Welcome to Dodo Academy for the Gifted!
Dangan Ronpa by Spike Chunsoft
Preposterous!
Boris narrowed his eyes, as well as Ace, glancing at each other as they stood before Grandma Anne's house. The two then crossed their arms and turned to each other.
"What the heck, Ace?"
"No, no, no, no, no, Boris, Boris, Boris, you should talk!" Ace bounced, waving his fists frantically. "What, what, what are you doing heeere!?" he then gasped and pointed an accusing finger at the exhibitionist; "You're trying to woo princess, aren't you!"
Boris twitched. "You should talk, idiot. I always play here after school!"
Ace gasped again. "preposterous! This is outrageous! A conspiracy against me! Boris Airay's taking his own pace and try to swoop our princess, despite our brotherly oath!" he shook his head frantically. "No, no, no! The others won't be amused! Boris, how dare you!"
Boris groaned in frustration, but then the door was opened by Grandma Anne, who seemed surprised.
"Oh, Boris! And what a surprise, Ace..." she smiled warmly. "If you're looking for Alice, she's already gone with Pierce to the Adrenaline Park."
"...WHAT!?"
Grandma Anne flinched at how shocked the two boys are. As if a thunder had bolted behind their backs, Boris and Ace had their eyes widen in shock.
Boris shivered in wrath, his eyes dark; "That prat...how dare he...!"
"Traiiitoooor!" Ace dashed away like a jet.
"Ooooii! Wait for meee!" Boris followed suit, both of them running to the direction where the Adrenaline Park was.
Grandma Anne giggled, and Einstein poked out his head under her arm.
"Eep, eep, oo?"
"Yeah, Einstein...I guess our Jellybean will be courted by many handsome men..." Grandma Anne sighed dreamily. "This reminds me of my old days...back then...I was courted by twenty pirates!"
"Ooo!? Eeek!"
"I'll tell you about it when Alice is with us. It's really amazing! Twenty pirates...And I chose a sailor!"
~.X.~
"Hmm..." Alice hummed as they were walking through a corridor filled with mirrors. "How do you spell your name again? Eve? Ib?"
"Um...either way is fine."
"Ib is shorter to write. Ib it is then." Alice decided, and stopped walking. "This is just an attraction, right? The ghosts couldn't possibly kill us, right?"
Pierce and Ib exchanged worried stares.
"Well...I-I guess? B-But we still have to g-get out of h-here..." Pierce whimpered. "A-And Samara...a-and Grunt...th-they're still scary..."
Ib sighed. "I wish...Garry's here...He'd known what to do..."
Alice raised her eyebrows and put her hands on top of both kid's head. "It's okay. I'm the oldest, so I'll take care of your guys. Now, how do we get out of this place?" she hummed and looked around the mirrors, reflecting them.
"...!" Ib gasped. "Wh-What's that!?"
"Grrrh..."
Pierce hitched. "No...it's the Grunt again!" he teared up and hyperventilating. "Ahh...hh...! Hhh...!"
"Oh no...your asthma!" Alice grimaced. "Did you bring your inhaler—drat! Ib, go that way and take Pierce with you! There's a gap where your figures aren't reflected! Hide behind the mirrors!"
Ib gulped and took Pierce's arm, heading to which Alice had pointed. True to her words, there was a gap; Ib and Pierce hid behind the mirrors and saw a monitor showing the mirror maze.
"Hh...! Wh-Why's Alice not...hh...coming!?" Pierce gasped.
Ib's eyes widened. "Sh-She's trying to find out if that's a real monster or not!"
Alice stared at the Grunt heading her way, grunting along. Well, this was an attraction...She should be fine...that monster wouldn't eat her...it's just a guy in a costume...In fact...
If she can catch him, she'll find a way out, right?
"Ha! Prepare yourself, Mr. Grunt!" Alice dashed towards the Grunt with a grin. "You're going to take us to Peter!"
The Grunt froze and started to turn away, running, but Alice tackled him to the ground.
Suddenly...
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP!
"A-Alice!?" both Pierce and Ib gasped as the mirror maze bathed with irritating red lamps.
Nets came shooting out from the corners, trapping Alice down. The Grunt stood up and went to take the girl in the net.
"Oh no...!" the kids screeched. The monitor then turned red and showing creepy letters;
ALICE LIDDELL IS FOUND GUILTY
COMMENCING EXECUTION
Pierce hyperventilated even worse. "E-Execution!?"
"N-Nooo! We have to do something!" Ib cried, her eyes tearing up. "Alice is in danger!"
~.X.~
"AACK! WHAT IN THE FUCKING HEAVENS!?" Black jumped in shock when he heard the alarm ran off. "Fuck! That shit made me jump!" he stomped angrily.
White sighed. "What a pussy." He looked around the seven doors. "That means someone touched one of the Ghosts or Monsters. I hope it's not those kids..." he hummed.
Black frowned. "Huh...? Hold up, dude. I didn't come to this attraction's meeting...What the fuck happened if someone touched the attraction people?"
White grinned. "Well, it should be someone crazy enough...So Master Grell will probably take that person to join our Circus."
The other red head flinched. "...This is too fucked up. Like, what the fuck!? He can't do that!" he folded up his sleeves. "We gotta fucking find those kids! If Master Grell does more stupid fucking pranks again, the polices will be on our asses and we gotta fucking move again!" he dashed to the purple door without thinking twice.
White raised his eyebrows. "Hmm...I didn't expect you to be very thoughtful, Black...Aww, my brother's growing up a little bit—"
"White!? What the fuck!? These creepy dolls—WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU LOOKING AT!? AAACK! GET AWAY FROM MEE!" Black screeched from the purple door.
His brother laughed nervously and stepped away from the purple door. "I guess I'll go on my own, ha...ha...ha." he entered the yellow door.
~.X.~
Julius wiped his cold sweat. "What was that...?" he muttered, hearing alarm ringing and red lights shining everywhere. He then glared down to Gray, who was sleeping on he path.
"Ringmarc, wake up! Darn...there's no food..." Julius tried to look for food on Gray's pockets. "How the heck am I going to wake this doofus...?" he sighed.
"Monrey!" Vivaldi came running with a very satisfied smile. "Heh! I fuckin' got it! The owl painting is the way out of this maze! And the pirate painting is the trap to get the ghost out—what the fuck, Gray!?" she bellowed angrily, glaring down at the sleeping Gray.
"He won't wake up unless he's fed." Julius sighed.
Vivaldi growled and knelt next to Gray. "Oi! Don't fucking kidding with me, man!" she poked Gray's cheek and pinched it. "Wake the fuck up!"
"V-Vivaldi." Gray quickly opened his eyes and sat up.
Julius gaped in disbelief. Gray woke up!? Without being fed!? The navy Wallflower gaped at Gray, then Vivaldi, back and forth.
"Heh! Let's get the fuck outta here and find Alice already!" Vivaldi snickered boyishly, standing up and led the way. She stopped and scowled at Gray. "Don't you dare fucking sleep again, though! Here, I'll hold your hand!" she grabbed Gray's hand and dragged the boy. "Come on, Monrey!"
Julius raised his eyebrows at what he just witnessed; Gray was blushing and surprised as Vivaldi dragged him by his arm.
'Hm...So Gray's have a crush on Vivaldi...?' Julius thought as he chased the two. He inwardly laughed. 'Ha...who'd expect that...?'
~.X.~
Alice pulled the net off her head and sighed, finding herself sitting between moving statues. Execution? So she's going to die? The girl curiously looked down. She was sitting on a panel. Tapping her foot on it...
There's a pitfall down there, for real. What'll happen if she fell down there?
"Is someone there...?" a familiar voice came. Alice looked around, and right outside the box she's sitting on, she saw Peter White!
"Peter!" she called, was about to run, but then there was a glass wall imprisoning her.
"Alice...?" Peter said back, waving his hands around, trying to find his way. "Do you know where I am right now...?"
"We're in one of the park's attraction." Alice said, talking to give Peter hint of her whereabouts. "We came to look for you!"
"R-Really?" Peter sounded glad. "We...? Pierce too?"
"Yeah, but we got separated." Alice huffed. "How did you get here?"
"The Clowns took me here. I thought they were trying to help me...but I guess that would be too good." Peter smiled sadly and finally reached the glass wall. He tapped on it. "Are you here?"
Peter was tapping the glass box of where the other statues are. The glass wall have small holes so the prisoner can breathe, but there's not much space.
"It's okay...there are several glass boxes around you...And a piano right beside that box you're tapping."
"Yeah...I know...I was brought there too by the clowns..." Peter said numbly. "Why...are they trying to taunt me like this...?"
Alice fell silent for a while, as Peter slid down to the floor, not wanting to move around anymore.
"It's like...people are trying to rub the fact that I can't play piano anymore...because I'm blind..." the albino's voice wavered. "I gave up...I don't want to play the piano anymore...so people should stop it."
Alice was thinking why is there a piano there in the first place. Judging from the color and the way the piano's feet were sticking to the ground, it must be another piece of puzzle.
"Well..." Alice hummed. "Just because you're blind, doesn't mean you don't want to play the piano anymore, right?"
Peter fell silent in surprise. Alice continued talking.
"You love the piano, right?" Alice asked. "I'm sure you love it, that you'd known it so well like the back of your hand. You won't even forget the back of your hand even if you're blind, right?"
The albino bit his lower lip. "I...I guess so..." he hummed. "I guess...I'm just scared to face a piano again...because I'm blinded..."
"Haah...I envy you, Pete!" the girl huffed. "We're on the same age, but you've found your dream! Me, I'll never find what I really want. I don't even want to find what I really want...but..." she tapped her chin. "My Mom once said, while you're alive, don't waste it cowering in fear. Oh, oh, and this really cool video games line from Dangan Ronpa! We will not give in...As long as we have hope, we will NOT give in to you!"
Peter lit up, chuckling. "Oh yeah, I played that! That was Makoto Naegi's line in the final Non-Stop Debate, huh?"
Alice giggled. "It's awesome that sometimes games give me motivation, you know?"
The albino smiled and the two fell silent. For Peter, both lines touched him; what Alice's mother said...about not wasting life cowering in fear. And the video game line...Alice always had a way to cheer him up.
Peter stood up, fist clenched. "I will try that piano."
Alice perked. "Really?"
"Mm." The albino nodded in determination. "I'll play a song for you, Alice, until someone get us out of here."
~.X.~
"Oh, we meet again!" Garry lit up in relief. "Where's your twin?"
White sighed. "I left him on a different door. It'd be faster to find those kids if we separate."
Garry nodded. "Anyway, what was that alarm for?"
The red head hummed. "Let's just say...it's not a good omen. Anyway, watch your step, there's a—"
CLICK
"AWOOO!"
White laughed. "Ah, the Circus' wolf."
Garry gaped. "Wh-What!? Y-You can tame them, right!?"
"...Ah, unfortunately, they're used in escaping trick...so...let's run."
And then began the whacky escape; Garry frantically ran while White seemed unfazed, chatting as they ran.
"Ah, I wish Black is here...he can at least handle animals better than ghosts..."
"We're going to die...Aaah! Why is this happening again!?" Garry whined. "First the statues, now real-life wolves—ACK!?"
THUD
"Aow! What the fuck man!" a purplette yelled angrily, and then eyed the wolves behind them. "Holy fucking shiet!"
"Oh, hi, Monrey! Hi Dupre!" White cheerfully greeted. "And Ringmarc, who busted last time's Hallowe'en party!"
"No time to say hello!" Garry yelled and led the run again.
"How the fuck are those crazy dogs out here!?" Vivaldi screeched. "White, you're from the Circus! Do something!"
White hummed. "Oh, well...I'm just an acrobat performer. Black can do wonders with his whip, if you know what I mean..."
"Is this really the time for inside dirty joke!?" Garry gasped.
"Anyway, those wolves are out because Garry stepped on a trap button...Exactly which Julius Monrey would be stepping in three...two...one—" White was cut off.
"H-Huh!?" Julius gaped.
CLICK
"LOOK OUT!" Gray's eyes widened and he pushed Vivaldi away; thick glass wall just came down the ceilings. Vivaldi hitched and fell off to the floor.
"You okay?" Julius asked in concern.
"I'd be more concerned about them, though." White commented numbly.
Vivaldi's eyes widened as she saw the wolves at the other side of the walls, closing to Gray and Garry.
"Go on, Vivaldi!" Gray yelled, his voice a bit muffled by the glass wall.
"But you guys...!?" Vivaldi grimaced, banging the thick wall. Julius put a hand on her shoulder.
"We'll meet up again, and you'll be safe." Julius demanded.
"Of course." Gray nodded seriously.
"Come on!" Garry dragged Gray to a different path, and the wolves followed them.
Vivaldi growled. "That fuckin' idiot! Why the fuck do they let out dangerous wolves anyway!?" she yelled to White, who sighed tiredly.
"I'm so sorry...but I really don't know what's on our Master's mind. I can only think that we'll find something to save them if we keep going forth." The red head nodded and led the way.
Vivaldi clenched her fists, torn about going forth, but there was nothing she could do to help Gray and Garry anyway. Then, they saw monitors along the wall, showing Gray and Garry's path.
"Hm...so this is the observatory route." Julius muttered. He pushed his glasses and glanced at the monitor, finding the dead end. "We should get there before them. There must be a way to get them here." He told the two.
Vivaldi nodded and led the way. True, there was a notice board and a white board with several markers in different colors.
"Draw My Thing!?" Vivaldi gaped. "What the fuck is wrong with world!?"
"There's the same rule and punishment on the notice board." White muttered, starting to read. "If we try to write the answer, this path will be filled with sleeping gas. Draw three things mentioned, and the guys at the other side of the route have to guessed them right to get in."
"There they are!" Julius said, and picked a marker. Some letters appeared on the monitor in their route;
I WISH AN APPLE
Gray and Garry grimaced as they saw the dead ends, but White gestured for them to look at the keyboard on the wall, and pointed at Julius, who was starting to draw three things:
An eye, a fish, number one, and an apple.
Garry twitched. "Draw My Thing...!? My God, are you serious...?"
"Play or die." Gray murmured and took the keyboard. "Eye fish one apple..." he hummed and started to type...
"I don't get the fish." He deadpanned.
"I think it's another way of saying wish." Garry suggested.
"Okay..." Gray smirked. "I...wish...one...? I'll go for an...apple..."
BEEP
A green light was lit on the glass wall. Two dead lamps remaining.
The three glared at the monitor which showed them new letters;
GRIMACE
"Argh...If only Alice is here!" Julius complained, since Alice was the maestro in drawing. He couldn't draw a person grimacing!
White hummed and took the marker from Julius.
He drew a Grim Reaper and...Ace's head.
Gray and Garry glared at the drawing in confuse.
"Death...and doofus?" Gray hummed.
"I think it's Grim Reaper and a boy."Garry commented, and they saw White colored the boy's eyes with red, and his hair brown. "If he specifically colors them...maybe it's someone you know?"
"AUUUU!"
"Argh! They're close!" Garry whimpered.
"Grim Reaper...and Ace...!?" Gray gulped. "Grim Reaper...Ace...Grim Reaper...Ace...Grim...Ace...Grim...Ace..."
Garry snapped out in realization. "Grimace!" he said.
"Oh!" Gray quickly typed in the answer.
BEEP
One dead lamp remaining!
Vivaldi squealed. "We can actually do this shiet! What's next!?"
CHRISTMAS EVE
The three fell silent. Christmas eve...!? They could draw Christmas-related stuff, but what about the 'eve'?
"How do we draw an 'eve'?" White asked. "Do you know a flower or something named eve?"
"Even if there is, I bet none of them are too calm to remember." Julius frowned.
"Hey..." Vivaldi snatched the marker from White. "I got this shit. I hope."
Vivaldi then drew one thing and wrote two letters.
"It's not the answer, so it's alright, right?" Vivaldi snickered nervously, glaring up at the walls, ready for the sleeping gas, but it didn't came out.
Gray and Garry seemed surprised to see the new drawings;
A christmas tree and the writing; IB
"Ha!" Garry gasped and frantically typed the answer; "Christmas Eve! Easy fruitcake!"
The last lamp was turned on, and the wall lifted up, letting them proceed.
"Let's get the fuck outta here!" Vivaldi unconsciously snatched Gray's arm and led the run.
"How do you get the 'Ib' part?" Julius asked Garry. Garry laughed nervously.
"That's the girl I'm here for!"
~.X.~
"We...can't give in now." Pierce heaved as they hid behind one of the statues; a monochromatic bear was hunting them down, holding a machine gun. "If he catches us, we'll be brought for execution like Alice..."
Ib whimpered. "But...maybe that way's faster to get to Alice?"
"No...Don't." Pierce shook his head. "Alice will kill us if we do that. We'll find another way." He turned to Ib. "If...If we found the exit instead...Ib, you can go out. I'll keep looking for Alice."
Ib shook her head. "No...I...I'm looking for Garry too! We'll have to work together, okay?"
"Garry..." Pierce nodded. "Is he someone precious to Ib too?"
Ib smiled. "Yeah...! I like him so much..." the two sat down in their hideout. "I wish I can grow up faster...Garry only thinks of me as his little sister..."
Pierce hummed, looking down. "Mm, I know the feeling. Alice also thinks of me as her little brother..." he clenched his fists. "But...But I want to prove that I can be a man, too! I...I don't want to be weak forever..."
The brunette stared at Pierce, and smiled brightly. "I think Pierce has more chance than I do with Garry! You're just a year apart, right?"
Pierce blushed. "I-Ib...If you do your best...If we do our best, we can get them to like us, right?"
Ib blushed and nodded in determination. "Yeah...So we shouldn't give up! We have to find them—AAH!"
RAT-TAT-TAT-TAT-TAT-TA!
"Holy fucking shiiiiiet!" a certain red-head cursed and kicked the hideous bear. "That was fucking real bullets! You prats okay!?"
"B-Black Joker?" Pierce stuttered out.
"Oh man...Oh fucking man...those Monokumas are fucking dangerous..." Black huffed. "Get movin' prats! More of 'em are comin'!"
"U-Um...!" Ib called as they started to move again. "Why is the attraction get so dangerous?"
Black growled. "Master Grell caught someone to join the Circus...He'll do anything to keep it...and will get rid of anyone who tries to get in his way."
Pierce gasped. "No way...! No! So the execution means...Alice will have to join this Circus!?"
Black choked. "HUH!? THAT FUCKING PRAT!?"
Ib bit her lower lip. "How do we get to her!? Can't we do something?"
Black stopped his pace and glared around. "If we can get to the Court Room...We can find that little bitch."
"Court Room!?" Ib and Pierce gaped.
"It's one last chance to get the girl out...She'll be prisoned with whoever the fuck Peter White is." Black grumbled. "If those prats aren't so fucking stupid, they'd play the piano. That's our only clue to find where the Court Room is."
"The piano!" Pierce gasped. Ib punched her little fist.
"Yeah! That's what we heard! Ode to Joy!" she laughed in happiness. "I heard it from this way! Come on!"
~.X.~
On the other hand, White's group was led by the safe route, and slowly they heard a music creeping in.
"...Ode to Joy..." Vivaldi muttered. "Why the fuck did it sounded like Peter White's playing style? Then again, that prat's blind..." she grumbled.
"Hm...I thought being blind doesn't mean you can't play piano anymore..." Julius hummed.
White chuckled. "Whoever it is, the one who plays this song is in the Court Room."
"What is that room?" Garry asked.
"That's were the execution will be held." White explained. "If someone touched the Ghosts or Monsters, they will be brought to the Court Room for execution."
"...Hmmh..." Gray gulped, his temple sweating cold. Vivaldi felt his hand shivering in hers.
She squeezed his hand. "Yeah, I kinda get your bad feeling too." She mumbled.
Julius wanted to gag, but on the other hand, he was anxious too.
What if it's Alice?
A light came at the end of the tunnell, and Julius felt he had jinxed it. White hummed and shook his head.
"Oh no...I felt I've jinxed this...or maybe Alice Liddell has the tendency to get into life-and-death experience..." White rubbed his temple.
"Alice!" Julius called out, banging the glass wall surrounding the Court Room.
Peter stopped playing, and Alice turned.
"Julius!? Gray...Vivaldi...White too!?" Alice gasped. "Hey there, guys!" she waved cheerfully.
"It's not time to be cheerful!" Julius and Vivaldi deadpanned angrily.
"So...can anyone explain what's going on?" Peter asked.
"Oh fucking shiet. Alice Liddell you always get into the fucking hot water!" Black scolded angrily, stomping into the Court Room. Behind him, Pierce and Ib followed. Ib perked up to see Garry.
"Garry!" she squealed and ran around the Court Room to jump into Garry's embrace.
"Ib...! Thank God, you're save...!" Garry sighed in relief.
"Garry, what do we do!? Alice is in danger!" she pointed at where Alice is imprisoned. "The Ring Master's forcing her to join the Circus!"
Peter froze. "What do you mean!?"
"Alice is imprisoned," Julius started to explain across the room. "You guys are in the Court Room. There will be a trial, but if Alice lost, she'll have to join the Circus..."
"No, fucking way, that's not right!" Black growled. "Look here, I got the fucking notice! Press the green button to go on a trial, press the red button to give up!"
"Press the green button!" Peter yelled.
"Hold up!" Black yelled back. "If you go on a trial, and fail...What the fuck!?"
"What the fuck is it!?" Vivaldi demanded.
"Oh wow...Monokuma...!" Alice gaped; a Monokuma was aiming a machine gun to her.
"What is it!?" Peter asked.
"There's a Monokuma aiming a gun to me!" Alice said.
"If you go on trial...Peter has to find where Alice is. If he choses the wrong box...that fucking bear will shoot her off." Black summed the notice board. "This is muthafuckin' outrageous! Murder!"
Peter froze. He's blind...it's as if the Ring Master was clearing targeting them! If he can't find where Alice is...Alice will be dead...Maybe...maybe they shouldn't go on a trial.
"A-Alice..." Peter called. "What do you want?"
Alice stared at him for a while, and the others were silent. The girl smiled emptily.
"Either way is fine for me."
Peter flinched and stood from the piano's seat. "D-Don't joke around, please...Do you want to live in the Circus...or risk your life to a blind me?"
"You can't do this again, Alice." Julius growled. "You can't answer us the same way you did back at the Zoo!"
Pierce realized what was it. "D-Don't say you're not afraid of dying again, Alice!"
Alice sighed. "Aahh...but it's my life! Living in the Circus, living outside, being dead...what's the difference?"
Black and White froze. Garry seemed shocked, and Ib gasped in disbelief. Peter flinched again and slammed his hands to the piano.
"What...What the hell, Alice?" he growled. "What do you mean!? Of...of course it's different if you're alive or not!" random notes banged out of the instrument. "I...I'll be lost..."
Alice closed her eyes and let out another sighed.
"Yeah...I guess I should stay a bit longer for the fun." She shrugged. "Press the green button."
"H-Huh?" Peter gasped.
"Peter, I'll trust you." Alice smiled evilly. "So if I'm dead, it's your fault!"
"D-Don't throw responsibility that way! You fucking moron!" Vivaldi gaped. "You'd make him not want to do the trial—"
"You...trust me." Peter's smile grew. "You'll trust your life to a blind me?"
Alice smirked. "Any day, now."
"Argh, this is so fucked up." Black facepalmed. "If she's dead, police it is. Go, Peter White." He punched the green button, and Monokuma was turned on, his left eye turned red and his grin grew wider.
Peter left the piano, his hands waving around to find anything.
"If you think you've found her...press the button somewhere." White said.
"Go to the right, Peter!" Ib cheered.
"A bit to the left, some steps forward!" Garry said.
"N-Not that one! Get away from that one!" Pierce yelped.
Peter gulped as he felt three walls of glass surrounding him. "Is...Alice around me?" he asked.
"No, away from that." Alice said, but her voice couldn't help, since it was emitted to every other boxes. She sighed. "Hmm...If only there's a way for you to identify me..."
"Your Ring Master is fucked up." Vivaldi spat to White. "This is totally going to the fucking police."
White sighed. "Useless...I bet he's already out somewhere...This isn't the first time he did this kind of thing. And he always get away from the police."
Vivaldi grumbled. "Fucking pathetic..."
"Alice's voice is emitted from all the boxes...so hearing is not dependable." Julius analyzed. "Peter White's vision is out of question...it's as if the Ring Master had known his targets."
"Those fucking clowns weren't just messing around." Black grumbled. "They must've gotten some info from that fucking albino."
Gray suddenly spoke up. "The scent." He said. "Peter White...can you use your nose to smell Alice's scent?"
Peter stopped and started inhaling. "I...don't even know what scent to find. If I keep on inhaling, I'll get used to the scent...and then I can't find her anymore."
Pierce gasped. "Oh yeah! Painting oil! Alice smells like painting oil!"
Everyone seemed surprised. Ib clapped her hands happily. Peter inhaled deeply to trace the painting oil smell, and he finally got the right box. Alice clapped her hands happily.
"He he he! My savior!" she praised, making the albino blush.
Peter finally found the button and pushed it. The box was lifted, and Alice was free. The Monokuma was turned off, and the Court Room glass was lifted.
White laughed.
"Aww, too bad for Black...Alice can't join the Circus together with him~"
Black blushed angrily.
"What the fuck, White. What the fuck."
~.X.~
Julius was pulling Alice's right ear angrily.
"Dare you to say those things again..." he scolded.
"Aow, aow, aaaooow! I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!" Alice cried in pain. "I wanna live painlessly, please!"
"Alice is so mean!" Pierce teared up. "I...I don't want to be your little brother anymore!"
Alice gaped. "H-Hey! Come on, I said I was sorry!"
Ib giggled at this, knowing the meaning. She then clung to Garry's hand.
"I don't want to be Garry's little sister too..." she muttered. Garry overheard, and chuckled.
"Since when you're my little sister, anyway?" Garry ruffled her head.
Ib blushed in surprise.
"Ha ha ha! Sorry for all those troubles, guys...!" White laughed cheerfully. "As expected, our Ring Master's gone! But I'll take down this attraction before anyone else tries it..."
"Fucking crazy...fucking outrageous...presposterous..." Black grumbled, glaring at the biggest attraction that had made them suffer in adrenaline.
"Alice, you should thank everyone!" White suggested. "Especially Black, he's all; Oh! I have to save Alice! Knowing you're in danger!"
"Huh? Really?" Alice lit up curiously.
Black gaped with face as red as his hair. "What the fuck, WHITE! DON'T MAKE UP FUCKING LIES!"
"Aww...but White's cooler! I want White as my White Knight!" Alice giggled, and hold her hands up. "Piggy back ride!"
White laughed and held Alice up his back. "Yes, Princess~!"
"H-Hey! What the fuck are you two doing!?" Black yelled at the couple, turning around on piggy back ride.
Pierce huffed. "I have to get taller..." he mumbled. He have to, so Alice will want to get on piggy back ride with him!
"Your face fucking shows whatever on your mind." Vivaldi laughed at Pierce, who blushed.
"I can't...stand here...too many crowds..." Julius hyperventilated.
"You were alright before, though." Gray commented. And then he saw where Julius was glaring. He sighed. "You're just jealous, huh?"
"Sh-Shut up." Julius growled.
Peter hummed with a calm smile. "Hmm...so these are Alice's friends..."
"Perveeert!"
WHAM
"Aooow!" Black yelped in pain as Ace came out of nowhere kicking his shin.
"What do you think you're doing with our Princess!"
WHAM
"Oooi! It's White, not me!" Black protested.
"Shut up!" Boris yelled.
SMACK
"Why do I always fucking suffer!" Black protested to Alice and White, who stopped.
"Because you're the comic relief." Alice and White said together.
"So yeah," Gray gulped and stared down at his hand, still being held by Vivaldi. "Wh-What do you want to tell Alice?"
White stopped running around with Alice on his back. Vivaldi punched her own palm.
"Oh yeah, almost fucking forgot. Elliot asked me to ask you if you'd join our vacation to Japan, pal!" Vivaldi grinned. "Come on, Peter White, you're invited too, right?"
Peter chuckled. "Of course, I'm his cousin. How about it, Alice? It's a nice place in Okinawa. Though it's sad that I can't see it anymore..." he murmured.
Alice perked up. "Okinawa? That's the place with so many long-life people, right?"
"Oh yeah...the vacation is starting, huh?" Boris stopped torturing Black. "But...Do you want to? Please don't, Alice...I'll be bored during the vacation!" he whined.
"No, no, no! Alice, you don't need to go to Japan, NO!" Ace whined too.
"It's HER decision, you fucking idiots." Vivaldi deadpanned.
"Oh yeah, Boris...Don't worry about that." Garry spoke up. "I was heading to your house to meet up with Robin..."
Boris paused and stared at Garry for the first time. "Oh, Garry bro! I didn't see you there! What do you want to talk about with Robin? He's out."
"Boris...you know him?" Pierce, his cousin, asked.
"Yeah, he's kind of like our uncle...or something. But he's still in college." Boris explained. "So what is it?"
"Robin's going to Japan too, tagging along with me to go back to college, of course. I'm here to check out the Guertena's Exhibition at the other town." Garry looked down on Ib. "But I'll get back here again after I finish my study, of course." He smiled reassuringly.
Alice hummed. "Aren't your parents away tomorrow, Boris...and Pierce too, right? Parents reunion something?"
"Y-Yeah...b-but that means we're going to be alone!?" Pierce yelped.
"I was going to ask Alice to sleepover." Boris huffed.
"Robin said he's going to take both of you with him." Garry explained.
"I have a better idea." A voice came from behind them, and they saw Elliot March, with a pouting Blood Dupre on his side. "Why don't all of you come to my hometown? It'd be my honor!" he offered and turned to his long distance cousin. "What do you think, Peter?"
"The more the merrier." Peter smiled.
"All of us?" Julius raised his eyebrows.
"That's it, guys! Rainbow Puking Unicorns are invading Japan!" Alice cheered on White's back. "Oh, White Knight...that only means we have to be separated!" she whined, hugging White's neck.
Black narrowed his eyes. Elliot seemed shocked. Blood twitched. Ace gritted his teeth while Boris clenching his fists. Julius was emitting dark aura. Pierce pouted angrily. Vivaldi grimaced and started yelling angrily at them.
"Alice! You fucking traitor! After what I've been through to get to you!"
"Hmh...idiots..." Gray commented the situation.
"Actually, we're going to Japan, too!" White suddenly said, laughing. Black gaped.
"W-We fucking are!?"
"Yeah, since we have to get Master Grell. He's somewhere in Tokyo, recruiting Yakuza..."
Everyone had the same question in mind;
Just what is that Ring Master up to!?
"Yaay! White Knight is coming too!" Alice squealed happily.
Suddenly, White held her in his arms and leaned his face to her.
"Why, of course, Princess...because I have to always be by your side...protecting you..."
"My knight...!" Alice sighed.
"P-P-Pedophile!" Black accused.
"Get away from my Princeeesss!" Ace roared.
White laughed as he started to run away from the boys.
Heh heh, these idiots are so fun and easy to tease~
