Prowl sighed as he walked down the streets of his hometown. Being the sole "rabbit" in town was annoying, but having to get married to someone he didn't like was even worse. He just wanted today to be over with. When he reached the door of his small "hutch" near the farms, he saw a note taped to the door. Pulling it off, he quickly scanned it.
Hello Sir or Madam Rabbit,
You are invited to come to the city of Sacrio to talk about joining the guild known as Wonderland! Know that we have talked to many others and feel that you are the best choice for our empty position. We will be expecting you a 2:00 sharp. See you in time for tea!
Cheshire.
Blinking for a minute, Prowl put aside any fears and went inside to pack. Leave town and join one of the most mysterious guilds in the world? Who wouldn't take that offer? Grabbing his stuff, he set out for the city, and little did he know it, but the oddest guild in the world. The most insane ride of his life had now started.
A few days later, Prowl made it to Sacrio. The city scared him a bit, but he wasn't about to let that stop him from getting to the guild before two. He looked down at his watch, only to see that he had ten minutes left before he would be late. Turning the corner fast, he bumped into a man wearing a white suit.
"You late too, man?" Prowl glanced up to notice the darker skinned "rabbit" smiling at him. He nodded and then stood up. "I'm headed to my place for tea, where you goin'?"
"The guild known as Wonderland…" Prowl noticed that the other broke out into a grin before grabbing his arm and saying "We're late, we're late, for one VERY important date" as they ran to and then through the guild doors.
"You're late, Rabbit." Prowl stared at the table that was set up. In the middle was a young man in blue, and on either side of him were two older men. One was dressed in pure white, and the other wore red and black. Behind them were three men; one in white, two in red and black. There was an albino man at the far end, near a young girl in all black to match the cat ears on her head, and down near the other end were two males dressed inversely of each other and a young boy in a large hat. There was a young man with green hair who was sound asleep, and next to him, and empty chair. There were two to other empty chairs; one between the boy in blue and the man in red, and the other near the young girl in black. The man in red was the one who had spoken.
"Sorry 'bout that, Red, but I found the newbie." The man's red eyes narrowed at the obvious nickname, and the man called "Rabbit" flinched a bit before the girl spoke up.
"Oh, dear Red Queen, leave your poor messenger alone. If we lose another, we won't have any good tea left." She gave her saddest look to the "Red Queen", who glared back at her. The man relented, only because arguing with Cheshire got you nowhere. It was like arguing with the twins… "Well, Rabbit, do take your seat. If you're not sitting, we can't have tea."
The other "rabbit" let go of Prowl's arm and walked over to the table, before bowing slightly and jumping over it and into the chair between the young and the old. Prowl soon felt all eyes on him and he stepped forward just a bit, which was enough for the doors to close. The girl grinned.
"You must be Prowl… I see you've already met our White Rabbit… Jazz, drink the tea properly or you won't get any more." Jazz quickly stopped slurping his drink and put the cup down. "Sorry…" she said as she walked around the table. "I'm Cheshire, but if you want to, you can just call me Cat. Easier to remember."
Prowl blinked before nodding. "Not a lot to say… Well, shock does that. You'll get over it, but first we need to check something…" she soon was looking him up and down before pulling his loose hair into a ponytail at the nape of his neck. "Perfect. All in favor of our new March Hare?"
Surprisingly, all the members of the table rose their hands except for one. "Silly Dormouse… He's always asleep. Your seat's right between him and Hatter! Oh, and Prowl…" She turned to look at him before they sat down in their proper seats. "Welcome to Wonderland!"
