"Alice? Alice Darling!" The bishounen catboy called out. His grin only got wider as she approached.

"What is it, Cheshire Puss?" She looked up at the humanoid teen.

"I was only wondering if you would like to join me and the hare for some tea! The Hatter, I'm afraid, cannot make it…but would you still care to join us?"

"Why wouldn't I?" Her response made him very relieved.

"Wonderful!! I shall tell the hare right away!" He purred.

And he was gone.

Alice stood there quite pleased with herself. "I promised myself I would spend less time with Hatter, and more time with Cheshire Puss, and the hare, and I have done so! How splendid!" She glanced up again at the place where the boy had just stood, then went on her merry way.
