• Kat and her Alex



    "Oh grumble, today really ain't my day is it?" groaned the purple-haired feline resting up in the Queen of Hearts tree. Kat hadn't had the perfect day so far in Wonderland. The Caterpillar had stolen her favorite necklace (which she had stolen herself from the Queen), Hatter and Hare had babbled about while she was trying to take a quick snooze, and Rabbit and badgered her about stealing and playing tricks on others again. So to say, Kat was pleasantly unpleasant.

    "My day just couldn't get any betta before," she sighed, her tail swinging back and forth off the branch.

    "White Rabbit? Where are you?" a voice called in the distance. Kat perked up and grinned that shark-tooth grin of hers. A quick flick of her tail and her stripes and smile faded towards the voice. She sat upon another branch in a tree near the Queen's kingdom. She smirked, her eyes popping into their place, at the handsome young man below her.

    He had messy blonde hair, like the petals of the Talking Daffodil, only brighter. He had eyes like the blue grass near Caterpillars mushroom perch, only more brilliant than that. His skin was fair, pale like the sunlight in the nighttime sky. Truly, he was the ugliest creature in the forest of Wonderland. But Kat had human common sense, and he was no ugly Honkling to her.

    "Excuse me?" Kat snapped out of her attention of detail and swung upside down, her purple eyes gazing into the blue grass ones.

    "Ya're excused," she chortled. The young man stepped back a bit, a shocked expression taming his features. Kat giggled and jumped up to the ground. She faced him. He faced her. The same smile tamed her features once more. "Welcome to Wonderland, kid. What's ya name?" she questioned, her tail sticking out like a hand to shake.

    He eyeballed her tail a moment then grasped the furry attachment and shook it. "Alex," was his reply. Kat turned her back to him.

    "What a borin' name," she scoffed. She glanced back at his even more surprised expression. He was beginning to look like the Queen on her Unhappieth 103 birthday when she and Hatter had drugged up Rabbit into being a stripper and planting him in the cake. She laughed wildly at the thought.

    "Well, what's your name?" The Cheshire turned back around, after her laughing fit was halted, and tilted her head to the side.

    "Now why on Earth should I answer such a vulgar question?" she asked, acting as if she were the Queen. Silence entered the stage for a mere appearance, then exited quickly as a burst of laughter echoed through Kat's skull. The boy was laughing. A laugh that could not be described by a mere citizen of Wonderland, much far less by Kat herself. "What's so funny, boy?"

    Alex whipped a water droplet from eye and smiled at the infamous Cheshire. "You act a lot like my step-sister," he chuckled, still resting his hand on his knees. Kat didn't know how to react. She was usually immune to most humans who wandered off into Wonderland, but this 'Alex' had a different effect on her. Something about this boy had made something in her chest make a 'thump' sound.

    "Sorry about that, anyway. Can you tell me where Rabbit went? He's going to help me with my homework," he said, gesturing to the weird looking sack hanging off his shoulder. Kat's eyes went a little wide. He's been here before? But she went back into her normal state of madness.

    "Cha, I know where he is." Silence, once again, had appeared on the stage of this scene. Alex's brilliant blue eyes tempted her to give into the battle. She resisted with all her little will, with all her strength and might. But alas, she gave in. He was too different from other humans.

    She sighed heavily. "Keep down this path. If you see a sign saying this way and that, go behind it another path should lead ya straight to ol' Rabbit." Alex smiled at her and nodded. He turned to her before he left for his lesson.

    "Thank you, Cheshire." Kat turned around but found the boy to be missing from his place on the path. She grinned her wild grin.

    "Anytime Alex."
