Disclaimer! I don't own Alice in Wonderland. I guess I own Erica and Colby is Shaggelmalove('s?).
~Just want everyone to know I still exist. Still Working on STYDI.
The reign of the Red Queen was over! The Jabberwocky had been slain by the Chosen Ones of Underland. The two Champions sat in their bedchambers at Mamoreal only hours after they saved Underland from the forces of true evil. Colby, the youngest and most childish of the two was sitting cross-legged on the carpet between the two beds while Erica, the older and more mature one, was lying down with her head hanging off of the foot of her bed.
"You know what I want to do…" Colby asked her friend with a smile on her face.
"I'm afraid to ask" Erica replied, rolling her eyes.
"I want to bake," the cheerful 16-year-old giggled.
"We just kill a Jabberwocky and you want to…" Erica started, blood boiling, "…nevermind." She had learned long ago to never to even try to understand the innerworkings of Colby's mind.
"Well, if you're going to be like that then I'll just ask the Hatter to join me." Colby said slyly. She's had a crush on the royal hatter since she could remember and always had a devious plan to get them alone.
"I'm sure that Tarrent has more important things to do than fulfill your ridiculous wishes." Erica snapped. She would never admit it, but she had feelings toward the Hatter and was jealous that he liked Colby more. Everyone liked Colby more; he sweet personality, her cute face, and bright smile while her friend almost never smiled, the only thing that spilled out of her mouth were insults, and she wasn't ugly at all; she was fairly pretty, but she made her appearance deliberately intimidating. She brushed it off as nothing, but it burned inside of her with the white-hot intensity of a thousand-suns.
"Oh, nonsence!" a familiar voice said at the door, "I'm here only to fulfill ridiculous wishes!" It was the Hatter.
"Ha! See?" Colby smile triumphantly. Erica sat up and picked up a random book so she didn't slap the smug look off of her friend's face…and she would do it too.
"Now what is this ridiculous wish you wish to have wishfully fulfilled?" the Hatter asked with that adorable lisp of his.
"I want to bake," Colby sighed dreamily, "I haven't since I left Upperland."
"Bake?" Tarrent wondered. The young girl gasped at the royal hatter.
"You don't know what… how do you…" she stuttered, dumbfounded, "Come with me!" She grabbed her friend's hand and led him to the kitchen.
Colby and the Hatter were not gone for 15 minutes when a sudden crash from the kitchen snapped Erica out of her short nap. Angrily, she stormed to the kitchen to yell at the two troublemakers, but stopped when she saw her friends in the middle of the white kitchen covered in flour to make them match the walls. There was an egg on Tarrent's head and butter smeared on Colby's nose.
"You know…" Erica chuckled, "most people use whipped cream and handcuffs, but I guess cake mix works just as well." Her friend's face turned bright crimson.
"It's nothing like that!" she shrieked.
"You're getting awfully defensive," the older girl pointed out.
"I don't get it," the Hatter cocked his head in wonder. Colby and Erica exchanged glances and there was a short awkward silence.
"Ask Colby, Tarrent," Erica smiled slyly, "She'll tell you all about." Colby's eyes went wide with fear.
"Oh good, because I am dreadfully confused," he smiled innocently. Erica mouthed "good luck" to her friend and left to finish her nap leaving Colby wide-eyed and slack-jawed with the Hatter. Since that day, Colby vowed to get Erica back for that…she just needs to figure out how.
