After destroying the magiteks, I was walking with the group and my target. He was not what I was expecting. I thought he would be...taller and more scary. Oh well, beggars can't be choosers. We arrived at a camp set on the hill and we settled down after a long fight. My thoughts wandered back to what was said to me before my departure.

Remember (f/n), your new alias is Alice. Your an orphan and don't know much about your past. The only clue you have is your samurai sword. This should interest the young prince and make him take you to the crown city. Then you have 6-8 months to gain the prince's trust and carry out your mission. For the long run, act like an orphan and play with it. Remember not to tell anyone about who you are or what you are. Do you understand, number #1?

I do, my king

"I believe introductions are in order." Ignis said as he was preparing some food

"Yeah! My name is Prompto, beautiful!" Prompto took my hand and shake it with such excitement as if he hit the jackpot. Then the scarred man grabbed him by the collar and headlocked him.

"Sorry about him, missy. My name is Gladiolus, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"My name is Ignis, miss." Ignis glanced at me while still cooking

"My name is Noctis but you call me Noct." Noctis said as he held out his hand, I took it and shake it gently

"My name is Alice, it's a pleasure to meet all of you. Thank you for helping me early." I said as we all sat down in chairs

"No problem! We help any damsel in distress!" Prompto said as Noctis facepalmed himself at his friend's choice of words and Gladiolus just sighed while shaking his head. Ignis will...he bother to look at Prompto. Human interactions is...interesting. This will be challenge for me because I'm used to just killing my targets right away but Iedolas wanted me to gain the Prince's trust first. So, that's what I will do.

"What the hell makes you think I'm weak, blondie?" I blurted out as the group looked at me because of my response to Prompto. Noctis and Gladiolus were laughing. Ignis chuckled a bit while cooking.

"I didn't mean it that way! What I meant to say is that, uh, a beautiful woman like you should be in a,um, city!" Prompto quickly said to regain common ground with me; yeah, like that's going to happen.

"Stop your flattering, blondie. It's not cute or helping you to get on my good side. Next time you flirt with me, I'm cut all your hair off, blondie." I said as Noctis and Gladiolus laughed even harder. Prompto shielded his hair and shouted,

"Not my beautiful hair! Chicks love my hair!!"

"I don't see how they would love you, blondie. You're...a bit of a chatterbox to me."

Prompto had a stoned expression on his face as if he was hurt and went to his friends whining that I'm not a normal girl.

"I like you, missy!...You should cut his hair off; see what he looks like bald." Gladiolus said as he was regaining himself from laughing so much as Noctis.

"Gladio! Don't encourage, Ice Alice!" Prompto whined as I raised an eyebrow

"Ice Alice, blondie?" I replied

"Yeah, you're so cold! I feel from here! Since you gave me a nickname, I give you one too!"

"..."

"I don't think our guest likes the nickname, Prompto. Plus, 'Ice Alice'? What is wrong with you, honestly?" Ignis said as he just sighed, he was adding the final touches of the food and Prompto replied,

"Because she is cold, dude. Didn't you hear me earlier? However, no matter how cold you are, your beauty takes the pain away..."

"Seriously, blondie?" I said as my tone was bored and Noctis said

"Don't mind him, Alice. Prompto is just an idiot at times."

"Eh!!!! Noctis, dude!! What do you mean by that?!" Prompto whined as Noctis ignored him and asked me a question,

"So, why were you running from the magiteks earlier?"

"I was wondering about that myself. If you had strength to take out the magiteks, why didn't you get rid of them earlier, missy?" Gladiolus asked as his eyes were scanning for something in me

His question had all eyes on me as if they were determining something about me.

"I was training in mediation not far from here. It's true I could've gotten rid of them but..."

"But?" Gladiolus said

"There was someone with the magiteks that equaled my strength of my sword." I said as my eyes looked upon my new weapon that felt powerful yet...not. I hoped my little lie would convince them.

"Do you know who it was?" Ignis asked as he passed out the tray of food to everyone including me and my lie worked.

"No, that's what's puzzling me."

"I see. Well, you can't dwell on it if you don't know."

"Hm. Now, what are you guys doing out here? You guys can't be hikers." I asked

"Nope! We were hunting a creature called the purple fang! It's worth a lot of gil!" Prompto spoke up as Ignis handed me the plate, he sat down and added,

"We're actually here for training as well."

"Oh! You're in the right place to train. Different monsters come around Duscae." I responsed as I took a bite out of the food that was given to me and it taste good. I've never really ate much so, this was something...good for once.

"This taste good. What is it?"

"It's rice with greens, miss Alice. I'm pleased you are happy with my cooking." Ignis said as he gave me a small smile and Noctis stared at his food.

"This has greens in the rice..."

"Noctis, you need to eat greens."

"I'm not eating the greens, Ignis. Wait, you cooked this on purpose, didn't you?"

"Why would I do that?"

"Noctis." I said as Ignis and Noctis stopped their little spat. Noctis looked at me and I said,

"Eat your greens or I'll force feed you. Mouth to mouth; would you prefer that, goth?"

Everyone stopped to look at me for what I said. Prompto and Gladiolus were choking on their food to not laugh so hard. Ignis just stared at me with his glasses tilted down. Noctis's face turned red like a tomato and his brow twitched in annoyance.

"You wouldn't dare..." Noctis said as I got up while placing my food on the chair, I went to him and grabbed his fork from his hand. I scooped up a bit of greens as I tried to get it to his mouth but his free hand grabbed my hand to stop me. That was plan. Quickly, I leaned over a bit closer to him as my mouth took a bit of the greens from the fork and my lips meet his. Everyone was dead silent of what they were seeing. Noctis's face grew redder of my actions as I continued to dominate his mouth, I forced the greens into his mouth and he swallow it. My lips parted with his and he let go of my arm. Everyone's eyes were too shocked of what I did as I went back to my chair and began to eat my food.

"What? You want another mouth to mouth, goth?" I asked

"Whoa!! I never seen a girl that kind of kiss! I'm super jealous, Noct!!!" Prompto whined as he waved his hands up and down as if he were a child and laughing at the same time.

"Hahahahahaha!!! That was some kiss, missy!! Wow, you have guts!" Gladiolus laughed hard

"...Miss Alice...was that...necessary?" Ignis was trying to collect himself of the scene he witness and I answered,

"Yeah, he wouldn't eat his greens, Ignis. So, I made eat it. Food should not be wasted."

"I agree...but...what you did...is...unheard of..."

"Oh? Is it?"

"Hey man, you ok in there?" Prompto asked still laughing as he lightly shakes Noctis who was frozen and still looking at me "You having dirty thoughts about Alice and her awesome kiss?"

"No!No! I'm not!! Alice, why did you do that?! What's with the goth name, anyway?!" Noctis shouted as he pointed me as if I'm the guilty one

"You wouldn't eat your greens, so I made you, goth. For the name because you dress like a goth. My type of guy a little to be honest. Black is a good color." I answered as he didn't reply back, he looked away as if embarrassed and his friends teased him about the kiss. All night, we talked until it was time to turn in.

Noctis pov (sleeping or trying to)

Damn it!!!! Why did she do that??!! That's humiliating!!

....But...strangely, I didn't hate the kiss...Come to think of it, that...was my first kiss...

I looked at Alice's sleeping form as her eyes were closed and her hands were gripping the sword she carries. That sword must mean a lot to her. I stretched my hand out to move a piece of her hair away from her peaceful face and felt her hair is like silk. Then my hand lightly touched her cheek and pulled away. Even her skin felt soft to me. She is different I would admit that. I've never been kissed that way before. My eyes started to close as my mind drifted away of thinking about our new friend, Alice and her kiss that made me feel...good.
