No one's POV:

It was history class, and it is almost time for the bell to ring. Every students eyes are practically glued on the clock, well... everyone except our ginger haired first year.

Ace is once again lost in his thoughts, he heard the voice again not too long ago and it's starting to creep him out. He NEEDS to find out where, what, and whose voice is always calling him.

.

"Alright, class dismissed", Prof Trein concluded.
.

The students cheers internally and are now planning things to do on the weekends.
.

.
Timeskip at Sunday night...
.

.
No one's POV:

"Oh, C'MON! THAT'S NOT FAIR FOR US!!", Epel screamed

Deuce agreed to his statement, "YEAH! YOU HAVE A GHOST AS A TEAMMATE WHERE HE COULD JUST FORM INTO ANYTHING!"

.

.

.

The first years were bored even though it was the weekend, so they planned on having a sleepover at Ramshackle and they were currently playing charades....

The teams are: Adeuce, Epel&Jack, Yuu&Sebek, and Grim&one of the ghost...

The other teams were not happy that Grim is winning since his teammate can practically just form out what its said in the paper....

After a loooong night of playing:

.

.

.

Yuu- "Phew, that was VERY exhausting...ALRIGHT! TIME TO SLEEP EVERYONE!"

Groans were heard (mainly Ace, Grim, Epel)

Ace- "Oh c'mon! just one more round???"

Jack- "Yuu's right guys, we have school tomorrow-"

Sebek- "THE HUMAN IS RIGHT! I DO NOT WANT TO BE LATE AT MY JOB IN PROTECTING WAKASAMA!!!"

Everyone covered their ears, 'We seriously need to do something about that' they thought...

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Everyone is now at Yuu's room (Pretend his room is huge), snoring and sleeping. Ace is dreaming about a certain navy haired heartslabyul student, and was peacefully enjoying it...

.

.

.

That is until...

.

.

.

𝘈𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘈𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘩~

Ace shifted in his sleep, but he didn't wake up.

.

.

..

..

.

.

.

.

𝘈𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘈𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘩~

He then grumbled and opened his eyes 'Not that stupid voice again!!'. He quietly groaned and got up, he then went outside the room and walked through the halls.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

𝘈𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘈𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘩~

At this point, he decided to talk/sing...

"𝘐 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘺𝘰𝘶, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘐 𝘸𝘰𝘯'𝘵, 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘦 𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵. 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦'𝘴 𝘢 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘴𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘐 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘨𝘰 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘮𝘺 𝘥𝘢𝘺, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘨𝘯𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴, 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘩 𝘐 𝘸𝘪𝘴𝘩 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘨𝘰 𝘢𝘸𝘢𝘺, 𝘰𝘩~"

𝘈𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘈𝘢𝘢𝘢~

"𝘖𝘩~"

AaaaAaah~

At the staircase, he starts walking down towards the living room

"𝘠𝘰𝘶'𝘳𝘦 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘢 𝘷𝘰𝘪𝘤𝘦! 𝘠𝘰𝘶'𝘳𝘦 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘯 𝘮𝘺 𝘦𝘢𝘳. 𝘈𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘧 𝘐 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶, 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘩 𝘐 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵, 𝘐'𝘮 𝘴𝘱𝘰𝘬𝘦𝘯 𝘧𝘰𝘳, 𝘐 𝘧𝘦𝘢𝘳"

He opened the front door but then looked back at the stairs

"𝘌𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘐'𝘷𝘦 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘴 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘴"

He then looks outside

"𝘐'𝘮 𝘴𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘺, 𝘴𝘦𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘵 𝘴𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘯, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘐 𝘣𝘭𝘰𝘤𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘴"

He goes outside. While walking, he then remembers all of the overblots incidents that happened.

"𝘐'𝘷𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘥 𝘮𝘺 𝘢𝘥𝘷𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘴, 𝘐 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘯𝘦𝘸. 𝘐'𝘮 𝘢𝘧𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘥 𝘰𝘧 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘐'𝘮 𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘧 𝘐 𝘧𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘸 𝘺𝘰𝘶"

He fastened his pace and then starts running.

"𝘐𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘶𝘯𝘬𝘰𝘸𝘯! ~
.

𝘐𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘶𝘯𝘬𝘰𝘸𝘯!~

𝘐𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘶𝘯𝘬𝘰𝘸𝘯!~"

𝘈𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘈𝘢𝘢𝘩~

.

.

.

Ace sighed and just kept walking until he reached to the mirror chamber (idk where it is but imagine the mirror chamber is in a diff. place near Ramshackle)...

He goes inside and walks towards the magic mirror.

"𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘥𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵? '𝘊𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶'𝘷𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘬𝘦𝘦𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘦 𝘢𝘸𝘢𝘬𝘦. 𝘈𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘵 𝘮𝘦, 𝘴𝘰 𝘐 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘢 𝘣𝘪𝘨 𝘮𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦?"

He stops infront of the mirror and looks around.

"𝘖𝘳 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦, 𝘸𝘩𝘰'𝘴 𝘢 𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦 𝘣𝘪𝘵 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘮𝘦?"

He then slowly looks at his own reflection, face formed into sadness and confusion.

"𝘞𝘩𝘰 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸𝘴 𝘥𝘦𝘦𝘱 𝘥𝘰𝘸𝘯, 𝘐'𝘮 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘐'𝘮 𝘮𝘦𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦?"

Slowly, he looks at himself.

"𝘌𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘥𝘢𝘺'𝘴 𝘢 𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘳, 𝘢𝘴 𝘐 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭 𝘮𝘺 𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘪𝘤 𝘨𝘳𝘰𝘸~"

His face is now forming a small smile.

"𝘋𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦'𝘴 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘮𝘦, 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘨𝘰~"

He is now full on smiling

"𝘐𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘶𝘯𝘬𝘰𝘸𝘯!"

He puts his right hand on the mirror and the mirror suddenly bursts into red sparkles and rose petals

"𝘐𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘶𝘯𝘬𝘰𝘸𝘯!"

The sparkles then formed into a hare, some human card soldiers, giant talking flowers, and so on.

"𝘐𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘶𝘯𝘬𝘰𝘸𝘯!~"

𝘈𝘩-𝘢𝘩, 𝘢𝘩-𝘢𝘩, 𝘢𝘩-𝘢𝘩, 𝘢𝘩-𝘢𝘩~

While looking at everything, vines starts appearing

"𝘖𝘩, 𝘰𝘩, 𝘰𝘩~ 𝘈𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦? 𝘋𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘮𝘦? 𝘊𝘢𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭 𝘮𝘦? 𝘊𝘢𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘮𝘦?"

"𝘈𝘩-𝘢𝘩, 𝘢𝘩-𝘢𝘩~"

(𝘢𝘩-𝘢𝘩, 𝘢𝘩-𝘢𝘩)

He turns around to try and find the voice, but couldn't find it

"𝘈𝘩-𝘢𝘩, 𝘢𝘩-𝘢𝘩~"

(𝘢𝘩-𝘢𝘩, 𝘢𝘩-𝘢𝘩)

While trying to find the voice, the petals then starts to form 4 different people

"𝘈𝘩-𝘢𝘩, 𝘢𝘩-𝘢𝘩!"

It form into what looked like the Queen of Hearts

"𝘈𝘩-𝘢𝘩, 𝘢𝘩-𝘢𝘩!"   "𝘈𝘩-𝘢𝘩, 𝘢𝘩-𝘢𝘩!"

The other 2 then turned into other queens, 'they look... familliar...' he thought but he couldn't figure out....

Until...

.

.

..

𝘈𝘩-𝘢𝘩, 𝘢𝘩-𝘢𝘩-𝘢𝘩~!

This time, the petals formed into a woman he recognized from stories and pictures.

'Mom?!'

He starts running towards her, frowning and starts to plead.

"𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘨𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨? 𝘋𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘮𝘦 𝘢𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘦!~"

The figure backs away while humming and smiling

"𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘥𝘰 𝘐 𝘧𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘸 𝘺𝘰𝘶?!"

He keeps running and running

"𝘐𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘶𝘯𝘬𝘰𝘸𝘯!!!"

Right as he was about to grab her, he crash into the mirror and-

.

.

.

.

.

..

?- "ACE!!!"

.

.

.

.

.

Ace jerked awake and looked up to see... 'Deuce?'

Ace- "Wha-"

Deuce- "C'mon we need to hurry up before we'll be late!!!! I don't want my head chopped off at the first day of the week!!"

Deuce then starts running downstairs, leaving Ace with his thoughts...

Ace- 'Was it all just a dream?'
