Alright here's another fanfic from a different genre. It combining components of all the different Alice in Wonderland movies and books out there. I don't own any of the characters. Hope you enjoy. Review and let me know if you like it, or not, either way the more feedback I get the more I'll know what to do :)
What if Alice had never left Wonderland? What if it hadn't been a dream? Jez let out a heavy sigh as she stopped writing. She looked out the window at the beautiful day knowing she was still trapped inside for a number of hours. She admired how the green leaves danced in the soft breeze, amazed how very green they actually were. She imagined how the sun would be warming her skin if she were laying outside at that very moment, a smile spreading across her lips. Her attention was drawn to the corner of the bushes by some movement. Jez leaned forward staring at the spot she had thought the movement had occurred. Nothing happened. She was about to dismiss it when suddenly the bush shook again this time Jez could see a white cotton ball tail sticking out. Jez watched in shock as a white rabbit in a plaid waistcoat backed out of the bushes checking his pocket watch. Jez's eyes went wide and she rubbed her eyes. When she looked back the rabbit was gone. Jez shook her head sure she had been imagining things. "He's running late again of course," a deep voice said beside her. She spun around looking for who was there. No one was there. Jez shook her head. "I'm losing my mind," she said to herself. "Better you're mind then your head," the voice said. Jez jumped up knocking her chair over. "Who said that?" She demanded. "I did. Down here," the voice replied. Jez looked down to where the voice had come from. There on the desk sat a blue caterpillar.
Jez shook her head. "No way. This is impossible," she said. The caterpillar shook its head. "Quite the contrary. This is very possible for if it were not then I would not be here," he pointed out. Jez stared at the caterpillar. "Is this a dream?" She asked it though she hadn't the faintest idea why she asked him. The caterpillar took a drag from a pipe. He chuckled letting out small puffs of smoke. "Not in the slightest. For neither you nor I are sleeping," he replied. Jez fixed the chair and sat back down. "You're from Wonderland," she said leaning down so that her face was on level with the caterpillars. He crawled closer to her nose. "So are you," he told her.
Jez rolled her eyes sitting back. "This is ridiculous," she exclaimed. "All things are ridiculous to those who do not understand them," the caterpillar advised. Jez looked out the window and again nearly fell off the chair when the white rabbit hopped up tapping the pocket watch. He continued jumping up and down tapping the watch. Afraid of someone catching her losing her mind she jumped up and slammed the doors to the room. She rubbed her temples in thought. She pulled open the window. "Will you stop that jumping and get in here," she snapped. The rabbit hopped in and stood beside the caterpillar. He gave a curt nod of acknowledgement to him then tapped the watch again. "You're late," he announced. Jez put her hands on her hips and frowned at him. "Tap it one more time and I'll smash it," she warned. The rabbit's eyes went wide and she shoved the watch back in his pocket.
"What exactly am I late for?" Jez asked. The caterpillar continued to puff on his pipe. "Depends on who you ask. Askt the Hatter and he'll tell you that you're late for tea. Ask the Queen she'll tell you you're late for croquet. Ask the dormouse and you're late for a nap. It's all in who you ask," the rabbit rattled off. "Well I'm asking you," Jez pointed out. The rabbit looked at the caterpillar almost unsure of an answer. "For your eye opener," the caterpillar replied. Jez studied him confused. "My eye opener?" She questioned. The rabbit nodded. The caterpillar crawled over to the paper and tapped it with his pipe. "This 'Alice in Wonderland' is just a story," he explained. Jez stared at him in disbelief. "Then how do you explain the two of you?" She asked thinking herself very smart. "How do you explain you?" The caterpillar contended. Jez frowned, she couldn't argue that. When she didn't interrupt again the caterpillar continued. "You are from Wonderland. Though it is not exactly like that fanatical story. The girl was young and chose what she wished to see," the caterpillar explained. Jez raised an eyebrow at him. "Get to the point caterpillar before you turn into a butterfly," she urged. "You're late for your return to Wonderland. You aren't from here," he said with a frown.
Jez sat down confused. "How can I be from Wonderland? I don't remember it," she said more to herself. "You wouldn't. You're mother was from Wonderland. She fell through a looking glass when she was pregnant with you. When she fell she hit her head forgetting all about Wonderland. But you are a Wonderlander and you need to return home," the caterpillar explained. The rabbit made a move to reach in his pocket and Jez glared at him. "Take out the watch and I'll make myself a lucky rabbit foot," she warned. The rabbit leaned towards the caterpillar and without looking away from Jez, spoke out of the corner of his mouth. "Are you sure she's not the Red Queen's daughter?" He asked. The caterpillar shook his head certain. "What about my mother and father?" Jez asked not even bothering to ask about the Red Queen. The caterpillar puffed on his pipe. "You're earth father isn't from Wonderland and Wonderland is lost to your mother. But you need to return to where you belong," he informed her. Jez sank back in her chair the weight of this news settling on her.
The rabbit turned away to check his watch. He shrieked and leapt into the air. He turned to face Jez then thought better of it and faced the caterpillar instead. He tapped the face of the watch. "We're late. Later then late," he exclaimed. The caterpillar nodded thoughtfully. "So we are. Come Jez we must be on our way. The Queen expects you for tea along with the Hatter. There's no better time then the current. Though years past would have been just as well," he added thoughtfully. In a daze Jez got up and followed the caterpillar and rabbit out the window. If she were dreaming she'd wake up soon enough. In the meantime she might as well entertain her imagination. They made their way over to the bush Jez had seen the white rabbit behind. Behind the bush was a small discarded pocket mirror. Jez raised an eye brow at it. "Shouldn't there be a rabbit hole somewhere to fall down?" She asked. The caterpillar shook it's head annoyed. "That book. You're in for an awakening long over due if you base you're expectations of Wonderland on that book," he told her. "Now touch the looking glass so we can take you home," he instructed. Just before she touched the glass Jez thought of something and pulled her hand back. "Is the Hatter truly mad?" She asked. "Oh most certainly," the rabbit replied pushing her from behind and throwing her off balance. She reached forward to catch herself and put her hand on the glass. Instead of stopping her she fell right through the glass headfirst.
