Running, and Running, and running away. Ace seemed to do a lot of that. Well not really he only done it like twice, three times? How many times has he done it?

"Alice.... hay Alice....... Ace!" Ace awoke abruptly almost smashing heads with the person who woke him up. When had he fallen asleep? Looking to sew who had woken him up, it was a semi-familiar face. Purple hair, cat ears, and a wide smile, that for some reason looked sad? What was this guy's name again? Something cat, cheese cat? No that's not right. Chesh, Cheshire Cat that's what it was.

"Oh hey, Cheshire Cat right? It's been a while since I seen you." The cat titles it head still standing above Ace. "Your critical thinking doesn't seem to be too out of place, but wonder about your perspective of time." "Excess me?" "I watched you run around this forest for three days before you collapsed of exhaustion. You been asleep for like two days now."

'what?' "No, no I just let that Mad Hatter house like a hour ago." Had he? Yes he's sure he did, right? The cat shakes his head. "No you didn't. I'm going to ask you a few questions and you tell me if you notice the change or you tell me how they're supposed to be, ok?" Ace shakes his head yes.

"Ok, so how long is your hair?" "It goes just below my-" Ace brings a hand to hair and stoped talking when he fells when the end of his hair is. Instead of begin just below his ears it goes a little past his shoulders. "When- no how?" The cat brings a hand up to stop Ace from rambling.

"Alright next question, the first time we meet, that scratch on your arm have you noticed that it fully heal other then that scar, and that you took the bandage off?" Ace look at his arm and sure enough the scratch was healed and scarred. "But I never took off the bandage. At least I think I didn't."

"Ace dear, I do believe that you are going mad." "Mad.....no I'm perfectly fine." He is he sure he is....yeah this cat is mad how would he know if Ace was going mad. "I don't know how long you been in wonderland but all I know is that I was drawn to you by those two using a lot a magic." The cat said looking over at two shadow people, or well that what he saw Ace saw something different.

Two little kids, one girl and one boy. There hair a snow white and outfit black. With horrible looks on there face. The girl spoke first , probably detected to the boy with her.

"Adrian..... we made....We made him go mad!!" She suddenly raised her voice at the end and then disappeared and reappeared in front of Ace. Where she proceeded to basically throw herself to hug Ace. The boy joined her a minute later. "We're sorry Ace....we didn't even think about how spending so much time in Wonderland would affect you." The boy said.

"Who even are you two?" Ace asked also trying to calm the girl down who was now crying. Could you call it crying? It looked more like ink or well bolt. "Ummm, were kinda part of your unique magic..." The boy said. "How is that the most normal thing that has been said in this conversation?"

"Ha, well now I have a good picture on what's happening now, but you two know more than me... So go on and tell us how long has Ace been in Wonderland exactly?" The cats asked. "A little over a year... Allison how could we have not known that this was going to cause him harm. Were so stupid." Allison shocked her head in agreement. "But we're also mad..... So of course we didn't think about that.... But that's no excuse. We are supposed to help Ace... We all hurt you more than help you.... Ace were sorry."

"I guess I'll forgive you, but I don't really know what you've done.... Also who we, is it not just you two?" Allison wipes the tears that are on her face then speaks, "no, there are five of us or at least for now." "Yeah there me and Allison were twins by the way. Then there Anna, Ally, and Alan." "So... My unique magic is people?" "Well kinda...."

"As much as I hate to cut this short, you all need to find a way for Ace to leave Wonderland now." "Oh right" "but that means we have to go to the Queen or well I guess King." "Unfortunately." King, people seemed to fear this king a lot. Wonder why is he like the queen of hearts?

"Ace it's been nice knowing you... Even if it hasn't been for long." The cat said holding a hand out for Ace to grab. Ace took the hand "your acting like I'm going to die....I'm not going to die am I?" "I don't know....but I hope that you don't. You have people that love you back at your home. I hate to see another life ruined because of this place. Though its off with you now... I'm sure that you two know the way to the castle, right?"

"Yep!" "Leave it to us" the cat gives Ace a bow. "It been a pleasure maybe we meet again one day." With those words the wide small returns to the cats face then his body fades till the smile is all that reminds them the smile disappears in a fome a glitter.

Ace laughs then looks at the twins. "I guess this means we're traveling together?" Allison takes one of Ace's hands in her and starts to pull both of them down the path. "Yep! You better get use to us because we're not going anywhere!" Adrian walked on the other side of Ace. "Even when we leave Wonderland you can't get rid of us!" "Why does that sound like a threat?"
