As Vivaldi and Peter arrived at the Castle, they completely told me off for either lying to them or giving them a stuffed animal and making it disappear.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry--here." I gave Vivaldi an apologetic hug and I was going to go to Peter but I quickly remembered that he didn't want me to touch him or vice versa.

"Umm..." I put both my index fingers on each side of my head and tried thinking positive thoughts. "I'm trying to send good feelings to you, since you don't want to touch me..."

"Quit trying so hard." Peter held out his hand. "I'll make sure to sanitize later."

I shook his hand...not really strongly but quite reluctantly.

"You seem weak."

I looked at him. "Well...I don't remember where I was before I woke up in the Clock Tower about twenty time periods ago. I don't know how to cook and my last dinner was...disturbing."

"Poor child! I know, we'll have tea time!" Vivaldi looked at the current time period. "Yes, yes, perfect!"

~♡~☆~

"Ah, I'm stuffed and very hydrated now! Mmm, it's perfect for after a horse race." I sighed.

"You cheated..." Peter mumbled next to me.

"HEY! TIME, I MADE IT!!! IN ONE TIME PERIOD!!!" The carefree voice of Ace reached my ears.

"Congrats, that's a new record!" I turned and watched him walk up behind me.

"That's the most praise I've ever heard from anyone my entire life!" Ace commented.

That was how we spent the time period. It lasted for a while and everybody actually got along. Peter and Ace went as far as to take their gun and sword out but that was all that happened.

I really got to know Vivaldi and Peter. Apearantly Peter was the one to guide Alice to the Country of Hearts, he absolutely insists that there is no other person alive who can compare with her. She really must mean a lot to him. And Vivaldi, she is a very strong, very beautiful woman. She hates Peter and Ace both...rather any man at all...so I guess she took a liking to me.

I'm lucky that I'm a girl.

Which brings me to the events of the time period(s) to come...

~♡~☆~

"Okay, we're going to show you something that we don't show to people often~" Vivaldi and I neared her quarters. "It's our secret hobby."

Oh good lord, I hope it has nothing to do with beheading! I don't think Julius would like it if I started fixing clocks without a brain or eyes...

Or I'd be dead...

He wouldn't like that either. It would just add to his work pile.

I sighed mentally as I followed Vivaldi into her room.

~♡~☆~

"Look! I got this from Alice!" Vivaldi held up a stuffed cat that was similar to the one I had thrown her during the horse race.

Hmm...Alice and I have similar tastes...

I watched as she began to go on about her secret love for stuffed animals. It was rather cute actually.

Considering Vivaldi was a strong and beautiful woman. She could seem rather cold on the outside and it gave you a good feeling knowing that she had a soft core.
