Siven giggled as she came to a stop, "I WIN!" She said jumping up and down happily.

David stopped a few feet away. "Haha good job! With that speed and agility maybe you can be on the stealth team."

Alan and Malik stopped right beside David at the same time he arrived.

"You really think so?" Siven asked with a huge smile.

"Yeah! Just have to check how well you do in battle though." David replied with a wink and and thumbs up.

Siven grinned and jumped up and down happily, "YAY!"

"Well she's excited." Alan said with a chuckle.

"Today's a good day, how can you not be excited?!" David asked with a chuckle.
Yy"Well she's overly excited... And so are you, did you have Sugar again?" Alan asked curiously.

David thought for a moment tapping a finger against the his cheek. "Nope, I think I'm just excited about tomorrow. *sigh* Although I'm also highly nervous about it..."

"That's understandable." Alan said nodding.

"Hehe I guess it is.... I hope Jace & Anna are back by then...er so what do you wannta do? I could take ya to the garden~"

"OH! GARDEN!" Siven squealed excitedly.

"I like gardens, does it have a lot of flowers?" Alan asked curiously.

"Yeah, if yo get further into the garden." David replied happily.

"I love flowers." Alan said smiling.

"Then let's go!" Siven said jumping up and down.

"Alright~" David hummed leading the way.

Siven smiled and skipped along next to David happily.

Alan and Malik followed after them.




Entrance to the Garden

---

"Well here's the entrance~" David declared stepping to the side so the others could soak in the view.

"Oh! Pretty!" Siven said smiling happily.

"I'll say." Alan said with a smile of his own.

"It does look pretty cool." Malik said.

"A lot of these flowers are hypoallergenic too~" David smiled happily.

"Well that's good for people with allergies." Alan said smiling.

"YAY!" Siven said bouncing.

"Okay this way for the actual garden!" David hummed as he lead the way.

Siven giggled and skipped along beside David happily.

Alan grinned and skipped along beside Malik.

Malik chuckled, "Siven's personality is contagious."

"Then we'll all skip!" David chuckled skipping to the garden.

Malik rolled his eyes as he was forced to skip along by Alan.




















Garden

---

"Aaannnnddd... Here we are~" David hummed as he stopped by a tree.

"Wow!" Alan said with a huge smile as he looked around.

"So pretty!" Siven said smiling happily.

"Seems like you two like it~"

"Yeah." Siven and Alan said in unison.

Malik chuckled, "Now they're talking at the same time."

"Hehahaha. How about you, Malik, do you like it?" David asked smiling at the others reactions.

"Yes, maybe not as much as the other two, but flowers are beautiful." Malik said with a smile.

"I think it'd be hard to be as happy as them~"

"Very true." Malik said with a chuckle.

*crack, SNAP* "Lo-look out!"

"Huh?! " David quickly jumped back when he heard the cracking.

Malik, Alan and Siven jumped back with David.

"Wha-what was that?" Siven asked clinging to David.

"Ooooow~" Meko moaned getting up and rubbing her head. "Oh... D-Don't tell anyone!"

"Meko, are you alright?" Alan asked running over to her looking worried.

"You didn't hit your head did you?" Malik asked going over and looking her over to see if she was bleeding.

"Hehahaha no-no I just bumped it." Meko replied smiling reassuringly, her cheek was bleeding but besides some other cuts and bruises she was fine.

"Why... Were you in a tree?" David asked looking up to see how far she'd fallen.

"Umm.... one of the branches grows really long so I climbed to it through my window."

"Oh! You're bleeding!" Siven said rushing over with a napkin and placing it on her cheek.

"Huh? Oh... Thanks." Meko replied holding the napkin.

"You still haven't explained why you were up there. :/ " David stated.

"You take after really well when he's not around, David." Meko hummed.

"Really?!" David asked excitedly.

"Why were you up there Meko, why didn't you just go out the normal way?" Alan asked with a raised brow.

"You know Alan, you and Malik make a cute couple~" Meko smiled.

Alan blushed, "Y-You really think so?"

"I think she's trying to avoid the subject, maybe we should leave it be, she has her reasons. Thank you for saying we make a cute couple." Malik said with a smile.

"Meko's got a secret? OH! Siven's good at keeping secrets too." Siven said smiling happily.

"Uhhh... Ju-just don't tell anyone you've seen... I'm supposed to be in my room." Meko said nervously.

"Siven won't tell." Siven said with a huge smile.

"We promise not to tell anyone." Alan said with a nod and smile.

"Your secret is safe with us, right David?" Malik said looking at David.

"As long as she's not running away from a check up, or something like that." David shrugged.

"Yay!! thank you, thank you, thank you!!" Meko hummed pulling them into a hug.

Alan smiled and hugged Meko back.

"You're welcome." Malik said hugging Meko.

"YAY! Siven likes hugs!" Siven said hugging Meko, David, Alan and Malik.

Meko's pocket went off in Maniko's voice. "Meko... I can see you, what is the point of me covering for you if your in plain sight?!"

Siven giggled, "Someone's in trouble."

"Okay, okay, I'm going." Meko whined as she let go of everyone and headed into the tree line more.

Siven waved in case Maniko could see her too.

"HI SIVEN!!" Maniko replied giggling.

Siven grinned happily, "Can we go see the flowers now David?"

"Yeeahh." David replied leading the way but gave Meko a curious look.

"Can Meko come too?" Siven asked looking at Meko.

"Of course." David replied

"Oh that's okay, I have to take care of something, anyway. Have fun!" Meko replied taking off over the white wooden bridge.

"Ok, let's go then David." Siven said skipping along next to him.

"Umm... Okay." David replied turning to lead the way.

Alan and Malik chuckled as they followed.

"Here are more of the flowers~" David hummed as some flower hedges came into view.

"OH! ROSES!" Siven said running over to look at them.

Alan chuckled, "She really like roses huh?"

"Roses are pretty~" David hummed strolling over to Siven.

"Look David, white roses." Siven said smiling happily.

David happily rubbed one of the petals with his thumb, careful not to tear it.

Siven smiled as she sniffed one of the white roses.

"I've heard white roses represent innocence and purity." Alan said smiling as he rubbed one of the petals with his thumb carefully.

"I think that's what it said in my book. I have a book about the meanings behind flowers somewhere in my room... If you'd like to borrow it." David offered.

"Really? That would be nice, thank you David." Alan said smiling happily at him.

"Okie dokie as soon as we're done with this I can give you it-" David stopped as he looked back at the facility his smile faded. "Hey... I'll be back in a few minutes... You guys enjoy the garden."

"Huh? Oh... Uh, ok." Alan said looking puzzled.

"Ok David." Siven said looking at more flowers.

---

"Watch out!" Maniko called as she jumped down from a tree branch.

Alan blinked and jumped backwards.

Malik put his arms out to catch Maniko.

"Wow, people keep falling from trees." Siven said giggling.

Maniko giggled as she got caught. "Aww you're such a gentle men~" She hummed before looking at Siven. "It happens a lot around here actually.... I think..."

Malik chuckled and set Maniko down on her feet.

"Really? Cool." Siven said with a huge smile.

"First Meko now you, what are you doing?" Alan asked curiously.

"Playing hooky of course! ;3 .... Plus I have to find Meko... Or Alex... *sigh* One of them."

"You didn't watch to see which way she went?" Alan asked.

"Why are you looking for them?" Malik asked curiously.

Siven smiled as she began making a wreath of flowers with white daisies.

"Umm... Well... Meko's in a tough spot, and I need to get her back to the room, if she's done with whatever she was doing..... And... Hehehe That boy said something to my lil sister earlier that made her cry, I want to make sure he meant every word of it!" Maniko replied doing a fist pump before then glanced down at Siven. "whoo nifty, I'd just end up smashin them."

Siven smiled and placed the crown on Maniko's head, "So Alex finally told her he loved her?"

Malik chuckled, "It looks nice on you Maniko, you should wear it for when Jack gets back."

Maniko blinked surprised by the flowers and question. Her face blushed slightly at Malik's comment "Oh..umm thank you. Huh? how'd you know, he liked her?"

Siven giggled, "I've seen it in his eyes when he looks at her."

Maniko looked Siven over. "Y-you're a smart lil cookie, anyone else you want to predict the compatibility of?"

"Well, Jack has a thing for you... And I think you like him too." Siven said smiling as she made another crown of white daisies.

"Really?!! Eer... Umm... How can you tell?" Maniko asked trying to look disinterested.

"Well he looks at you the same way Alex looks at Meko, like you're the only girl he sees... And you get all nervous and blush when someone mentions him or he's near you." Siven said giggling.

"You mean like now?" Malik asked with a chuckle.

"Oh uhh~ that's cause, he... Has a goofy face so I'm trying not to laugh... er, I gotta go find Meko bye, bye!" Maniko waved as she took off down the path.

"Wait, give this to Meko!" Siven said tossing the other crown to her.

Malik chuckled, "Young love..."

Maniko turned around and caught it as she ran. "Okay thanks!!"

"Bye bye, see you later." Siven said smiling and waving as she made another crown with pink daises.

Gabriel and Logan looked around the garden, "Oh, beautiful."

"I love coming to the garden." Loki said.

"I love it too... I almost always come here on my days off." David replied.

"We can see why." Gabriel said smiling.

"Yeah, we have gardens where we come from too." Logan said.

"Oh wow I can't imagine what heaven flowers would look like! " David said getting a look of wonder in his eyes.

"Well our garden is hidden by a door covered in vines that only we and our gardener know about, it has flowers of different colors, types and sizes." Gabriel said with a smile.

"And in the middle there's a pond with a small waterfall." Logan said with a dreamy look.

"Sounds... Err... Well heavenly! XD" David smiled happily.

Gabriel and Logan chuckled, "Well it should."

Loki giggled as his tail flicked.

David chuckled a bit before seeing Siven. "Hehehe .... Look at that, nothing more innocent then a girl making a flower wreath! I'm so lucky, to have such an adorable lil sister!!"

"That you are." Gabriel and Logan said chuckling.

Siven looked up and waved, "Hi brother."

David quickly went over and glomped her. "Hey Siven, I'm sorry but I have to go on a mission for a little while."

"Aw, well take this for good luck!" Siven said placing the flower crown on David's head and smiling cutely.

"Aw, don't you look pretty." Malik teased with a chuckle.

"You know what, this is the most awesome badge I've ever gotten. I'm sure I'll return save with this to help me!" David said slowly letting go of Siven and giving her a thumbs up.

Siven smiled happily, "I'll make one for all of you then. :D" She said making more for Gabriel, Logan, Loki, Liden, Jay, Malik, Alan and a small one for Snowball.

"Thanks Siven, now we'll all be able to do anything safely!" David smiled getting up.

Siven put a crown of blue flowers on Gabriel's head and one made of purple flowers on Logan's head, she gave Liden, Jay Snowball and Loki ones with pink daisies and Malik and Alan ones with white and yellow daises, "There."

"Uhh thanks..." Liden said a little confused about the flowers. the 'pink daises' didn't make him feel to manly..

Gabriel and Logan looked at each other, "You look great brother." They said smiling.

Alan smiled, "Thanks Siven."

Malik nodded, "Yeah, thanks."

"Yeah, me and Snowball like ours too." Loki said smiling.

Siven smiled and made herself a crown of white and pink flowers, "You're welcome.

David carefully ruffled her hair making sure not to damage her crown. "We'll be back."

"Good luck brother, and good luck everyone." Siven said smiling and curtsying to them all.

"So where are you guys going?" Alan asked.

".....Hopefully to get Yuki..." David replied.

"Get Yuki, where'd he go?" Siven asked looking up at David.

"Umm... To visit some family, but he're going to get them to come here." David replied glancing at Jay slightly pointedly.

"In that case I'll make them all flower crowns too." Siven said smiling happily.

"It'll be Yuki, his sister and their mom." Gabriel said giving Siven a head's up.

"Yeah, but his sister didn't look like the flower crown wearing type." Logan said.

"Yeah... she'd prob'ly burn it with 'er death glare," Liden replied with a slight shudder.

"Ok, I'l just make one for Yuki and his mom then." Siven said.

"Hey, it might pleasantly surprise her, maybe she hasn't been given any cute things." David offered.

"True, some girls like surprises like that if they haven't had one before." Gabriel said.

"Hmm... You're right brother, I'll make her one too to surprise her." Siven said with a nod and smile.

"'Opefully she won't gt p***ed." Liden muttered.

"Language." David hissed at him.

Siven's ears went back and her face flushed, "I-It's ok brother."

"Look what you did!" Gabriel said hugging Siven.

"You upset her!" Logan said hugging Siven as well.

Snowball hissed and swatted at Liden's leg before going over and nuzzling Siven.

Liden made deep sigh. I ain't a kids person for a reason...I didn't expect the girl ta cry though. "Okay, okay, why are ya cryin?"

"I... I'm not crying." Siven said burying her face in Gabriel's chest.

"Girls can be rather sensitive, especially female werecats since they can pick up on the smallest emotions." Loki said.

Gabriel patted Siven's back, "It's ok, don't cry."

"The mean man didn't mean to hurt you." Logan said patting her head gently.

"Apologize to my little sister now." David ordered giving nearly a death glare.

Liden rubbed the back of his neck as he got closer to Siven. "'ey I'm sorry if I hurt ya feelins...."

"I-It's ok." Siven said looking up at Liden and smiling.

Liden placed a hand on her head. "You sure kiddo?"

Siven sniffled, but nodded, "Yep."

"Well, this big jerks gotta get goin." Liden said as he stood up and started walking.

"Hey! you cant just leave she's still upset!" David called after.

"It's ok brother, Gabriel, Logan and Snowball made me feel better." Siven said smiling.

".....Okay... We'll be back as soon as possible." David said patting Siven's head.

"Yeah, so don't be said cutie pie." Gabriel said smiling and kissing Siven's forehead.

"Yeah, we'll watch out for your brother too." Logan said with a nod and smile before kissing Siven's forehead too.

"Thank you Gabriel, Logan." Siven said smiling happily and giggling.

"Keep it to forehead." David teased as he started walking after Liden. "Be careful."

"See ya later." Gabriel and Logan said waving at Siven as they followed after David and Liden.

Snowball mewed softly at Loki and looked at Siven then back at Loki.

"Alright, you can stay with Siven." Loki said with a nod as he followed the others.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~★★★~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A black fur ball launches itself out of the bushes and lands on Siven's lap crying. It became apparent that the fur ball was a small kitten with black fur tinged with purple. The kitten shook and buried its face in Siven's chest.

Siven blinked slightly confused, but she pet the small kitten, "What's wrong little kitty?"

"Where did that cat come from?" Alan asked blinking as he bent down to take a closer look.

"I don't know, it just appeared out of no where." Malik said bending down next to Alan to look at the kitten. "It's cute though."

Chaos turns back into his cat boy appearance still crying. "Alice... They said I killed and ate someone called Lil Will... Then one of them went nuts and tried to kill me! I didn't hurt anyone!" He hugs her crying harder.

"Who tried to accuse you of killing and eating someone?" Siven asked curiously looking shocked.

"Why would someone accuse you of killing and eating someone?" Alan said looking sympathetic.

"That's harsh." Malik said.

Chaos stops crying and looks up,snot running down his face. "Umm. Honiko...and Yuki...and umm more people. One minute the creepy guy was talking about sleep being death...the next minute everyone was freaked out and saying I went nuts and killed and ate him. Then the mean girl...Honiko had her sword and was talking about killing me. It was scary. I started to feel weird so I ran. I came to find Alice since I feel safe with Alice."

"Well Alice is a very nice girl, she'll keep you safe." Alan said with a smile, he figured Chaos was calling Siven Alice.

"We'll help Alice keep you safe." Malik said with a reassuring smile.

"Yeah, me and my friends will keep you safe." Siven said with a smiled as she patted Chaos' head gently.

Chaos "Sorry... I should be keeping you safe. Umm anyone have a tissue? My nose is runny..." He looked down in embarrassment.

"Here, you can use this~" Meko hummed holding out a handkerchief. She seemed to just pop up out of no where.

Alan jumped slightly, "Where'd you come from?"

"Oh you know, from somewhere other than here." Alex said from beside Meko with a wink.

Chaos uses the tissue noisily then offers it back to her. "Thanks... Are you a Cheshire cat too?"

Meko smiled as she carefully took the tissue placing it in a trash bin nearby. "I don't believe so, but it would be fun if I was." She replied glancing at Alex with a wider smile.

Alan sighed and rolled his eyes at Alex, "Yeah, I got that."

"Being a Cheshire cat would be cool." Alex said with a smile.

Chaos "Not really... Where I come from... We are hunted. I might be one of the last. Everyone else went to sleep." He looked a little sad and then shook his head and forced a smile. "Let's talk about something fun now okay? I don't want to talk about sad stuff. So... How did you guys meet Alice?"

Meko frowned for a moment as his mention of sleep. 'He must be talking about death... When I was hes age I didn't understand it either...' She thought before smiling again. "She's my co-worker's sister, they both seem really nice."

"I came here to find Alan, Alice helped me, she's really nice." Malik said with a small smile.

"Well, I was here before she arrived, but I'm glad to have met her." Alan said smiling happily.

"I was here before her too, but I'm glad she's here, it more fun." Alex said smiling at Siven.

Chaos Smiles, no longer forced. "Yup! Alice makes everything more fun. When she came to my old home she made everything more entertaining. Everyone loved her...except for the red queen. But she doesn't like anyone. Did you know she threatened to cook and eat me once? It was very rude! But I guess it was my fault. I saw some tarts cooling and thought they were free so I ate them. They were really good...but she got mad." He said, going off on his own little tangent. He slipped from Siven's lap and happily stretched like a cat before settling on the grass.

'So he really thinks he's the Cheshire cat from that old fairy tale?' Malik thought with a slightly raised brow.

"This Red Queen sounds awful." Alan said with a frown, he figured he'd play along with Chaos.

"She is, Alice told me she tried to chop off her head because she tried to help fix the roses by painting them red." Alex said recalling the story, he had it memorized since it was his younger brothers' favorite story.

"How awful! You both most be pretty brave to have gotten away." Meko said beginning to wonder if all this was true.

"They didn't mean to plant white roses, I was just trying to be helpful." Siven said with a nod as she sniffed at a flower.

Chaos beamed at her proudly. "Yup. Alice was very thoughtful. I bit the queen to help save us. But then... She did something bad." He shuddered and then tried to smile again. "But the important thing is she didn't get us." He held a book tightly to his chest. It appeared to be very old and they could barely see the title. It appeared to be a very old copy of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.

"Well we're glad you both made it out alive." Alan said with a smile as he glanced at the book.

"Yeah, Alice's brother would have been really sad if she had died." Alex said with a nod.

"We all would have." Malik said as he too nodded.

Siven smiled happily as she finished make a crown of flowers out of purple and white flowers, "Here, would you like this one?" She asked offering it to Chaos.
