Wonderland

[A/N: If you don't know what happened to part one, then you must read my other story, "Cats and Dogs", for the first installment of Christmas goodness!  Hope you guys enjoy!<3]

Kitty's P.O.V. 

        Everyone had gotten up and eaten the lunch Maddison had made.  she, Quincy, and I were all eyeing Butterfly as she ate, sitting right next to Whitney.  

        After the meal was done and all was cleaned up, I asked Hattress and Dad if Maddi and I could go and explore the surrounding area and town.  Dad was against it, but Hattress was on our side, and he can't say "no" to her.  

        "You stay together and don't talk to anyone!  Do you understand me?" he asked, worriedly.  Maddi and I both nodded.  We grabbed a bag and packed it full of food and stuff before walking down the dirt road to town.  

Maddison's P.O.V.  

        We walked for what felt like an hour or more.  I was huffing and puffing and stopping every few minutes to catch my breath.  

        "C'mon, Mads.  It's not that bad," Kit groaned when I stopped once more.  

        "You...climb trees...for fun..." I panted between breaths, "Shut...the fuck....up!"  I held my side, feeling a pain shoot through my ribs.  I was thin but not in shape.  

        "We are just a few hundred feet from the town," Kit whined, pointing down the way to the sign that read 'Commonplace County'.  I straightened, and began to walk.  "Thank you," Kit sighed.  

        "You are carrying me home," I griped.  Kitty audibly sighed but nodded.  

        The town wasn't the biggest thing.  In fact, it was half just the school.  The downtown area was just a small cluster of shops, all family owned.  Kit and I walked into this clothing store that looked to sell vintage pieces.  

        "Holy crap," Kit exclaimed and ran from my side.  I chased after her to what took her attention so quickly.  

        "Kit, what the Hell?" I asked annoyed.  She spun around and showed me a dress.  It wasn't anything fancy, but her eyes were alight.  

        "Em, it's so beautiful!  Look at the color and feel the texture!  I'm gonna try it on!" she squealed, running into one of the few changing stalls that lined the wall.  

        "When did you turn into such a girl?" I mumbled.  Kitty slammed the changing room door back open and glared at me.  

        "Don't you ever call me that..." she seethed, slowly closing the door again.  I scoffed and began to look around the little shoppe.  Not thirty seconds later, Kitty emerged from the enclosed changing area clad in the pale dress.  I looked at her and realized what she saw in the thing.  

        "You look beautiful, Kitty."  She giggled and spun around a bit.  Stopping, she checked the tag.  Her face dropped.  

        "It's thirty-five dollars...  Damn," she moped.  I frowned with her.  

        "It's well worth the price to make a princess feel as so," a familiar voice spoke.  We both looked in the direction it came from to find a certain tall brunette.  

        "Oh, E-Ezra, right?" Kitty exclaimed.  He nodded.  Kitty's face was flushed a deep red.  

        "You look beautiful, Darling," he said, bending down to kiss her hand as he did mine just earlier.  "Won't you do me the pleasure and let me purchase this for you, as a thank you for your kind help and service earlier."  He stood straight, letting go of her hand.  

        "It's not necessary, really," Kit tried, but Ezra had already walked up to the register and handed over a card.  

        "The dress for the young miss," he said.  He beckoned Kitty forward and pulled the tag off the dress and handed it to the clerk.  They scanned it and swiped his card.  

        "All set.  Have a nice day!" she chirped.  She handed him back his card.  Ezra grabbed Kitty's hand and walked out with her.  

        "I guess I'll grab her clothes..." I mumbled.  I grabbed her stuff and walked out after them.  Kitty was blushing hard and hiding her face.  

Kitty's P.O.V.  

        "Ezra, we barely know each other.  You really shouldn't," I protested, but he wasn't listening.  He was leading me down the pavement.  

        "It's a beautiful day out; how about we visit a park?" Ezra said, completely ignoring Maddison.  I pulled back harshly and stopped.  Surprisingly, it stopped Ezra, too.  

        "What are you doing?" I asked him when he turned my way finally. He faced me fully, grabbing my other hand in his.  

        "Trying to make a beautiful young lady mine."  My eyes widened, and I couldn't form words.  I both hated and loved the feeling.  

        It was December, and some humans celebrate a holiday called "Christmas".  I think it was to remember the day that some smart guys found this baby who was supposedly the son of a god.  I am also pretty sure that those same humans eat the flesh and drink the blood of this person, but are not considered cannibals.  It confuses me...  

        Anyways, the town was decorated for the aforementioned holiday.  Lights and trees and red-green-white streamers were all about.  Lastly, there were these little red berries surrounded by green leaves hanging from almost everywhere.  

        Ezra lead me beneath one of these things.  He pointed up.  

        "What?" I asked.  He chuckled deeply.  

        "We're under a mistletoe.  Do you know what that means?" he asked me back.  

        "That it might fall on our heads?" I answered.  He chuckled once more.  

        Shaking his head, he said, "No, silly girl."  He held my face in his large palm.  "It means you owe me a kiss, Darling," he said leaning in.  He pressed his lips to mine.  I yelped a bit, surprised, but I didn't fight it.  I mean, he was a handsome, nice, charming man.  

        And, it wasn't like I was taken...right?
