• Alice woke up, refreshed and ready to grasp the day ahead of her as the sunlight bursted through the windows. She felt an arm wrapped around her waist and something laying on top of her hair. She closed her eyes and wished he would roll over. After minutes of wishing, her legs began to fall asleep from laying in bed too long. She pushed him backwards and pulled herself up from the bed.

    "Jorick!" she shouted, shaking him awake.

    He opened his eyes and smiled up at her. "Good morning, Alice," he said happily.

    "Good morning indeed! You rolled over on top of me! You broke your promise!" she yelled at him as she hit him with a pillow.

    "I'm sorry. It was an accident," he pleaded as she hit him. He sat up and tackled her, trying to calm her down.

    "Get off of me!" Alice shouted, hitting him. It did not seem to affect him much.

    "Calm down, Alice," he said quietly, pinning her down on the bed.

    Suddenly, someone knocked and entered the room. It had happened so fast, neither of them could react fast enough. They were dumbstruck, frozen as Honey Queen walked in and gaped at the sight.

    "Am I interrupting anything?" she asked, starting backwards for the door.

    "No! No! We weren't doing anything!" Alice shouted as she pushed Pin Joker off while he was distracted by the sudden trespasser.

    "It sure looked like it..." Honey Queen said watching Alice wrap her robe around her. Pin Joker sat in bed, embarrassed and hot.

    "Did you need something?" Alice asked her when she was fully covered unlike Honey Queen who liked to show off her legs.

    "Some people in town were asking to see you, Alice," Honey Queen told her, "Would you like to go and see them yourself or would you like Boo Jack and I to tend to them?"

    She sounded menacing. Alice narrowed her eyes at her before looking at Pin Joker. "I'm going to go down and see them," she said to him specifically. He nodded solemnly. She felt a little bad about leaving him here alone with the other Trump Siblings. Alice rolled her eyes. "Are you coming with me?"

    "Okay!" he exclaimed enthusiastically, leaping from the bed.

    Honey Queen giggled, covering her mouth with her hand as she headed out the door so the lovers could get changed.

    Alice and Pin Joker made their way through the winding streets of Clock Town. The houses twisted into spirals like the Cone Mushroom that Alice often ate. She had become addicted to the fungus ever since Eugene introduced her to it. Pin Joker observed everything with a disgusted face while Alice couldn't have been happier to be in the town again. She missed the yellow brick roads, spiral houses that looked like they were going to fall on the sides and most of all, the townspeople.

    "This place is not appropriate for a princess," Pin Joker said through clenched teeth as he crossed his arms angrily.

    Alice glared at him while they walked. There was nothing wrong in this town. The people kept it clean and beautiful. "It is appropriate for this princess," she gave him a smirk, "Unlike how you treated me this morning."

    "You were quick to accuse me of breaking my promise and you were freaking out!" he defended himself, with the truth.

    She rolled her eyes and sighed, not wanting to argue. She was in too much of a good mood already. She stopped when she saw the familiar shop with music boxes in the window shelves. Alice rushed in to the door, the bell ringing as she entered.

    "Alice! What are you doing?" Pin Joker went after her.

    "Alice! You're here!" a voice exclaimed with a relieved tone.

    She gazed up at a young woman with icy blue, swirly hair, deep green eyes and a single mole by her lips. "Roberta!" she shouted, rushing towards her, the only mother she had ever known except the sea.

    Pin Joker watched, dumbfounded as his Alice embraced the woman. A man entered the room. He had brown swirly hair and squiggly eyebrows. Pin Joker had never seen such long eyebrows.

    "Alice, why did you bring one of the Trump Siblings here?" the man asked, stern.

    "It's a long story, Eugene. This man is an old friend of mine," Alice turned to Pin Joker with a smile, telling him it was alright.

    "Alice, dearest. We think we found out where you are from," Roberta told her.

    "Yes?" Alice asked excitedly.

    "I could've told you where you were from!" Pin Joker butted in, "You are from the sacred island of Oceanthys."

    "Yes, her family roots are," Roberta nodded in agreement, "But my husband and I have found that Alice is from Water 7."

    Both Alice and Pin Joker stared, bewildered.

    "I knew that!" Pin Joker turned around and cross his arms in front of his chest.

    "Water 7!" Alice came up to Roberta, "Please tell me about Water 7!"

    Eugene pulled a book from a bookcase and leafed through it, licking his fingers before he turned the pages. "Ah, here we are. Alice, this is a book about known islands of the world. Here is Water 7," he handed her the open book and she dove into it, her eyes darting back and forth, gathering every bit of information.

    "We found out when we began going through old papers. We found a document containing names of the deceased and we found a girl by the name of Alice who had died in an accident in Water 7. We studied the incident and found out what the girl looked like by illegally accessing government papers," Eugene explained.

    "We thought that the girl was you, Alice," Roberta added, "That's why we were so desperate."

    Eugene continued, "The girl was certainly you. We don't know how. But now we know who you are and where you're from."

    Pin Joker stood around, listening absent-mindedly. He couldn't remember the island his family had to go to in order to visit the Nereida but he wondered if it was really Water 7? He remembered having to be on the water a lot, and getting sea-sick. It sounded about right that the Nereida would live in a place like Water 7.

    "Oh, Jorik! We must go to Water 7! Just for a vacation?" she rushed to him, holding the book open to her chest, "Please?" she begged.

    "I'll talk about it with Bear King," he grunted, not wanting to leave the island.

    "Oh! Thank you!" Alice hugged him quickly and spun around, back to Eugene, handing him the book. "Thank you for finding this out for me. I have always appreciated what you have done for me."

    "We love you, Alice. You are like our own child..." Roberta turned away. Eugene and Alice both knew why. Alice stepped forward and hugged her.

    "I love you too, Roberta," she said to her, surprising the crying woman. "And you too, Eugene," she came up and hugged him too.

    He patted her back assuringly, "Now we won't hold you any longer. Go back to the castle and do what you have to do."

    "I'll see you two later!" Alice exclaimed as she left with Pin Joker.
