Episode 1-16: An Unbirthday Gone Wrong
Once they arrived at the Heartslabyul dormitory, everyone heads straight to the front entrance.
"I'm gonna get the tart to the dorm leader and apologize..." Ace told them until...
"Yooo! You're here. I've been waiting for me!"
"What the-?!" Glory widen her eyes when she sees a cop-out of Cater.
"I'm back, sorry for the wait, me." The original Cater said causing her to turn her head..
"Huh?!" Glory shrills when she sees two Caters. Even her friends are freaking out.
"There are two Diamonds?!" Deuce yells.
"You have a twin?!" Ace shouts.
"Nope, I'm the only brother. This is my unique magic, "Split Card". I can use magic to make clones of myself." Cater explains.
"Ohhhh so doppelgängers. Gotcha." Glory finally understood giving him a thumbs up.
"So this is why we couldn't beat no matter how many times we took you down..." Deuce mutters while shaking his head.
"Welcome, Glo-chan!"
"Hm? Oh god!" Glory flinch when she saw three Caters to her left now.
"I've had it rough! You guys are so late." The third doppelgänger complains.
"Waaah! There's more!" Ace shrieks.
"By the way, I'm the real Cater." He told them.
"What?" Glory stood blankly when he said that.
"Yup! The more copies I make, the harder it gets and I can't keep it up for a long time..." He explains.
"This is gonna be a confusing day..." Glory mumbles while sweat dropping the whole doppelgänger situation.
"Anyway, it's off with our heads if we're late. I don't have enough hands so lend me yours. I'll take you right to Riddle once we're done." Cater said.
"More painting roses red?" Grim asks with an annoyed look.
"You're really full of yourself!" Ace whines.
"Let's get started!" Cater instructs as Glory let's out a sigh.
"Well, it's now or never. Come on guys, let's get painting." Glory told her friends.
"Fine..." They grumble as they all start painting roses once again.
——————————
An hour has passed and all of them manage to paint the roses completely red.
"Huff huff...We did a lot better than yesterday!" Deuce pants.
"You did well!" Cater marvel.
"Kyaaah!" Soon they all heard a screech when they turn to see Glory scampering away and folds her arms quivering while panting silently. Confused, the boys went over to check up their ravenette friend.
"What the hell's going on here!?" Grim shrills.
"Ok prefect!?" Ace asks with a concern look.
"What's wrong Glory-san!?" Deuce asks with a panic look.
"Small...black...eight legged creatures...GAAAAAH!" Glory stammers as she kept shivering.
"Eh?"
The boys turn to the right where they see a black spider crawling up to the pail. Cater blinks his eyes and chuckles as he walks over to the pail and flicks the spider off like it's no big deal sending shivers down to Glory's spine. The spider then scurries away leaving Glory shivering, who is clinging on to Deuce. Cater then turns to the group flashing them with a bright grin.
"All gone!" Cater cheers and walks back to the group.
"Ughhh I HATE SPIDERS! THEY'RE SO CREEPY!!!" She shrieks while clinging on to Deuce. Cater chortles and pats her head.
"No worries Glo-chan, Cater-senpai is here to save you!" He remarks flashing her with a wink and Glory giggles softly.
"Jeez, but thanks for getting rid of that spider." Glory thank him and he grins widely.
"No problem Glo-chan!" He grins and checks his phone with his eyes widen.
"Oops! It's almost time! Well done mes!" Cater chirps.
"Aye aye sir~" The three Cater clones salute. Glory sweat drops at the whole Cater clones thing.
I feel like I need to get use to Cay's unique ability....
Glory thought.
————————
Once they're done with the roses, everyone went to the tea garden where the Unbirthday party takes place. Glory sits down with Deuce, Grim, and Ace where they're completely on edge of seeing their dorm leader.
"Jeez, I'm so nervous...." Ace mumbles.
"Same here..." Deuce mutters.
"Me as well, but just relax and be patient guys. I'm sure he's going to be here any minute and remember that apology tart you made yesterday, Ace." She reminds him.
"Yeah, yeah, I know." Ace replies.
"Though there's one problem...."
They all sweat drop when they felt the air of unwelcomeness when everyone in this party keeps their distance from the group while most of them are wary; mostly because of Glory.
"Don't you think these guys are overreacting much?" Deuce asks feeling uncomfortable with the stares.
"You and me both." Ace agrees.
"Jeez, they're still idiots aren't they?" Grim grumbles.
"Idiots will always be idiots, but someday they'll get use with my presence around here." Glory reassures them while unsurprised by the attention she's receiving. Soon the trumpets blurs out through the party where they all turn their heads to see a Heartslabyul resident clearing his throat.
"Announcing our great leader! The Crimson Ruler! Dorm Leader Riddle!" The Heartslabyul announcer declares.
"Dorm Leader Riddle, hip hip hurray!" All Heartslabyul residents cheers as they saw Riddle and Trey strolling through the gardens. If there's one thing that Glory couldn't deny, it's his attire. It reminds her of the Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland and small golden crown on the right side of his head adds a great touch to his style. She has to admit: he looks adorable with it.
***Honestly, how do you not find this cute lil Queen adorable?😍^****
While smiling at Riddle's Heartslabyul outfit, Riddle spun his head and widen his eyes when he notices Glory in her dress. As their eyes lock, Riddle was surprise yet a bit smitten with the newly alluring Gloriane. The gorgeous ravenette notice him staring at her where she smiles coyly and waves at him causing him to blink his eyes, but clears his throat to get himself back on track.
"Hmm. The roses are red, the tablecloths are white. A perfect Unbirthday Party." He nods with approval and turns to Trey.
"You made sure there is a mouse asleep in the teapot, correct?" He asks curiously.
"Of course. The jam to put its nose at right time is also ready." Trey informs.
"Wonderful." Riddle replies.
"Fuwah! Look at their outfits! They look so cool!" Grim chirps with his face filled with awe making Glory grin in agreement.
Same here Grim, same here.
Glory thought while smiling at Grim before glancing back at Riddle, but soon she heard Cater chuckling.
"Heh heeh! It's so cool, the Heartslabyul dorm attire! The style is on point and makes for great Magicame! Which means it's time for me to change." Cater explains as a poof booms out of the blue where his attire changes into his Heartslabyul one.
"Whoa...nice quick change!" Glory compliments.
"Heh thanks! The Law of the Queen of Hearts also states we have to dress formally on party days. Though you're the exception because you're already look formal and cute!" Cater compliments making her giggle.
"Jeez..."
"I mean it! You really do look cute Glo-chan! Embrace it!" He reassures making her giggle once more but nods.
"Ok, ok, I'll take your advice Cay." Glory replies while smiling.
"Hehe. Also as special service I'll get you two coordinated too." Cater then use his pen to change Deuce and Ace's attire.
"Oooh!" Deuce gasps.
"Oooh! I'm hot stuff!" Ace exclaims and turns to Glory with a smug look.
"Well supervisor? How do I look?~" Ace teases and Glory rolls her eyes while shaking her head at his teasing.
"I would give it a 5 out of 10 stars." Glory remarks making his jaw drop causing Deuce to chuckle and Cater to laugh at her playful remark. Ace frowns when she says this.
"Come on! How do you not look at me and say 'hottest guy in the planet'?" He asks with a pout. Glory shrugs while grinning like an innocent angel.
"I don't know, maybe you should be like Cay-kun~" She jokes shifting her eye to Cater where give him a wink and he laughs.
"Dawww you shouldn't have." Cater playfully cooed with Glory giggling. Ace huffs and turns his head.
"Nyaha! I look good!" Grim chirps while admiring his own attire. Glory giggles.
"Clothes make the man, they say." Glory remarks.
"Don't forget to give Riddle the Mont Blanc. Let's go party!" Cater cheers and everyone hurrays.
—————————
"Before the croquet match, a toast. You all have your teacups?" Riddle asks curiously.
"Today is nobody's birthday, so to this Unbirthday Party! Cheers!" He cheers.
"Cheers!" Everyone hurrays and everyone took their sip of their tea.
"Ace, isn't now your chance?" Cater asks.
"Oh yeah, you should go do that now if you want to have that collar off of ya!" Glory reminds him.
"Alright..." Ace then gets up from the chair and approaches the dorm leader with the others following his trail.
"Excuse me, dorm leader." Ace then forms a smile.
"You are...Ah, the freshman tart thief." He acknowledges.
"Umm, I would like to apologize for eating the tart before. So I baked a new one." Ace told him.
"Hmmm? I'm curious, what kind of tart?" Riddle asks curiously.
"Thank you for asking! It is a Mont Blanc stuffed to the brim with fresh chestnuts!" He exclaims.
"A Mont Blanc!? I can't believe this!" Riddle gasps as he stands up from his seat with a shock expression causing Glory and her friends to look baffle by his reaction.
"Hm?" Glory blinks in confusion.
"Huuuh!?" Ace shrieks in shock as well.
"Laws of the Queen of Hearts, No. 562. 'One must never bring a Mont Blanc to an Unbirthday Party.'" Riddle informs stunning Glory and her friends as she turns to Cater with disbelief.
"Cay! You never told us about this!" Glory whispers with a panicked look.
"We didn't know! We're sorry Glo-chan!" Cater whispers back.
Now anxious, Glory turns back to Ace who looks confused yet frighten as the reddish brunette dorm leader shoots him with a scowl.
"You've violated an imperative rule! How could you do something like this!? The Unbirthday Party is utterly ruined!" Riddle bellows.
"N-No. 562!?" Deuce shrieks. Not wanting this party to turn sour, Glory went out of her way and stood between Ace and Riddle.
"Glory!" Her friends shrills, but Glory wouldn't budge and gets in between Ace and Riddle's quarrel.
"Your majesty, we apologize for the inconvenience! We didn't know it was part of the rules, so please give him another chance!" Glory pleads to him, but he won't listen and kept glaring at Ace.
"That won't be tolerable since YOU, Ace Trappola, violated No. 562 from the Queen of Hearts herself!" Riddle retaliates.
"Seriously? Just how many rules are there in this damn dorm?!" Glory rants.
"There are 810. I have every single one memorized. I am the dorm leader after all." He informs. Disbelief, Glory turns back to Cater and Trey where they scratch their head and neck with worried looks.
"Oh no, we're screwed." Cater mutters.
"Trey, did you know?" Glory asks curiously with a feared look.
"I've only committed 350 to memory. We let our guards down. To think there's rules about the kind of tart...." Trey mumbles while mentally scolding himself for not memorizing the Heartslabyul rules better.
"As dorm leader of Heartslabyul, out of respect to the strictness of the Queen of Hearts, I can't close my eyes to this matter. Dispose of this Mont Blanc immediately and throw these rule breakers out!" Riddle orders.
"WHAT!?" They all screamed with disbelief.
