With utmost care, Vira set the teapot down on the tray. She arranged four teacups and saucers around it, then picked up the tray and went to the back door. Balancing the tray on one hand, she pushed the door open and stepped into the backyard. Keeping the tray as still as she could so the cups wouldn't rattle, she walked through the woods she had always known.

She paused when she came to the field, searching the other side for signs of movement. She saw Rabbit sit up in the middle of the field and made her way towards him. Together they walked to the rabbit hole where the Cat and Alice were waiting.

Vira set the tray down on the ground and passed out the teacups. "Here. Rabbit, that's yours, and Cat, and mum."

The wolf smiled. "Thank you, dear. It's nice to see you again."

Vira returned the smile and poured the tea. "So tell me, how have the White pieces been?"

The conversation went on, drifting through the trees and up into the cloudless sky. In the back of her mind, the grey eyed girl knew that she would always be alone in the house. But she also knew that she would always have the wolf with the emerald eyes.

I wanna have the same last dream again
The one where I wake up and I'm alive
Just as the four walls close me within
My eyes are open up with pure sunlight
I'm the first to know
My dearest friends
Even if your hope has burned with time
Anything that is dead shall be re-grown
And your vicious pain, your warning sign
It will be fine

Hey you, here I am
And here we go
Life's waiting to begin

Any type of love it will be shown
Like every single tree reach for the sky
If you're gonna fall
I'll let you know
That I will pick you up
Like you for I
I felt this thing
I can't replace
Where everyone was working for this goal
Where all the children left without a trace
Only to come back as pure as gold
To recite this song

Hey you, here I am
And here we go
Life's waiting to begin
Tonight
Hey you, here I am
And here we go
Life's waiting to begin
Tonight
Hey you, here I am
And here we go

I can not live
I can't breathe
Unless you do this with me

Hello here I am (do this with me)
Here we go
Let's go life is waiting to begin (do this with me)
Hello here I am (do this with me)
Here we go
Let's go life is waiting to begin (do this with me)
