My attempts to put this on DA failed, so you get to see it in here, instead. This is something I have been working on for quite some time and recently finished, so you should be seeing updates on it soon. ^^
If, after you have read a few chapters of this, you would like to make me a poster/cover picture for it, that would be awesome.
Enjoy. ^^

Chapter One: Down The Rabbit-Hole
It was a lovely day, but ten-year-old Mihael Keehl was beginning to get bored as he listened to his private tutor drone on and on about history. As he absentmindedly pet his cat, not really listening, he saw something that made his eyes widen a bit and he sat up. "What was that?"
"Was what?" The tutor looked over. "Mihael, have you been listening?"
"That...rabbit!" He stood up and ran into the woods, in the direction it had gone.
"Mihael! Mihael, get back here!" She called.
Mihael ran on until he reached a clearing, and then sighed, seeing he'd lost it. "Oh well." He flopped down on the ground, still holding his cat. "Maybe I imagined it." He looked up at the sky. "Hey, Dinah..." He grinned. "If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense." He sat up, looking over at the direction he'd come from. "Not sensible, like my nanna. Utter nonsense." He grinned. "Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't."
The cat yawned and curled up in the grass.
Mihael chuckled. "And in contrary wise, what it is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?" He pet the cat fondly and then gasped, seeing a flash of white in the trees. "Oh, the rabbit!" He quickly stood up and ran after it again. "Wait up. Mr. Rabbit!"
The rabbit stopped for a bit, his ears and nose twitching, and then he darted away as soon as Mihael got close. What was most peculiar to the boy, however, was that the rabbit had pulled out a pocket-watch from its jacket and seemed to be checking the time. A curious sight.
Mihael followed it all the way to a large tree with a small hole at the base, but he just couldn't see the rabbit anywhere!
"Mr. Rabbit?" He knelt down by the hole, looking in. "Where are you?" He reached down a hand, feeling around in the dark. "Mr. Rabbit?" He could feel the loose dirt under him, but it didn't concern him - he wasn't that heavy, after all.
Suddenly, the loose dirt gave and he gasped as he fell in head-first. "Ahhhh!"
All around him were strange objects, pianos and vases, picture-frames and doors, and he looked around in wonder as his fall begin to slow and he seemed to be floating down. "Curious..." He said, looking around as he slowly turned so his head was pointed up. As he lowered, he looked up and saw the tiny hole up above. "How far have I fallen? And where is the rabbit?" He looked down below him as he neared the bottom.
As he looked down, he could see a white figure standing over by a table, but then it was gone again!
"Ohh, that rascal of a rabbit…" Mihael pouted as he lowered to the floor and looked around. "Hmmm...where is that rabbit?" He walked around the room, which only had a table with a bottle on it - and a tiny little door. He knelt down and looked through the keyhole. "Mr. Rabbit...?"
As he peeked through the keyhole, he could see a beautiful garden outside, but no sign of the little creature he'd been pursuing! He frowned and stood up, looking around. "I can't fit there..." He blinked and walked over to the bottle, picking it up. "...'Drink me'?" He shrugged and opened it, taking a gulp before closing it. "Huh. Nothing happ-huh?!"
As he spoke, the room suddenly begin to get larger around him, and he looked around in surprise as it finally stopped growing. "What...I'm...so small!" He smiled and laughed a bit, running over to the door and trying the knob. "Nn...what the?" He frowned, trying it again. "Ohh...it's locked..." He looked around the room, hoping to find any sign of a key.
He spotted the key through the bottom of the glass table and ran over to it, trying to climb up the table leg. "Oof!" He groaned as he slipped to the floor and looked around. "Well, now I'm small and can't reach it..." He sighed.
He looked around for a ladder or something, but only found a cake as big as him. Frowning, he walked over and stood next to it. "What a big cake...where did it come from?" He looked it over. "There's no fork, so I can't use that to climb up...too small, anyway." He sighed and looked around. "This is so weird..." He looked at the cake again and reached out, taking a piece off. "Well, maybe just a bit won't hurt. I am a bit hungry." He started to eat the piece.
Suddenly, to his surprise, the room around him begin to shrink. He gasped and quickly grabbed the bottle and key as he grew, holding them both close. "Wow...that's some crazy cake..."
He slowly looked around and sighed. "Well, now the door's too small..." He looked at the bottle. "...Small." He slowly undid the cap and brought the bottle to his lips, dumping the contents in. Then he waited for the shrinking to happen, and happen it did.
As he held on tightly to the key, which was growing in size compared to him, he slowly moved over to the door, until he was in front of it. Before he had fully shrunken, he jammed the key in and turned it, and by the time he had finished shrinking he was dangling from it. Letting out a sigh, he let himself drop from the key and turned the knob, stepping out.
Outside, it was just like he had seen it before. There was a beautiful garden surrounding him, and he smiled as he walked out among the flora. He could see butterflies as big as he was currently flying around above him and he let out a giggle as he ran through the tall grass, looking around. "Wow! This place is beautiful!" He spun around in a circle, then blinked and looked over as he heard the sound of someone running. "Mr. Rabbit, is that you?"
The running creature stopped and Mihael saw that it seemed to be a white-haired boy dressed in a uniform of some kind with white rabbit ears and a twitching tail. The boy pulled out a pocket-watch and then looked at Mihael, mouthing words he couldn't hear, before he darted off again.
"Hey, wait! Come back!" Mihael got up and dashed after the white-haired boy. He'd never been so excited by anything as much as this excited him, and when he lunged to pounce the stranger, he hit him with all his weight, knocking him down. "Gotcha!"
"Oof!" The white-haired boy let out a huff as he was crushed, and then gave Mihael a mean gray-eyed look. "Unf. Get off."
"Hey, pretty bunny. Need some help?" A voice said as laughter was heard in the trees.
"Huh?" Mihael slowly got up and dusted himself off, blinking.
