Chapter 12: The Heartslabyul's Tea Party : Part 2

Ace: Stop laughing! I could have gotten my head chopped off you know!

Ace angrily declared, as Minerva and the others chuckled in the hallway after hearing Ace's story.

Minerva: But it is and you didn't.
Ace: Well it could had happened. Besides I still got yelled at; AND dragged against my will!
Grim: Fnyahaha! Geez I wish I was awake to see that. I could only imagine how much screaming you did. Haha...
Ace: Oh Shut Up!
Deuce: Well your head's still in contact.
Ace: Well I guess I have to thank Raven for that.
Raven: Me? But why?
Ace: Is it not obvious. Because if you never told me a because the quiche rule; I wouldn't been able to stump Riddle long enough.
Minerva: See, bright side.
Ace: Yep! I bet last night he was looking over the book of the Queen's rules to see where he missed it!
Deuce: Well I guess it would be pretty hard since it's not part of the 810 rules.

Ace's triumphant smile so turned into a fearful, shocked expression.

Ace: Seriously!? Oh come on.~
Minerva: Well a least you know a rule that Riddle didn't.

Just then, as Ace looked at the others annoyance, a student with the same red vests that Ace and Deuce have approach them.

Heartslabyul Student: Ms. Raven Queen?
Raven: That's me. And you can just call me Raven.
Heartslabyul Student : Really? I mean *ahem*
Raven Queen, on the date of today an hour after classes have ended we will have an unbirthday party which is tradition in Heartslabyul. It would be the utmost of honors if you were to attend.
Raven: Umm ..... I'll think about it.
Heartslabyul Student: But of course.

Before leaving the student quickly turned his attention to Minerva and Grim; talking in a more casual manner.

Heartslabyul Student: The Housewarden would also like you guys to come to the tea party too.
Minerva: Okay sure.
Grim: Yippee! I get to eat Trey's sweets.
Heartslabyul Student: Great. Well see you
later.

As the student left, Raven could barely pay attention to them. She was too busy remembering about the tea parties she and her best friend forever after, Madeline Hatter, had but they never had an unbirthday party as far as she remembered.

Raven: I never been to an unbirthday party before.
Minerva: Really; not even with your friend?
Raven: Not really. When we had tea parties she never let them be too mad for my sake.
Deuce: If that's the case, I guess this will be your first proper tea party for you.
Raven: Guess so.
Ace: Man, I want your friend to be our housewarden. She sounds SO much kinder than Riddle when it comes to rules. Even for the next heir.
Raven: Heir?
Ace: You know, your friend. Daughter of the Queen of Hearts.
Raven: I'm not friends with the Queen's daughter. My BFFA is the daughter of the Mad Hatter.

As Raven clarified her statement, Ace began to  sweat in fear.

Minerva: Ace, what did you say?
Ace: I may or may not have said Raven's friend with the the Queen of Hearts daughter.
Minerva & Deuce: YOU SAID WHAT?

While the three students bickered, Raven was contemplating about her relationship with Lizzie Hearts. The last interaction she could think of that was somewhat friendly was during a tea party her and Madeline had; her friend invited her to join but all she did was look at sourly and sipped her tea. Just by that interaction alone can tell you how their relationship was.
