Urd sat on the root of the tree near Xehanort as Eraqus paced impatiently.

"They should be here by now," Eraqus sighed.

"What? YOU'RE late all the time," Urd said. Eraqus turned to her with a smirk.

"Fashionably late!" he said.

"Says you!"

"Hey, there's an art to my–"

"Shh. We're being watched," Xehanort said.

"It's about time they showed up!" Eraqus said. He turned around, before reeling back and falling over.

"Agh!" he screamed.

"What is it?" Xehanort asked.

"What's wrong?" Urd asked. The two ran over to him and he pointed toward a high branch of a tree where they saw a floating pair of eyes. A crescent-shaped toothy grin appeared below them and the eyes fell into place as a pink and purple cat appeared.

"'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves..." the cat sang. The three approached the tree which was adorned with signs pointing in all sorts of absurd directions.

"Where did–?" Urd asked.

"Who are you?" Xehanort asked.

"A cheshire cat, if you please. Or if you don't," the cat said.

"A cat? Man, you scared me!" Eraqus said.

"Hmm...there's no point waiting around for your friends to arrive." Xehanort crossed his arms.

"How did you know we're waiting for our friends?" he asked.

"Mmm...I'll never tell," he said, its coy grin remained ever so wide.

"Can you help us? Do you know where they are?" Eraqus asked.

"Why, they're under lock... And, of course, key, too."

"What!? Where?" Xehanort asked.

"Exactly?" the cat asked. Its body vanished, leaving only its smile. "What or where?"

The smile faded and Eraqus ran up to the tree.

"Hey, wait!" he said.

"So what's the plan?" Urd asked.

"Well, we don't have much to go off of," Xehanort said.

"But we have to do something! Start looking for–Agh!" Eraqus said. The cat's head reappeared, smile first, on the tree behind Urd and Xehanort, causing Eraqus to reel back again.

"Or just wait. The answer will be here rather soon," it said. Its head retreated, the eyes jumping away before the smile vanished.

"Is he really gone this time...?" Eraqus asked as he looked around.

"What did he mean anyway?" Urd asked.

"Beats me," Xehanort said. A scuffling of feet from the path to their right caught their attention. "Ah, that might be our answer."

Three life-size playing card soldiers walked toward them, the Ace, Deuce, and Trey of Spades.

"What now?" Urd asked.

"More intruders?! It's not good to cause a ruckus in Her Majesty's kingdom, you know," the Ace said.

"We're just looking for our friends," Eraqus said. The three brandished their spade-tipped spears at them.
