Sora, Donald, and Goofy enter the Lotus Forest and look around. A cat’s face appears
out of thin air, except this cat was smiling widely. It’s head bounces around the area,
in and out of vision, until resting atop a large tree stump. The cat’s body appears,
standing on its head rather comically. It’s body is lined with purple stripes. It steps
off and places its head back on its body, grinning incessantly
Donald (yelling): Who are you?
Cheshire Cat: Who, indeed? Poor Alice. Soon to lose her head, and
she’s not guilty of a thing!
Sora: Hey, if you know who the culprit is, tell us!
Cheshire Cat: The Cheshire Cat has all the answers—but doesn’t always
tell. The answer, the culprit, the cat all lie in darkness.
The cat vanishes
Sora: Wait!
Cheshire Cat: They’ve already left the forest. I won’t tell which
exit. There are four pieces of evidence in all. Three are a cinch to find. The fourth is
tricky. Big reward if you find them all.
Donald: Should we trust him?
The cat returns
Cheshire Cat: To trust, or not to trust? I trust you’ll decide!
He disappears. The trio defeats Heartless in the Lotus Forest before finding some
Footprints near a large flower. After climbing to one of the tree tops, Sora finds a
hole in the trunk of a tree. They enter it and find themselves in the Bizarre Room
again, this time on top of the huge stone stove. Near the two burners, they find a
Stench. They return to the Lotus Forest and travel further in, finding a large boulder
and several Dalmatian puppies. They climb the boulder and reach a lily pad, where they
discover an Antenna. As they travel along lily pads, they see a hole in a high corner of
the woods. They make their way over and enter. They fall into the Bizarre Room, on top
of a faucet sticking out of the wall. Jumping to a nearby wooden ledge, they find some
Claw Marks. After saving this evidence, the Cheshire Cat appears on the faucet, still
grinning
Cheshire Cat: Well, look what you’ve found. Nice going.
Sora: Now we can save Alice.
Cheshire Cat: Don’t be so sure! She may be innocent, but what about
you?
Sora: What do you mean?
Cheshire Cat: I won’t tell. But I’ll give you something.
The Cheshire Cat gives them the Blizzard spell and disappears.
