QA-Something based off a story I'm working on. This is just a sort of drabble I thought the other night.
The Cheshire Cat is infamous for his grin, but what many people do not realize is that he has more then one grin.
Only some one who really knows the Cat well can recognize the difference in his grins, but there are not many such people alive. In fact, there are only two, any one else who says that they know is lieing.
One, of course, is the Duchess, who is, in fact, a mother figure of sorts to our Cat.
The other is Ali, his lover and, quite possibly the only one who has seen every one of his grins, for there are some he would never think to show the Duchess.
The grin he had when ever he saw Hatta, for example. This grin is not full of laughter or mirth, but rather hatred and a killer's glee. He would never let the Duchess see him thus, for he knows that it would frighten her to see that look on his face, where as Ali had seen it far to many times to be bothered by it.
Then there was also the grin that he only showed Ali when they were alone together, the one full of lust and passion, the one he saved just for her and her alone.
But, of the many grins the Cheshire Cat possesses, there is one that is so seldom seen, that it is, in fact, rarer to see then some one who has not angered the Queen at some point.
The grin I am talking about is the one that is not full of happiness, or laughter, but one full of sadness and fear.
It may seem odd that he would have such a grin, but then again, there is never a time that the Cat is not grinning.
It is a grin only seen thrice during Cheshire's long existence.
The first instance was when Duchess found him on her doorstep many eons ago, when he was no more then a kitten.
The second instance was many centuries later when he returned from one of his wanderings to find the Duchesses' house in flames, the Cook and Baby safe out side, but dearest Duchess trapped inside.
The third instance was for Ali, when he came to get her for the final time from her world, when he found her lieing in a puddle of her own blood.
The Cheshire Cat cried that night, the tears almost obscuring his famous grin.
It was the first time in his existence that he ever cried.
QA-Review, peeps, even if ya hate it.
