Alice in….. Another Land?
By: *YUKIHIME* Kuro'Usagihime
~Scene 1~
One day, Alice was silently sleeping under the shade of the tree. In her face, we can see the happiness due to her little dream. She was peaceful in her own way but she didn't know that someone on that day can change her life in a sudden….
Alice: (stretched out her arms…. Currently in a big comfy bed.) Oh my…. Where am I? (stands up, looks around and starts to panic.) Where am I? This place is certainly new to me!
The door suddenly opened and a girl with an eyeglass and wearing a green jacket entered.
Catty Pillar: Oh, you're awake! How's your sleep?
Alice: Fine… Wait, who are you? Where am I?
Catty Pillar: (smiles to Alice and stretches her hand for a handshake) I'm Catty. Catty Pillar. You can call me Cathy though. (Alice won't reach Cathy's hand back) What's wrong? (looks at her hand) My hands are clean…. Don't worry about it.
Alice: I don't trust you.
Cathy: (laughs) Is that so? That's too bad. I thought we can be good friends…
Alice : Where am I?!
Cathy: Patience dear… Patience…
Alice : (Crosses arms and caught a glance of the outside through a window) Wait… this is…. A school?
Cathy: Yes deary. This is a first class high school and it's your first day here.
Alice: MY…. First day?
Cathy: (still smiling) Yes deary….
Alice : Oh… you mean it's my first day coming here?
Cathy: No…. what I mean is… it's your first day in school… You just transferred here 30 minutes, 25 seconds, and 23 milliseconds ago.
Alice : (Raises eyebrows and looks at Cathy) I didn't transfer here…
Cathy: You just did.
Alice : (still confused) Listen… I was just sleeping under a tree and when I woke up, I'm suddenly here… in front of a girl who tells me that I just transferred here… There's a big question mark written on it!
Cathy: Well…. Question marks are hard things dear. You have to make a curve first before jumping down and to answer it, you have to jump up again and erase the curve to let the dot stay.
Alice : So…?
Cathy: So what I mean is… you have to go back to the reason why you're here.
Alice : Why am I here? (asking to herself) Why?...?
Cathy : That's easy! What do you usually do at school?
Alice : Study?
Cathy: Then that's the reason! (holds Alice's hand and dashes out the room)
Cathy brought Alice to a hall full with doors and within these doors are group of classes ongoing with their own lessons.
Cathy: (Took a stop in front of a certain door) Well, this is your stop. This will be your new room.
As the door opened, Alice peeked into the room and what she saw was a class sitting obediently, listening to the teacher. She smiled as she saw them taking notes and remembered her own class doing the same.
Alice : (still peeking) Well that's nice…. But I'm not here to listen to some lessons. I need to – (looks back to Cathy but she's not there anymore) …. Cath?
(Started searching for Cathy) Cath? Where are you?
Cheshire:(Hugs Alice from the back.) Looking for me?
Alice : Waa… Wha – Who – (pushes Cheshire. Of course, he fell down) Who are you?!
Cheshire: (looks at Alice with a big smile and stands) I should be the one asking you. Who are you? You've been looking for me, right?
Alice : Looking? I'm not looking for you… Who I'm looking for was a girl named Cathy… Catty Pillar.
Cheshire: Who? Caterpillar? If you're looking for one, there are plenty in the garden.
Alice : No… Catty Pillar… A tall girl with an eyeglass wearing a green jacket.
Cheshire: Oh… that Catty…. She's kind of the school guidance councilor, if you're looking for her you should –
Alice : Ah… thanks. You're such a great help. (Walks but Cheshire suddenly held her hand)
Cheshire: Tsk, tsk… This building is kind of a maze itself… You sure you want to go alone?
Alice : Uhh… I-
Cheshire: By the way, I'm Cheshire Antony Torre, initial CAT… ^_^ What's your name?
Alice : I'm – I'm Alice…
Cheshire: The Alice?
Alice : (Nods)
Cheshire: Ah! You're that girl that that rabbit brought!
Alice : Rabbit?
Cheshire: (laughs) Ah… I see… I see…
Alice : What?
Cheshire: (suddenly his expression turned to being serious… XD) Alice…
Alice : (looks up to Cheshire)
Cheshire: I… like you… ^_^
Alice : Huh?
Cheshire: Will you go out with me?
Alice : Oh… sure… where's the door to outside.
Cheshire: Huh? O_o
Alice : You want to go outside, right? With me? So we'll be going out…
Cheshire: No! That's not what I mean. What I mean is-
Rabbi: (Runs in between Alice and Cheshire) I'm late! I'm late! For an important date! No time to say hello! Goodbye! I'm late! I'm late!
(exit)
Alice : (looking at Rabbi) Who's that?
Cheshire: Nah… that's Rabbi Torre… my brother. He's the one who brought you here.
Alice : What? Why would he do that?
Cheshire: I don't know… usually he just runs trying to catch up with his hectic schedule.
Alice : I better ask him. (tries to follow Rabbi but Cheshire held her hand again) What again?
Cheshire: You're leaving me behind?
Alice : Well… you can lead the way. This school is like a maze, right?
Cheshire: Well, that's right.
Alice : So you're coming with me?
Cheshire: (nod) Coming with you is better than letting 'him' be with you.
Alice : Did you say something?
Cheshire: Nothing… Let's go.
And hand in hand, the two started their search for Rabbi Torre.
Meanwhile, in a certain class behind those doors. The obedient students that Alice just seen finally dropped their act.
Ms. Mockenzie: Okay class! That's how you do it. (Bell rings) Ohh… That's it. Goodbye class…
Students: (stands) Goodbye Ms. Mockenzie!
Ms. Mockenzie: (EXIT)
Students: (As soon as the teacher disappeared from their sight, the students started their own messy, topsy-turvy, out-of-school things to do)
Minnie: Finally! I'm holding my phone up again! Ms. Mockenzie is definitely a terror! =_= Once, my phone was nearly sold to a merchant because of
her, and I also got detention after that!
Daisy: I know right! I can't even call my clan during class hours! Even update my twitter and facebook through phone. And think about those
minus points! (Shivers) I wonder if my grades are okay?
Lory: Well… those are not major problems… (yawns) I can't even sleep during her hours! =_=
Dodo: Shush you all! Ms. Mockenzie is much better than 'her'… so be grateful that 'she's' not here!
Minnie & Daisy: (Look at each other)
Minnie: Well… you're right.
Students: (Notices someone outside)
Daisy: (stands) Guys… someone's coming- Quick! On your positions!
Students: (Everything came back into order and there enters Mickey Mouse… Deh… joke! XDD!)
Mickey: Oh… what's with this noisy silence?
Minnie: Mickey! (stands up and was about to go to Mickey but Daisy suddenly scolded her)
Daisy: Min! This room has enough PDA's already! Better not try doing what you're thinking!
Minnie: (Sits down immediately)
Dodo: 'Sup bro!
Mickey: 'Sup! Anyway! Guys… there's this new transferee…
Lory: Not interested!
Dodo: Is that all you have to say?
Mickey: …. And she's transferred by Knave.
Agil: Eh…? No way?! That guy did something like that? [A/N: Agil; one of the PDA's]
Mickey: Yep… and it seems that that transferee is supposed to be in our class!
Dulce: 'She' won't be happy when she hears that news.
Queena: (Suddenly enters the room) Who won't be happy? (Then poses in front of her class.)
Students: (Silence)
Queena: Mickey…. What are you announcing to them?
Mickey: Uh… nothing… (Denial :p)
Queena: (Looks at Mickey and glares.) What we're you talking about?
Under # 1: Mickey's just telling us about a new transferee student.
Queena: Oh…. That's nothing to worry about.
Under # 2: But she's transferred here by the Knave.
Queena: (Bits her lip then shouts in anger) WHAT?! THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE! WHY WOULD HE DO SOMETHING AS ABSURD AS THAT?!
Students: (SILENCE)
Queena: Hah! I'm supposed to be taking a break today since too much of this school can be a heavy toll to my beauty… but since I heard something
unpleasant going on…. I decided to come here. I thought it was all a ridiculous rumor! BUT IT'S NOT! (Paces back and forth) I NEED TO KNOW WHO THIS TRANSFEREE IS! (Calms herself a bit) Can somebody tell me who that girl is?
Students: (Silence)
Queena: (Shouts) ANYONE?!
Under # 1,2 & 3 : Mickey…
Queena: (Looks at Mickey which makes him nervous.) So… Mickey…? Do you know this transferee that you're talking
about?
Mickey: (Silence)
Queena: (Impatient) So…?
Mickey: (Still silent)
Queena: Hah! Faithful servants!
Under # 1,2 & 3 : (In attention)
Queena: OFF WITH HIS GRADES!
Mickey: But-!
Queena: What? That's what you get in siding against me! The Queen of the School! Hah! You're nothing but little bugs to me…! I can always fail you in every subjects as the Principal's daughter!
Cana: [Agil's ka-PDA] (Whisper) Though you can't do anything when it comes to the 'Torre' brothers, the School Chairman's sons.
Queena: (Glares at Cana) What's that? Am I hearing a little fat bee buzzing something unpleasant? If you have something to say, say it to me & I'll kick you out of school… Oh… and if you want, I'll also let your so-called-boyfriend with you…
Cana: ...
Queena: Bugs will always be bugs… Hmm… nevermind. Sooner or later, I'll know who that girl is… And she'll know that I'm the only queen of this school… And I am the only one worthy to have Knave.!
