Preface
I remember her like it was yesterday. Her curly blonde hair, blue eyes, perfectly pressed blue dresses, everything. She had been my best friend, and I had been her's. We were ten when she went missing.
Everyday since she could walk, she would hike up her blue dress and climb over the fence separating our houses. She loved sharing her odd dreams with me. The dreams would always start off the same, with her falling down a rabbit hole. However, the events that occurred were always different. Before she disappeared, she shared one last dream with me.
"You see, Hatter, it started the same as usual. I fell a really long distance, so long that I was able to have a few cups of tea. When I stopped falling, I landed on the softest bed imaginable." She closed her eyes, as if remembering the way it felt to lay on it. "But! This was different because all the creatures from all the variations of dreams I've had were there surrounding me. They kept motioning for me to follow, but I refused. Two of the queen's knights grabbed me and dragged me along. Meanwhile, everyone else was chanting 'Please, find us. Help us.' They would not stop until I finally awoke."
I knew she was about to suggest something crazy from the twinkle in her eyes and the way she bounced on the heels of her feet.
"I think I must go find them and help." She grinned widely. "And I am recruiting you to help me because you know the woods better than I."
"No, is a bad idea. Please don't go." I had tried, but with little effort. She would go anyway with or without me. It was just how she was. Maybe this time I had thought that she would listen to me and not go. Just this one time.
She took in a deep breath and hugged me tightly. "l'll see you soon then, Hatter"
I haven't seen Alice since that day.
Author's note: Hello. So sorry this came out weird. Fanfiction went screwy on me.
