~Angel in Wonderland~
"And Alice woke up, all of her memories of Wonderland still kept in her mind. In the distance, she saw her family waiting for her. She looked around and saw that the world around her was perfect as it is. Who needed perfect when it was already there? The End."
Angel closed the book and smiled as Yuudai, Rosette, and Starlette slept fondly in their cribs. Closing the book, she placed it in it's shelf and walked out of the triplet's room. Yusei and Akiza had decided to go out tonight and they left her in charge of the kids. She was alright with it. She liked taking care of her younger siblings. They were asleep now, anyway, so everything was going alright. Everyone else she knew was busy so she had nothing else to do now that they were all asleep. Sighing, she walked into the living room and lied down on the couch, pulling the rubber band of her ponytail out.
Look up at the ceiling, Angel's eyes began to droop lazily as the silence was consuming her. Giving one light yawn, Angel closed her eyes soundlessly, falling asleep.
"I'm late! I'm late! For a very important date!"
Angel's eyes snapped open and she sat up on the couch, darting her silver-gray eyes around the living room. She heard the door slam and she bolted up, running to the back down and opening it. She looked around the yard and listen very carefully.
"No time to say "hello," "goodbye!" I'm late! I'm late! I'm late!"
Angel looked to the middle of the yard and gasped when she saw it was Crystal Beast Ruby Carbuncle racing across the yard. The odd thing wasn't that she was seeing Ruby, no, she saw this beast everyday thanks to her psychic abilities. What was odd was that Ruby was dressed in a ridiculous outfit. She wore a orange overcoat with a big white collar and red ribbons. Around her neck was a trumpet attached to her white collar.
The Duel Monster paused and turned to Angel, red eyes widening at Angel. Said prodigy gasped and Ruby gave a scream, running to the big tree in the yard. The monster crawled into the hole that was just under the tree and disappeared.
"Wait! Ruby!" yelled Angel as she raced to the tree and got to her knees. Sneaking into the hole, she gave a scream as she fell down what seem to be a bottomless hole. She gasped and yelped as items such as Duel card and furniture passed her. Her landing was met by a mattress big enough to be for a giant. Blinking, Angel got off the mattress and stood up, looking around the room with many door and hallways.
"Where the heck am I?" she asked herself as she walked around.
"Who knows. That's for you to find out, isn't it?" asked a bored voice. Angel looked around, seeing no one.
"Down here." said a bored tone. Angel looked down and saw it was Spencer Catillain, a boy who she was up against in the TSRT. He wore a green tunic with bronze armor and he held a spear in his hand with a helmet with bronze horns. The weirdest thing was that he was a tall as a pencil.
"Spencer? How did you get that small? And how did you get here?" asked Angel, bending on her knees to the boy's level.
"Who is this Spencer you speak of, giant? I am the gate keeper of Wonderland. If you have your entry key, you are permitted to enter Wonderland." said the gate keeper who looked like Spencer.
"Entry key? I don't have one." said Angel. The gate keeper pointed behind her.
"Isn't it on that table?" he asked. Angel turned over and saw a table. Standing up, she walked over to it and saw a tiny key, no bigger than her thumb.
"OK, I have my key. But how do I get in the door?" asked the crimson-streaked girl. A purple pillow suddenly appeared and a plate of cookies came along with it. Right next to it was a bottle of… Soda?
"Eat the Blue-Eyes White Dragon cookie and it will make you as small as me. The bottle of soda will help you on your quest for the royal caller." said the gate keeper. Angel took the three items in her hand and she looked to the Spencer-look-alike.
"Are you sure?" she asked. The gate keeper nodded and Angel sighed, taking a bite out of the cookie and waiting. When she blinked, she saw that she was now very small, the bottle and the key as well. Shrugging and putting the bottle in her pocket, she walked to the gate keeper.
"Thanks for your help." she said with a smile. The gate keeper shrugged and stepped aside.
"Just get going. And if you ever have a deck, lets Duel sometime." he said. Angel gave a light laugh and nod, using her key to open the door, giving one last wave, she walked through the door and it closed behind her. Her next site was shocking.
The she was now on a beach. The sky was a little cloudy and the sand was cool. The tides and wave of the ocean nearby rippled by the shoreline. The wind blew and Angel shivered, curing that she was only in her light green shirt with her favorite red jacket and light blue jeans with sandals. Putting on her hood, Angel walked around until she heard music and singing. Curiously, she walked further down the beach until she spotted a group of Duel spirits dancing and singing. In the middle of the group was Bruno, wearing a old looking black coat with gray dress pants and shoes. He was dancing along.
"Uncle Bruno?" asked Angel as she walked over to the group. Bruno saw her and laughed merely, continuing to dance.
"Bruno who? I am the Dodo. Though I have no beak or wings, a dance and sing with all the Duel spirits that cross this place." said the Dodo, giving a goofy smile. Shaking her head, Angel gave a yelp as one of the young Duel spirits grabbed her hands and made her dance with her. Angel tried to fallow their dance but it only caused her to trip a bit.
"I'm sorry, I can't dance." she apologized, getting up and brushing sand off her. The Dodo gave a laugh.
"Silly little friend. Dancing is something anyone can do! There is no right way to do it! All that matters is that you're having fun!" he laughed as they danced. He then pointed to the forest near by. "Take that way and you will find what you are looking for. Have a fun journey!" he called. Angel looked to the forest and then to the bluenette, nodding her head slowly.
"Alright. Thanks for your help." she said as the group danced away from her with joyous laughter. Taking a moment to giggle at the ridiculous antics, Angel walked through the forest, looking at the strange wildlife and vegetation.
"Now where should I go?" she asked herself when she saw two people playing by a small pond. It was Halley and Lilly. At least, they looked like them. Both girls were wearing red overalls with yellow dresses and red and yellow stripped hats with spinners on the top of them. Blinking, Angel walked over.
"Um, hi? I guess you guys are not Halley and Lilly, huh?" she asked. Both girls shook their heads simultaneously.
"Nope, sorry ma'am, we don't know those two. I'm Tweedle-dee. And this is Tweedle-dum." said the girl that looked like Halley, pointing to herself than the Lilly-look-alike.
"Oh, I'm sorry for confusing you guys for them. Listen, I'm looking for Crystal Beast Ruby Carbuncle. Has she passed by here?" asked Angel. Tweedle-dum pointed deeper to the woods.
"That funny-looking creature passed by here not too long ago, ma'am." she said. Angel nodded and smiled at them.
"OK, thanks for your help. Goodbye." she said, waving to them as she took the path Tweedle-dum had told her. As she walked, she heard a noise and gasped when she saw a shadow. Her heart pounded as the figure came close and it was-
"Hi ya, little gal. you lost or something?" asked the person who looked like Crow. He wore a purple suit with black dress shoes and a purple fedora on his hat. His human eras were replaced with purple stripped cat ears and there was cat tail curled at his back.
"Uh, yeah. I kind of am. I'm looking for-"
"Ah! I know what you're looking for, fallow me, little lady." said 'Crow' as he took Angel's hand and led her past the trees.
"Hey! Where are we going?" asked Angel as she was pulled down a flower path.
"We're heading to the Mad Hater's un-birthday party! That's where you wanna go, right? It a real swell place, I tell ya. Oh yeah, I'm the Cheshire Cat! But call me Cheshire." said Cheshire as he led Angel to a house with wild flowers growing everywhere. He then led her to a back yard where there was a giant and long table covered in a white cloth. On the table were deserts of all sorts and there were different tea pots and tea cups, all with different type of tea. Already four people were at the table.
"Hey, Cheshire! Glad you could make it! Who's the chick?" asked a boy who had Rail's looks as he walked over. He wore a brown coat with green overalls and black dress shoes. On his head were two brown rabbit ears, one dropped while the other perked.
"Some gal I found lost in the forest. She was looking for some place so I brought her here." said Cheshire. The Rail doppelganger gave a grin.
"Well it's nice to meet you, new girl. They call me the March Hare. But call me March, everyone dose." said March.
"Nice to meet you. Um, what is this party for exactly?" asked Angel as she looked around. March took her hand and led her to the table.
"Well this is for the Mad Hater's un-birthday. It's a special one and he wanted to have a good party this year. Those two right there are the Door Mouse and Door Rat. The two of them took only one drink of tea and they were out like a light." said the hare as he pointed to the two people that looked like Mike and Kallin. Both wore gray suits with red bow ties and black dress shoes. Popped on both the sides of their heads were gray rodent ear. Both of them were sleeping with small hiccups.(AN: Seriously, where's my camera when I need it XD)
Angel gave a light laugh and the door to the home suddenly opened, a person walking out of it. The person looked exactly like Drake. He was dressed in a dark brown coat with a dark green dress shirt. He also wore light gray dress shirt and black dress shoes, white gloves on his hands, and a red scarf around his neck. On his head was a dark green top hat with a red ribbon around the brim with a little card that had the numbers 10/6.
"What's with all the commotion? No commotion goes on until I say it goes on." said 'Drake as he walked into the yard.
"Hey ya, Mad Hater. S'k that this little gal joins your party?" asked Cheshire, shoving Angel forward. The Mad Hater walked over to her and looked at her up and down. He suddenly gave a smirk that made Angel blush.
"Sure. What's your name, girl?" he asked. Angel cleared her throat.
"Angel." she said. The Mad Hater took her hand and kissed it, making Angel go more red. Fantasy or reality, Drake always knew how to make Angel flustered.
"Nice name. you can call me Mad Hater. Are you here for my un-birthday?" asked Mad Hater. Angel straighten herself and shook her head.
"I'd like to but I'm looking for my Ruby Carbuncle. Did she pass by here?" she asked. The Mad Hater looked a bit crestfallen but he gave a light smile and he pointed to a path.
"She passed by here not too long ago. Want me to take you to her?" he asked.
"What about your un-birthday?" asked Angel. The Drake-look-alike chuckled and took her hand.
"As long as I can travel with someone as beautiful as yourself, this'll be my best un-birthday ever." said the Mad Hater honestly. Angel smiled.
"Say, can I tag along?" asked March.
"Same here. I can wake up Door Rat and Mouse and we can be on our way. The more the merrier, right?" asked Cheshire. Angel laughed and nodded.
"Sure, lets get going." she said. Once Cheshire got the other two up, they all took the path to where the Mad Hater had pointed out.
"So where does this lead us anyway?" asked Angel as they walked down the path.
"The castle of the hearts resides there. The Royal Caller has been asked to announce something for the King and Queen of Hearts. Everyone in Wonderland is going to be there." said Door Mouse( Mike) as he gave a hiccup.
"Huh, well I hope she's there. Maybe she can help me find my way back home. I have to check on my little brother and sisters." said Angel, looking up at the sky and hopping the triplets were alright. The group then made it to a giant garden that was surround millions of roses. As they entered, sudden yells rand out and groups of people surrounded them, all of them dressed with white armor decorated with hearts, clubs, spades, and diamonds.
"Halt! What s your business here?" asked one of the men, who looked like Jack Atlas.
"I just want to see the Royal Caller. She might help me find my way home." said Angel, stepping forward. The guard took her by the arm while the other guards grabbed her friends.
"We'll see about that. Take them to be judge by the king and queen." said the lead guard, dragging Angel with the others fallowing. They were all led into a giant castle and into a giant room that had millions of people in it. In the middle of the room were two thrones with two people sitting on them. Both were dressed in royal robes of red white and black. The man wore a golden with a red mask covering his face while the woman had a tiara with a black mask covering her face. Sitting in front of them was the Royal Caller.( Ruby) Angel was pushed in front of them and the Royal Caller blew her trumpet.
"Court is now in session! The prisoner had trespassed the castle's territory." said the Ruby-look-alike.
"State your business. Why did you enter the royal garden?" asked the man on the throne, most likely the King of Hearts. Angel stood up and cleared her throat.
"Well, you see, your highness. I was trying to find a way home. I got lost." she said honestly.
"Is that so? Well, did you find a way?" asked the Queen of Hearts. Angel looked to the ground and thought back on her time in Wonderland.
"Well… Not exactly. I took direction from everyone I met so far. And they've all been really helpful, too. I guess you can say… I took more than one way and I then found my own way." she said, scratching the back of her head. She looked up when she heard the king chuckle.
"You're a good girl," he said as he took off his mask, revealing to be Yusei. Angel." he said with a small smile. The queen took off her mask, revealing to be Akiza.
"Indeed. We hope you will use the lessons you learned in the real world." said Akiza with a smile. Angel blinked at them. Then she looked at all the people, seeing that they were the people she met on her adventure. She smiled and nodded.
"I will use them, I promise. But, can you tell me how I can get home?" she asked. The king of Hearts smiled.
"Just drink the bottle you have in your pocket. And you will be back in your own world." he said. Angel reached into her pocket and pulled out the bottle, uncorking it. She looked to all of them and smiled.
"Thanks again. Goodbye." she said as she drunk up the soda and closed her eyes as the world around her blackened.
"Angel…"
"Angel…"
"Angel… Wake up!" the girl opened her eyes and she sat up, seeing that her family and friends were around her.
"You OK?" asked Drake, placing a hand on his girlfriend's forehead. Angel smiled and nodded.
"Yeah. Just had a good dream.
