I'll let you know right now, I basically only own the characters that aren't featured in the movie. (I don't own the verses I put just before each chapter either.) Glad that's all cleared up. Now Enjoy! =D
This is my very first fanfic ever! I didn't really spend much time on the plot, but don't hate me for it! Tell me if there are any major needs of improving!
Oh, Alice ,dear where have you been?
So near, so far, or in between?
What have you heard what have you seen?
Alice, Alice, please Alice!.......
Chapter One: Through the Screen
"Replay it," My best friend, Julia commanded, pretending to be the Red Queen.
Then added in her normal voice, "Pleeeease," then gave me a puppy-dog face.
"Well I guess…" I muttered.
I'd finally gotten a hold of the new Alice In Wonderland DVD and when Julia came to my house and saw it sitting on my desk….. Well at first we were both ecstatic, but after we'd watched it like twenty times…it didn't get boring, it just got….tiring. (When I watch a movie, my memory records every single minute basically. So you can see how hard this was on my brain.) XPNow Julia wanted to watch it again.
'Well she doesn't have it at home,' I thought to myself. 'I guess letting her watch it one more time won't hurt anyone.'
The DVD was already on menu, since we'd just finished watching it. I pressed play. Julia and I settled back on the couch. The first few scenes of the movie went on as normal. (everyone in the movie has an English accent by the way.) Alice's dad comforted her while she had a nightmare involving strange creatures. Then after skipping thirteen years they come to Alice's surprise engagement party. She sees the White Rabbit off and on. Then finally, as Hamish proposes to her, she says she "needs a moment", and takes off after him. Nope, nothing extraordinary happened until I least expected it. The Cheshire Cat leads her to the table where the March Hare, the Mad Hatter (Tarrant Hightopp), and Mallymkun (the doormuse.) spend their days at. As the Mad Hatter spots Alice coming, he walks across the table…
"I knew it was you, I'd know you anywhere!" the Hatter addressed Alice in excitement.
"I'd know him anywhere!" he tried to whisper.
The March Hare and Mally chuckled at Tarrant's lame joke. At that moment, a glare reflected off the screen. When it faded, instead of the Mad Hatter looking at Alice, he was facing Julia and I!
"Ok, that definitely wasn't there before," I said, puzzled.
"No, it wasn't," Julia agreed half in awe, half in worry.
And what was supposed to happen is the Hatter picks Alice up by the hand (she's like a little less than a foot tall right now.) and sets her down on a chair, the movie then goes on. But a fairly giant hand picked me up by the hand instead!!! I gave a yelp of fright. Julia nearly fainted, but her senses came back quickly-but still too late- and tried to yank me back.
"Now don't be stubborn," came the voice of the Mad Hatter.
There was no point in getting the guy annoyed, so if this was real, and he thought I was Alice, I didn't really want to make her situation even more weird without a few important allies. Besides, this was kind of cool. XP
"Julia, let go," I told her.
"No way!" she exclaimed.
"You just have to trust me!" I insisted.
Julia thought a moment, sighed, and let go of my ankles. I was flung through the screen. And when I looked back from where I came, the screen was no longer there, only the woodsy path the Cheshire Cat and Alice had traveled to get to Tarrant's (the Hatter ok?) tea table. As I glanced upon my frontward surroundings, I came to realize I was Alice's current size. As I was set upon the table I saw that everyone in the scene was frozen where they were (before I'd slipped through.), except the Mad Hatter and I.
"Not much time to explain," Tarrant said. "Not much time at all,"
I was speechless, but waved my hand to signal him to start explaining.
"Well, someone's been fiddling with the course of events in our world, and if this continues to happen, The Red Queen could take over entirely, with everyone under her control, and I imagine Mirana will be executed. To make matter worse, we forget everything that's happened after someone restarts our recorded period of time! Everything and everyone will be destroyed!" (he said that all in one breath! o.O)
"And what exactly does this have to do with me?" I asked finding my voice. (That was harsh of me! XP)
"You're the only one I could find from the Otherworld that has enough memory of what happens in Underland over a fairly large span of time, so that's what makes me feel comfortable about putting our fate in your hands,"
Seriously? Well I have read the book like ten times, seen the cartoon a million times, and seen the new movie twenty times,..... but seriously?
I placed my hands on my hips.
"So your saying it's my problem now?" I inquired.
Tarrant now had an anxious look on his face, and he quickly checked his pocket watch.
"Thirty seconds," he said to himself aloud.
"Well wouldn't it constantly nag at you, the fact that you let one of your favorite worlds be destoryed?" he pressed.
"Huh, Now that you say that I guess I really have no choice from here," I sighed.
"All you have to do is make sure all goes right and no one interferes unless it's supposed to happen, another thing, don't let yourself be known to anyone besides me, and one last thing, if someone doesn't do as fate says, you can temporarily reside inside their body if you concentrate,"
"Oh, so you don't think I'm Al...?" I began.
Five, Four, Three...........
"Hide!"Tarrant (he's the Hatter! Last reminder! XP) cried.
"Be careful because...." I tried to begin again, about to warn him that Stanye was about to come here, looking for Alice.
"NO! Don't tell me anything, that will alter things all on its own,"
"Suit yourself,"
The scene unfroze. I ducked into a bush, hoping Bayard, the bloodhound, wouldn't be distracted by me and my blood.
"....Bloody big head being the Red Queen," the Cheshire Cat remarked where he'd left off.
Then came the part when the Mad Hatter and the March Hare told Alice about how she was destined to kill the Jabberwocky.
"All this talk of blood and slaying has put me off my tea," the Cheshire Cat commented when his line once again came into turn.
He stirred his tea sadly.
"Our world is falling to ruin, and Chester (as everyone called the Cheshire Cat.) is put off his tea," the Mad Hatter mocked.
His eyes turned a deep orange. He rose from his seat at the far end of the table, creeping towards Chester.
"The day it happened, you disappared to save your own skin!" Anger was now obvious in Tarrant's voice and it was stiff and upscaled, and all his sentences seemed as one word.
" My god your a coward!HOW DARE YOU!...."(Sorry, but my original sentence wouldn't show up.)
"HATTER!" Mally cried, finally speaking up.
"I'mfine," the Hatter squeaked, his eyes and tone returning to normal.
"MEEEOW!" the March Hare roared, then cackled madly.
From my hiding place, I laughed out loud, I'd always loved that part. :)
