Chapter 16: Hard Work Undone

Andrea's POV:
We all painted the rest of the rose bushes in the maze and were down to last ones. Since Deuce and Grim were using their magic the whole time, they were a little exhausted but were better than how they were before. A lot less multicolored and burned roses. Based on how many roses the guys painted the last time, things were a lot easier this time. "... We did a lot better than yesterday!" Deuce said, panting as he tries to catch his breath. "You did well! Oops! It's almost time!" Cater said, turning to his clones, "Well done me's!" "Aye, aye, sir~" They all said. I raised my eyebrow at Cater's clones, "Something tells me I have to get use to this." I thought as Cater flipped his magic pen in the air before erasing his clone army. With the roses painted, the work for the day was complete, Cater lead us to the Unbirthday Party, which was taking place in the most extravagant part of the maze.

Tables spread from one side of the garden to the other. Each table had a clean, spotless white tablecloth, chairs of various sizes and design were placed all over, some were nothing more than stacks of books piled up with little stools on top. In the very heart of the garden, was a grand red heart throne. A perfect seat for the Queen of Hearts. Teacups and top hats were also stacked on top of each other as various treats and sandwiches were placed down on the table. Streamers of red and black and playing cards were strewed about above them as red roses surrounded them.

"Whoa..." I stare in amazement; I feel like I'm in that tea party in the movie. Now all we need is the Mad Hatter and the March Hare. Everyone was gathering around and taking their seats, placing more treats, teapots and standing in accordance when they greet Riddle. When everyone in Heartslabyul already arrived at the party, they stood by their seats as one of them, a freshman, that looks like rabbit beastman stood near the red heart throne, blew a trumpet horn and he boldly declared, "Announcing our great leader! The Crimson Ruler! Dorm Leader Riddle!" He moved his arm to gesture towards Riddle, with Trey walking behind him, as he makes his way to his throne.

"Dorm Leader Riddle! Hip, hip, hurray!" I noticed how they all cheered is not with joy but feels like they said it with a hint of fear. Riddle wore a small crown leaning on the left side of his head. His outfit consists of a white and red coat dress with the bottom being lined with a gold-colored fabric. The inside of the coat dress is entirely red and has a pattern consisting of tiny hearts, spades, diamonds, clovers, and crowns. He also wears white trousers.

Trey also looked different. He wore a white shirt, with an unbuttoned black vest and the customary Heartslabyul blazer to top it all off. The blazer was mostly white, but the collars were in a heart shape and were in red and black colors. The right sleeve was completely black while the left sleeve was in a black and white checkerboard pattern. Pinned on his blazer was the Heartslabyul crest, the "QH" heart pin, a red-stained white rose and a 3 of Clover playing card. On his fellow dormmates, Trey wears white trousers with a black and yellow ribbon at the waist, as well as black and white high-tops. He also dons a white fedora with a yellow and black striped band and a final clover pin to the side.

Riddle walks to his throne and sits gracefully as Trey stands beside him. He sat poised and graceful as his silver eyes gaze through the Tea Garden, checking every last detail of the party. Making sure that everything was in accordance with their traditions and no mistake was made. "Humm. The roses are red, the tablecloths are white. A perfect Unbirthday Party. You made sure there is a mouse asleep in the teapot, correct?" Riddle asks Trey.

"Of course. The jam to put on one's nose is ready, should the need arise, too." Trey said. Riddle closes his eyes and nods his head, pleased that things have met his needs. "Wonderful." The boys and I were at the main entrance of the Tea Garden and Grim was stary-eyed at the uniforms of Heartslabyul. "Fuwah! Look at their outfits! They look so cool!" Grim said in awe. "Heh heeh! It's so cool, the Heartslabyul dorm attire!" Cater said. "The style is on point and makes for great Magicgame! Which means it's time for me to change."

He flipped his magic pen in the air before pointing to himself. In a flash of light, his normal school uniform dissipated and was replaced by a whole new outfit. He wears a white shirt, with a red diamond-patterned vest covering it. Over the vest, he wears the blazer pinned with the red-stained white rose and a 4 of Diamonds playing card. He wore a black and yellow ribbon around his waist and red and white high tops. He also wears white trousers.

"Laws of the Queen of Hearts also states we have to dress formally on party days. As special service, I'll get you coordinated too." Cater said. He points his pen at Ace, Deuce and Grim and a small blast of magic was shot at them. Like with him, the boys' clothing faded away and were replaced by the snazzy uniforms.

Ace wore a white shirt, with a red diamond-patterned vest covering it. Over the vest, he wears the blazer pinned with the crest, red-stained rose and an ace of Hearts playing cards. He wears a black and yellow ribbon around his waist, and red and white high tops. He also wears white trousers.

Deuce wore a white shirt, with a black diamond-patterned vest covering it. Over the vest, he wears his blazer and has a 2 of Spades playing card on it. He wears a black and yellow ribbon around his waist, black and white high tops. He also wears white trousers.

Grim's ribbon vanished and was replaced with a shiny new bow with the Heartslabyul's colour scheme.

"Oooh...!" Deuce exclaimed as he looked down at his new uniform. "Ooooh...! I'm hot stuff!" Ace said as he checks himself out. Grim tug at his new bow and smiled happily at it, throwing a paw into the air. "Nyaha! I look good!" He cheered. "Wow! You all look great!" I said, "Don't think I forget about you, Andie-chan~!" Cater said as he points his magic pen at me, and in a white flash, my clothes fade away and is replaced with a female version of their dorm uniforms, with my hair up into a high ponytail with spade, heart, clover and diamond hairpins on the right side of my hair,

"Whoa! Check me out!" I said happily as I did a little twirl, before looking up to see Ace and Deuce staring at me in awe as Cater was taking several pictures with a grin on his face. "Thanks, Cater!" "You're welcome, Andie-chan! And you look so cute in that outfit~!" Cater said and I felt a light pink blush appear on my cheeks. "Heh, thanks." I said as I rub the back of my head, feeling embarrassed. I'm still not used to compliments from him. Cater then turned to Ace and said, "Don't forget to give Riddle the chestnut tart. Let's go party!" We followed Cater into the Tea Garden. We took our seats, a few tables away from Riddle and for the most part, it was a great party. Everyone was talking and some were letting out a few laughs here and there.

3rd Person's POV:
Unknown to the group, Riddle noticed them, mostly directly towards Andie. Seeing the platinum blonde girl wearing a female version of their dorm's attire, he couldn't help but blush. "She looks so cute!" Realizing what he just thought, he quickly shook these thoughts aside, feeling more frustrated and a little bit confused.

Andrea's POV:
After a while, Riddle rose from his throne and gathered everyone's attention. "Before the croquet match, a toast. You all vave your teacups? Today is nobody's birthday, so to this Unbirthday Party! Cheers!" "Cheers!" Everyone shouting in glee, though some sounded like they forced it, as they raised their teacups and clanked their teacups against the nearest person's. Cater smiles at Ace and tells him. "Ace-chan, isn't now your chance?" He points in the direction where Trey and several other students were bringing in carts, no doubt holding the marron tarts they had baked the previous night.

Ace took a deep breath and stood up from his seat, he walked towards his dorm leader, albeit a little nervously, but he kept a strong front. "Alright... Dorm Leader." Ace said, cautiously approaching him. Riddle sipped his tea as he opens an eye to view the red-eyed boy. He lowered his cup and gave a stern stare at him. "You are... Ah, the freshman tart thief." He stated, in a rather cool tone. "Umm, I would like to apologize for eating the tart before. So, I baked a new one." Ace said. He went to one of the carts and picked up a silver platter with a top. Placing it in front of Riddle. Riddle raised a brow with interest as he stared at it. "Hm? I'm curious, what kind of tart?" He asked. "Thank you for asking! It's a chestnut tart stuffed to the brim with fresh chestnuts!" Ace proudly says, removing the top and revealing the delicious-looking Mont Blanc before Riddle. Smiling brightly as he showed off his dessert. Finally! He did it! He presented his tart to him and now, all he has to do it apologies to him, and he can finally get stupid collar off of hi-.

"A chestnut tart!? I can't believe this!" Riddle shouted in anger. Staring at the tart with shock and in disgust, backing away a bit from it. "Huuh?!" Ace shouted. What the fuck?! I stare at the scene in shock. Why was Riddle acting like this?! He baked and brought him a new tart just as he was told to do! Did Trey set him up or something?! Riddle glared at Ace and crossed his arms. "Laws of the Queen of Hearts: Number 562: "One must never bring a chestnut tart to an Unbirthday Party." You've violated an imperative rule! How could you do something like this!?" He shouted, raising up to his feet. "The Unbirthday Party is utterly ruined!" "N-Number 562?!" Deuce asked, shocked at what he was hearing as he and I rose up their feet. Both of us were completely baffled of what was going on. There was a rule that forbids those from bringing a Mont Blanc, and it was rule #562?! How the hell are we supposed to know that?! We're only first years for God's sake!

"562 rules?! What the hell! Did he memorized all of them?!" I thought, "Hold on! Just how many rules does this dorm even have?!" I asked, Riddle looked at me as he crosses his arms and said, "There are 810. I have every single one memorized. I am the dorm leader after all." 810?! There is no hell way anyone can memorized 810 rules! "Oh no, we're so screwed... Trey, did you know?" Cater timorously whispered over to Trey, who was equally fearful at this turned of events. "I've only committed 360 to memory. We let our guard down. To think there's rules about the kind of tart..." Trey whispered back. Riddle's cold silver eyes glared daggers at Ace. "As the dorm leader of Heartslabyul, out of respect to the strictness of the Queen of Hearts. I can't close my eyes to this matter." He spoke. His face then contorted in anger and slammed his hands against the table. "Dispose of this chestnut tart immediately! And throw these rule breakers out!" He shouted as he knocked the chestnut tart, as well as everything else in range away from him. Sending the dessert splattering on the grass and sending the plates and teacups crashing.
