This chapter was difficult to write because I couldn't think of anyone that struck me as Tweetle Dee and Tweetle Dum. I also don't enjoy the Tweetles and have seen so many different versions of them; I didn't know whether to go with the gentle naïve ones or the manipulative mischievous ones. I also found I'm going by Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through theLooking Glass and What Alice Found. So, I'm basically going by what I remember of the Disney movie.

I don't own Kingdom Hearts.

Part 4

The Path through the Trees

Kairi was standing at the entrance of a path that led to a dense forest. She blinked and soaked in the millions of leafs that hung off of purple branches. She carried the clothes the Dodo had given her as she listened to his song growing farther and farther away.

Looking around, she saw no one to see her get dress. She moved behind a tree and slipped off her clothes. The dress was loose and easier to move in than she expected. The shoes had toe room, and the stockings were a perfect fit. She tied the bow on her head and realized there was no time to lose- she needed to find Sora.

She followed the path through the forest. She had to tug herself lose several times from stray thorns. She hopped over fallen tree trunks and listened closely for anything suspicious. She halted when she heard voices and a rustle in the bushes.

When she spun around it stopped. She searched behind her before spinning on her heel again to keep heading forward. Her heel gave out when she ran into two faces. On her bottom, she looked up two boys.

Kairi brushed herself off as she studied the boys. One had blonde hair with a cocky looking appearance and air about him. The other looked soft, with black hair. They looked completely opposite- except for the clothes they were wearing. The boys wore red overalls with a matching red bowtie on top of their yellow shirts.

She sighed when two unfamiliar names came to mind.

"Hello!" the black haired one greeted with a warm smile. He quickly took her right hand and shook it roughly.

"Hey!" the other said; though his friendliness sounded slightly fake. He took her left hand and shook it. She soon felt like a human smoothie, her eyes crossed in dizziness and her balance being dependent on their strength in shakes.

"I'm…looking…for…ugg…" she moaned. Her hand was finally loose and she repositioned her bow.

"I don't think I know an Ugg,"The black haired one said. She stared at him coldly, and then realized he wasn't kidding. He scratched his head like he took her seriously. The blonde one looked at her and rolled his eyes.

"What kind of name is Ugg?"

"Well, that's not his name," she said, finally feeling firmly planted to the ground. "I was dizzy."

"If you were Dizzy then who are you now?" the black haired one asked.

Kairi rubbed her head in frustration. "I'm Kairi," she said. "I always have been Kairi." The pair looked at each other and nodded.

"I'm Tweetle Dee," The black hair one said warmly, taking her hand again. She tried to pull away, but he held tightly and shook it.

"I'm Tweetle Dum," the other said, taking her free hand. She let them shake her until they were finished. When they did, she remembered what she was going to say before.

Grasping her head, she said, "Have you seen a boy with bunny ears?" Her vision was swirled and it hurt to see, but she noticed them looking at each other again. They didn't respond, and she shook her head.

"I have to go now," she excused, and walked past them like two doors. They grabbed her arms and pulled her beside them. Tweetle Dum "tsch"ed as Tweetle Dee swung her around.

"You haven't stayed around long enough," he said. Tweetle Dee set her down on a log. She crossed her legs. She couldn't shake off the feeling that she had seen them before. They looked familiar, and then the names came back to mind.

'Pence and Hayner,' she thought. They sounded so familiar and comforting, like she had known them and she had watched over them before. The blonde one, Tweetle Dum was had a painful resemblance to Hayner and the other, Tweetle Dee, Pence. Before she could ponder, the Tweetle pair sat on either side of her.

"You can't leave so quickly," Tweetle Dum scolded with a smirk.

"That's not very nice," Tweetle Dee fussed.

"Or polite,"

"I have to find my friend," Kairi protested. She really wished she could get up and keep going down the path. Then she felt a rock drop heavily in her stomach when she thought she'd get lost and never find Sora, and the rest of Wonderland was a forest.

"Then you have to beat me at a game," Tweetle Dum replied. He got up and went towards the trees, rummaging for something. Tweetle Dee clapped delighted. Kairi hoped the game wouldn't be too risking. He pulled out two sticks and orbs.

"What's it called?" Kairi asked, getting up with a smile. Then again…she had always loved games- that was their lifestyle on the island.

"Struggle," He said, tossing her a stick. She barley caught it when the name struck her as familiar also. She grasped the stick firmly and swung it around for a test. She nodded when she liked the easily controlled staff.

"I already know how to play," she said with her game face. She took some orbs from him, counted them up, and stuck them to her clothes. She hoped this would go fast and easy; but she also hoped it'd be fun.

"I hope you're good," she said. "Ready?"

He answered with a charge at her. She dodged to the side, and knocked off a couple orbs off his back. Kairi swooped down and picked them up, being rewarded with a jab in the gut. She dropped them and had lost a few.

Tweetle Dum scooped them up and placed them on his cloths. She waited for him, she felt as though the orbs were her bait and he was the prey. He cautiously approached her as they circled each other. She jabbed tauntingly. He jumped and brought his staff down with him. She jumped to the right and hit him in his side.

Orbs rained onto the forest floor. She rolled past his feet and caught a few. He regained the ones she missed. She had more now, which made it harder to move without dropping one. He charged at her with his stick held in front of him like he was a human arrow. She riskily reached out for his staff.

He let it slide through her closed fingers and she grasped it right when it hovered in front of her gut. Watching wide-eyed, Tweetle Dee gasped on the sidelines. She had him trapped. He looked at her with his last desperate look and closed his eyes. She wacked his back and all the orbs rained down. She tugged his staff loose and hit his knees. He fell to the ground as she retrieved all the orbs.

He panted on the ground. He smiled up at her as Tweetle Dee clapped. She stared down at him victoriously, feeling the orbs weigh her down. She shook them off, and helped him up.

"May I be on my way now?" she asked smugly and she was trotting down the path as Tweetle Dee and Tweetle Dum waved good-bye. She trotted for a few minutes before seeing the trees thin out. When they stopped she found herself passing up a cozy looking house as Sora dashed out of it.

This was one of the longer ones. Sorry if there are an errors. My editor was taking to long to sit down and read. _!
