Someone asked in a review if there was gonna be any parings. My answer is-even if it is suggested sightly in this chapter and futhor ones-NO, though there is a slight thought of one in chapter four. There are no pairings in this story, unlike my others. Really thought I should answer that.
Chapter three: Pig and Pizza
Dib soon lost track of the mouse as he walked and found himself walking aimlessly through the woods, which seemed to get smaller every step he took.
He soon realized he was getting bigger and was soon his average size. He was also out of the forest and smiled happily, as he saw a manor far off. He raced after it and saw a very peculiar sight.
A fish-headed alien took a large letter from a frog-headed one, who said in a very proper British voice, "For the Duchess, from the Queen."
The Fish alien said back, "From the Queen, for the Duchess," and nodded. The Frog alien left with a nod and the fish alien sat on the doorstep with the letter.
Dib walked over and stared at him.
He then walked over to the door and knocked loudly. There were some smashing sounds and a whole lot a yelling.
"No use," said the Fish alien sadly. "Too much noise."
"Well, then can you let me in?"
"Well, if I were on the inside and you knocked, then I could kindly open the door and let you in."
Dib looked at the creature and said, "Well, then how am I to get in?"
"If you were on the inside, I could let you out."
Dib sighed as the Fish alien went on about random nonsense and Dib opened the door. A plate flew at him and he ducked. It hit the back of the alien's head and it gave him the letter. "Give this to the Duchess; I suppose I won't be able to give it to her for a while."
Dib raced in and ducked again as a plate shattered on the closing door and a yell was heard. He walked into a kitchen, where he saw pepper flying around the air and…
"Gaz?" Dib said as his little sister raced by with a small baby. Gaz stopped and said in a voice much like her servants', "I am not Gaz! I am the Duchess!"
Dib sighed as she ran by again, the baby sneezing. So many odd things had happened so far this day that Dib wasn't gonna complain.
Instead, he looked up and saw a fairly large cat with white and pink stripes. It smiled widely down at him as it flicked it's tail from side to side. "Uh...Duchess," Dib said. "Yes?" Gaz said, walking to him and bouncing the sneezing baby up and down. "Why is your cat smiling?"
"Why! It's a Cheshire Cat!" Gaz exclaimed.
"A what?"
Gaz hit the back of Dib's head and said, "You should know, it's all so obvious." Gaz turned to a cook. "More pepper on my pizza! The piggy will be most displeased if he does not get his pizza by this afternoon!" The cook looked frightened and threw pepper randomly into the air, causing Dib to sneeze.
Gaz took the letter from Dib's hands and threw the baby to him. He barely caught the ugly thing as she tore the letter open. Gaz then said, "Oh, look! I've been invited to play croquet with the Queen of Hearts herself!"
The cook said, "Oh, happy day!" and threw more pepper into the air.
Dib hurried out as Gaz began throwing plates around again. He passed the Fish alien, who was still muttering and headed off into the forest.
Dib thought about the baby in his arms.
I probably save it from death! I'm a hero! he thought happily.
It wasn't until a little ways into the forest that the baby's cries sounded more animal-like then human. Thus, Dib looked down and dropped it in shock.
The baby had become a pig!
Dib watched it run off and heard a purr.
He looked up at a sign and saw the Cheshire Cat. For no reason at all, Dib said to it, "So, you're the Cheshire Cat, huh?"
Dib hadn't wanted an answer back, thus meaning he didn't expecting an answer, thus causing him to yelp when the Cheshire Cat replied, "It's pronounced Cheshire Kate, thank you very much."
Before Dib could answer, the Cheshire 'Kate' jumped down from its perch on the sign and landed on the ground. It gracefully turned into a tall girl with a flicking tail and cat ears. She looked about sixteen, five or six years older than Dib. She walked over and kneeled to his eye level. Tapping his nose with her middle claw, she said, "Hello. Who may you be?"
Dib sighed as she purred. "Dib," he said softly as she walked around him with her hands behide her striped back. Her tail ran over his neck and she said, "Looks like we have our self a human."
"Well, Dib," Cheshire Kate said, "Where do ya wanna go?"
"Huh?" Dib said, snapping back into reality.
Cheshire Kate pointed to the left. "That way to the March Hare's house. But I wouldn't recommend going that a way. He's not so sane during this time of year.
"And that way," she said, pointing in other direction, "is to the Mad Hatter's tea party. If you go that way, I'll come with you."
Dib nodded as the Cheshire Kate stood up and began walking with him to the Mad Hatter's tea party.
