Alice trudged up the hill to the castle, mumbling to herself, with The Mad Hatter following behind her.
"Stupid cat, this would be so much easier if he wouldn't get in the way." she mumbled.
They made it up to the castle gates.
The outer walls were white and the gates were gold
"Where are all the guards?" Alice said, still very annoyed.
"Maybe they're also zombified?" he suggested.
"You mean jesterfied?" The Cheshire cat's head appeared.
Alice kicked the head.
"Hey, no need for violence!" the cat said.
"Says the person who killed The Blue Caterpillar." Alice mumbled. 
"If your going to say something, you should speak up." the cat purred.
"You sound like my grandma." she said, curt.
The Cheshire's body appeared.
"What do you want?" Alice said angrily.
"Oh, I just came to help your journey." he said, licking his paws.
"Then tell us which is the real castle." Alice said.
"And where would be the fun in that?" The Cheshire said.
Alice kicked him again.
"Okay, okay, I get when I'm not wanted." then, he disappeared again.
Alice let out a muffled scream and started walking into the castle.
The Mad Hatter walked in after her.
The inside of this castle was white with gold trimming, the furniture looked the same as the walls. There were a couple of brown tables holding vases, above those were pictures of scenery.
"Where's The Queens throne room?" Alice asked. "That is, if you even remember."
"That, I do remember. It's this way, c'mon." he replied, and started turning all different directions.
After a few minutes Alice got even more frustrated.
"Are you sure you know where it is?"
"Yeah, that's at least what this map says." He said, pointing to a map following them on a wall.
"So you don't actually remember." Alice said. "You're just reading a map."
"Yep." he replied, semi-happily.
She let out a frustrated groan and grabbed the map off the wall.
"Which way to the throne room?" She yelled at the map.
It didn't respond, The Mad Hatter laughed.
"What is with your mood swings. One minute you're angry and in a killing mood, the next you're as happy as can be!" Alice yelled quietly to him.
The Mad Hatter shrugged. "I guess its just the way I am."
She groaned.
"Cheshire!" she yelled angrily.
A smile appeared on the screen, then a head, then the body, and finally, the tail.
"You called?" he purred.
"Is this or is this not the real castle?" she yelled.
"Hmm. You'll have to find the throne room to find out." he purred.
Alice grabbed the dimension gun and aimed it at The Cheshire's face.
"Hey! Now is not the time to use that!" The Mad Hatter shouted.
"To bad. You gave it to me." she said, emphasising the last word.
"No, no, no, no, no." he said, trying to grab the gun from out of Alice's hand.
She smacked him away.
"Is this the real castle?" she emphasised each word.
The Cheshire cat purred.
"Find the throne room and find out."
Then, he disappeared.
"I'm going to kill that cat!" she yelled, putting her hands by her side.
The Mad Hatter grabbed the gun from out of her hand.
"You, are no longer a loud to use this. Here." he handed her a crossbow. "You'll have this instead.
"Fine." she snatched the crossbow and strapped it to her. "Lets go. I found out where the throne room is."
They followed the map for a while.
"This castle is huge." Alice said. "No one needs this much room."
They finally arrived at the doors to the throne room.
"You wait out here while I go check." The Mad Batter said.
"What!?" Alice exclaimed.
"If this is the real castle, then The Red Queen won't be very happy if you walk in." he explained. "I, however, am allowed in. You, wait."
Not wanting to hear Alice's complaints, he walked in.
Alice, not wanting to get her head cut off, waited.
A few minutes later, The Mad Hatter came back out.
