"Valentine's Day?" asked Boris, curious as ever.
Alice nodded. "Haven't you ever heard of it?"
"No, we haven't. What is that?" asked Dee.
Alice, Boris, and the Bloody Twins were walking around in the forest surrounding the Clock Tower. It was a day like any other in Wonderland. "The fourteenth of February is Valentine's Day. It's when you give the person you like some chocolate."
An expression of surprise and excitement appeared on the Bloody Twins' faces. "So that means that we might get chocolate?" asked Dee.
"And we can eat all of it?" finished Dum. At this point, they were jumping up and down, pulling on Alice's dress.
"Let go!" she yelled. "Yes, one way to put it. But don't expect any chocolate from me. I think Valentine's Day is crap." Alice hesitated for a moment, pondering whether to say what she wanted to. At last, she made her decision. "Besides, this is just a dream."
Boris and the Twins looked at her with a curious glance. However, they didn't say anything. Suddenly, the scenery changed and it was pitch black. It became night in Wonderland.
"I'm going back to the Clock Tower now," declared Alice. "You guys should go home too." And with that, she left.
[At the Hatter Mansion]
The Bloody Twins ran straight home. "Blood! Blood!" they shouted. "Did you know about Valentine's Day?"
Blood and Elliot were discussing…certain affairs…when the Bloody Twins burst into the study. Blood looked up with a scowl on his face.
"How many times did I tell you not to come in here without knocking first?" Elliot hit both of them on the head.
"OW! We're sorry! But it's reeeaaallly exciting! Alice just told us about it!"
When Blood heard Alice's name, he perked up. "…What did she say?"
The Twins, even more eager to speak now that their master has shown interest, rushed ahead. "Valentine's Day," said Dum, "is when you give the person you like chocolate!" The Twins chatted excitedly about their new discovery. Meanwhile, Blood thought about what the Twins just told him."Hmm…Valentine's Day; is that right?" Elliot stood aside silently, with an unreadable expression on his face. He could tell that Blood was planning something.
[At the Amusement Park]
"Well, that was interesting," contemplated Boris, while sneaking back into the Amusement Park. "I wish I could have learnt more about it."
"About what?"
"Valentine's Day! What else?"
"I see. Then is that the reason you snuck out again?"
"Erk." Boris slowly turned around to find Mary Gowland glaring at him. "Crap! I thought I got in without getting seen!"
"Nope," said Mary. "You're caught, you damn cat! What did you tell her this time?"
"Hey! Just because I told her your name doesn't mean that I told her anything else! Besides, there's nothing else good to talk about - in your case, at least. So don't jump to conclusions, Old Man. She told me something. And I'm not telling you!" With that, Boris turned and walked away.
Ace showed up at the Clock Tower early in the morning, looking for Julius. "I have some important business to discuss with him," he explained to Alice.
"He's upstairs in his study as usual."
"Thanks. Oh, and um, do you mind stepping outside? It's, er, sort of confidential. No offense."
"Sure. I was about to leave anyways."
Alice just stepped out of the Clock Tower when the Bloody Twins ambushed her. "Alice, Alice!" they sang. "Tell us more about Valentine's Day! Please?"
Then Boris stepped out of the bushes, surprising Alice. "Yeah, I want to hear more about it too."
Suddenly Peter came running out of the forest and practically tackled Alice. "My dear, sweet Alice! Oh, how I've missed you so! Hmm? Alice, you look like you're in pain!" She was leaning against the Clock Tower's door, rubbing her head gently.
"Get off me, you stupid rabbit! That really hurt!" She glared at him.
As Peter backed away, Ace and Julius came running outside. "What's wrong? What happened?"
Alice ignored them and turned her gaze to Boris and the Bloody Twins. "I told you yesterday, it's when you give the person you like chocolate! That's all there is to that stupid holiday!" While she yelled, his silhouette appeared in her mind. Tears began to gather in her eyes. Not wanting everyone else to see her cry, she ran back into the Clock Tower. "Damn it all," she thought. "Why did they have to remind me of him?"
Outside the Tower, everyone was silent for a moment. Then pandemonium broke out.
"What just happened?"
"Why'd Alice run away?"
"Is she okay?"
"BE QUIET!" shouted Julius. "Alice…obviously is not in favour of this holiday that she was talking about. I suggest you leave her alone." The tone of his voice left no room for discussion. Boris, Peter and the Bloody Twins turned away dejectedly. Ace bowed and left. Julius went back into the Clock Tower.
While walking, Peter devised a plan. He turned to his companions. "Tomorrow will be Valentine's Day!" he declared. "Alice will love the chocolate that I get her," he sang happily. Then he suddenly felt a blade pressing against his neck.
"No way, you damn rabbit! Alice will only accept OUR chocolate!" complained the Twins. Then the three started bickering.
Boris stood by, wondering how he would get his own chocolate that he would give to Alice. He kept silent, even as the group parted ways. "Maybe the Old Man can help me. But then, I'd have a huge debt to pay off."
That night, the Bloody Twins knocked politely on the door of Blood's study.
"Come in!"
The Twins entered with angelic faces.
"What do you want?"
"Blood…can we please have some chocolate?"
"What am I, your father? No way in hell. If you want some, get it yourselves."
Elliot stood by, strangely staying quiet, while the Bloody Twins complained and whined. He would've very much liked to pull out his gun right there and threaten the two, but Blood had instructed him not to do anything. "But he bought some chocolate today. I thought that it was for himself...but I've never known him not to give some to the Twins to make them shut up. I wonder why he's keeping it for himself, even having to put up with these brats..."
