Just a quick little idea I had in my head after reading volume 9. Not even a full story, really, but I love this manga and I cannot wait to read volume 10!
"ALICE! ALICE! WHERE ARE YOU? ITS TEA TIME, ALICE!" Carroll screamed, wandering the streets of his creation, search for the ones that could end his time there, and allow him to escape. He had, for to long, been the hatter of his insane tale, but he would destroy the entire world except for the place he stood inorder to get back to reality.
Alice, on the other hand, was running with his allies to the White Rabbit's house in order to find Mary Ann and return her name. He would be nameless, sure, but it would be worth it. 'Maybe then Carroll will end his rampage.'
Mary Ann sat in her chair, waiting. She knew the time was coming soon for the downfall of the author. But tick tock goes his clock and soon comes Alice after. "
"I'M NOT PLAYING GAMES NOW ALICE! THIS IS YOUR LAST WARNING!" Alice heard the shout, but knew it was of no use, for he would never give up his goal.
Suddenly, Cheshire appeared, blocking the group's path. "Hello, Alice." Alice growled knowingly. He suspected the cat to be playing both sides, and should has suspected from the start.
"Out of our way."
"Now, now, dear Alice, that is no way to speak to a friend, is it?"
"You know that is untrue."
"Alice, you pain me. You simply must let me join you, or our dear daddy Carroll will kill us all." The cat mocked an actress by bringing her hand to her forehead and closing her eyes, before winking at Alice and smiling wide.
"No." Alice turned to the white rabbit, the red queen, jack, and the march hare then shouted, "RUN!" The group followed his orders as Alice shot the Cheshire cat, then immediately ran after the group.
What Alice did not see or hear was a little bell wrapped around the cat's neck and a whisper of "good luck."
The group eventually made it to the white rabbit's house and the rabbit opened the door and, once everyone was inside, locked it. He then assured everyone was following and ran Alice directly to Mary Ann.
"Mary Ann, he is here for you." The rabbit bowed before the girl.
The girl smiled before responding, "Bring him to me, please." The rabbit nodded and rushed Alice to Mary Ann.
"Mary Ann, I've come to bring you back your name."
"But, Alice, you've taken such good care of it, why don't you want to keep it?" Alice shook his head.
"Because it belongs to you."
