Chapter 9-
Pierce screamed at the top of his lungs. After getting out of the shower, tying a towel securely around his waist, and brushing his hair, the dormouse's ears fell off. Rushing out of the bathroom he bumped into a little girl, knocking both to the ground.
"I'm sorry, chu!" he yelled over and over again, crawling over to the girl, Edith.
That was when she looked up at him. Pierce was about two inches from her face. Now it was Edith's turn to scream.
Pierce winced and backed away from the girl.
"Get away from me you pervert!" she cried, pointing an accusing finger towards him.
"Wow! I never thought the mouse was the type to harass a little girl," a voice whistled from behind Edith.
Looking towards where the voice had come from, both found that Dee and Dum had walked into the hall.
"I think he was doing more than harassing her brother," Dum contradicted Dee's earlier statement.
The blue twin shrugged, not seeming to care. Then he looked at Edith and his eyes went wide. A slight blush ran across his face and he turned, walking back into his room, closing the door behind him.
Dum raised an eyebrow at Pierce. "Get lost mousy, or I'll get Boris after you."
With a squeak Pierce ran into his own bedroom.
Edith rose to her feet, brushing off tiny specs of dust on her dress. "You're my sister's friends too?" she asked Dum wearily.
The twin nodded. "My name's Dum, and my twin is Dee. What's your name?" he asked her.
"Edith." As she spoke she blushed lightly. "I-I better get going. Need to- um- clean my room!" With that she ran out down the hall.
Dum stood there silently, looking where she had disappeared into a door. With a sigh he asked no one in particular, "What's with everyone running away?"
At the Door
Alice and Peter had left Maggie and Gray standing outside the house's door. "Well, I guess I'll see you tomorrow at work," Gray mumbled awkwardly.
Maggie smiled a little smile. "Yep." She turned to leave then suddenly remembered something. "Oh! Gray!"
"Hmm?" he hummed. His eyes widened as the chef went up on her tip toes and pressed her lips to his cheek. As she pulled away he stared at her in wonder. "Why…?"
The chef spun around with her hands clasped behind her back. "Let's just say it's a thank you gift. For the ice cream."
Now it was Gray who smiled. It stretched widely across his face, and as his hand went to his cheek, it widened impossibly wider. This smile was one that could creep even the idiotic knight out.
I'm sorry I haven't been updating! Please don't be mad at me! I'll try to get another chapter up tomorrow too, if I'm not too busy wrapping Christmas presents. -.-
