I was on my way to my new apartment with my sister-in-law of two years who ironicly enough, is also named Alice. We were jamming to the Gwen Stefani cd that's based on Wonderland.
"Hey Libby, doesn't this remind you of the Alice game?" Alice asked.
I nodded.
"Yeah, remember that dream that I told you about?" I asked.
"The one you started writing and never finished?" Alice asked.
I gave her a mock glare.
"Yeah, that one." I muttered.
Alice chuckled.
"I'm just playing with you, Libster. You really should finish it, though." Alice said.
At that moment, a grey cat ran out into the road. I had to hit the emergency brake to stop the car in time. The cat turned and stared at us. I could have sworn there was something familiar about the glint in its eyes, but it ran off so I couldn't be sure. Alice sighed.
"What is it with the animals, today? That's the third cat and ran in front of the car today." Alice said.
I shrugged.
"Who knows. Cats can be very fickle" I said.
Alice nodded.
"Ain't that the thruth." Alice said.
I sighed.
'That cat. I've seen it somewhere... But, where?'
We drove in silence the rest of the way.
Later on that night, I was in my room getting ready to go sleep, when I saw the same grey cat from eariler outside. I raised an eyebrow.
'Must belong to one of the neighbors.'
The cat looked up at me and jumped up onto the tree near my window. It sat on the branch and just stared at me. I smiled and stuck out my hand making kissing sounds trying to lure it to me. It jumped off the tree and landed on my window sill.
"Hey there, little buddy. Aren't you a pretty little thing." I cooed.
The cat purred and stretched itself out on my lap. I giggled and stroked his belly.
'What a cool cat. I wish I could keep it.'
The cat looked up at me and I gasped when I saw the golden glint in its eyes. I shook my head.
'Get a grip on yourself, girl. That was 4 years ago, and it was just a dream. Its just your mind messing with you again.'
That was what I wanted to believe, but something in the cat's stare told me otherwise. It jumped off my lap and went to the notebook where I kept the written rough drafts of my Alice stories. I narrowed my eyes in curiousity.
'What is this cat doing?'
I got up and walked over to pick it up. It meowed and put its front paw on my nose. I chuckled and walked back to my window. I set the cat down on my lap and it closed its eyes.
'There's something familiar about this cat. I can't help feeling that I know this kitty somehow...'
I shrugged and the cat jumped back outside. I closed the window, turned off the light, and got into bed.
'What a long day. Thank god its over.
Those were my last thoughts before falling asleep.
A/N: Yeah, the day's over, or is it? That's the trouble with dreamland, you're never quite sure what you're getting.
