It was in the morning hours of the day. The sun has risen halfway into the sky. There was a small round table in the middle of a garden of white roses. The flowers were not yet in full bloom, but their sweet scent filled the air. The weather was fair; only a slight breeze blew through the garden. On the table was a teacup sat at each seat. Each cup was filled with orange tea. The scene was so quiet that one could hear a rose petal land into a cup of tea. The table had four chairs and three of them were occupied. In the seat towards the sun sat a huge teddy bear that was three times the size as Anii. The bear had short brown fur and his butt was quite obviously too big for the chair. The bear wore a black top hat with a grey ribbon around the bottom just above the lip. Tucked into the ribbon was a card. The card was the size of an average playing card and it said 10/6. His shadow stretched across the table to the chair on the other side. In this chair sat a stuffed brown rabbit. Its left ear pointed straight into the air, while the other flopped down and covered its one eye. In the chair to the left of the rabbit sat Anii. Anii sat perfectly still with her eyes shut as if she was asleep. She wore a light blue dress with a matching ribbon in her hair. Her hair was pink and it flowed down her head and gently kissed her shoulders. Thanks to a bit of make up her skin was pale as a freshly winter snow with cheeks as red as holly. To anybody that would pass by, they would think of her as a doll. She breathed ever so softly that one would not even notice. Her hands held each other and lay on her lap. Her legs were crossed and dangled an inch off the ground. Time seemed to move slowly as the tea party waited for another guest to appear. On the table in front of the empty seat laid a letter. The envelope was sealed with a kiss and perfumed with lavender. Within the envelope was an invitation to the tea party now going on. The invitation was hand written in red ink and on the bottom was Anii’s signature. On top of the letter sat a little mouse figurine as a paper weight. The piece was jade and stood on its hind legs. Its thin tail wrapped around its waist. Its forefeet were pressed together as if it was praying. Its head was bowed, eyes closed shut and ears laid flat against its head.
