(Outside the premises of the Crimson Castle...

Ruby: Kitty! Kitty! Kitty! Wait! No, no! Uh... Here kitty, kitty, kitty! Here kitty, kitty, kitty! Oh... c'mon, kitty.

Little: (yelps) Eek! (cowers in Ruby's hood, whispering) The cat's hindquarters!

(The Curious Cat's tail can be seen sticking out of the tall grass on the side of the path)

Ruby: Um... Excuse me?

Curious Cat: (pops out) You're excused!

Megatron: what the?

(Ruby gets startled and notices the Curious Cat is behind her. Little gets scared and hides inside Ruby's hood. Team RWBY watches the Curious Cat walking without their hindquarters)

Ruby: Uh... Hello, uh, cat.

(The Cat then joins both of their body parts together)

Megatron: this cat is quite interesting.

Blake: so I'm no longer interesting?

Megatron: you know what mean.

(She kissed my cheek)

Blake: I know it just fun.

Ruby: Curious Cat? Which one do you go by?

Curious Cat: Oh! I don't go by. That belongs to the days and the years. But if you are asking what I am, I am indeed a cat, most curious.

Ruby: Of course. (slightly laughs) Look, my friends and I really need to get to that giant tree, and so far, nothing we tried has gotten us any further.

Weiss: It looks to me like we're even farther!

Megatron: mostly because where about the size of a mouse.

Weiss: It could be both.

Curious Cat: The tree... Tree, tree, tree, tree... (gasps) Of course. That is most definitely impossible. You do not go to the tree, the tree goes to you. Unless, of course, you're me, you see.

Yang: (unimpressed) Not even a little bit.

Megatron: chuckles) and he rims i definitely like you.

Curious Cat: Well, that's your problem. It's a matter of perspective, I'm afraid.

Ruby: But, uh, couldn't you take us then? You'd been there before.

Curious Cat: So why would I ever want to go back? Yes, I'm glad we understand one another. No sense it seems a sight seen.

(The Curious Cat notices a yellow butterfly and pounces at it)

Blake: Please. You helped Alyx when she was--

Curious Cat: Alyx? ''Alyx'' Alyx? How do you know her? Are you friends of hers? Lifelong nemeses? Wait. Don't tell me. (short pause) Okay. No, tell me.

Ruby: Oh, well, we don't know her personally. Just uh...

Weiss: She wrote a book about her entire adventure in the Ever After.

Curious Cat: A book? Is it well-liked?

Blake: It's kind of a childhood favorite of everyone's, where we're from.

Curious Cat: Yes. Oh, please. I simply must know more. What did she write about? How was I portrayed? And... (sniffs) Do I smell a mouse?

(Little quickly cowers behind Megatron. Blake quickly shields Little from the Curious Cat.

Blake: Umm... From one cat to another, could you give us a minute, please?
