Alice is Back

Her chocolatly eyes shot open as she realized she did not know where she was. Slowly sitting up, she rubbed her aching head and tried to take in her surroundings. Checking for any injuries she found only her head hurt, probably from laying on the hard ground.

After smoothing down her icy blue dress and straightening it to where it hung just above her knee a soft breeze tickled her nose with the wonderous aroma of fresh wild flowers. Fluffing her long, golden, straight hair and repositioning the thin black headband that kept it out of her face, she could have sworn she heard someone calling her name.

"Alice! Alice!" That was her name all right but who was calling her?

Frantically scanning all around her, all Alice could see was an adorable white rabbit. Looking closer, she noticed the rabbit seemed to be wearing a waist coat the color of the grass he was hopping on.

"How peculiar" Alice mumbled to herself.

Taking a closer look around her, Alice found the source of the mesmerizing scent. There was a patch of colorful flowers all bending gently in the breeze and a very strange caterpillar lounging on a mushroom in the middle of them.

Just as Alice stood up and started towards the flowers she heard her name again. This time it was louder and far more urgently shouted than before.

"Alice! Alice! Over here Alice! Can't you see me?"

Whipping her head around, all Alice could see was the white rabbit hopping and leaping in front of her eyes, pleading for her attention.

"Was that you Mr. Rabbit?" Alice asked jokingly and giggling at the thought of how absurd such a notion would be back home.

"Quite right, Alice! Now you must follow me! The Hatter needs you!"

Alice's laughter stopped short at the sound o the rabbits voice. He was standing on his hind legs and talking to Alice. In English. Complete with a British accent and everything. And he was wearing a waistcoat. Alice had no idea on what to think. Sensing Alice's shock and confusion, he began talking to her gently and calmly, trying to understand why it was she was reacting to him that way. It's not like this is the first time they've ever met.

"Alice. You are Alice, right?"

Alice just nodded her head, unsure of what to do.

"Now Alice, do you know who I am?" the rabbit's voice was soft but unsure, almost like he didn't want to know the answer.

Snapping back into reality Alice nearly shouted, "Why of course silly! Your a white rabbit."

"Thank goodness for that! I feared that you had forgotten about Underland again! That would have been terrible! Now the Hatter really must see you! Important matters to discuss."

He turned on his heel and sprinted off over some rolling green hills speckled with the most peculiar flowers Alice has ever seen.

However there was no time to stop and sniff the flowers for the rabbit was already far ahead of Alice.

"Oh Mr. Rabbit! Please slow down! I cannot keep up with you!"

Alice raced to catch up with him, all the while trying to process what it was the rabbit had actually said. What does he mean that she had 'forgotten them again'? Alice has never met a rabbit in a waist coat, let alone one that talks too!

And who was this 'Hatter' he was taking her to see? She has met many hatters but the white rabbit made it seem like his name was actually just 'the Hatter'.

To top it all off, the rabbit had said they were in a place called 'Underland'. Surely that is not in England, not even in all of Europe. She would know of such a place. So where was she?

And why does the talking rabbit need to take her to see a hat maker to discuss important business. Alice's head just got filled with more and more questions and the rabbit swore he could hear her say,

"Curiouser and curiouser. "
