Alice had never been to an adult party, she had only ever been to a few, and what few she had been to were silly and mad. But she had found a very pretty black dress that fit her perfectly, with shoes to match. However, she couldn't find a mask that fit, all of them meant for older, bigger faces.

She gazed over the selection of food, taking a cupcake here, a couple of chocolate-covered strawberries, and whatever else tickled her fancy. She didn't know what they were celebrating, but Alice wasn't complaining.

However, Alice also wasn't entirely paying attention as she reached out for a petit four only for her hand to bump into someone else's. "Oh, ah I beg your pardon," she pulled her hand back.
