His eyes narrowed. "That is the most childish and unoriginal response."
                          
"Yeah, whatever." I say, turning back towards the play, which seems to be still going well at this point.
                          
"You've been acting weird lately." 
                          
I glance back over at Kyoya. "Really now?"
                          
"Yes." He says, adjusting his glasses. "In fact, you've been at my home quite often lately and it's actually very suspicious..."
                          
I don't say anything because it's true. I have been over at his place more and more these days. Either to discuss things with his father or to find a way to tell Ashes the truth as well as the group. But so far, nothing has been a sealed deal.... 
                          
'That is, until now.' An idea suddenly popped into my head. As much as it hurt me a bit, I need it to happen. For Zoe's sake as well as his. 
                          
"Just what are you planing, Asami?" Kyoya asks, now glaring at me. Probably because I didn't answer. I sigh and run my fingers through my hair, smirking at him. 
                          
"Fine, you caught me." I roll my eyes. "I was planning on asking you to hang out next weekend."
                          
His glare becomes hard. ".... Excuse me?"
                          
"You heard me." I shrug. "You know, like hanging out? Go eat? Maybe talk?"
                          
His glare doesn't falter. "I am not into guys, Mr. Asami."
                          
I fake being offended. "Well, excuse me! I wouldn't go for you even if I was!"
                          
His left eye twitches and he opens his mouth to say something, but I cut him off. "Look, I just need to talk to you about something important, okay. Can we hang out next weekend?"
                          
He doesn't say anything, just continues staring at me with his dark colored eyes. I stare back, my smirk still plastered on my lips, but my eyes are as hard as stone. He can see that I'm serious and I know he knows that I know. 
                          
After a few seconds, he nods and turns away. 'Excellent...' I think as I turn back to the play.

Ashes' POV:

                          
"Twinkle twinkle little bat, 
How I wonder where you're at. 
Up above the world you fly, 
Like a tea train in the sky!" 
                          
Our table mouse bows dramatically as Valor and I giggled uncontrollably. 
                          
"Fantastic as ever, don't you think?" I ask. I can feel myself slipping back into sanity as I act. 
                          
Valor nods, getting into their own character. "Yeahyeahyeahyeahyeah! It was fetching....... Cup...."
                          
"Why, you're all so mad here." Alice says, who is now seated next to Valor.
                          
"Why thank you, my dear." The Cheshire Cat, who is seated on the other side of the table, smirks. "It just makes me want to purr~"
                          
"Mad..." I say, faking shock. "Have I gone.... Mad?"
                          
"Why yes, sir." Alice says, looking at me innocently. "You're completely off you're rockers......"
                          
I make the most creepiest smile I can muster. "I'm entirely bonkers~"
                          
"All because of her....." Valor says before pausing and holding up a spoon. ".... Spoon...."
                          
"Her? Who's her?"
                          
"Why, the Queen of Hearts, of course!" The Cheshire Cat says, crawling over to Alice. I'm very amused at how he cralwed over the tea sets to get to her and is now perched in front of her, his hands folded under his chin as his "tail" is high in the air.
