I guess it's a continuation of the story (~‾▿‾)~

It's been a few days since their encounter with Gaster. Ever since then, Gaster has been behind their back almost every day. He will show them around and would tease Alice. However, Alice was on her guard ever since that accident the first night. She doesn't fully trust him. Does she also have a lot of questions about him like where did he come from? How long he has been living in this city? How did he know her grandfather? So many questions yet no answer. Gaster will dodge the questions and change the subject.

Alice and Kitty were walking around the city. They try to avoid the market place after the accident. However, Alice makes some charm to hide some of her obvious trait-like her hair and eyes. She has now black hair and brown eyes. No one should know it's her...

"Morning princess!" Gaster said right behind them. Alice and Kitty startle of his sudden appearance.

"Where do you come from?!" Kitty said surprise. Alice just frowns. How did he know it was her? No one should see through the charms... Unless...

"I know some shortcuts~," Gaster said.

"Are you a mage ?" Alice said bluntly. Gaster looks at her before he titled his head. She could feel he was smirking.

"Your little charms may fool those non-mages but a real one would see it through you~," Gaster said. Alice was surprised by this informations. She didn't meet a lot of other mages besides the emperor and his grandfather. She did suspect some but they are not strong enough to be call a mage. She narrows her eyes to Gaster before she turns around and starts walking.

"Wait for me!" Kitty said following her.

Gaster was just standing looking at them leaving in the crowd. He smiles widely. He saw Alice as a guarded kitten that needs to be tamed but he likes how feisty she is. He chuckles and follows them from afar. Just in case they end up in trouble again~

Alice was fuming with her interaction with Gaster. She doesn't like it when he knows something about her without her telling him. She also hates it when he just appears and seems to play with her.

"Alice! Wait for me! Geez! What makes you so mad?" Kitty said panting and look at her mistress.

"I hate it how arrogant he sounds like!" Alice said crossing her arms and frown.

"Who? Oh! You mean mister Gaster! He seems nice though..." Kitty said looking at the direction where they leave Gaster alone.

"Nice? He is not! He just saw us as something interesting and then he will just leave us alone once he is satisfied!" Alice said pouting.

"He seems to bother you a lot... Are you interest of him?!" Kitty said smiling.

"What?! No! I just want him to leave me alone!" Alice said with a tinted blush and look away.

"Suuuure..." Kitty said as she looks at the shops around them.

They both walk and see a lot of different items. Alice brought stuff for her next trip. Kitty, however, seems to not be so eager to leave the city. Alice saw some hesitation from her when she speaks about leaving.

"Kitty, what's wrong?" Alice said.

"Oh! It's nothing really..." Kitty said looking away.

"It doesn't seem anything... What's in your mind?"

"... I don't want to leave the city... I feel like we could just live there for now on and stop this trip to the God Realm..." Kitty said. Alice was silent before she sighs.

"Then stay. I will leave and you don't have to follow me anymore," Alice said.

"But my lady! I cannot leave you! You are my master!" Kitty said.

"Kitty... I am not your master. I am your friend. I never see you as a servant. I want you to be happy. If you wish to stay then I will not force you to follow me. You are your own person," Alice said as she smiles at her. Kitty starts crying. Alice hugs her and let her cry on her shoulder.

"I... Feel like... I am betraying you!" Kitty said in her arms.

"Silly girl! You are not! I want you to make your own path. I will be fine. Go find your love and built something for you," Alice said rubbing her back.

Kitty and Alice hug for while before Kitty starts to calm down.

"Sorry... I am such a crybaby," Kitty said as she wipes her tears.

"Heh. It's alright. You were there for me on my hard time," Alice said with a smile. Both of them continue shopping and then wandering around the neighbour's house.

"Wow, so much house over there and some are so big too!" Kitty said looking around.

"Yes, I guess most have a big family or have shops within the house," Alice said looking around.

"Should we buy one?" Kitty said.

"Kitty... You know I am leaving tomorrow..." Alice said frowning.

"I know I know! But I mean... It's would be nice I can have a place to stay... And you always have a home where I live you know?" Kitty said with a sincere smile.

"You are not my mom, Kitty," Alice said rolling her eyes. Kitty bump playfully her shoulder to hers.

"I am not that old geez! At least a sister~," Kitty said giggles. Both the girls were giggling as they stop in front of a house.

"Wow! This one looks great don't you think?" Kitty said pointing the house.

The house has huge gates. It was open and could see from there the path toward the house. They went in and saw a pond and a pavilion on the way of the house

"So pretty! I could totally see lotus flowers around the place! Oh! And some nice lanterns!" Kitty said getting excited. Alice smile and listen to Kitty's plan of decorating the place.

"Calm down Kitty! We haven't brought it yet... It's must be expensive tho..." Alice said as she glances at the place. Everything seems bigger but you can see it needs some reparations.

"Maybe so... But if we do the reparation on our own then we will have a discount?" Kitty said looking at what they must work on.

"Still we need to gather the tools and the materials to repair this place," Alice said sighing. It's not like she cannot do it but to make it a functional place would take time... Times she doesn't have many luxuries for.

"I can help you with that if you want~," Gaster said right behind them. Both the girls get startled for his apparition.

"Geez! You are going to give me a heart attack one of those days!" Alice said. Gaster chuckles. He leans a bit forward.

"It's would be a bit a shame if you die that way, my dear~," he said. Alice blush at how close they are. She moves away and crosses her arms.

"Now what do you want?" She said

"Seem like you two like this house~ I just thought I can help you with that~," he said.

"You will?! That would be great! We just need to contact the owner and get a deal with him-" Kitty starts to say but Alice didn't listen to her anymore. She was curious about what kind of help he would do.

"And how would you help us with all that matter? We barely have the money to buy it," Alice said. Gaster was silent for a moment before he smirks.

"I know the owner~ He wanted to sell the place for a while now and I can talk to him to lower a bit the price~," Gaster said.

"If you lie, I don't want to see you ever again," Alice said looking at him with a stern look. Gaster doesn't seem unfazed of the trait. No, he found it adorable. He really wants to take her to his domain and make her his... But he must control himself... For now~

"I promise you that the house would be yours and the rebuild it would take a few weeks~," he said as he bows in from of her.

He keeps the promise. He manages to convince the owner to sell to the girls and get all the material to repair the house. It's surprising Alice of how hard-working he was when he repair the roof. I guess... He is not that bad... She thought. She didn't say out loud but she still thinks of it. Alice starts to lower her guard around Gaster. He saw some change around the past few weeks with Alice. He was pleased that she starts to be more open up.

The house was finish rebuild. Kitty was so happy and wanted to make a house party. Alice chuckles of her enthusiasm but lets her do it. She still has to go. She needs to find the place her grandfather talks about in his journal.

Kitty invites a lot of people in the renovated house. She insisted to dress up Alice for the event. The ex-princess give in and let Kitty dress her up.

"You will look so beautiful!" Kitty said as she claps her hands together.

"Where did you get to effort this dress? I never saw it before," Alice said looking at the dress.

She wore purple ballerina shoes and her hair was put up with hairpins but some were laid down. Her make-up was light that brings her natural beauty.

"Hehe. Actually it's a gift from our notorious friend~" Kitty said.

"He sends that for me?" Alice said looking again her dress.

"Of course! Don't you see he is been wooing you since day 1?? You cannot be that dense!" Kitty said. Alice blushes a bit and looks away from Kitty. It's true that sometimes he would be close to her and pay more attention to what she was doing. However, she barely responds to his advance. Alice shakes her head and looks back at Kitty.

"Even so... I am leaving tomorrow. I delay my trip so the house can be ready and you have a place to stay," Alice said with a smile. Kitty frown at what she said.

"You really have to go?"

"Yeah, I have to. I feel like I am so close to finding it too. I need to go," Alice said with a smile.

"Ok... But enjoy tonight and then leave tomorrow ok? Kitty said.

"Deal~,"

The girls both leave the bedroom and meet up with the others. A lot of them were stunned by their beauty. Even Gaster, that was in the crowd, couldn't take his eyes of Alice. He really has good taste~. The dress makes her look like a fairy and he wanted to keep her for himself.

He approaches them. "My, aren't you two came out beautiful~," he said.

"Aw thanks, mister Gaster," Kitty said. She glances at Alice and hits her with her elbow to respond to Gaster.

"Y-yes thank you," Alice said. There was an awkward silence until Kitty talk.

"Oh! I see some people I want to talk to! Be right back~" Kitty said. She storms off before Alice could follow her.

There was an awkward silence between them. Alice clear her throat.

"I will go see the others," she said as she turns around to leave but Gaster stops her.

"As much as this little party is nice and all... I wanted to show you something interesting~" he said. Alice blushes a little bit and looks at him.

"Where?" Alice said raising an eyebrow. She was a little bit on her guard.

"Don't worry~ It's worth the view~?" he said. She thought of the pros and cons of his invitation. But then again, she was curious they will go so she nods at him.

"Good~ I know a shortcut~," he said as he holds her hand. "Close your eyes~"

She did what he said and could feel the air change around them.

"You can open your eyes~" he whispers to her.

She opens her odds eyes and saw the whole city up the hill. She gasps of the view.

"So what do you think of the view~?" Gaster said

"It's beautiful!! How did you found this place?" Alice said smiling. The wind hit her hair which make her look like a fairy. Gaster couldn't help but to admire her.

"I found it eons ago but you are the first one I ever show to~" he said. Alice have a tint blush after hear that

"It's that how you use to seduce woman?" Alice said looking back at the view.

"No... I don't seduce woman..."

"I don't care what you do in your past time," Alice said as she frown. He glance at before he start to smirk

"You are actually jealous~?"

"What?! No!" She said with a blushing mess.

"Seem like you are~"

"I am not! You just caught me off guard," she said pouting.

"You are adorable~"

"I am not!"

They stay beside next to each other for a few minutes before Alice sigh and look at Gaster

"So what is the reason why you take me there? Not just for the view right?"

"Sharp as always~, but yes there is something else I wish to talk to," Gaster said on a serious Tone.

"What is it?"

"I will tell how I knew your grandfather,"

"Wait really? But you always avoid my questions for days!" Alice said surprise.

"Of course~ but on one condition~" Alice roll her eyes

"Of course it's wouldn't be that easy... What is the condition?"

"Marry me," Alice blank at what he said.

"What?"

"You hear me marry me,"

"No,"

"What a fast answer I am hurt,"

"You seriously think I will just said yes after give me a beautiful dress, repair the house and showing me scenerity like this??"

"... Yes?"

"Well you don't know me at all," Alice said crossing her arms. Gaster just chuckles

"But I am serious~ I want to marry you~," he said

"You are being ridiculous!" She turn around and start to walking away

"Your grandfather promise me to you~" he said. Alice stop her trail.

"What?" She turn to look at him.

"Your grandfather promise me you will be my bride~"

"I don't believe you! Grandpa would never allow it!"

"But he did~ as a repayement of saving his life~"

"He wouldn't..." Alice said still in shock

"It is true at that time he never tho to get married and have children so he thought the deal would never be fullfill until..."

"Grandpa fall in love get married and have a child... But it was a Boy

"Indeed and then the boy become a man and get married and have a..."

"... Girl... Me"

"Exactly! My bride is so clever~"

"I am not your bride!"

"You are like it or not,"

"I ran away from a marriage, I can ran away from this one too!"

"That cannot happen,"

"What Do you mean?"

"It's hard to get off of a marriage with a God~"

"Said what?!"

Gaster take off his gloves and mask. She couldn't believe it. He was a skeleton with holes on his hands!!! How it's possible?? Couldn't think of the sudden news information that she faint. Gaster got her on time.

"My my~ my bride is a bit in shock~" He said chuckles. He pull her closer and kiss her forehead

"Even pass out she is gorgeous~ Time to go home, my bride~"

He teleport them away toward "home"

(A/N) welp... I guess I will stop it there... Cliffhanger and let you guys imagine what would happen ╮(＾▽＾)╭
