[ Alice.in.writing.land ]

Dear readers,

First of all thank you for all your well wishes. I had a most lovely cake baking weekend. Both literally and figuratively speaking.

The literal cake is mostly gone now - yes I had some friends over last night, so don’t worry about me feasting on the whole thing on my own. I mean..I would never..ever…Okay, I admit it, I would have totally eaten that whole cake if it weren’t for my friends.

And the figurative cake? Well let’s just say a most curious thing happened and the figurative cake is as chocolaty as it could get - with cherries on top. Which, perhaps might just be too good to be true, but that is a concern for another day as I’ll first be spending all my love and attention on another piece of cake this week; babysitting a 3-year old for 3 days straight.

Yes, you read that right; Ali, the 37-year old single is going to be responsible for a 3-year old fairy princess..whom I happen to share my first name with. Alice and Alice, going on a tiny but mighty three day adventure, right into the rabbit hole of temp mom-hood.

My life is getting curiouser and curiouser indeed.

Ali.

‘Oh thank you SO much, Ali. I hate to ask this of you. But you know how Alice is with flying and it was last minute and..-‘

‘It’s fine Maddie. Really. And I’m glad I can help out.’ I followed Maddie into the hallway of her and Frank’s absurdly large home - my residence for the next three days.

‘So your mom’s stable for now?’ I inquired, looking at the suitcases that were already waiting on the black and white checkered tiles - by the looks of it neatly packed, though the haste was great; her mom needed immediate surgery and Maddie wished to be there for her. Which meant flying. And leaving her toddler Alice behind.

‘Yea, it seems like everything’s under control. But we just want to be there for her you know. It’s still quite a serious operation she’ll be having and she’ll need some help the first days…And.. you know how she is. She’s an old peach who is far too stubborn to ask for help.’ Maddie rolled her eyes in amusement. We both chuckled. ‘Well no worries about the home front, me and my fellow Alice will surely have a splendid time.’

‘Ugh you are the best.’ Maddie sighed, walking us into the kitchen where the little princess was eating her breakfast.

‘Hey you!’ I cheered, immediately noticing the large pout on Alice’s face.

‘She’s a little cranky today. Aren’t you sweet angel?’

’No!’ Alice retorted with an even larger pout, her tiny eyebrows furrowing in disdain.

Oh, she was in a foul mood.

I decided to not pay any attention to her heart wrenching pout and picked up a banana from the fruit bowl, my hands starting to peel it while Maddie continued to fuss over Alice. I watched the two - grumbling toddler, fussing mom - and couldn’t help but chuckle when it became quite obvious that the kid’s scowl was a ruse; as soon as Maddie turned away to clean up Alice’s bowl, the tiniest of smirks curled up on her toddler lips.

I grinned and winked at her.

Mischievous little thing!

‘Alright. Time we get going.’ Maddie nodded, sighing away a bit of the stress, her eyes flicking back to the hallway. ‘FRANK!’ She hollered, her impatient feet already walking back through the hallway, heel taps echoing through the quiet house. ‘FRANK! Time to go!’

Just then Frank appeared through the backdoor of the kitchen, his head popping around the corner and his ever friendly face quirking up a bushy, inquisitive eyebrow.

I nodded at the hallway and Frank sniffled. ‘Wife dear! Over here!’

It was near comical to see Maddie rush back into the kitchen, her shoulders rising high as she gave Frank a most exasperated look.

‘I was readying the car.’ He shrugged, not seeing what all the fuss was about, making Maddie sigh in slight annoyance before she turned back to coo over Alice once more. ‘Alright alright. Okay my love. OHH! I’ll miss you my baby sweet pea. I’ll call you every day! And don’t forget to brush your teeth! I love you..’ She pressed a kiss on the girl’s left cheek. ‘..I love you..’ She pressed another kiss on her right cheek. ‘..I love you!’ She exclaimed, pressing a final kiss right between the toddler’s frowning eyebrows.

I stepped in, picking up the pouting girl whilst Maddie and Frank started their way back into the hallway.

‘You know where everything is.’

‘Yep.’ I nodded, hoisting Alice a little higher on my hip, the front door now opened and the suitcases rolling out onto the door step.

‘Okay.’ Maddie sighed, stepping back to Alice once more and pressing a kiss on her forehead, then half-hugged me, leaving one hand on my shoulder: ‘Thanks, Ali, really. Thank you so much.’

‘It’s okay Mads. Now off you go. Don’t want to miss your plane.’

‘Yes! Alright! See you in three days! I’ll call you tonight!’

‘Alright! Good luck! We’ll send pictures!’

—

It was near lunch time and with a toddler in my wake I walked towards my parents house. I could hear her tiny feet trotting behind me, stopping every few steps to pick a flower or watch a bird.

The reason of our little excursion was quite silly; my morning brain had forgotten to remind me that I wished to bring my laptop to Frank and Maddie’s home, and thus we had to go back to my parent’s place to go pick it up.

‘Ali Ali look!’ Little Alice pulled the hem of my skirt and I followed the direction of her pointing finger, seeing Marianne approach us - Henry’s mom-, a familiar dog leashed in her right hand. It was quite a funny vision; the absolutely huge and slightly clumsy akita walking next to the tiny, but well-put together lady.

Marianne smiled and waved at us and before I knew it little Alice started running towards Marianne - her tiny legs surprisingly fast. I widened my eyes, a sudden mother instinct kicking in; what if she fell? What if..ooph..the tarmac would tear her tender skin right open! Or.. what if Kal got over excited?

Quickly I ran after her, picking her up. ‘Woosh!!’ I said, dragging her through the air like she was flying. The toddler chuckled in delight, stretching her arms as if she were Superman. ‘Wieeeeee!!!!’ She exclaimed, my feet now speeding up as the soft morning wind brushed through her yellow blond curls, my poor arms protesting as I was not quite strong enough to hold up a toddler.

Marianne laughed heartily, shortening the leash so Kal couldn’t jump up at me and Alice, her feet halting just before she reached us. I quickly put Alice back on my hip and winked at the happy toddler, her cheeks glowing as another giggle burst through.

‘Hello Alice..and Alice.’ Marianne smiled.

‘Hi Marianne. Got a new dog?’ I winked, to which Marianne chuckled. ‘No, no. Though what a darling bear it is. Aren’t you Kal?’ She ruffled a hand through Kal’s fur, the dog looking up in curiosity, tail wagging happily. She continued: ‘No I just wished to help Henry out for a bit. His schedule changed rather last minute, so he has other things on his mind right now. Calling..rescheduling..calling..you know how that goes.’

‘I can figure. How’s Colin?’

‘Good. His sturdy old self.’ She smiled, her eyes moving towards little Alice. ‘So are you girls out on a stroll as well?’ She asked the toddler.

‘No! Ali forgot her thingy.’ The toddler shook her head, then pointed at my parents house.

‘Ah..the thingy.’ Marianne nodded, scrunching her nose in amusement as she looked back at me.

‘Yep. The thingy.’ I nodded, feigning pure seriousness.

We all laughed for a moment before Alice reached out to Kal, wishing to be put down to pet the dog.

‘Careful Alice.’ I whispered, turning my back towards the dog so I could keep Kal away for a moment longer as I placed the toddler before him. ‘Reach out your hand and let him come to you, sniff you for a bit.’

‘That’s like saying hello.’ Marianne added, letting Kal approach. Kal’s tail wagged with great excitement, but the rest of the dog’s stance was calm and cautious, his nose pressing into the toddler’s hand, making her squirm in delight. Kal responded with a big fat lick over her tiny palm, the two quite clearly getting along perfectly well.

Marianne looked at me, trusting Kal was the goodest of boys - the dog clearly calm enough to let the encounter go safe and smooth. ‘You would never guess what Henry asked of me yesterday.’ She smiled.

‘What?’ I asked, my eyebrow lifting in curiosity.

‘Oh,’ She waved her hand through the air, as if it was a silly thing to talk about. ‘I’m sure he wishes to show you that himself.’ She said mysteriously, an amused glint glittering in her deep blue eyes.

I bit the inside of my cheek as I observed Alice and Kal coo over each other. What was Kal’s owner up to, hmm? What..oh..what was he up to? I felt my heart flutter for a moment as my eyes drifted towards the Cavill’s house, not far in the distance. The place where Henry was currently making those three gazillion phone calls.

Curiouser and curiouser indeed..

The Anchor King of Vanity

>It’s time.

Time to show him real news.

It’ll be the story of the century.

Heh heh! I can see the bulletin now.

Then let’s get going!

>Mona becomes our van and we drive off to take Chaz Monerainian’s heart.

>Meanwhile in the studio of A. Nigma High School, Chaz was once again hogging the camera and poor Tina Kwee is nowhere in sight.

So Principal General Barrage is now asking all students, teachers, and even our visitors to assemble in the gym to find out who sent me, Chaz Monerainian, that Phantom Thieves calling card. This is Chaz Monerainian and this has been Chaz’s Corner!

>With that, the broadcast ended.

News Team Member 1: Are you sure it was wise to kick Tina out of the News Team, Chaz? What if that calling card is because of how your treat her.

News Team Member 2: He’s right, man. What you’re doing does seem a little... Villainous.

Chaz: What can I say? In the media game, you do whatever it takes.

>The two News Team members just stare at him. Then finally, they just sigh in defeat and leave to get ready for the assembly.

Chaz: Well that’s how my father said it.

?????: Then yer father’s an idiot. No wonder yer so messed up.

Chaz: !

>A red wave passes over him. When it was over, Chaz was now in a castle where there was a room full of mirrors, a throne, and on that throne was an apple, clearly poisoned.

???????: You put others down just for your own popularity.

???: You claim that you’re a piece of art, but all I see is a mess.

?????: You have a dark heart that limes for the spotlight. But we’ll be taking both.

>Suddenly, ten mirrors broke open and we step in... I hope this doesn’t mean 70 years bad luck.

Joker: Target: Chaz Monerainian.

You are suppose to spread the news of what really happens at your school, but you talk more about yourself.

Yer a lyin’ piece of shit that you would push anyone just to get all the fame and glory.

You even hurt a girl who wanted to do her job to the best of her abilities to satisfy your own desires.

You even once criminalized the man she loved for attention.

As thieves of justice, we cannot allow this to go on any longer.

You will pay for your cruel ways and your vanity.

Spirit: Tina’s future depends on us taking your distortion and making you see the error of your ways.

Mona: We will take your Treasure and succeed in our mission.

Joker: We are the Phantom Thieves and we will take your heart!

Chaz: You can’t do that. I kind of need my heart to make me a great news caster.

Panther: You’re anything but great. You’ve completely replaced the news with your show. How will anyone know what’s really going on at A. Nigma High?

Spirit: I’m surprised Barrage is letting you get away with this.

Chaz: That’s because he recognizes talent when he sees it. Even without that robotic eye of his.

Queen: No. It’s because he’s doing his job. But we’re going to remind him that he has to enforce the rules on all of the students. Including you.

Spirit: Now you’re going to know what it’s like being a Detentionaire. Look like Lee Ping and Biffy Goldstein are about to have some company.

>With fury growing inside him, Chaz’s eyes become a gold color.

Shadow Chaz: You dare speak to your king like this!? I shall have your head on the chopping block for this. Mirror mirror on the wall, help me defeat these thieves once and for all.

>With that, the Shadow changes his form.

Oracle: Persona!

>Necronomicon scans the Shadow.

Oracle Got it! Oberon is weak to Nuclear moves.

Queen: This is my area. Persona!

>I change Personas.

Joker: Persona!

Noir: I’ll help too just in case. Persona!

Spirit: Me, too. Persona!

>Spirit summons his Persona, Tokebi.

>Oberon uses Summon.

Oberon: Now, my dear fan, let us broadcast a very special edition of Chaz’s Corner!

Skull: In your dreams, pal!

Queen: Right. Soon, your little fan here will see the truth about you. Let’s go, Johanna!

>Johanna uses Freila on Oberon. It knocks him down. Queen passes the Baton to Noir and Milady uses Psio on Titania. However, she dodges it. Thoth uses Taunt on Titania. It enrages her. Milady uses Psio on Titania. It got her this time and it was more effective since Titania was enraged.

Noir: Time to punish them!

>After the attack, Oberon and Titania were still up. Still enraged, Titania attacks me. Oberon uses Nocturnal Flash. Luckily, it missed all of us. Johanna uses Marakukaja to raise our defense. Thoth uses Freila on Oberon. It knocks him down. I pass the Baton to Noir and Milady uses Psio on Titania again. It knocks her down again.

Joker: Let’s do it!

>After the attack, Oberon and Titania are still stand. Titania was now weaker. Then, Tokebi uses Zionga on Oberon. He didn’t get shocked this time. Titania, still enraged, attacks Spirit. Oberon uses Brave Blade on me. It takes a lot of health out of me. Luckily, Johanna uses Diarama to heal me. Then, Thoth uses Psy Wall on Queen. Milady uses Tetrakarn on Spirit. Tokebi uses Zionga again on Oberon. This time, it shocks him.

Spirit: You’re free to attack, Queen.

Queen: I’ll see to it.

Joker: So will I.

>Titania hesitates and Oberon is disabled from Shock. Johanna uses Freidyne on Oberon. It knocked him down and was super effective because of the Shock. Queen passes the Baton to Noir and Milady uses Psiodyne on Titania. Titania is gone. Noir attacks Oberon. Luckily, she didn’t get Shocked. Thoth uses Freila again. Milady uses One-shot Kill. And Tokebi uses Assault Dive. Now Oberon was getting weak.

Oberon: This is the story of the century! I won’t let you take this from me!

>Oberon uses Maziodyne. It leaves me Shocked.

Spirit: Don’t worry. I’ll handle it.

>Queen and Noir defend themselves and I am unable to move. Tokebi uses Baisudi on me and cures me of the Shock.

Oberon: You little shit! I’LL KILL YOU!

>Oberon uses Brave Blade on Spirit. Luckily, the Tetrakarn protects him and the attack reflects back at Oberon. It was a critical hit.

Spirit: Here goes nothing!

>After the attack, the Shadow resumes his normal form and a familiar light comes out of him.

Mona: And here we have the Treasure!

>I take the Treasure. It was a toy microphone.

Chaz: All I’ve ever wanted was to become a reporter just like my father and his father before him. I wanted to do whatever it takes.

Noir: Even if it means making others miserable? Even pursuing your dreams shouldn’t be done at the expense of others.

Queen: You have to better plan your future to make sure that it works out for everyone and not just you.

Chaz: ...

Crow: A real reporter tells only the truth of what is happening in their community and not just with themselves. You need to think more clearly before you decided what should be shown to others.

Joker: From now on, tell the truth when it needs to be told and don’t make it all about you.

Chaz: ... Okay. I’ll think twice before I decide what I should talk about before I get on the air. I’ll even apologize to Tina for giving her the boot. I promise as a Monerainian.

>With that, the Shadow returns to his true self.

Mona: We’ll hold you to that.

Spirit: I hope it works. Tina really needs this.

It will. Don’t worry.

>With the Treasure in our possession, we leave the now disappearing Palace.

>In the school gym, Principal General Barrage had gathered everyone, including us, to find out who sent Chaz the calling card.

You maggots know why I called you here! One of you sent this to the school news room! (begins brandishing the calling card) Just because it’s not in your handwriting doesn’t mean we can’t identify you. Later after I dismiss detention, I am taking this to Public Safety Canada where they have experts in this sort of identification! So these Phantom Thieves had better turn themselves in now if they wish to avoid not only expulsion or being fired, whichever the case may be, but also an arrest!

>Suddenly, the gym doors open and in comes Chaz Monerainian. He slumps all the way to the stage.

Barrage: About time you showed up, Mr. Monerainian!

Chaz: I... I have something to say... I’ve been... Taking advantage of my position as senior anchor of the school news team... I’ve been manipulating information to gain more popularity to be more like my father. I even... Ruined Tina Kwee’s chances for my own gain... I’ve abused my status to even make the goodest of students look bad.. (begins tearing up) I’m nothing but a bad lousy reporter! I’ve ruined everyone’s lives! How... How could I possibly... Pay for all this!? (sobbing)

>Chaz was on his knees sobbing like mad. As for Barrage... He was a different kind of mad.

Barrage: WHAT IN TARNATION HAPPENED HERE!?

>Everyone just stared for a moment in silence.

Barrage: Fine! I’ll give the guilty party one last chance. Step forward or pay the consequences!

(whisper) This looks bad.

(also whispering) Not to worry. Me and Biffy came up with something.

(also whispering) You’ll love it. Watch this.

>Futaba presses something on her phone and a projection screen comes down. Then, the Phantom Thieves logo is projected on it and Futaba’s altered voice is heard.

Hello, A. Nigma High School. I am Phantom Thief Alibaba and we had just taken the heart of Chaz Monerainian. And also, by the time you are watching this, we are already half way out of Canada. So go ahead. Send that calling card to be examined, it won’t do you any good now. They don’t even know how we did it. This Alibaba, out.

>The message ended. Barrage was furious, but knew the message was right. In his frustration, he crushes the calling card.

Barrage: What are you maggots all looking at!? Assembly dismissed!

>Everyone came out and were either talking about what happened out loud or on their phones.

I can’t believe the Phantom Thieves actually did it.

Can’t really say Chaz didn’t deserve it. The way he flaunted his popularity like that.

Now the guy’s just as cursed as we are. Something I really won’t forget while I’m at Horizon.

Alright, y’all. Back to class.

(chatting on her phone) OMG, what a waste of time. I was in the middle of setting up an appointment at the salon. Oh well, I’ll just go back to tormenting Biffy. I know it seems wrong, but I just love his company. But still, the Phantom Thieves were here at our school?

I know. I kinda reminds my of dad’s movie: Ace Von Chillstein in High School Thieves Guild. I wonder if I’m the main character in this brand new story... Am I the one they call Joker?

(noticing them texting each other even though they’re right next to each other) You know, there are a couple of seats with your name on it that need to be filled. So I suggest you hurry.

You know what I just realized. All this Phantom Thief business happened when those students came here to look for people interested in transferring to Horizon High.

You’ve noticed that, too?

Are you sayin’ that there’s somethin’ suspicious about them? You better not. There’s no way they’re guilty of something. Like that Yusuke guy. I know he seems weird, but he’s gotta style that’s definitely earned my respect.

You’re so compassionate, Chopper. I also love that about you. (sighs) It’s really going to make me miss you while you’re in New York.

Chopper: Don’t worry, Beth. Me and Emmett will be staying at my uncle’s place there. And I’ll message you everyday. You’ll away be in my heart, babe.

Beth: Aww, thank you. You’ll always be in mine.

Irwin: Oh, brother. What do those two see in each other.

Grayson: You’ll understand when you have someone for you. For now, let’s just head to class. It looks like Barrage is heading this way.

(translating skater slang) Heh! What a great prank! ... It is a prank, right?

Who knows, bro. Those P Thieves aren’t like a lotta people. They’ve actually changed a few hearts.

Including in New York. Like that octopus teacher at Horizon.

And let’s not forget Spider-Man and Norman Osborn’s son... I mean, Peter Parker and Harry Lyman.

Fred (Blonde Skater): Speaking of which, you sure you and Ted wanna go to that nerd school?

Ned: Me and Ted do love being Skaters, but we wanna give something new a try.

Ted: Besides, we get to go to New York. Now I can show up my damn cousin, Chris.

Ned: That, too.

Zed: Okay. Just don’t forget, we’re always bros and since I just got my license (which was not easy since I keep almost crashing during my driver’s test), it’s only an 8 hour dive.

>The four skaters fist bumped.

I’m glad to see such close and devoted friends are willing to go a long ways... Just hope you have travel papers and passports. Now you better get going. Classes are starting again.

Phantom Thieves, You've taken my heart But nothing will tear Our bond apart

How was that?

Rud the Drummer: A little forced, but very true.

Cyrus: It’s a working progress.

Goob the Bassist: I’m sure you’ll get it soon, Cyrus.

Skeeter the Guitarist: Hopefully before the end of this summer.

Rud: You know I still think it’s a bit of a shame that we’re using that science school as an excuse to get to New York.

Cyrus: Can we help it that Ross Caliban saw our number one hit, Go It Solo, and liked it so much that he asked us to come over to New York to perform a collaboration?

Rud: I guess.

Cyrus: Relax, guys. I already know enough science to help us at Horizon. No cheating this time. It’s just plain old studying.

Goob: And you can count on us to help you along the way.

Cyrus: I know... Thanks, guys.

Grr!

Cyrus: Okay, okay! We’re goin’! Jeez, since when did the Tazelwurm care about education?

>In a classroom.

Aww, man, we’re awesome!

It’s just shame Holger was in class when Phantom of Thieves did heist.

Lee: Maybe next time, Holg.

Wait until the after school report, this will be the story of the century.

Just try not to go overboard like Chaz.

Tina: You can bet on that.

It looked like your principal was serious about turning in the calling card.

He had a complicated past. Military.

Alright, settle down! Class is about to start!

Lee: Sorry, Mom. I mean, Mrs. Ping.

>Suddenly, the door opened.

I hope I’m not disturbing class.

Mrs. Ping: No we were just about to start.

Lee: Why are you here, Dad?

Mrs. Ping: Principal Barrage said that school will be closing early today. So your father’s treating us to lunch at a restaurant today... Now take your seat! As for you visitors, go keep my husband company outside.
