Beautiful , that word was hard to understand even now its been a long while since she was told she was beautiful. The best part it was coming from Alice, which of course had Jessie's cheeks as pink as her hair.As she sat she listened carefully for Alices next response, the invite to one day live with Jessie was quite a lot to take she was sure of it .
Not expecting the answer to be yes what Alice said came almost as a total shock. Though soon Jessie was grinning. " sounds perfect. "
Ah but there was one last thing...one last memory to deal with...Shed have to go back once more. Jessie wondered for a moment then spoke. " Alice ..you showed me a glimpse into your world once...and I know today has been extremely emotional... But I want you to see a bit of my home...my past. Come to America with me. After all a fare well party with one person seems rather sad"
Chuckling to her self she was left to wait for yet another answer.

Had the spider glanced up from her reflection, she would have smirked at the sight of the blush coloring Jessie's cheeks. She liked making the girl blush; it was a familiar reaction and it never failed to amuse her. Jessie seemed to be in shock at first from the widow's answer. It was expected, though. The topic at hand was a rather determining one.
Alice's ghostly gaze disconnected briefly from the mirror-like surface of the water from the fountain at the following words. Go with her to America. A journey into a portion of Jessie's past. It was only fair, she supposed; an exchange; be it of two polar opposite worlds. Yes, the widow had invited Jessie into her world one time; her past - where she first spun her experimental first threads and lived. Well, rather, her parents had as they had had the wish to meet their daughter's dance partner for in-school practice. What was Jessie's world like? Would it be dark? Or perhaps, happy? Alice wondered and finally removed the frosted light of her icy orbs from the water, bringing the glistening gaze up to look at the pink haired girl.
"Alright, Jessie." The spider agreed, offering a graceful, subtle nod of her head. Ribbons of snow white hair fluttered slightly at the action, and the movement, though slight, made the bell ring ever so quietly. How would that go? What would it be like? She supposed only time would tell. Whatever happened, she would support the girl. The girl that braved the spider's ensnaring web and bitter fangs, earned her trust, and above all, managed to thaw and capture her sinful iced heart.

Jessie nodded to the reply. So Alice had agreed some how this made Jessie very happy. Ah that right she needed to let Alice know when this trip would be...Jessie hopped that this wasn't to much for the iced figure. After all Jessie herself was over whelmed happy but over whelmed. Yet Jessie had already brought it all up and in return got a response. " I was planning to leave in a couple of weeks .. Once the paper work handing over my families money to me is finished. That way i can go get my things and sell the house..."
The idea of selling the home still bothered her slightly but the idea of living with Alice in the future was worth it. At least at this time it over joyed her. Besides with Alice coming with her to America shed be able to show the girl a bit of her past and have support threw the harder times. Yes even over whelmed Jessie was happy to have Alice, and them connecting as they have today made it far better.
Jessie looked at the white haired girl. " we won't be gone for long a few days to a week at most, that is unless would like to be there linger but i know school won't wait "

Alice gave a nod to Jessie's words, wondering how the girl felt about all that though. She was sure it was hard for Jessie. Overwhelming, perhaps, too. Even if the place were to hold negative memories, if that was the case even, a home was still a home regardless - even in cases where a home was labeled as a level of hell. Surely the pink haired girl must be a little troubled by the whole thing. If that was the case - and even if it wasn't - Alice resolved that she would try and be the best company she could during the excursion.
The widow wasn't too adept in English though; she could read it and knew most of all the words, but her accent would severely butcher a lot of words. It helped that she knew French, for she would switch more to that accent when speaking foreign words or names such as Jessie's, but that came with the same struggle in itself. And if she thought too much of a word and how it sounded, her Spoonerisms would become more frequent, although not intentional at the slightest. It was in awkward times like that that the graceful widow would be thankful for own experience in improvisation and teachings in elegance and poise. Ah well, she would try her best for Jessie. Just as Jessie did for her in their dancing.
"Are you sure you are okay with all of this though, Jessie?" She asked softly, flickering her icy eyes up through the snowy lashes to look at her, a faint worried look melting through her icy mask.

' you sure you are okay with all of this though, Jessie?'
Was she ? Jessie's Mixed eyes seem to dim as she got lost in thought, she never seemed to look so serious or was the better word lost ? It seemed as if rolls where switched between the two girls , was Jessie had Jessie just froze over ? For a moment at least it seemed true. As thoughts raced and battled; hands gripping her uniform skirt. Till now no one had really asked her that, not really at least. Sure there where words of concern but never a question not truly.
Was Jessie decision really the right one?
- Flash back -
A woman in a black suit sat across from her as a stack of paper made a thump against a metal table giving the sound a slight clank tone to it. " Jessica let me speak fran-"
"Jessie...its..jessie..."
The pink haired girl sat not fully looking at the suited individual infront of her. Though she had her freedom from her father now...the boyish name had stuck, besides she liked how it sounded from a certain snow white haired girl.
" ah yes sorry. Jessie.. By you going up on stand to finally tell the court your side of the events of your mothers d-passing. ......."
The woman continued to speak but it soon faided. Jessie thought of her mother and even her father. There had been good times but now those to had been muddled in mist she still couldn't really grasp what happened that day after all she really didn't see what happened...it was simply that their was to many puzzle pieces that fit.
" Jessie ? Jessie "
Looking up she blinked. " uh oh yes sorry ..."
The lawyer sighed " its okay.. All I was saying is your still under the legal age to be on your own you have to options...stay at Le Rim or go into a foster home..."
That was easy " Le Rim . I am moving to Japan and thats final. I will never came back I meant it when I said the same thing to my father. "
- end -
Yet did she mean it ? Did she really want to give up the world she once knew ? Did she want to give up her mothers world ? Finally blinking her eyes seemed to go back to normal as she looked at her hands then at the hands of the iced figure reaching out still not brave enough to look the other girl in the eye she grasped the girls hand . " No...but with you with me I know I won't fall either. "

Jessie seemed conflicted. Perhaps uncertain was the correct term. Jessie had quite a lot to deal with here. This decision was not a light one. Especially under the circumstances. The pink haired girl had appeared to have spaced out; frosted over, perhaps, just as the spider did so often. What kind of conflict was warring in that mind? Alice could only wonder, and for fraction of a moment, it made her feel slightly helpless. Helpless in the sense that she could do nothing to aid the girl at the moment.
Finally a hand took up a snowy one. There was no glance at the iced eyes. Although the ice of her guard was still present, Alice did not flinch like usual out of aversion to the contact. Instead, she gradually moved her other hand and placed it atop Jessie's warmer one in a comforting way. So Jessie was doubting her certainty of the idea. Alice somewhat expected that; it was a pretty difficult decision after all.
"You are very brave just to even consider the idea, my dear." She spoke softly, hoping to soothe her a little. "I promise I will be there every step of the way with you... And remember, it is never wrong to change your mind."
That's it. Alice would be the best company and support she could for Jessie. Even if the pink haired girl decided to change her mind in the end, it was the girl's decision and the snowy widow would support whatever she decided in the end, regardless.
