I've had a recent addiction to Heart no Kuni no Alice that hasn't gone away in about… six months? I just now got a story idea for it though -.-'… Anyways, here goes my attempt at making a 'good' OC story...

I looked up from my sketch book to stare at my friend who was staring at me pleadingly, trying not to laugh in her face from her request. "You want me to… what?" I asked with amusement clear in my tone of voice as I kept my face carefully blank.

"Pretty please, Kat?" she begged, trying very hard to make her face puppy doggish. "Just this once, I won't ask you to do it again." She promised, holding out the package that contained what she wanted me to do.

"What is it for, exactly?" I asked, holding my hand out for the package. I pawed through the clothes, checking what it was. I raised my eyebrow at the overabundance of purple, pink, and punk.

"Well, this convention is coming soon and I already have someone to dress like the Hatter, Alice, and the White rabbit." She looked at me pleadingly still. "I just need someone to dress as the cat."

I sighed before noticing the missing part. "What about the Queen?" I asked as she grinned and pointed with her right thumb towards herself much like one of her anime characters. "Why is it all punk? Isn't the Cheshire cat all fat and pudgy?" I asked, thinking of the Disney version of the story. She pouted.

"Well, I thought that you wouldn't want to wear anything else besides punk since that's your style." She pointed towards my outfit. I glanced down and rolled my eyes. I was wearing, yet again, my favorite outfit of a blank black shirt that was slightly cut off and had a bunch of rips and tears across it with the long sleeves just barely hanging onto the shirt itself in an anime style, the strips of cloth looking as if they needed to be fixed. My collar was snug against my neck as the chains clicked against each other when I moved to stand up, holding my sketch book carefully in my left hand that was adorned with a fingerless fishnet glove to match the one on my right hand. The loose red checkered skit swished around the black leggings that went halfway down my calf. The boots that I wore were self-decorated, originally a pair of designer boots that I was given in the attempt to make me 'normal' from my grandma, and had chains pinned across and around them in a neat but messy way. "I thought it'd be more comfortable for you." I pulled out the pink ears and raised my eyebrow yet again at the piercings. She blushed and rubbed the back of her head. "I thought it would look cute. You can take them out if you don't like them." I did just that and placed the ears on top of my head, making them blend in with my pink hair. No, it was not natural, and I was planning on dying it red soon. That was the original plan but it turned out pink. "Yay! I got the shade right!" I sighed as Bri started cheering and congratulating herself.

I smiled slightly before putting the ears and the piercings back in the bag. "So, who's all going?"

"Well, the Hatter is Kene, of course, Alice is Hera, Whitey is Brittany, and I'm the Queen. If you didn't dye your hair so much I'd ask you to be the rabbit." She sighed as I could literally feel her depressed aura. I glared at her slightly out of the corner of my eyes before sighing and picking my things up, walking back towards the school. St. Catherine's. Stupid parents and their 'worry' for me. They really couldn't care less about me and sent me here to get rid of me, just so they could go back to their life style before I was born. I rolled my eyes as the teachers glared at me and my 'misconduct'. Just because I refused to be a goody two shoes and wear the uniform. But me being a friend of the Headmaster's daughter stopped them from saying anything. I plopped down in my seat, early for class. At least I was always on time. I hated being even a second late, even if there was a reason, along with others being late annoyed me. Didn't mean I didn't leave early. I yawned as they started a lesson about the history of Christians that I couldn't give less than a damn about. I started dozing off and started dreaming about a strange place filled with clocks when I heard three different voices speaking from around me.

"Hey, did you know? Every game has rules." The first voice said, sounding as if he was right next to my ear.

"Rules that are meant to be broken." A higher pitched but still obviously male voice came from the other side.

"There are rules for those who don't play the game, as well. I await your participation. You can't refuse." The two voices said in complete unison. I blinked my eyes as the classroom came into focus and the bell rang for the end of class.

I lifted my head with the fading words, from a different male voice, whispered through my ears as I stood up. "So… let the game begin."

Yes, I realize that this chapter is very short so I promise to make a longer chapter next… I hope this doesn't make anyone mad that I am cutting off right here.

Kene is pronounced Keen, Hera like the Greek goddess of marriage, Bri is short for Brianna, and Brittany is Brit an nee. Kat is indeed pronounced like the animal. The Cat outfit is not like Boris's for those of you that were imagining that it was like that. Sorry.

Hoping no one will be mad at me
