Kingdom Hearts χ
In search of Alice's whereabouts, the Cheshire Cat directs Player to see the Mad Hatter and the March Hare. Arriving in their garden, Player discovers the pair about to celebrate their unbirthday. When the March Hare notices Player, they proclaim that there are no seats available and thus Player could not join them. However, when Player prepares to leave, the Mad Hatter and the March Hare offer them to stay for a cup of tea.

Player agrees to join them, and the two friends give them a cup that the Mad Hatter fills with sugar. The Mad Hatter realizes that there is more sugar for him and the March Hare, and asks Player to pick up two cups of sugar, as well as butter and jam. After Player returns with the items, the Mad Hatter and March Hare begin the tea party, only to realize they were already celebrating their unbirthday before Player even arrived. Realizing how much time they lost with waiting for Player to return, they force Player to leave, resuming their party.

Shortly before Data-Sora arrives in Wonderland, Data-Alice spotted the world's Keyhole in the court of the Data-Queen of Hearts, but was forced to flee from her soldiers, in the process stumbling upon the unbirthday tea party hosted by the Data-Mad Hatter and Data-March Hare. Her memories of this event, among others, were scattered by the bugs affecting Jiminy's Journal and became Inklings.

Data-Sora finds the Inklings regarding the Data-Mad Hatter and unbirthday tea party in the Tea Party Garden, and uses them alongside the others he has found to piece together Data-Alice's memories of the Keyhole.
