Oz had told Alice everything. Everything she needed to know. And he remained silent while looking at Alice, who was taking everything in.

"I-I can't believe it… I just can't," Alice started, getting teary-eyed once more. "That Lacie being my mother… and someone named Revis as my father… how he used her in his experiment… seaweed head… Vincent… everything that happened… how…!" she continued, her eyes getting brimmed with tears.

"But most of all, my one and only… my beloved 'rabbit', killing me… you, Oz… so… I've already known you since long ago?" Alice asked, looking at Oz.

"I'm afraid that's the case, Alice," Oz said, looking down. It wasn't easy for him to accept the situation now, so he understood what Alice was feeling. But what he's afraid of right now… was Alice hating him for hurting her in the past.

"S-Since I killed you, Alice," Oz stated, wincing at the mere mention of the word 'killed', "Perhaps you could just… get me now, right? Or kill me off? Just do whatever you have to do with me, Alice… because this is all my fault. So… go ahead."

"W-What? What are you saying, Oz?" Alice asked, looking at him again.

"Well, since you managed to become B-Rabbit without the seal, so… perhaps you can do it again, yes?" Oz replied in a sad tone.

Suddenly, for an unknown reason, Alice was back to her old self once again. She stood up and went to Oz, with both hand on her waist.

"So you're suggesting that I'll… I'll kill you? Are you still that stupid?" Alice shrieked.

"Wha..? No, It's just that—"

"Listen to me, manservant, and listen good," Alice said, gripping the arms of the chair Oz was sitting on, showing superiority, "What you told me are memories, right?" Oz nodded quickly in agreement.

"Therefore, that means to say it already happened. Whatever happened in the past… there's nothing more I can do about it! That's why I can't do anything to fix it! Because it happened already, I can't just go back and 'change the past'!"

"Also… even if you did kill me," Alice continued, "I won't give a damn about it! No matter what you did to me in the past, you're still someone precious to me. And yet you're suggesting me to kill you! Are you insane?" Alice said, tears forming in her eyes. "Heck, I'd rather have the truth shoved in my face a million times," she continued, blushing a bit, "than lose the most precious person in my life! And I… I…"

"Alice, you…" Oz said, blushing, "You actually have feelings for me?"

"Eh?" Alice said, turning innocent once again. "Is that the one Sharon told me about?" she asked, tilting her head in curiosity.

"Huh?" Oz asked, confused. Then the image of Sharon's 'Bible of Romance' came into his mind. "I guess… you're absolutely right, Alice," he replied with a genuine smile on his face.

"Then, let's make another contract, Oz!" Alice said, beaming.

"What?" Oz asked, quickly sensing the sudden change of the subject. Alice sure knows how to switch from innocent to hyped.

"A contract!" Alice beamed. "That way, I'll have proof showing that we are to stay together, no matter what!" Alice shouted, one hand pointing up. "So, what do you say? Do you agree with me or not?" Alice asked, extending her hand to him.

Oz smiled once again, and answered her, "Yes, Alice."

"Then, it's settled! Contract signed!" Alice grinned. "Good job, manservant!"

"Nope, it isn't yet," Oz interrupted, grinning mischievously, "There's still one thing missing."

"Eh?" Alice asked, confused once more, "What now?"

"This." And with that said, Oz pulled her hand and took her in for a kiss.

That's it, people! I hope you enjoyed it! *jumps out of the box*
