''I'm falling down a dark hole, then I see strange creatures...''
'What kind of creatures?''
''Well, there's a dodo bird, a rabbit in a waistcoat, a smiling cat...'' Alice told Petyr
''I didn't know cats could smile.' Petyr countered
''Neither did I. Oh, and there's a blue caterpillar.'' Alice exclaimed.
''Blue caterpillar. Hmm.'' Petyr smiled down at Alice, the youngest of the Tully's and certainly the most entertaining. She had a wild imagination.
''Do you think I've gone round the bend?'' Alice asked curiously and Petyr put his hand to her forehead to feel for a fever.
''I'm afraid so. You're mad. Bonkers. Off your head. But I'll tell you a secret...all the best people are.'' Petyr assured. Alice smiled up at him. ''It's only a dream, Alice. Nothing can harm you there. But if you get too frightened, you can always wake up. Like this," Petyr gave her arm a little pinch, Alice giggled and pinched him back.
"Thank you Petyr."
"Goodnight Alice."

"Brandon Stark? Petyr are you insane?" Alice questioned.
"No. I am in love."
"With Catelyn?" Alice asked disbelieving.
"Why is that so hard to believe?" Petyr countered and Alice twisted her shoes in contemplation. "Alice?"
"Catelyn is mean to you." Alice said in a soft voice.
"No she's not." Petyr corrected.
"She calls you names-'
'Nick names." Petyr corrected.
"Little finger is a mean nick name, Petyr." Alice told him but he shook his head. "Even if you win, father won't allow the union." Alice told him.
"Why not?"
"Because..." Alice said vaguely.
"Because what?"
"Don't make me say it." Alice whispered.
'Because I am from a small house and a match with Baelish would get her nothing." Petyr filled in and Alice looked up at him.
"I just don't want you dying over this for someone that doesn't love you." Alice told him honestly.
"I'm going to win." Petyr corrected kissing the top of her head. Alice was the baby of the family but she never felt like she truly belonged until they took Petyr in as their ward. He was 8 years older but Alice's best friend. She didn't understand why Catelyn was so mean to him or why Petyr was in love with her. Lysa loved Petyr. Lysa was past the point of love and onto obsessive. Alice didn't want Petyr's heart to break for Catelyn of all people.

"The fool!' Brandon declared. "I'm going to cut him open and see what Baelish is made of!''
"He obviously didn't hear of you or else he wouldn't be so stupid." Ned agreed as they got ready to go.
"Did father tell you the good news?" Brandon mused.
"What? That look doesn't say good news, it says trouble." Ned corrected.
"You are going to marry the youngest sister. Alice."
"What?" Ned said shaking his head. "She's like 10."
"Catelyn is mine, Lysa I hear she is a loon, Jon Aryn gets her, they will be at the vale." Brandon recalled 'and father agreed that since I will be lord of winterfell one day I would need to stay at winterfell you would go and rule over the Riverrunns one day." Brandon told him smugly.
"She is ten." Ned repeated.
"You will be grateful for a younger bride when you are old and grey and she is still young and beautiful." Brandon remarked. "Come on lets go meet our brides to be."
