were from that country, Japan. I heard they sell a delicacy called sushi and that some of them are made of RAW FISH."

"But, isn't raw fish," her sister glared, "Ok, my wonderful sister. Your adorable little sister would love to go with you..."

The two went into a small sushi restaurant. Somehow, in this crazy mall, they managed to get a table for two. They sat across from each other. The waiter walked up and smiled, "What would you like to get?"

"I would like to get the roll that is cooked while my little sister her would like all your raw fish sushi."

Alex paled and turned to the waiter to complain, but then gasped. The waiter was wearing a grey kimono with matching mouse ears. "JAPAN?"

Her sister's eye twitched, "Alex..."

Alex looked at her sister and then looked back at the man. The man was just an ordinary waiter. The waiter was fidgeting awkwardly, "Um yeah, I'm from Japan..."

Embarrassed, Alex slammed her head onto the table. She kept her head on the table, "I'm going insane."

"How can... A... Pretty lady... Go... Insane...? Zzzzzz"

Alex immediately jerked her head up. Instead of her sister, she saw a handsome man wrapped in a sleeping bag. "Greece...?"
The man opened his eyes, gave a cute sleepy wink and then fell asleep.

"What's going on?!" Alex stumbled out of her chair and ran out of the restaurant.

The entire mall was deserted. Alex started to panic and was about to run when suddenly she was stopped by twins. "I still haven't finished my story yet!"

"Yeah~ the black rabbit right?"

"No!"

"The green rabbit?"

"No!"

"Okay, okay guys I have to go now so if you can just please let me run..."

Alex made a break for it but the twins and Canada appeared. Alex made another run but again, they appeared.

"Alice~," they called, creeping Alex out.

Suddenly the ground underneath her crumbled away, making her scream. Wind blew through her hair as she fell through the dark abyss. Down, down, down she goes, where to? Nobody knows.

Before long...

SLAM!

Alex's eyes snapped opened as her body rose before slamming into the ground as through her soul was snapped back into her body. She panted for a moment before yelping as the harsh daylight burned her eyes. Tears ran down her cheeks as she rapidly blinked her eyes to relieve the pain.

Once the pain subsided, she wiped the tears away and saw that She was in an open field surrounded by forests. Beside her was a sleepy beige cat-man sunbathing in the warmth. A dream? She thought before groaning. Just when she thought she had gotten rid of the pesky cat.

She was already being tortured by his constant presence during the journey, why does he had to haunt her dreams as well. Better yet, because of him, she dreamt of her sister. Alex shivered. "This is all your fault," Alex grumbled, glaring at the cat. She groaned, but flopped back down onto the ground.

"You will pay," Alex mumbled before falling back to sleep.
