Joker in Twisted Wonderland

Prologue 3: Legend of the Great Seven

"Heeheehee... Shouldn't you three be up and cleaning soon?" Ren groans at the voice stirring him from his sleep.

"Mmmm... Too early..." A familiar voice then groans.

"Unnnn... Five more minutes..." Another voice followed.

Upon waking up, Ren didn't recognize where he was. He quickly sat up and began looking around, his gaze stopping on the trio of ghosts. It was then yesterday's events came back to him.

After arriving home to find his parents gone, he had run out of there and went for the train station. But then a horse carriage appeared out of nowhere and the next thing he knew, he woke up in a coffin, along with Morgana, dressed in different clothes and met another talking cat, that breaths fire.

Afterwards, he met Headmaster Dire Crowley who explained to him he was now at Night Raven Collage. A prestigious school of magic in Twisted Wonderland, so apparently he was in another world, again. How does this keep happening to him?

Anyways, he was now being housed in an unused building on the campus, which was apparently haunted by prankster ghosts, but he, along with Morgana and their new "comrade" Grim, managed to work together and drive them away, and also impress the dean in the process. Speaking of ghosts...

"Didn't we beat you guys out last night?" He asks with a groan.

"Don't get us wrong, it was a good attempt... Okay, you did nearly annihilate us, but we survived, barely." The skinny ghost says, a little nervous.

"Oh right... Sorry about that. We kind of assumed you guys were trying to kills us and makes us ghosts like you." Ren apologies while getting up.

"Fair... But I swear, we were just messing with you." The same ghost explains.

"Laze about too long and you may never wake again." The small ghost then says.

"Just like us! Eee heehee!" The large ghost says next and laughs. Ren turns to see both ghosts hovering over Morgana and Grim, who were cuddled up together on the bed. Almost like normal cats. Ren couldn't help but chuckle at the scene.

"Mmm... Huh?" Morgana groans as he and Grim start waking up.

"Gyah!? It's those ghosts again! Hey you, wake up!!" Grim exclaims, now fully awake and alerts the tuxedo cat.

"Gah! What do you guys want? Another fight?" The feline asks, up and fully alert.

"Oh, we know from last we can't take you in a fight. But beware, if you're going to live here, you will be pranked..." The lanky ghost warns ominously.

"By the way, do you guys have names?" Ren decides to ask.

"Certainly. In life, they called me Ezra." The thin ghost says.

"My name is Phineas..." The large ghost introduces next.

"And I am Gus." The small ghost finishes. "Be on the lookout for us and pranks..." He says next and the trio disappears.

"Ugh... We'll get rid of you guys permanently someday." Grim growls. Just then, Crowley comes into the room with food and a change of clothes for Ren.

"Good morning, you three. I have graciously brought you breakfast and a change of clothes for you Mr. Amamiya... Pfft! Oh... Oh my... D-don't mind me!" The dean greets than suddenly starts laughing.

"What? What's so funny?" Ren asks, confused.

"Yeah, what...? Pfft! Ahahaha!" Grim starts to ask then starts laughing himself.

"Uh... Ren, you might want to look in the mirror." The tuxedo cat tells the raven-haired boy, who gives him a confused look, before something occurred to him. He turns to the slightly dusty mirror, but he could still see his reflection, which shows his messy bedhead. It also somehow made it look like he has cat-ears.
