Btw bold means a flashback. Just thought that was worth mentioning for the peeps that don't know everything about Twisted Wonderland like I do.

After Grim and I made it back to ramshackle dorm, we just went straight to bed. 

"Hurry and paint the roses red. If we don't hurry, the flowers will wilt!" 

"Hurry, hurry! There are still some that aren't painted!" 

Painting... the roses? 

"Why are you painting the white roses red?"

"Huh?"

"Why, you ask? Well, to tell you the truth, we made a mistake and accidentally planted white roses." 

"The Queen loves red, so if she sees white, then it's off with our heads!"

"Is that so?"

"Yes, it is. That's exactly why we're painting them red." 

*Knock knock*

I awoke from my dream to a knocking sound at the front door. "Hey, Y/N... Someone's at the door... What? Is it the Ghosts? They sure don't know when to give up, yanno..." Grim tiredly said. I got up from the bed, and walked into the main foyer. As I walking, I heard a voice. "It's me, Ace... Can you let me in for a bit?" I opened the door, to find Ace with the 'Off With Your Head' collar on. "Ace? Why is he here at this hour...? Geh! What's with the collar?!?!" Grim asked, shocked about the collar. "Geez! I'm never returning to Heartslabyul. I'm gonna be a member of this dorm from here on!" Ace angrily stated. "WHAT~~~!?!?" Grim yelled. "That collar's the same kind as the one that red-haired upperclassman put on me during the opening ceremony. Why're you wearin' that?" Grim inquired. "I ate a tart." Ace grumbled. "That's it?" I asked. "Exactly! Only that! I got hungry, so I went to the dorm's kitchen. The tart was just sittin' right there inside the fridge. And like, three whole ones! That's why..."

"(sighs) It's only the first day and I'm so tired~ I missed dinner, so I'm very hungry. Wonder if there's anythin' in the fridge... Oh, found a tart! Looks delish~! There's a lot, so I'm not sure if I can finish it all ♪ Thanks for the food~ Whoa, what the heck?! It's so good!" Ace exclaimed. "Of course, it would be delicious. After all, anything that Trey makes is bound to be exquisite." A voice said. "Nah, man, this is something else! It's better than the ones at the shops... Wha– dorm leader?!" Ace said, turning around to see Riddle Rosehearts ready to punish him. "Quite the boldness you have there for touching something that belongs to me. Queen of Hearts Rule #89: " You shall not eat tarts prepared for the Queen ahead of her." Larceny of the Queen's tarts is a capital crime! OFF WITH YOUR HEAD!" Riddle shouted, hitting Ace with his unique magic. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"

"And that's what happened..." Ace sighed. "......." "........." "You've only got yourself to blame." Grim said, breaking the silence. "But ain't it overreacting to seal my magic just 'cause I ate his tart?! It's practically the same as tying my hands and my feet! Plus, there were three whole ones! He can't possibly finish all of those! There's a limit to how heartless he can be!" Ace yelled. "Yeah... well, uh...." I had no idea what to say to that. "Right?!" Ace shouted. "Ah! Wait a second... If there were three whole tarts, they might've been prepared for the party, yanno? Like for someone's birthday? Man, I'm such a great detective, huh!" Grim said. "Birthday?" Ace asked. "If that's the case, then no wonder he's mad." I said. "Uh... I came here thinking that you'd agree with me about the dorm leader being a little tyrant..." Ace grumbled. "I get that he's a tyrant but..." I responded. "You're also at fault for eatin' his food." Grim said. "Let's go apologize to him tomorrow okay?" I asked. "(sighs) I get it. I just have to apologize, right? You suggested it, so you better come with me, Y/N..." Ace sighed. "Got it." I said. "In the meantime, where can I sleep?" Ace asked. "You're serious about stayin' the night? The other rooms aside from ours are still full of dust. If you're gonna sleep here, you better clean it yourself." Grim grumbled. "Ugh, I don't wanna clean at all. Y/N~ Let me stay in your room~ " Ace said, getting up close. "E-eh?! What are you doing?!" I said, pushing him away. "I'm a pretty handy guy so I won't take up much room! Please~?" Ace continued. "N-no." I said. "*sigh* Fine then. I'll sleep all by my lonesome on the lounge's sofa. Good night!" Grim just stared at us, dumbfounded. I quickly picked Grim up, and walked back to our room. Ace just stared at us as we were leaving. 

....

The next morning I woke up early, got ready, and left the room quietly while grim was still sleeping. As I was walking down the hall, I heard Ace angrily call out "What the, who the hell's pounding on the door so early in the morning? Ugh...! This dorm's seriously raining dust! Got it, got it! I'll open the door, so don't break it!" He got up to open the door. "I knew I'd find you here." It was Deuce at the door. I walked up to the door behind Ace. "Oh hey Deuce." I said. "Gah!" Ace shouted and turned around, startled by my presence. "D-Deuce..." Ace said. "I heard about the situation from our dormmates. You ate the dorm leader's tart, so now you've got that collar on, haven't you? You're an outright idiot." Deuce scolded. "Shut it! I don't wanna hear that from you! So... Is the Dorm leader still mad at me...?" Ace asked. "Not completely. He's in an irritated mood and about three people who didn't follow the waking up routine suffered the same fate as you." Deuce said. "'Not completely' my ass! He's totally mad!" Ace yelled. "I'll go wake Grim up so we can all walk to school." I told the two, and walked back to our room. I woke Grim up, although, him being a cat, didn't want to wake up, and scratched me. Gee, thanks for that Grim. So I got Grim up, and we walked back to Ace and Deuce. As we met up with them, we all walked to main street. "Hey! Make way, make way! I, a full-fledged Night Raven College student is passing through! Look at my collar! My collar is totally awesome compared to yours! And you can't use your magic now, can you? Guess I can have you cleaning the schools as part of your chores or something? Nyaha, this feels so good!" Grim mocked. "You better remember this when I get my magic back!" Ace grumbled. "The Headmaster just scolded you for a ruckus you caused yesterday, remember? In any case, you won't be able to attend classes since your magic has been sealed. How about you go and apologize to dorm leader Rosehearts so he can take that off?" Deuce asked. "Damn it...! I still ain't convinced...!!" Ace angrily said. "We still have time before the next class. Plus, I'm interested in the other dorms. Let's go observe while we watch Ace apologize." Grim said. "I'm not some kinda exhibit, damn it!" Ace yelled.

Ok, Ik what you're all thinking. "What took so long, you publish like 3 chapters per day and now it's taken you 4 days to publish one." But I'm sorry, school has been kicking my ass, and I've kinda lost some motivation to write for this. But I'm gonna keep going, cuz this is where the story gets interesting. So I'm gonna try :D
