**A story mostly about the Cheshire Cat's POV (in third person) in American McGee's: Alice after Alice returns to her world an leaves Wonderland for a few years….

I don't own the characters!

Enjoy! ^_^

Chapter 1: Plan

Cat watched as Wonderland became colorful and gore less once more, the sky was once again light blue and the sun shinned with such intensity it almost made him vomit. Alice had grown and so had her madness, he was so used to her twisted world that the old one bored and disgusted him. He knew he couldn't bring Alice back, her mental state was controlled now and another breakdown could mean death to her and him. He frowned as he watched the decayed trees become green and the twisted characters become cheerful and non-murderous, soon, he would be consumed by the sane mind of Alice.

As he watched the change, an idea popped in his insane mind. His Alice could not return but that didn't mean he couldn't leave. The idea was so great that if he was sane he'd call himself mad. However, he knew that he alone wouldn't survive. He needed a new "Alice".

Cat vanished with his particular grin and re-appeared in Alice's deep subconscious. Her memories were all around the place and he could mess with any as he pleased but then, a particular image caught his attention. A memory of a childhood friend. A young girl, her hair was coal black, her skin was tan, and her eyes were dark brown almost black.

He grinned.

She wasn't mad but that didn't mean he couldn't do something about it. Her mind was a little twisted but not completely mad. All he had to do was absorb the memory from Alice and she's become his new Alice. He took his time to absorb the memory, it was sweet and innocent it almost made him feel guilty for stealing it from his dear Alice. Oh well.

The memory was his. He was now free to leave this mind. He gave a final look to the world Alice's mind was creating and vanished.

XXXX

Time was frozen for him. Seconds seemed like months and minutes seemed like years, but he was close to the girl's mind.

As he entered her mind, the bright light blinded him; it was a possible side effect from mind traveling. Once his eyes adjusted to the light, he opened his eyes and scanned the area. It was a green meadow, the sky was clouded, not a single bird in the sky and now happiness. He walked around the mind of the girl until he saw her sitting against a hollow tree.

He grinned and vanished.

The girl, oblivious to his presence continued to stare out into the open space in her mind. Cat appeared on the lower branch of the tree. His claws pierced deep into the wood as he sat in attack mode. He observed the girl and grinned.

"Good day, missy." He said in an ominous voice.

"Good day, sir." She replied indifferent.

He was utterly surprised to her reaction. Usually the strangers he approached and talked to were afraid to even reply at first. This girl has guts!

"How do you fare?" He asked.

"Well. Thank you for asking." She replied as she stood and turned to face him. Her dark eyes penetrated his golden eyes and made him shiver a little. They stared at each other as if intending to kill each other with their cold glares.

"I am Cheshire Cat. But most call me Cat."

"I'm Wave." She paused and eyed him, "You're quite a mangy cat… but your creepy human grin is comforting."

His eyes widen and he motioned his neck closer to the girl's face. She reminded him so much of his dear little Alice, how he missed her. "And you have quite an attitude." He stated.

Wave smiled.

"Curious and willing to learn, I hope?" he said.

"Curious, that I am. Willing to learn…. Depends on what you'll teach me."

He let out a sinister chuckle; Wave let a small shiver run down her spine. She had been holding it back since she first heard him talk. Cat noticed how the surrounding were turning dark and Wave was becoming fainter. "What's going on?" he asked.

"Morning is coming. I'm about to wake up."

"Ahh… to the real world, huh?"

"Yes."

Her mind had been the result of a dream. The reason he actually got to speak with her was because of her subconscious world. It meant she would soon be gone and he would be alone again. Or… would he? Another idea began to build in his head and it made him question his own insanity. Even though the idea was risky, he knew that if he fell he would return to her mind and wait until the sunset to see his new friend.

"Well, I'll be seeing you then." He told her.

"I guess…"

With that, she vanished and the world began to fall apart. Cat's grin grew wider as he put his plan into motion. He would appear to Wave in the real world, not only her dreamland. To him, that would be the beginning… the beginning on pure madness.
