We walked into the garden after opening the small wooden gate. There was an aroma of flowers. Butterflies were fluttering about and landing on the flowers, which happened to be arranged everywhere. It was pretty.

"This is Sloth's garden. Awesome, isn't it?" Wrath said. He was laughing and running around like a little kid.

I walked deeper into the garden. Okay, Sins can do gardening as well? What more do they do?

"Ed, would you like to look around more? I'll bring tea," Sloth said.

"Huh? Oh, yeah, thank you," I murmured.

As Sloth walked away, Wrath chased after her. Even not staying here for a long time, I could see that it was obvious that Wrath truly loved Sloth. He would always be cheery around her, smiling, laughing, and hugging. So much for being at my age. Hell, the guy acted like a ten-year-old. Ha, and he thought that I was ten.

I snorted at the thought. Stupid, I look nothing like a ten-year-old kid. I continued to walk around the garden. I eyed the flowers. They were all brightly colored. Sloth even had vines, bushes, and trees here. I wonder why she chose to live like this. I thought Deadly Sins were all serial killers. But then again, her name means lazy after all. Sloth must take the interest in living a peaceful and carefree life.

But then again…Wrath doesn't seem so wrathful. Argh, this is weird. Envy doesn't seem envious at all. But Greed does act greedy, and a flipping pervert.

"Thinking too hard would make creases on your forehead," called a voice.

Wha? Oh my gosh!

I toppled onto my bottom, then whipping my head to look up. Envy was lying on a tree branch, purring in amusement.

"E-Envy?" I sputtered. "What are you doing here?"

"Sleeping, but woken up from Wrath's annoying screaming."

He gave a yawn and waved his tail. I narrowed my eyes. "In Sloth's garden?"

"She lets me since we're Sins."

I grumbled.

"Hmm, what are you doing here, shrimp?" Envy said.

"I'M NOT A SHRIMP!"

"I thought you were suppose to be wandering around in the Halls of Hell. How'd you live?"

"That's none of your business, puss!" I growled. Before I could stomp away, Envy called out, "Ahh, don't be like that, midget."

I ran up to the tree and did a high kick against the trunk, causing the tree to shake and make Envy fall. Sadly, being a freaking cat and all, he managed to land on his feet.

"That wasn't very nice," he commented.

"Says you!" I attempted doing another kick on him, but he caught my foot and brought me down. Now giving me a painful bruise on my back.

"Gah! Dammit! That hurt!" I shouted.

"Hurt me more than it did to you."

Damn sarcastic puss.

I picked myself up and dusted the skirt of the dress. Then walked away. Trying to beat the shit out of Envy would be completely worthless since he's a freaking Sin. Greed's an exception though. He's too much of a moron to be smart enough to notice my attacks. Hell, he dropped when I kicked him.

"Hey, where you going, shrimp?" the puss called.

I whipped my head back. "I'M NOT A SHRIMP YOU FUCKING PUSS! GO DROWN YOURSELF IN A LAKE!" I angrily yelled.

"Hmm, whatever." Envy shrugged and walked the opposite direction.

I blinked. "Where are you going?" I asked, noticing he was about to venture into a heap of bush leaves, which blocked the view of the forest.

"What's it to you?"

"Look," I grumbled, "stop irritating me for once and give me a straight answer!"

"Okay, shrimp."

"I'M NOT A SHRIMP!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Off to the forest of where doors of transportation are."

Huh? A laughing smirk spread across his face. His violet eyes dangerously slit. "You look puzzled. What? Never heard of these doors that can take you to random places?"

"Random places…" I muttered.

"Yup. Remembered when you encountered Greed after beating him? He went through one of those doors."

Ah! I do remember! That was the time after I left Greed lying on the ground swearing as I made a run for it. When he tried to rape me. Then I ended up the place where he came through the door…unfortunately. Envy was chuckling.

"Well, hang around if you want. I'm off to the transportation doors," Envy said.

"Wait!" I called. "Take me with you!"

Hell, who cares if it takes me to a random area! As long as I'm away from Ling, Wrath, and maybe Kimbley, then I'm fine. I don't need those hosers to bring me down as I try to get to that King of Hearts, or whatever, I need to go back home!

Envy snorted at my reply, but didn't say anything else.

So I followed him. The path was even more hidden than traveling with Wrath on the way to Sloth's house. There were large tree roots sticking out, hiding under piles of leaves. The shade of the trees made the place rather cold and dark. It gave me both the chills and creeps. What if there was some carnivorous creature about to pop out of those huge bushes? This place totally doesn't look safe. Ah, what am I saying? If there was an animal, then I'll let Envy handle the beast.

It wasn't too soon until I began seeing doors pinned up against tree trunks. This was like last time when I was with Wrath! Except, there were even more colorful doors pinned up against the bark.

I walked towards a pink door. The golden knob reflected my image. This was like any other door, right? It was slightly covered with dirt and looked worn out. The wooden frame was starting to decompose, as the paint was about to chip off. How long has this door been here? Is there some sort of creature that makes new doors? And if so, why bother pinning them up against trees?

I tapped the knob. It made a clink sound from my fingernail. I wonder, all you have to do is turn the knob and open it like any other door?

Suddenly, a bright flash of light revealed behind me. Out came a figure, a familiar figure. It was Greed.

"Thought you were out chasing sluts," Envy said.

"Got tired of them." Then Greed's eyes averted to me. "Hey, well look do we have here! It's the shrimp!"

"WHO YOU CALLING A RUNT SIZED PEA THAT'S SO SMALL EVEN ANTS HAPPEN TO OVER LOOK IT!?"

"Yeah, that's her all right."

"Sheesh, shrimp, lower the volume when you go off one of your rants. I have sensitive ears, you know," Envy grumbled, rubbing his cat ears.

"Whatever! Just tell me which door takes me to the King," I said.

"Don't remember."

"What do you mean you don't remember!?"

"I thought you were on your way there," Greed said, resting his hands on his hips.

"March Hare and Dormouse caught me," I muttered.

"Oh! No wonder there was something bugging me that I needed to tell you."

"Well it's a bit too late for that, now isn't it?" Sarcasm dripped onto every word that came out of my mouth.

Greed just shrugged while wearing a dumb grin. "Oopsy."

"Pick any door," Envy said suddenly. "Any door will take you to any random place."

"Eh? But then…it could even take me back to the prison or that Mad Hatter residence…" I trailed.

"Could, but don't just wait around. Better wishing lady luck on your side rather than having Wrath drag you around."

I suppose he's right. I looked around my surroundings. Doors were everywhere! Where should I begin? Does it matter on appearance? Like a black scary looking door could take me to somewhere unsafe. Or maybe the opposite? This is Wonderland after all. I then looked at Greed. He happens to know his doors a lot. I've seen him come out of them twice.

"Greed, you seem to know where these doors lead to. You did come out of them and they lead you to the place where you want to go, right?" I said.

"Hmmph! That's because I'm a friend of Time," he snorted.

"You mean like…minutes or seconds?" I asked with confusion.

"No, Time is a person. He can control the fate of Wonderland. He used to help bring foreigners here, but then stopped for some reason. I asked him why, but he never answered," Greed said with a shrug.

I raised an eyebrow. "His name is Time?"

"That's his title. His real name is unknown."

So Greed is a friend of this guy who can control the fate of Wonderland. Which means he's a pretty powerful guy. That means…he could help me get back home! If he can bring foreigners to Wonderland, then he must know how to bring them back! It must be possible!

"Thought, I wonder, why would he bring up a foreigner now after all this time," Envy said, rubbing his chin.

"Beats me. He's sort of anti-social so he won't talk," Greed said.

"He's weird looking too."

"Hah! You got that right, ass."

"Greed!" I shouted. "You have to take me to this Time guy!"

"No can do."

"W-why not?"

"He hates guests."

"And you're friends with him…?"

"Hell yeah. I annoy him, he gets pissed, he throws a tantrum, I laugh at him, and happily ever after."

What a fabulous story.

"Well, can you at least take me to the King? Since you can go wherever you like, you got to take me there!"

"There's no door around the Kingdom of Hearts, Ed," Greed said.

"True. Dunderbrain spent an eternity trying to look for it. He failed," Envy snickered.

"Watch it, cat-ass," Greed growled.

"Puss, dip wad, shut up," I snapped. "Greed, can you at least take me somewhere close to the heart Palace?"

He rubbed his neck. "Suppose I can do that. You that desperate to get back home?"

"Yes!"

"What if the King doesn't know how to take you back?"

"Then…then I'll try for the Clock Keeper. Envy said that I could either go for the King or the Clock Keeper because they probably know how to take me back home," I exclaimed.

Greed looked at Envy, raising an eyebrow. "Clock Keeper?"

"Time's always in his little clock tower. I thought that was a reasonable name to call him," Envy said.

"Sorry, sprout. Time's the Clock Keeper," Envy said to me.

"Don't call me that and what do you mean by Time?"

"I mean that the King is your only hope."

"Just because this Time guy hates guests?" I groaned, my shoulders slumping.

"Look, Time's a complicated guy. He's super busy as hell. It'll take a whole lot of bugging to break him,' Greed said.

"Gah! Whatever! Just take me to the closest place to the King. If he doesn't know, then I'll resort to Time," I grumbled.

"Someone needs anger management classes," I heard Greed murmur to Envy. Envy snickered.

"Dip wad! Hurry up or I'll kick your ass," I yelled.

"Yeah, yeah, I'm coming."

Greed walked towards a green door. He turned the knob and opened the door. Bright light flickered, nearly blinding me if I hadn't squint in time. As soon as my eyes became adjusted to the light, I noticed odd swirls of colorful colors slowly floating inside the door.

"What's-what's that?" I muttered.

"Transportation molecules. Helps getting you to place to place," Greed answered.

"You two have fun now," Envy called.

Greed grinned back at him. "What? Not jealous?"

"Just because my name means so, doesn't mean I have to get jealous of someone so low like you."

"You should change your name to Pride, instead."

"Can't. I'll explode if I'll do."

"Would you stop talking to puss and hurry up, dip wad?" I grumbled impatiently.

Greed then grabbed my hand. "What are you doing?" I sputtered.

"If we don't hold onto one another, then you'll end up somewhere else."

"Jeez! Loosen your grip! You're cutting my blood circulation!"

As soon as we stepped into the door, I immediately gasped. I felt so light! Every step I took made me feel scared for I was afraid that I would either slip or fly away. I was glad that Greed had a strong hold of me. The light was starting to falter as we headed towards a black pitch. Then I heard Greed's hand grab onto something. A doorknob.

"Here we are," Greed said.

I blinked. At the distance was something like a town square. Behind us was a forest. Was that the same forest that I came with Wrath?

"Get going, girl. Your journey's not done, yet," Greed said.

"But where do I go?" I asked.

"See that pointy building that has a heart on the very top?"

I looked from afar. Yes, there was the building in the farther distance of the town.

"That's the Heart Palace. Now get on, I have some girls to rape."

I shuddered. "You are such a pervert," I muttered.

I saw his grin. "The best one in Wonderland."

"Get a life, dip wad."

I stepped out of the door. As soon as I did so, the door was closed. I sighed. Thanks Greed.

I turned around and began walking towards the town. The town was much busier and crowded than I would have imagined. I heard people calling one another, horses neighing, and children's screams of joy. It reminded me of the olden days, what was it…the late 1800's?

I felt self-conscious. My clothes were brightly blues with girlyness all over. The people here wore duller colors. Some wore high, rich clothes, but they weren't as bold as mine. Somehow I feel radiant compared to others. I don't know why I'm radiant, I just feel as though I am.

I walked, looking around. Then I bumped into someone.

"Hey," I muttered, rubbing my forehead.

I looked up. My eyes met with black eyes. He was a man, a handsome one. He had short black hair, black eyes, and a cold aura around him. What he wore was a black suit with a green top hat. On the top hat was a card and a rose. This guy couldn't be…with that hat…

"Roy, what are you doing? Come on!" a familiar voice called.

My eyes slightly widened. Now way…Ling? He's here?

Just then, the heels of the shoes I'm wearing slipped against the moist hard ground. Before I could have fell to the ground, the man caught hold of my wrists. His gloved fingers were long enough to wrap around my wrists as if they were skinny rails.

"Are you okay, miss?" he said, smiling. His smile is warm, though he still hasn't shaken off that cold aura.

"Y-yeah," I murmured.

"Roy, hey Roy—now way…Ed?"

Ling stood there with a bewildered expression. Oh crap.

"What are you doing here? Weren't you with Wrath?" Ling said.

"Um, I have no idea what you are talking about, mister. I am not Ed," I lied, though my voice somewhat wavered.

"Stop lying," Ling sighed, "you tried that before, but it didn't work. Now tell me, how did you escape?"

I narrowed my eyes at the black haired man and snatched my wrists back.

"You don't have to know!"

"Ed."

I stuck my tongue out.

"Well, this is all very interesting, but we have to get going, Ling," the man said.

"Hold on a sec."

Ling walked towards me. I took a step back, but before I would even notice, Ling had me carried like a sack! He just threw me over his shoulder. How can he do this to me? I'm wearing a freaking dress for goodness sake!

"Ling!" I shouted, grabbing hold of his ears.

"Ow! Not so loud! And you're about to tear off my ears," Ling cried.

"Put me down! Now!"

"I can't!"

"Put me down, squinty hare!"

"Ling, who is this?" the man said.

From the corner of my eye, I saw Ling grin.

"This is Ed. She is a foreigner."

Ling's face turned a bit so that I could see partially his face.

"Ed, this is Roy, the Mad Hatter."
