Have you ever wished to go somewhere unreal? That would fulfill your everyday girly thoughts? You know, be whisked away by a knight in shining armor? Heh, this is unusual for me to think about it this way. Especially for a brash boyish girl like me. I don't even know how I thought about this.

I lost my family. I lost my limbs. I lost the courage to go any further. I used to hid away my gender and go to an all boys school because the girls school was too expensive, plus there wasn't any public schools.

I ran away from home, to get away from that man who was supposed to be my father. I ran away with my younger brother, but he died from an accident. That accident caused me my leg and arm. I knew two mechanics, a good friend and her grandmother, who gave me auto-mail limbs. I promised her that I would come back so that we could run the shop together. Our childish promise is now broken.

I'm sorry Winry, Pinako, I couldn't keep my promise. I'm sorry Al; you have been a good brother to me. If only I have been a better sister. If only I hadn't been so arrogant to our dad who tried giving us happiness when Mom died. I was so full with hate and sorrow and I pushed it all against that old geezer.

Al, if you were still breathing, I would tell you how much I loved you and how proud I was to have you as a brother. If only I could tell you how much gratitude I had when you stuck by my side. You never left me even when I was self-centered.

I lost everything now. I didn't even contact my friends and even geezer before I'm gone. I took a painful breath. If I had the chance to live just this once, I would ask geezer what my real name was. My girl name.

I reached my arm out to the light that hovered over me. I spread my fingers and tried to grasp it. Warm tears ran out of the corners of my eyes and wetted the lobes of my ears.

"Miss Elric, are you prepared?" said a masculine voice. I didn't look away from the light to the doctor. I smiled.

"Yes," I whispered. "I am."

"I'm sorry for this," he murmured.

I closed my eyes. Al, I'm coming for you!

"Pull the plug, now," ordered the doctor.

I took my last breath. Today, I died.

"Hey, hey! Wake up!"

I groaned. My head felt groggy. I forced my sleepy eyes to open, then squinted from the blazing light. I tried to sit up from the grassy ground underneath me. Then froze.

My eyes immediately widened in shock. I gasped and looked up to see a boy squatting in front of me. I yelled and scooted back.

"W-where the hell am I?" I shouted.

I looked around my surroundings, able to catch every glimpse of it even though I was turning my head with shocking speed. I seem to be in a forest. The trees had signs of every color nailed on the trunks in random positions. There were even doors, big or small, nailed on.

The boy gave a mused smirk. "My, my, looks like I won't be bored after all," he purred.

I felt a shiver run down my spine. I paled. This guy, he's a weirdo! He was deathly pale with black hair with green tints that were long and spiked. He wore a striped black and green long sleeved shirt that was tattered and ripped. He wore tight cargo pants with silver chains that hung loosely out of his pockets, combat shoes, and a black color that had a golden chain. What's more, he had piercings on his lip and his eyebrow! This guy is a delinquent!

Grr, I don't do well with delinquents! I usually beat the crap out of them, then go to detention center. This is why I stopped going to school. I always run into trouble there. I bit my bottom lip and scowled.

He gave a crooked grin. "Now, scowling will ruin that pretty face of yours, dear," he said with a sickly sweet tone.

I glared at him. "W-who the hell are you? Where am I? And…why am I wearing a dress!"

I was wearing a simple blue dress with white ruffles inside. I had a white apron on and a pair of knee length socks. Plus I even had a blue bow on my non-braided hair. Gosh, I feel like a three-year-old! I blushed and tumbled to stand up, but I couldn't keep my balance since I was wearing black dress shoes! Gah! How did I get into this outfit!

He shrugged nonchalantly. "I don't know, I just found you laying unconscious here. And who I am is pretty much for you to guess," he said with a teasing tone.

I cursed under my breath. What am I doing here? The last time…I died, didn't I? What is this place anyway? Is this what heaven look like?

I looked then noticed something strange on top the boy's head. Two black cat ears…? And…a black tail…on is butt.

"You-you have cat things on you!" I shouted, pointing at him in an obnoxious manner.

"Well, no duh, Captain Obvious. I am the Cheshire Cat, after all," he said.

"Cheshire…Cat? Y-you're a cat?"

The ears on his head had earrings, several of them. His tail was lashing. I shook my head as I tried to massage my temple.

"Yes I am. Can't see the ears and the tail?" he mocked.

I glared at him. "Shut it freak! There is no way that someone could have cat ears and tail! There is no way. Unless…I'm dreaming," I mumbled the last part.

"Wow, you really aren't from here. What's your name, sweetie?" he asked.

His feline purple gazed into mine, giving away a sly look. I blushed as I regrettably gritted my teeth. "As if I would give it away to a weirdo like you! Go away!" I snapped.

Then he grabbed me. His fingerless-gloved hands wrapped around my waist, forcing me to stand up with him. He smirked. "You're pretty short. How old are you? 12?"

"I'M NOT SHORT! I'M 15, DAMMIT!" I shouted.

His ears flinched as he frowned. "Hey, not so loud. I have sensitive ears, shrimp," he hissed.

This just provoked me even further. I pushed him away from me. "I am not a shrimp," I said dangerously.

"Oh, I see someone is sensitive about her height. Why, you're as tall as a stump," he teased.

That's it! I snapped. I plunged forward, attempting to punch him right in the face. But something happened. He caught it. Then he twisted my arm, causing me to turn around. Then he groped behind me. I furiously flushed.

"You're a violent one. I like it," he whispered in my ear. I was blushing too hard to even move or talk.

"What's your name? Then I'll let go of you," he continued.

"E-Edward," I stammered.

I felt his face, that was dug into the back of my neck, turn to a surprised look. "You're a boy?"

I angrily jabbed him into the gut, making him let go of me. I swiftly turned to him and glared. "I'm a girl! My ass-holed old geezer wouldn't even tell me my real name!" I shouted.

He looked at me for a silent moment, then laughed. I was startled. "That's hilarious! You even have the personality of a man, shrimp," he said.

"I'M NOT A SHRIMP!"

"But why not? I like shrimps, they're so tasty," he purred, licking his lips in a seductive manner.

I squeaked and blushed. I took a step back. Then he laughed again. "Gosh, you're so easy to tease!" he laughed.

I gawked and marched angrily past him. What a jerk! He is always making fun of me! And I don't even know who the hell he is! Then a furry tail looped around my arm. I looked to see the boy tilting his head.

"What's the matter? Don't want to play anymore?" he said.

"Go away, cat! I don't want to be with a weirdo and stranger like you!" I barked.

He pouted. "Ah, that hurts!" he pretended. "And just to let you know, my name is Envy. I'm one of the Deadly Sins, nice to meet you."

"D-Deadly Sins?" I repeated, raising an eyebrow.

"That's right, shrimp. We Sins are the danger here in Wonderland. It's a good thing I find you too interesting to kill," he mused.

I narrowed my eyes. "Okay, one: don't call me shrimp. Two: I don't care who the hell you are. Three: your name is stupid. And four: I don't have time for this. I have to go back. Wait, did you say Wonderland?"

"Yeah, this is Wonderland. You're a immigrant, are you?"

Wonderland? You mean to tell me that this place is Wonderland? The place where that fictional Alice character who followed a rabbit and fell into a hole and nearly got killed by that psychopath queen? That Wonderland? No way. That can't be it! There is no possible way! That just goes against all laws of science. There isn't such thing as a fantasy realm full of strange creatures. But there is this Envy guy. He even said that he was the Cheshire Cat. Could it be possible?

"You look troubled," coolly commented Envy.

Wonderland or not, I cant stay here. I just can't. I need to get back home. "Can you tell me how I can get out of this place?" I asked.

"And why should I, shrimp?" he said, giving me a mocking smirk.

I cursed under my breath. "I am not a shrimp! If you want to keep your cat ass, then don't call me small! And I need to get back home because…because I need to continue a promise. I never even got the chance to talk to everyone," I mumbled.

I was glaring at the grass below. I waited for his answer. Then I heard him sigh. "Well, I don't even know how. I guess the only way you can get back is to go to either the King of Hearts or the Clock Keeper."

"Huh?"

He sighed again and put a hand on his waist. "Don't make me repeat it again, shrimp. The King of Hearts is the ruler of this country. The Clock Keeper holds high history and intelligence."

I nodded, ignoring the fact that this ass just called me the forbidden word, AGAIN. "So where is this King and Keeper?" I asked.

"All you have to do is keep going straight. That's all I can tell you."

"Gee, you're such big help," I grumbled.

"Well, I hope that you don't go back. I like you too much," he said.

"Too bad. I don't."

He grinned. "Well, we will meet again. Later shrimp."

"Quit calling me that! You can call me Ed!" I said.

"Hmm, nah, I told you, I like shrimps."

Then he vanished. What I recalled from earlier, in the book, the Cheshire Cat had the ability to shape shift. I have to be more alert and careful. If I'm going to this King and Keeper, than I'm going to face obstacles.

I set foot and started my journey.

Then stopped. That's when I just noticed that my leg and arm were flesh and blood.

"WHAT THE HELL!?"
