"Hurry up and paint those roses red! Slather them quickly, as aforesaid! Hurry, hurry! There are still roses left to paint! Walking and talking cards are circling a rose bush painting the white roses red "Why are you painting these white roses red?" A girl with blond hair asks Huh? Why, you ask? It's quite simple. We planted the wrong color, you see. The Queen likes her roses red. If they're white, we'll lose our heads! "Goodness!" And so, we're painting the roses red!.
Was I dreaming?
Bang bang bang a loud knock was heard from downstairs "i'm coming! I'm..." I said as I groggily descended down the stairs to the front door. When I opened the door, Ace was standing there with a red and black heart shaped lock around his neck. "Why are you here so late?" i asked "i ate one little piece of a tart and that stupid tyrant caught and collared me." he said as he walked inside and plop down on the couch "a tart?..." I confusingly said "Yeah! It's not like it was the only one, there were two other big tarts..he's so repetitive it pisses me off " I stood there and thought.
"Maybe he was saving it for an event? I mean I would be mad too if someone ate something that was supposed to be used for something important." I stated "you're supposed to side with me. I thought you had some compassion..." he sighed "maybe you can go apologize?" I questioned "apologize? Like I'd say sorry to that tyrant! He's in the wrong here" He exclaimed "Still, if you want to get that collar off, you have to do something." I paused for a bit
"You'll go and apologize tomorrow." "Yea yea...Anyways, can I crash here tonight?" he asked "why not at your dorm?" " i am not going back to that dorm and i'm pretty sure that my dorm leader doesn't want me there either" i looked at him blankly "come on, im reeeeal slim and I won't take up much space–" "sure" "-and...wait really?" he said in slight disbelief "yeah, i don't mind plus it might be crammed with grim in the bed too" I smiled awkwardly
"Nuh uh, he is sleeping on the couch" Grim appeared on the stairs still tired "...unless he has some type of payment?..." He grinned "damn weasel." Ace grumbles as he crosses his arms "fine, couch it is. Come on [Y/n] let's go back to bed" Grim goes back up stairs. "Sorry Ace, next time I'll clean up a room for you plus it's only for the rest of the night" I reassured him "you are too kind but it's alright...for now" Ace reassured me before I headed back upstairs to go back to sleep.
In the morning (Third POV)
Bang! Bang! Bang! "Who is pounding at the door like that early in the morning?!" Ace exclaims as dust falls from the ceiling as the knock continues "Okay! Okay! I'm coming jeez.." Ace gets up from the sofa and opens the door only to find Deuce standing at the door "Oh, it's you." Ace grimaced "You ate the housewarden's tart. What were you thinking?" Deuce looks at him with disappointed "Look, it was just a tiny bite, nothing to fuss about, is he still mad?" Ace mopes "a little irritated but only because a few people overslept, they got collared also" Deuce responded "You call that not being mad?! It sounds like he's on a rampage!" Ace sighs. (First POV) I looked in the mirror, inspecting the uniform Crowley gave me
In the mirror chamber
"Woah, what are all these mirrors doing here?" [y/n] questions in amazement. "These mirrors are connected to all the dorms, yours is on campus but the others are far away" deuce explained.
I stepped through the portal and was welcomed by the sight of a big building and a maze made of bushes full of red and white roses. "This looks so awesome..." I said, mesmerized by the scenery. "Better than your dorm, that's for sure" Ace smirked. "It's a work in progress!" I frowned. "This is our dorm. Heartslabyul Dorm for The Queen of Hearts" Deuce informed "Who's that?" Grim points into the maze at an orange haired male holding a pen "Need to hurry and paint these roses red–oops! Almost missed one, I can't do that or I'm sure to lose my head!" seems like he's talking to himself...wait, painting roses red? "Deja vu.." I muttered to myself
"HEY!What are ya doin over there?!" Grim walks over to the Ginger "Me? I'm painting the roses of course!" the ginger enthusiastically responds "Why would you do that?" "That's such a fresh reaction, it's adorable! Now that I look at you, aren't you the first years that have been causing a ruckus on their first day? Not once but twice?!" the ginger questions "How do you know about that?.." Ace grimaces at the thought "The whole dorm is talking about it and I get to meet the infamous duo first thing in the morning! Let's take a selfie!" He pulls both Deuce and Ace close to him as he takes a photo, Me and Grim awkwardly stand close behind not knowing what to do.
"Tell me your names so I can tag you on Magicam" magicam? "Deuce Spade" "Ace..." "Grim and His minion!" "I'm not your minion!, What is Magicam anyway?" I questioned "It's a platform for uploading pictures and share them with other users" Ace answered. I have something like that in my world too.. I pondered "The name's Cater Diamond by the way but you can call me Cay-Cay~, I'm a third year student which makes me your upper classmen" Cater introduces himself. "I'm [Y/N] Universe" "Nice to meet you [N/N], Charmed I'm sure" Cater chatters "You're that new prefect of The Ramshackle dorm, right? Seriously, How can anyone live there? It's so gloomy, the opposite of magicammable..." Cater empathizes "It's not that bad...." I sulked
"Ah! Can't be slacking around, Wanna help me paint the roses? I have a ton of workload to do so I could really use the help ""Why would you need to paint the roses anyway?" Ace questioned "It makes the roses pop when you're throwing a party–" "A party! I knew it!" Grim exclaimed "So it was for someone's birthday" Me and Grim interrogated "No, it's for our traditional unbirthday party, We have to choose a day when no one's having a birthday and we have a tea party" sounds fun "Dee-Dee and Grimmy can use magic right? And Acey and [N/N] can't so...you can paint manually" Cater handed me and ace a bucket of red paint and couple of paint brushes
"Don't call us that.." We all stated."You want me to change the color with magic?" Deuce doubts "It's real easy..just relax aaaandd there!" Cater flicks his pen and the white roses changed red woah! That's so cool! Maybe I could do that? I approached a bush of white roses and started painting them "See it's simple, just picture them in the color you want them to be and cast a spell" Cater continues as the Deuce and Grim struggle, turning every rose everything but red or burning them
Thirty minutes later
"Can't we just leave it red? It's still pretty" Ace frowned "Nope, this is part of the rules, On the day of the Merry Unbirthday, the roses must be red!" Cater yaps hmmm... "We play croquet using flamingos–..." I wonder what happened to connie..."Oh. But the roses are white for.." she must be scared, no she can handle herself...but being alone in space is still dangerous "Riddle takes everything very seriously of all the housewardens in heartslabyul history, he's one of the strictest when it comes to.." no, i'm sure lars would find her before anything bad happens! What was our mission in the first place?.... "--Kidding me!" Ace shouts "If you're going to live in this dorm, you–" .....Wasn't it about that ship?...Esmeralda? Was that the gem's name? Well whatever it was, I hope she didn't catch up to them–
"I'm gonna have to ask you to leave." Huh? "I am he and we are they. Split Card!" Multiple Caters appear in front of us "HE MULTIPLIED???" We stood in shock "Get rid of these guys, 'kay?" Cater commanded his clones "Aye, aye, sir" the clones started to approach us. I rushed to shield Deuce, Ace and Grim, before I could even think or before the clones laid a finger on me. My bubble surrounded me and the others...no one really said anything clearly in awe that the supposedly magicless student was able to summon a whole shield out of nowhere.
"And here I thought you had no magic, isn't that exciting?" Cater smirked. "It was really nice meeting you..Cater but we'll be on our way!" I pushed on the bubble making it roll and pushed towards the mirror, tripping in the process. All of us rolls around in the bubble until we reached the other side of the mirror in which the bubble dispels. "....what. the. hell. Was that?? You have magic?!" Ace remarks "It's a long story...i'll tell you next time– RIING!! "That's the first bell, we should be going...
