Disclaimer- I do not own anything disney related except for this story and my characters
A/N - I just updated the first chapter to change a few details. I've started working on the 5th chapter and hopefully I'll have it up soon. Thanks!
Around, around, around I spin. Will the Mad Hatter ever stop his tea party?
A young woman opens her eyes to see a turning pole, with a spinning disk on top.
Wait, Mad Hatter's Tea Party?
Quickly the girl sits up and blinks the blurry sleep from her eyes.
She notices she's in a giant teacup, spinning around with other teacups.
"Oh yeah, I forgot I was at Disneyworld." She murmured
Spinning around she noticed there was no one else except me on the ride. Usually this ride was packed.
And usually she was trying to keep her hair from flying into her face.
She reaches up to her head and feels . . . nothing.
"I'M BALD!?" She shrieks
Why? Who-who shaved off my hair?
"Who ever did this is going to taste their own ass when I'm done with them!" She growled in anger
"Well why ever would someone do that?"
What?
Looking behind her she saw the top of the teapot in the middle wasn't empty anymore, the Mad Hatter and March Hare was sitting on it. They were sipping tea and eatting jammed toast on precariously perched chairs, with a covered table in between them that was also at an odd angle, completely covered in various teapots, cups, sweets and jelly jars.
The girl stands up holding onto the spinning disk.
"Are you the ones who put me here!?" She asked
They ignored her.
"OY, HATTA!" She called out
"Ugh, what vulgar lang-gu-age!"cried Hatter
"Someone with a tone like that should not be welcome at our tea party!" proclaimed the Hare
"Or at any party for that matter."
Sighing, she spins around a few more times, then sits down.
"Mister Hatter." She called in her sweetest voice
"Yeeeessss?" He responded looking over at her
"May you please tell me where I am?" she asked
The Hatter slammed down his cup onto the table makeing the others clatter. Then with the Hare they lifted the table, and jumped off the tea pot. She watched in awe as they jump up high enough for the Hatter's hat to touch the ceiling. Then her awe turned to absolute horror as she watched them fall to the earth at her.
"Holy SHIT!" She screamed covering her head as she curled into fetal position on the bench
"Tsk, tsk, tsk again with the vulgar lang-gu-age." said the Hatter
She opened her eyes, and they grew in shock as ahe saw the table in the middle of the cup covering the disk. Her mouth hung open as she also noticed there were no stains on the covering. Not a drop of anything had been spilled.
The hare brought his fist down onto a knife that was in a jam jar, and made the jam fly at the girl. The Hatter blocked it from hitting her with a piece of toast and as soon as he did he shoved it into her open mouth.
"Now, ruffian you had a question for me?" said the Hatter pouring a three spouted tea pot
"Hurghfle" she said covering her mouth trying to swallow the toast
"What!? Now don't be rude girl!" cried the Hare wagging a butter cover knife
She finally swallowed the toast, only to have another stuffed in as soon as she opened her mouth.
"What is your question?" asked the Hatter
The girl pulled on the toast amd managed to get some of it out without her saliva on it. Swallowing the rest she finnally got to ask her question.
"Where am I?"
"Why my dear, you're in Disneyland!" said the Hatter eating some toast
"But where is everybody? And how do you exist?"
"That is very simple my dear, you are in a different dimension."
Her eyebrow rose.
"A different . . . dimension?"
"Yes. You know how Disneyworld is supposed to be the most magical place on Earth?"
She nodded.
"Well we wouldn't have that magic if no one had believed in us or have the ability to remember the joy they had as a dreaming child."
"So you exist because of this magic?"
"INDEED!" cried the Hare "This whole dimension is because of peoples dreams. It all started with Walt and Oswald."
"Oh I know him." Smiled the girl
"You doooo?" said the Hatter
"Yeah! He was Walts first creation."
"Not many know that! Well as I was saying, it's because of the two of them that this all came into existance."
"Yes, yes. Because of the children that had seen Oswald, and Mickey their dreams started to meld together and created a place where all of Walt Disneys creation's could exist."
"Wow. But how did I get here?"
"Well sometimes you humans can get through to this demension, but only if you have some magic."
"Magic?"
"Yes! Every human so far that came here had a power of their own." said the Hare
"Do you know what yours is?"
"Nope."
"Pity."
The girl finished the toast from before and looked around.
"Is there any chance you could stop the ride? I would like to get off." she said
The Hatter and Hare looked at her with expressionless faces.
"I'm sorry but we cannot allow you to get off." said the Hatter in a monotonous tone
She was surprised by the sudden change of character, and got that feeling that something was horribly wrong.
"Why can't I get off?" she asked
"Our lord told us to keep you here until he comes to fetch you." said the Hare
"Who is your lord?"
"We cannot tell."
"Well, thankyou for the absolutely wonderful company . . . but I must be going."
She grabbed onto the edge of the tea cup and jumped out before the two of them could grab her.
"NO ONE LEAVES THE TEA PARTY!" She heard someone shriek from above.
A huge brown dormouse dropped in front of her and swiped at her. She could see it's bloodshot eyes look at her in maniacal anger. The Dormouse's pink and purple coat was ripped up, dirty, and covered in cobwebs, as if it had been sitting up there for years and never came down. There were also large bald patches in the Dormouse's fur, and scratch marks.
What is wrong with him?
The Dormouse jumps at her and she screams as she runs away from him, almost getting hit by a tea cup.
As she ran from the Dormouse she saw the Hatter and Hare on top of the teapot, pulling on random levers, making the tea cups move faster and producing blades to come out of the teacup saucers.
At that moment she was less worried about getting out and more worried about keeping her feet attached to the rest of her body.
Okay, be calm girl. It's just like a friendly game of dodgeball, with fast blades trying to cut my feet off, to make it a bit more interesting. Yeah that's it. More . . . interesting.
One of the teapots that they threw hit her in the back, making her buckle forward and get slashed.
She screamed as she felt the blade slash through her ankle, and making a last desperate attempt she jumped onto the tea saucers, and held onto the edge of the cup. She was losing her grip until she finally willed herself to pull forward, and fall onto the cup bench.
Suddenly the cups made a quick stop, making her fall to the bottom of the cup.
Tears of frustration and pain leak out of her eyes and fall into her ears, muffling every sound except for her own whimpering. Outting her arm over her eyes she couldn't see the Dormouse jump onto the edge of the cup, and look at her ankle.
"WE GOT 'ER ANKLE!" He schreeched
The girl jumped and gasped in pain as the Dormouse grabbed her ankle and lifted it up over the edge for the other two to see.
"P-please, let me go!" The girl cried
The Dormouse just lifted her higher, putting her in an even more uncomfortable position.
From the girls position she saw four white gloved hands attached to springs, grab her foot and leg, then tightly wraps a light green bandage around her foot and all the way up to her knee, binding her ankle and keeping it in place.
When the hands let go of her she fell back to the floor of the cup.
"Shouldn't you be asleep?" she asked the Dormouse
"SLEEP!? WHO NEEDS SLEEP!? I DON'T! THE LORD MADE ME WATCHER OF THE NEVERENDING TEA PARTY! SO I MUST NOT SLEEP!" He shrieked
A few more tears slipped from her eyes.
"What a rotten un-birthday to me." she said curling up into a little ball
She felt the Dormouse jump off and go somewhere and the cup started to rotate again, but at the moment she didn't care where he went.
After a few seconds of just sitting curled up like a ball, she heard the Hatter speak to her from the same cup.
"Gale?"
She looked up at him in surprise and noticed a plate of jammed toast and tea.
"H-how do you know my name?"
He looked at her once again with an emotionless face, then jumped away to return to his spot on the teapot.
She looked at the tea and toast, and even though she loved tea and hasn't had it in a long while, she just left it wondering why it wasn't spilling all over the place. She brought herself up to sit on the bench.
As she sucked in a deep breath and felt herself turn and swirl with the ride, for a split second her mind played a memory of a little voice long gone.
"Gale, I'm too excited to sleep. Can you sing me a lullaby? I always fall asleep when you sing."
"I'll sing you a song little Vail, I need a little pick-me up." She whispered aloud
A gentle breeze from Hushabye Mountain
Softly blows o'er Lullaby Bay
It fills the sails of boats that are waiting
Waiting to sail you worries away
It isn't far to Hushabye Mountain
And your boat waits down by the key
The winds of night so softly are sighing
Soon they will fly your troubles to sea
So close your eyes on Hushabye Mountain
Wave goodbye to cares of the day
And watch your boat from Hushabye Mountain
Sail far away from Lullaby Bay
Gale smiled and wiped away the rest of the tears. As the teacup turned she faced forward and looked at the teapot. She was in shock when she realized that they weren't drinking tea or eating toast. They were asleep!
Quickly she looked up at the Dormouse and she saw it sleeping on a beam above the teapot.
"W-what?"
Is my power singing?
Taking the chance, she jumped out of the teacup once again. Limping, she tried to go as quickly as she could off and away from the ride. Checking over her shoulder every few seconds to make sure they were still asleep.
It wasn't until she got halfway to 'Dumbo the Flying Elephant' that she stopped for a breather. She looked back at the 'Mad Tea Party', and smiled.
"Well if I'm not the only human here, I might as well try and find them." She said to herself
Gale turned away from the 'Mad Tea Party' and walked forward, unaware about the adventure that was about to unfold.
Mickey appears next to me as I finish the chapter.
Me - (O_O) What in heck are you doing here?
Mickey - Hoho! I heard you made a story with me and all my friends! I bet me and Gale fight side by side against the evil, right?
Me - (gulp) Welp that's the beginning of my story! I hope you enjoyed it! Leave a review if you liked it!
Mickey - Who are you talking to?
Me - NO ONE!
