"Stupid chickie rabbit! He always gets us in trouble." Sighed Dee as he crossed his arms and pouted as a child would. "Yeah, if his head wasn't so far up the Boss' ass we could probably get away with anything," Dum sighed and copied his actions. They stood at their post after a long play of hooky but still complained. "It's not like people come here that often either!" Dee stated in an irritated tone. "When you say stuff like that…we haven't seen the lady in a while, I wonder what's she doing now," Dum thought aloud.

His brother suddenly got an idea and jumped up in realization of it causing his brother to look at him. "We should go visit her!" Dee exclaimed. "But what about Boss?" Dum questioned. His blue eyed twin waved dismissively at the thought, "We got to him first and say we'll bring her here for another party!" Dee thought it over and a smile crept to his face, "Yeah, let's do it!" They high fived each other and ran to tell the Hatter.

Meanwhile…

Elliot was a happy hare today. He didn't have any paperwork to do, he got the twins to go back to work, and now he was on his way to the kitchen to get his own carrot cake baked fresh from the oven. Everything was going his way! Just as he walked in he could smell the familiar carrot scent and his mouth almost watered as sniffed the air. The only down fall to it was that his precious cake was smushed under the bottom of a faceless maid who was giggling with a tint of red on the bridge of her nose. In between her legs was an extremely beautiful young girl wearing a white dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up to the elbows. Her brown hair that flowed down to her shoulders in slight waves, her lavender toned eyes full of potential mischief. She was holding a bottle of expensive looking wine bottle as she tried to give more to the rather tipsy maid.

"Come on, one more sip won't hurt you now will it?" she said in a smooth tone. She brought the bottle to her lips and drank a mouthful until swallowing it and pressing the tip of the bottle to the maid's lips as she downed the red liquid as well.

"MY CAKE!"

The faceless did a spit take as she looked at Elliot before wiping her mouth and muttering a quiet, "Sorry" and flying out of the kitchen. The brunette laughed softly and called after her saying, "You have sweets on your bum!" Her laughter soon died down but the small smile never left her face. "Sorry about the cake Elliot but you know," she swiped her finger in the orange colored icing and popped it in her mouth, "Dessert tastes better with either a good bottle or somebody to share it with."

Elliot growled and stomped over to her, yanking her by her arm, "Who are you and how'd you get in here?" Her eyes traveled up and down Eliot's body slowly and smirked, "I like your scarf, can I have it?" she asked. "No! And you still didn't answer my question either!" Elliot fumed. She shrugged her shoulders, "I woke up here in the mansion naked, that's all I can pretty much tell you. Oh, and before I forget," she got on the tip of her toes and gave Elliot a quick peck on the cheek and slid her arm from his grasp.

"My name's Lydia!" she side stepped out of the kitchen leaving Elliot dumbfounded. He then felt a cool breeze around his neck, but when he reached up to adjust his scarf all he grabbed was air.

"SHE TOOK MY SCARF!"

*¿/?*

"Boss! Hey Boss!" The twins ran down the hallway, searching for their employer. Feeling rather giddy of their self-made plan, they didn't pay attention to the girl standing in their path. They almost ran her over if it wasn't for the sudden chill the boys felt as her gaze slowly slid to them. They skidded to a halt in front of her. She had extremely wavy honey colored hair that was pinned up in a loose bun. Her orange colored eyes stared back at red and blue ones.

"Hey, who're you?" Dum asked. "Are you a guest or enemy?" Dee asked. She stared at them both, "I'm neither, I just happen to be here," her voice soft and soothing as the tone of a mother. Another chill ran down their spine as her voice reached their ears and a sudden blush appeared. "You wouldn't happen to know where I am, would you?" She leaned in closer to them, waiting for answer. "You're in the Hatter's mansion, hey are you a foreigner?" Dum asked.

"I am but not an official foreigner. You see it's kind of difficult to explain at the moment but I am looking for someone," She inquired. "We'll help you look!" Dee chirped while his twin looked at him incredulously. He grabbed Dee by his arm as he whispered to him, "What about the plan?" He looked over his shoulder at the girl who was staring back at them with a warm smile. "Wouldn't it be more fun if we had more people to come to the tea party?" Dee whispered back. Dum thought it over before saying, "Yeah, you're right." A grin flashed Dee's face, "Of course I'm right," he turned back to the girl, and finished, "So as I said before, we'll help you look for your friend!"

"Thank you, I appreciate it very much, by the way my name is Sophie," The girl bowed slightly. "I'm Dee and this is my brother Dum," the blue eyed twin informed.

The twins grabbed both of her arms and began speed walking down the hallway. "So what does your friend look like?" Dum questioned. "Well she's very beautiful. She has long brown hair that's slightly wavy and has lavender colored eyes, and always has a slight smirk on her face like she knows something you don't," Sophie described while readjusting her arms in the twins grip.

*¿/?*

"Knock, knock, knock, anyone home?" Lydia cracked the door open so she could peer inside. Seeing and hearing no one, she waltzed in leaving the door wide open. The room she intruded looked similar to an office. An extremely classy one actually. There was a desk practically stacked high with paperwork. She looked around the room, lazily blinking her eyes in mild interest. "Expensive taste with a dash of a bachelor feeling to it, this is obviously a man's office."

"Is there a problem with my taste in décor?"

Lydia whipped her head around to see none other than Blood Dupre leaning on the door frame with a taunting smirk. "Well it could be better, but none the less admirable," the girl said cautiously. He pushed himself off the door way and closed the door behind him. "It's very bold of you to come here uninvited and insult a man's property young miss," Blood said tauntingly as he approached her. The brunette stood her ground and swayed side to side with a teasing smile on her face, "Well some men need a strict critique on things to get a lady's point of view."

Blood took a strand of her hair and twirled it between his fingers, "Is that so? Well I'm honored to have such a watchful eye in my presence." Lydia laughed lightly and gently pushed his hand away, "Trust me my eyes aren't as watchful as Sophie's, nothing ever gets past her…ever."

"Blood, there's a thief in the-YOU IT'S YOU!"

The Mafioso turned as Elliot came into the office looking as if he was about to have a panic attack. Lydia looked around Blood and saw Elliot which made her smile wider, "Hey there Elliot, long time no see."

The rabbit eared man pointed an accusing finger at her in response, "Give me back my scarf!" Lydia looked down at her neck where the object was hanging from, "Hmm, I'd rather not, I mean you have to admit I look good in it."

"Hey Boss! We have an idea!"

The twins came rushing in, pushing Elliot out of the way while Sophie trailed behind them. She noticed Elliot on the ground and kneeled down to him, "Are you alright Elliot?"

"Boss! Let's invite the lady to another tea party! We'll have even more guests with Sophie here!"

"Sophie?" Lydia questioned. The girl helped Elliot off the ground and dusted him off when she heard her name, "Lydia?"

The two girls looked at each other as the others tried to figure out what was going on.

"Who's Lydia?" Dum asked his brother. "I'm Lydia," the brunette answered. "So who's the so called thief Elliot?" Blood asked.

"That girl!" He yelled as he pointed to Lydia.

"Lydia give Elliot back his scarf," Sophie ordered. Lydia pouted, "But I like his scarf! Sophie you always ruin the fun!"

"Give him back his scarf now," Sophie repeated in a demanding tone. Lydia flinched but did as she was told. After a settling silence fell over the group Sophie spoke up, "Well, since we're all here I think an explanation is in order."
