"Goodness, I'm late!" muttered William H Rabbit, commonly known as the White Rabbit.
He briskly walked down a crowded sidewalk. He was in the human world, the world of Alice Liddell.
Now before we get confused, William is the son of the original White Rabbit. He was a teenager in human years.
His white hair was cut short and tidy. His eyes were a bright red that would be the envy of any man or animal. He currently wore a black vest over a white long-sleeved dress shirt tucked into a pair of black slacks topped off with black dress shoes and a black tie. Even in the human world, William liked to look proper.
He looked like a normal human being… except for the pair of snow white bunny ears jutting from the top of his head. But this was the human world! No one paid any attention to odd things like that!
William finally turned down an alley, coming to a stop in front of a dusty, old shop. He stepped in, wincing slightly as a loud bell rang as he opened the door. An old lady, as dusty-looking as the shop, looked up.
"Hello, William," she wheezed softly. William nodded to her.
"Which mirror am I to take?" he asked.
"The usual," she replied. William nodded again and strode up to a large, human-size mirror in the back of the shop. He gave the lady one last nod before stepping through. The mirror rippled like water and swallowed the boy, bunny-ears and all.
William was so preoccupied that he never noticed that two people were following him! He never noticed the blue-eyed blonde girl with curious eyes and a gentle smile. He never noticed the dark-eyed girl with raven-colored hair and a hidden smile tucked into the right corner of her lips.
No, William never noticed them step into the shop. He never noticed them nod at the lady, and he especially didn't notice as they fell into the mirror, first the blonde and then the raven-hair.
Oh, what a shame.
