Dorothy's house landed on the ground with a thud. She brushed herself off and cautiously peeked out of the door. She had a little dog at her feet.
"Oh my! Toto, I don't believe we're in Kansas any more..." She deposited her little dog into her hand basket and ventured outside. There was a vast expanse of little houses and a Yellow Brick Road spread in front of her.
"Welcome to Munchkinland!" a friendly voice greeted. Dorothy looked up and was dazzled by the woman in front of her, "come along, Dear. You have quite a journey ahead of you."
But on the other side of Munchkinland there was a special mirror...
"Oh my ears and whiskers! She'll have my head!" a rabbit, the White Rabbit, to be exact, exclaimed as he jumped out of a seemly solid mirror.
"Oh, Mister Rabbit!" a young girl with blonde hair exclaimed as she followed him through the mirror, "oh, dear. I've lost him." He was much too fast for her and had slipped into the fields. She wandered around before she was stopped by some birds.
"Serpent!" a pigeon shouted.
"What? I'm not a serpent!" the girl whined.
"You must be a serpent or you wouldn't be in this part of Wonderland, Oz!" a purple bird exclaimed.
"Wonderlandoz? What's that?" the girl asked in confusion.
"Wonderland, OZ. Two separate words, child," a green woman in black said calmly. She was leaning on a tree, the shadows shrouding her, "and who might you be?" The girl looked around and was shocked to see that everything was frozen. The birds that had once been attacking her with words were stiff with still-angry faces.
"I'm Alice," the girl told her, "what is this place? I've never seen anywhere like it."
"It's a place of nonsensical mischief," the woman said mysteriously, "and the only way out is the Red Road." She pointed to a brick spiral. The spiral held two colors: yellow and red. Alice looked at the expanse of the road in front of her, before seeing something odd.
"Are those squares?" she inquired. The woman smiled.
"Very observant," the woman mused, "yes, once you step foot onto the Red Road, you are inducted into a chess game not for the faint of heart. If you get to the end you become a queen. But there may be a heavy price for such royalty and escape." Alice thought on this. To be a queen! Finally something fun was happening in her life!
"I want to be queen," Alice said with purpose as she tilted her chin up.
"As you wish," the green woman snapped her fingers and was gone like smoke. The birds unfroze.
"You're after our eggs, you serpent!" the pigeon spat.
"I'm not a serpent! I'm a little girl!" Alice shouted indignantly. The birds cackled and squawked in laughter.
"I've just recently seen a little girl and you look nothing like that. You're neck is very much serpent-like!" the pigeon shouted.
"It just so happens that I don't want your eggs. I wish to be a queen," Alice told them with pomp.
"Well, be off, then!" the pigeon exclaimed.
"Be off!" a bluebird mimicked. All of the birds flew back into their tree to guard their eggs. They continued to stare at Alice warily until she was well out of sight.
"Well, those were the rudest birds I've ever met! Serpent indeed. I'm not a serpent... but they all laughed when I said I was a little girl. I don't even know who I am here. Am I still me? Who is me?" Alice had been walking absentmindedly and was startled to hear a voice.
"Who are you?" the voice was low and very drawn out. Alice whipped around to see a mushroom covered in fog. No, not fog... smoke.
"Hello?" she called out meekly. There was a blast of wind and a caterpillar was revealed to be sitting on the mushroom, "oh, hello, Sir." The caterpillar just continued to blow smoke rings from his hookah.
"Who are you?" the caterpillar repeated.
"I'm not quite sure I know anymore," Alice said glumly.
"I might know how to fix that, for one needs to go through a maze to find things. Maybe you will find yourself there," the caterpillar said mysteriously.
"What do you mean?" Alice inquired.
"The Goblin King holds reign over the Labyrinth. I don't quite know what he keeps in store there, but maybe he keeps you there," the caterpillar told her.
"Whatever do you mean?" Alice was confused, "I'm right here."
"But you are not because you do not know who you are," the caterpillar reasoned. Alice thought on this a moment.
"How do I get to this labyrinth?" Alice decided to asked. The caterpillar waved his hand and a tiny crack appeared in the wall behind him, "How am I supposed to fit in that?"
"I would be ten times my size if I did not smoke everyday," he said, "here." He offered up his hookah and Alice, being curious about what was behind that wall, took a puff. She began shrinking instantly.
"How do I know what to do?" Alice asked.
"Find my cousin, Dapper Worm. He knows where to go," the caterpillar said. Alice climbed up the wall to the small crack and crawled through it.
