-Elise's POV(yes, again.)-

"Thank you!" I squeezed my left hand into a fist, relieved to see that it didn't hurt as much. The First Aid crew at the Amusement Park had cheerfully fixed me up, stating that it was just a fracture and would heal up in a few time periods.

That really made me wonder the difference in time from our world and this one... Had it been a week yet? Would we be sent back home, or would we have to stay here forever because I made a deal with the Dream Thief, Indigo?

'~The Fabulous, Dear~. ~Indigo the Fabulous~.'

...COULD YOU SHUT UP ALREADY?

Indigo was NOT leaving me alone.

"You're welcome, patron!" a faceless Amusement Park worker chirped. Tracy was sitting in a chair at the other end of the room, talking to Boris. Boris looked up at me with a smile and I slid off the bed to talk to them.

"How's the arm?" Tracy asked.

"Oh, I'm fine." I replied. "It'll heal soon." Boris's ears flicked again, and I stared at them, enchanted. After a second, I pounced on him and hugged him the best I could with one arm. "You stupid cat! Squeeeeee!"

"Uhm..." Boris made a face that was kind of like this: -////-. Tracy just laughed.

"A-Ah- Sorry!" I cried, letting go of Boris's adorable right ear.

"Whatever..." Boris muttered, an embarrassed look on his face as he averted his eyes. I was horrified. Why couldn't I control myself... Around cute, widdle, twitching cat ears?

...I don't think I can even answer that.

Boris quickly found me a room at the Amusement Park's residential building when I asked if I could stay there and explained my situation. Tracy said her goodbyes after I thanked her, saying she would visit often. I also met Gowland(full name Mary Gowland, as Boris whispered to me afterwards...), the park's owner and a really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really bad musician.

...Like a scarily bad musician. Anyways, Gowland had an interesting taste in outfits, orange, brown, and blue seeming to be his choice colors. He always had a oddly-shaped violin with him, which if he starts to play, you should run as far as you can as fast as you can.

So far, everyone I'd met at the Amusement Park was really nice. After a time period, I started to feel attached to it's people and place. There were lots of attractions, of course, and Boris literally kidnapped me and shoved me on the ferris wheel(I'm terrified of heights!).

I felt really comfortable with the people in the Amusement Park, unlike Hatter Mansion. I only hoped my friends were okay...

I wonder if they would find Indigo before their time here was up. I really had just given up that easily, let it go. I accepted the fact that quickly that this would be my home.

...was that wrong?

I wanted to go home, but for some reason, all my memories of home were faded, muddled. They were clear before, but... I couldn't remember where I lived, except it was in New York City... I couldn't remember the interior of my home. I didn't know my family, but my friends were clear in my mind.

"Elise?" I looked up, realizing that Boris was staring at me.

"Oh, yeah, sorry. I was just saying that I wanted to go for a walk..."

"Hmm." Boris' eyebrows furrowed. "T-That's fine, just watch out. This world is plenty dangerous, as you've experienced. I just feel bad you met the Hatters before the rest of the world. But go ahead, you should explore and meet everyone. Be careful with the arm."

I nodded and smiled. "Thanks! I'll be back!"
