A fairytale { Alyce }

[Deleted]

The stars shimmered and sparkled above Gotham, it was a warm clear night. Jervis figured that it was a most perfect evening for him to take Alyce to Gotham's " Story Book Land" and perhaps.. THIS TIME... his courtship would lead to something, wonderful. The last time he brought a girl to Story book Land... Miss Alice Pleasence.. it was heartbreaking. He stilled had such nightmares about that night... When Alice was swept away by her Fiance and he was stopped by Batman.

Shaking his head, he sighed heavily and then cleared his throat and waited by the front gate. He had called Alyce to come by, His heart fluttering in anxiety and hope that she's come. He was dressed in nicely pressed pants, his dark blue vest and Green button up shirt. As always he had his fine velvet gloves on his hands, it was partly due to his style and also his OCD.  He sighed , trying to calm himself as time ticked by, Seconds feeling like years....

"Finally, a nice, warm evening!" Alyce said to herself as she exited the cab she'd taken to get to the Storybook Land theme park. She payed the driver and sent him on his way.

She could have just free-ran her way there, but then she might have caught her nice, blue and off-white flower-patterned peasant skirt on something and torn it, or gotten herself dirty. That wouldn't do, since this was supposed to be a date, even though Jervis hadn't offered to pick her up for it. Still, Alyce had a feeling that her outing with Jervis was supposed to mean a little bit more than just friendship. Especially to him.

Looking around, she easily spotted Jervis wearing a pair of dress pants, a blue vest, a light green button up shirt, and a pair of white gloves on his hands. Suddenly, she was glad that she'd decided to wear what she'd chosen to wear. Along with the lovely blue and off-white flower-patterned peasant skirt that went down to the middle of her calves, she wore an off-white peasant blouse, and a pair of brown, kitten-heeled, pointed boots. Alyce was also wearing a pair of small silver hoop earrings in her ears, and a couple of silver bangle bracelets around her wrists. Around her neck, she wore a Native American choker made of brown and ivory-colored horn beads, silver spacers, and had a silver and turquoise medallion placed in the center of it. She hadn't done anything with her mid-back length brunette-auburn hair except give it a good brushing.

"Hi, Jervis!" she greeted with a beaming smile and wrapping her arms around him in a friendly hug. "You look good!"

It wasn't a lie. Alyce thought that he was rather good-looking in his current attire. She liked a man in a suit, or half-suit. It was sexy to her.

"So..." she went on, blushing and pulling away from him after a long moment so as not to make either of them start to feel uncomfortable. "We're both here. Um...I guess we should get our tickets and head on in? I'm kind of excited! I've never been here before, which is hard to believe. I love fairy-tales and such!"

She bounced on the balls of her feet a little as she said this. Her smile reached her hazel-green eyes, which were clearly showing her enthusiasm for the place Jervis had chosen.

He smiled warmly as he hugged Alyce, she looked so lovely. Jervis titled his head slightly and inhaled her sweet perfume sent before he took her hand and nodded, I already have the tickets... Was just waiting for you..."

There was a short line, mostly young couples seeking some fun romance. The park was glimmering with lights, making it not only enchanting, but perhaps it felt a world away from the Gotham and its troubles. Jervis held Alyce's hand as they strolled down the pathway, passing by Puss in boots, The seven dwarves hut and pond where the princess met the frog.

Alyce noticed that Jervis inhaled the sweet flowery scent of the perfume she was wearing, and blushed heavily. He didn't smell bad himself, having the aroma of tea and spices about him.

"Oh, okay, cool. At least we won't have to wait to buy our tickets," she said once he told her that he'd basically thought ahead and got the tickets sometime earlier.

When they entered the park, Jervis took hold of her hand. This startled her a little, to say the least, but she didn't grimace or retract. If anything, this action of his made Alyce's heart begin to race a little with excitement. She glanced sideways at him with a bit of a dumb grin (in her opinion) on her face as they passed by a display for Puss in Boots. Jervis was being just as quiet as he had been in the cafe earlier that day.

In a way, his silence was kind of beginning to calm her a little. She was used to hanging around people like Jacob or Rowdy Yates, who were a bit loud and obnoxious at times. It was nice to be around someone who was quiet and to themselves for a change. After they passed a little pond representing the Frog Princess fairytale, Alyce looked up ahead and saw a rather large area that was kind of separated from the rest of the displays and play areas.

Seeing the sign, she smirked a little and looked at Jervis before saying to him almost nonchalantly, "If they have large mushrooms in there, I want to sit on one. I've always wanted to do that!"

[Deleted]

"You are in for a treat then my dear.." He said charming as he lead her towards 'Alice's Wonderland '. Jervis bowed as they stood in the gateway to their destination, he then smiled wide as he spoke," Will you.. won't you.. Will you... Won't you... Won't you join me?"

The night seemed to align with them, Truly they were in Wonderland. Tall mushrooms, giant flowers and flickering lights that mimicked fireflies soon surrounded them as they entered. Jervis felt his heart fly as he gazed around with Alyce by his side.

[Deleted]

"Oh, awesome!" she replied enthusiastically, grinning broadly as Jervis answered her. "And of course I'll join you! This will be fun!"

Alyce was glad that he was beginning to open up her more, allowing her to see a bit more of his true self shine through. As they entered, she truly felt like she'd stepped inside of her favorite storybook. It was quite beautiful. Spotting a rather tall mushroom that she couldn't just simply hop up onto, she gave a little mischievous grin before suddenly running towards its stem.

As she reached the mushroom's base, her right foot touched the stem, and she continued to run up it! Nearing the cap of the fake giant fungus, she pushed out with her left foot and grabbed the edge. With a quick swing, she easily pulled herself up and onto the cap of the twelve-foot tall mushroom. Sitting down cross-legged, her skirt somewhat fanned out around her, she smiled once again at Jervis and patted the spot next to her.

"Care to join me up here, Jervis?" she asked him playfully.

Alyce knew that he probably wouldn't be able to get up there like she had (most people couldn't), but you never know. If he couldn't, then maybe she could chance showing off her special ability to him and just help him up. She would have to wait and see.
