Ninjas and Wizards and Cats

Keminia and Shiroya observed a new door in the house of Sora. Shiroya stepped closer to it and knocked.

Shiroya: Hello?

Keminia rolled her eyes.

Keminia: Just open it, Shiroya.

Shiroya did so, and both ninjas stared at the meadow on the other side of the door.

Shiroya: Magic!

They stepped through and the door disappeared behind them.

Shiroya: At least we are here together... I don't think I could bear to be without you.

Keminia blushed and nodded. They started walking nowhere in particular. Finally they came to a path.

Keminia: Maybe we should follow it?

Shiroya: Sure.

So they followed the path and came to a crossroad, a rather messed up crossroad. The signs said things that didn't even make sense. From down one of the paths came the sound of some people singing.

Shiroya: It sounds... nice... I guess.

Keminia: They're all singing something really weird.

Then the owners of the voices appeared on the path. A blue-haired boy hugging something purple and fuzzy. A cat boy who looked like he was having trouble singing. And a girl in between them. She looked the most normal, except she was playing with a knife as if it was a normal stick and not a sharp blade.

Keminia: ...Should we say hello?

Shiroya: Couldn't hurt... At least I think not.

They noticed the ninjas and stopped singing. The two boys split off to look at the signs, while the girl came over to them. The girl gave a bow.

?: Hi, you must be new here. I am Samantha.

Keminia and Shiroya bowed back.

Keminia: Hello, Samantha, I am Keminia, and this is Shiroya.

Samantha smiled at both of the ninjas.

Samantha: Welcome to Wonderland, home to everything and nothing, the unknown and the already known. This world is made of sense, nonsense, and sense unknown to many. Did that make any sense?

Keminia and Shiroya looked very confused.

Keminia: No...

Samantha: Good, I was hoping it would work.

Shiroya: So, who are those two?

Shiroya pointed to the boys reading the signs. Samantha turned around and shouted at them.

Samantha: Hey, team!

The boys turned to her.

?: What, Mantha-chan?

The blue-haired one spoke. The furry thing in his arms hopped down and ran to Samantha.

Samantha: They wanna know who you guys are!

The cat boy smiled, and the blue-haired one shrugged.

?: Knock, Clyde Knock.

?: Kaito Shion.

The fuzzy thing observed the new people with wide, round eyes.

Samantha: Oh, that's Ice Cream. He's a wuggle.

Ice Cream: Nii?

Ice Cream made sparkly cute eyes. Clyde winced in the background.

Shiroya: He's safe, right?

Samantha: Clyde doesn't think so, but yeah.

Keminia picked it up and hugged it, rubbing its soft fur between her fingers.

Keminia: It's so adorable!

Samantha shifted uncomfortably and danced on her toes, as if to keep her blood running.

Samantha: You guys want to come to the tea party?

Shiroya: The tea party? Shouldn't you say it 'a tea party'?

Samantha shook her head and laughed.

Samantha: No, silly. There's only one tea party that I know of and it's called 'the tea party'.

Olivia followed Yukiya to the lake, he was explaining everything along the way. Elias, Naomi, Tagatha, and Luca all tagged along.

Yukiya: I was just walking along the bank, and then I glanced down, and there was a portal in the water.

Olivia: How big was it? Did you go through it?

Yukiya held his arms out.

Yukiya: About this big, and in the shape of a mirror. In fact it looked a lot like a mirror...

Elias: But did you go through it?

Yukiya nodded, but looked lost in thought.

Luca: What was on the other side?

Yukiya frowned.

Yukiya: Some place called Wonderland, you know, like the fairytale.

Naomi: Alice in Wonderland?

Yukiya: Yeah, only a lot different. The Hatter isn't crazy... And there are two 'Alice's.

Everyone looked a little confused.

Olivia: So is the portal still there?

Yukiya: When I checked this morning, yeah.

They arrived at the lake and Yukiya took them to the spot.

Naomi: You're right, Yukiya, it looks like a mirror...

Elias: Because it is.

Naomi: Oh...

She looked extremely embarrassed. Luca pointed to the top of the mirror.

Luca: There's some weird writing... Can anyone read that?

Olivia squinted.

Olivia: Arisu no furusato... I don't know what that means...

Elias: The writing on the sides and bottom?

Olivia: The bottom says... Wandarando... Weird. The sides say... Samansa... And Arishia... This is all in weird symbols, how am I even reading it?

Tagatha: Oh, it says 'Home of Alices' on the top, in a script known as 'Japanese'. Seems similar to the language of Hinomoto... You're probably doing subconscious magic to read it, just concentrate on understanding it too.

Yukiya came and read over her shoulder.

Yukiya: The sides are names.

Olivia: Samantha and Alicia...

Yukiya: Yeah, those were the two Alices' names. Samantha was amusing. Alicia seemed busy all the time, so I didn't talk to her much.

The others stared at him, except Tagatha who was waiting for everyone to hurry up so they could go through the portal.

Luca: And what does the bottom say?

Yukiya & Olivia: Wonderland.

Naomi giggled. Olivia blushed slightly.

Tagatha: Let's go through already!

Olivia: Okay... Sure.

So they went through.

Naomi: My cloak is getting wet!

Everyone Else: Deal with it.

Alicia was surprised by how many guests they were having at the tea party. Owen was going around greeting everyone with his normal smile. Though briefly she caught him casting an unnerving smile at Samantha, who only grinned creepily. Alicia thought her mind might explode with all names she was learning. Two ninjas and six wizards, all from other 'worlds' as Samantha called them. Alicia wasn't sure about this gathering though, something seemed a little suspicious about Samantha... it was definitely that grin she kept showing.

Spade came in through the window of the room, his paws lightly hitting the floor with little pats. He approached the sleeping girl's bed and leapt to the edge of it. He then magically switched into human form and shook her shoulder lightly.

Spade: Wake up, Hellenia.

The girl awoke and sat up, smiling.

Hellenia: Good morning, Spade.

Spade only nodded, then stood up.

Spade: Come, there is a tea party at the Hatter's to attend.

Hellenia nodded and slipped out of bed.

The party was now full of a whole bunch of people. Luke stood and motioned for everyone to take their seats. Samantha then stood up while Luke sat.

Samantha: Ahem. Silence please.

Chatting.

Samantha: Quiet, please.

More chatting.

Samantha: Shut up!

Still more chatting.

Samantha: WHO INVITED THE CHESS SOLDIERS!?

Finally silence reigned, and silence liked its kingdom.

Samantha: Thank you, everyone, for coming, from mirrors with strange writing, from random doors, and from the comfort of your kitty beds.

She glanced at the wizards with the mention of 'mirror', then the ninjas with 'random door', and lastly at the two tired Knocks, who were standing around in their pajamas and yawning.

Clyde: We were napping...

Kyle tried to fall asleep standing up, but only ended up falling over. Olivia held in a snicker. Samantha slammed her fist on the table.

Samantha: I have made up my mind.

Kaito: About what?

Samantha hesitated, and rubbed her arm.

Samantha: Uh... Three things. One, I am holding a costume party here, courtesy of Luke, whom I have not asked yet. Thank you, Luke.

Luke facepalmed.

Luke: I gave up on keeping you from doing stuff, long ago.

Samantha: Good. Anyway, you are all invited. Please come, just remember you must wear a costume.

Sidd looked up at her dully.

Sidd: Like you always do?

Samantha was indignant.

Samantha: I am not wearing a costume!

Sidd: A ninja costume.

Samantha: Fine!

She slammed her hand on the table and disappeared into the house. When she returned, she was wearing one of Kaito's suits. She stormed over and sat down in her chair. Everyone stared.

Kaito: Umm... you do know it's a little big for you...

Samantha: I know... But it's comfortable.

Kaito: *sigh* Go change.

Samantha: NO!

Kaito stood and picked her up, then carried her back into the house. Clyde, who was half asleep, watched them.

Clyde: Kaito's finally carrying himself off... Has he always been in love with himself?

Kyle joined in, only he really was asleep.

Kyle: Yeah, the ship's called Kaito, or was it Kaito? Anyway, Kaito x Kaito.

Most of the table that had a sense of humor erupted into laughter.

Joker: Her hair is even blue...

Luke shook his head sadly.

Luke: This tea party used to be normal.

Joker looked surprised and almost dropped his deck of cards.

Joker: Really?

Sidd: No, he'd just like to believe that.

Kaito came back without Samantha, then took his seat. Samantha came running out after him in her pajamas.

Samantha: I'm not staying in bed without you!

She then dove into his lap and hugged him tightly.

Kaito: *gasp* Can't breathe...

Ash shifted in his sleep.

Ash: Beware the Yukiya, Samantha...

Samantha stopped hugging Kaito so tight and turned to stare intently at Ash.

Samantha: Ash! Speak your wisdom, oh great mouse!

Ash: ... You didn't invite... I forgot her name... And Alexa...

Samantha: I knew I forgot someone... Oh well.

Kaito: Finish your announcements, Samantha, we don't have all evening.

Samantha put her finger to his lips.

Samantha: Don't say that...

The evening left them and the night replaced it.

Samantha: The author is making a troll face right now...

Kaito: What?

Samantha: Nothing.

She turned around in Kaito's lap and addressed everyone.

Samantha: The costume party is two weeks from now, no slacking, work on what you're gonna wear as soon as possible. Be here around dinner time, in your costumes. That's all about that.

Clyde was now fully asleep, cuddled next to his brother. Ash had crawled into Joker's lap. Naomi was struggling to stay awake. Olivia slapped herself, and when she tried to do it again Yukiya wouldn't let her.

Clyde: Kaito should marry Kaito, they're a cute couple.

Kyle: I ship Kaikai.

Kyle decided upon a ship name. Luke facepalmed again. Samantha glanced back at the owner of the lap which she was sitting on. Kaito only shrugged. Samantha then shifted and looked back around the table.

Samantha: Two, I will be claiming Kai-Kai. Does anyone object?

Clyde: Sam-sama! Don't get between the lovers, don't go between Kaito and his love!

Kyle: Kaikai! Kaikai!

Samantha: Kaito is mine!

Clyde: Ack! Love triangles!

Kyle: Wait... Kaikaisam?

Clyde: Yeah...

Both cat boys rolled over away from each other in their sleep, then quickly rolled back, making surprised kitty noises.

Kyle: Stay close... It's cold away from Kaikaisam.

Clyde: Yeah...

Ash: KAIKAI!

Kaito: What is this all about?

Samantha: No clue. Three, I'm gonna kiss Luke!

The people who were drifting off sat up straight in their chairs, surprised. The people who were already asleep awoke with a start. The people who were still awake choked on their tea. The people who weren't drinking tea choked on nothing. Everyone stared in dead silence at Samantha.

Samantha: You heard me.

She got up and walked over to Luke, then planted a kiss on his cheek.

Samantha: Goodnight, Luke.

Luke kissed her on the cheek too.

Luke: Goodnight, Samantha.

Samantha ran back to Kaito and crawled into his lap, then fell asleep. Kaito stared down at her, then picked her up and carried her to the door of the house. Kaito stopped, turned around, and smiled at everyone.

Kaito: Everyone dismissed! Goodnight!

Kaito then disappeared into the house with the sleeping girl.

A group of wet wizards emerged from the lake, which must have looked funny, if anyone had been watching. Yukiya pulled Olivia through the mirror and they all got out of the water.

Naomi: I'm soaking wet!

Olivia: Doesn't matter, we were invited to a costume party. That is worth getting wet for, right, Tagatha?

Tagatha: Sure.

Elias: You're all weird.

Luca: Hehehe. Kaikai.

Elias: Shut up!

The two male wizards glared at each other, and Yukiya interrupted.

Yukiya: We're going to the party, right?

Everyone turned to Yukiya.

Olivia: Yeah!

Naomi: Of course.

Tagatha: I'll be tagging along.

Luca: Wouldn't miss it.

Elias: I'm only going to keep you all out of trouble!

Yukiya nodded.

Yukiya: Okay. Goodnight, everyone.

Everyone headed back to their dorm rooms.

Naomi: I'm still so wet!

Tagatha: What did you expect? The water to evaporate in a matter of seconds? We'll have to carry our costumes with us, wrapped in waterproof cloth...

Naomi sat down and started brushing her hair.

Naomi: Please come out, tangles!

Tagatha: Argh! Naomi! The hair cannot hear you! ...Neither can the hairbrush! Or the water!

Naomi: Oh...

Naomi looked down at her bed, her cheeks red. Suddenly Olivia was hanging from their ceiling.

Olivia: Yes!

Naomi: What?

Olivia: A triple date!

Tagatha grabbed Olivia to pull her down.

Tagatha: Olivia! Don't you even dare put ideas in her head that she can worry about!

Naomi: Eekk! A triple date! Aaaaahhhh!

Naomi started panicking.

Shiroya: That was fun, are we going to their costume party?

Keminia: Yes!

Shiroya hugged Keminia, and they kissed.

Somewhere in the castle of Spade, a pink-haired girl walked with her wolf. The moonlight shimmered and a cat appeared to talk to her. Then Hellenia joined them.

Hellenia: Welcome, to the castle of Spade.

Spade: What is your name?

?: I would rather not reveal my name... You see... I'm from the future, and revealing such facts could cause... Time disturbances.

Hellenia smiled.

Hellenia: Well, is there anything we can do for you?

?: I'm not sure yet...

Spade: Sit... You have a lot to tell us.

?: If I do give my name, you must promise to keep quiet about me.

Hellenia: Deal.

Samantha awoke in Kaito's bed and stared at him. He was still asleep, and didn't respond when she shook him.

Samantha: Kaito... I'm gonna steal your scarf.

Kaito awoke immediately, hugging his scarf.

Samantha: I can't sleep, sing.

Kaito: Fine!

After the song, Samantha and Kaito fell back asleep.
