Chapter 6: Cheshire Cat and Friends

Sorry I haven't updated in a while. The reason I'm updating is because of my friend Rachel. Anyway, (reading off a card) she is a wonderful person and didn't threaten me with lots of pain and suffering... Please tell her I said that. AHHH! DON'T HURT ME! J/k j/k

"Where are we going?" Maria asked.

"To find a certain someone." Selena responded.

The Cheshire Cat appeared. "Who are you!" Irvine cried.

"Who indeed?" The cat crossed his arms. "Poor Alice, soon to lose her head, and she's not guilty of a thing!"

"If you know who the real culprit is, then tell us!" Riku yelled.

"They've already left the forest, but left some evidence behind. There are 4 pieces in all. 3 are a cinch to find. The 4th is tricky, but you get a nice reward." He vanished.

"Should we trust this guy?" Irvine asked.

The striped cat reappeared. "To trust or not to trust? I trust you'll decide!" Then vanished again.

"Well... I can see why Mike wants to kill it..." Stephanie sighed.

"The Cheshire Cat's AWSOME!" Tiffany yelled.

After who knows how long of finding the evidence, they went to the room with the 4th piece. ((not blabbing incase you don't know where it is.)) "Good job! You found it all." The Cheshire Cat appeared.

"Now can we save Alice?" Rachel asked, slightly bored.

"Hold on! Alice may be innocent, but what about you?"

Ame grabbed the cat and hugged it. "Darn..." She let go. "The Cheshire Cat's NOT as fuzzy as he looks..."

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!" The Cheshire cat teleported away angrily.

"Nice job Ame!" Irvine yelled.

"We didn't get to hear what he meant!" Maria sighed.

"He wouldn't of told us anyway." Selena jumped down and they walked back to the queen. "Do have your evidence?" The card asked.

"Yup!" Selena walked onto the stand. She dumped all of the proof in front of the queen.

"My! You've collected a lot of evidence, but I'm still not impressed. Guards! Bring my evidence!" She picked up the evidence, then threw it back down. "This will take too long! Pick one and I'll judge by that."

"That's crazy!" Maria shouted.

"Silence!"

Mike smirked. "No matter what one she picks, it'll be good."

Selena hopped off the stand and grabbed the box right in front of her. "This one!"

A dummy of the queen appeared. "What was that!" The queen yelled. "I'm being framed! Guards! Seize them!"

Selena ran over to the cage Alice was in. "Alice!"

A shadowy figure rushed past, grabbed Alice, and jumped away from Selena. Everyone but Selena was too busy to notice.

Selena quickly defeated the cards and broke the tower. "There!" She ran over to Alice's bird cage and it was empty. "Of course..."

Ryu frowned. "I thought I proofed that cage..." He shrugged. "Oh well."

Ame ran to the Lotus Forest entrance. "Come on! We have to go to the Tea Party Garden!"

Everyone followed Ame. "Cheshire Cat, go away!" Everyone shouted when he tried to appear. "We know where to go!"

"Well, I know when I'm not appreciated!" He warped away.

They walked into the Tea Party Garden, where the March Hare and the Mad Hatter were singing their little tune. "A very merry unbirthday!" They shouted.

"To me?" The March Hare asked.

"To you!" The Mad Hatter replied.

"Um... Excuse me!" Selena shouted.

"Hello there! Is it your unbirthday today?" The Mad Hatter asked.

"No." Selena lied. "And quit singing that annoying song."

Ame ran over to them. "It's my unbirthday! A very merry unbirthday! To me!"

"To you!" The 2 shouted back.

"Let's start a conga line!" Ame jumped on the table and they started their little line. "Da da da da da da, DA!" They were even singing the beat...

"Ame! We don't have time for this!" Rachel yelled, but got pulled into the dance. "Help!"

Everyone, except Selena, tried to stop the party, but got pulled in anyway. "Guys!" She called to the Mad Hatter and the March Hare.

"Yes?" They both stopped.

"You do know it's the queen's unbirthday, right? She needs a party with lots of dancing!"

"Really? Let's go!" The 2 ran in the direction of the castle.

"Let's go guys." Selena turned to the door.

"Selena! Why'd you do that? Those 2 are the only one's who understand me!" Ame glared at Stephanie. "Did you tape that?"

"Of course!" She grinned.

Tiffany opened the door. "Let's just go."

They did everything in the upside-down room like they were supposed too, without the cat's interruptions. After killing off all the little Heartless, the cat showed up. "The Shadows will appear in this room, but somewhere else." He vanished as Mike tried to slice him in half.

They ran back to the place where the room would be right side up. "The shadows should be here soon. Are you prepared for the worst? If not, too bad!" The Cheshire cat laughed.

Trickmaster appeared. It hit the table too the ground.

"Bahamut!" Maria summoned a tiny Bahamut. "Well... We can still ride him, right?"

Selena hopped onto his back. "Maria, heal us, everyone else, do what you can. JUST DON'T USE FIRE SPELLS!" She yelled.

The fight began. They finished Trickmaster off pretty quickly with combined efforts. "I got it all on tape!" Stephanie called.

Ifrit's Horn landed in Selena's hands. "Who wants to equip this? It ups fire resistance." She glanced at Mike.

"Ifrit's Horn... Must have! GIMME!" He grabbed the item from Selena.

"Well... I guess that answers that question..." Selena turned to the door knob.

"What a racket..." The door knob yawned so big, that the Keyhole appeared. Selena locked it and picked the Navi-G piece.

The Cheshire Cat appeared once again. This time, Mike managed to kill him. "Yes! I've finally killed that cat!"

"You killed my brother, Bob!" Another Cheshire cat appeared.

"AHHHHHHH!" Mike drank the potion, grew bigger, and ran out of the room, still screaming.

"What's with him?" The Cheshire Cat, who was a girl, asked.

"Um... He's been plotting to murder that Cheshire Cat, and... Well... You're here."

"Bob makes so many enemies that way..."

"Well, let's get bigger again." Selena drank the potion.

"Let's go everyone!" Riku called.

"Be right there!" When everyone was gone, Selena grabbed the rabbit-shaped clock. "This'll look great in my room!" She ran after them.

Sorry it took so long to update. I've been working on my homepage! I FINALLY HAVE ONE! YAY! It's still under construction sadly... Yes, I WOULD take the clock.
