wonderland part 2

joker smirks and snaps his fingers disappearing.
alice and yuki run over to clocks and run up the stairs. they knock on the door.

"What is it?" He called out as he sat at his empty desk.

they open up the door "do you know where ace is?"
ace was bringing back the clock for Clock. he finally reaches the tower and sighs. he takes a small break and takes off his hood.

alice smiles "because we have to talk to him about joker!"

"You will have ti find him on your own. for I know he could have gotten lost." He said as he looked out of a window, "Why are you helping him since his little act last night?"

alice blonks "well because he came to me crying.. i can't let him be sad.. so am trying to help him.."
yuki smiles "hes not a total bad guy.." she looks at clock "do you think hes a bad guy clock?"

"I believe that his greatest hobby is to get people to believe his little tricks, fooling them to play his game. I'm not saying he is the bad guy, but I don't trust him." He explained and faced the girls, plus he knows who Natsu really is. If he tells the Queen of Hearts then that could cause trouble.

alice looks at clock "i don't think hes going to tell.. because wouldn't he have told already?"
ace gets up and begins to walk up the stairs of the tower to let clock know he was back with the clock and that he was about to bring it up.

Clock opens the door"Welcoem back, that was much faster then normal."

ace smiles "yep i guess i get better directions when i get a little upset." he chuckles and looks at alice. his smile grows "hey alice! hey yuki. whats up?"
alice smiles "we came to talk to you.." she walks up to him and hugs him.
yuki smiles "its about joker!"
aces eyes turn cold and mad "what about joker? did he hurt you alice?!"

"No Alice is just playing his games." he said casually as he went to expect the clock.

ace looks at her "alice don't play his game.. it can be dangerous..."
alice blinks "what... how.. i came here to ask you to play one game with him.."

"Alice, do you know what is game is? Maybe it involves doing as he, the joker says. Now, if you are going to aruge leave, I have work to do." He saids with out even looking at them.

ace looks at her "i'll talk to you later about this alice i have work..."
alice sighs and grabs yuki leaved the tower. she looks at her "maybe i shouldn't trust joker.."

Natsu walked own the path, she was to help Clock with the old grandfather clock.

alice sighs as she walks with yuki "i don't know what i'll tell joker.. am afraid he'll get sad.."
yuki looks at her "i think we better deal with joker being sad.. did you notice the room got colder when we said jokers name are ace.. it was kinda scary.." she shivers remembering aces happy-go-luck eyes turn mean and cold.

Natsu walked down the path, she stopped when she heard voices, not too far a head of her was the girls Yuki and Alice.

yuki looks up and smiles "hey look alice its natsu maybe she can help.."
alice smiles and nods. she runs over to her. "hey natsu can i ask you for advice?"

alice looks at her "do you think we should trust joker with this whole game thing?"
Yuki adds "because we tired to talk to ace about it and he got all mean looking about.." she thinks for a moment "he said something else that was kinda scary... he warned alice not to play with joker but he didn't say why.."

alice blinks "i can't threaten ace... he said he would talk to us later... but am not sure what to do about joker.."
