A/N: another winter "wonderland" fun...


Tohma looked at himself trying on the tie. He pulled it this way and that making a face that would make his mother cry.

"And why precisely was I nominated for this role.." He said on a sigh.

"Because the role of the Cheshire cat was already taken." Mika replied.

"This role doesn't suit me at all…" He grumbled.

"Well, he's equally mad and doesn't make sense…Plus I've always wanted to see you in rabbit ears."

"Yes, but I am cunning…the March Hare is just crazy."

"And your not?"

"At least you weren't given the role of the caterpillar."

"That's been given to Suguru."

"So…who is the cat."

"Ta da!" The vocalist for Bad Luck burst through the door, flashing his tail. He pirueted in place to show off his magnificant costume. Or should I say NYAH! I love my ears and my paw and..."

He went on and Tohma and Mika tuned him out.

"Shuichi? I thought he'd be more suited to…"

"The mouse?"

"Or the white rabbit."

"That was given to Ryuichi." He tried to fix his ears. "Nakano-san has been given the privilege of the Mad Hatter."

"And Alice…."

"Ryu-chan!" The keyboardist burst in. "Is Ryu in here?"

"I haven't seen him." Shuichi said from his place on the couch.

"Damn…I'm trying to find him—and to complain about my costume." She glared at him. "Tohma, you have a lot of nerve! Why do I have to be Alice?"

"Simple. You're the only female."

She stormed off to look for Ryuichi.

"Does that answer your question, Mika dearest?"

She shrugged her shoulder and began to fix the hare ears. Then she moved to the front and loosened the tie a bit.

"What made you agree to put on this production?"

"Musicians not only should calculate how to boost ratings but they should advertise in different forms. They earn status when they do pro bono things like this."

"No one knows how to act, Tohma."

"That doesn't matter." He smiled. "Plus you'll never guess who I got to play the Queen of Hearts."

"Judy Winchester?"

"Even better…."

"Damn it, Seguchi!" Yuki roared leaving a wide-eyed Shuichi to cower in the corner.

He stomped forward dressed in a floor length gown dotted with hearts all over it, the black wig accenting his golden eyes. Lips outlined with a very vivid red lipstick and eyelashes long and black. He made a very lovely queen.

"Why, Eiri-san, you look splendid! I do believe red is your color."

"I do believe you no longer want to live. I'm about to have rabbit for dinner."


A/N: THE END. YES I love the ending..
