It was an average day at the city. The birds chirped merrily, the bright sunlight was slowly causing people skin cancer... Well, it would have been a normal day, if two certain girls weren´t walking down a crowded street. The two teens were walking downtown, were an anime convention was taking place. The pair consisted on a small brunette and a tall blackette. Now, there was nothing abnormal with the taller teen, except for her blazing purple orbs and the fact that the ends of her hair were dyed a bright aqua blue. She was tall and slim and, had she used high-heels, she could have given somehow the aspect of a model. Her short black hair, contrasting with her slightly tanned skin, reached her shoulders as it swayed to the wind, the ends somehow defying gravity as they curled up on odd angles. As for her clothes, they were nothing special. She wore a tight sleeveless purple shirt, dark denim skinny jeans, black and gray Vans, and a light gray beanie hat. Over the sleeveless shirt she wore a generic dream catcher, three lone emerald feathers decorating the item. The most streaking factor of her clothing was a long fingerless striped glove, purple and black alternating until it reached her elbow, and yet that was still normal looking. However if you looked to the petite girl that worked as her companion… Now THAT was abnormal. The reason why people couldn't stop looking at the pair was the rather weird outfit that the brown haired girl was wearing. Her clothes consisted on a red dress that reached mid-thigh with a white frilly apron over it; to make it short it was somehow a redemption of an Alice in wonderland cosplay. On the sleeves of the red dress where two thin black stripes, separated about a centimeter between each, same black stripes that were at the bottom of the skirt part, a skirt that ended in a black lace. The white apron tied itself with a back ribbon; and it had a spade symbol on its lowest left corner. She also wore some black and white striped stockings that reached about 3 inches over her knees and a black ribbon that was tied sloppily on a bow over the left side of her head. And of course she wore some bright red Mary Jane's.

At the moment the brunette, whose name was April, was staring straight into the pavement; her gray gaze trying to evade the weird looks she was receiving from the people in general. The awkwardness of the situation only grew when a group of males passed by the girls, some trying to stifle their laughs, others don´t even trying to dissimulate them at all. April tried to glare at the males the best she could, only making some of them laugh harder. The petite girl gritted her teeth, and was about to literally ask them "What they were looking at?!" and "What was their f*cking problem?!", when she felt a slight touch at her shoulder. She harshly turned to see who had dared to touch her, only to find the soft gaze of her friend. –"Let them be, it´s worthless to fight them and you´ll never see them again. "- Then she smirked- "Besides it´s not like any of them were handsome."- She winked.

April sighed, but giggled shortly after.-"I guess you´re right, Mel-chan." She said a little more calmly, the boys now far away, walking down another street.

-"Still don´t understand why you came dressed already with the cosplay though. There are changing rooms after all…" The blackette, Melody, pointed out. April shyly looked to the pavement again, a pink blush in her face. –"I-I didn´t knew it. Besides I thought mom was going to dive me to the entrance."- She sighed deeply, a little bit annoyed saying the next part. –"I never expected mom was going to ditch me outside your house and that I´d have to walk FOUR squares enduring the stares of people as if I was a freaky weirdo." She pouted. At this Melody smiled. "But you ARE a weirdo."

-"Hahaha… You´re sooo f***ing funny Mel." April said, sarcasm evident.

-"Awww, how mean~!" The noirette feigned hurt.- "Besides you don´t need to be such an a**, we´re almost there."

And effectively, as the friends turned around the corner, they found the entrance to the before mentioned convention. Cosplayers from all the existing varieties were standing at the entrance, the event being started hours ago, wanting to refresh themselves with the fresh air that probably wasn´t compared to the one at the crowded establishment. This was probably because, even if there was air conditioner inside, the body warmth of the conglomeration at the complex was probably reaching inhuman conditions. The friends passed through the thick mass of anime fans until they reached the ticket both, were a woman in her mid-twenties was watching lazily at all the teens chatting under the afternoon sun. Melody approached the woman and asked for two tickets, then proceeded to pay for both herself and her friend, which was pouting childishly since she liked to pay things by herself (She wasn´t going to complaining though).

April sighed contently, being able to don´t feel awkward between the crowd. –"Well… LET´S GET IN~!"

After some hours of wandering and checking the stands each girl had at least bought some items of their liking and now were heading to the improvised food court of the event. Saying that they had been having fun was an understatement. Mel had bought 5 anime CDs, an onigiri plush toy, an assassin's creed themed necklace and almost anything that had her favorite yaoi OTP on it. Hell she´d even bought a pin that read I LOVE YAOI on it. It´s not that Melody was a total Fujoshi, she still liked shoujo, but since she had recently joined the fandom she still had that uncontrollable fangirl syndrome of buying everything related to her new addiction. April hadn´t bought as much as Mel (she had only bought a pair of manga tomes and a cellphone charm with a cute mudkip), but that didn´t mean she wasn´t having fun, in fact in was far from it. She had at least seen 6 cosplayers dressed as her favorite characters and she had befriended at least 4 of them. Even though she usually was shy she felt at her element talking to other people who liked the same as her.

Now the two teens were sitting quietly on one of the food court chairs, April absently eating a pocky stick and Melody drinking a funny looking soda she had become addicted to recently. Actually, it seemed the girl was quite prone to addictions.

As they chatted idly about who-knows-what, something caught the noirette´s attention. Passing right in front of them was a very good looking man with a scowl on his face, his attitude showing right away he disliked the place. But what caught the girls´ attention wasn´t how handsome he was, but more exactly the way he was dressed. He looked like an exact replica of Peter White, ears and all. Since heart no Kuni no Alice was both teens favorite manga, Melody almost had a heart attack right there, and April almost choked with her Pocky sticks. As the fellow in question walked away (not taking notice of the gapping girls) an almost breathless Melody whispered.-"Was that-?"

-"OH MY GOD! IT WAS A PETER WHITE COSPLAYER MEL! ITWASAPETERWHITECOSPLAYER!"- April suddenly shouted. Being in the hyper state she was she loosed no time and grabbed one of Melody´s arms, dragging her to the direction were the guy had walked away, rushing though the tight mass of people.-"We have to talk to him! I mean there aren´t many Kuni no Alice male fans out there~!"

-"Hey! Stop it!" As usual Melody was the rational one.- "You´re just going to literally glomp the guy and start bombarding him with questions about his cosplay?"

-"Uh… Yeah?" Since she was at a convention she didn't had shyness issues. At this answer Melody literally face palmed and glared at April, showing her disapproval.

-"Okay, fine! Then what do you suggest Miss smart***? How should we 'approach' him?" Melody ignored her friend´s rudeness and answered the most analytical was she could manage. –"Easy dear, instead of practically rushing toward him like creepy stalkers we´ll just wait until he passes by again." She declared, wide know-it-all grin on her face. April just pouted.

-"But he´ll go and, and, and…" Melody raised an eyebrow. –"F-fine." April surrendered. –"But is your fault if we don´t see him again."

And so the teens keep wandering with the hopes of finding the wonderland bunny again. Had they knew the man they had been looking at was the actual Peter White maybe they would have actually followed him…

Some time had passed since an irritated Peter White had leaved that dreaded place people called 'Anime convention'. He didn't even knew why he had entered. It was so unsanitary! He could swear he had even seen the germs as far as his eyesight permitted. He just thought he could maybe find an outsider to replace Alice in there, but alas not, since he had found nothing close to his lost love. He had been walking though the city without finding anything interesting. Just normal girls. No one could compare to his sweet Alice. And yet, even after trying to persuade Nightmare to not making him come, there he was; searching for someone to fill the hole Alice had left.

There was no use on keeping searching… He gave up, he would never find anyone like Alice… His Alice…

-"I give up."

Melody looked weirdly at her companion.-"Uh? Give up on what?" April glared at her, but she answered.-"I give up on searching the Peter White cosplayer."

-"Oh, you were still looking for him?" April had to retain herself from killing Mel right on the spot. She decided to change the topic. –"You know what just forget it. What time is it anyways?" She didn´t wanted her friend to believe she was a sicko that could get obsessed with someone so easily.

Melody knew her April wanted to change the subject so she didn´t quarrel.-"It´s quite late… Actually I told my mom I was going to return home half an hour ago…Meh she gives me an hour of tolerance anyways." She shrugged. Some minutes of silence passed by before April spoke of again.

-"Hey, Mel-chan."

-"What?"

-"Eto… Damn this is hard…" She sucked a quick breath. 'Better take this out quickly' she thought.-"IwonderifIcouldsleepinyourhometonightbec auseIfightedwithmomand-"

-"Excuse me, what did you said?" Melody asked, believing she had misunderstood the last part of the conversation. She was wrong.

-"I requested if could sleep in your home for tonight. Please." April winced in preparation for an outburst that never came.

Melody´s eye twitched and an irritable smile plastered on her face. Why had she asked with such a thing with such a small time of anticipation? She knew very well why April didn´t wanted to go to her house, and she couldn't blame the girl for having such a woman for a mother, but she could at least have asked more early! Now she had to explain her parents as to why she brought a friend to sleep over without telling them first. She sighed when she stared at the petite brunette failing epically at trying to persuade her with puppy eyes.

'Mom sure will ground me for not asking for permission first…' she thought before agreeing verbally. –"Fine… But you´ll sleep on the floor!"

-"YAAAAY~!" The girl chirped before finally registering the second part of the statement.-"Wah! Wait a sec-! … WATTDAYA MEAN BY SLEEPING ON THE FLOOR B*TCH?!"

And so the two girls headed to Melody´s house, April trying to persuade her friend to at least letting her sleep on the couch, both practically forgetting the bunny man they had seen earlier at the con.

After planning the 'route' to return to Melody´s home the girls decided to take a short cut though a nearby park, since they were currently out of founds, so neither of them could afford a cab. The park was beautifully surrounded by several kinds of trees, some bushes of common flowers contrasting with the greenery of the place. For being at the middle of the city, the park looked quite healthy, as if it wasn´t affected by the pollution that saturated the place nowadays.

Everything was going as normal as it should be, both girls chatting idly about this and that, when suddenly Melody yawned. Nothing out of normal one must think.-"So then she said to m- Mel are you listening?" April asked, not finding usual her partner's drowsiness. After all Melody usually stayed up late until her brain didn´t ordered her body to do an emergency shutdown. The only times were Melody was asleep was on Monday mornings at school, Sunday being her 'movie marathon day'.

-"I´m fin-" She couldn´t end her sentence since some meters away, heading toward the densest part of the park, was the 'Peter white cosplayer' as they thought.- "Look over there." She said to her friend.

-"Oh, it´s the Peter white guy right?" April said, not as cheery as the first time, since she was no more at the convention. After the mention of his name the sensitive ears of the bunny man twitched, trying to focus the origin of the noise.

-"It seems he is." Melody answered.

-"Hey, was it me or his ears just moved?"

-"…"

-"Oh come on don´t look at me like that!"

-"You´re conscious that they are false ears right? You know, that THEY DON´T MOVE?!"

April sweat dropped. –"Never mind… must have seen wrong then. Better let's keep going." while she still watched Peter White.

But as they were about to walk to their fixated destination, under the dim lamps of the park since the sun had almost set, Melody noticed something. The prime minister was in such a hurry, wanting to arrive the fastest way possible to his world, that he didn´t noticed when a handkerchief fell from one of his pockets. Melody did though. –"He dropped something." She said, running to pick up the item, closely followed by April.

-"It's a handkerchief" April commented. The small piece of fabric was neatly embroidered with the initials 'P W' –"thanks captain obvious Melody muttered.-"Anyways we need to catch up with him so we can give this back." She declared

-"Oh I get it. And then we can talk to him right~? You´re so brilliant!" In truth Melody was just a 'very good citizen' who just wanted to give back something that seemed of value to a total stranger. Now if the stranger was hot that was just a plus. –"Hey, you over there! I think you lost this!" April shouted as she picked the handkerchief from her friend hands, trying to get the males attention. Unluckily for her Peter had had enough interaction with annoying people for the day, and he didn´t cared anymore if every people with a heart was a foreigner in potential.

April huffed, annoyed at the male´s attitude. 'How rude!' So fueled by her annoyance she was that she didn´t cared anymore the guy could be a kuni no Alice fan or not, she just wanted to get over 5with it, since so far the bunny-man had acted like an a**. Not how an ideal man should act if you could ask her.

With handkerchief in hand and a pissed-as-hell look she ran towards him, closely followed by Melody, trying to stop a possible catastrophe with a very aggressive tsundere. However, after turning swiftly on one of the oldest trees of the park, Peter White couldn´t be seen anymore.

-"Ehhh?! Where the f*** did he go?! " Said April, heavily panting, as she slowed down to inspect the tree were the man had disappeared, now more pissed than before, since her objective had practically vanished into thin air. Melody, who was a few inches away, sighed, already accustomed to April´s mood swings, and walked towards her. However, since it was already dark, Melody didn´t see a big root that was particularly high, nor the giant rabbit hole she was about to fall into. It happened so quickly, one second she was walking and the next she was falling towards nothing but blackness. April watched her friend fell and without a second thought quickly grabbed her from the hem of her jeans. However it would be stupid to believe that such a small girl could stop a much taller one from falling, and so both girls fell into the rabbit hole.

At the top of the clock tower a certain incubus watched absently into the vast place upon his eyes: Wonderland. A place of dreams, sometimes nightmares. He had come to the roof to clear his mind after the arrival of Peter White. The prime minister hadn´t brought any outsider to play the game, daring to give nightmare excuses even though he could see right through him. After all he could read minds. Also, as if that wasn´t enough, Gray had arrived to his office with a stack of papers that could rival with clover tower´s height itself. Nightmare couldn´t help but shiver at the memory. And so he had ended there, running away from his assistant and finding the rooftop as his ultimate hiding place.

So deep in though was the lord of clover tower that it took him some time to realize two lingering presences right behind him. Nightmare sighed and turned slowly; expecting Gray and some random faceless ready to drag him back to that hell of work. His eyes widened for a second, as what he found was quite different to what he imagined. In front of him laid two girls unconscious, right at the center of the tower´s roof. At first he confused them with faceless but, as he got closer, he noticed the two teens closed eyelids. He couldn´t help but smile at the sight. Not only one, but TWO outsiders were right in front of him.

This game would surely be interesting. Perhaps it wasn´t such a bad idea to send Peter White…
