Here we go. I'm sorry it's been awhile. I had the longest writing block known to man. But I'm back, more creative than ever… don't you like the way that sounds? Anyway, please keep reading. I promise I won't have a long writer's block again! (That actually depends on how life thinks about that one.)

Part 9

The Mad Party

Kairi was escorted to a seat near the Mad Hatter and his friend.

"What's your name?" The Mad Hatter asked. His bunny-eared friend handed her a large cup of tea that was overflowing. She carefully picked it up and sipped it. It had a sweet taste; she swallowed a mound of sugar along with the tea, however.

"I'm Kairi," she answered, after gulping down the unsuspected mound. She looked to the younger one. He smiled when he noticed.

"I'm the March Hare!" He greeted, shaking her hand. She instantly recognized him. His blonde hair, blue eyes- how could she have missed him? His smile looked amazingly like Sora's. Roxas had also slipped into Wonderland, or someone looked miraculously looked like him.

Kairi looked to the Mad Hatter. She couldn't believe it had taken her so long to see the Mad Hatter looked like Axel. He still had the two slits under his eyes and everything. The red hair should have given it away even faster.

"Sugar?" The March Hare asked, dumping a large amount of sugar in her tea. She pushed her cups aside and frowned.

"Riku- I mean the Cheshire Cat said you guys are having a party," Kairi said, looking around. "What's it for?"

The March Hare looked to his friend and smiled. "It's an Unbirthday Party!" He exclaimed, clapping.

"An Unbirthday?" she asked. "What do you mean?"

"Well," The March Hare thought. "You have one birthday each year, but-"

The Mad Hatter cut in, "You have 364 Unbirthdays!" He slipped a party hat onto her head. She adjusted it and smiled.

She laughed uneasily. "Okay," she nodded. She placed her tea down.

"Do you care for something to eat?" The March Hare offered, sliding a slice of pound cake towards her.

"No, thank you," she replied, shaking her hands in front of her chest.

"Sweet tart?" His friend asked quickly.

"Cookie?"

"Brownie?"

"Pie?"

"No, thank you!" She said abruptly and pushed their plates away. She sighed, and deflated. "I'm not hungry."

"You have got to have some cake!" Roxas insisted. He pushed in front of her a colorful moist-looking cake. She gulped down her will-power.

"Why not?" She sighed, and picked up a fork, then froze. "It won't make me grow or shrink will it?"

Axel dived into his own cake. "No, why?" He looked confused.

"Just a thought," Kairi pushed aside and tasted the cake herself. It was perfect. It was cake bakers dream about making. She leaned back in her seat as if the cake weighted her down.

"Like it?" Roxas asked, leaning forward for her answer.

"It's delicious! Best cake I've ever eaten," Kairi applauded. Loud clashes from the gate made her jump and straighten her back.

"Please!" The White Rabbit came running in. "I'm late!" Sora ran with his pocket watch at hand. Kairi jumped from her seat, making the chair fall over.

"Sora!" Kairi exclaimed. "What are you doing here? I'm so happy to see you!"

"I don't have time for hello's or good-byes," Sora cried. "I'm late!" Axel grabbed him by one of Sora's ears as he ran by.

"What's the rush for, little guy?" Axel asked. For the first time, Kairi saw him freeze. He looked so cute when he was still and bashful. He fiddled with his pocket watch, and then jumped. He probably realized he wasn't in constant movement.

"I need to get to the Queen!" He exclaimed. Axel grabbed his watch and examined it. Roxas ran over. The bunch looked perfect standing together.

"What's wrong?" Sora asked feverishly.

Axel chuckled and pulled the watch over to the table with Sora on the other end like a leash. "Silly, your watch is slow," Axel chuckled.

"No!" Sora exclaimed.

"Let me fix it for you," Axel said, pulling the chain out of Sora's reach and onto the table even more. Roxas scooted food out of the way for the Mad Hatter.

"No, no! Please give me back my watch!" Sora cried, looking behind Axel's shoulder. Kairi decided to join. Could Axel really fix his watch; if it was broken for that matter?

"Okay, March Hare," Axel looked to Roxas. He opened the watch's inside. "Ready?"

"Ready," Roxas replied with a nod.

"Ready for what?" Kairi and Sora asked at the same time.

"Jelly!" Axel cried, and stuck his hand out.

"Jelly," Roxas repeated hurriedly and placed a jar of jelly into Axel's empty hand.

"Jelly?" Kairi and Sora asked together. "What are you doing?"

"Sugar!"

"Sugar,"

"Sugar?" Kairi and Sora's reply was more urgent and worried.

"Butter!" Axel cried, glancing at Kairi and Sora annoyed.

"Butter," Roxas handed him a bar of butter.

"Butter!" Sora exclaimed without Kairi. "No! Stop!"

"Peanut butter!"

"What!" Sora cried in horror.

"Crunchy or smooth?" Roxas asked holding up two containers.

Kairi couldn't take anymore of their horrifying nonsense. She snatched the peanut butter away from Roxas. She also stole the watch from Axel.

"Hey!" He exclaimed. She pitched it to Sora. Sora caught it and rubbed the food off of the cogs and gears. He grabbed his head in fear.

"You broke it!" He cried and ran away looking at the watch.

"Oh, no!" Kairi moaned, and looked over Sora's shoulder.

"Oops," Axel said sheepishly. He walked over to Sora and wrapped his arm around Sora's shoulders. "I guess you'll have to get a new watch."

Sora jumped out of Axel's grip and panted. "Oh, no, oh, no! This isn't good!"

"I can't believe this," Kairi groaned, feeling Sora's despair.

Axel turned to Roxas and Kairi. "I know! Wasn't it fun? Let's do it again!"

Kairi huffed and ran out with Sora. "Wait, Sora," she called after him. She looked over her shoulder at Roxas and Axel. Axel shrugged.

"A very merry Unbirthday to you," He called after her. "Got it memorized?"

Can I please have some feedback, one last time, so I can make sure I'm not writing to cyber ghosts. I just need some convincing so that I can finish the story to real people.
