Hunting the shadows and dreaming to go to the real world

pierce looks at him "am not going to talk but you should leave such a heavy task on such a nice persons shoulders.."

"don't worry, your task is only to live how you normally would, you will not be effected with anything unless you request to be." Clock smiled, "Since you have guest I suggest both of come for lunch. I would not want to leave Pierce here."

Pierce looks at him "thank you.."

clock handed Natsu a box she opened it and looked at a ring confused. "Alisha had a a third one made just for you. You can go back anytime now. I was thinking maybe the tree of us would go to the other world for lunch. That is if you don't mind Pierce." He turned to the dormouse to get his approval.

Pierce blushes "as long as there's not alot of people.."

"I know a quite place in the outskirts of my hold home town." Natsu suggested, "It is on the property on one of the farms, only backpackers go there from time to times. What do you think?" She asked.

Pierce nods "that sounds good.."

She placed the ring on and held on to Pierces hand/ Clock hold on to her shoulder as she twisted the ring and a bright light swallowed them.

When the light diapered they stood in the middle of a field. Natsu had her original look back and Clocks hair was short and dark, "I worked my time magic." He explained before Natsu could ask how and what just happened.

Pierce blinks and looks around he was freaking out on the inside. This was his first time being out of Wonderland and he felt like passing out.

Natsu touched her face to hind her lip piercing and looked at her blonde hair with a coloured streak in it. This was the look she had before her rebirth. She looked at the almost passed out Pierce, "You alright?" She asked.

Pierce looks at her with scared eyes. "first...first time out here.."

"No difference to wonderland, but less crazy. It felt like it was only yesterday that I was here, but i know it has been years." She sighed at the end.

Pierce looks at the ground.

"I'm guessing that is the cafe, come on." Clock said as pointed to wards the building. Natsu nodded and walked towards it, "Are you okay Pierce?" He asked.

Pierce looks at him "am fine.. Just thinking.."

"you can share anything with me. I used to have Henry March in my office regualry, he feels it easier there to express his emotions and talk to someone who is not a role holder about them. He said as he followed Natsu, "Fixing cloaks alone cane be dull at times."

Pierce looks at him "am fine am still thinking about Alice.."

Pierce looks at him "she got upset and said it was to much to try to keep everyone happy.."

"To make everyone happy is difficult. One person may like dark music, the other romantic music, so what to do play to make them both happy all the time?" He asked, "I'm sure Alice will work something out, I don't believe that she can make everyone happy but she can bring change to Wonderland which is what is needed. I suggest we hurry up. Natsu doesn't always like to be waiting."

Pierce sighs and walks to nastu he still worried about Alice. She seemed so upset and he wanted to do something nice for her.

Natsu opened the door to the cafe, "After you slow pocks." She joked as she bowed like she was opening the door to royalty.

Pierce blushes and walks in.

"Natsu, is that you, my, my it had been years since we last saw you." An old lady greeted them and hugged her, "People said you were missing, we were all very worried. But you must be hungry." She smiled, "You and your friends go take a seat."

Clock walked towards a booth that was near the window.

Pierce sits down near the window. He rests his head in his hand and looks out the window.
