Chapter 6-

"Just go in. I have something I want to do and I don't need you two with me," Alice commanded as soon as she and her two companions got home.

Nightmare pouted. "Why?" he whined.

Ace grinned creepily. "I think I know what you're doing."

Alice rolled her eyes saying, "Whatever you're thinking, it's not it."

Both role holders sighed and walked into the mansion.

Turning around, Alice walked out of the gates. She was determined to help Gray with Maggie, and she had a brilliant idea. Sure, it might be slightly evil, but it'd work, as long as she was persuasive enough.

As she was thinking through her plan someone shouted, "Stay out! Don't come back!" Alice looked across the street to see Peter on the sidewalk, lying on his back, and an angry store keeper slamming the shop door closed.

With a sigh Alice crossed the street. "What did you do?" she asked him.

Peter stood up and tears formed in is eyes. "My darling Alice! I tried to get a job to help you but it's no use! Maybe it's because my only work has been at the palace," Peter cried, his ears not twitching like they usually would.

Alice, of course, noticed this. "Peter," she mumbled, reaching her hands up to his ears. "They're fake!" she shouted as the ears came off when she tugged at them.

The White 'Rabbit' blushed furiously. "I was sure they were real!" he yelled, mortified.

The brunette looked him straight in the eyes. "It's probably because in this world there's no such thing as people with animal ears. So, since you need to fit in here, they're fake." Then Alice remembered something else. "Turn around!"

"Wait! Why?" Peter screamed as he was forced around.

"A-ha!" Alice exclaimed happily and Peter turned back around to face her. In her hand was a white ball of fluff.

"My tail!" Peter, now, looked like he was about to pass out. Especially when Alice threw the ear headband and clip on tail into a nearby trashcan.

Walking into the café, Alice looked around. Then she spotted Maggie. "Hey! Maggie!" she yelled, somewhat jogging up to the chef behind the counter.

Maggie looked at her in wonder but smiled politely. "Yes? Who are you?" she asked.

Peter jumped into the store then. "Alice!"

Alice sighed. "Get off Peter!"

With a pout Peter released her from his back hug and walked away to sit at a table.

A little giggle sounded and Alice turned to see it had come from Maggie. "You two make a cute couple," the girl complemented.

Alice's nose wrinkled in disgust. "We're not together. Anyways, I have an offer."

Maggie's eyebrows rose slightly. She leaned over the counter and placed her head in her hands. "What might that be?" she inquired, a smirk appearing on her face.

"You and Gray. You have to go out with him to the amusement park. Today." Alice tried to make her voice persuasive.

The chef pursed her lips, thinking. After a second she asked, "What do I get out of it?"

Alice paused, she hadn't thought about this. "A happy employee?" she tested.

Another giggle came out of the chef. "Well, if it'll make him happy, and therefore my customers, then I guess I should." Maggie paused, her grin turning as evil as Ace's had earlier. It made Alice shudder. "On one condition."

Sighing, the blue eyed girl asked, "What condition?"

"If we make it a double date, and you go with him." At this Maggie pointed to Peter who was looking out the window. Her attention back to Alice she said, "Deal?"

Alice bit her bottom lip. She had promised herself to make Gray happy, but she hadn't expected Maggie to be this smart. With a sigh she said, "Deal."

Meanwhile-

Lorina sat on the kitchen floor, crying.

Blood walked in and stopped dead in his tracks as he saw Alice's older sister. "What are you doing?" he asked politely, trying not to upset the already depressed girl.

The oldest sister looked up with a tear stained face. A hiccup escaped from her mouth.

The hatter coughed. "Stop that. It's annoying."

Another hiccup.

Sighing, Blood walked over and crouched down next to the girl. Wiping a tear away he said, "It's not good for a girl to cry."

That was when a new person walked into the room. Blood and Lorina turned to see a blond head with blue eyes. It was Edith Liddel. Her face filled with surprise, twisted into one of anger as she shouted, "Get away from my sister!"

Seeing the little girl running straight for him, Blood's eyes widened. They widened even more when the girl's fist made contact with his face.

Haha Blood! That's what you get for being a jerk all the time. The next chapter, if it's not up today, should be up soon. I already have it planned out. ;) Well, I hope you liked it!
