Ben's Note of Sheer Awesome: Hey guys! You know, my mood is kind of fluctuating right now. Not really sure how I feel or why I'm writing happy fics. But hey, that's life. By the by, a new fic will be up shortly. It's going to be more of an adventure fic inspired by a dark and let's be honest gruesome plot line that I'm turning into a less gruesome and kind of cute plot line staring Dexter and Cupid! (Don't ask me why I'm losing my mind. I'm getting old…) So, five fics at once! I'M GOING TO DIE!

Hi KCL! Not officially back… but it's nice to hear from you. *gives you a giant poster showing a picture of Kitty and Alistair on their bench in each other's arms* Because I'm nice :). Also thanks for the cider, but mostly because I'm nice.

Also, this one takes place directly after the last one. This is going to be awesome!

Prompt 33: Mom

Kitty and Alistair were still sitting in their bench in silence. Kitty smiled, as if her life was completely back to normal. No drama, no nothing. Nothing to worry about.

"KITTY CHESHIRE!"

Kitty winced. Oops. She forgot one thing…

"Mom, I can ex-" she started to say but instead was scooped up by her mother and squeezed. The air was blown out of Kitty as her mother hugged her tight. However, Kitty didn't struggle or deny her mother the pleasure. Kitty forgot that she almost threw her mom away too.

"Don't you ever do something so… so… stupid again!" the Cheshire Cat cried. Kitty didn't take long to join her mother in crying as they hugged each other. "Kitty… why? Why would you… do that? You have a life. I… I love you. I may not tell you that often, but I truly do."

Kitty cried more. "Mom… I wasn't thinking straight. I thought… I was evil, and useless… because of Dad…" the words caught in her throat. Whatever did happen to her father? Did her mom know? Probably not.

The Cheshire Cat tensed… only to hug her daughter harder. "Oh Kitty… you aren't either of those things. You aren't evil, just chaotic like your mum. And you aren't useless. You keep Alistair from doing stupid things."

"Um… Ms. Cat, I can hear you," Alistair pointed out, making Kitty giggle.

"All that matters is that your alive and keep bringing me joy," her Mom said, nuzzling her. "I know I'm not the best mom Kitty… but I'm trying. Just please… be here next time I visit, ok?"

Kitty smiled, grasping her mom tight. "I will Mom. I'm sorry," she said. When they pulled apart, the two girls smiled. "Want to go prank Headmaster Grimm for denying me help?"

"Like mother like daughter," the Cheshire Cat grinned. Like that, both women vanished, making Alistair chuckled to himself.

"The girl I'm dating… what did I get into?" he laughed.

"One of the mysteries of love: you don't know until you explore it," came a women's voice. Alistair's lips puckered into a grin.

"Mom," he said, turning around. A young women in her mid-twenties with blonde hair and blue dress stood before him. Alistair stood up and ran up to give his mother a hug. "What are you doing here?"

"The Cheshire Cat gave me a lift," Alice said with a smile. "Besides, I really did want to see if teleporting was faster. Turns out that, no, the rabbit hole get me places faster."

Alistair chuckled. "Well, that's the White Rabbit for you. Always a hole to everywhere in a blink of an eye," he said.

Alice chuckled with her son. "Speaking of the White Rabbit… mind giving Bunny my regards? I haven't seen that girl in ages."

Alistair nodded. "Of course. She adored you back when… before the curse," he said in memory. "So… any reason you wanted to say hi?"

Alice thought for a moment before nodding. "I do," she said. A smirk appeared on her face. "So what's this about you dating Kitty? Are you treating her well?"

"Mooooooooooooooooooooooooom!" Alistair groaned.

Alice giggled. "Curiouser and curiouser. You seem to get embarrassed when I talk about your romance life."

"Mom, not cool, like, for real."

Alice giggled again. "Oh come on. I get to tease my son every once in a while."

Alistair face palmed. "I have no argument… and that makes me so sad…"

BN: *laughs so hard he explodes. A clone appears in his place* Insanity is a close friend of mine. He hooked me up with these clones. Anywho, that was a nice scene, with both serious face and funny face! I wanted to show off Alistair's mom and make Alistair feel embarrassed a little. But I also want to show how important it is to connect with your parents. You need to let them know when your low so they can help you. I felt Kitty found a new appreciation for her mom here, knowing that she doesn't need to only turn to Alistair for help. Kind of a cute 'mom/daughter' moment.

That's that. I'm not sure if I'm returning to daily updates, but that should tide you over for now. If I don't update until then, Merry Christmas everyone!
