Alice was delighted. She found herself in Wonderland again. The feeling of familiarity was rushing back to her. The familiar clocks ticking and tables. The fluffy chairs and dark red walls.
"I'm late. Oh dear. The Queen will have my head!" The White Rabbit Alice knew all so well rushed past her. His watch clicking away.
"White Rabbit?" Alice called after him, pronouncing the 'wh' sound just as she was taught. She followed him through the winding halls and saw him go through a door. The door, Alice knew, that a person had to be only an inch big. Everything seemed like de ja vu. Or like a dream.
She turned around and saw a table with a tiny bottle reading 'Drink Me'. She drank it. Alice shrunk to only the size of an ant, or what an ant's size would be in her world.
Everything was so much bigger. Alice took a step, and it felt strange. It felt as if she was falling up through the rabbit hole in which she came.
Alice awoke with a start. Her hair was drenched with sweat and stuck to her head. Her light blue night gown fell off her shoulder. Alice threw the covers off her and immediatley felt cold. She climbed out of bed, snatching her robe and tied it around herself.
For some reason that Alice wasn't quite aware of, everything rushed back to her. Every memory of Wonderland, ever face, even the smells. The White rabbit she dreamed about. The Red Queen who had scared Alice so much. The March Hare, who was too loud for Alice's quiet personality. And Hatter. The Mad Hatter. Alice knew he remembered her. Six years ago he had told her to forget about Wonderland, about him. She promised.
But, Alice wasn't one to keep promises. Especially one to this extent.
