~~HELLO MY FANS!!! Fans: Who are you? Me: Umm...an alien! Fans: ALIEN!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Corita, Sora, Goofy and Donald ran off before the card soldiers could realize they'de gone. When they got into the forest, the cat was sitting on a large boulder near the lake.
"Actually, the Cheshire Cat has all the answers...but doesn't always tell." he said, grinning.
"Do you know where Alice is?" Sora asked.
"She's gone! Knowing where she is, that's a different story."
"Okay, do you know exactly where she is?"
"Yes."
They stood there for a minute.
"Will you tell us?"
The cat gave a huge grin at this. Standing up, he said, "To find the answers hidden in the shadows, turn on the light!" With that, he vanished.
"That cat is getting on my last nerve!" Donald said grumpily.
"Oh, you had a nerve to begin with?" Corita asked sweetly.
They continued into the forest, looking around for any sign of Heartless, but all they saw was silence.
"It's quiet. Too-" Sora began, but Corita covered with mouth before he could finish.
"Let's go in here!" Goofy suggested, pointing to a door nearly covered in brush. They entered, and what they saw was a small house sitting in a clearing, a huge table set with many chairs, and festive decorations strung about.
"Where are we?" Corita asked.
"Looks like they're throwing some sort of a party." Sora said, looking around. "Hmm...there's a note here! It says, 'Welcome to the unbirthday party. Please sit down to recieve your present.' Unbirthday party?"
"It means its not your birthday." Donald said.
"No, really." Corita said.
"Well, I guess we should sit down." Goofy said.
They all scurried around to find the most comfortable seats, and sat down. A box wrapped in wrapping paper and a bow, like a birthday present, appeared on the table. Goofy stood up and opened it.
"Look! Munny!" He said, holding up a large bag jingling with munny inside. "And there's something else...2 ethers and 2 potions!"
"Well, I'm glad it's my unbirthday." Sora said, taking one of the potions.
"Where to now?" Corita said, looking around.
"Let's ask for directions." Donald said, going over to the house. They all followed, and entered the house. When they got inside, they weren't in a house. They were in the room with the table and talking door. The only difference was that it was turned on its side.
"Well, I don't think they're home." Goofy said, looking around the bizzare room.
Looking up at 2 unlit lamps on the wall...or floor...of the bizzare room, they saw the Cheshire Cat perched on one of them, staring at them.
"Why do you always sneak up on us like that?" Sora asked.
"I don't sneak. Only shadows sneak. I observe."
"Why are you observing us?"
"Who else am I to observe? The queen? All she does is chop peoples heads off." he grinned. "Remeber to turn on the lights to find the shadows!" He disappeared.
"C'mon! We've got lights to turn on!" Sora said, and he ran up one of the sides of the room, and came to a counter like thing. There, they got a good view of the lamps.
"Okay Donald, turn them on." Sora said.
"ME!? Why me?"
"You're the only one who can cast a fire spell."
With a triumphant glare at Corita, Donald shot a fire spell at one of the lamps. It became instantly lit.
The Cheshire cat appeared next to them.
"It's still too dim. Make it brighter."
With that, he disappeared.
"Okay Donald, now aim carefully at the other lamp." Sora said.
Donald took aim, and fired. It hit the lamp and it too lit. The Cheshire Cat appeared next to it.
"Splendid. The shadows should be here soon. They'll appear in this room, but somewhere else." He flashed them one more grin, and vanished.
"I gotta learn how to do that..." Goofy said.
"They'll appear in this room, but somewhere else...let's go to the courtyard!" Corita said, leading them away.
They climbed carefully down from the counter, and walked over to the opposite side of the room, where there was a large door. Corita flipped the lock open, and it swung open. Suddenly, she was struck in the shoulder by a blast of ice. "Oh! Donald..." She began, but turned around to find out it was only more Heartless, not Donald. They fought them off easily, and entered the door. They were suprised to find that they were back in the courtyard.
"This place is way too confusing for me!" Sora said.
"This way!" Corita said, leading them back to the bizzare room.
When they entered, the room seemed normal enough, but an eerie silence hung in the air. On the table sat the Cheshire Cat.
"You'll have a better view from higher up!" He called.
"Higher up? Now we have to climb back up there!" Donald moaned.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I'm happy to see you made it back up here." remarked the Cheshire Cat. "The shadows will be here soon. Are you prepared for the worst?"
"Prepared for the worst? What do you mean?" Donald asked.
"If you're not prepared, too bad!" The Cheshire Cat said, pointing towards the ceiling where the lamps Donald had lit were glowing.
"TOO BAD?!?!?!" Donald yelled at the cat, not even making him flinch. He then vanished.
"Good job..." Corita said.
"Guys! LOOK!" Goofy said, pointing at the ceiling.
They had good reasons to look. From the ceiling fell a tall, spindly creature that looked like its arms had been folded out of paper. In its hands it juggled two wooden sticks, the same color as the Cheshire Cat's stripes. And, of course, it had the Heartless symbol on its head.Sora and Corita whipped out their weapons, ready for a battle. Donald and Goofy, however, stood back.
"What's wrong?" Corita asked as Sora lept at it to attack.
"Well...it's just...that thing..." Donald stammered.
"What? Never seen a Heartless juggle before?" Corita said, leaping at it to attack. Goofy followed close behind.
Donald stared at it akwardly.
"I..." He stammered. Then, gathering up his courage, blasted a fire spell right at it.
"AH! NO!" Donald cried as its juggling sticks caught on fire. The Heartless walked over to the table and smashed the chair into the ground, trapping Donald. It then began to take swipes at him with its lit sticks. Donald shot a blizzard spell at it, extinguishing one of its sticks. The other continued to swat at him. Donald finally took a leap of faith off the table, landing right on top of Sora and Goofy.
"Thanks for breaking my fall again Sora!" He said as they continued to attack the monster. Meanwhile, Corita was standing under the table, trying to muster up a blizzard spell.
"C'mon..." she said, gritting her teeth, trying to cast an actual spell...
Finally, out of her staff came a blast of clear blue ice, hitting the Heartless monster square in the face. It fell back and, with a loud crash, landed on the floor of the bizzare room. Out of its chest came a small blue heart, like the one they'd seen when they defeated the Heartless boss of Traverse Town.
"Now THAT'S more like it!" Corita said, putting her staff on her shoulder.
"Splendid. You are all quite some heroes. Or heroines." said the Cheshire Cat, who was perched back on top of the table.
"If you're looking for Alice, she's gone. Off with the shadows into the darkness." He said, and with one lasting grin, he vanished again.
"No..." Sora groaned.
"Don't worry. Maybe we'll find her in another world!" Goofy said, putting his hand on Sora's shoulder.
Corita walked over to Donald.
"I do believe you have something to say to me." she said.
Donald shuffled his feet.
"Alright...it was a good spell...for a beginner." he said. Corita looked happy with that.
Behind them, they heard the doorknob yawning again.
"What a racket!" he groaned. "How's a doorknob to get any sleep?" He gave a huge yawn, and the 4 friends could see a tiny keyhole inside his mouth. Suddenly, the end of the keyblade began to glow, and it seemed to be gathering light inside of itself. The light shot outward and into the keyhole, and they heard a locking sound as Sora regained his balance.
"Whoa...what just happened?" Sora asked.
"I don't know. It sounded like something closed." Corita said.
"Hey, what's this?" Donald said, picking up a small item that had fallen from the doorknob.
"Looks like a gummi piece. This one's not like the others. No sir." Goofy said, observing it.
"Alright, I'll hold onto it." Donald said.
"Well, I guess we should go. It doesn't look like your King, Riku or Kairi are here." Sora said, walking towards the chair, that mysteriously reappeared after the battle. He climbed up to the top.
"No! Stay down there Corita! I have an idea!" Sora said as he took a sip of the other bottle and grew back to normal size. He carefully picked up his friends and placed them on the table.
"There! That was much easier!" Goofy said as they entered the door from whence they came to find the Gummi Ship.
