Note: I DO NOT OWN TWISTED WONDERLAND: DISNEY!
Chapter 28: The Unbirthday Party Gone Wrong
----------------------
"Another dream?" I think as I see a furious Queen standing beside the trembling card soldiers.
"You sullied my roses! Prepare yourself!" she warns, as she brings a rosebush that is painted red. "I...I...I b...beg for your forgiveness, Your Highness. It's their f...fault," stammers a card, as he points to the rest of the cards.
"It wasn't me. It was the Ace!" blurts out another Card.
The Queen, now livid, stomps over to the Ace card. "Was it you!?" she shrieks.
"No, it was Two!" replies Ace. She turns to face the previous card. "So it was Two's doing?" Two shakes his head and points at the card next to him. "No, it was Three!"
"Enough! Off with their heads!" orders the Queen. Several card soldiers spring into action and drag the pitiful cards away.
"You don't need to take someone's head over rose colours," I wonder.
As the cards fade out of sight, my surroundings change again. But this time, I see a blurry face of a woman, giving me a cup of chawanmushi...
"Lilith, I managed to make some of your favourite chawanmushi for you..." the woman happily.
"W-wait, what about you!? If someone finds out that you have given me a bigger share, you may be in trouble..." a cute little girl (it could be the little me) replies worriedly.
But the woman gently cups my face in the palms of her hands.
"Don't worry, for you... I would do anything... Now eat up," she murmurs gently before I start eating slowly to savour the meal... This meal tasted all the more special because my mama had given it to me.
Mama, mama, mama...

"-pervisor, Supervisor...!"
I try to open my eyes, but they are wet and sticky. But they are slightly teary.
"Are you crying, Supervisor?"
Deuce's concerned face hovers over me. He is already looking sharp and smart in his uniform.
I give a shudder and shake my head. "I... I'm fine," I pretend that everything is fine. Turning my face away, I know I feel otherwise. I've just lost my mother again. Suddenly, I find myself missing home all over again. What am I doing here?
"Supervisor, wake up!" Even Grim is shrieking in excitement outside the tent. There will be no opportunity to think about this dream. I sigh.
Putting on a big show for the others, I crawl out from the marvellous pillow fort that I had built last night and yawn exaggeratedly in greeting.
All of them are standing before me — all ready to spring into action.
"Hey, sleepyhead! Remember, today is the Unbirthday Party. If we're late, it's off with our heads!" Ace reminds me
My eyes widen at the reminder: "Oh shoot! I better get movin'!"
*Knock*
*Knock*
"Hm? Sounds like someone's here," announces Deuce, as he saunters towards the door and opens it.
"G' mornin'~! Did you enjoy your sleepover? Was it an evening of pillow fights and card games?" asks Cater, as he pops into the lounge.
