Character(s): Terra and Ven
Content: Ventus and Terra are off to explore the Wonderland floor!
Setting: Wonderland
Time: Morning, lasting...awhile?
Warnings: DORKBROS???? Not much! Will be updated if needed.

It had been Ven's idea. Lately, it had been starting to hit him just how tired he was of sitting around and waiting for things to happen. He was happy to be here with Terra and Aqua - of course he was - but finding a way to get out was just as important as being with them! Not just for their sake, but for everyone who was trapped here. They were Keyblade wielders, and it was their responsibility to help.

So he was relieved when Terra agreed to explore the next floor with him. Ven could have gone by himself, sure, but it was much better to know that he'd have a friend around to help.

Maybe...they even could talk a little. If Ven could bring himself to ask the right questions.

Getting there wasn't hard, at least. All it took was some asking around to find out where the floor even was, and then a bit of hunting to reach the door. But here they were. Easy enough so far, right?

"Well, what are we waiting for?" Ven asked, looking at the door and then back at Terra with a smile on his face.

"Well, we have to make sure we're prepared, Ven." Terra replied, ever acting like the older brother he may as well have been to Ven, "We don't know what will be behind that door."

Terra was pretty sure nothing would attack them right away, but the point still stands.

"I don't know..." As much as Ven appreciated being looked out for, he thought that maybe, in this case, Terra was being just a little too careful.

"We've got everything, right? Plenty of potions, some snacks-" That last one was Ven's idea, though he was pretty sure Terra would thank him for it later. Then, in a flash of bright light, Ven's Keyblade appeared in his hand, and he holds it up to help make his next point.

"And it's not like we can forget these."

All in all, Ven was feeling pretty confident.

"Okay, okay, we are ready." Terra grinned at the younger boy. He supposed he was being overprotective, but considering everything that had happen, that would happen, no one would really blame Terra for feeling overprotective.

"Let's get a move on then."

It was Ven who rushed to open the door, eager to see just what lay beyond the door. It had been pretty neat to see the floors that had already been explored on the way here...but this was new to all of them and, though exploring these floors was a serious task, Ven couldn't help but feel excited. It was a lot like going to another world, wasn't it?

And, indeed, it was.

He couldn't hold back a gasp of surprise when he stepped into the forest. Everything was so bright and colorful and...and huge!

"Woah. Look at those flowers!" Ven said, pointing to the incredibly tall blooms in the distance. "How did they get so big?"

From in the distance, someone sang. "T'was brillig...and the slithy toves..." A pink light shone through the flowers and foliage, dimming and blinking as the voice came closer. "Did gyre and gimble in the wabe..." The light moved forward until it stopped right in front of them. The disembodied voice continued to sing. "All mimsy were the borogoves..." Two large eyes popped into existence in the middle of the air, following by a slowly grinning cat mouth that sang. " And the mome raths outgrabe!"

Purple striped swirled from nothing, forming the silhouette of a cat. A shade of pink filled into the empty places between the stripes and with a twitch of the tail, a cat several times larger than Ven and Terra sat in front of them.

"What strange bugs you are," the cat said, lowering his huge head to grin down at the boys.

"Maybe we shrunk upon coming h--" Terra was cut off when he heard the strange voice singing. He summoned his Keyblade as he prepared for whatever had found them, which, to his visible surprise, was the strangest cat he had ever seen.

"We aren't bugs." Terra replied.

"Huh?" Ven watched the light, following it's movements and listening to the strange poem. The thought of summoning his Keyblade really didn't occur to him until Terra did, and by then the cat had already appeared. Ven echoed his friend's unspoken sentiment - it was the strangest cat he had ever laid eyes on.

This whole situation seemed a little bit too familiar, though.

"Maybe we aren't bugs, but..." Ven paused, thinking for a moment. "But are we bug-sized?"

If they were...well, at least Ven had experienced being mouse-sized before. Bug-sized couldn't be much worse, right?

The cat rolled on to his back, shaking the earth beneath the boys. "Perhaps I am just very large," he answered Ven's rhetorical question. "It's a matter of perspective. Perhaps we're ALL bugs and you're just the smallest about!"

He seemed to find this particularly amusing as he began to laugh before launching into song once again, lifting one paw as if conducting his tuneless hum.

But then his head rolled back upright while his body stayed on his back. Staring at the two boys, his grin grew wider. "Regardless and forthwith, there are some insects in this forest you might be wary of. They snickersnack in the darkness and their eyes all glow up at you from the deep!"

"What do you mean, Cat?" Though whatever answer Terra wanted from the Cat was suddenly forgotten when the cat continued to talk, not that what the cat probably would have answered would have made a lick of sense to Terra.

"Unversed?" Terra asked, summoning his Keyblade automatically.

'Snickersnack in the darkness'...glowing eyes...

That description sounded strangely familiar to Ventus, and it wasn't the Unversed he thought of. Hadn't Sora described something like that? What was it...?

"I'm not so sure." Ven summoned his own Keyblade, looking around for any disturbance.

...Heartless.

Was that it?

The cat ignored the boys, rolling around in the dirt and humming his song. From the undergrowth around them, pinpoints of yellow appeared -- it seemed Ventus was correct. There would be no time to say so, however, as something sharp and hard shot out at them - several seeds aimed right at them!
