Hello there, I'm piper fell in the rabbithole , the writer for this fan fic.
I was walking thru Greenbelt 3 park and I was struck by the idea that, what if a Dalton by CP Coulter and GLEE fan fell thru a rabbit hole here and was thrown in Daltonverse. Will there be changes to the story? What will the fan do as he watches the events unfold before his eyes?
Rabbit Hole will try to start at the Pilot: Windsor house chapter of Dalton by CP Coulter. It would try to follow Dalton's events thru the eyes of a fan.
I don't really mind reviews, although it's okay to put in some reviews. Since this is my first writing venture in my life I think a little constructive criticism will help me a lot.
But I do hope you enjoy this as a way to pass time, or while waiting for someone or maybe even looking for something weird to read about.
Thanks a lot and I hope you enjoy it.
P.S.
Oh by the way I do not own GLEE or Dalton by CP Coulter. Because they are way to awesome for that.
Hole #1: I fell down a freakin' rabbit hole in the middle of Manila
I was walking towards Greenbelt 5 because there was a monster sale for Gucci, Louis Vuitton, and other stores.
Just to be clear I'm actually going to purchase this one necklace at Aldo but, it's not a crime to do some window shopping.
Anyway, I was going thru Greenbelt Park 3 when I saw one of the most strange/cute/weird things in my life — I saw a white rabbit in a waistcoat. I mean, to see a waistcoat worn in the Philippines is totally weird (unless your going to a ball or something) and is already out of the ordinary but an actual animal wearing clothes is something to behold. And there aren't any wild rabbits in Manila (that I know of).
The rabbit was hiding behind a bush. It appears to be looking for something or someone (Crazy, right?). At first I thought "Am I going crazy? Am I feverish?" I felt my forehead. I seemed fine so I decided to approach the rabbit.
When I was a couple of paces away it suddenly turned and scampered off. The rabbit left a fan and a pair of gloves — this scene felt oddly familiar. I picked up the things and hurried after the rabbit. Then, I saw the rabbit's waistcoat and tail disappear in a corner.
I was running like my arse was on fire because rabbits are really fast. I mean REALLY fast. I was also debating with myself if I should shout "Wait!" but, it felt awkward. And then, I suddenly saw the rabbit disappear in a rabbit hole (which is really weird because the hole was in the middle of a rock) and then there were 4 girls standing a bit to the right of the rabbit hole. Now it seems that things are going back to normal, I wish, the girls were all wearing this Greek tunic dress of some sorts.
One of them was holding the rabbit in her arms, then she suddenly turned and said "Hey I think that guy is looking at us". The tallest of them turned as well as the others and said "Oh your right Thalia, wow a mortal is looking straight at us" she looked quite amused. The other girls were giggling and were pointing at me.
Okay it was kind of annoying, so I decided to approach them and ask them if they own the fan and gloves so I went near them "Uhm Hi, do you own these gloves and this fan?" The girl called Thalia said "Well actually this rabbit owns that, Piper" she said smiling knowingly; I noticed she was wearing a Comic mask necklace. "How did you know my name?" I shockingly asked. "Well my sister Clio told us your name, and by the way I'm Euterpe" said the tallest girl she was holding a flute like instrument and she has a musical trill in her voice. "Oh and I'm Terpsichore and the girl there with a dark cloud over her is Melpomene" said the girl with a bob cut hair, she was holding a Lyre and was pointing to a girl on her right with a dark cloud. "Yup that's me and ignore the cloud I can't really get rid of it" she said smiling, which is kind of weird since she does have a dark cloud hovering in her head.
"Hi, it's nice to meet you all, but who is Clio?" I asked. "Well I think you know her, you do love to read and your one of her favorite mortal anyway" Thalia said. "Well I can't remember her name though" I said. She laughed and it was so sweet I can't help but smile.
"Anyways, I'm going to give these to you now" I said handing out the fan and gloves. "Well there's one more thing that we would like to ask. The rabbit also lost his pocket watch in this hole, could you try to reach it please" Euterpe said. "Well okay then" as I handed her the fan and gloves I carefully went near the rabbit hole.
Bending down, I tried to look a little deeper. With the support of my hands, I leaned a bit and then someone pushed me or intentionally pushed me and I tumbled in with a "Oh s&*.."
So, I was screaming my heart out because the hole seemed endless and there was a lot of things there. I mean, I thought rabbit holes were deep but I never thought it would be THIS deep. There were like antique-y things there like pianos, cabinets, and book shelves with thick tomes.
I was tumbling and tumbling down, then, a teapot hit me in the head and I was knocked out.
I woke up in a car and we were moving. At first I thought it was our car and we were going to Quezon or something. I looked out the window and the scenes were totally different.
I have kind of memorized the things that I should be seeing since we always go there (until recent issues arose, that is…). But the scenes were totally different, as in TOTALLY. From what I remember I should be seeing fields, and billboards, and also Festival Mall. My heart was beating so fast and I began to tremble. I thought that I was kidnapped and was being sent off to somewhere to be killed, or something. Then, I noticed my clothes. I was wearing a Dalton Academy coat and tie. I was shocked because first off, I am living in the Philippines (last time I checked) and am nowhere near Westerville, Ohio. And how the heck did I get in the US without my family? Secondly, Dalton Academy is like a fictional school (even though I wished it really existed). And, even if there was a school called Dalton Academy they probably won't have the same uniform. I mean, looking on what I was wearing I thought I was going to shoot a scene for GLEE (which would be a dream come true but, c'mon!).
I was starting to really, REALLY panic. Then, the person on the driver's seat turned back and I was shocked: It was my godmother. My godmother lived in US, true. But, from what I've known she lived in LA or somewhere near that.
How the heck did she get to Ohio? And, surprise, surprise — my godfather was driving the car.
"Hey there sunshine. You woke up at the right time. We're near Dalton Academy." Godmother Edna smiled as she said that.
"Uhm, yeah. But, how did I get here and what the heck is going on? I remember I was planning to go to Greenbelt since there's a Mega Sale going on, and then I followed a rabbit in a waistcoat and then I fell in to a frickin' hole and a teapot bumped my head." I asked panicky. "What are you talking about?" She looked at me like I was delirious or something.
"Your jetlag seems to be getting to you" Godfather George said, sounding amused. "Don't you remember when you asked us how the US was? We told you to try for a scholarship here as a foreign exchange student at Dalton and you were accepted. You just arrived 3 days ago and you were staying at our house and today's your first day." Godmother explained kindly.
"Oh, Okay" I just said. I mean, what was I supposed to say? I don't want them to worry. Anyway, I'll get the chance to go to Dalton. So, screw that! I'm going to enjoy this.
The car stopped at the gates. I was getting out the car. "Are you sure your okay, James?" My Edna asked, looking a bit worried. "Yeah, maybe it's just the jet lag acting up." I replied convincingly.
"Okay then here's your allowance…" she handed me like $150 and continued "…I also packed sandwiches for you and. Your mom also asked us to give you this." And she handed me a hot pink Nokia C3 as well as an iPod nano. My mouth fell open as I stared at them. "OMG! Thanks a lot! She sent all of these?" I asked, holding the gadgets. "Well, the phone — yes, But the iPod, we got that for you as a [welcome to the US] present" she said. "We've already put songs there and some other tunes that you may like. So, there you have it!" She said smiling. "I….OMG! Super thanks!" I was at a loss for words. "Now, go. Your class has started." She said and gave me a hug.
"You'd be careful now, okay? Students here are different than in the Philippines" My godfather said. "Yeah, Don't worry. Thanks a lot and take care [po]" I said. After a final wave they sped off.
I now turned to Dalton Academy and its massive gate that has this intricate Ironworks designs. I followed the queue of blazer clad boys passing through the gate. It really was a big ass school.
It was really not like the high school buildings we have in Manila where you walk in the gates — you'd see your building, you may see the court and gym and some plants and that's basically it. It was like the High school buildings I saw in movies.
Dalton really had an air of serious academic atmosphere. With its archaic architecture, ornamental gardens and walk ways and some stone benches. Kind of reminds me of University of Santo Thomas. Most of the buildings are made of red bricks and are covered by ivy, which so cool.
I was a bit lost on what to do next — so I reach inside my bag and pulled out an envelope, when I opened it and saw the acceptance letter asking to go to the Dean's office before going to classes (which stated as 7:30 am). I was trying to look for the Dean's office that would help me out.
I was seeing other boys joking around and talking. Some of them were walking in groups and some in pairs. I was the only one among the throng of people walking on my own. Some of them gave me a curious look and I smiled a bit and looked down on the ground and continued to walk.
I was getting nervous again. It was 6:30 am on my watch and I think classes start at 7:30 as said on the letter so, I was slightly panicking a bit. Also, I can't help but think that Kurt and Blaine and the other warblers were going to the same school. I mean, I am at Dalton. But another part of me was telling me they're just fictional characters and they don't, like, REALLY exist. It's really confusing.
So, I continued walking and finally I saw a sign which says "Dean's office this way" and an arrow was pointing to this big building which, I assumed, is the School building as well. Many students were making their way inside as well, so, I entered the building and then I followed the hallway until I saw the staircase where Kurt first saw Blaine. I followed a hallway after going down the stairs (which suspiciously looked like the hallway where the scene of Kurt and Blaine were shot) since this is the only spot that is kind of familiar to me.
It led me to the common room that looks a lot like the Teenage Dream scene. There were quite a few people and I was, like, standing like a tree in the middle of the doorway. I think my being lost is showing on my face. Some of the boys were looking at me curiously.
I flushed a bit and re-shouldered my bag and walked away crossing my arms to my chest. When I turned on a corner I bumped with someone so hard I fell to the ground and he staggered a bit. "OMG! (I don't why I keep using that expression) I'm really sorry I did not see you there. OMG! I'm really, really sorry. I hope you're not hurt and..." I trailed off when I suddenly looked up and saw a pair of black eyes. "No, it's okay. I was not looking where I was going as well. Here let me help you up." He was reaching out his hand and I went for the grasp. My thought was OMG WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON! Wesley Jonathan Hughes (a.k.a Wes of the Warblers or the March Hare) is helping me up.. What the fudge is going on?
Then suddenly the whole area became still and faded to black and white. Wes or Telly Leung or whatever was not moving. He seems frozen in time.
I was able to stand up, and I brushed my pants. Just to be sure that he is frozen I waved my hands on his face. Then someone let out a girlish giggle. I turned around to see the girl called Thalia in a pink Greek Tunic dress. She was wearing her Comic mask necklace again. She looks quite amused on what I was doing.
"Hey your Thalia right? You and other girls were with the white rabbit and then y'all pushed me down the hole" I said frowning a little. She laughed and said "I can see why Clio likes you; you have a very good memory".
"I don't know what's going on and I better get some type of explanation regarding this situation. And who the heck is Clio?" I said crossing my arms and tapping my feet.
"Well what do you think is happening?" she asked. "Well I don't know! That's the point of my question earlier. I mean I'm at Dalton Academy which is a school that should not exist since it was created by Ryan Murphy from GLEE and I'm seeing Wes played by Telly Leung here. I don't know what's going on I'm getting confused. I don't know if this is GLEE's Dalton academy or if it's CP Coulter's Dalton" I said.
"Well let me just check on how much I can reveal for now." she said wistfully as she unrolled a huge scroll. She was reading it intently and she was crossing things out with her finger. "Okay then well you're in CP COULTER's Dalton." she said finally.
"What do you mean IN CP COULTER's Dalton?" I asked. "It means that you are currently residing in her Daltonverse as you fans call it" she answered simply as she was staring at Wes. "That is not possible? I mean CP's Dalton is totally awesome and everything and I'm such a huge fan that I always check for the latest episode, but this can't be happening" I said flatly. My mind was totally racing and my heart was beating faster and faster.
What if these people are some psychos or they would eat me or something. "You are here right? Since we hold significant amounts of magic with regards to these things, we can make it happen" she said looking VERY amused.
"Whatever, just get me out of here I don't belong to the awesome story of CP coulter" I said. "What do you mean?" she asked curiously as she prodded Wes in the nose.
"Well because I'm not awesome at all. I'm neurotic, shy and very awkward at social events. I'm also not very expressive and stop poking Wes" I said. "Tsk Tsk Tsk.. Piper just enjoy this experience, we only give it to a few mortals" she said looking me in the eye.
"What do you mean, and please give me the full details of this situation, I feel like a broken record repeating that question" I asked feeling really annoyed. "Tell you what, you first enjoy this first day at Dalton then if you find out who we are then we'll explain everything, you clue would be what I'm wearing right now, got to run now bye" she said waving good bye and with a snap of her fingers she was gone.
"Wait, what the heck do you mean?" I said, then suddenly the colors of the surrounding returned and when I looked back at Wes he was giving me this awkward look.
"Uhm..hi" I said awkwardly. "Hi, wasn't I helping you stand up because I bumped you?" he asked. "Uh, yeah, sorry for bumping into you I was not really looking" I said feeling embarrassed and looking at my feet.
"No worries, that's fine I should be the one apologizing, I was so immersed in my French assignment" he said showing me a 3 page paper. "You new here right? I haven't seen you before?" he added. "Yeah my name's Piper Almeda" I said holding out my hand. "Wes Hughes, nice to meet you Piper, cool name by the way" he said smiling.
"Thanks, uhm do you know the way to the Dean's office? I have to go see Dean Ramsey before classes" I said. "Well your on the right hallway, just go straight and then take a left there at the end of the corridor." He said as he pointed the end of the hallway.
"Well thanks and sorry for the bumping confusion" I said as I started to walk away. "Nah it's all good, See you around, bye Piper" Wes said.
So I started to walk towards the Dean's office, I'm still not sure how this is all happening. There's a part of me that would like to get out of here but there's also a part of me that is over filled with joy I feel like exploding at anyone else that I may meet. Being a fan of all thing GLEE and Dalton I'm so excited on getting the on being here. I mean this is like a one of those Twilight Zone things that get to happen on TV and it's happening to me now. Might as well milk it for all it's worth.
As I turned the corner, I saw the door of the Dean's office; with a quick knock I opened the door. "Good morning" I said to no one in particular as I opened the door and entered the room. "Oh Hi Good morning, How can I help you?" said a woman sitting behind desk. She was wearing black blazer with a white shirt. Her shoulder length hair that's black with some brown hightlights. She has a Dalton brooch on her blazer.
"Dean Ramsey asked me to come here before classes start, I'm Piper the new student" I said. "Ah Piper Almeda right? I'm Chloe, Please sit down first, I'll just tell her you're here now" she said as she gestured on the couch.
"Okay, it's nice to meet you ma'am" I said as I sat on the couch and crossed my legs. I got that habit by imitating Kurt. I know what your thinking, I'm such huge fan that's why I imitate him, that's partly true the other part is that I feel powerful when crossing my legs, feels like I'm the queen of the world.
After a few minutes the door opened and Chloe said "Hey Piper thank you for waiting, Dean Ramsey would like to see you now" she said gesturing me to enter the room and sitting down behind her desk.
"Thanks" I said as I got up and entered the room. Dean Ramsey was sitting behind her desk reading thru a file on her table (which could be my file). She was a trim woman in her forties, slightly on the heavy side with gray eyes and she had tied her red hair in a bun. She had a stern looking face but you could kind off tell that she's a kind lady. She looked up and said "You must be Piper, please sit down" she gestured on the cushioned chair in front of her desk.
"Thanks" I said as I sat down. "So welcome to Dalton Piper, I just wanted a word with you since this is your first day here." She said peering to me. "Okay Mrs. Ramsey" I nodded. "Well we're happy to have you here, especially after you aced the admission and scholarship exams. Although your Math skills can do some improvement, you scored very high in History and Literature which are your favorite subjects as per your admission essay" she said looking down on my file.
"Yeah" I said because I don't really know how to respond to that. "Moving on since you transferred here a bit late you may have trouble catching up with the lessons so I urge you to talk to your teachers and other students you may meet if you need help. Also please decide if your going to board the school or be a day student" she said.
"Okay ma'am, the houses here are Windsor, Stuart and Hanover right?" I asked, I just got to ask that. "Yes that is correct when you decided if ever you will board please let us know as soon as possible so that we can make that arrangement. Also since you've been granted a scholarship you must maintain a 4.5 GPA for you to keep the scholarship are we clear on that?" she asked.
"Yes ma'am" I said. Holy cow, that's a tall order and with my Math skills it would seem like a dream. But I have to achieve that since I would lose all rights to be at Dalton. "One last thing, you can join any extracurricular activities you would like. Do you have any more questions before I send you off to your classes?" she asked.
"No ma'am" I said. "Then goodbye for now and enjoy your day, please go to your class w/c if I'm not mistaken is French under Madame Saint Clair, your going to be late so please tell her that you passed by my office." she said. "Thanks Dean Ramsey and have a nice day as well" I said as I got up and went outside the office. This is going to be one tough day.
