"You guys! Go take a bath!" (Name) ordered the 2 Heartslabyul students.
"But, (Name)-chan! I'm too tired!" Ace complained.
"That's disgusting, Ace! I will let you sleep in the couch again!" (Name) threatened.
"Y-Yes, Ma'am!" Deuce saluted as he ran inside the bathroom with his pajama clothes.
~ 𝐁𝐞𝐝𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 ~
"The cats are taking the other bed?!" Ace and Deuce yelled at the same time.
"Yes. The exceeds and Grim can't fit with me ." (Name) replied. "Here's the futon." She pulled out two white futons.
"Here's the pillows!" Happy gave the pillows to the two.
[𝐃𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐒𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞]
"Huh?" (Name) looked around. She turned around and saw he was already outside the maze, but another character seems to be appeared in her dream.
"How dare you defile my roses! You better prepare yourselves!" A similar woman in the Great Seven Statues yelled at the 3 cards back at her last dream.
"Oh, please spare me, my Queen! The one to blame is him–!" The 3 of Clovers/Clubs pointed on 2 Clovers/Clubs.
"It is not my fault, it's Ace's fault!" The 2 of Clovers/Clubs pointed the Ace.
The 'Queen of Hearts' turned to Ace of Clovers/Clubs, "Was it you?" She asked.
"No, my Queen! It was 2!" Ace pointed on 2 of Clovers/Clubs.
"So, it is 2's doing?" She asked once again.
'My head is spinning from the pointing. . .' (Name) thought while touching her head.
"It is not me, I swear! It's 3!" The 2 of Clovers/Clubs pointed on 3.
"Enough! Off with your heads, the three of you!" The Queen of Hearts declared.
Then multiple of card soldiers started to pull the 3 cards away from the Queen's sight. They were begging for mercy, but they knew she was merciless. . .
The Queen of Hearts giggled, "Another head to get chop off. . ."
"We have no other choice because you got the colors of the roses wrong." The 2 of Diamonds, who pulled Ace and 2 of Clovers/Clubs, said.
"Mistaking white for red was a foolish mistake." The 3 of Spades told the 3 of Clovers/Clubs.
'Why is no one stopping the Queen?' (Name) asked herself, but before she could speak, she already black out.
[𝐄𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐃𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐒𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞]
"(Name)! (Name)!" Someone woke her up.
She opened her eyes and got greeted by familiar teal eyes. "Is it morning?" She asked, rubbing her eyes.
"Yeah. Today is the Unbirthday Party, remember? It's off with our heads if we're late." Deuce replied, giving her uniform.
(Name) nodded, "Are the exceeds ready?"
"Aye!" Happy appeared behind Deuce. He was above Ace's head.
"(Name), you're the only one we've been waiting for." Pantherlily stated, appearing on Deuce's shoulder.
"Yeah, just give me 10 minutes. . ." (Name) waved her hand before going to the bathroom. "Wait me downstairs!"
~ 𝐑𝐚𝐦𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐥𝐞 𝐃𝐨𝐫𝐦 - 𝐋𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐠𝐞 ~
"Hm?" Carla heard a knock from the door. "It looks like someone's here." She muttered, flying to the door.
It turns out. . . It was Cater Diamond. . .
"Good morning~!" Cater greeted as he entered the Lounge.
" Good morning, Cater-senpai." The cats and the 2 boys greeted.
"How was yesterday's sleepover~? Did you experience youth fully by playing cards and other games~?" Cater asked.
Ace yawned while nodding, "Yeah, we played some cards."
"Grim didn't know the rules so he kept picking old maid~." Happy secretly teased Grim.
"Damn it...! I couldn't win at all!!" Grim complained while stomping his foot.
"Your face completely shows when you get the joker card, you know?" Deuce remarked.
"He has no tactics. . ." Pantherlily muttered.
Right in time, (Name) just finished showering and had her uniform on. A small portion of her right hair is tied with a yellow ribbon, while her belt, full of her keys and her whip, is really secured. But her left hand has no glove on. . .
Carla then flew on (Name)'s shoulder, "(Name), thanks for the apples, by the way. . ."
(Name) giggled, "Welcome, Carla."
"I see (Name)-chan!" Cater exclaimed and ran to the Heartfilia. "Good morning, (Name)-chan~!" He hugged her.
"Cater-senpai, Good morning. . ." (Name) sweatdropped.
"Then, shall we hurry and bring the tarts we made to apologize to Riddle?" Cater asked the freshies. "Oh, actually, I want you to hurry and come with me because we're lacking man-power for the party."
"Man-power?" Ace and Happy asked.
"I'm a girl. . ." (Name) and Carla raised their hands.
"It's nothing, I was talking to myself~!" Cater waved his hand. "Let's hurry and go to the Unbirthday Party, boys and girls~!"
~ 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐬𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐲𝐮𝐥 𝐃𝐨𝐫𝐦 ~
"Alright, I'll head on and bring the tart to the Dorm Head so I can apologize..." Ace whispered.
"I'll support you, Ace!" Happy cheered.
Ace laughed, "Thanks, Happy. . ." He rubbed his head.
As they arrive on the Exterior of the Rose Maze, they saw a familiar orange hair on the distance. . .
"Hey, you're finally here~! What took you so long, me?"
"I'm home~! Sorry for the wait, me~"
"EHHHH?!" The exceeds and Grim yelled.
"Th-there are two Diamond-senpais...!?" Deuce asked, pointing the two Caters.
"You were a twin!?" Ace yelled.
(Name) didn't look faze at all, since she knew Cater's magic when she battled him back when they visited the Heartslabyul Dorm. . .
"Oh, no. I'm the only male sibling." The 2nd Cater in Gym Uniform corrected. "This is my unique magic, Split Card. I can make clones of myself using magic~!"
"So this is the reason why we couldn't beat him at all yesterday..." Deuce whispered.
"Yeah, even my Música Sword can't hit him. . ." Pantherlily agreed.
"Welcome back, Carla-chan, Happy-chan, Lily-chan, and Grim-chan~!" Another Cater appeared in his lab coat.
"ANOTHER ONE!" Happy shrieked.
"Welcome, (Name)-chan~!" Another Cater in his robe held (Name)'s palms.
"THERE'S ONE THERE!" Carla pointed where (Name) is.
"It was so difficult~! You made me wait so long, Acey~!" The 2nd Cater patted Ace's head.
"There's more of him!!!" Ace and Deuce quivered.
"Who's the real Cater?" (Name) asked.
The 2nd Cater raised his hand, "The real Cater is me~ Cloning myself is pretty tiring, so I don't want to prolong this." He affirmed. "In any case, it's off with our heads if we're late. Come on and give us a hand, please~?" He favored (Name).
"Paint the roses again?" Pantherlily probed.
"Yes~!" The real Cater replied with a happy face, causing for (Name) and her cats to sigh in defeat. "I'll take you to Riddle after we're done."
"You're a really carefree guy, huh~!" Ace irked a mark.
"Alright, let's get started~!" The real Cater exclaimed as his clones grabbed the freshmen.
[𝐀𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐏𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐝. . . 𝐀𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧. . .]
"Alright, this is the final rose! Turn red!" Deuce aimed his magical pen on the last white rose.
"Good job, Deuce." Pantherlily patted Deuce's shoulder.
Deuce wiped an invisible sweat while smiling, "Yeah, Lily. . . "
"I'm so tired as hell!" Happy wailed.
"All you did is carry the bucket, Happy. . ." Ace remarked.
Happy pouted, "It was heavy, y'know!" He complained.
"I'm done~!" (Name) happily skipped, waving her own magical pen.
"You're getting the hang of it, (Name)-chan~!" Cater praised.
"You probably need to teach me that, (Name). . . I hate doing it manually. . ." Carla murmured, resting on (Name)'s head.
"Sure, Carla!" (Name) nodded.
"That was tough, but we're finally done~!" Grim cooed.
"Nothing to complain about this now, right, Cater-senpai?" Ace asked Cater.
"Hm, let's see..." Cater looked at their works. "You all did great! Gold stars for all of you~! Thank you for the hard work, freshies~ ♪!" He clapped his hands.
They got out of the Rose Maze and rest their tired body on a nearby bench. (Name) was between the boys with Grim and Carla on her lap, Deuce on her left with Pantherlily on his shoulder, and Ace is on her right with Happy on his head. . .
"We... We did better than yesterday." Deuce panted.
"Yeah. . . I feel I want to eat a whole (Favorite Cake Flavor) cake right now. . ." (Name) murmured.
"(Name), your teeth will decay. . ." Carla chided.
"Eh!" (Name) complained.
"You did great~♪!" Cater patted the humans heads. He looked at his phone, "Oh! It's almost time. Me army, we're done for the day~!"
"Aye, Aye, sir~!" The Cater clones saluted before vanishing one by one.
"His magic is really creepy~. . ." Happy commented.
~ 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐬𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐲𝐮𝐥 𝐃𝐨𝐫𝐦 - 𝐓𝐞𝐚 𝐆𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐧 ~
"Make way for our leader, the Red Ruler: Prefect Riddle!" A Heartslabyul student announced.
"Three cheers for Prefect Riddle!" Another Heartslabyul student declared.
Riddle was wearing the dorm leader uniform of Heartslabyul, along with the other students of Heartslabyul and Trey. . .
"So this is the Tea Garden, how cute. . ." (Name) commented, looking at the roses.
"Indeed. The roses are red and the tablecloths are white. Truly a perfect Unbirthday Party." Riddle proclaimed, sitting on his 'throne'. "The Dormouse is sleeping inside the teapot just as planned, correct?"
"Of course." Trey replied. "The jam to put on one's nose is ready, should the need arise, too." He added.
Riddle smiled, "Well done."
"Look, its Trey-senpai!" Happy pointed.
"Stop pointing, Happy!" Carla hissed.
"Whoa...!" Grim looked at Riddle. "What's with that get-up! He looks so cool!" He complimented Riddle.
Cater, who just entered the Tea Garden, approached the freshies. . .
"It's totally fashionable and very 'grammable~!" Cater winked. "I'm gonna go get changed, too."
"Oh, Cater-senpai." Pantherlily quipped.
Cater pulled his magical pen and *POOF!* he's wearing the dorm uniform of Heartslabyul without an ease. . .
"The Queen of Hearts states that a dress code is necessary for party days, after all~!" Cater stated. "I'll coordinate your clothes for you as a special service for today~!" He aimed his magical pen to the freshmen.
*POOF!*
"Whoa...!" Deuce looked at his uniform.
"Dude, this is totally stylish!" Ace babbled, playing with his vest.
"It's cute~!" (Name) commented, playing with the apron.
Her dress was the red version of the girl in her dream. The dress was hetechromatic, the left is red and the right is black. A white apron is an addition to that. Her hair is also change into a low ponytail, tied by a red ribbon. Her hands is covered with white gloves and her thigh high socks are white, opposite of the color of her shoes. . .
I forgot something! A joker card on her dress, by the way. . .
"Nyaha! I look so cool!" Grim smirked.
"My bag is red and black colored!" Happy exclaimed.
"I like the color. . ." Carla whispered. Her upper dress is red colored with black crisscross between and her skirt is black.
"Not bad." Pantherlily said. His right pants is black and the left one is red.
"You guys look like carriage drivers." (Name) joked at Ace and Deuce's clothes.
"Don't forget to offer him the tart, got it~?" Cater asked, earning a nod from them. "Alright, off to the party!"
(Name) took a look around since her companions left her, along Deuce and Ace. Riddle noticed her on the corner of his eye. He made his way to her and grabbed her right hand from behind. . .
"Prefect Heartfilia, great to see you here." Riddle softly smiled at her, bowing a bit.
(Name) curtsied, "It's also nice to see you here, Prefect Rosehearts. Vice Prefect Clover invited me, along with Diamond-senpai."
Riddle gave her a nod, "Then its great. Please enjoy the party, I'll be returning to my seat."
As Riddle left (Name), she exhaled deeply and wiped an invisible sweat on her forehead. . .
"That was scary~. . ."
[𝐆𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦 𝟏𝟎 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐭𝐞𝐬, '𝐤𝐚𝐲?]
"Let us toast before we proceed with the croquet match." Riddle announced, standing from his 'throne'. "Does anyone have their tea cups already?" He asked.
They all nod as response. . .
"Now then, a toast to a day with no birthdays. A toast to the Unbirthday Party!" Riddle exclaimed.
"Cheers!" They all exclaimed.
"What is this drink anyway?" Happy asked, quietly.
Carla shrugged, "I don't know."
Pantherlily sniffed the drink, "It's smells good though."
Cater immediately approached Ace. . .
"Acey, now's your chance, look." Cater whispered, pointing on Riddle.
Ace breathed in and out, "Alright..." He approached the Prefect. " Um, Prefect...~"
Riddle turned to Ace, "You are... Ah, the 1st year who stole my tarts."
(Name), Deuce, Grim, and the exceeds watched Ace from their table. (Name) was stifling her giggle because of Ace's nervousness, Deuce just shook his head while smiling, Grim is munching some food, Carla is eating fruits while watching Ace, Happy is eating his raw fish, and Pantherlily is eating kiwi fruit. . .
Ace scratched the back of his head, "Um... I was thinking of apologizing for what I did, so I uh..." He pulled the plate full of his bake tarts. "I made a new batch of tarts."
Riddle raised an eyebrow, "Hm? I'll ask just to be sure, but what kind of tarts did you make?" He asked.
Ace lightened up, "Thank you for asking! It's a Mont blanc made with lots of chestnuts!" He happily replied.
Riddle widened his eyes, "Mont blanc?! Unbelievable!" He yelled in disbelief.
"Eh!?" Ace gasped.
"Rule #562 of the Queen of Hearts. "Refrain from bringing Mont blanc for the Unbirthday Party." This is a capital crime! What have you done!?" Riddle declared.
"We need to help Ace. . ." (Name) whispered to them.
Back to Ace and Riddle. . .
"You've wasted a perfect Unbirthday Party!" Riddle yelled at Ace.
"R-Rule # 562!?" Deuce exclaimed.
"Just how many rules are there!?" (Name) yelled, asking Riddle.
"There are a total of 810 rules and I've memorized all of them. A small feat for a Dorm Head, I must say." Riddle replied.
"He's memorized all of them!?" The exceeds blurted.
Cater whispered on Trey, "Oh, man... This is bad... Did you know that, Trey?" He asked.
Trey whispered on Cater, "I've only managed to memorize until Rule #350. I completely let my guard down. Who'd have imagined there would be rules regarding the tarts, too..."
"As Heartslabyul's Prefect, I cannot simply turn a blind eye towards this appalling rule-breaking." Riddle declared.
(Name) immediately got back to their table because she placed her keys and whip on the table...
"Get those marron tarts away from me at once!" Riddle ordered. Then he pointed on Deuce, Ace, Grim, and the exceeds, "And throw this group away from the grounds at once!"
"W-Why my exceeds?!" (Name) hissed, placing the keys and her whip on the belt.
"Wait a sec! As if I'd listen to a ridiculous rule like that!" Ace barked at Riddle.
"He's right! If you're going to throw the tarts away, then I'll just eat them!" Grim badgered.
"Wasting food is much a capital crime!" Happy hollered.
"There are a lot of people dying in hunger and you're just gonna throw it away?!" Carla yelled on Riddle.
"Prefect, I'm so sorry. I'm the one who suggested making the marron tarts." Trey bowed at Riddle.
"Exactly! We didn't think that there'd be a rule against it." Cater also bowed.
Riddle glared at them, "The fact that you made them isn't the problem!" He proclaimed. "My issue is the fact that you brought them here!"
"You're so stupid for obeying absurd rules like that!" (Name) shouted.
"She's right! I've had enough of hearing all those ridiculous rules. Aren't you being kinda stupid?" Ace asked Riddle.
"P-Prefect Heartfilia. . ." Riddle ogled. "Stupid, you say. . . INSTEAD OF AGREEING WITH ME, YOU'RE AGREEING WITH THIS RULE BREAKERS! YOU'RE A DISGRACE OF BEING A PREFECT!"
"LIKE I AGREED BEING A PREFECT! I DIDN'T EVEN AGREE ON IT AT THE FIRST PLACE!" (Name) yelled back. "WHAT'S THE POINT OF BEING A PREFECT IF YOU WON'T GIVE FREEDOM TO YOUR DORM?!"
"Hey, stop! That's an absolute taboo word...!" Cater stopped (Name) from yelling more. "Also, Riddle, these guys are just some freshies who got accepted to the school." He reasoned.
"Let me go!" (Name) yelled, wriggling free from Cater's hold.
"Nah, I'm gonna say it. Only an idiot would listen to a rule about tarts. Don't mess with me." Ace declared.
"I'm of the same opinion as Ace. Of course, I admit that breaking the rules is not a good thing, but... This is too much already." Deuce also agreed.
"How bold of you to talk back to me." Riddle is getting red. "Listen well. Breaking a small rule will result to a big problem someday." He assured.
"Then what?!" Happy yelled. "What's with rules if it just gonna destroy an individual's freedom?!"
"All the other guys, too!" Pantherlily pointed on the Heartslabyul students. "They're just scared that they're gonna get collars so they're not saying anything, but I'm sure they're thinking the same thing!" He shouted.
(Name) kicked Cater's knee, causing for him to knelt and touched his knee. She immediately ran to Ace and Deuce's side. . .
"No, we're..." A Heartslabyul student refrained Pantherlily.
"Say it!" Carla refuted.
"Heh, is that so?" Riddle asked.
"N-no, it's not true, Prefect! We do all we can to follow what you say, Prefect!" A Heartslabyul student objected.
"No way...!" The exceeds and Grim quaked.
"Running away, huh. How lame." Ace mocked the students.
"Ever since the year I became the head, not one student from Heartslabyul has ever repeated a year nor was anyone expelled." Riddle claimed. "And that's counting all the dorms in this school. That means that I am the most exceptional and the strongest!"
"Strongest?! Hah! You make me laugh!" Carla taunted.
"That is why I am the only one who's always right! There is nothing wrong with following what I say!" Riddle exposed.
"That's just...!" Deuce widened his eyes while backing up.
"It's not like I'm doing this because I enjoy it. Aren't you the ones at fault for breaking the rules?" Riddle asked.
Trey was silent all of the while. (Name) took her exceeds and placed them behind her, in case of something happened. . .
"If you're not going to obey me, then it's off with your heads!" Riddle threatened.
"Everyone, come on. Just say "Yes, Prefect~"!" Cater begged.
The humans and the cats looked at each other, nodding in agreement. . .
"Like I would do that!" Happy crossed his arms, turning his head on the side.
"No!" Carla headstrongly affirmed.
"I wouldn't." Pantherlily declared.
"I will not." Deuce firmly claimed.
"Me too. . ." (Name) nodded.
"I've had enough playing along with this selfish tyrant!" Ace shouted.
"What did you just say...?" Riddle fumed.
"He said that you're an irritable and selfish little tyrant whose unreasonable with trivial things like food!" Grim repeated, but more irritating.
"H-hey! He didn't go that far...!" Deuce and Lily sweatdropped.
「𝐎𝐟𝐟 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐝!」
𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐁𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐫!
"AHHHHHHH!" Deuce and Grim got collars.
"This collar again...!?" Grim yelled.
"Damn it... I can't take it off...!" Deuce irked a mark.
But (Name) and her exceeds didn't get one. . . Because from the magic of Star Dress: Aquarius Form, (Name) can summon a barrier. . .
"What happened?! Why is the collars on the ground?!" Riddle yelled as he saw 4 collars on the ground infront of (Name) and the exceeds.
"Your magic has a flaw!" (Name) replied. "As long as a magical barrier protects an individual, your magic won't take effect on that person!" She declared, taking out one of her golden keys.
𝐎𝐩𝐞𝐧! 𝐆𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐬: 𝐋𝐢𝐛𝐫𝐚!
"Yes, young princess?" Libra asked as she appeared on (Name)'s side.
"Control everyone's gravity except for ours!" (Name) ordered.
"As you wish." Then Libra used her magic to control everyone's gravity except for Ace, Deuce, (Name), Grim, and the exceeds.
"I-I can't move!" A Heartslabyul student exclaimed.
"Me too!" The other agreed.
"AH!" Another one shouted.
Trey, Cater, and Riddle also can't move. . .
"Happy, Lily! Take Ace and Deuce away! Now!" (Name) ordered.
"Aye!" "Sure!" The two boys exceeds nodded, taking the two away.
(Name) tried to look for Grim because he was missing from her side. Lily took Deuce and Happy took Ace. . .
"(Name)! How about you?!" Deuce asked from above.
"Wait! Let me find Grim!" (Name) replied.
Then she saw Grim, mocking the Heartslabyul students. She ran to him before she get a collar from Riddle. . .
"You can't move now, huh!" Grim mocked.
(Name) took Grim from the ground, "Grim, not now!" She hissed. "Carla, give me a lift!"
Carla used her 'Aera' and flew on (Name)'s back, carrying her. Riddle tried to lift his hand, but Libra's magic prevent him from doing that. When (Name) is already on the air, she closed Libra's gate before disappearing from the three upperclassmen's sight. . .
"My body hurts~. . ." Cater murmured, cracking his back.
"(Name). . ." Trey mumbled. ". . . Prefect Rosehearts, what are you gonna do?" He asked, helping Riddle to get up.
"I'm gonna talk with the Prefect Heartfilia tomorrow." Riddle replied. "Good grief... Let's continue with the party to get things back on track." He announced.
Trey nodded, "Yes, Prefect Rosehearts."
"We still have a croquet competition after this, too." Riddle added, looking at his watch. "Ah, look we're already 15 minutes behind schedule! This is the worst!" He yelled.
"Yes, Prefect..." Trey bowed before getting to the side of Cater.
"Are you really okay with this...?" Cater asked in a quiet tone.
Trey sighed, ". . . . . . . . . There's nothing I can really do..." He replied.
Riddle didn't knew. . . A black ink started to devour his heart, deceiving it to made Riddle even much worst than Trey's imagination. . .
~ 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡 (𝐍𝐚𝐦𝐞) 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐬 ~
"DAMN IT!! I'm never apologizing, got that!?" Ace suddenly yelled, surprising the Heartfilia and the Spade.
"Ace, stop yelling out of nowhere, please?" (Name) favored while sweatdropping.
"Don't bother him." Happy spoked from Ace's behind.
