"Well" She said trying not to fumble her words "We should be going to the party" And with that she swept out of the room leaving Cheshire dazed, confused, and somewhat satisfied.
As Alice walked away from the bedroom she tried to regain her composure
'What the fuck was that'
Cheshire often teased her a lot but he had never kissed her anywhere but her forehead let alone lick her.
'It's just a game to him' she thought ' it has to be'
It was at that moment in time she realized he was not behind her. She exhaled thankfully but a small part of her was disappointed. She quickly dismissed the thought.
She walked to the large patio door frame that was draped over with translucent white fabric that must have been spun by caterpillar. Pushing aside the curtain she found her self in the most beautiful garden ever. This was where she had closure as a child this is where she became the warrior she was.
Willow trees littered the yard and ferns lined the path ways. Giant Lilies sang while a small creek burbled.
She heard the toots and chirps of tea post and followed the lines of delicious steam under a willow tree that had blue bells on its trunk. Next to the tree was a large table WIH at least fifteen seats but only three where occupied. Caterpillar sat on a red mushroom with white spots while puffing on his hookah pipe, March was inspecting a spoon closely although one eye seemed to cross while the other stayed focused left, then there was hatter. His long straight black hair fell to his shoulders grazing the top of his white suit that had randomly assorted black buckles. His hat was checkered white and black and was nearly two feet tall.
"Alice!" Dormouse cried
" Oh hello doormie I didn't see you there"
" Aye he most indubitably fell asleep in his tea...POT." Said march
"I don't think that's the word you're looking for March" hatter said, you could almost hear his smile in his voice.
Hatters purple eyes flicked to Alice. "Hello Alice" he said in a hushed tone of affection.
"Hello hatter" she smiled as she sat down in between hatter and march and pored herself some tea.
"Hhhhhhwaaaaahhhhttt newwss?" Caterpillar sighed smoke oozing from his mouth.
"People are still getting rehabilitated since the ruin of d kingdom but I think we shall sustain" Alice replied. Caterpillar nodded his fat head once and returned to his pipe. Hatter was enjoying a biscuit and Mach was holding his ears down while his right eye twitched and he sand ring around the Rosey, meanwhile doormie lay flat on his stomach snoring away. This is how Alice like it peaceful with her mad friend.
"Alice what happened to your arm?" Hatter asked "Those scars weren't there yesterday."
"It's noth-"
"Our lovely lady had a run in with a bandersnatch" Cheshire remarked slyly as he appeared out of thin air and sauntering to the table. This news was not so normal since the red kingdoms fall and no one was expecting it. Doormie immediately awoke, hatter stopped mid bite of his cookie, caterpillar choked on his hookah, and march pulled his ears tighter over his head while muttering of how this was outrageous.
"Honestly guys, it wasn't that big of a deal its fine" Alice tried to sound convincing
"HARDLY!" Screamed March
"This is madness" hatter moaned and put his head in his hands
"Unwise, stupid girl" Caterpillar mumbled
" you could have died!" Exclaimed Doormie
"I think she was set on that" Cheshire snarked. Alice gave him her most murderous glare.
"AYE YOU SAY WHAT?" Yelled march
"He said nothing" Alice sighed
"Did he say you wanted to?" Hatter questioned
"Oh goodness me" gasped doormie
" RING AROUND THE ROSIE A POCKET FULL OF TEA BAGS" March scream/sang
"Whyyyyyyyyy" caterpillar sighed. Y's made of smoke billowed from his mouth
"She's quiet fond of fending for herself" Cheshire remarked. Alice almost growled.
"Even if I needed help I wouldn't need it from you Cheshire" she snapped
"I still have no idea why a raven is like a writing desk" hatter sighed sadly
"Oh that's rich if I wasn't there you would have died" Cheshire said
"I can take care of myself!" Alice shouted
"Cruel rules measured by a ruler" hatter mumbled
"You make no sense" March scoffed
"Me?" Hatter chuckled "you're completely mad!"
" You're all mad!" Doormie yelled.
"The tell me why I found you bloodied on the ground?" Cheshire yelled
Alice's head spun with all the people talking and the tea steam rising with caterpillars smoke.
" I DONT NEED YOU" she screamed at Cheshire, and just like that silence fell among them.
