Cheshire Cat: Lose something?

Cheshire Cat: Oh? In that case, one moment please. (his body appears) There, is this more to your liking?
Merida: Yes it is, i could also say that you scared away those whisps i was about to follow
Cheshire Cat Now why would you want to do that when there is a perfectly good sidewalk to follow instead. (Vanishes)
Episode 2
Vanishing Act

Cheshire Cat: Oh by the way. If you really want to know. They are that way.

Cheshire Cat: Why your family of course.
Merida: (excited) They are?
Cheshire Cat: They are what?
Merida: That way.
Cheshire Cat: What are?
Merida: (irritated) My family!
Cheshire Cat: What family?
Merida: But didn’t you just say they we… i mean… (growls than take a deep breath to calm herself) Look, do you know where my family is or not?

Cheshire Cat: Can you stand on your head?
Merida: (grabs his head) Are you trying to help me or get me killed?
Cheshire Cat: (his head vanishes and reappears back on his body) Well that depends on your prespective on the situation. Anyway, we best be on our way.
Episode 4
A Will o’ the Whisp and a Way
1: Merida was starting to lose her patience, but if the cat claims that he knows where her family is than she has no choice.
2: Merida followed the levitating cat until she hears a familar moan.
3: It was whisps from before. Merida waited until the cat turned the corner so she can follow the whisps
4: She creeped closely so as to not scare them away
5: But the cat’s tail pulls her away from the whisps and back to him.
Merida: Why did you do that? The whisps know the way
Cheshire Cat: Naturally, that’s because they have no way. All ways here you see are the creeps’ ways (points to where the whisps were leading her, an creep infested pathway).
Merida: Oh. Well all right then. I don’t supposed you have any idea but i’m not holding my breath.
Cheshire Cat: Well, some go this way, some go that way, and some go in between ways. But, as for me myself personally, i prefer a shortcut.
Episode 5
A Road Less Traveled

5: This tree has a familar grin to him. The tree turns out to be the Cheshire Cat in disguise
Merida: (growls) Listen here cat, your little detours are…
Cheshire Cat: Driving you mad?
Merida: A little bit yes.
Cheshire Cat: Well, you can’t help that. Were all a little mad here.
Merida: You think i’m mad?
Cheshire Cat: You must be. Otherwise you never would have follow me in the first place. Would you? (Vanishes).
Episode 6
Were All Mad Here
1: While walking out of the wood, Merida thought about what the Cheshire Cat said finding some truth in it.
2: I guess everyone is a little crazy in their own way. But sometimes that what makes them special.
3: She came out of the wood and on to the sidewalk
4: Not just any sidewalk but the same sidewalk where she started. She had gone in a circle.

Merida: YOU TOOK ME TO IN A CIRCLE! THIS IS WHERE I STARTED!
Cheshire Cat: Sometimes there is nothing like getting back to the basics.

Family Reunion

4: She had never been happier to see her family in her life
5: Once they went inside, Merida climbs up the wall to talk to the cat.
Merida: I would like to thank you for helping me. But, i still don’t understand something.
Cheshire Cat And what might that be?
Merida: You knew where this was here all this time. Why did you send me on a wild goose chase?
Cheshire Cat: To give you a glimpse of what might happen if you follow the whisps.
Merida: What?
Cheshire Cat: Well, am i correct in assuming that the will o’ the whisps lead you to your fate?
Merida: Well, yes.
Cheshire Cat: You see, Fate can be a rather fickled mistress sometimes. It can promise you to get somewhere but only to be going nowhere.
Merida: I guess that makes sense.
Cheshire Cat: And you have to be a little mad to change it.
Merida: And everyone is a little mad here right?
Cheshire Cat: Exactly (starts to vanish) You may have noticed that i’m not all there myself (laughs as he vanishes).
Merida: I’ll keep that in mind.
