Y/N POV

We all went to the Hall of Mirrors, the sooner we stepped inside the Heartslabyul dorm. The Ramshackle residents see Ace and Deuce dorm looks like, our eyes went wide open.

"Woah! This is gorgeous. It couldn't be any more different from ours." Grim said excitedly.

"Ours is still in development," Celestia told Grim as Felix nod in agree.

"This place is amazing! Oh, that's right." I went to the bag and grabbed the ghost camera that headmaster Crowley gave me from yesterday. As I put out the camera, and point it at the boys. "They guys." Deuce and Ace turned around, "Smile." Click the camera.

"Ah! Why are you suddenly taking pictures of us?" Ace asked.

"For memory... I want to take pictures of new things, that I discover it every day." I answered him, when Deuce went beside me, he took a look at the picture.

"Ace looks dumb in the picture," Deuce commented, as Ace went to us.

"No! I am not..." Ace said.

"Crap, crap. I've gotta get these roses painted." The unfamiliar voice comes out from behind the tree.

"Oh, somebody is here," Grim said.

"What is he doing?" Felix questioned, as Celestia walked around the ground, not paying attention to where she was going.

Before she could hit the paints, a man with a diamond on his face carried her. "Oh, watch out. Any paint splatters and my head is gone." He put Celestia down where there's no paint.

"I feel like I've seen this before..." I said to myself.

"...Hm? Do you all need something?" He asked us.

"What are you doing with that?" Ace asked back, as his pointed his finger at the paints.

"This? As you can see I'm painting the roses red." He replied.

'Paint the roses red... seriously, where did I seen this before?' I thought to myself, while looking at the paints.

"Eh? Why would you?" Deuce asked him, as Deuce and Ace were confused.

"Hmm, your fresh reaction is so cute! Now that I take a good look at you, you're the freshmen that busted the 10,000,00 madol chandelier yesterday."

'Please don't remind me about that.' I sighed out.

"We're gonna hear about the chandelier until the day we graduate..." Ace muttered.

"And you're the one who added on more punishment by stealing the dorm leader's tart last night. I feel so lucky getting to meet the notorious newcomer's first thing in the morning." He said, 'Good for you.' I thought to myself. "Hey, hey, hey let's take a selfie!" The orange-haired man grabbed us close and took a picture. "Yay!"

"Can I put this on Magicam? Tell me your names so I can put you in the tags."

"I'm Deuce Spade."

"Ace"

"Grim and my--" Before Grim could continue, Felix covered his mouth.

"Y/n Kambe," I answered. He quickly stop typing at the point he heard my last name.

"So you are the cute girl in the entrance ceremony. Above of that all, you are in the most crazy richest family, so cool." He compliments me. I just laughed sarcastically. He started typing on his phone again.

"Alright, upload finished! Ah, I'm your senior, third-year Cater Diamond. Call me Cater. Cay is fine, too. Nice to meetcha~"

"It's a pleasure to meet you too, Cater-senpai." I bow down, lifting my dress.

"Now that I look at your uniform, you're the supervisor from the Ramshackle Dorm I heard about. Good on you, living in a place like that. It's super dark and you can't get a good Magicam in there. You have my sympathy." He pats my head.

"Thanks for the compliment. I think..." I mumbled the last part.

"This guy is really running his mouth." Grim groaned.

"I agree." Celestia said, while Felix groaned at Cater for touching his master's head.

Cater suddenly started panicking, as he checked the time. "Ah, I don't have any time for small talk! The party is in two days. I don't wanna lose my head for being late. Hey, you guys, will you help with painting the roses?" Cater gave us a puppy eye.

Felix jumped on my shoulder and whispered, "What is he doing with his eyes? It's weird."

"But why are you doing something so weird?" Ace asked.

"Red roses at a party are the most photogenic! I guess? I've also got to change the flamingos' color for the croquet match...So I'm busy with all this work."

'All by himself, without any help.' I questioned myself.

"You're changing the flamingos' colors!? Your chores are so weird." Grim commented.

"So, the tart that Ace ate was going to be used for the dorm leader's birthday party," Deuce said Cater. "That's why he was so mad..."

"Hope? That's not it." Cater replied.

"It's not then what?" Celestia asked herself.

"It's not!? Then, who's birthday is it?" Ace a bit back.

"Hmmm..."

"It's not anyone's birthday. The day after tomorrow is our dorm's traditional "Unbirthday Party''. The dorm leader chooses a random day that isn't anyone's birthday and we have a tea party." Cater explained.

"Is that why you are painting the roses red?" I muttered.

"The heck is that!?" Ace asked once again.

"Later, worry about the reason later." Cater giggled. "All you have to do now is make the roses red! Deuce, Grim, and Y/n, you three can do it with magic. Ace, since you can't use magic here's some paint."

"We can change the color with magic..." Deuce asked, a bit nervous. 'He never tried painting using magic?'

"Deuce have you never tried to using magic in painting before," I asked Deuce, he gave a nod.

"I've never done anything like that." Grim groaned.

"You too."

"Okay, if it's fine, just relax! We'll figure it out! We better hurry if we don't wanna lose our heads to the dorm leader~" Cater said.

•◈──────◈✧✦✧◈──────◈•

"Red, red... There! Gah! It turned blue..." Deuce is trying to paint the rose red.

"Change color... Take that! Gyaaa! The roses are on fire." Grim yelled. Celestia blow snow from her mouth, to take out the fire.

I took a deep breath in, and closed my eyes. "Change... to..." I said as I held my pen in front of the bush, "Red." When the magic hit the bush, all the unpainted roses turned red. Even Deuce blue roses turned to red and Grim's fire roses.

"WHAT THE--" Ace, Grim, and Deuce shouted.

"Crap! I overdid it again." I sighed, "Why is this keep on happening to me?"

"You guys are really more terrible at this than I could've imagined. I'm not talking about you, Y/n. You did an amazing job." Cater commented.

"Aren't the roses fine being white? They're pretty." Ace questioned.

"This is our tradition. Roses are red for the Unbirthday Party. And we use flamingos in seven different colors for croquet with hedgehogs as the balls. But, y'know, the spring garden concert of the flower uses white roses. That's an important point, too." Cater explained.

"Those are all strange rules!" Grim said.

"If I remember correctly. Those rules were all decided by the Queen of Heart from the Great Seven, right." I said.

"Correct! Riddle is particularly passionate about following the rules even compared to other strict dorm leaders. I won't deny he goes too far sometimes, though..." Cater explained.

"That's right. I don't have time for this. I want to speak to the dorm leader, is he inside?" Ace soon brings up the real reason why we are here?

"Hm? I think there's still time before he leaves... By the way, Ace the tart thief, did you bring a tart of apology?" Cater asked.

Soon as Cater mentions about 'If Ace brings a tart of apology. Something comes to my head.

"Ah? No, I came first so I'm empty-handed..." Ace replied.

"Ooh noo. Is that so?"

"A-ace!" I called his name out.

Ace turned to me, "What?"

I lowered down my head, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry." Ace jumped back and shocked.

"Ah! Why are you apologizing?"

"I just remember that the 'Law of the Queen of Heart, number 53: One must always return what they stole'... I'm truly sorry. It just slipped out of my head."

"Ara! Y/n, you know. Law of the Queen of heart..." I nod. "And that's why I can't let you in the dorm." Cater said.

"Huh? The hell is that." Ace was shocked.

"I'll lose my head too if I knowingly let you in while you're not obeying the rules. Hehe, I feel bad but you need to leave before Riddle notices." Cater turned serious.

"Woah, his face got serious! Guy, help me out." Ace turned to us.

"Why would I?" Deuce asked.

"Please! I can't use magic right now... Ah! Here he comes." We turned to Cater walking towards us.

"Alright!" I agreed to help him, since it was my fault for forgetting. "Please forgive me for this, Cater-senpai."
