Another long one!
Welcome to Dodo Academy for the Gifted!
Dance!
"NO." Alice deadpanned to the whole class, crossing her arms, deadly serious. "Absolutely NO."
"But, Aliiice!" Ace whined, jumping off his seat and grabbed the girl's shoulders. "What if they bully you? What if you get hurt?"
"Guys, it's just a freaking Hallowe'en Ball!" Alice rolled her eyes and sighed.
"Yeah, yes it is!" Boris puffed his cheeks. "The point is, it's held by Rich People's School, Alice!"
"Y-Yeah..." Pierce squeaked with a worried frown, "Wh-What if...i-if—if th-they try to p-poison you or..."
"Or mock you." Nightmare suggested.
"Or step on your dress." Ace added.
"Or spill a drink on your head." Boris nodded.
"O-O-Or—or b-brainwash you?" Pierce stuttered out.
The only girl in the small school stared at her classmates in disbelief. She then bursted out laughing. Her friends frowned at each other in confuse, while the girl was crying her eyes out.
"Hahaha—Oh man...hahaha! Y-You...you guys!" Alice slapped her knee. "You're acting like my older brothers or something! Haha! This is so funny!"
The boys froze. Julius, who had been silent in his spot, sighed.
"Alice, you are our sister, so we are your brother." The navy-headed Wallflower explained.
Alice stopped cackling and twitched as she stared around the class. "W-Wait...we're on that stage already? Brotherhood? Boy, that escalated quickly..." she awkwardly rubbed the back of her head. "Ohh! No wonder you guys get so nice to me! I'm your little sister...or something!?"
The boys facepalmed, Ace groaned, Pierce nodded shyly, Nightmare looked away. Gray was still asleep. Boris chuckled and came to pinch her cheeks.
"Oooh, you little...why are you so dense? Yeah, you're our sister, now, get it? So we'll protect you from anything!" he grinned, pinching and squeezing her cheeks.
"Buff...I fhought...if was juff a momffh...fince I've goff hee..." Alice said, letting Boris playing with her cheeks.
"A month is enough to bond and be brothers!" Ace pointed out, protectively pulling Alice away from Boris. "I can't let my beautiful princess get hurt, and I don't want to worry!"
"Dude, I thought she's supposed to be your 'beautiful sister', not 'princess'..." Nightmare twitched irritatedly.
"Okay, okay, I get it..." Alice sighed. "I'll not make you guys—I mean, my big bros worry." She pursed her lips.
The boys were startled. Big bro...did that make a big effect on them. Boris suddenly gulped and looked at the windows awkwardly, blushing. Alice then noticed Pierce, who looked down nervously, and she patted her head.
"Oh yeah, you're younger than me! That means you're my little brother, huh?"
Pierce's eyes widened, blushing hard. "Li-Little..B-Brother...!? Um...I...C-Can I...?"
"Of course!" Alice laughed, and then put her hands on hips. "Okay, I'll be fine and I'll make sure to stick around with Elliot..."
The boys turned at her again in confuse.
"I'll not be alone with RPS students, and I'll try to find Vivy so maybe she'll protect me..."
Wait...what!?
"Then I'll dance with Elliot until the Ball is over, he'll take me home, and everything ends up well!"
"Alice! You're still going!?" Ace grimaced.
"Of course...! In addition I'll just get safe—NO, I'm going!" she dangerously glared at Boris. "I'm going no matter what. It's a promise! I'm Elliot's friend! If I break a promise...then I'm not a good friend..."
"Alice, as your big bro I forbid you!" Ace scolded her, and Alice was shocked. "This is for your own good! Listen to me and do what I say! You're not going tonight!"
The girl trembled. "Wh-Why...I'm...I'm not listening to you!" she stubbornly crossed her arms and looked away, puffing her cheeks.
Nightmare grumbled at himself, Boris facepalmed, and Ace continued to whine. Alright, since when this turned into a drama?
"Boys, leave your sister alone. She's ten years old, it's time for her to choose her own friends and experience social life for her age." Gray suddenly woke up, and everyone froze as they listened to him. "Think of your sister's feelings. If you were her, I'm sure you don't want to be caged by your brothers, right? She's a big girl, she can take care of herself..."
Alice started to sob and ran to Gray for a hug. "Daddy, you're the best! So...Can I go?"
Gray sighed lazily, patting the girl's head. "Yes, yes, my daughter, you may go..."
"BLEH!" she stuck out her tongue to the other boys and skipped out of the class.
The boys watched her left, and then turned at Gray, their faces were priceless.
"What the...since when...?" Boris twitched.
"You're her father!?" Ace gasped.
"S-Since...she's our sister...then...you're our father too!?" Pierce looked terrified.
Nightmare just stared at his brother-in-law, who stared back sleepily. "Bro, I hope you know what you're doing..."
Gray huffed at him. "Of course I know...I've got a big plan up my sleeves...and it's...Zzz..."
The boys gasped. "Skittles! Somebody get Skittles!" Ace shrieked.
"Here, Skittles!" Pierce frantically snatched a bag of Skittles from his desk's locker and passed it to Boris, who quickly stuffed a handful of the colorful candies into Gray's mouth.
Gray started munching and opened his eyes. "Mm...yeah...where was I?"
"A Big Plan up Your Sleeves!" the boys chorused.
Gray nodded and then pointed at Pierce and Nightmare. "You two aren't coming."
"O...Okay..." Pierce nodded, half-relieved, half-disappointed.
"I see, bro." Nightmare nodded understandingly. He was still learning to walk, he'd be a hindrance.
"Monrey, what about you?" Gray asked.
Julius suddenly stood up from his seat with his books, shaking his head. "I have my own plans. See you tomorrow, brothers..." he left the class.
"So, bro—I mean...Dad ...What's the plan?" Boris asked.
Gray twitched. "Please, let Alice be the one calling me 'Daddy'. You're freaking me ou—Zzz..."
"SKITTLES!"
~.X.~
Vivaldi was blushing, fiddling her red rose dress uncomfortably, glancing around. She hated dress! This one, particularly. She bought it from ebay, it was a costume of the Queen of Heart from Alice: Madness Returns. She hated the ruffles around her neck, the many layers of the maxi skirt, and the ruffles on her wrist, the puffy shoulders...
"Ooh, Vivy! You're a Queen this year! Usually you goes wearing a Frankenstein costume or Grim Reaper!" her classmates cooed.
She scoffed. "Leave me alone, Bella."
"Pfft! Does this mean...you've got a date this year?" Bella Geese mocked, waving her angel costume. "Oh! It's an idiot from Dodo Academy, isn't it?" she mocked again, and everyone laughed.
Vivaldi gritted her teeth. "Leave me the fuck alone or I'll rip your head off, fucker." She deadpanned.
Bella looked pale for a second, and was about to retort, but then a dash of black robe startled her.
"Sorry for the wait." She heard a whisper.
Beside Vivaldi now, was...a person, wearing black robe and leather hat, cosplaying Van Hellsing, offering arm.
"Dude, you're killing me." Vivaldi sighed in relief and took his arm.
Bella gaped. "Y-You're...wh-who are you!?" she blushed while stuttering.
"This is my partner. Fuck. Off. Geese." Vivaldi deadpanned and swiped away from them with her partner.
"Man, he's handsome!" a girl squealed.
"He's...he's totally bishounen!" A boy scoffed.
Bella twitched. "I...I can't accept this!"
Vivaldi sighed and then turned at her partner after they got quite away from her classmates. "You okay wearing this, Al?"
"Nah, it's fine." Alice grinned, pulling down her hat, hiding her eyes. "They really think I'm a boy?"
"Totally! So fucking awesome! Awww damn, you're so fucking cute..." Vivaldi sighed, pinching the blonde's cheeks. "If only you're really a boy...You'd totally be my first boy friend! Wait! Did you...you cut your hair!?"
Alice shook her head. "Nah, I hid my hair up in this hat. And...look..." she showed the inside of her robe. It was a soft, lolita dress. "This is Julius' plan...but Grandma insisted me to wear this lolita...oh well. Viv...? You okay?"
Vivaldi was glaring at her emptily. "Fuck...I really wish you're a boy right now..."
"Oh man, this is awkward..."
"Alright, for the first song, let's welcome our newcomer performers! The Jokers...with Linkin' Park's...In The End!" the MC announced, and everyone in the main hall clapped and cheered.
Alice froze and turned. "Whoa, those are...Black and White!?"
"Yeah..." Vivaldi shrugged. "I got a job to handle the bands, so I paid them to perform. They're pretty good..."
White snickered at the younger audiences. A girl shrieked and threw a rose to him. He caught it and turned, suddenly the rose was gone, replaced by a microphone. Black jumped onto the stage without bringing anything, but then, he turned cooly for once, and magically was already holding a guitar, and he stood before the standing microphone, while the piano played.
White started; "It starts with—"
"—One thing, I don't know why. It doesn't even matter how hard you try. Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme to explain in due time." Black did the rap smoothly.
"Elliot's not here yet?" Alice asked as she started to take Vivaldi's hand and waist casually.
"Nah, he's probably going to your place, and then he got here alone, trying to find you." Vivaldi put her hands behind Alice's neck, and they started to bounce in rhyme.
The main hall of Richford Private was very wide, and it was dark, only brightened by the purple disco ball, and the big lava lamp gleaming on the stage.
Everyone were wearing costumes, dancing and bouncing like Alice and Vivaldi did.
"I tried so hard, and got so far..." White sang loudly. "In the end, it doesn't even matter! I had to fall to lose it all...in the end, it doesn't even matter..."
"He's not bad." Alice commented.
Vivaldi scoffed. "I still think that Airay kid is better. He's got very fine voice, comparable to Adam Levine's Maroon 5, you know? ...Don't tell this to him, I'll fuckin' kill you."
"Nah," Alice chuckled. "He knows about it. You sure you'll ever kill me?"
Vivaldi grinned. "I don't think I can. You're too cute right now."
~.X.~
Boris and Ace whined as they finally found Alice on her own, trying to get a drink.
"Man, this is...she's so lame!" Boris whined in frustration. "She's going to a freaking ball...and she's dressing like a freaking boy!? So unfair!"
"Aww...I thought I'd finally see Alice wearing a dress..." Ace sighed and turned, knocking off chairs in the process.
"Ace, can't you stop knocking everything!" Boris grimaced.
"This place is stuffed, I can't help it!"
"You two, calm down..." Gray sighed. "Look..." he pointed at Alice, who was approached by two girls.
The three were cosplaying as Three Musketeers, wearing curly wigs and each of them were holding a fake one-handed sword, and they also wear fake mustaches. They bowed lower behind the balloon arch and observed their 'sister'.
"Hey..." the girls grinned at Alice, who turned at them nonchalantly.
"Hi."
"You're Vivy's date, huh? You're pretty cute..."
"THEY'RE HITTING ON 'ER!" Ace and Boris were enraged, but then Gray pulled them back with his hands on their shoulder.
"You two gotta shut the fuck up." Gray threatened dangerously. "Or I'll kill you two with barehands and I'll never let you be my daughter's brothers."
"Y-Yes sir..."
Gray must be so annoyed by the girls too, he was glaring and he just cursed!
"Nah, I'm just her friend." Alice said in a low voice, don't want to be heard clearly.
"I'm Bella, and this is Trixie. What's your name?"
"Call me Al." Alice blinked and tilted her head. "Do you want to take a drink?"
"No...! We want to know you better~!" Bella giggled gigglishly, trying to get cute, fiddling her fingers. Trixie kept on curling the end of her golden blonde hair, batting her eyelashes at Alice.
"Why'd you want to date Vivy? She's so...well, you know her. Don't take me badly, just wanna know~"
"I'm not dating her." Alice twitched. Why are girls so weird? Wait, she's a girl too! "It's just that, the boys here were too scared of her. Actually, Vivy is a nice girl."
"Oh yeah, she's very nice!" Bella laughed nervously. "But she's a bit weird, you know? She's...she skipped our Class' Culture Festival Stand! And you know for what? To visit a school for weird kids!"
Ace was biting his lower lip, his hands fisted angrily. Boris teeth were gritted, unconsciously squeezing a balloon. Gray just watched expressionlessly.
"Oh, that's very interesting..." Alice looked surprised. "I don't know...that...Vivy is so nice...she's very kind to visit them!" the faking-blond sighed. "Maybe I should ask her out tonight...She's pretty, she's strong, she's kind...she's like an angel, isn't she? That's why I really like her!"
Ace and Boris wanted to scream ; "HAH!" as they saw Bella and Trixie's face fell miserably.
The two girls laughed. "Ahaha! Yeah, she is! B-But you know? Yesterday...I uh...went to an Orphanage! It's so fun in there...um...so many poor kids without parents..."
Alice frowned in disbelief. "Oh my God...how can you think it's fun when the kids around your are poor and parentless? That's horrible! They're so sad...and you think it's fun...?"
"Um...I mean...We..."
"I gotta go..." Alice smiled politely at them. "I'm not really interested with girls who have fun when others suffer...Farewell, ladies..." she bowed and pulled her hat gentlemanly while stepping away, leaving the girls shocked, sad and totally head over heels.
"I'm...I'm...! T-Trixie..." Bella then started crying to her friend's shoulder.
"I know...there, there, Bella..."
"Haha! Alice you're so cool!" Ace laughed happily.
"Yeah, that hit pretty bad!" Boris grinned ever so widely.
"I'm such a sinner, Trixie! I'm such an evil person! He'll never like me!" Bella kept crying.
"Oh, Bella...there's a lot of boys out there..." Trixie hushed her.
"No! I want him! I want Al! I'm...I'm going to be a good girl...I'm going to be like Vivy, and I'll ask him out!" Bella sworn to herself.
BANG
The two jumped as a balloon just blasted. Boris, Ace and Gray hid in time and hyperventilated, glancing at each other. Boris stared at his hands, that just squeezed a balloon until it blasted.
"Alright...this is bad...now a girl wants our sister as a boy friend!" Boris grimaced in horror.
"I'm gonna tell those sissy prats!" Ace roared and tried to stand up, but Gray and Boris had taken him down to the floor.
"It doesn't matter now! We have to find her and Vivaldi!" Gray sighed and dragged the two.
~.X.~
The party continued, and Black was singing the rap part of a song;
"Yea, here we go for the hundredth time. Hand grenade pins in every line. Throw'em up an' let somethin' shine. Goin' out of my fucking mind..."
"There she is...quick, don't lose her!" Boris commanded as they saw Alice's black robe was sweeping the floor.
Ace paused as he heard a dialogue.
"Look at that prat..." a boy sneered, glancing at where Alice went. "He's dating that Vivaldi crap. What the hell is wrong with him?"
"Totally." Another boy sighed, rolling his eyes. "He must be the biggest weirdo ever. Or he's got a lot of gut..OR, she paid him because she's actually a lesbian, and then...that Al prat must be a gay!"
"Hahaha! Totally, dude! That's so funny—UGH"
SMACK
"Stop mocking her, you useless prats!" Ace just knocked out an RPS student.
Gray and Boris froze in their spot.
Ace just knocked him.
Ace just knocked a freaking RPS student.
"Dude, the hell is wrong with you!? Who the hell are you anyway!?" the other boy hit Ace on his shoulder challengingly.
"Just shut your trap and stop saying things you don't know, dumbasses!" Ace glared.
Gray and Boris were praying out loud as the other audiences were staring at them too. Oh why in the freaking Hell did they chose the similar costumes!?
"Hah! What? Are you, like, crushing on Vivy or something?" a boy scoffed mockingly. "What a crazy type, dude! So creepy! You're liking a girl who's dating a gay!"
"THAT'S IT, YOU'RE GOIN' DOWN!" Ace roared and jumped to tackle the boy and they started to roll on the dance floor, hitting and kicking.
"I bleed it out, digging deeper just to throw it away! I bleed it out, digging deeper just to throw it away! I bleed it out, digging deeper just to throw it away! Just to throw it away! Just to throw it away!" White sang in high spirit, smirking as he saw the fight, and how the audiences were clapping to the rythm.
Yeah, now this is what a Back Ground Music called!
"Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!"
"Hit 'im! Kick 'im!"
Alice sighed. "Those idiots...Damn, what do I do?" she asked Vivaldi, who was sucking her smoothie nonchalantly.
"Let 'em fuck themselves out and die." Vivaldi scoffed. "What fucking idiots they are, cosplaying Three Musketeers and following you here..."
"Hehe," Alice grinned. "They're just being my brothers. I just don't believe it that Gray gets so stupid...why the hell he's taking Ace?"
"Gray, that idiot who said I'm not a girl!?" Vivaldi grimaced angrily. "I so fuckin' hate him for that! Let's go and talk to the Jokers, rather than watching idiots."
"Okay~"
The two then slipped into the back of the stage, right when Black came down, wiping his sweat off his slender neck. White followed him behind and his eyes fell to Vivaldi and Alice.
"Hey, Miss Dupre. The party is on fire!" he laughed. "Did you invite those RPU boys?"
"Hell no!" Vivaldi rolled her eyes. "They're following her!" she pointed her thumb to Alice, who grinned and pulled up her hat.
"Hey, White. Black, too! Do you recognize me?" she blinked.
Black and White gaped. White was the one who recovered quick.
"Alice...is that you?"
"Bingo!"
Black twitched. "What the...why the fuck...this is crazy...I thought...why the fuck are you dressing like a fucking boy!?" he asked incredulously.
Alice stared at him. "This is Julius' plan. He said that some students here, from Blood's class already know me. Julius is worried that I'm getting bullied if I come."
"Why do you come?" White asked, raising his eyebrows, then gazed at Vivaldi, who shook her head.
"No, I'm just being her guide here. Elliot invited her." Vivaldi shrugged.
"Huh?" Black scoffed mockingly. "Why'd a rich Prince asking out thise freaky chestless girl?"
Alice twitched. "What's your problem, dude!? I'm just ten! I don't want boobs anyway! They're jigglish and looks heavy!"
Black blushed at her honest response, while White cracked up laughing.
"Haha, Alice, when you get to be a girl around our age, you'd want to have boobs so bad." White snickered.
Black groaned, blushing and looking away. "Why the fuck are we talking about boobs anyway!?"
"Black, you're red." White pointed out. "I never knew you're such a kid. You're embarrassed from saying boobs!"
Black twitched again. "I'm not embarrassed saying that!"
"Saying what?" Vivaldi joined, grinning devilishly.
"THAT!"
"Can't you say it?" Alice blinked in confuse. "It's just boobs!"
Black's face turned into deeper shades of red. "St-Stop it!"
White and Vivaldi glanced at each other and smirked evilly.
"Boobs!" White said.
"Boobs!" Vivaldi chirped. Black was sweating and red.
"Oi! Stop! Stop saying it!"
"Boobs! Boobs! Boobs! Big boobs! Round boobs! Perky boobs! Pink boobs! Tanned boobs!"
"Stahp you sons of bitches!" Black clamped his ears and frantically tried to walk away.
But then, by the trick of fate, his feet tripped over Alice's long robe and he fell.
"Oh fuck—" Black grimaced and grabbed the girl's shoulder. Alice gasped as Black was taking her down with him.
"Whoa!"
"Ouch dammit!"
"...Man, this is awkward." Vivaldi finally said after a long silence.
"Totally." White nodded solemnly.
Alice just stared at Black, who was straddling her on top, their noses touched. Black managed to hold himself from completely crashing the younger girl, holding himself up with his arms. He was beyond embarrassed, his brain was haywired, and worse, his arms were turning into jelly.
"Uh, dude, you should get off me." Alice suggested.
Black was still freezing, glaring at her, mouth opened.
"Dude...? Black...?"
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING ON TOP OF MY SISTER!?" a high-pitched shrieked shocked the whole backstage, and instantly shocked Black, whose arms snapped and he completely fell on top of Alice.
...
"Oh, Lorina Liddell." Vivaldi turned at the woman who just came, still shocked in front of the door, staring at Alice and Black on the floor. "You're up next...hello? You there...?"
"Viv...I think she won't budge..." White nervously said. "Did you just said Lorina Liddell?"
Black, meanwhile, was completely on error-state of mind. Okay, this is totally weird. This is...this...He's...
Alice coughed and turned at her side, then put her finger to feel her lips and stared at it. "Argh! Black, you just bit my lips! Look here! It's bleeding!" she pointed at her bleeding lips.
...
"W-Wait...no! No dammit!" Black frantically backed off. "I didn't!"
"But they're bleeding! I felt your teeth when you crashed on me!" Alice argued, wanting Black to apologize.
"I didn't kiss you, fucking damn—"
"...WHAT...did you just do...to my sister...?" Black froze again as he felt a hand on top of his head. The red-head tilted his head up to see a beautiful woman, smiling coldly, murderously down at him, she had the same dark blonde hair as Alice, curling on her sides.
Vivaldi and White hid their eyes with their palms.
"Oh God, there's going to be blood..."
"Poor brother..."
~.X.~
Blood crossed his arms, tapping his leather black boots, glaring at the three Dodo Academy Students in front of him demandingly. Elliot frowned pricelessly beside them, needing a long explanation.
"Okay, just why the hell are you three in my school's party?" Blood deadpanned.
"We're following Alice." Gray sighed.
Blood then glanced at Elliot. "So you invited her." He coldly muttered.
"Yeah, I did...I thought I've said I'd pick her up! But she's already here?" Elliot looked entirely confused, squeezing the inside of his suit's pocket. He was wearing a noble suit with blood marks here and there, and a vampire teeth set.
Blood was wearing a noble suit too, with black wings, fake long fangs and punk rock armband, he looked like a demon ready to drag the three prats before him to hell.
"She's disguising herself as Vivaldi's partner." Boris explained. "So the other students won't recognize her. But then, Ace heard some boys were mocking your sister, saying that she's paying a gay to date her or something...Ace got mad because they're saying that Alice is gay..."
Blood glanced away. He was rather irritated because he knew the guys in his school didn't like his little sister. A part of him was amused to know that Ace beat those craps.
"And our amazing guest to end this night! Lorina Liddell...! Oh look! She has a surprise for us! She's bringing her little brother!"
The boys turned to the stage, and some girls rushed past them, squealing.
"Oh God! Al is Lorina's brother! I'm so gonna go for her!"
"He's so cool and bishie!"
Blood and Elliot twitched.
"Hello dear Students of Richford Private's...! I'm so happy to be here..." Lorina spoke on the stage, all smile. "I'm very surprised to see my little sist—brother to be here!" she covered with a giggle. "I'm thanking Miss Vivaldi Dupre to have accompanied her—him in this party..." she waved to Vivaldi, who blushed and nodded as the students clapped their hands for her.
"...And before I sing, I want to let my brother sing for us!" Lorina announced with a beautiful grin.
The girls shrieked happily, readying their camera.
Elliot flinched in the spot, while the boys turned, curiously.
"Hey, I've never heard Alice sing before!" Ace laughed.
"This is gonna be awesome! She's gonna be so good, she's Lorina's sister after all!" Boris looked excited.
"We've gotta stop her!" Gray deadpanned and rushed away with Elliot, frantically running and knocking or stepping on anyone, they didn't freaking care!
All they cared was...
They had to stop Alice from singing!
"Me? Singing? For real?" Alice smiled widely, excited.
"Of course, honey!" Lorina giggled, and suddenly, while blushing, she hugged her. "Aww you look so handsome tonight! I'll marry you if you're not...my s—brother!"
Alice received the microphone and the music started to play. She walked to the front of the stage and took a deep breath.
"OLD MCDON—OOFF!"
"Got her!" Gray yelled frantically, pushing Alice down to the wooden stage.
"I've got the microphone!" Elliot frantically held up the microphone, and then he high-fived with Gray.
"Mission accomplished!" they nodded, completely oblivious with the whole school gaping and freezing at the two's sudden attack.
"Aww man...just one song...!" Alice whined.
~.X.~
"Elliot, what took you so long?" Alice asked, frowning.
"I went to pick you up, remember?" Elliot smiled and offered a hand to the girl, as they walked out to the schools' garden. Lorina was behind them, laughing.
"You've got many friends, and they're all funny, Alice. I'm surprised that you caught Prince Elliot's attention..." Lorina cooed, and it was Elliot who blushed, rather than Alice.
"I come because I heard you're singing here!" Alice grinned at her big sister, and hugged her with one arm, before taking Elliot's hand. "But my brothers ruined everything." She pouted at the three, who walked beside her.
"Aww, we're just trying to protect you!" Boris grinned guiltily. "But I don't understand...why'd Elliot and Gray stopped her from singing?" he frowned.
"Yeah, I wanna hear her!" Ace puffed his cheeks.
"NO." Elliot and Gray deadpanned quickly.
"I mean...it's...uhh..." Elliot awkwardly started.
"Her voice is the song of Doomsday, despair and death, and should not be heard for the world's sake." Gray deadpanned seriously.
"O-Okay...since you looks serious...but...I'm surprised that you're not sleeping at all." Boris pointed out.
"Yeah, Gray's kinda nocturnal." Alice grinned, and looked back. "Oh, it's Scarecrow and Vivy!"
The others turned as they saw Blood and Vivaldi walking out of the building. Vivaldi ran to them while Blood cooly walked, crossing his arms.
"Yo! You should take that off, now that no one's here beside us." Vivaldi grinned, nodding to Alice's robe.
Gray, on the other hand, his eyes were never as wide as then. His gaze never left Vivaldi at all. The girl, her purple hair was curled into pretty rings and clipped, unlike how she usually had them straight. Her milky skin wrapped in the Royal Red dress...
"The fuck are you looking at." Vivaldi deadpanned at him.
"Uhh...I just realized you have a beauty spot." Gray awkwardly pointed out. Actually he had noticed that the first day he saw her.
Vivaldi kept staring at him, but then sighed and turned at Alice. "Come on! I wanna see the dress!"
"Hehe, I'll go there and sing a song for you to dance." Lorina ruffled her sister's hair and walked to the orchestra on the garden's side.
"Fine, fine...this costume is awesome though! Ace, here!" Alice stuffed her western hat onto Ace's head, revealing her hair that was done in a french braid. She then noticed that the boys were staring.
"Okay, why are you staring?"
"I wanna see!" Ace honestly said. "I've never seen you wearing a dress! Your hair looks like a Medieaval Princess, Alice. So beautiful..." he grinned.
Boris twitched and blushed at Ace's boldness.
"There, look? Grandma's really weird sometimes." Alice sighed as she showed off her black and white lolita dress, ruffles and ribbons everywhere.
"Kyaaaah! So cuuute!" Vivaldi squealed and squeezed the girl in a bear hug. "Alice, as your mother, I want you to wear these lolita stuff more! So cute! So cute!"
"Dude, she's weird when she's acting like a girl!" Ace grimaced nervously.
"No kidding." Boris cringed.
"She's...cute..." Gray muttered, blushing as his eyes kept on gazing Vivaldi, who was smiling and giggling.
"Alice, my princess, will you dance with me?" Ace was already kneeling, but then Alice laughed at him.
"No, I'm not dancing with my brother! Besides...my prince is waiting here." She grinned at Elliot, who smiled, despite he was blushing, and offered a hand.
"So, will you dance with me, Hime-sama?"
"What do you think I'm coming here for? Let's go!" Alice laughed and took his hand, but then noticed Blood was there, staring at her with his green orbs. "Enjoy the party, Scarecrow!" she nodded to Blood.
Blood's eyes widened and he quickly glanced away, shoving his hands into the pockets, starting to walk away. He secretly glanced to watch the couple dancing and laughing. Elliot looked so mesmerized and happy. His amethyst eyes gleaming with warmth. He must really liked that prat, Alice.
Blood then stared at the girl's friends. Boris was sitting around Lorina, listening and admiring the singer's beautiful voice. Ace just sat on a bench and hung his head with his hands, staring at Alice and Elliot dancing. Blood looked a bit surprised when that boy, Gray Ringmarc, approached his sister.
"Hey." Gray said.
"What?" Vivaldi deadpanned at him.
"I'm sorry." He suddenly said to his shoes. "Remember when I said you're not like a girl? I take it back."
"Dude, that's weird." Vivaldi scoffed bitterly. "You're the first, though." She playfully slapped his back, and then offered a hand. "Alright, stop being awkward. Let's dance, dumbass..."
Blood smiled to himself and pushed the door to the main hall. He stole one last glance to the garden. Look at those idiots, having fun in other people's garden as if it was theirs...
Suddenly the door was pushed back ward, and White appeared, surprised to see Blood.
"Hey, young Mr. Dupre. Oh, Black, there she is!" White laughed and pointed at a certain blonde-girl dancing in the garden. "Aww man, she's already dancing with that Prince-kid or something! Too bad, you can't ask her..."
"You fuckin' stupid or something!?" Black slapped White across his head. "Holy fucking crap, I thought that Lorina bitch almost killed me..." he sighed dreadfully. "Just imagine what she'd do to me if I ask her little sister for a dance! You want me dead, or what?"
White chuckled. "Oooh~ So you actually want to ask her to dance...? Wow, Black..."
"Wh-What the...Oh shut the fuck up, damn it. Let's get home! Oh yeah, you dude!" he turned at Blood, who had been walking into the hall. "Tell your sister to send the money to our account. She'd better not forget..." he shrugged and then dragged his older twin away from peeking the garden.
Blood frowned in confuse, then rolled his eyes, deciding to get a girl for a dance. "Damn...that girl is friends with the weirdest people..." he muttered to himself.
If that's the case, was he weird enough to be her friend...?
N-Not that he's desperate or anything...
...Well, maybe.
