Ace, Karter, and Jammie entered short cut as the door closed behind them.

" Hmm this looks very similar to Heartslabyul but instead of a cable it looks a bit more like a mansion." Ace said aloud

"What's Heartslabyul?" Jammie asked

" Oh Right! Karter I believe I told you and Jammie about going to a school called NRC right?" Ace asked

" Yes You did in passing." Jammie responded.

" NRC has 7 dorms….well technically it's now  8. Heartslabyul is based of the strict rules of the Queen of Hearts, Sahvanna Claw is based on the cunning nature if the king of beasts, Octinvinelle is based on the benevolence of the see witch,Scarbia is based in the planning and patience of the Sorcerer of Sands, Pomefiore is based on the determination and tenacity of the Beautiful Queen,Ignihidr is based on the diligence of The Lord Of The Underworld and Diasomnia is based on the Elegance of the Witch Of Thorns. Then there is Ramshackle which only has two students and no classifications but If I had to give it one Ramshackle Ramshackle is for those who travel and are free spirit's. Students of Ramshake demand respect and are good with control. They are kind but Strict. I think highly of the students of Ramshackle. Not only because we are good friends but because of how resourceful they are." Ace explained

" I would love to be a part of Ramshackle, they seem cool." Karter exclaimed

" Really? I think Scarbia would be even cooler." Jammie said to Karter. They were both still in plush form.

" They are both cool!" Ace said laughing at the two bickering plushies.

" Ace, what dorm do you think we would be in?" Karter asked. Jammie let out a sound of agreement.

" Hmmm For Karter It's between Heartslabyul and Ramshackle….But I think Ramshackle is the best fit. You have that same air of respect as Yuu does but you also have that air of fun and defiance Grim has. OH! Yuu is the Dormleader of Ramshackle while Grim is the only other inhabitant of the dorm...I guess in all technicality he would be the Vice Dormleader. It's never been confirmed though." Ace responded.

" That's cool! But what about Jammie?" Karter asked.

" Jammie again it's between two dorms. Scarabia or Heartslabyul. Though Scarabia would be the best option. Your alot like the Vice Dorm Leader IN. Terms of you being Cautious and Patient. Matter of Fact you two reminded me a lot of the Dormleader and Vice Dormwarden for Scarabia…..Speaking of the two I have something I want to ask of you two…" Ace said trailing off at the end.

" What is it?" Jammie asked.

" Always be honest with each other...Jammie if you feel suffocated by Karter's present or vice versa. Please tell each other and resolve it peacefully. I don't want you ending up in a Similar situation as Kalim and Jamil. They are the Dormleader and Vice of Scarbia." Ace said. I also don't know Karter and Jammie's relationship but in the future if it becomes anything romantic I don't want them having that same air of sexual tension I could Cut with a knife He thought. Damn Cater was really rubbing off on him

" Ok I understand," Karter said as Jammie nodded. The three continued on their way when they walked past a hedge with red paint flying over it. Soon they heard singing.

" We're Painting the Roses Red!

 We're Painting the roses red!

We dare not stop or waste a drop so let the paint be spread!"

Ace smiled; this was the same song he and the other members of Heartslabyul would sing whenever they helped out in the Rose maze. He walked to the opening to that part of the maze and saw 3 soldiers in Black armor with Clubs/Clovers on it. One had 3 Clubs, the other 2, and the last one 1. Jammie and Karter were confused but Ace continued to listen as he walked forward.

"We're Painting the roses red!

And then a tear we shed!

Because we know they'll series to grow~

In fact they'll soon be dead~

NOOOO!

 And yet we go ahead!

We're Painting the roses red!

Painting the roses red!

We're painting the roses red!"

The soldiers then moved to the next tree and took their paint buckets as Ace walked up behind them. Karter and Jammie Turned back to normal. Karter than sang back.

"Oh pardon me but Mr Three why must you paint them red?"

Karter sang.

" Huh?" They all said at once before responding.

" Oh the fact is we planted the white roses by mistake!" Three responded.

"ANNNND The Queen she liked them red!

And she might be so mad! 

She raises a fuss and Each of us will each lose his head!" 

The Trio sang.

" She might be even more mad if she hears what you say about her….but if Jammie and Karter agree we will help you." Ace said looking at the boy's who shook their heads yes in excitement before they grabbed a brush. Ace just extended his hand and started chatting the color change spells he learned.

" Then let us help you!" The kids yelled as they started to sing with the soldiers Ace joining in.

"K+A+J: We're Painting the Roses red!

All: We're Painting the Roses red!

Don't tell the Queen of what you've seen or that is what we said!

But we're painting the roses red.

K+J: Yes, painting the roses red!

Ace: Not pink! Not Green! Not Aquamarine!

All: We're Painting the roses red!" 

They finished the song and then a Horn Blew and a Loud Female voice that reminded Ace of Sebek's Yelled.

"  ALL SOLDIERS FALL INLINE OR BOW THE QUEEN IS HERE!" They yelled.

" The queen!" The soldiers yelled as they scrambled to clean. Ace waved his hand painting a few more roses before he used his magic to help. Karter and Jammie were confused so they just did as the soldiers did. Then when the soldiers rushed to a certain spot to bow Ace and the boys did the same. Ace quickly showed the boys the correct thing to do and by then the Soldiers had come in. They were doing a dance number that Ace had to keep himself from laughing at. Sometimes Riddle had the Heartslabyul students do the same thing. Blackjack also had a game similar to this they would play when they were younger. Soon a older woman's voice yelled out.

"CARDS HALT!" She yelled

JACK!"

All the Soldiers yelled as they split and Shiro Came running in with his horn.

" Shiro…" Ace whispered as he looked at Karter and Jammie who went back to plush form. Good Ace thought.

" Her Imperial Highness! Her Grace! Her Excellency! Her royal Majesty! The Queen Of Hearts!" Shiro yelled as A woman with a Black and Red Split dress came in. She was accompanied by 4 others and the inhabitants of wonderland Ace had met( minus Angelina. Fuck you) The queen stopped at the entrance, gaining an angry face as she saw a Rose Dripping with red paint. She stormed forward and Touched the Flower.

" Who's Been painting' My roses red...WHO'S BEEN PAINTING MY ROSES RED!" She yelled pulling the Bush out of the ground Before continuing " Who dares to taint with Vulgar paint My Royal flower bed! FOR PAINTING MY ROSES REEEEEEED! SOMEONE WILL LOSE HIS HEAD!" She yelled.

" OH NO DONT BLAME ME YOUR GRACE ITS ALL HIS FAUT!" The three said pointing at the two

"OH NO NOT ME YOUR GRACE ITS THE ACE!" The two yelled. Ace was scared his name was Ace and soldier 1 was also called an Ace so who is who.

"NO TWO!" The First soldier said

" The Deuce you say?" The Queen said back.

" NO! NOT ME THE TREY!" Two yells. These three may have the name of Ace, Trey and his boy-I mean Bestfriend Deuce bit Ace will not refer to them as such.

"ENOUGH! OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!" The Queen Yelled. Shesh She's worse than Riddle was at the beginning of the year. The other card soldiers cheerd before singing.

" Their going to lose their heads for painting the roses red!

It serves then right they planted white and roses should be red!

Oh their going to lose their heads~

For painting the roses red!" 

Ace looked up at the Queen and saw the magic stone on her crown. It was tainted with black splotches. Oh God Ace was going to have to walk on egg shells or else she was going to become Riddle from the beginning of the year.

" SILENCE!" She yelled

Ace started to speak " Please calm down my Queen they were onl-" Ace started.

" AND WHO ARE YOU!" She yelled. Before looking at Ace.

" Why, it's a little boy!" She crooned.

" Yes and I was hop-" Ace was cut off as he stood Up and Grabbed Jammie and Karter's Plush form.

" Look up! Speak Nicely! AND DON'T TWIDDLE YOUR FINGERS! Turn out your toes and Curtsy!Open your mouth a Little wider and always say 'YES your majesty' " She yelled Ace did as she said so as to not make her more angry.

" YES your Majesty!" Ace yelled as did the boys. 

"Haha Yes! Now where do you come from and where are you going." She said Ace could tell she was faking this "Nice" persona.

" We'll I'm trying to Find my way-" Ace started.

" YOUR WAY!? THERE IS NO YOUR WAY THERE IS ONLY MY WAY!" She yelled.

" Y-yes I know but I was just thinking-" Ace started.

" Curtsy while you're thinking!It saves time." The Queen said with a sickeningly sweet voice. Ace did so.

" Yes your majesty! BUT I just wanted to ask-" Ace started

" I'll ask the questions!" The Queen yelled before lowering her voice and asking Ace a question. " Do you play Croquet?" 

" Yes, Your majesty!" Ace replied. 

"Then let the games Begin!" She yelled. The soldiers then Moved to act the Hoops the ball had to go through.

 The Queen chose a Green flamingo that she very violently made submit to her. Ace also saw the poor hedgehog look at her scared. Ace walked over to the Bag full of Flamingos used for Croquet and pulled out a very happy Pink one that he quickly asked to be nice in Flamingo. He also got his hedgehog and remembering Rook's lessons he told the Creature not to be afraid and pet it. He then Placed Karter and Jammie down and stood behind the Queen to watch her putt.The Queen swung the flaming completely missing the hedgehog as she closed her eyes. The hedgehog saw this and started moving as the soldiers moved to make sure the hedgehog got to the end. She putt again and this time it didn't make it through the final hoop as the soldiers was too slow.  The soldier was Sentenced to death. Ace took this time to observe the 4 new people. There were two males and two females….though one female looked familiar…..Wait was that Sebek's Mother!? Sebek said she went missing 16 years ago!? Ace shook his head.

" Your next my dear!" The Queen said.Turning her flamingo into a seat.

" Yes, your majesty." Ace said walking up. He placed down his hedgehog and gently straightened out his Flamingo. He pulled back his arms and Hit the hedgehog with enough power to hopefully make it to the end but light enough where it wouldn't hurt the poor thing. The Flamingo and Hedgehog listened and off they went the soldiers tried to Saratoga but it seemed the Animals were loyal enough to Ace mentoring in ways to allow him to win. In the end after aces second put he won and looked at the people of wonderland and the card soldiers. They all looked scared but not for themselves. They were scared for Ace.

" H-HOW DID YOU WIN! THINGS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE MY WAY! I DON'T KNOW WHO YOU ARE YOU IMPOSTER BUT YOU WILL NEVER REPLACE MY DEAR DAUGHTER ALLISON! I SAY SO AND IT MUST BE TRUE BECAUSE I. AM. THE. RULES!" She yelled as her magistone turned completely black and Ink surrounded her and the sky turned dark. The soldiers got scared and ran. The 4 unknown people and the acquaintances he made rushed over in confusion as Cheshire appeared.

" What is this!? What's happened to the Queen!?" Chesire yelled The others Agreeing.

" Simple" Ace started voice shaking " She Overbloted…"
