(Chapter 5)

I DO NOT OWN THE SONG "THE ENTERTAINER"

Sorry this took so long to update. THANKS SO MUCH to any who have stuck with it.

And THANKS FOR READING ^-^

Kat sat back on the bench, that ran along the cafeteria wall, as her friend Sam played the beautiful, piece, known as the entertainer. Artimis was next to her and both of them had their eyes closed as they listened to the beautiful melody.

People were gathering around to listen, as Sam's fingers danced over the keys. She had always been a musical person but after her "assignment" she found that she was ten times better at it. She had gotten the simple, title of a Music Player but she couldn't have been any more happy with it.

Her assistant –who played the trumpet- was also quite skilled. As he played, he twirled around and winked to a few girls in the audience. He was a flamboyant type with spiked out, orangey brown hair.

Sam gave him a spinney look, telling him to stop flirting.

As the song came to a stop, people began to cheer. They had quite enjoyed their little dose of entertainment.

"HATTER!" A voice called out as Kat was applauding. The White Rabbit, was stomping her way over. She grabbed Kats sleeve. "What are you doing just sitting here? You- you insane snide!" She pulled Kat to her feet "We're all waiting for you inside!"

"I thought I'd keep it regular," Kat laughed. "Y' know being late and all?" She smirked. "...Also I like how you rhyme when insulting me. You're much better at it then Boris!" Kat didn't know why, but whenever the white rabbit talked to her, she automatically would get the urge to be snotty.

"Shut up Hatter," The White Rabbit said dragging her to the door way.

At the door, Kat stopped to say "Good bye my friends. We shall meet again in 5th period!" She bowed and Courtney pushed her inside.

As soon as the two of them sat down at the table the Cheshire commented "You know late is starting to become your identifier Kat."

"And annoyance is starting to become yours… What's your name again?" She lamely, joked.

Before Boris could retort that insult, the Clock Maker called everyone to order.

"Now, since certain people were running late," She looked to Kat –who smiled in return. "This business must be discussed now." Everyone looked up as their titles were called "Hatter, March Hare, Door Mouse and Cheshire… You are to start preparing for the Unbirthday Ball. Alice-"

"Woah, woah, woah." Kat stopped her "What's the Unbirthday Ball?"

"You don't study much do you?" Alice said, but with kindness.

"… Is that a problem?"

"Oo! Oo!" The March Hare stood up and raised her hand high. "Can I tell her what the Unbirthday party is?"

The Clock Maker thought about this "… Very well."

The rabbit looked to Kat. "You see, it's when alllllll the people of the school together for a dance! The Mad Hatter, Me and the Door Mouse plan it –cause that's how it was in the original Unbirthday party for Alice. They created it. Alice is the special guest!"

Alice, with a smile, sipped from her tea.

"And why does the stupid Cat have to be part of the planning crew?" She pointed to said 'stupid cat'.

"I lead the people in, just as the Cheshire led Alice to the first." Boris said. Kat hated how everyone knew these rules but her. She would make a note to study more. "You'll have to give me the seating arrangements and lay out of the Ball."

"The lay out? We have to make-"

"Just go ask your mentor about it!" The White Rabbit interrupted. "Little twit. You need to do your research!"

The Hatter glared at her. "Maybe I should invite a rabbit exterminator to the Ball."

Then just as the rabbit was about to retort that comment, the Hatter interrupted with "Hey wait a minute? …What happened to the door mouse?"

Everyone looked to each other, but no one had the answer.

"She's so small no one even noticed she was missing." There was both ammusement and concern in Alice's voice.

Kat checked under the table.

"Oh yah!" Boris yelled -making Kat smack her head on the way up. "That little door mouse girl apparently went insane. Like as, in insaner than the first Mad Hatter insane. She couldn't handle not sleeping all day. They're sending in a new kid tomorrow."

"Oh…?" Kat said rubbing her head. She had no idea people could just be replaced like that.

"Right," The Clock maker decided -for some reason- now would be the best time to give the closing statement. "So tomorrow instead of lunch, the four of you will attend the planning room to plan out the Unbirthday Ball."

Everyone stood.

"Wait, where's the meeting room?" Kat asked.

"Planning room." Alice corrected.

"Whatever. You know, all you rich kids are wayyy more educated about this stuff then I am. I wasn't raised in a situation where I would know all these things."

Without any pity, the White Rabbit pulled a dictonary size book -simply, entitled "The RULES"- from her bag and shoved it at her. "Study up!"
