Chapter 3: Girl Lesson #1

"LET ME OUT!" shouted Julius. He was tied up in the bloody twin's room and they were really showing off an evil aura.

"Aww Julius! Why do you have to be so loud?" said Dee with a teasing voice. He pulled out his knife and pointed it towards his forehead. "There's nothing to be afraid of!" said Dum, pulling out his knife as well and pointed it at his throat.

"I DON'T WANT TO DIE EARLY!" shouted the thirteen year old. Julius was panicking and he struggled but it didn't help. Dum started to push against his knife towards his neck. A small trickle of blood slid down his throat, making Julius go pale.

Right before they could do anymore damage to the young clockmaker, Elliot barged into the room.

"Who did you guys take this time?" yelled the hare. He had heard from several maids that the gatekeepers took a young boy into their room. Elliot's eyes went wide open. "JULIUS? Is that you?" he couldn't believe that Julius really did turn into a thirteen year old.

Julius was already pale and shouted at him. "YES! JUST GET ME OUT OF HERE!" More blood started to spill down.

"Oi! Stop doing that! You're gonna kill him!" Elliot already rushed over to the boy. The twins took their knives off of him and frowned at the hare. "Stupid sissy rabbit!" said Dee. "You always ruin the game!" said Dum. They both frowned again and left the room.

"Phew! You were really lucky this time Juli—" Elliot panicked and stopped talking because Julius already passed out. Elliot pressed against his neck to stop the bleeding.

"Great. . . now I have more work to take care of," mumbled Elliot as he dragged Julius into the kitchen to clean him up.

About 30 minutes later:

Julius's vision was all hazy. He moaned for a moment and woke up. "Ugh. . Where am I?" He shook himself to clear his head and looked around the room. It was an elegant office space with a desk piled up with four stacks of papers. Behind those stacks, was a hare. "Is that you. . . umm. .. Peter?" asked Julius. He was trying to remember his name.

Elliot sighed and groaned. "Do I really look like that idiot rabbit? It's me ELLIOT!" He really had a grudge against Julius for locking him up back then.

"Elliot?" Julius was confused. I didn't know that Elliot wasn't a rabbit…

Elliot put his pen down and pounded the table with his fists. "Yes it's me, Elliot! The guy you locked up for breaking his best friend's clock!" Elliot was reminiscing the day Julius locked him up. He was already seething with anger, but the thirteen year old boy still had no clue.

"I locked you up? I don't think that is possible considering I'm just thirteen years old," said Julius with a nonchalant tone. Elliot smacked his forehead. I forgot. . . he's thirteen, so he probably doesn't really remember anything. . . did he forget about Alice?

"Wait. . . don't you remember Alice?" Elliot was curious to see if the clockmaker had forgotten everything.

Julius blushed when Elliot said her name. "Umm. . . yes. . ," he mumbled. Elliot looked him suspiciously. "Where is she right now?"

"I left her. . I mean she's at the amusement park," Julius blushed even more. Elliot already figured out the boy. He was too easy to read. "Ohh… I see. . . Did you take her out on a. . you know. . . a date?"

Julius blushed and didn't respond. Elliot smiled. "Do you like Alice-chan?" Elliot added an unnecessary –chan at the end, but it made her sound cute, making Julius look down at the floor and blush even harder.

"Hahaha! Oh how it feels good to be young!" said Elliot with a laugh. He forgot his grudge against Julius for a moment.

Julius looked up at the laughing hare. "Elliot. . . do you know anything about. . . girls?" He said this so shyly. Elliot kind of jumped out of his seat. I'm not sure myself. . . the only experience I've had with girls was in high school when I dated two faceless girls. . . and when Alice came into Wonderland. . .

Julius looked up at the man with pleading eyes. Elliot gave in. "Fine! I'll help teach you about girls then."

Julius's eyes lit up with excitement and more color came to his face. "Really? So you're going to be my teacher on girls?" He was eager to impress Alice.

Elliot had a light tint of pink on his cheeks. He rubbed the back of his head. "Yeah, sort of. . " That was a good enough answer for the young boy. He actually smiled. "Thank you so much Elliot!" He went up to the hare and shook his hands up and down really fast. Elliot couldn't help but laugh and go with the flow. Maybe Julius isn't so bad after all. . .

"Your welcome, but first I have to finish up this pile of paperwork," he used his eyes to point at the four stacks of paperwork that Blood had dumped on him.

"Awww. . ." Julius looked so disappointed. Elliot sighed and couldn't help it. "Fine, why don't I give you a quick lesson on girls then."

Julius smiled. "Yes!" Elliot really found this unusual. Julius is the type who's gloomy, quiet, and doesn't really express happiness to everyone. But since this is for Alice, he must be really happy. This reminds me of my younger days. . . Argh! I feel like an old man….. (How old is Elliot?) XD

"Okay, then! Girl Lesson number one: girls love it when guys compliment them," said Elliot with a stern face on. (He tried to keep himself from smiling and laughing at Julius)

"Does that mean I have to lie?" Julius said with an innocent look on his face. Elliot blushed. "No, no! I mean like give her a compliment on her clothes or something. Be honest!" Julius thought for a moment. So it doesn't matter if the compliment is nice or not? This is weird. . but I'll go along with it. "Why are girls so complicated. . ."

"I don't know, just be honest to Alice!"

"I think I get it." He stared at Elliot. "Teach me more!"

"Argh! But I'm behind on paper work! Why don't you read this book?" He tossed a this thick book to Julius.

On the cover it said "7 Signs of a Young Healthy Relationship".

Julius blushed. "What am I supposed to do with this?"

"Read it while I'm finishing up paper work," said Elliot. He wasn't even looking at Julius. Julius sighed. "Fine…"

Elliot looked at him and gave a small chuckle.

Phew! I'm done writing! I felt really lazy today that I couldn't even concentrate on writing! XP Well, i hope this chapter was good... Now that Julius and Alice both have 'teachers' on girls and guys, what will the outcome of the lessons be? watch as the lessons continue on... next chpt: how do you kiss? taught by boris. .. bwahaha! XD

Thanks for reading and please review! ;D
