The white rabbit sounded the trumpet for the croquet match.
"In your places, in your places, by order of the king!" said the King. "Hurry, hurry, hurry!"
"Shuffle deck, guards, cut, guards, halt!"
Flamingos of different colors flew into a bag and there were hedgehogs that curled up into ball shapes.
The Queen rolled up her sleeves and chose her flamingo and the white rabbit placed down her hedgehog, ready to play the game. Prim was given a flamingo bag, she took out the birds, but they tried to fly out of her hands and it caused a ruckus.
The Queen had a hard time concentrating. "SILENCE!" she demanded.
Prim fell down on the ground, griping one flamingo by the neck as the other flew off successfully. The flamingo looked rather stupid and incompetent to play the game, but Prim shuts him up to avoid any more distractions.
The Queen was ready now. She swung very swiftly, missing the hedgehog. The King went and urged the hedgehog to go anyway and roll to go through the cards making rings so the Queen wouldn't lose the game and her fiery temper. The hedgehog made it through all the rings and the crowd, cheered for her.
Origa went for her next turn, doing the same like the Queen earlier. Only this time, a card couldn't make the hedgehog in time and skid on the ground. Everyone looked in surprise and worry, and the card missed the rodent.
"OFF WITH HIS HEAD!" the Queen roared, now that their turn was over.
"Off with his head, off with his head!" the King told the guards taking the card away to behead him. "By order of the King! You heard what she said!"
"You're next!" the Queen told Prim.
"Oh, but!" Prim panicked, thinking she meant the Queen wanted to behead her next.
"My dear." the Queen smiled, friendly.
"Uh... yes, your Majesty." Prim understood that it was her turn to play. The Queen and Origa used they're flamingos as seats to see how Prim would do while having smug looks on their faces. Prim held her flamingo up to hit the hedgehog, but the flamingo want limp, laughing at her. The two Queens chuckled in amusement with this. And the guards thought it was amusing too.
So Prim grabbed the flamingo by the neck, and just as she tried to hit the hedgehog, the flamingo rose up and the crowd laughed. Prim tried to make it stop and hit again, but the bird kept making jokes with her, even kicking her stomach and making her laugh.
"Oh, of all the impossible!" the Queen growled to herself.
"Do you want us BOTH to lose our heads?" Prim scolded the pink goofball.
"Uh-huh!" the flamingo nodded, giggling.
"Well, I don't!" Prim hissed, trying to settle the flamingo. She kept having troubles with it and wrestled it all about.
The crowd kept laughing at her misfortune, then settled down and cheered once something else happened. The two queens looked excited and saw that the flamingo was going to use her as a mallet instead. Prim was really not amused with this and gestured for the flamingo to come to her, smiling innocently.
The flamingo looked at her, then he was gripped by his neck and the two got in place. Prim then struck the hedgehog, making the poor rodent squeal and roll around the garden, missing the card rings and hitting a bush, making a red rose fall on its head and the crowd laughed again.
The two queens felt victorious and walked to have their turn while Prim was very angry. The Warriors came to support Prim and the Warriors heard a familiar humming and the Cheshire cat appear on the Queen's behind.
"I say, how are you getting on, folks?" the Cheshire cat asked them.
"Not at all." Prim turned, folding her arms.
"Beg your pardon?" the cat asked.
"She said, not at all!" Connor raised his voice.
"WHOM ARE YOU SPEAKING TO!?" the Queen turned, hearing the volume.
"Oh, umm... A cat, your majesty!" Vault stammered, nervously.
"Cat? Where?" the Queen looked around for the mysterious cat, using his powers to take advantage of the Warriors' innocence.
"There!" Claudia tried to point out the cat. "There he is again!"
"I warn you Warriors." the Queen came to the Warriors with a sickly grin, then a terrifying frown. "IF I LOSE MY TEMPER, YOU LOSE YOUR HEADS! UNDERSTAND!?" the Queen's flamingo nodded, she then went back to have her turn on the game.
"You know." the cat appeared again. "We could make her really angry. Shall we try."
"Oh, no, no!" Alicia cried.
"Oh, but it's loads of fun." said the Cheshire cat.
The Warriors tried to stop him, but the cat went to make the Queen angry and get rid of the Warriors forever. The cat then placed the flamingo's beak underneath the Queen's skirt. The Queen swung her flamingo and ended up falling flat on the ground crushing Origa as well with her bloomers showing, shocking and horrifying them. The Warriors looked doomed.
"Oh, no!" Connor cried out.
"Oh, my fur and whiskers!" the white rabbit gasped.
"Oh, dear, save the Queens!" the king cried out.
The cards gathered around the Queen and Origa with the king, including Chloe, Gorg, Troox, and Owen, shivering and trying to settle them down.
"Someone's heads will roll for this!" the Queen fumed and they slammed all of them down on the ground. "YOURS!" she pointed to the visiting group. "OFF WITH THEIR-"
"But, but, consider, my dear." the king tugged on her dress, making her quiet down. "Couldn't we have a trial first?"
"Trial!?" the Queen glanced at her tiny husband.
"Well... Just a little trial... hmm?"
The Queen thought about it for a moment. She then smiled and patted his head. "Very well, then... Let the trial begin!"
The cards all sorted together and splashed in front of everyone as they entered the court room.
