DISCLAIMER! I don't own Alice one Wonderland. I have been wanting to write this for a VERY long time so I hope you like it! In my story, Alice has been to Wonderland four times. Time passed so different, it is now modern-day. Alice is also 23 now.
Dani's POV
Darkness, then a blinding light. Pink, purple, blue, and every other color tree surround me. I know where I am, the same place I am every night. If I could completely escape to this world, I would. Here, I am perfect. I am finally home.
I blink, and look around. I am in the same clearing I appear in every night. I am in old fashion clothes. A rose colored dress and stockings. I am in Underland, my wonderland. Music note birds fly over head. Each of their songs is a beautiful melody. I walk along the path in front of me. I don't know where I am heading, only that I am letting my body follow my feet. I see a majestic White Castle in the distance. I don't turn around, but I know the crumbling Red one is behind me.
I long to see my friends, the ones who understand me. I wonder where they are. I try to think about it, but using logic here is about as helpful as commanding the dishes to do themselves. I head towards the tea party. I HATE tea, which always upsets the Hatter, but that is where my friends tend to be. My friends are Tarrant Hightop, or Hatter as he is usually called, Mallymkun, or Mally, and Thackery Earwicket, or the March Hare.
'Ah, the Hatter...' I thought to myself. 'He is such a good friend, so sweet and kind...'
"What about me, love?" I heard from behind me.
"Oh my gosh, did I really say that aloud?" I turned to look at Chessur. Chessur, or Chess, is my best friend. I am always with him while I am in Underland. I have a crush on him, but I would not tell just anyone that, He was grinning ear to ear.
" Yes love, ya did."
"Hmmmmm... Well Chess, you are a nice cat."
"Is that all?"
" Nope!" I said, popping the 'p'. "As a man you are kind, general, sweet, my best friend, and much more!" I said. I watched him transform into his human form. Only certain people are allowed to see it. I ran to hug him and he picked me up and twirled me around.
" I missed you!" I said, hugging him tighter.
"I missed you more." He whispered into my ear. "So love, shall we be on our way?" He said, his trademark grin reappearing.
"Where are we going?"
"Why to the tea party of corse!" He said as if it was perfectly obvious. He turned back into the striped cat and reappeared a little ways a head of me.
"Lead the way!"
" Gladly!"
"DANI!" I heard right before I was tackled by a strange person. I saw a flash of red hair and pale skin as I was being pulled to the ground.
"What was that for?" I asked, rubbing my head, trying to stand, and failing.
"You're back!" He yelled.
"I come every day, what's so special about today?"
"Welllll... I can't tell you, but I know some one who could." He said, wiggling his eyebrows and looking at Chess.
"What are you talking about?" I said looking at Hatter."What is he talking about?" I said pointing at the mad man and looking at Chess.
"Nothing love." He said quickly.
"Okayy." I replied, not sure what to make of the whole situation. I turned to Chess but he was gone. I felt something furry around my neck. I also heard a purring noise. "I will hold you in my hands if you would like?" I said, fixing my hands so that I could hold him. He disappeared from my around my neck, and reappeared a second later in my arms. I started to pet him, and his purring was louder. "Like that, do ya?" I said giggling.
"Ye hav nae idea 'ow good tha feels, luv." He said softly in his natural accent, so that the others would not hear. Most people don't know he has an accent, but I do.
"How about we go to the lake?" He asked me. We often went to the lake to have some peace and quite an time to ourselves.
"Sure!" I said to my best friend.
We sat on the shore for hours. Just talking about different things, from the color of the lake (pink) to the fairy tales of Overland. He was in his human form.
"How was your day?" I asked him.
"Oh it was good." He replied absentmindedly. I turned to look at him, and he was already looking at me.
"What?" I asked him.
"Oh nothing..." He trailed off. I picked a blue rose (one that wasn't alive, mind you) from behind me, and twirled it around my fingers.
"Okay."
"Wait, there was something I was wanting to tell you," He said, trying to remember. What I heard next made me drop my beautiful flower to the ground. "Alice is coming back soon."
