"Bendy, where are you? Bendy?" Alice had been walking through the halls for hours on end trying to look for Bendy. Alice sighed as she looked at Boris's still corpse. She kept walking after a minute of standing. She kept calling Bendy again. Several minutes had passed when she also encountered the room with the sketchbook. She remembered that Bendy was in that room the last time she saw him. She looked at the sketchbook and attempted to grab it, only to get absorbed into it as well.

Alice landed on her back, making her have to endure the pain inflicted on the back of her head. She sat up and said, "Where am I?" She kept rubbing the back of her head. When the pain died down, Alice stood up and looked at her outfit and noticed that it was different as well, a black dress that barely reached her knees decorated white ribbon lacing the collar and another wrapped around the waist. Lace boardered the bottom of the dress. Not exactly her style, but it was comfortable.

She began walking in the same direction Bendy went. She arrived to the clearing and looked around. She saw a dark figure nearby surrounded by what looked like robots. Alice jumped off the ledge and got slightly closer to the figure. The outline got clearer as she got closer. She stopped when she found out that the figure was her little devil darling, hugging himself and kicking the robots back. She stood there in disbelief for a minute or 2 and then ran towards him. To get through the robots, whom were circling Bendy, she had to kick some of the metallic bastards with as much force as she could, which wasn't much. She was a lady, not a fighter. When she reached the center, Bendy turned to look at her and jumped back. "ALICE?!" He exclaimed, "What the hell are you doing here?!" Alice stomped on one of robots, crushing it with her heel. She replied, "To help you silly!" She punched a robot that resembled a wasp, barely dodging a beam from hitting her.

After a bit of attacking, no more robots were after the two so Alice went to get some sort of herb from the forest. She came back with an odd leaf, the edges lined with thorns. She grabbed Bendy's arm, but didn't grip it tightly like previous times before. She pulled him over to a rock nearby. "Thank God they have Aloe Vera plants in the forest." She began to make the leaf into transparent gel. When she was finished, she applied it to Bendy's arm and back. She then put the rest of the see-through goop inside an abandoned jar. "Feel better?" "Umm... It still hurts but a bit less." Bendy answered, looking at Alice with a small smile.

The duo stood up and walked back to the spot where they were before, only to spot the other group, the one that fought Eggman, standing and apparently waiting for someone: Bendy. Alice blankly looked at the group as the 5 members glared at her. The twin-tailed fox walked up to the angel and stuck out his hand, "Hi! My name's Miles Tails Prower but you can call me Tails. Alice smiled, grabbed his hand and said, "Why hello Tails! My name is Alice. Who are your friends over there?" Tails turned to face his friends and went from left to right, "That's Amy, that's Knuckles, third's Sonic, and finally, Sticks." Alice waved hello and then turned around, seeing a jealous Bendy with arms crossed. Tails continued "Oh and that's-" "Bendy." Alice interrupted, "Please don't play jealous with me." Bendy just quietly growled. "Aw.... Come on, please?" Alice tried again, this time hugging him. Bendy sighed, "I just can't stay mad at you, can I." Alice smiled, "No you can't. Ever." Bendy just laughed at that comment, Alice soon joining in. After a moment of laughter, Bendy said, "Okay, shut up. Let's just go find a place to stay."
    
It took a bit of time before they agreed on where Alice and Bendy should stay. It was kind of like a schedule. The two guests would follow (not stalk 😐) Sonic and his pals around so they can look after them, and when they can't, the two friends need to look after each other. Alice and Bendy would stay at Amy's. They appeared to be the type who likes things to be organized, so she agreed that they should stay at her place, just as long as they keep the place organized. Bendy was really worried about his ink problem and what effect it will have on her upon seeing.

     It was so quiet at the end of the tour that it was almost scary. Bendy wasn't used to this so he just started to talk to Alice. "Great day, right?" He said nicely while looking at the sky. "Yep. I doubt there's anything else aside from such a perfect weather." Alice replied, interested as well. "It does rain here though. It can also get a bit windy." Tails added, making both of them turn and face the fox. "Umm... Okay?" Bendy said, clearly not knowing what to say. He followed them once again in silence. Bendy smiled as he looked at his surroundings. It was bright and so diverse, unlike the studio, dreadfully silent and filled with painful memories carved into the back of their minds. "Bendy?" Alice asked, and then raised her voice, "Bendy!" This scared the hell out of him. "Yikes! Alice! Don't do that!" Alice smiled, "Thank god. You scared me. I thought you had one of those seizures." She said, winking at Bendy. He looked at her confused. "Are you coming?" Amy called. Aside from Amy and Tails, the rest of the group seemed to have gone some where else. Alice responded, "We're on our way!" She grabbed Bendy's hand and ran towards them. When the 2 got there, Amy looked at Bendy and asked, "Umm... Bendy? Are you sure you're okay?" Bendy replied nervously, "Yep. I'm okay! I... Just have a lot on my mind." Alice walked up to him, "Missing home?" "Yeah." Said Bendy.
