I padded through the forest. I felt so small being a cat in all right now. However it was fun to sway my tail back and forth. 'I don't know where to go right now...' I told myself. "Well, well, Hello my little kitten..." A mysterious voice purred. I looked up to see a masked man I had seen on my drunk trip through the amusement park.

He leaped down to the ground before me. I turned to make for a run but once again fell on my face. He took this advantage and scooped me up in his arms.

"Wow you really became a kitten now..." He laughed as he rubbed my ear. I began to purr at the welcoming feeling.

"We at least you became something cool! I was stuck as a rabbit!" I laughed... well sorta... when he told me that. "Don't laugh my little kitten!" He said before laughing himself.

"I thought I could be of some service for you this fine April day." He told me. "I'll take you to the park come on." We walked down the path with me on his shoulder.

"You see the Joker played the Joker card this season so the role holders and Outsiders are stuck as animals until they face their worst fear. Yeah, and most of them are predators of kittens. I bet you found that out the hard way. Dog's at the mansion, rabbits at the Clock tower, Birds at the Amusement park, and rodents at the Castle. But for some odd reason it seems to have a strange effect on you Outsiders. Alice became a rat, and you an adorable little kitten!"

He scratched under my chin. I purred again. "Well we're here! I'll have to go now, my dear Kitten." He placed me down on the ground. "Until next time." He turned and walked down the path where we had been walking.

'I wonder why he is being so nice. The last time I saw him he almost killed me!' I pushed the thought out of my head and walked toward the entrance.

"SQUAWK, BORIS, SQUAWK!"

"Shut up you damn bird or I'll eat you for lunch!" I walked into the park. Unnoticed by the gatekeeper.

"SQUAWK!" I saw who I guessed to be Gowland nipping at Boris's feet. "MARIE! YOU LOOK SO CUTE!" Gowland-Goose squawked as he ran- I mean waddled over to me. Boris followed a moment later.

He blushed when he saw me from behind the Gowland-Goose. "M-Marie." He said. I noticed the same thing with Boris- No ears or tail. He scooped me up which snapped me out of my one moment daze and ran.

"Sorry Marie. But Gowland was about to take a nip at you. I suspect that he's a Carnivore." He explained as we came to a stop.

When I didn't respond. He looked down at me with a frown. "What?" He snapped. "Can't you talk?" I shook my head. "Outsiders." He groaned and sat me down. "Heres what you need to do. Think as if you're a human again."

"Bor-Boris!" I spoke. "There ya go!" He said and puffed his chest out. "I'm one amazing Cheshire cat! Don't you think?" He looked at me and noticed that I was walking away. Head down, ears flattened, tail dragging. "Marie where are you going?" He asked.

I looked over my shoulder. "Leaving." "Why?" He asked. "Because, don't you remember 'why is everything around you so screwed up?!'" He picked me up again.

"I did say that. But then after word, I realized. We're in Wonderland! Everything here is screwed up!" He laughed. I licked his cheek and leaped out of his arms.

"Bullshit." I frowned.

"What?!"

"Bull shit!"

"Excuse me?!"

"I'll be right back!" I called over my shoulder to him.

"I'm back!" I called. "Ma- WHOA!" Boris was stunned. I had faced my worst fear. Now I stood there back in my human form... only a little different. I had my ears and my tail still, But I wore a brown tank top with a fuzzy jet black jacket over the top. Short black shorts. Black stockings and shiny white shoes.

"I kinda' like this look on you." Boris admitted. "You Son of a Bitch!" I Screamed.

"Ehh?!"

"I SWEAR TO GOD BORIS! YOU'RE SUCH AN ASSHOLE!"

"I said I was sorry! How did you change back?" He asked trying to see if his ears had come back without him noticing.

"You have to face your worst fear!" I told him, still frowning. "Mine was... Never mind I won't tell you. What's your worst fear?" I asked.

"Well," He blushed.

"What?" I asked again

"It's too..."

"Hmm?"

"To be..."

"Yeah?"

"To be..."

"Spit it out Boris!"

"TO BE TURNED DOWN BY THE GIRL I LIKE!" He cried.

"Okay."

"What?" He looked confused.

"Well, Boris, If thats it then why don't we just go take you to Alice!" I smiled. "I mean, she probably won't look like a rat right now! If she faced her fear!" I cheered.

"That's not what I mean!" He said.

"Then who?" I asked. "Don't tell me Boris! You're... Gay?" I stood there dumbfounded while morning changed to Night. "No!" He said and pulled me in. His lips touched mine. I stood there. Not moving. My mind was spinning and I felt like I was going crazy! He licked my lips asking entry into my mouth. I parted them slightly, which he dived into with at once force.

I pushed him away to take a breath. But he didn't want. Oh no. He just pulled me back into a passionate kiss. He was sweet. Like a fresh summer breeze on a cool winter 's hard to say in words how it was... amazing! Shocking! Electric! He pulled away. We both stood there out of breath.

"I'm not Gay, I don't love Alice." He explained. "I love you."
