Alice avoided Nightmare for the rest of the day. Although it wasn't hard because Nightmare was also trying to avoid Alice by doing his work in his room which he locked himself in. Alice decided that now would be an as good time as any to go explore the new landscape and see who all had made it to the land of clover. She decided her first destination would be the Hatters Mansion. Peter White would not let her go to the mansion if she were to go to the castle first. The trail was long and she felt like she had gotten lost several times along the way until she reached the gates.

"Onee-san!" called two voices. Alice looked up to see Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum running up to her. They wore their normal outfit of uniform, matching in every way except the color. Dee wore blue and Dum would always wear red. The two little boys were adorable to Alice, with their cute little hats and….

"Hey you two" she smiled. They tackled her with more force than they normally did, knocking the wind out of her. She opened her eyes to see two 20 year olds looking happily at her. She looked at them and saw that it was Dee and Dum.

"W-what?"

"We can grow big now, onee-san!" they said happily.

"B-big?" She looked them over. They still wore their color schemes but only the ties. They wore black suits with either a blue or red tie. Dee had his hair grown out where and Dum had his cut short.

"Yeah. What do you think?" Dum asked.

"I… I liked you better when you were smaller." She mumbled.

"Onee-san likes younger men?" Dee asked.

"N-no, it's just that-"

"Onee-san doesn't like us?"

"No. you're just so much cuter as kids." She said.

"Oh, ok." They changed back. "Now come on, I'm sure the boss will love to see you." Alice grimaced at the idea but the two children had already grabbed her and started pulling her to the mansion.

Alice quietly sipped her cup of tea along with Blood and Elliot. Blood Dupre was a tall man with long black hair, white suit, and a strange top hat. He was the Mafia boss. Elliot March was the second in command. He was one of the tallest men in Wonderland and had long orange hair and brown dog ears (actually rabbit but you wouldn't last long if you said that) sticking out of his head. A lot of the time Alice had to resist the urge to cuddle the fluffy ears.

"I'm so glad you made it to Clover safely!" Elliot said.

"Hmmm…? Oh… yeah…" she mumbled, taking another sip of her tea.

"Is something wrong, young lady?" Blood asked. Alice refused to look at him.

"No." She lied "I just miss Julius…"

"Hm. I see. The Clock Tower doesn't exist in Clover. So where are you staying?" Blood looked up at the girl.

"The Clover Tower." She muttered.

"Aww. Why don't you stay here?" Elliot asked. His ears flattened down.

"I'm not sure I would be too safe in the house full of people from the mafia." She said, hesitantly. "I mean Dee and Dum can now turn into adults. Very dangerous for a girl like me."

"I ask you to reconsider." Blood said calmly. He took a sip from his tea. "It's plenty safe here for you. And you would stay in my room with me so those two guards won't ever interfere with you."

"Nightmare might beg to differ." She mumbled.

"Oh yes… the incubus…. "

"If he tries anything your always welcome to stay here." Eliot added.

"Thanks but no thanks." She said, standing up. "I should probably get going. Don't want to be traveling at night." She said.

"Where are you going?" Blood asked.

"To the castle. I decided to come here first. But I really can't stay much longer. Thank you for the delicious tea." She smiled and left.

"Good bye young lady." Blood smirked.

She began to walk toward the direction she believed the castle to be. After a while she noticed that she had become completely lost. She sighed, how long will it take her this time to learn the way to places? Suddenly the bushes began to rattle and Ace fell out.

"Ace?" Alice asked.

"Alice!" he said jumping up to hug her. His brunet hair was short and spiked up and he wore a red coat. His red eyes matched his clothing perfectly. "I'm lost." He said.

"Me too…" She sighed.

"Maybe we can be lost together!" Ace suggested.

"Actually, I was hoping to get to the castle and back to the tower before night fall." She shrugged. "I think the castle is this way…" she mumbled. "How long have you been lost, Ace?"

"Maybe 4 or 5 days." He said scratching his head. Did he know about the move? Alice sighed. "Julius is probably angry, isn't he?" Ace asked.

"Urr… well… about that….." Alice said as she kicked the dirt. "We… uh… We moved… We are… no longer in the country of Hearts." Ace's mouth flew open.

"What?! No wonder I couldn't find the clock tower!" he yelled. He looked quite upset. "Well…. Guess I need to get to the castle, huh?" Alice nodded and took his hand and began to drag him in one direction. After walking for so long she finally found the maze entrance to the castle. A sigh of relief left her lips.

"Huh. You found it. Good job." He said as he walked into the maze. He didn't seem like his normal self though. Something was… off.

"Ace. Wait for me!" Alice said as she dashed after him.

"Alice!" She heard from behind her. "You made it to Clover!" Peter yelled behind her. She braced for impact as he jumped on her.

"Ow… Peter! Get off of me!"

"Did ya come to see me?" He asked.

"No. I came to see Vivaldi." She mumbled from under Peter.

"We are glad to see you are ok, Alice." Said a feminine voice.

"Vivaldi!" Alice said attempting to push the white rabbit off of her to stand up. Vivaldi was a beautiful woman compared to Alice. Her purple hair hung from her head in curls and the crown sat on the top of her head. Her dress was red and covered in heart shapes.

"Where have you been all this time?" Peter asked as he pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose. He wore a red jacket and a tie with a funny little clock design on it. His eyes were red like Ace's and his hair was white. He had rabbit ears (like Elliot) perched at the top of his head.

"Me? I have been staying at the Clover Tower." She announced. "But I'm afraid I can't stay here long. I don't want to travel around at night. Especially since the scenery changed."

"Why don't you spend the night?" Vivaldi asked.

"I'm sure Nightmare would be worried if I stayed out too-"

"Nonsense. He will live. Now come. Have a cup of tea with us. There is so much we should catch up on."

"I-I don't know…" Alice mumbled. Poof, Peter turned into a cute rabbit.

"Alice, pweeze stay da night?" he asked.

"Ok~" she said as she picked up the rabbit and carried him to the tea sight. Ace and Vivaldi rolled their eyes and led the way to the tea table.

Daww... I had to make Peter cute
