The Chestier cat then appeared by the fire petting Alice's head softly, Steve whispered to the cat "I have brought you what you have asked for." the chestier cat smiled "Yes and I thank you I will take her now and you may take #2 home, but she must be willing to go." Steve desperately whispered "Please fix her, that tea makes her forget, can you make her cup dry?" The cat replied with knowing eyes "Addicted she may be but her cup will dry by morning." Steve looked him in the eyes "Please tell me more, I want to take her back to my world." The cat sighed "All will be clear as the door to your world opens." Steve bowed slightly "Thank you sir, may thine days be long and pleasant." The cat smirked while carrying Alice "Oh it will be." He said as they both disappear in the shadows of the night.
The next morning Steve awaken to the small fire left over from last night, but looks to see that Shadow was nowhere to be seen. "Oh grand, she's gone." Steve then began to hear a distant yell; he stands and stokes the fire with more wood until he sees Shadow swing on a vine. He watches with his hand on the butt of his gun as Shadow jumps off the vine and does a double flip in the air. As Shadow lands on her feet Steve mumbles "Well don't you look nuts." Shadow looks to see Steve up and smiles towards him "Hello kind sir I took it upon myself to get you some food." Shadow then holds up some funny looking fruit, Steve raises and eyebrow and sighs as he pulls some food out of his bag. "I got dr. pepper." Steve replied as Shadow sets the fruit down on a very large leaf and takes the purple looking heart-apple fruit. Steve begins to eat some jerky while Shadow begins to savor the fruit "Yummy, so kind sir where may we venture today?" Shadow asked looking at the man who claimed himself as the Gunslinger, he looked at her finishing his jerky "I have no idea; I'm heading back to the rabbit hole." Shadow smiled brightly "Would you like a guide, I'd be happy to take you then venture to my twins domain." Steve the thought back to what the cat had said. "Fine, would you like to visit my world?" Steve asked as Shadow lifted an eye brow "Your world, what is it like?" she asked curious of another world besides Wonderland "It's pretty nice, plenty of magic." He replied knowing that he had caught her interest "So it's much like wonderland, yes?" she said smiling at Steve. "Somewhat." Steve said then Shadow looked around "By the way where is fair Alice, surly she would have been wise to not venture alone where the cat is surly to get her." Steve then replied quickly hoping to not cause a panic for it was the last thing he needed before escaping this nightmare. "Uh the cat did get her I believe, he left with her at least." Shadow smiled "Oh my, well at least her wish shall be granted, now where did I put my tea cup" She said while searching her many pockets. "Oh dear me it seems that I am missing my tea cup, no matter when I go to visit my dear twin I shall get another." She said giving up for the search of her precious tea cup.
