"Maddie…I had no idea…well…that's not true." Maddie rubbed her arms, she had just told Alistair what had really happened in the grove, he didn't speak, he just let her talk, "I'm sorry, I know you really like Bunny." Alistair got up, "Who said I liked Bunny?" Maddie looked up at him, didn't he like her? They were always together so…
"Maddie…I actually like, you…" Alistair put his hand behind his head, like he usually did, Maddie's heart stopped. Wait, he likes me? ME? But…why? Suddenly her heart started beating fast, she tried to smile…but she was to overrun with…happiness, it seemed odd, seeing as she was happy but didn't want to smile, but it was the kind of happy that just made her want to have tea!
"If you're not going to say anything I can just…" Alistair had begun to say, but Maddie interrupted him, "Alistair, I like you to…" Maddie had barely let the words whisper through her mouth, Alistair stared at her, his eyes in disbelief, she stared at him to, at those beautiful eyes of his, "So…What now?" She giggled a bit, but this time, she was the one being interrupted with a soft kiss.
She was surprised at first, Alistair grabbed her in his bulky arms and held on to her like the teddy bear a child didn't want to let go, soon she returned the kiss and the moment couldn't have been better…she cupped her arms around his head, and wished this could last forever…
Something creaked in the background, but Maddie blocked it out…maybe she shouldn't have. "Maddie? Alistair?!" The two looked at the voice at the sound of their names, separating as an immense blush began to spread across the room.
"What are you two doing?!" Kitty stood in the doorway, her hands on her hips and face completely shocked. Alistair began to mumble, "Uh, I, I was just, leaving." Alistair looked at Maddie, then the floor, and then made his way across Kitty and out the door. Kitty walked around Maddie, closing the door behind her.
"So, Maddie…what was that I just walked into?" Maddie looked to the ground, she hated when Kitty did this…the interrogation of truth she called it. Maddie shuddered a bit inside before answering, "Alistair and I were…um…" Kitty looked her straight in the eye, then spread her arms and hugged Maddie so tightly the force knocked them on the bed, "You guys are together!" her Cheshire smile smiled proudly, Maddie looked at her puzzled, "So you aren't mad?"
Kitty got up and sat beside Maddie, "Are you kidding me? This is so rebellious!" Maddie giggled, "Glad you're taking this the right way cat." Kitty winked, "Besides this will cause chaos…and chaos makes this Kitty purr…" Kitty then disappeared and reappeared on her bed, "Now come on, time for bed!" she then clapped and the lights went out.
_-O-_
Maddie was walking along the strange sidewalks of wonderland, how she missed her home…Alistair walked beside her, his hand cupped around hers, they walked together, the flying teacups chirping around them…Maddie closed her eyes and laid her head against Alistair's shoulder, only to find it wasn't there, she picked up her hand, black smoke swirled around it then disappeared, "Alistair?" She looked around, the sidewalk had vanished and the sky was black with streaks of grey clouds, everything around her had disappeared, she screamed for him one more time, "Alistair!"
He was gone to, and slowly everything began to crumble, the last thing she heard was Bunny's demonic laughter.
"Aahhh!" Maddie sat on her bed, her hand moving through her curls, "It…it was just a dream." Maddie sighed and looked at Kitty's bed, she was gone. "What time is it?" 8:15…I'm late. Getting up, Maddie yawned, she then looked to her vanity to find a single cup of tea, next to it a note, it read: sorry I didn't wake you, you looked like you needed some sleep –The Cat Kitty? She would! Maddie was so lucky to have a roommate like her. Maddie grabbed the cup and gladly drank it. Suddenly the world around her felt…odd, the walls started to get blurry and everything stated to move, Maddie dropped the cup, and then collapsed on the floor, the door opened and the sound of heeled boots clinked up to her.
